it seniors or juniors—you need to show respect and support them accordingly. And maintain good relationships with your peers, understand""I know, teacher. Don't worry, my temper is pretty good, I can...Chapter 72

Cai Xiaojing saw for the first time that Warm's usually good temper was so sharp when she spoke to Ye Feimo. In her eyes, Warm was kind and simple, and as long as one didn't provoke her, she really was easy to get along with.

She always brought joy to people.

Even though she often argued with Ye Feimo and he would coldly mock her from time to time, she would cheerfully retaliate, lovable and clever. This was the first time Cai Xiaojing had seen Warm get angry.

The petulant action of wiping tears and snot randomly was inexplicably adorable.

"Mr. Ye, I received a call from Mr. Zhang. He said that Xu Yongchang visited the set today afternoon and took a fancy to Warm. In the evening, he used an excuse to invite everyone from the crew for dinner, where he got several of them drunk. Then without saying anything else, he brought them to KTV. Since Warm and the others didn't know about Young Master Xu's intentions, I received a call when he was worried that Warm would suffer losses, so I rushed over to the bar but along the way you called me here. You really misunderstood Warm," Cai Xiaojing said.

Warm gave an icy snort. "Senior Xiaojing, there's no need for you to explain for me. If he didn't misunderstand me, it was because I saw Young Master Xu as handsome and rich and attached myself to him like a lapdog, so it was my fault for suffering losses and being cheap; he didn't misunderstand."

Warm felt that the version of herself who had thrown herself into Ye Feimo's arms upon seeing him just now was foolish beyond measure.

"Warm, shut up and say less," Cai Xiaojing pulled her hand slightly to signal her not to speak. Ye Feimo's face turned completely black; Warm was also stubborn and after being spoken to like that by Ye Feimo, she wouldn't have said a single good word for him.

Ye Feimo rose from his seat with a grim look and left through the door, slamming it shut loudly. The sound reverberated so much that it seemed as if the floor was shaking; Warm gave two indifferent snorts, "Is he the only one who can slam doors I can too."

Warm pouted, feeling infinitely aggrieved in her heart. She had been bullied, at least could he console her a little Alright, she did indeed neglect things somewhat, but how was she to know it would turn out this way

Cai Xiaojing glared at her and asked, "Can you now argue back with him Does this mean that you're fine"

"Who said I'm fine Senior Xiaojing, look at my face, then look at my shoulder..." Warm decisively pulled open her clothes to show off her wound, a cuteness that made Cai Xiaojing's mood not as bad anymore.

This girl, Warm, has good resilience and an inherently optimistic attitude. When encountering such matters, other girls might take days to recover, always feeling afraid and unable to forget it, but she was smiling just hours later.

Earlier, Cai Xiaojing had been extremely worried, but seeing her like this now reassured her greatly.

Managing an artist like her is the most comfortable for a manager.

She’s one of those people who can quickly bounce back from any significant blow, and such a disposition suits the dramatic ups and downs of the entertainment industry well. It also makes Cai Xiaojing worry less about her.

Cai Xiaojing doesn't like overly sensitive women, just as Han Bi used to be years ago—soft and weak, feeling wronged after a minor setback as if the whole world owed her something.

"You’re really something. Seeing you now seems like you’ve forgotten about the danger just now" Cai Xiaojing felt heart-stopping even recalling it herself; is Warm too thick-skinned or genuinely not bothered

The photos from earlier, if released, would have half her body exposed...

"Rest assured, Chairman Ye won’t let something like this happen," Cai Xiaojing said. Unless a newspaper wants to go out of business, who would risk it for an actress with no great fame and not much news value

Warm felt much more at ease after hearing that.

Thinking about it now was still terrifying, but she had no danger here at home. Warm smiled brightly; she needed to forget this incident. There's nothing one can't face, remembering only makes her feel bad.

"In short, as long as you're fine, we'll handle the rest."

"I'm not the one with an issue," Warmth said with a gentle smile. "I threw a bottle at that pig and stabbed him twice with the broken glass. I regret it; back then, my anger made me blind. If given another chance, I would've stuck the glass in his groin."

Cai Xiao Jing: "... "

She's really ruthless!

One can't tell from her soft and weak appearance that she has such explosive power. Impressive.

"Wait a moment! If Brother Bear doesn’t let it go, you’ll get sued," Cai Xiao Jing cried out in alarm as she whacked Warmth’s thigh. "Why are you so impulsive"

"That pig wanted to force himself on me in front of everyone. With so many witnesses around, if I hadn't stabbed him, he would’ve been lucky!" Warmth retorted, unable to help herself. She didn’t know where she had gotten the courage back then to act so rashly. It was her first time hurting someone, and it left her feeling terrible; nevertheless, she didn’t have time to think about that at the moment. So, people’s violence and bloodlust are born of necessity.

"You… Never mind. Let's see what happens tomorrow," Cai Xiao Jing said, glancing back at Warmth again. "And you shouldn't talk to General Manager Ye like this in the future."

"Why can’t I speak to him this way Didn’t you hear how he talked about me He called me pretentious and cheap, saying that I was happy to go out with men for meals and singing. Which of his eyes saw all that happen And then he said such ugly things—I shouldn’t be allowed to defend myself against them" Warmth argued heatedly, indignant anger gleaming in her fox-like eyes. Whenever she thought about Ye Nimo’s words, it made her uncomfortable. "Besides, I’ve always talked to him this way."

"He isn't targeting you," Cai Xiao Jing struggled to explain the situation to Warmth. Although Ye Nimo's insults were cruel and excessive, they weren’t entirely aimed at Warmth. "General Manager Ye has seen too many girls who will do anything to climb up the ranks. Besides, he was once… cough, in any case, he isn't deliberately targeting you; it’s just that he harbors a prejudice against female entertainers, and such an incident stirs unpleasant memories for him. You shouldn’t confront him like this again."

"I don’t have masochistic tendencies," Warmth muttered to herself. "Who was pretentious I’m already pure and high-minded! He eats my meals every day and still criticizes me as cheap—I’ve been very patient with his attitude. Do you think any woman can endure his foul temper When he’s in a bad mood, why should I be the one who gets vented on If he's going to speak so unkindly, then there's no reason for him to forbid me from speaking."

Cai Xiaojing rubbed her forehead, tears welling up. Warm was so stubborn and headstrong that she wanted to bang her head against a brick wall. As her agent, Cai Xiaojing absolutely did not want her to confront her financial backers.

"Listen, my dear girl, I'll tell you a story. There once was a female artist who was kept by a wealthy businessman. The businessman treated her very well and made her the queen of the entertainment world, turning her into a top star. One day, while shopping, she saw a piece of Cartier jewelry that she liked and immediately called the businessman to come pay for it. He was in the middle of an extremely important deal and got really upset when he was interrupted by her. When he arrived at the jewelry store, he slapped her twice and bought the item as a breakup fee. From then on, the female artist declined rapidly in popularity because no one supported her anymore, leading to her downfall."

Cai Xiaojing smiled warmly at Warm, believing that she was smart enough to understand.

She had already been rather subtle with this.

Hence when Cai Xiaojing looked at Warm expectantly and hopefully, she hoped dearly for Warm to say, "Dear Xiao Jing姐, I get it."

But instead, Warm looked bewildered.

Cai Xiaojing was in tears again.

Warm hesitated and asked, "What does this have to do with me"

"Don't you see that your relationship with Mr. Ye is just like the female artist's relationship with the businessman" Cai Xiaojing explained pointedly.

Having recently cried, Warm's eyes were still red and puffy. At this moment, she blinked in a strange manner that was slow and cartoon-like. Cai Xiaojing found it particularly difficult to understand as Warm mumbled to herself, "So Ye Feimi actually kept me"

Cai Xiaojing gently stroked her head. "Good girl, you've finally figured this out. From now on, be more obedient and don't talk back to your benefactor."

Warm: "..."

Sister Xiao Jing, you and Ye Feimi must have some kind of blood relation... Oh no, the way you two speak is almost identical...n smiled faintly. "Now that you’ve made me aware of what happened in the past, I can finally put to rest many long-held doubts. As for other matters, I don't want to pursue them further; neither do yo...
