Chapter 595: I

Xu Tian saw Zhang Zhipian's fawning appearance, and coupled with the "Manager Yan" he mentioned, he understood what was going on.

It wasn't that there were no extra lounges, but that Zhang Zhipian had been reminded by someone to deliberately "mess with" them.

Even though Murong Xue and Nie Jingjing were very popular, Flourishing Stars Media was, after all, a small company that had just been established. Zhang Zhipian naturally wasn't afraid of offending them. Plus, with the pressure from Yan Hongyu's side, he was happy to do a favor and boost Song Jiamao while stepping on them into the dirt.

Song Jiamao had just heard Zhang Zhipian say there were no extra lounges and told Nie Jingjing and the others to go to the public dressing room to do their makeup. At this moment, being specially cared for, she couldn't help but show a triumphant and provocative expression toward Nie Jingjing.

Nie Jingjing, who had lost her backer, was like a tiger without claws. Still wanting to go against her? She really didn't know her own strength!

"Then many thanks to Zhang Zhipian!" Song Jiamao smiled sweetly and apologized to Zhang Zhipian, then walked past Nie Jingjing with her head held high and walked toward the lounge in the back.

"These snobs! Do they really think I'm easy to bully?" Nie Jingjing couldn't tell that Zhang Zhipian was deliberately suppressing her. As soon as Song Jiamao and the others left, she couldn't help but start cursing. "No, this can't just end like this! The number of guests invited each time is planned; why is it that when it comes to us, there's no lounge? I'm going to go reason with that damn producer right now. He's got some nerve!"

"Nie Jingjing!" Xu Tian blocked her path and said in a deep voice, "Stop making a scene!"

"Yeah, Sister Jingjing, we still need this show for promotion. It won't do us any good to fall out with them now." Qin Yuqing also advised from the side.

"Do you think I want to make a scene with them?" Nie Jingjing felt very aggrieved. "But aren't they bullying people too much? Murong Xue and I are the main guests, and our popularity is higher than that old green tea Song Jiamao. Don't we even deserve a lounge?"

She didn't want to act like a diva either. If there really were no empty lounges, that would be one thing, but now it was clear that the other party was deliberately targeting them. She couldn't swallow this breath no matter what.

If the news that she and the temporary workers were squeezing into a public dressing room was reported, the outside public opinion would definitely mock her fiercely.

And mockery was a small matter; if she was labeled as "past her prime," it might even affect the heat of "All People's Singer-Songwriter" and her own new album.

"I naturally won't really let you squeeze into a public dressing room." Xu Tian said in a deep voice.

The conditions over there were terrible. Even if Nie Jingjing and Murong Xue went, they would only be treated perfunctorily, and they might even be given a terrible, shocking look. After the show aired, they would be mocked by the entire internet again.

"Then if we don't go to the public dressing room, how are we going to do our makeup and styling?" Murong Xue asked anxiously. "Xu Ge, the recording is about to start."

"These dog-eyed things, do they really think that just because I've fallen out with my family, they can manipulate me at will!" Nie Jingjing was so angry that she was losing her mind. "If it really comes to it, I'll just go find some rich second-generation heir to marry!"

Xu Tian & Murong Xue:???

"Nie Jingjing, have you been angered into confusion?" Xu Tian asked in surprise.

To think that it had angered the usually independent Nie Jingjing to the point of needing to find a man as a backer; it was clear she was out of her mind.

"Yeah, marriage is no child's play." Murong Xue also rarely advised with a serious expression. "You can't pin all your hopes on a man just to develop in the entertainment industry."

"What man? When did I pin my hopes on a man?" Nie Jingjing frowned and looked at Xu Tian and Murong Xue inexplicably. "No... what kind of messy things are you all imagining?"

Murong Xue was speechless: "You're the one who said it. Didn't you want to find a rich second-generation heir to marry, and then have him invest in you and be your backer?"

"How is that possible? What's the difference between that and finding someone to keep you?" Nie Jingjing rolled her eyes. "Is getting a marriage certificate considered legal keeping?"

Murong Xue:...

Xu Tian rubbed his brow with a headache: "Nie Jingjing, say a little less."

If these few sentences were recorded by paparazzi and posted online, it would definitely be another bloody storm.

"Mr. Xu, you didn't misunderstand too, did you?" Nie Jingjing was very hurt. "Do you think I'm that kind of woman who relies on men to get ahead?"

"Why do I feel... Sister Jingjing has a talent for being a comedian..." Qin Yuqing whispered to Murong Xue on the side. "How about I get her a couple of comedy roles? Anyway, it's popular for singers to cross over now."

Murong Xue's mouth twitched: "I think that's possible..."

"Mr. Xu, it's really not what you think!" Nie Jingjing saw Xu Tian not speaking and was a bit anxious. "Although I've broken with my family now, I still have 15% of the shares of the Nie Group in my hands."

"This was left to me by my mother before she passed away. The condition is that I can only freely dispose of it after I get married. Before that, I can only receive year-end dividends."

Nie Jingjing spread her hands helplessly: "My mother really couldn't let go. Her own marriage wasn't happy; she should know that most men nowadays are unreliable, and the reliable ones are already taken. Why was she so obsessed with making me get married?"

She was actually a standard hedonist. If she was happy dating, she dated; if she wasn't, she broke up. She would never be heartbroken or suicidal over any man.

If this one didn't work, there was the next one. Anyway, she had money and looks, and she didn't worry about not finding a boyfriend.

After getting married, she would be tied down and restricted.

Moreover, if she dated a man for more than a month, she would feel bored. Someone she originally found pleasing to the eye would also become uninteresting.

But marriage is different from dating; it's about two people spending a lifetime together.

Letting her step into the grave of marriage at a young age would be better than killing her directly.

"Marriage is a major life event; it's indeed better to consider it clearly." Xu Tian knew he had misunderstood, but still said seriously, "And you're an artist now. Marriage also has a great impact on your future career development. You can't make a hasty decision just because of the shares."

"I know, I was just complaining." Nie Jingjing sighed. "But those snobs, isn't it just because I don't have a say in the Nie family now that they target us everywhere?"

"If I get those shares, maybe our situation will be better."

"But you can't just find someone to marry, right?" Murong Xue naturally didn't approve of this kind of marriage with a purpose. "Believe in Xu Ge; there will definitely be other solutions."

"It's not like I'm just finding anyone..." Nie Jingjing rubbed her cheeks, and a look of infatuation suddenly appeared in her eyes. "If the object is my Hoodie Male God, I'm willing to go get the marriage certificate with him overnight!"
