Zhang Yun had already heard the news that Xiong Xiaoman had been put on ice, and Li Meng, as a senior agent who had been working in the entertainment industry for more than ten years, had never expected that one evening, he would feel unprecedented depression and complex emotions in his heart.

At this moment, Xiong Xiaoman's experience seemed to have found an outlet for some emotions that had been pent up in Li Meng's heart for a long time, and she felt a little relieved.

Li Meng's lips curled up into a faint smile, but then it froze, replaced by a solemn expression. Her eyes inadvertently passed by Jiang Yubo, and her heart couldn't help but ripple:

Is Ye Wanqing's extraordinary care for Jiang Yubo a bit excessive?

This thought flashed through Li Meng's mind like lightning, and she couldn't help but raise her voice:

"Jiang Yubo."

Her brows were furrowed, and her tone was filled with indescribable complex emotions.

Jiang Yubo, who was immersed in his own world, was brought back to reality by this sudden call. He slowly opened his slightly blurred eyes and looked at Li Meng with an almost lazy yet sharp look.

"What's wrong, Sister Li?"

"Regarding Xiong Xiaoman's matter, the company has already issued a ban."

Li Meng's words were calm and direct, but like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples.

Jiang Yubo's originally casually posed body involuntarily straightened up after hearing these words. He left his comfortable chair and faced Li Meng with a more focused attitude:

"Is this Mr. Ye's decision?"

There was a hint of subtle surprise between his brows. Obviously, this decision was beyond his expectations.

Li Meng nodded slightly, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes:

"Who else could it be besides her? Didn't I remind you the night before last that Wanqing put a lot of thought into helping you?"

At this point, she almost blurted out, "I really don't understand why she treats you like this..."

But in the end, she swallowed it back rationally. After all, this was not a secret that she could easily pry into.

Hearing this, Jiang Yubo frowned slightly and his eyes fell on the phone in his hand again, as if looking for some answers between the lines.

He didn't take Li Meng's hint the night before seriously, but at this moment, those words were circling in his mind.

If Ye Wanqing really had the ability to easily deal with Xiong Xiaoman, then the incident the day before might not have made her so furious.

However, the news that Li Meng brought at this moment - Xiong Xiaoman had been completely banned by the company, was like a blockbuster bomb, making Jiang Yubo feel mixed emotions.

It is true that Xiong Xiaoman's sharp personality had already paved a thorny road for her, but Ye Wanqing took them away from the party calmly the night before, and in the blink of an eye, Xiong Xiaoman ended up like this. If it were not for Ye Wanqing's secret planning, the coincidence would be hard to believe.

Jiang Yubo gently rotated the phone in his hand, looked away from the screen, and looked at Li Meng, with a barely perceptible heaviness in his voice:

"Sister Li, I'm going to the bathroom. We can talk later."

Li Meng was discussing this series of events with Qin Chu and didn't notice Jiang Yubo's abnormality. He just waved his hand casually.

"Go ahead and pay attention to the time."

Jiang Yubo held his cell phone and walked into the empty lounge. After gently closing the door, he quickly dialed Xu Xiuwei's number.

Xu Xiuwei had been so idle lately that he was practically going moldy. Seeing Jiang Yubo's call, he instantly jumped up from the sofa, his tone filled with a hint of surprise:

"Why, have you finally decided to take action?"

Jiang Yubo ignored his joke and leaned back in his chair, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, his tone filled with unquestionable firmness:

"Help me find out something."

"what's up?"

Xu Xiuwei's curiosity was completely aroused, and he didn't care even if Jiang Yubo didn't give a direct answer.

"Xiong Xiaoman was banned by the company's top management. I want to know if there was some kind of deal between Ye Wanqing and Qin Songbai that led to Qin Songbai's move."

Xu Xiuwei on the other end of the phone couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, with a hint of joking in his tone: "Ha, what else could it be, Ye Wanqing is so beautiful."

Jiang Yubo sneered, with a hint of warning in his tone: "Xu Xiuwei."

Xu Xiuwei touched his nose and quickly changed his tone: "I was just joking, don't mind! Okay, I'll send someone to find out the news."

Just as Xu Xiuwei was about to hang up the phone, he suddenly thought of something, and his tone was filled with doubt:

"But then again, why did Ye Wanqing suddenly decide to go after Xiong Xiaoman? Wait, hasn't Xiong Xiaoman been trying to trip you up behind your back lately? Could it be that Ye Wanqing is doing this for you?"

When Xu Xiuwei said this, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, his tone filled with disbelief:

"Those gossips can't be true, right? Are you really being 'taken care of' by Ye Wanqing?"

Jiang Yubo turned a deaf ear to his teasing and directly pressed the hang-up button, ending this nonsensical conversation.

However, Jiang Yubo was shocked that Ye Wanqing would ban Xiong Xiaoman because of a small incident at the party.

The news that Xiong Xiaoman was put on ice hardly caused any waves outside the hustle and bustle of the entertainment industry.

Her social media accounts seemed to be wiped out overnight, and not even a word of farewell was left on Weibo. She was quietly kicked off the stage by the company.

Zhang Yun also chose to remain silent about this and no longer paid any attention to Xiong Xiaoman. During that time, Xiong Xiaoman curled up alone in the corner of the apartment, without any announcements or script invitations, as if she had been completely forgotten by the world.

Although the company gave her a certain amount of compensation, that meager amount of five million was something she could easily earn back by filming a few more movies.

However, monetary compensation could not fill the void in her heart. Xiong Xiaoman knew very well that she had been completely abandoned on this star-studded road.

After a few days of confusion, Xiong Xiaoman finally plucked up the courage and set out on the journey to Ye Wanqing's residence.

It was a small villa surrounded by colorful flowers. Looking from the outside, every flower in the garden was carefully cared for, blooming with colorful vitality, which was beautiful beyond words.

Xiong Xiaoman's thoughts couldn't help but drift back to that fateful night. The moment she stepped into the box, her eyes were immediately attracted by Ye Wanqing sitting at the round table.

Even in the entertainment industry, where there are so many beautiful women, she has never seen such a stunning woman.

She had to admit that if Ye Wanqing was willing to enter the entertainment industry, her peerless beauty alone would be enough to captivate everyone and gain the fanatical pursuit of countless fans.

Just as Xiong Xiaoman was immersed in her own thoughts, the sound of a door opening interrupted her reverie.

She suddenly came to her senses and looked up, only to see Ye Wanqing wearing an elegant white halter dress. She looked like a fairy from a painting, walking out of the villa step by step, exuding a charm that could not be ignored with every step.

The white suspender dress fits Ye Wanqing's figure tightly, outlining her graceful posture perfectly. Every step she takes is like painting a flowing painting, showing her elegance and charm.

Xiong Xiaoman stared at Ye Wanqing approaching her step by step. The inferiority complex in her heart surged like a tide, but she suppressed it in an instant.

Ye Wanqing stopped in front of the gate and glanced at Xiong Xiaoman through the iron railings with her calm eyes.

"Is that Miss Bear?"

She did not reach out to open the door, her expression calm and distant, as if Xiong Xiaoman in front of her was just an insignificant passerby.

Outside the door, Xiong Xiaoman's face was covered in sweat. She no longer had the arrogance she had that night, and her voice was filled with pleading.

"Miss Ye, can we find a place to talk?"

Ye Wanqing's lips curled up into a faint smile, and her tone was unquestionable and calm:

"Ms. Xiong, it seems that there aren't many topics worth discussing in depth between us."

"No, Miss Ye, I...I really know I was wrong. Could you...could you please show some mercy and give me another chance?"

There was a hint of trembling in Xiong Xiaoman's voice, and she was obviously confused.

"Miss Xiong, you're too polite. You're a well-known figure in the industry, and your schedule is very busy. Being late for an hour or so occasionally isn't a big deal."

Ye Wanqing's words were calm and polite, with an elusive smile always on her face. If Xiong Xiaoman had not personally experienced the cruelty of being banned, she would probably have thought that this was just a casual compliment from Ye Wanqing.

Xiong Xiaoman has been working in the entertainment industry for several years and has seen all kinds of people and things. Although she has a domineering personality, she is also a person who is very good at observing people's words and expressions. Otherwise, she would not have been able to spend these years safely in the complex and ever-changing entertainment industry.

However, the Ye Wanqing before her made her feel more unfamiliar and difficult than ever before. This was an opponent she had never encountered before, a woman who appeared gentle and gentle, but in reality was unfathomable.

She seemed to hold an aloof attitude towards everything in the world, but once someone touched her bottom line, Ye Wanqing would show terrifying determination and ruthlessness.

Ye Wanqing blinked lightly, her tone filled with unquestionable determination: "I still have some personal matters to deal with, Miss Xiong, please go back."

Xiong Xiaoman became anxious when she heard this. She held on to the iron railing tightly, almost begging:

"Ms. Ye! Please open the door and let's sit down and talk! As long as you ask, I'm willing to agree to any conditions!

I only ask you to tell Mr. Qin that what happened between us was just a misunderstanding, and ask him to have mercy on me and lift the ban on me!"

Ye Wanqing listened to her plea quietly before slowly opening her lips, her voice filled with an indifference that brooked no rebuttal:

"I never invite uninvited guests into my private territory. Besides, Ms. Xiong, what happened between us was never a misunderstanding, and I have nothing to discuss with you."

Before she finished speaking, Ye Wanqing turned around gracefully and walked back to the villa step by step.

Xiong Xiaoman stood alone outside the door, looking particularly helpless and desperate in the sunlight. She shouted Ye Wanqing's name unwillingly.

But the only response she got was the faint echo from the villa and Ye Wanqing's resolute back. In a blink of an eye, Ye Wanqing disappeared on the winding path of the garden, leaving behind only a scene of blooming flowers and her endless despair and unwillingness.
