Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City-Chapter 659 - 669: Slapping Face (37 more updates!)

Everyone seemed to be in surprising agreement, thinking Lu Xue, aren't you going a bit too far?

Just as Yu Rou's manager thought, yes, she is a newcomer from another field, but don't forget, within a short half a year in the music industry, she's practically already a queen, of course, a future queen.

But her current influence is definitely not less than those first-line female stars, so at the very least, some respect is deserved, right?

So what if she's younger than you? The entertainment industry, like the martial arts world of the past, doesn't discriminate by age; skill and ability come first.

So even though Yu Rou is new to the scene, you should at least show her some respect, if not awe, at least some basic courtesy.

"Yu Rou, remember, you are representing the company, you cannot be so submissive, otherwise, it'll reflect poorly on the company," her manager said in a hushed tone. Yu Rou looked at her manager, the iron-blooded agent known as Sister Li, and nodded.

"I don't care, all of you saw it with your own eyes, clearly it's her who is lacking, she disrupted the shooting schedule, who am I? I'm an experienced actor, how could I make such a rookie mistake?"

Lu Xue's face was full of arrogance. In her opinion, no matter who you are, once you enter the film and TV industry, I am your senior, and you should either curl up like a dragon or lie down like a tiger before me.

Standing opposite her, Yu Rou took a deep breath and smiled slightly, "Yes, I am a newcomer, so surely I have inadequacies, and I will certainly strive to improve."

"But what I want to say is, I am not careless as you've stated. On the contrary, with Director Du being such a strict director, how could I dare not to work hard?"

Yu Rou said with a light chuckle, and even Director Du couldn't help but smile; then Yu Rou's expression changed, "On the contrary, Lu Xue, you were absolutely out of sorts today because I feel you weren't putting your heart into it!"

"Yes, you are my senior, but speaking of today's performance, you don't have the right to critique me, and even less to shout at me!"

Yu Rou shook her head while Lu Xue, hearing this, suddenly became stunned and, grinding her teeth in anger, stepped forward and slapped Yu Rou's face hard.

"What are you doing, Lu Xue! Are you crazy! Why did you hit someone!"

Sister Li immediately stood in front of Yu Rou, shouting angrily with fiery eyes. After all, Yu Rou was now their agency's treasure.

Even the big boss treated her with kindness, so what gave you, Lu Xue, the right to lay a hand on her!

Director Du was also shocked, thinking, this woman has gone mad, "Lu Xue! What are you doing? Apologize to Yu Rou, quick!"

Lu Xue stamped her foot in fury and turned to leave, but not before pointing viciously at Yu Rou and threatening, "Yu Rou, just you wait, it's not over between us, Missy!"

After Lu Xue left, Yu Rou maintained her calm demeanor, holding her face. Of course, her heart was filled with rage, having been hit for no reason.

But when she was a struggling newcomer in the north, had she not suffered disdain and slaps too? So, this slap was not enough to provoke Yu Rou into an angry outburst that would destroy her image.

Many staff members nodded, admiring Yu Rou's composure; had it been them who were slapped, who knows if they could have reacted like Yu Rou did.

Director Du hurried over to Yu Rou, looking apologetic: "Yu Rou, I am so sorry, I watched that scene just now, and indeed, it was her fault."

"How about this, you go and rest for a bit, don't rush it. If necessary, take a break back inland, we can shoot other scenes in the meantime, what do you say?"

Director Du advised, hinting at the complexity of the situation. After all, Lu Xue is now connected with the young master of the Guo Family, and offending Lu Xue could lead to difficulties in Xiangjiang at the very least.

Therefore, for safety's sake, Director Du still urged Yu Rou to be cautious, even though he was aware that her background was not to be underestimated. But still, there was a limit to his influence, with a distance between the mainland and Xiangjiang.

Yu Rou smiled slightly, "Director Du, there's no need, I think everything should be fine, this is a society governed by law after all."

In the past six months, Yu Rou, who had experienced a lot, also understood what Director Du meant, and she smiled faintly without much fear in her heart.

The production had halted, and everyone had gone to rest early today. Director Du also needed to have a serious talk with Lu Xue since both the lead actress and supporting actress were crucial. They couldn't stop the performance over this incident, could they?

A company car, temporarily borrowed from the Xiangjiang division, slowly pulled up to the curb, and Yu Rou, along with her agent and two bodyguards, headed toward the side of the road.

Suddenly, Yu Rou's eyes lit up and she dashed toward a figure in the distance. It was Ye Ling strolling leisurely, who broke into a smile when he saw Yu Rou running toward him.

"Tsk tsk, I'm finding you're everywhere these days, girl. Looks like you've really made it big."

"Hey, what happened to your face? Did someone hit you? Is it for a role, or what?"

Ye Ling suddenly noticed the clear fingerprint on Yu Rou's face, still red and not yet faded. Yu Rou smiled awkwardly, "It's nothing."

As her agent, Sister Li hurried over and was overjoyed to see Ye Ling. She was well aware of this young master's influence. Yu Rou's rise to fame was definitely related to him.

"Young Master Ye, what are you doing here? Are you here to have fun?"

Sister Li was incredibly enthusiastic, not showing a trace of her stern military wife demeanor. It made sense, given this young master even made her boss tread lightly, let alone herself.

"Yeah, just hanging out with a couple of friends. What's up with Yu Rou's face?"

Ye Ling frowned, and Sister Li took a deep breath before she explained what had happened earlier, especially emphasizing Lu Xue's background and the young master of the Guo Family from Xiangjiang.

Ye Ling's face gradually darkened, and Yu Rou hurriedly gripped his arm, "Don't worry, Brother Ye, it's just another common issue!"

"I'm not the same person I was before, you have to believe that I have the ability to handle this, right?"

Yu Rou smiled lightly, and Ye Ling sighed, then patted her hair, "Alright then, but if anything goes wrong, call me anytime."

"Even in Xiangjiang, we can't just let people bully us. How about this, go back to the hotel and change clothes, and let's go out for a meal and chat tonight."

Ye Ling said with a smile, and Yu Rou nodded, thrilled beyond measure. Sister Li, too, was excited. With Ye Ling looking out for them, it didn't matter if they were in Xiangjiang.

Hadn't they heard the old saying, "even a fierce dragon doesn't cross the river"? Ye Ling could surely live up to that saying.

Yu Rou and Sister Li said goodbye to Ye Ling and then headed for the car sent by the company. But no sooner had they sat down than an out-of-control bus slammed hard into the rear of the car.

Bang!

A loud noise erupted, and Ye Ling's face instantly changed. He took a step forward and rushed frantically toward the car.
