Because she had scraped her arm, tiny spots of blood were seeping through the fabric.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... what exactly do I have that makes you so envious, jealous, and hateful?\" He Lele asked in a low voice, her gaze still fixed on the torn sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ha... I envy you? I'm jealous of you? You think too highly of yourself. What? You can't even walk properly and you blame others—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up.\" He Lele gave a low shout, staring at Xiao Sha without a hint of fear. \"I am not a person in this circle. Your power and status have no deterrent effect on me. I don't rely on you for a living, and you don't need to put on an act for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Lele's sudden outburst made Ruan Lin and Qin Zhixiu stop in their tracks. Ruan Lin looked at her with a mix of surprise and delight, while Qin Zhixiu curved his lips into a smile that was intoxicating and mesmerizing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire film crew, seeing Ruan Lin's little assistant openly talk back to Xiao Sha, was both dumbfounded and expectant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You, you...\" Xiao Sha hadn't expected He Lele to dare to talk back to her. A flash of hatred and anger erupted in her beautiful, glamorous eyes. \"Do you think that just because you don't work in this circle, I can't do anything to you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then why do you want to 'do something' to me? You are prettier than me, richer than me, and more famous than me. I have never offended you; why are you targeting me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I...\" Xiao Sha glanced uncomfortably at Ruan Lin and Qin Zhixiu. Seeing that the two men weren't even looking at her, but were only smiling as they watched He Lele, all her pride turned into fury. She glared at He Lele. \"I just don't like the look of you, so what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...You don't like the look of me, so you ordered your assistant to hit me? You don't like the look of me, so you deliberately tripped me? You don't like the look of me, so you're planning to continue making things difficult for me? Then what if someone else doesn't like the look of you? Can they also hit you and bully you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't like the look of me? Ha...\" Xiao Sha glanced at He Lele with the disdain one might show a lunatic. \"Do you think I'm some country girl who just came from the village like you? I am the youngest film queen of this generation. Do you know how many fans I have? Do you know how many fan clubs I have around the world? You don't like the look of me? Unless someone is blind!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Then do you dare to shout one thing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shout what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those who like the look of you, please raise your hand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\" Xiao Sha scoffed. \"Do you think I would do something so boring?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course you wouldn't, because you don't dare! Do you want to make a bet? If even half a person in this entire crew likes you, I will kneel down and apologize to you right now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When He Lele said this, the crowd was in an uproar. Ruan Lin couldn't help but frown; although the cast and crew had been pushed to their limits by Xiao Sha, but—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ha! Fine! Fine!\" Xiao Sha was so angry she laughed. \"You said it yourself!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Sha took two steps back and looked around at everyone with arrogance and confidence. \"Excuse me, sorry to bother—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Regret it?\" Xiao Sha's eyes were full of mockery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What if you lose?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I would lose? If I lose, I'll lick your shoes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That won't be necessary,\" He Lele said, as if she had the victory in the bag. \"If you lose, I only hope you bring out the acting skills of a film queen and the professional ethics an actor should have, work properly, and stop deliberately adding trouble for everyone!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For her, she liked seeing the people around her happy every day, but in this crew, you couldn't find a few people smiling all day long!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Sha's beautiful, delicate face turned from pale to red. She gritted her teeth in hatred. She knew she had been a bit excessive these past two days, but she was in a bad mood! Of course she would lose her temper! Did it mean that just because she was in a bad mood, others shouldn't coddle her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staring at He Lele, Xiao Sha sneered, \"Fine! Deal!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking to the center of the room, Xiao Sha clapped her hands and smiled sweetly. Her ability to change her face was truly at a film queen level that left He Lele far behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone has worked hard these past few days! I'm hosting tonight to treat everyone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone looked at each other, dodging Xiao Sha's gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the crowd's reaction, Xiao Sha's smile faltered, but she tried to laugh pleasantly, as if joking. \"A little sister said that everyone doesn't like Xiao Sha, which made Xiao Sha feel a bit hurt. So, can friends who like Xiao Sha please raise a hand so Xiao Sha can thank you?\" Xiao Sha said in a sweet, coquettish voice, completely contrary to her arrogant and overbearing demeanor of the past two days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff in the studio were busy touching their noses or looking at their shoes; a few supporting actors simply sat in their chairs and pretended to be asleep. Even the director's team, the moment they saw Xiao Sha looking at them, quickly leaned their heads together and pretended to discuss something, making Xiao Sha so angry her eyes were practically spitting fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two minutes passed, and not a single person raised their hand!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\" Xiao Sha was going crazy. Looking at the calm and composed He Lele, she nearly shattered her teeth from gritting them so hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could this be! She was a film queen! She was the hottest and most popular new-generation actress of the moment! How could no one like her! She knew it! They were jealous of her! Jealous of her beauty, her talent, her popularity, and they had colluded with this little assistant to embarrass her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glared at every single cast and crew member; she would remember them. She would make sure not a single one of them could survive in this circle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jingjing, Xiaofang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as they heard Xiao Sha call the names of her two assistants, almost everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, looking at He Lele with pity—this bold and cute girl was still too impulsive. How could she possibly win that kind of bet? Even if they all stayed true to their hearts and didn't raise their hands, Xiao Sha's assistants couldn't *not* raise theirs!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jingjing looked at He Lele with some apology and slowly raised her hand along with her companion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The members of the director's team looked at each other and also stood up and walked toward He Lele. This girl... made people want to protect her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Sha suppressed her anger and glared at He Lele. Given the current situation, even if she won, she had lost all face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Lele looked at Xiao Sha's two assistants and, without a care, bent down to pick up the towel on the ground, looking as if she wanted to act as though nothing had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>",1302,"2026-06-14T03:55:58.348Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","d14b076e7184524081af791463fdf7c37c39f8ada23917773f083d4d7f767c84","the-ultimate-men-s-apartment-chapter-112","the-ultimate-men-s-apartment-chapter-110",301,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-ultimate-men-s-apartment-cover.jpg"]
