Chapter 311: Would I be afraid of her?
"What did you say?" Zhang Qingqing's triumphant smile froze on her face, and she asked back in disbelief.
"Don't you understand Chinese?" Xu Tian sneered, emphasizing his tone: "I told you to send the video."
Zhang Qingqing: ……
Was she hallucinating, or had Xu Tian been scared stupid?
Why did he start talking nonsense?
Nie Jingjing and Murong Xue were also shocked.
The atmosphere around them suddenly became somewhat eerie, and everyone stared at Xu Tian in a daze.
Especially Zhang Qingqing and Song Jiamo, who were fully convinced that Xu Tian would definitely order Nie Jingjing to apologize; they glared at Xu Tian in disbelief, simply not believing he would say such a thing so lightly.
On the other side, Nie Jingjing also felt it was incredible. She had originally thought Xu Tian would definitely scold her immediately, make her apologize, and also blame her for causing trouble everywhere, but Xu Tian didn't.
"Xu Tian, do you know what you're saying?" Zhang Qingqing's face turned blue and white, pointing at Xu Tian and shouting angrily: "As a manager, don't you know what impact this video will have on Nie Jingjing? I order you, apologize to us immediately, otherwise..."
"It's your freedom to send whatever you want, we won't apologize," Xu Tian ignored Zhang Qingqing's aggressiveness, glanced at the responsible-looking Nie Jingjing and Murong Xue, and said lightly.
"Let's go."
"Go?" Nie Jingjing pointed at herself blankly: "Where to?"
Seeing her like this, Xu Tian was both angry and amused.
He was reflecting on whether he had been too strict with Nie Jingjing usually?
Otherwise, she wouldn't think he would get angry without distinguishing right from wrong at a time like this, right?
In front of everyone, he didn't explain much, but walked toward the backstage of the theater.
When actors rehearse, there are resting rooms in the theater, but because it's troublesome to go back and forth, during rehearsals, everyone chooses to rest in the audience area, which is also convenient for observing other actors' rehearsals.
Nie Jingjing and Murong Xue looked at each other and followed with their respective assistants.
"Damn it, is this Xu Tian's brain flooded?" Zhang Qingqing stared at Xu Tian's back and cursed in annoyance: "Fine, you asked for this!"
Saying that, she opened Weibo and sent the video on her phone.
Only after sending it did she realize she had used her own account.
But it didn't matter; anyway, this video was enough to push Nie Jingjing, who already had a bad reputation, to the forefront of public opinion once again.
Recently, the authorities were catching typical examples to rectify bad artists. Nie Jingjing had hit the muzzle of the gun. Even if she had backing, in order to appease public anger, it would be impossible for her to have any good resources for a short time.
"Hehe, Nie Jingjing, you didn't expect to have today, did you?" Zhang Qingqing looked at the video's view count growing, a sinister and satisfied smile on her face.
……
Xu Tian and the others returned to Murong Xue's resting room.
Nie Jingjing followed Xu Tian nervously, not even daring to breathe loudly.
She seemed to understand why Xu Tian didn't get angry just now; he probably thought she was embarrassing and intended to return to the resting room, close the door, and then scold her.
She took a deep breath, already prepared to be scolded to pieces.
Murong Xue, An Ran, and Xiaoyu followed into the room, and Xiaoyu carefully closed the door.
They looked at Nie Jingjing and Xu Tian with worry, already struggling with how to persuade him when Xu Tian got angry in a moment.
Xu Tian didn't speak, pulled over a chair and sat down, raising his eyes to look at the crowd standing obediently in front of him like small animals.
Nie Jingjing swallowed hard and said uneasily: "Mr. Xu, I know I was wrong..."
"You performed well just now," Xu Tian nodded at her and said lightly.
"I won't dare to next time..." Nie Jingjing apologized subconsciously, but realized something was wrong halfway through. She looked up in surprise and looked at Xu Tian in disbelief: "Mr. Xu, what did you say?"
"Sister Jingjing, Mr. Xu isn't angry! He's even praising you!" Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief. She knew Mr. Xu wasn't someone who couldn't distinguish right from wrong; how could he be angry with Nie Jingjing because of this matter?
"You're really not angry?" Nie Jingjing opened her mouth blankly, seemingly still not daring to believe it.
"Why would I be angry?" Xu Tian looked at her with a half-smile: "Or do you think I'm a manager who can't distinguish right from wrong?"
"No! Absolutely not!" Nie Jingjing shook her head hurriedly, then showed a bright smile, stepped forward and grabbed Xu Tian's arm: "Mr. Xu, I knew you were the best manager in the world!"
Xu Tian didn't expect her action, and after reacting, he immediately pulled his hand away.
"Speak properly, don't move your hands and feet."
"It's fine in private, but in public, you must always pay attention to your words and deeds."
Although Nie Jingjing wasn't wrong this time, he still had to remind her not to be impulsive when encountering things.
"You were right to protect Murong Xue, but even if you want to stand up for her, you can't be reckless and get yourself involved..."
"Mr. Xu, are you worried about me?" Nie Jingjing was moved to tears: "I knew you wouldn't be so heartless!"
Xu Tian: ……
How did these lines sound like the lines of a female lead questioning a scumbag in an eight o'clock soap opera?
"Mr. Xu, if Zhang Qingqing gets angry from embarrassment and uploads the video to Weibo, what should we do?" Xiaoyu asked worriedly.
Before Xu Tian could answer, Nie Jingjing snorted disdainfully.
"Upload it, would I be afraid of her?"
"There are enough rumors about me acting like a big shot, one more doesn't matter."
"Since I debuted, I haven't relied on reputation and fans to get resources!"
"As long as Mr. Xu stands firmly on my side, everything else doesn't matter!"
Xu Tian: ……
It seems he was overthinking. With Nie Jingjing's personality of being able to open a dye shop if given a little color, one really couldn't be too gentle with her.
However, Nie Jingjing had a clear understanding of her own positioning, which was much better than those artists who were clearly resource-based but thought they were relying on their own strength.
"Alright, don't make any statements about this matter, and don't worry about it, I'll handle it," Xu Tian waved his hand, signaling them to stay calm.
Murong Xue, who had been silent, also breathed a sigh of relief.
Nie Jingjing being caught on video bullying Song Jiamo was also because she wanted to seek justice for her. Although she didn't like Nie Jingjing much, if the other party was really scolded by netizens because of her, she would also feel bad in her heart.
However, just as she breathed a sigh of relief, Xu Tian's somewhat severe gaze swept over.
"Xiao Xue, I heard that your rehearsals these past few days haven't been in state, and you made Producer Han angry today. Where did the problem go wrong?" ===== CHAPTER 312 =====
