"Don't mention it. We've caused trouble for the director. Here's a toast to you. I hope you won't be angry because of this! I'll drink, you can do whatever you want! "
Xu Zhixuan raised his glass with a smile. He naturally knew about Bae Hengjun. Back then, when Xu Zhixuan requested to postpone the filming of the movie because of Song Ji-hyo's sudden departure, Bae Hengjun had requested to change investors and even contacted a group of people himself. However, after the online battle, he understood Xu Zhixuan's capabilities and waited patiently for Song Ji-hyo's return.
"No, no, no, President Xu, you're too kind!" Bae Hengjun hurriedly raised his glass and downed it in one gulp.
Xu Zhixuan treated Bae Hengjun this way mainly because he wanted to rope him in. After all, Bae Hengjun was capable. Xu Zhixuan had seen Bae Hengjun's representative works, "Young Men Don't Cry" and "Please Don't Trust Her." Who wouldn't like a capable director?
Bang!
The door was suddenly pushed open. Everyone's gaze shifted from Xu Zhixuan to the door.
"Director, I'm sorry! There was a traffic jam on the way. I'll... "
The person who came was Jin Zaizhong and his manager, Bai Changzhu. Jin Zaizhong, who was originally full of smiles, walked into the banquet hall and saw Xu Zhixuan standing in front of the main table. His smile immediately froze, turning into awkwardness and worry.
Originally, he had also received news that Xu Zhixuan had returned to Korea today. Especially because of the grudge between him and Xu Zhixuan, he was worried that Xu Zhixuan would seek revenge. If Xu Zhixuan was still the artist he remembered, he would at most be a lackey of the three tycoons. He had Yi Xin Society behind him, so naturally, he wouldn't be worried.
However, he didn't know if it was because the world was moving too fast or if he was outdated, but the online battle made him realize how insignificant his initial provocation was and how ignorant he was when he made a move on Song Ji-hyo.
Therefore, the first thing he did was to seek help from his uncle in the One Heart Society. However, the reply he received was to tell him not to be anxious and that they would think of a way to wait for a reply. This caused his heart to immediately turn cold. He knew that he would be abandoned as an abandoned child.
He regretted it so much. Back then, when Yi Xin Association assigned him the mission, he had investigated Xu Zhixuan. Naturally, the information he obtained was not very detailed. At most, what was worth taking seriously was that Xu Zhixuan was on good terms with the Zheng, Cui, and Xin families. But in his opinion, a commoner and an entertainer, this so-called good relationship was just a lackey relying on the results of his friendship with the young masters of the three families.
Therefore, he didn't take Xu Zhixuan seriously at all. As for Han Yongcheng's Yongcheng Gang, although it was now a big gang in Seoul, in front of the One Heart Society, it was just a child. As long as he wanted to, he could do whatever he wanted.
In the end, Xu Zhixuan and the others fled Korea. Bai Changzhu was depressed for a long time and regretted not making a move earlier. However, Song Ji-hyo's appearance made his eyes light up. He even wanted to make Xu Zhixuan a cuckold. He didn't believe that after being humiliated like that, Xu Zhixuan would still cower in China and not dare to come back.
However, Song Ji-hyo, who he originally thought would be an easy target, turned out to be so difficult to deal with. His advances were all rejected. Even when he offered money to invite her to join his management company, she was rejected. Bai Changzhu was so angry that he directly bought Song Ji-hyo's management company. He originally thought that Song Ji-hyo would give in. Unfortunately, with Yin Zhiyuan's help, Song Ji-hyo directly paid the penalty for breaching the contract, even if the contract was only for a few months.
After Yin Zhiyuan appeared, Bai Changzhu became a little hesitant. He didn't expect Yin Zhiyuan to actually make a move. Could it be that Xu Zhixuan and Yin Zhiyuan's relationship was so good? Did this mean that it was the intention of Park Jinhui behind Yin Zhiyuan?
He became hesitant. However, when he thought about what kind of person Park Jinhui was, how could she make a move for an artist? It should be Yin Zhiyuan who made the decision on his own. Only then did he feel slightly relieved. However, he was no longer so forceful towards Song Ji-hyo.
He didn't believe that Song Ji-hyo would still choose to be with an artist like Xu Zhixuan. However, he had already become an image of disgust in Song Ji-hyo's heart. He was an existence that affected her relationship with Xu Zhixuan. Because of Bai Changzhu's nonsense, Song Ji-hyo was questioned by her own family and the Xu Family.
How could Song Ji-hyo be nice to someone who ruined her relationship and her family? Not to mention, she didn't have much of a relationship with Bai Changzhu. Back then, he only met her through Song Ji-hyo's friends. In Song Ji-hyo's eyes, he was just a stranger.
It wasn't until later, as mentioned earlier, when Xu Zhixuan's camp and the Three Stars' camp officially declared war on each other, that Bai Changzhu realized who was the frog at the bottom of the well. Who was the insignificant character? It was him, Bai Changzhu. It was laughable that he wanted to use his power to humiliate Xu Zhixuan and make him a cuckold.
Especially when he asked his uncle for help, he was only half-heartedly rejected. He was even in despair. Fortunately, Xu Zhixuan was far away in China, so he still had a chance. He was also glad that he didn't use any tricks to win Song Ji-hyo back then. Therefore, if he could get Song Ji-hyo's forgiveness and get her to put in a good word for him in front of Xu Zhixuan, there might still be a chance for him to turn things around.
As a matter of fact, he used many of his connections to invite Song Ji-hyo, but without exception, all of them were rejected. This made him very anxious. Just as he was about to lose all hope, Jin Zaizhong received a movie. The person he was working with was none other than Song Ji-hyo. Bai Changzhu was overjoyed. He immediately wanted to enter the cast and crew to look for Song Ji-hyo.
Unfortunately, the first time he entered the cast, he was discovered by the bodyguards assigned to Song Ji-hyo's side and was immediately chased out. What a joke. What were the bodyguards doing? They were specially assigned to protect Song Ji-hyo. Their main goal was to compete with Bai Changzhu.
Seeing that this method didn't work, Song Ji-hyo was tightly protected, and he was blocked by the group of bodyguards. Fortunately, it was the cast and crew. Looking at the bodyguards' eyes, he was a little scared. Therefore, he came up with another plan. He decided to look for Song Ji-hyo at the wrap party. This method should work, right?
He thought it through well and did the right thing. He deliberately delayed his arrival so that the group of bodyguards wouldn't come out and cause trouble. However, when he saw Xu Zhixuan, who he was more afraid of than the bodyguards, Bai Changzhu really wanted to kneel down. Why was this happening?
At this moment, he even had the thought of running away. However, he was concerned about his reputation and couldn't do such a cowardly thing.
"Bai Changzhu?" Xu Zhixuan narrowed his eyes and approached step by step.
Bai Changzhu didn't know why, but his heart was beating like a drum. Even though he knew that Xu Zhixuan wouldn't do anything to him here, he was still very worried about his own safety. When he heard Xu Zhixuan call his name, he put on a sad face and forced a smile. "President Xu, hello. I'm Bai Changzhu from C-jeS Entertainment!"
"I know!" Xu Zhixuan walked in front of Bai Changzhu and nodded in response. He smiled and sized Bai Changzhu up. Seeing that he was sweating profusely, his lips were trembling, and his eyes didn't dare to meet his gaze. Especially his face, which was getting paler and paler. Xu Zhixuan suddenly laughed. His laughter was very bright and loud. Everyone in the private room quietly watched Xu Zhixuan laugh. Only in Bai Changzhu's eyes, Xu Zhixuan's laughter was so ear-piercing.
He knew what Xu Zhixuan was laughing about, but he couldn't refute it. If he could regret it, he definitely wouldn't have acted so rashly. At the very least, he should have carefully investigated Xu Zhixuan's information. However, there was no medicine for regret in this world.
"I heard that President Bai was very active in the Korean media when I went to China!"
Xu Zhixuan's words made everyone present look at Bai Changzhu with pitiful eyes. Back then, the so-called love triangle between Bai Changzhu, Xu Zhixuan, and Song Ji-hyo was a hot topic in Korea for a while. Everyone present was in contact with the entertainment industry, so naturally, they were very clear about it.
"I … I wouldn't dare!" Bai Changzhu was stared at by Xu Zhixuan. He suddenly felt a lot of pressure in his heart, and he stuttered a little when he spoke.
"Wouldn't dare?" Xu Zhixuan laughed again and said, "I think you're very brave. President Bai is actually trying to poach me. What else are you afraid of?"
"Mis … misunderstanding. It's all a misunderstanding!"
Bai Changzhu was about to cry. If there was a hole right now, he would really jump in and not come out. Even Kim Zaizhong, who was standing next to Bai Changzhu, had a strange expression on his face. It was the first time he saw his president acting like this.
One had to know that when Bai Changzhu faced Li Xiuman, he was so high-spirited. He did not put Li Xiuman in his eyes and successfully signed the contract with the three of them. Kim Zaizhong could clearly see Li Xiuman's expression at that time. She was unwilling to accept it.
But now, Bai Changzhu, who even Li Xiuman was afraid of, changed Bai Changzhu's attitude in front of Xu Zhixuan with just a few words. Kim Zaizhong still asked with concern, "President, how are you?" After all, Bai Changzhu was the one who brought the three of them out of S&M, so Kim Zaizhong was still very grateful.
"I'm … I'm fine!" Bai Changzhu knew that he could not take Kim Zaizhong's excuse because he knew that once he took it and left today, the consequences would be even more serious. At most, he could humiliate Xu Zhixuan a few times, and there might still be a chance to turn things around.
"Misunderstanding? This isn't a simple misunderstanding! "
Xu Zhixuan felt that Kim Zaijung's character wasn't bad, but he had chosen to follow the wrong person.
"Yes, President Xu, it's all my fault. Please tell me, I'm willing to compensate you!"
Seeing Bai Changzhu surrender so quickly, Xu Zhixuan suddenly lost interest. After all, in his previous life, he knew Bai Changzhu as Song Ji-hyo's boyfriend. In this life, he knew Bai Changzhu's backing, Yi Xin Society.
Unfortunately, looking at Bai Changzhu's current state, Yi Xin Society should have already abandoned him. Otherwise, Bai Changzhu wouldn't be in such a hurry. He even refused to leave after being humiliated by Xu Zhixuan in front of so many people. It was clear that he had nowhere to go.
"Transfer all the artists under your management company to the Actors' Guild, then withdraw from the industry!"
Xu Zhixuan was no longer interested in being a lackey. However, the artists under his management were not bad. Bai Changzhu understood that Xu Zhixuan wanted him to get out of the entertainment industry, but it was already good enough that he could keep his life.
"I understand. I'll go back and do it immediately!"
After speaking, Bai Changzhu was supported by Kim Zaizhong in his footsteps. In the private room, everyone looked at Xu Zhixuan in surprise. Xu Zhixuan didn't want to waste any more time. After toasting a few glasses of wine to the main cast, he left with Song Ji-hyo.
