Xiao Xun released the agent's shoulder and turned to look at the boss, "Are you Yu Shiwen's boss?"
The boss nodded suspiciously. He looked at the young man standing before him, neither servile nor overbearing, mistaking him for a member of some local organization, "That's right, you are...?"
"Nothing, just passing by."
Upon hearing this, the boss's face immediately drooped, "If you're just passing by, hurry up and leave, don't you know..."
Xiao Xun interrupted him expressionlessly, his tone icy, "I have something I want to ask you."
The boss assumed the other party was just an ordinary fan, perhaps with some money, and didn't put him in his eyes at all.
"You? And you want to ask me questions? You're not worthy! Get lost."
"Xiao Xun, why are you here?"
Before Xiao Xun could turn around, the boss's mouth immediately perked up, and he greeted them with a smile, "Director Zhao, why are you here in person?"
"Didn't they say Yu Shiwen was missing? Has she been found?"
"She's been found, it was just a small joke."
Xiao Xun turned around, "This joke isn't funny at all."
The boss frowned, his expression changing drastically, "What are you still doing here, you brat?"
Zhao Yu Man said to the boss, "This is my friend."
The boss immediately changed his tune, "So you're Director Zhao's friend. No wonder you're so well-mannered and imposing."
Zhao Yu Man walked up to Xiao Xun, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Xun glanced at the people present, then said to Zhao Yu Man, "It's not convenient to talk here. Let's go into the car to talk!"
The two got into the car, and the others gathered their attention.
"I heard that the chairman of Millennium Group, Zhao Jinhai, is not in good health. Is that true?"
Zhao Yu Man nodded, "Is there any falsehood to that? Why are you suddenly concerned about my father's health?"
"Are you sure your father is not in good health?"
Zhao Yu Man looked puzzled, "What kind of question is that? As children, how can we wish our parents ill health? If you don't believe me, I can take you to see him."
"No need for that, I'm not familiar with him, it's just you..."
As Xiao Xun spoke, he looked Zhao Yu Man up and down. Zhao Yu Man was unnerved by Xiao Xun's gaze, "What kind of look is that? What exactly do you want?"
"Do you have any special kinks?"
"What kinks?"
Xiao Xun didn't know how to articulate it, "That..."
"Director Xiao, didn't you say tonight that we are friends? Just say what you have to say, there's nothing we can't talk about."
Xiao Xun glanced out the car window, ensuring no one was paying attention, and asked solemnly, "You don't have a partner, do you like women?"
"Nonsense, you're the one who likes women."
Xiao Xun nodded, "That's right! I like women."
Zhao Yu Man frowned, "Why are you suddenly asking these questions?"
Xiao Xun recounted what had happened on the road. Zhao Yu Man frowned, "That's strange."
"Does the organizer have other companies besides yours?"
"Your question seems a bit off. There's only one organizer. If there were more, would it still be called the organizer?"
Xiao Xun suddenly realized, "That's true."
"How about this! You come to the appreciation dinner tonight too. I want to see what's going on."
After the concert ended, there was a fervent reaction. Due to regulations, it had to end at the scheduled time.
The appreciation dinner was held at the Fengming Restaurant, with the organizers and entertainment companies all in attendance.
The venue was also crowded with reporters and fans, all eager to catch a glimpse of the superstar.
As soon as the concert ended, Yu Shiwen looked for Xiao Xun, afraid he would leave without her. If she couldn't find Xiao Xun when she came out, Yu Shiwen might sneak away through the fire escape again.
The group arrived at the Fengming Restaurant, where the largest private room was filled with abundant food and drinks.
Yu Shiwen had initially said she wouldn't drink, but someone started a commotion, saying, "Not drinking is disrespecting Millennium Group."
Xiao Xun stood up and looked towards the source of the voice, asking coldly, "Who said that?"
Zhao Yu Man also waved her hand, signaling Xiao Xun to sit down, and then said to everyone, "Since Miss Yu is not comfortable drinking, let her agent represent her."
The agent's face changed, and he waved his hands, "I also have a low tolerance for alcohol, and I'm allergic to alcohol."
The middle-aged man beside Zhao Yu Man slammed the table and pointed at the agent, "Don't play such games. It's an honor for you to be asked to drink. If you can't even drink, what kind of agent are you?"
The agent looked towards the boss, who had his head bowed, rubbing his neck, lost in thought.
Xiao Xun crossed his arms and looked at the agent, "Hey? Agent, I have a question for you."
The agent thought Xiao Xun was going to stand up for him and quickly said softly, "Director Xiao, please speak."
"Are you a man or a woman?"
Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter. The agent's face darkened, "Director Xiao is quite a joker. Of course I'm a man, a real man."
At this moment, someone from another table said, "The eunuchs in the palace also claim to be men."
"Haha..."
The entire room erupted in laughter. The agent gritted his teeth, swallowed, and picked up the wine glass, "Fine, I'll drink for her."
"You're really going to drink now, but you refused earlier. You need to penalize yourself with three drinks first."
The agent smiled, "Three drinks, it is."
Xiao Xun handed him a bottle of red wine, "Here, drink this."
"Xiao Xun, don't push it too far."
Xiao Xun didn't get angry. He smiled at everyone, "Oh? They curse you, and you don't even retort, but I ask you to drink a bottle of wine, and you're unhappy. What's going on? Is there something in it? Do you want me to call the police and have them take it for testing?"
The agent reached out, "No, I'll drink it. It's just wine, I'll drink..."
As he spoke, he glanced at the man opposite him. Xiao Xun saw all of this and realized he had found the main culprit.
Xiao Xun quietly asked Zhao Yu Man next to him, "Who is the fourth person to your left?"
Zhao Yu Man glanced over and said to Xiao Xun, "Director Liu from the company's operations department. What's wrong?"
"Nothing, just asking."
By the time the agent drank his second glass, he was already feeling dizzy.
"It seems this agent also has a low tolerance for alcohol. However, our Millennium Group cannot back down. They paid three, so we must return three."
He then placed the half-empty bottle of red wine in front of Director Liu, "You are the Operations Director of Millennium Group and the overall person in charge of this event. You must drink."
Director Liu tilted his head and looked at Xiao Xun, "What do you think you are? You think I'll drink just because you tell me to?"
Zhao Yu Man's face turned cold. Xiao Xun was now the savior of the group. Anyone who dared to disrespect him was an enemy of the group. "If you don't drink, you don't have to come tomorrow."
Director Liu stood up, "Director Zhao, I have served Millennium Group diligently."
"Diligently served, yet you're afraid to drink a glass of wine? Did you spike the drink?"
Director Liu pointed at Xiao Xun, "Fine, you wait."
Saying that, he picked up the wine bottle, drank half of the red wine, and poured the rest on himself, "Are you satisfied now!"
Then he started to walk out. Xiao Xun stood up and stopped him, "Director Liu, where are you going?"
"You don't need to worry about me. You're not part of Millennium Group."
Xiao Xun said to the security guards at the door, "Miss Yu Shiwen's agent and our Director Liu are both drunk. Take them to rest. One room will suffice."
The security guards, being familiar with Xiao Xun, naturally recognized him, "Yes!"
Xiao Xun turned to the crowd and said, "Everyone, please eat and drink well!"
He acted as if he were the boss of the organizer. When he sat next to Zhao Yu Man, she looked at him and said, "Director Xiao, judging by your tone, you seem to really like our Millennium Group. Would you like to join us?"
"That will be all. I was just joking."
Zhao Yu Man's secretary, being very observant, immediately interjected, "Director Xiao, it's popular now to have honorary employees. How about giving you the title of honorary director?"
Xiao Xun smiled and said, "That would be fine too. I'm happy even without any payment."
Yu Shiwen walked over with a glass of juice, "Thank you so much today. I'd like to toast you."
Xiao Xun stood up, holding his glass, "You're welcome. It's my honor to be able to help a big star like you."
After the appreciation dinner dispersed, security guards rushed over and whispered something to Zhao Yu Man. Zhao Yu Man frowned, "Is that true?"
The security guard nodded and glanced at Xiao Xun again.
Xiao Xun asked Zhao Yu Man, "What happened?"
"You probably guessed it. The wine did have something in it. Anyway, let's not talk about it, it's too disgusting."
Xiao Xun shook his head helplessly, "Since there's nothing else for me here, I'll be leaving!"
"Should I call a designated driver for you?"
"No need, I didn't drink. The mention of designated drivers gives me a headache now."
Zhao Yu Man smiled and said nothing more.
At this moment, Yu Shiwen walked over, "Director Xiao, can I add you as a friend?"
"Of course. But please don't call me 'Director Xiao.' I'm just running a small business, not a director, at most a small boss. Just call me Xiao Xun."
Yu Shiwen smiled, "If there's an opportunity, I look forward to meeting you again."
"Alright!"
As they left the Fengming Restaurant, many reporters and fans were still waiting.
Xiao Xun drove home without looking back.
