Chapter 1362: Chapter 1357: The Miserable Director Hong
Qin Hao had no particular fondness or dislike for Xu Qianya, his expression indifferent, and said, "I don’t know."
"So aloof! So handsome!"
Xu Qianya clasped her cheeks with both hands, screaming with infatuation.
This scene made many staff members lament internally.
Damn, is this what you call aloof and handsome?
The guy just doesn’t want to pay attention to you!
Yet, Xu Qianya remained oblivious, chattering away excitedly.
After talking for a while, she inadvertently noticed Zhang Lianyi beside her and the lunchbox in her hand, suddenly realizing something.
So the idol came to deliver food to her?
From Beijing to Heng Electric, just to deliver food?
Oh my god!
Xu Qianya was completely moved by Qin Hao’s romantic gesture, looking at Zhang Lianyi with jealousy.
Zhang Lianyi, somewhat frightened, hid behind Qin Hao, wondering: Why has this sister suddenly become so scary?
Qin Hao was utterly speechless.
He didn’t know that someone who once looked down on him would suddenly become a fangirl.
Okay, Qin Hao has always been soft-hearted towards women, especially goddess-level beauties.
Qin Hao decided to forgive Xu Qianya’s previous actions.
"Ahem!" Li Yuan was not as brainless as Xu Qianya; during this time, he quietly contemplated many matters.
After calming Xu Qianya with a cough, Li Yuan turned angrily towards Director Hong and shouted, "Director Hong! What the hell is going on? Come here and explain yourself!"
Thud!
Director Hong fell onto the ground in terror, unable to get up!
"Why are you still standing there? Get over here!"
Li Yuan’s face was flushed, his neck thick with rage.
His demeanor made the onlookers tremble.
Director Li, who is usually amiable, erupted like Thunderbolt?
Is that Qin Hao really worth it?
"Sorry... Director Li..."
At this critical moment, Director Hong chose to admit defeat. He crawled up to Director Li, a face full of pleading: "Director Li..."
"Shut up!"
Director Li shouted angrily, "Hong Building! In the past, when you repeatedly failed at the gate of the Film Academy, who gave you the chance to get in and study further?"
"It was Director Li..." said Director Hong, terrified.
"In the past, when you couldn’t get sponsors for your first film, who specially brought sponsorship to you?"
"It was Director Li..."
"Well then, who cast the final vote for your Hundred Flowers Award? Who wrote the script for your ’Elephant King’?"
"It was... Director Li..."
Upon hearing this, Director Li said, raising his voice five levels higher, "And yet you’re repaying kindness with betrayal!"
Director Li’s saliva sprayed onto Director Hong’s face, chilling it. He thought miserably: How did I suddenly become a traitor!
Director Li seemed to read his mind, angrily saying: "This young friend Qin is my benefactor, and you dare to bully him! Do you not wish to stay in this industry anymore?"
"Director Li, please calm down! I was wrong!"
Hearing this sentence, Director Hong was petrified, hurriedly kowtowing to plead guilty, his face filled with pain and regret.
In terms of influence in the industry, Director Li was five times greater than himself.
Such a big shot was completely beyond his provocation, so he had no choice but to cower.
"Stop kowtowing to me!" Director Li said with disgust, "Apologize to my benefactor until he forgives you!"
"Yes, yes!"
Director Hong responded fearfully, repeatedly.
Immediately, he crawled before Qin Hao without hesitation, kneeling and kowtowing, crying out: "Lord Qin! Please... please forgive me this time! I truly didn’t know your identity! Given another chance, I would never offend you like this!"
"Heh." Qin Hao showed a cold smile. "Who called me a little punk just now?"
"It was me! It was me, wretched for not opening my eyes!"
Director Hong shouted, crying bitterly: "It’s all my fault, for being wretched and blind, for being a punk! Please forgive me!"
"Hmm, you seem quite self-aware." Qin Hao nodded slightly. "Then, who wanted to exploit my dear Ripples?"
"It was me! I’m wretched, I’m an eunuch! I swear I’ll never do it again!"
Director Hong pleaded while kowtowing, using such force that his forehead broke, and blood covered his face.
The others, seeing this scene, sucked in cold air.
Director Hong was truly desperate for his future.
"Oh, then, who wanted to blacklist my dear Ripples?"
"It was a dog! A dog so lowly it swears it will never do such a thing again, and will only support Zhang Lianyi!"
Director Hong quickly promised vigorously.
Qin Hao said nothing more, only looked at Zhang Lianyi: "Sister, do you believe the dog’s words?"
Zhang Lianyi was somewhat bewildered, thinking that since Director Hong was sincerely admitting his mistake, he wouldn’t be lying, right?
So she nodded.
"Then do you forgive him?" Qin Hao asked again.
"Uh..."
Zhang Lianyi understood that Qin Hao was giving her the power over Director Hong’s fate, feeling deeply moved.
"Auntie! Please! Please forgive me!"
Director Hong, like a mad dog, suddenly pounced before Zhang Lianyi, kneeling and apologizing miserably.
Spooked by his words, Zhang Lianyi couldn’t help but nod and say, "Alright, please get up, I forgive you!"
"Thank you, auntie! Thank you, auntie!"
Director Hong raised his head excitedly, mixed with blood and tears.
Thud!
Receiving the satisfactory result, he fell to the ground weakly, looking at the ceiling with a face of relief.
This sorrowful scene left many hushed in fear.
Director Hong has hit a brick wall today, truly miserable!
"I survived! I survived!"
Director Hong kept repeating this phrase in his heart.
Though he lost face, he still survived safely without any punishment.
However, just then, Li Yuan, who had been silent all along, spoke coldly, "Hong Building, from now on, don’t even dream about making films. This industry does not welcome you!"
Am I being blacklisted?
Director Hong was stunned for a full ten seconds and then cried out miserably: "Director Li! Why! I’ve clearly apologized and obtained forgiveness!"
"Mr. Qin forgave you, but I have not."
Li Yuan’s face was full of disgust: "You know I can’t tolerate filth in my eyes. Previously, these dirty deeds were only hearsay without concrete evidence. Now, you’ve shown your true colors, making me heartbroken and disgusted!"
"Director Li! Please! I beg you!"
Director Hong clutched Li Yuan’s pants, tearfully pleading.
"Get lost! Don’t clutter my sight!"
Li Yuan kicks Director Hong to the ground: "This film is no longer yours to make; I’ll take over personally; now, leave!"
"No! I don’t..."
Director Hong still struggled, but Li Yuan directly called for security.
The security guards stood up angrily glaring at Director Hong, then, as if taking out their stress, lifted and carried him away.
