Because Xu Zishan didn't have a private dressing room, Shen Li was worried about leaving her alone, so she took her back to her own dressing room.

In the lounge, Ah Pan and the bodyguards the company had assigned to her were there. Perhaps because she was in a safe environment, Xu Zishan's tense nerves relaxed instantly, and the humiliation and grievances in her heart were magnified at the same time, so she started to cry uncontrollably.

Shen Li, however, was surprisingly strong. Although Zhang Heng had teased her and even touched her face, she did not cry. Instead, she comforted Xu Zishan, saying, "It's alright, don't cry."

Kate Tsui cried uncontrollably, pulling out her phone to call her father between sobs: "Dad, Dad, I...I was bullied, sob sob..."

Hearing her father's voice made her break down completely, and she burst into tears.

Helpless, Shen Li could only silently keep handing her tissues.

Xiaoyun then whispered the story to Apan, who angrily exclaimed, "How could something like this happen on a film set? In broad daylight! That's incredibly arrogant!"

Xiaoyun had never encountered anything like this before, and it was quite an eye-opener: "You didn't see it just now, that person was like a mad dog, he even dared to curse at the director!"

Apan hesitated for a moment, then pulled Xiaoyun aside and whispered, "Should we tell Ali's sister? Didn't she ask us to tell her if Ali gets into trouble?"

Xiaoyun hesitated before asking, "Is it necessary? I've already told Sister Kuan, she should be able to handle it, right?"

"Let's tell them. They're such good sisters, and Ali has been wronged. A few words of comfort from her older sister will definitely be more effective than ours."

Xiaoyun thought about it and agreed with what Apan said. The last time Sister Ali visited the set, she gave them expensive "premium sea cucumbers" as gifts. She had also secretly told them that if Ali encountered any trouble, they should notify her immediately. She even left their WeChat contacts.

Isn't today's incident a huge problem?

At that time, Shen Ci was hosting a banquet at a high-end restaurant in Longcheng, inviting Yan Wenxi and Boss Yang to dinner, as well as several investment banking tycoons he had met at the last banquet.

To succeed in the investment banking industry in Longcheng, she needed to solidify her network of contacts.

The others originally wanted to wait and see what was going on, because they were really unsure about Brother Xizi and Boss Yan's attitude towards this Miss Shen. Last time, things seemed quite harmonious on the surface, but in some people's eyes, it was still ambiguous.

Unexpectedly, both Brother Xi and Boss Yang gave Miss Shen face and gladly accepted the invitation, which made the others understand.

Miss Shen's offer of "32,000" certainly earned her high regard from the two bigwigs.

The atmosphere in the private room was lively. Shen Ci raised his glass and said, "Uncle Yang, Brother Xizi, I'll pay back all the drinks I owed last time because I wasn't feeling well. So you won't think I'm being childish and making excuses to avoid drinking. I'll punish myself with three drinks first!"

"Ouch... Ouch..."

Before Boss Yang could even speak, Shen Ci had already tilted his head back and downed the wine in his glass.

Then he had another cup and downed it without saying a word.

Then came the third cup.

Although Mr. Yang said not to drink so much, he was secretly pleased. This proved that his intuition was correct; Shen Ci was not a coward, and he had not been just bluffing last time.

"Miss Shen has a huge capacity for alcohol!"

"I really can't believe it, your complexion doesn't even change after drinking so much!"

"I think she can drink more than most of us. Where is Miss Shen from?"

Shen Ci smiled and replied, "I'm from Shenzhen and Hong Kong."

"oh……"

Everyone nodded meaningfully.

People from Shenzhen and Hong Kong, huh? No wonder. The wealthy people there are just as good as those in Longcheng. The fact that Miss Shen isn't from Longcheng makes her identity even more mysterious.

"Ah Ci, take it easy. This is just the beginning. Don't get drunk too soon, or it'll look like we're bullying a child," Boss Yang said to Shen Ci.

Yan Wenxi glanced at Boss Yang and said, "That's rare. This is the first time I've seen Brother Yang advise someone to drink less."

His words made everyone in the room laugh.

Boss Yang glared at Yan Wenxi: "What are you saying? Aci is the same age as my daughter. I see her as if she were my own daughter. What's wrong with me feeling sorry for her?"

Yan Wenxi silently hummed and shook his head, then picked up his wine glass and said to Shen Ci, "Little sister, let's have a drink together."

"No problem, I'll toast you, Brother Xizi."

Shen Ci generously poured wine and raised his glass, which made Boss Yang feel sorry for her. He raised his hand and pushed Yan Wenxi, saying, "Let her take a break. She just finished three glasses."

With that push, Yan Wenxi spilled the wine all over his pants, but he didn't care. He finished the rest of his drink and poured himself another half: "I'll make up for it with half a glass."

Shen Ci smiled at Boss Yang: "Uncle Yang, it's alright. I'm in a good mood today. I came here to apologize. I should have had a few more drinks last time since I spoiled everyone's fun."

Actually, Shen Ci was confident in her alcohol tolerance. She could drink a lot. Before, when she went to pick up male models with Lianxing and the others, she drank so much foreign liquor and mixed it with beer, but she didn't get drunk in the end.

Boss Yang quickly raised his hand and said, "Since you call me uncle and your brother Xizi has recognized you as his sister, you don't need to be so formal with us. You're still young and need to take care of your health."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ci's smile became more genuine, because she could also feel Uncle Yang's sincerity towards her; he truly treated her as a junior who needed care.

"Okay, Uncle Yang, I'll keep that in mind. I'll stop drinking when it's about time."

Boss Yang nodded in satisfaction and quickly called to the others, "You guys, hurry up and have a couple of drinks with Xizi, I think he really wants to drink today!"

The crowd immediately started making noise again. Shen Ci casually picked up her phone and received a message notification. When she opened it, the smile on her face vanished instantly.

Noticing the change in Shen Ci's expression, Boss Yang frowned and asked, "What's wrong, Ci? Is something the matter?"

He spoke with the air of a big shot, as if he were about to help Shen Ciping.

Yan Wenxi also put down his wine glass and looked at Shen Ci with a serious expression.

Shen Ci composed himself and then smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, Uncle Yang, Brother Xizi, I... I might have to go first, it's really urgent."

"So urgent?"

Someone subconsciously spoke up, not forgetting to observe the expressions of Boss Yang and Yan Wenxi, fearing that Shen Ci's departure would displease the two big shots.

But no, Boss Yang raised his chin and asked in a deep voice, "Tell Uncle Yang what's going on. As long as it's not murder or arson in Longcheng, Uncle Yang will handle it for you."

Shen Ci shook her head: "Uncle Yang, it's not about Longcheng. It's about my sister's matter in the Hengdian film crew. I can handle it myself."

Shen Ci was about to get up and take his leave when Boss Yang interrupted him: "Wait a minute, you'll have to go to that remote place yourself."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Yan Wenxi: "What's wrong with you? Your sister is in trouble and you're not going to help? You're just letting her go alone?"
