Chapter 577: Chapter 577: Slap in the Face
She didn’t believe that this man could cough up the money!
A skirt worth more than one hundred thousand, even if this man could afford it, she didn’t believe he wouldn’t feel the pinch!
But Li Beijue truly didn’t feel the pinch. He could casually issue a one hundred thousand check just to learn how to bathe a baby, so why would he feel the pinch over a mere touch more than one hundred thousand? He effortlessly wrote a check for the female star’s asking price and threw the check at her, “Here’s the money you wanted.”
Before picking up the check, the female star still couldn’t believe he actually had a check on him, but once she confirmed both the check and its amount, she felt as though her throat was blocked, unable to utter a single word.
The Agent, trying to smooth things over, said, “It’s the right amount. Sir, I’m really sorry for the disturbance.”
With that, she intended to lead the female star away.
Li Beijue put away his pen and spoke nonchalantly, “Wait.”
The two stopped in their tracks.
“Did I say you could leave?” Li Beijue glanced over with cold eyes, assertive and domineering, “Take it off.”
Even Chi Enen didn’t grasp what he meant, what did he want her to take off?
She then heard the man beside her utter a demand that was jaw-dropping, “You named the price, and I paid the money, so naturally, the skirt is mine now. I want you to take it off and give it back to me right now!”
I want you to take it off and give it back to me right now!
Although the request was utterly humiliating, it was also reasonable and lawful!
The female star wanted Chi Enen to pay for her skirt, Li Beijue paid for it, so naturally, the skirt should belong to Li Beijue.
His request to have it returned was not in the least excessive.
Yet, making such a demand in public was beyond excessive—it was tantamount to a slap in the face!
The Agent’s face burned with embarrassment as she coaxed with a smile, “Sir, is it possible to let our Weiwei change into another set of clothes at the hotel and return this one to you?”
“I want her to take it off now!” Forceful! Unyielding! There was no room for negotiation!
The female star, albeit slow on the uptake, by now realized she had provoked someone she shouldn’t have, flushing with embarrassment, she looked to her Agent for help.
The Agent was in a tough spot with no chance to speak her woes, wishing she could immediately report back to the higher-ups in the company to stop managing such third-rate celebrities. Even though these celebrities were C-list, they often caused troubles that were more difficult to resolve than those by A and B-list famous celebrities. The moment they got a sniff of resources, they would act as if they could raise their tails to Heaven, relying on their celebrity status to feel excessively important and exceptional. Without the insight of A and B-list celebrities, their ambition was greater than anyone’s, and when they stirred up chaos, there was no stopping them.
But after all, she was the one who had brought up this artist, and no matter what, she had to protect her. The Agent, bracing herself, said with an appeasing smile, “Sir, Weiwei is a girl, and there are so many people here, it’s not quite appropriate. How about this, we return the check to you and forget about the skirt stained with mud, what do you say?”
“Forget about it? Do you think just saying it’s over means it’s over? I don’t like repeating myself. Take it off!” Li Beijue’s eyes were devoid of any warmth, so cold they could freeze someone to death.
The Agent could see that this was about standing up for one’s own.
Resigned, she turned to the previously arrogant and dazzling female star and said, “Weiwei, take off the skirt and return it to the gentleman.”
“Agent He!? There are so many people here…” The female star obviously didn’t want to do it.
The Agent’s face darkened, her eyes filled with anger, “I told you to just let it go at the outset and you didn’t listen, now take it off this instant!”
If she took it off now, this might just be the end of it.
If she continued to make a scene, she might face more situations that would leave her unable to cry even if she wanted to!
