"We're friends, all you need to do is tell what trouble Shiyi has run into?" Ge Dongxu didn't wait for Liu Manman to finish speaking when he interrupted her.
"Soone wants Shiyi to sleep with them, but Shiyi doesn't want to, and now they're at a standoff. That person has so background in the capital, they are ..." Liu Manman felt a warmth in her heart and quickly said.
"Where are you right now?" a cold glint flashed through Ge Dongxu's eyes as he interrupted again.
"We're in the Emperor Jin Club." Liu Manman replied.
"I also happen to be at the Emperor Jin Club, tell where you are, and I'll co over right now," said Ge Dongxu, his voice cold.
"Thank you, Dongxu. We're currently in Building 15," Liu Manman, upon hearing that Ge Dongxu was also at the Emperor Jin Club and would co over imdiately, couldn't help but feel deeply touched and relieved, and spoke hurriedly.
"Good, I'm coming over right now. Don't be afraid, I'm here for you. If that guy dares to lay a finger on Shiyi, you just slap him across the face," Ge Dongxu said and then hung up the phone. He then casually hailed one of the electric carts that shuttle between the club's buildings and said, "To Building 15."
"Yes, sir," the driver replied courteously, and then began shuttling down the tree-lined path.
On the way, Ge Dongxu thought for a mont and then called Feng Chenqing, "Chenqing, co to Building 15. A friend of mine is in so trouble, and it might be better if you handle it."
"Okay, I'll be right there." Feng Chenqing certainly didn't dare to delay upon receiving a call from Ge Dongxu, so he hurried out of the villa with Feng Chenming and called for a car to rush to Building 15.
After Liu Manman made the call, she returned to the villa to find the situation still at a standoff. She hesitated and then stepped forward to say, "Director Dong, the girl is young, she's bound to be inexperienced at tis. Why must you take it so personally? Can't we just let it go this ti?"
Although she had already made the call, Liu Manman hoped the situation wouldn't escalate because, after all, Young Master Yang and Director Dong were influential people. Moreover, as to Ge Dongxu, Liu Manman still didn't really know the extent of his background or whether he could control the situation; she really had no idea.
"I'll let her go this ti. Why don't you stay then!" Director Dong glanced at Liu Manman and said.
Liu Manman was imdiately left speechless.
"What, now that you're a bit famous, you can't let down your pride? But don't pretend to be so high and mighty, wasn't it Xu Feng who used to take care of you? Sure, Xu Feng is sobody in your place, but in the capital, he's nothing! Even before my dad, he has to behave properly. Moreover, Xu Feng has already been arrested by now. So, what do you think, why not consider it? If you agree to stay, not only will Wu's negotiation go through without a hitch, but I'll also let this young girl off the hook," Director Dong's eyes narrowed lasciviously as he scoped Liu Manman's body, obviously aware of her past dealings.
"Why must you force soone against their will, Director Dong? In our circle, everyone has so connections behind them. Consensual is one thing, but causing a scene when it's against soone's will, that benefits no one – don't you agree?" Liu Manman saw that Director Dong was unwilling to budge and her face gradually turned cold.
"Liu Manman, shut up. If Shiyi doesn't understand the rules, do you not either?" Wu Longcai saw Liu Manman's stubborn attitude and knew things would turn out bad, so he quickly scolded her.
These days, rich and powerful young masters like Director Dong and Young Master Yang didn't care about money; what they couldn't stand was being threatened or losing face!
Of course, if your background is more powerful than theirs, that's a different story.

"Wow, the headlining actress of Jiangnan Province Entertainnt sure has a different air about her! According to you, Wu Shiyi has got backing too, huh? Fine, call them up, let's see if I can afford to offend them or not." Indeed, as soon as Liu Manman said this, Director Dong's face grew even uglier.
"Director Dong..." Wu Longcai quickly tried to smooth things over with an apologetic smile.
"Director Wu, these kinds of issues, if Wu Shiyi had brought it up earlier, we could've talked it out amicably. We're all out here to have fun; there's no need to spoil the mood. But to bring this up now, and you expect us to let it go? If this gets out, people will think Director Dong and I are cowards!" Young Master Yang also spoke up with a cold expression.
"Director Wu, it's not that I don't want to give you face today, but these two underlings of yours keep disrespecting . You tell , if not earlier or later, why ntion having backup now? What are you implying? Trying to threaten ?" Director Dong scoffed coldly as well.
Seeing the situation escalate to this point, Wu Longcai knew that sweet-talking was futile, so he finally played his trump card: "I don't know if the two of you are familiar with Ge Dongxu? Wu Shiyi indeed has a quite good relationship with Ge Dongxu, so please both of you..."
Wu Longcai, being a local, didn't have many connections in the capital and certainly none with any VIPs. Even people like Young Master Yang and Director Dong were big shots to him, otherwise, he wouldn't have to ingratiate himself with them like this. Now that things had escalated to this point, all he could do was try his luck by ntioning Ge Dongxu's na.
"Ge Dongxu? Who's that? Never heard of him! Yang Tian, have you heard of him?" Director Dong frowned in thought then turned to ask Yang Tian.
"Why bother thinking about it? There's nobody prominent in the capital with the surna Ge!" Yang Tian said disdainfully with a sneer.
Wu Longcai's face showed a trace of confusion, and just as he was about to further explain, Director Dong already waved his hand impatiently, "Alright, Wu Longcai, Ge Dongxu or whoever, let her call him."
"No need to call, he's already here." Just at that mont, the door was pushed open, and Ge Dongxu walked in.
"Brother Xu!" Wu Shiyi suddenly looked up in disbelief at Ge Dongxu, her face bearing both a handprint and tears.
"Ge Dongxu?" Wu Longcai's face revealed a look of surprise; he hadn't expected Cao Cao to literally arrive as soon as ntioned.
Both Ye Qianqian and Shangguan Yunfeng were slightly startled when Ge Dongxu arrived, but they quickly rembered the backgrounds of Young Master Yang and Director Dong, as well as their earlier remarks, and their faces soon showed a schadenfreude expression.
"He's the one backing Wu Shiyi? Ge Dongxu? More like Ge nothing!" Young Master Yang and Director Dong, upon seeing Ge Dongxu barge in, were first taken aback, then their expressions darkened as they scornfully cursed.
With their status, they knew almost everyone with any significance in the circles of the capital's young elite. They were well aware of whom they could offend and who was untouchable to them.
But Ge Dongxu's face was definitely unfamiliar to them, so there was nothing to fear!
Ge Dongxu ignored Young Master Yang and Director Dong and walked over to Wu Shiyi, looking at the handprint on her face and demanded coldly, "Shiyi, tell , who slapped you?"
"Damn! Are you dumb or what? In a place like this, you dare to cause a scene! Let tell you, it was who slapped her! What are you gonna do about it?" Director Dong, seeing an unremarkable youngster behaving so arrogantly, was taken aback for a mont before speaking up with evident disdain.
