Wait a moment… He was the sponsor of ‘Love in the Summer’? Also, judging from his tone, why did it sound as if Su Tiantian had ended up getting into a relationship with Liu Xinlei? While she was dwelling in her thoughts, a coquettish voice was heard from afar. “CEO Liu!”
Ning Meng had only just come out of her car when she saw Su Tiantian rushing over. Su Tiantian looked at Liu Xinlei with eager eyes. However, upon drawing closer and seeing that it was Ning Meng by his side, her eyes turned cold. Liu Xinlei held her waist and groped her butt while Ning Meng was not looking. “Quick, give Miss Ning a greeting.”
Su Tiantian clenched her fingers, her face filled with embarrassment. Li Yichen had dumped her, and she was being bullied by Director Liu. She had no choice but to hop on to Liu Xinlei who had feelings for her although she looked down on him. Liu Xinlei knew about the dispute between Ning Meng and her, but yet, he still wanted her to lower herself and greet Ning Meng first?! She just stood there, seething in anger.
Ning Meng did not want to give her any attention at all. The Su Tiantian right now was just a paper tiger. She may seem powerful on the outside, but in reality, she was weak on the inside. Ever since she had started the whole online war on Weibo and tarnished her own name, she had lost all her threatening power. Ning Meng laughed. “Liu Xinlei, if your lady refuses, let’s not force her. I’ll make a move first!”
After she had said this, she nodded at Su Tiantian and walked away.
Liu Xinlei stood behind Su Tiantian. He used to swoon over her, but after he had succeeded in his pursuit, he looked down on her instead. He quietly gave her a warning. “You should learn your place! Do you think you’re like before? If you offend Ning Meng, her husband will tear us into pieces. The reason I’m sponsoring your TV drama is because she is not calculative over your friction with her, but there are still risks. Do you understand?”
Su Tiantian lowered her head in resentment. “Understood.”
She looked at her toes. Her heart felt like a barren desert. Things should not have ended this way. She had always had a smooth-sailing life. How did she end up this way?

Ning Meng sped up her pace. As she headed out of the parking lot and walked toward Studio City, she saw two old folks being held back by the security guards. “This is not a place where you can enter as you please. You need a work permit to go in there!”
The old couple hesitated before yelling, “We’re just here to look for our daughter. Do we need work permits just for that?”
The security guard nodded. “Yes! Unless you give her a call and ask her to come here and pick you up.”
Ning Meng ignored this incident. Many reporters were willing to act this way to gain some inside scoops. She took out her work permit and went into Studio City. While on her way toward the production company for ‘The Unforgettable First Crush’, Ning Meng checked her phone as it was still quite a journey to her destination. As expected, the Happy Idiots group chat was as lively as ever.
Qi Shan: [We’ve not gone on a date for so long. Why’s your dad guarding you so strictly? @Zhen Shanmei]
Zhen Shanmei: [My dad would not let me play with idiots.]
Qi Shan: [??]
Qi Shan: [I went to your house yesterday, but when I arrived at your porch, your dad said that you had gone to sleep. You were in bed by seven? That early?]
Zhen Shanmei: [I wasn’t sleeping! My dad did not tell me that you came by either!]
Qi Shan: [?]
Seeing them in this state, Ning Meng sent a text: [This is your solution. 00 5+u(Pi)=d. @Qi Shan]
Qi Shan: [??]
Ning Meng: [Infinitely stupid.]
Qi Shan: [!!! Why do you always find opportunities to roast people?]
