Chapter 400: Chapter 400
Xiao Zhen’s expression was a bit complicated. Without a trace, he avoided the female influencer’s body pressing close and looked coldly at Xia Duoduo, speaking harshly, "Xia Duoduo, you used to be obedient and adorable, but now you’re resorting to violence and have even learned how to hit people! You’ve disappointed me!"
"Disappointed my ass! If I weren’t a little violent, would I just obediently wait around for you two to bully me?" Xia Duoduo stood with her hands on her hips, fuming with anger.
She used to be like a soft and pliable persimmon, easily manipulated by Xiao Zhen. But now? She’s eating well and acting in plays with Ye Cheng as her guide, finding meaning in her life. She’s intent on protecting everything she has now!
Ji Wei watched the scene unfold and couldn’t help but silently give Xia Duoduo a thumbs-up in her heart.
If someone bullies us, we bully them back. Unlike her last lifetime where she didn’t understand the meaning of resistance and continually submitted, only to meet a miserable end.
Xiao Zhen trembled with rage, but with an increasing number of onlookers enjoying the spectacle, he had no choice but to endure.
He was now the country’s newly crowned national male idol and could not afford to be dragged down by an eighteen-line artist. He had to leave everyone with an impression of tolerance and magnanimity—who knows, it might even earn him extra votes for the Newcomer of the Year Award.
"Xia Duoduo, for the sake of the time we’ve known each other, I won’t hold what happened today against you. We’re all in the entertainment industry, so don’t go too far. Take care of yourself."
Xiao Zhen spoke with forced generosity, then left, pulling the female influencer along.
The female influencer wouldn’t just take a punch unprovoked. She grabbed Xiao Zhen’s arm and quickly said, "Brother Zhen, she humiliated me like that and even hit me! Just letting this go? I can’t swallow this anger!"
Xiao Zhen patted her soft, delicate hand with a laugh. "Why bother engaging with a nameless actress? Don’t lower yourself to her level. Just wait until you shoot a movie with me—I guarantee you’ll be ten times more famous than her."
Hearing this, the female influencer’s annoyance softened slightly. "But she hit me earlier, and my nose still hurts! Check quickly—am I bleeding?
As she spoke, the female influencer moved her face even closer to Xiao Zhen.
Xiao Zhen deliberately avoided her crooked nose and dismissively said, "No, still gorgeous."
"But just letting her go like that makes me furious!"
"Stop throwing a tantrum. I’ll buy you a diamond necklace later as compensation."
Hearing about the necklace, the female influencer instantly beamed with joy, throwing Xia Duoduo a smug glance before turning her head to leave with Xiao Zhen.
"Mr. Xiao, please wait a moment!" Secretary Chen suddenly realized he was still holding Xiao Zhen’s membership card and hurriedly walked over, respectfully handing over the platinum card. "Your membership card, sir, please take it." New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on NoveI[F]ire.net
Xiao Zhen scanned the people present, the corner of his lips curling into a sneer. "Cancel the card for me. Since Wells has a super client like Miss Ji, clearly you wouldn’t lack celebrity customers like us. From now on, I won’t come to Wells Gym, nor will any of my celebrity friends ever spend money here again!"
His words were unyielding.
Manager Chen’s forehead broke out in sweat as he tried to placate him with a smile. "Mr. Xiao, could you... reconsider?"
If they lost celebrity customers like Xiao Zhen, Wells’ revenue would undoubtedly take a huge hit—and his position as manager would be at risk!
"My mind is made up; don’t say more." Xiao Zhen replied coldly before turning to leave once again.
Manager Chen wanted to make another attempt to salvage the situation when Jin Qichuan’s icy voice suddenly pierced through from behind: "Since Mr. Xiao doesn’t wish to continue using Wells’ services, there’s no need to force the matter. With nearly a hundred branches nationwide, Wells doesn’t lack clients. Wen Mu, process his cancellation immediately."
