The three of them turned around when they heard the call, and they saw a middle-aged man not far away under the pergola, looking at them. Vaguely, they could also see three or four young boys and girls sitting inside the pergola.

“Director Yang, I’ll go right away,” the leader, Brother Chen, replied and quickly walked towards the outside.

Meanwhile, Zhou Chao and Jiang Li had indeed found a beverage shop and sat down. They ordered two cups of sour plum soup.

“Brother Chao, how do you plan to handle what just happened?” Jiang Li wasn’t foolish and had a rough idea of why Zhou Chao hadn’t confronted the situation earlier. After all, there were quite a few people around, and if things had escalated, they might have ended up trending online tomorrow.

“Someone will come to handle it shortly,” Zhou Chao took a sip of the iced sour plum soup. He had already sent a message to Shang Ziqing, asking her to come here.

Zhou Chao wouldn’t let this slide easily. Being threatened like this and not retaliating would be a sign of weakness.

Shang Ziqing arrived quickly, accompanied by several executives like Xu Fu. Fortunately, there weren’t many people in the shop, so their presence didn’t attract much attention.

“Boss!” They respectfully greeted him.

“Have a seat, order whatever you like. It’s quite hot today.”

Shang Ziqing and the others exchanged glances and, in the end, Tian Gao got up to buy four cups of sour plum soup. After all, if the boss was having it, they shouldn’t order anything more expensive.

“Bringing you all here isn’t a big deal. Do you know about the film crew shooting in Guangdong Street?”

Zhou Chao’s words left them puzzled. After all, the executives weren’t following such matters closely. They exchanged glances, and Shang Ziqing spoke up, “Boss, these matters are handled by our subordinates, and we aren’t very informed about them.”

“Whether you know or not doesn’t matter. I don’t want to see them continue thriving in China. But we can take it step by step. For the first step, blacklist them from filming. Today, make sure they leave Hengdian. Can you handle that?” A cold glint flashed in Zhou Chao’s eyes, and Shang Ziqing and the others felt a sudden chill in the air, perhaps due to the iced sour plum soup.

“Boss, rest assured, I’ll arrange everything immediately!” Xu Fu quickly replied. The others didn’t say much either; Xu Fu was in charge of this sector.

“Good. You can also send people to investigate the whole situation. I won’t need to micromanage the rest.”

“Understood!” Shang Ziqing and the others realized that the boss was clearly upset with the film crew, or else he wouldn’t have given such a direct order to ban them from filming in Hengdian.

Zhou Chao nodded, and Shang Ziqing’s group left the beverage shop.

“Director Shang, why do you think the boss is so angry? I saw him chatting and laughing with the beautiful lady next to him just now, but then he directly ordered them to be blacklisted.”

“You’re asking me? How would I know? Xu Fu, send someone to investigate immediately, but don’t make it too conspicuous. Also, notify the subordinates to stop the filming. The boss said to take it slow,” Shang Ziqing replied, a trace of sternness in her eyes.

“Okay!” Xu Fu nodded and made the necessary arrangements. By the time they returned to the company, the situation had been thoroughly investigated.

When the group returned to the company, the subordinates had already thoroughly investigated the matter.

“Xiao Yang, you mentioned that the people from this film crew smashed the mobile phone of the beautiful lady who was with the boss and even threatened the boss?” Xu Fu furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at his subordinate.

“Yes, that’s right. But the exact content of what was said isn’t very clear. However, I found a video from the scene. Director Xu, take a look!” Xiao Yang handed his phone to Xu Fu.

Xu Fu watched the video, and the more he watched, the angrier he became. Especially the arrogant expression of the leader and the words of the onlookers at the end. Xu Fu was so furious that he threw his phone on the ground.

“Director Xu, my phone!!” Xiao Yang felt like his heart was breaking.

After regaining his composure, Xu Fu looked somewhat embarrassed as he addressed his subordinate, “Wait a moment, go buy a new one, whatever type you like. You can report it to the finance department for reimbursement later.”

Upon hearing this, a smile instantly appeared on Xiao Yang’s face.

“By the way, what’s the story with that film crew?”

“That small crew is shooting a web series, not very well-known. They only arrived in Hengdian a few days ago. From what I gathered, it’s sponsored by the second generation of someone from a TV station, all in an attempt to promote the female lead.”

Xu Fu nodded in response. He wasn’t afraid of the second generation of that TV station. “I see. Go send someone to chase them out of Hengdian. And, you should also send the video you just showed me to my phone.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yang glanced at his shattered phone, hoping it could still function. He picked up the phone and quickly left Xu Fu’s office.

Not long after, Xu Fu received the information sent by Xiao Yang. Holding his phone, he made his way to the office of Shang Ziqing.

“Director Shang, we’ve cleared things up,” Xu Fu got straight to the point as he entered.

“What happened?”

Xu Fu didn’t beat around the bush and explained the whole situation in detail. “By the way, take a look at this video,” Xu Fu said, preparing to hand the phone to Shang Ziqing. However, considering what had happened earlier, he decided to forward the video to her.

Indeed, Xu Fu’s intuition was correct. While Shang Ziqing didn’t smash her phone, she did slam her hand down hard on the table in frustration.
