Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

A look of embarrassment crossed Yu Zhen’s face, and he said with a smile, “Mr. Zhuang is right in his admonition; our Xian Xian really isn’t a child anymore. It’s just that her parents spoiled her too much, making her extremely willful and disrespectful. Please, Mr. Zhuang, in consideration of her parents, let’s not hold it against her.”

“I have no issues to hold against her personally because the ones she has offended are not just me, but all the students here,” Zhuang Liu said gravely.

“It’s time for lunch, and she has blocked the main gate. How are the other students supposed to eat? I remember Principal Zhang did indeed agree that the film crew could shoot inside the campus, but he also said that the filming absolutely must not disrupt the normal life of the students.”

Principal Zhang was actually in a tough position; Capital University was an institution of higher education and shouldn’t have been used as a filming location.

However, this TV show was funded by the Tao family, who donated a lot of money to the school every year. Moreover, students from Capital University often ended up working at the Tao family’s company after graduation. Refusing this request could potentially offend the Tao family.

In the end, Principal Zhang signed the agreement under significant pressure; if the film crew caused any trouble on campus, Principal Zhang would be in hot water.

Yu Zhen was well aware of this, so he tried to keep his trouble-prone niece within his sight as much as possible. However, he couldn’t always keep an eye on Yu Xian since he was the chief director and had many things to manage. Just when he was not paying attention, Yu Xian had wandered off with the photographer and makeup artist, and he had no idea where she had gone.

It wasn’t until a makeup artist called him, informing him that Yu Xian was involved in an altercation in the cafeteria, that he even knew where to start looking for her.

Yu Zhen said, “Mr. Zhuang, how about this? I invite you and Miss Rou for a meal as an apology, what do you think?”

Zhuang Liu frowned slightly and said harshly, “Didn’t you hear what I just said? Your niece has not just offended me, but all the students here. Her actions have disrupted the normal mealtime routine, so you should apologize to them.”

Yu Zhen glanced around and saw there were at least a few hundred students. If he had to buy them all a meal, that would cost tens of thousands, which he definitely didn’t want to spend.

“Uncle, why should you invite them to a meal?” Yu Xian said dissatisfiedly. “It’s clear they offended me. Why should we treat them to a meal?”

She stretched her neck out, revealing several red marks, “Look, this is what that woman did. She just had me on the ground, trying to strangle me to death.”

Li Li was not with Tan Rou and her group, and she was dressed very casually, not appearing to come from a wealthy family. Yu Zhen could stand up against Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu, but he was not afraid of this girl with no backing at all.

“Was it you who strangled my niece’s neck?” Yu Zhen said angrily. “Do you know how precious my niece’s neck is? She is about to endorse a necklace, and if you injure her neck, it could affect how the necklace looks when worn. Can you afford that?”

Li Li didn’t want to deal with him. Seeing how unreasonable this middle-aged man was and that such a person could become a famous director made her think the entertainment industry was really doomed.

“Hmph!” Tan Rou couldn’t stand seeing Li Li bullied and thus spoke, “Director Yu, it seems not only her parents have spoiled your Miss Yu, right?”

Yu Zhen asked, “Miss Rou, what do you mean by that?”

Tan Rou said, “I’ve also learned about the situation just now. According to eyewitnesses, it was your 27-year-old ‘child’ who first hit my friend with a tripod. If my friend hadn’t fought back, she would have been the one injured now.”

“Is this your friend?” Yu Zhen’s attitude suddenly changed. “I apologize, I didn’t realize earlier that this lady is a friend of Miss Rou. Then let me invite you both for a meal, and we can consider this matter settled.”
