148: Chapter 152 Follow-up (4) 148: Chapter 152 Follow-up (4) Jiang Xuanqi rambled on for half an hour before she finally vented all her anger, and because she had been talking nonstop, she hardly noticed that Yin Maohui wasn’t even in front of the phone.
Half an hour later when Yin Maohui picked up, he simply said a few words, “Got it.”
That’s when Jiang Xuanqi finally calmed down.
Afterward, Yin Maohui also asked Hong Minjun what the matter was.
Hong Minjun, with her decent summarizing skills, immediately gave an overview of the situation.
We all know Jiang Xuanqi’s personality.
Just go down and give Jian Anning a few words of advice.”
Hong Minjun understood what Yin Maohui meant—he didn’t want to deal with this anymore.
She was actually clear about what kind of person Jiang Xuanqi was and Jian Anning’s easygoing personality.
Usually in the company, Anning got along with everyone and didn’t argue, being very easy to get along with, so how could she have angered Jiang Xuanqi?
She later inquired with other staff from the crew and sure enough, it was Jiang Xuanqi who stirred up trouble first, and Jian Anning merely retaliated when she could no longer endure, the incident was not her fault at all.
Usually, if Jian Anning were just any ordinary assistant, chastising or even firing her to protect Jiang Xuanqi would have been the obvious choice.
But the catch was, she was someone Yu Zexiao had vouched for.
She worked diligently, handling all tasks assigned by the company very well.
Yu Zexiao was also satisfied with her, and recently she hadn’t caused any trouble for the company.
Weighing the option of keeping Jian Anning for Yu Zexiao against firing her because of Jiang Xuanqi, Yin Maohui chose the former without any psychological pressure.
Of course, the formalities still had to be observed.
So, the next day, Hong Minjun made a point of calling during the filming to give Jian Anning a “scolding.” She also had others from Starlight Entertainment spread the word about the incident.
Jiang Xuanqi was naturally triumphant, while at this time, Jian Anning had a ridiculous Band-Aid on her nose to cover up the teeth marks Yu Zexiao had left the day before.
Compared to Jiang Xuanqi, she seemed pitiful.
Unexpectedly, after Yu Zexiao finished filming, he pulled Jian Anning right to his side!
Then, he tilted his head back, the handsome arch of his brows lifting slightly as he opened his lips, a displeased tone breaking forth, “Jian Anning is my assistant!
When beating a dog, you have to look at the owner; from now on, whoever dares to bully her is going against me!”
He purposely spoke with a voice as resonant as a bell so that everyone in the crew could hear, and indeed, he saw that the smile of pride on Jiang Xuanqi’s face instantly froze.
At first, when Anning heard Yu Zexiao’s opening remark, she was somewhat touched.
But upon hearing his second sentence, her expression immediately darkened!
What’s with this “when beating a dog, you have to look at the owner”?
Are you calling yourself a dog?!
The thick-skinned Yu Zexiao was completely unaware of Jian Anning’s anger, still puffing with pride over his “imposing declaration.” He cheerfully ordered, tilting his head, “You, go make me coffee!
I want soda crackers, the salty kind; don’t bring me any sweet ones.
If there’s a bit of sugar in them, you’re dead!”
After this statement, whatever positive feelings Jian Anning had for him “whooooshed” down into the negatives!
This man was truly annoying!
Just doing a little something and his tail was almost wagging to the sky!
Fuming, she went to pour his coffee and fetch the snacks, thinking to herself, hoping he’d eat until he burst, get fat and see if he’d still make trouble afterward!
