Chapter 547: Chapter 548 Kowtow and Apologize
"Who are you? How dare you hit someone!" Liu Yufuâs face was taut as he glared at Song Xiaodong, commanding a considerable presence.
Song Xiaodong ignored him completely and looked at Cheng Xiaoyue, saying, "Tell me, what exactly happened? Iâll take care of it for you."
Cheng Xiaoyue sobbed once, then briefly recounted the incident.
Just as Cheng Xiaoyue finished speaking, Lin Shu shook his head and loudly exclaimed, "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. How could Song Bin do such a thing?"
Song Binâs face turned ugly, but aligning with Lin Shu, he immediately scowled and shouted, "Sheâs talking nonsense. Would I take advantage of her? If Song Bin wanted a woman, there are plenty of female fans who would throw themselves at me. Why would I need to force her?"
Liu Yufu quickly added, "Exactly, exactly. Donât spout nonsense, woman. Considering youâre a woman, I donât want to argue with you. But if you continue to make trouble, donât blame us for suing you."
As Liu Yufu spoke, he made a gesture at Zheng Qian, continuing, "Zheng Qian, youâre a witness too, isnât that right?"
Zheng Qian found herself in an extreme dilemma. If she didnât agree with Liu Yufu, she might no longer be able to stay at the TV station, but agreeing with him would mean distorting the truth, which her conscience couldnât bear.
Cheng Xiaoyue fully understood Zheng Qianâs predicament. Being part of the same industry, she knew well its complexities. Wiping her eyes, she tugged at Song Xiaodong and said, "Mr. Song, let it be. Youâve already stood up for me. Letâs go."
Song Xiaodong frowned and said, "Donât be afraid. Iâm here; no one can do anything to you."
Cheng Xiaoyue brushed her hair from her forehead, revealing a strained smile and said, "Itâs not about being afraid. Itâs become such a mess that I have no chance at the Provincial TV station now. Continuing this fight is pointless. Thank you for coming to help me at this time. Nothing major happened; Iâm already grateful."
Song Xiaodong hesitated for a moment and finally nodded, preparing to leave with Cheng Xiaoyue.
"Wait, you hit me and you think you can just leave?" Song Bin suddenly slapped the table and bellowed.
Song Xiaodong turned to look at him and indifferently asked, "What else do you want then?"
"What else? You must kneel down and apologize to me," Song Bin angrily demanded.
Song Xiaodong turned to look at Cheng Xiaoyue and said, "You see? Give some people a little respect, and they donât know their place."
Cheng Xiaoyueâs mouth twitched, and then she said to Song Bin, "Song Bin, although youâre a big star, please donât go too far. If this really blows up, I, Cheng Xiaoyue, have nothing and am not afraid of anything, but it certainly wonât do your reputation any good."
Song Bin scoffed and said, "Just you two? Big talk. Let me tell you, I, Song Bin, have never been hit by anyone. Making him kneel and apologize is letting him off easy. If you dare leave this room now, just wait for my revenge."
Liu Yufu also spoke sternly, "Cheng Xiaoyue, let me tell you, not only will you not make it into the Provincial TV station, but you wonât be able to mix in the local station either. In this circle, you will have no place. You think you can defy us? You should see what you are capable of. It would be an honor for you if Song Bin desired you. What are you pretending for here?"
Cheng Xiaoyueâs face turned extremely ugly; their actions were driving her into a corner.
Lin Shu was somewhat dumbfounded. Was this really her idol? He was nothing like the gentle man he usually appeared to be.
Song Xiaodong scoffed and said, "Well said. Since you all say so, letâs see who really canât stay in this circle."
Having said that, Song Xiaodong immediately took out his phone and made a call.
Song Bin sneered and said, "My God, still acting tough and trying to find connections? I want to see what connections you can find. Talking about connections here is childâs play."
As soon as the call connected, Song Xiaodong spoke, "Iâm at the Fuzun Hotel in the Tsinghua Room. Come over." Then he hung up.
Song Bin laughed loudly and said, "That act, I give you ninety points. The missing ten are so you donât get too arrogant."
Liu Yufu also laughed loudly, "Still giving orders, who do you think you are?"
"Soon you wonât be able to laugh," Song Xiaodong said with a faint smile, sitting down on the sofa in the suite with Cheng Xiaoyue.
Zhong Chuling tugged at Lin Shu who glanced at Song Bin and then followed Zhong Chuling to stand behind Song Xiaodong.
At that moment, Zheng Qian came over to Cheng Xiaoyue and whispered, "Xiaoyue, why donât you just apologize? Song Bin has gotten to know many powerful people over the years. If you antagonize him, youâll surely be at a disadvantage."
Cheng Xiaoyue turned her head to look at Song Xiaodong, feeling uneasy. That time she saw Song Xiaodong was quite powerful, knowing he must have some connections, but that was in Tiannan. Here in the Provincial City, which is in a completely different league than Tiannan City, Song Xiaodongâs connections in Tiannan might not work here.
Song Xiaodong patted Cheng Xiaoyueâs hand and said, "Donât worry; everything will be fine."
Zheng Qian immediately retorted, "You talk too big. At our TV station, Song Bin has great influence. The show he hosts has high ratings nationwide. Unless the head of our TV station himself comes over, he fears no one."
"Really? Afraid of the director, huh? Well, thatâs who I asked to come," Song Xiaodong said with a light smile.
"The director... are you saying you just called our Director Fang?" Zheng Qian was incredulous.
"Yes," Song Xiaodong nodded.
Liu Yufu sneered, "Kid, you really can brag. Our director is quite a figure, and heâs not just a simple director, but also a member of the Fang Family. Do you know who the Fang Family is? They are the biggest family in our entire province. You dare to order a member of the Fang Family around, huh? If the Fang Family finds out, you wouldnât even know how you died."
Zheng Qianâs face turned pale as she hurriedly said, "You canât talk nonsense like this. The Fang Family is not to be messed with."
Song Xiaodong smiled faintly and said, "Soon youâll know who truly canât mess with the Fang Family."
Liu Yufu scoffed and said, "My goodness, still so defiant. If you can actually get our director here, Iâll immediately kowtow to you."
