Originally, both Xu Tingyu and Qi Ruixi thought that after Xie Shu threw her tantrum, that would be the end of it.
After all, it was she who had provoked this in the first place.
She was the one who came over and accused others of being uncivilized when they were just doing their makeup in the dressing room.
But unexpectedly, she really went to complain.
When Xu Tingyu finished her makeup and went out, she heard from other staff members that Xie Shu was feeling wronged and was hiding in her nanny van, refusing to come out.
"She feels wronged? Why doesn't she just fly to the sky?"
Qi Ruixi had already regained her good mood and was following Xu Tingyu like a fangirl.
But then she heard such an absurd thing.
Most importantly, while the staff members were talking, their eyes kept darting towards Xu Tingyu.
Their words seemed to imply that it was Xu Tingyu who had offended Xie Shu.
Qi Ruixi, the self - proclaimed "sister - in - law protector", couldn't stand it anymore.
"Hey, it's up to her whether she wants to film or not. Who is she threatening? This is her job. Are we all supposed to coddle her?"
She was itching to drag Xie Shu out and give her a couple of slaps.
She was such an adult but still pulling such a childish stunt.
The staff member didn't know what else to say. They just gave them a look that seemed to say "good luck" and then scurried away.
Pan Zhi, knowing their identities, didn't say much either. He just told Xu Tingyu to start filming first and not to worry about it.
But halfway through Xu Tingyu's filming, Xie Shu got out of the nanny van.
However, it wasn't because she had seen the light and decided to let it go.
Instead, she came back with a group of people, strutting in arrogantly.
"These are the ones, Assistant Jiang. Please tell my brother - in - law for me that it's not that I'm being temperamental. I'm really mad this time."
"They don't respect me, which means they don't respect him, and it means they don't respect the Qi Group."
She escalated the conflict to the level of the Qi Group.
It had to be said that she had a kind of reckless bravado that bordered on stupidity.
But beneath this bravado was often just excessive vanity.
She thought that once she brought up the Qi Group and Qi Shifeng, everyone present would tremble in fear.
She was already ready to receive those envious, awed, and obsequious looks.
So she didn't notice the embarrassed expression on Jiang Li, who was following behind her.
Qi Shifeng had gone on an inspection today and hadn't taken Jiang Li with him.
When Jiang Li received Xie Shu's call, he was just about to leave work.
Actually, he didn't like this young lady either.
Although she was sisters with Xie Yu, they looked different and had completely different personalities.
Xie Shu's arrogance and capriciousness were on full display, and she had offended many people because of it.
So Jiang Li answered her call with a frown.
Then he heard that she had been bullied on the set and wanted Qi Shifeng to come over and stand up for her.
Jiang Li thought he had misheard.
Not only her, but even Xie Yu wouldn't dare to call and order Qi Shifeng around.
When Xie Shu saw that he didn't respond, she repeated herself.
Not wanting to offend her, Jiang Li said he would ask the boss.
Then he called Qi Shifeng and told him that Xie Shu had encountered some problems on the set and asked if he should send the lawyer and bodyguards over.
At first, Qi Shifeng said not to bother and told her to handle it with her agency.
But after a while, he called back and said, "Forget it. I'll go there myself."
Since the boss was going to go there in person, Jiang Li, out of respect, naturally came too.
However, when he arrived, Qi Shifeng hadn't shown up yet.
When Xie Shu saw him, she couldn't wait to drag him in and start causing trouble.
As soon as Jiang Li walked into the filming set, he immediately regretted coming.
He never expected that Xu Tingyu and Qi Ruixi would be there too.
And the one who had clashed with Xie Shu was none other than the eldest daughter of the Qi family, who had briefly shown up at the company that morning.
At this moment, he wished he could turn invisible and didn't dare to say a word.
But Xie Shu didn't need him to say anything.
With someone there to "stand up" for her, her arrogance was more than ten times stronger than when she was outside the dressing room.
"Aren't you so tough? Why aren't you saying anything now?"
"Scared now? It's too late. Let me tell you, today you have to apologize to me and promise to quit the crew."
"And from now on, you're not allowed to show up in front of me. Only then will I consider forgiving you."
Seeing that they didn't respond, Xie Shu thought they were scared and became even more overbearing.
This wasn't just a provocation to Xu Tingyu and Qi Ruixi. She didn't even respect the director.
After all, filming was still in progress. Her sudden intrusion with a group of people not only stopped the filming from continuing but also meant that they had to redo what they had already shot.
Pan Zhi's patience had reached its limit. Just as he was about to open his mouth to scold her, Qi Ruixi beat him to it.
"I just said you were like a toad yawning, having such a big mouth, and you still refused to admit it."
"Now you're spouting nonsense again. What, do you want me to kowtow to you?"
She was really furious.
No wonder every time she saw her sister - in - law since she came back, she always felt that her sister - in - law was much quieter than before.
What kind of people were these? How dare they act so arrogantly in front of her.
Today, she was going to teach them a lesson and show these villains that if they dared to bully her sister - in - law, they were asking for trouble.
"You're still being stubborn. Do you know who he is?"
Xie Shu didn't care that there were a bunch of staff members watching. She just kept shouting and making a scene without any dignity.
Jiang Li couldn't help but quietly remind her from behind, "Miss Xie, stop talking. There must be some misunderstanding here."
"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding could there be? Assistant Jiang, if my brother - in - law knows that you're so incompetent, he probably won't reuse you."
Xie Shu knew how to bluff.
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control and even the staff had put down their work and gathered around to watch, Xu Tingyu didn't want Qi Ruixi to be scolded by Qi Shifeng. So she tugged at her and said, "Forget it. Stop talking. Don't argue with her."
The reason Xie Shu had been so arrogant until now was because of Qi Shifeng's indulgence.
But Qi Ruixi wasn't willing to let it go.
"Sister - in - law, she's too overbearing. She really thinks she's someone. And she even dares to call Jiang Li to stand up for her."
"The face of our Qi family has been trampled on the ground."
She glared at Jiang Li fiercely and then whispered to Xu Tingyu.
"Sister - in - law, don't be afraid. When I was in the foreign country with nothing to do, I watched a lot of palace - intrigue dramas. I'm really tough now. Let me handle this. I can do it."
As she said this, she pulled Xu Tingyu behind her and then looked at Jiang Li, sneering.
"Assistant Jiang, you're a top - notch graduate. You're getting a high salary from the Qi Group, but you're willing to be this crazy woman's pawn?"
"I'm ashamed for you even if you're not."
Jiang Li didn't even dare to look at Qi Ruixi.
She had come to the company for registration that morning, and Jiang Li had been in charge of the whole process.
Running into each other in this situation in the afternoon was really embarrassing.
Any sensible person would have realized by now that Qi Ruixi was not someone to be trifled with.
Unfortunately, Xie Shu wasn't that sensible.
She only thought that Xu Tingyu was Qi Ye's girlfriend and Qi Ruixi was her assistant.
In her logic, Qi Ye and Qi Shifeng must have a bad relationship, so they must be at odds all the time.
Now embarrassing Qi Ye's girlfriend was a way to gain face for Qi Shifeng.
She was even feeling smug, thinking that she could use this way to intimidate them.
She had to let them know that just because they were with the eldest young master of the Qi family didn't mean anything. Now, the Qi family was under Qi Shifeng's control.
