“Boss, what are you doing?” Shen Yiyi finally walked onto the motorhome and asked Lin Zexi, who was pretending to read the script.

“This is your recent hard work payment,” Lin Zexi said, adjusting his tone to sound calmer and gentler.

“Oh.” Shen Yiyi responded weakly and turned to leave.

“Stop,” Lin Zexi called out.

“Boss?”

“Why are you unhappy?” Lin Zexi asked. He had never been in a relationship before and didn’t understand a girl’s emotions.

“It’s nothing,” Shen Yiyi said, still low-spirited, and continued to walk away.

“Stop,” he called again.

Shen Yiyi looked at him in confusion.

Lin Zexi adjusted his tone slightly and continued, “Do you want to go karaoke?”

“Ah?”

The three of them booked a private room. Shen Yiyi gradually relaxed.

She liked going to KTV when she was in a bad mood, singing usually made her forget most of her worries.

After singing countless songs with Huang Kankan, Shen Yiyi even dragged Lin Zexi to sing one.

As expected of a top star, even his singing carried a confident, slightly “showy” charm.

Shen Yiyi wasn’t his fan, but she had to admit his vocal skills could easily rank in the top five in the entertainment industry.

Because she was upset, Shen Yiyi drank quite a bit.

By the end, she was half-lying on the sofa, slightly unsteady.

“Shen Yiyi, why are you unhappy?” Lin Zexi sat beside her and asked softly.

“Because… because they’re all so annoying,” she muttered.

“Who? Who’s annoying? Who are they?” Lin Zexi was trying to get her to talk.

He had picked up this trick from a movie he filmed before, where the male lead got the female lead drunk to extract the truth.

“The people from the crew,” Shen Yiyi said, her voice already slightly unsteady.

“I heard them in the restroom talking behind my back. They said I only got this far because I slept with you, and even the director. It’s so unfair…”

Her voice trembled as she spoke, and tears slipped from the corner of her eyes, landing on the back of Lin Zexi’s hand.

A cold aura instantly spread from Lin Zexi.

The veins on the back of his hand subtly tightened.

“They’ve gone too far,” Huang Kankan said softly, watching Shen Yiyi with concern.

A girl who had just graduated shouldn’t have to endure this kind of gossip.

“Call the assistant director,” Lin Zexi said coldly. “I want an explanation.”

The assistant director received Huang Kankan’s call in the middle of the night and was so startled he practically jumped out of bed.

After the call, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Lin Zexi wanted an explanation, and he knew exactly what kind of temper Lin Zexi had.

On the surface, he seemed cold and hard to approach, but in reality, he was fiercely protective of his own people.

If he found out who had been spreading rumors behind the scenes, things wouldn’t end well.

Of all people to offend, they had to provoke someone like him.

Early the next morning, the assistant director gathered all the female staff on set, including assistants, makeup artists, and crew members, and gave them a harsh lecture.

He scolded them for a full half hour, warning that anyone caught gossiping or spreading rumors would be fired on the spot and permanently banned from working on any production in the future.

Everyone stood there trembling.

Being banned from all future productions was no different from being blacklisted.

Whispers spread quietly, who could have done it?

The female staff exchanged uneasy glances.

U and Y kept their heads down, not daring to say a word.

In the entertainment industry, people with connections and power were not someone they could afford to offend.

They had thought she was just a fresh graduate, an easy target for a few complaints, but they hadn’t expected to run into someone they absolutely shouldn’t have crossed.

The assistant director had his assistant record the scolding and send the video to Huang Kankan.

Huang Kankan then showed it to Lin Zexi.

Lin Zexi watched it with a blank expression and said coldly, “That’s it? If no one gets their legs broken, how is that an explanation?”

“Boss… we’re in a society governed by law. That would be illegal,” Huang Kankan reminded him cautiously.

“…”

Huang Kankan was met with Lin Zexi’s deadly stare.

“Boss, I was wrong. We should’ve dragged them out and beaten them senseless. How dare they badmouth our Yiyi.”

“Send the video to Shen Yiyi.”

“Got it!” Huang Kankan quickly seized the chance to make up for his mistake.
