Rong Wei felt his heartbeat slow down for a beat.
When Meng Yao encountered difficulties, he thought of himself first, and this realization made him extremely happy.
Rong Wei stretched out his hand, motioning Xia Yansen to be quiet.
Xia Yansen was still holding the report in his hand. He paused when he saw his action. When he faintly heard the familiar voice from the other side, he understood everything.
No wonder, for a workaholic, the only thing more important than work is his wife.
He listened to the coquettish words from the other side and tried to soothe her emotions with a gentle voice: "Tell me, what difficulties have you encountered?"
Meng Yao’s official announcement was made not long ago, and the director instantly guessed who the "husband" opposite Meng Yao was. His face turned red and blue, and his eyes flashed with panic and fear.
The director and Guan Liang looked at each other. Seeing the other's leisurely expression, the director withdrew his gaze and swallowed nervously.
As if the god of death was calling, a mobile phone suddenly appeared in front of him, and the chat interface was playing on the screen.
The nickname is "Rong Wei". The director was first puzzled about their relationship, and the next second he was filled with a fatal fear.
Meng Yao raised her eyebrows, her expression unrecognizable: "Let's talk."
The director took it reluctantly, his voice trembling: "Hello, Mr. Rong..."
I still remember the last time I saw Rong Wei was at a business banquet. At that time, he could only get close to say hello. After all, everyone knew that Rong Wei never liked to interact with people in the entertainment industry. The director was also regretful at the time. He didn't expect this honor to come so soon.
Everyone knows that Rong Yan is famous for his meticulous work. He always looks humble and always praises anyone who mentions him.
This was the first time the director felt the other person’s anger directly, an undisguised rage.
"Director Liang, do you look down on me?"
The voice was cold and heavy, as if it was a thousand feet of ice.
He took off his gentle exterior and became so cold that it was unbearable.
"I... I... How could I possibly look down on Mr. Rong? Listen to me, there are reasons for this, and I don't want to..."
The other party chuckled, but it made people's scalps numb: "Really? Then tell me, what is the reason?"
This is definitely a accusation, the director thought. He stammered, "This... This matter is a bit complicated to explain. Of course, I have always admired Xiao Meng, but I was forced to do this..."
He didn't explain it clearly.
I originally thought that Rong Yan didn't care about the entertainment industry and rarely interfered with Meng Yao's affairs, but now I realize that it's not the case. Meng Yao called Rong Yan out directly.
The other party obviously didn't want to continue talking nonsense with him, and asked directly: "Can this matter be resolved?"
“This… this…”
Thinking of Rong Zhen's previous words, he felt like his head was about to explode.
"Can't?" The voice suddenly dropped, giving people a sense of oppression almost instantly.
Rong Wei has been in a high position for a long time, and the pressure he exerts on him is definitely not something an ordinary person can bear.
“Yes, yes, yes!! Mr. Rong, yes!!”
The director kept assuring: "Boss Rong, this matter can definitely be resolved! I promise to do it well!"
Although he got the answer he wanted, Rong Yan did not end the call easily.
"I don't want this to happen again. Not giving my wife face is a slap in my face. In that case, we can talk about it in depth next time."
The director broke out in a cold sweat and responded hastily.
The phone returned to Meng Yao's hand, and Rong Yan's voice had returned to its gentle tone: "The company is a little busy today. I'll ask the driver to pick you up after the press conference."
Meng Yao responded sweetly, but because there were so many people around her, she kept her words of flattery to herself.
Guan Liang secretly gave Meng Yao a thumbs up in his heart, but he remained calm: "Director, what do you think we should do about this?"
The director wiped the sweat from his forehead and forced a smile: "Of course, we'll stick to our previous idea. Xiao Meng will still be the first. What you said does make sense. I was really confused just now."
Guan Liang said: "It's not too late to correct it now."
"Yes Yes Yes."
The director spoke to the venue manager about the incident again and asked him to make some adjustments and stick to the original guidelines.
Meng Qingqing naturally also knew the news. The agreed thing was changed so easily. She suppressed her anger and said, "Didn't we already agree on it? Why did it change?"
"It's normal for things to change. I can't do anything about it. Qingqing, please understand. I'm really sorry..."
Rong Wei had called him personally, what else could he do? Those who were exploited by capital were always people like him who were at the next level.
Besides, if Meng Qingqing really is allowed to appear first, who knows what kind of public opinion storm it will cause. Only Meng Yao is worthy of that position.
Meng Qingqing thought of the scene she had just seen and asked cryptically, "Did someone call you?"
The director said nothing, which was considered an admission.
Meng Qingqing had already guessed it, and she forced a smile: "Is that so."
Meng Qingqing had always been a well-behaved person in front of Rong Zhen, but Rong Zhen seemed to have run into some trouble recently. As his well-behaved daughter, Meng Qingqing definitely couldn't run over and cause trouble at this time.
Meng Qingqing clenched her hands, and her resentful eyes drifted to Meng Yao not far away, but she retracted her gaze in an instant.

After a simple touch-up of makeup, it was time for the main cast to go on stage. Guan Liang gave them a final reminder: "The questions asked by the reporters were all discussed in advance and cannot escape those categories. Don't forget the techniques I told you to be serious and don't be lazy like before."
Meng Yao naturally agreed.
Several leading actors were waiting backstage. Suddenly, a vicious look shot over. Meng Yao seemed to sense something and raised her eyebrows at the other person.
In Meng Qingqing's eyes, this naturally became a provocation. She gritted her teeth and her eyes became more and more hateful.
Meng Yao has already turned her head.
Judging from the extent to which the heroine hated herself, she was actually quite successful in playing the villain.
Following the director's instructions, several people went on stage in order.
"Spring Island" is a drama with a strong female lead. The male lead appears less frequently but he is an important character after all. It's just that he cannot overshadow Meng Qingqing's strong background and is ranked behind the third female lead Meng Qingqing.
Needless to say, the other party was discontent.
Meng Yao appeared in a red dress with a slight curve at the corner of her lips.
The sudden scene surprised everyone. Meng Qingqing actually sped up and tried to pass Meng Yao and move forward.
A hand suddenly grabbed Meng Qingqing's arm, the force was not strong but enough to restrain her movements.
Meng Qingqing turned around and saw Meng Yao looking at her coldly, with a chill in his eyes.
