Chapter 376: You are the Guest, Leave This to Me (Part One)
Liu Ziqi’s agent Sister Wang was a bit angry. She whispered to her, “What are you doing? Do you know what the consequences will be if you do this?”
“But he wants to do me!” Liu Ziqi turned to Sister Wang for help and said, “Didn’t you see through his intentions? Before I came over, I already said that if I need to give up my body, then I would rather not take this role.”
Sister Wang nodded. “But how did you make this situation turn out like this? Apologize first.”
Liu Ziqi said, a bit distressed, “It wasn’t me, it was him that chased after me and I had nowhere to go and accidentally stumbled in here.”
The manager of this restaurant was also in a difficult spot. He looked at Ye Xiu and the others and bitterly laughed. “Gentlemen, what was happening over here?”
Ye Xiu looked over at President Li and said, “If you wanna get drunk and act crazy, go back to your own room. Us rewarding him with a few bottles was already going light on him. Just get him the fack out. But if you are not afraid to blowing this up, do whatever you want.”
President Li’s friend, that one with the expensive watch, directly came over and pointed at Ye Xiu and the others with his other hand on his waist as he asked, “Which families are you kids from? What are you doing? Acting like gangsters from the movies you saw? Do you know that physical assault is against the law?”
Xu Cheng glanced at President Li from the corner of his eyes and said, “Then is sexual harassment against the law?”
President Li covered the bleeding spot on his head as he stood up, looked at Liu Ziqi, and asked, “You ask her, was I sexually harassing her?”
Then, he looked over to Liu Ziqi’s agent and said, “You tell them, did I force her to do anything?”
His eyes were threatening , and Sister Wang could only bitterly smile. She shook her head and said, “Of course not, everyone’s here tonight to talk about the film and script. Where did the sexual harassment talk even begin…”
At that moment, Liu Ziqi suddenly said, “He was indeed putting his hands on me!”
She knew that since someone was here to stand up for her today, she had to use this opportunity and completely put out President Li’s idea of thinking that he could take advantage of her. Otherwise, if she and Sister Wang were to compromise today, she would end up always being treated this way in the future in this circle, gaining a reputation as someone who would trade her body for roles. By then, she would really become a toy in the entertainment industry. Since she already offended President Li, she didn’t mind blowing it up even more since it was rare that there were other people at the scene who didn’t seem like they were afraid of President Li at all. Worst comes to worst, she would be kicked out of the industry; but if she had to trade her body for her career’s success, she would rather leave this circle early.
Hearing the sudden accusation from Liu Ziqi, a hint of dissatisfaction and anger appeared on President Li’s face.
He suddenly became mad out of embarrassment and said in a deep voice, “You are pretending to be innocent and virtuous with me? You are in this circle and you don’t know the rules? Are you playing dumb with me? Let me tell you, I forced you, so what? If you are not willing, there are tons of other people that are willing. This role that I have, take it or leave it! You want to take a bite out of me right now? I will show you the consequences of offending me and make you regret it! You really think you can be like that Lin Chuxue and not be able to get any dirt on her swimming around in this circle? Do you have her capabilities?”
Sister Wang was also getting nervous. “President Li, please don’t get angry, let’s just talk this out, okay? Ziqi’s still young and naive, you are her senior, please forgive her and give her another chance.”(r
