"Ha, Xuefei, you still remember me?"

The middle-aged man was momentarily stunned. His name was Zheng Liancheng, and he was also a CEO, with a company worth over a billion. Although Zhou Xuefei was his goddaughter, that was before her fame became significant a couple of years ago.

Later, as Zhou Xuefei's fame grew, she started to keep a respectful distance from him, unlike before when she would come at his beck and call, allowing him to play around.

Today, Zhou Xuefei's enthusiasm surprised Zheng Liancheng but also made him feel quite comfortable. He reached out and touched Zhou Xuefei's chest lightly, noticing she didn't avoid it, which made him feel even better.

Zhou Xuefei hugged Zheng Liancheng tightly again, coquettishly saying, "Godfather, what are you saying? I'm your goddaughter, just been busy lately and couldn't come to see you, but you've always been on my mind."

Zheng Liancheng laughed heartily again, saying, "What's going on here?"

Zhou Xuefei looked at Miao Xuanxuan and Xiao Yingying, feigning grievance, and said, "I had a misunderstanding with President Miao and President Xiao, which upset them. It's all my fault."

Zhou Xuefei, having been in the entertainment industry for more than a day or two, naturally knew that even if Zheng Liancheng stood up for her, she couldn't afford to offend Miao Xuanxuan and Xiao Yingying, so she intentionally put on such a posture.

Zheng Liancheng realized that Zhou Xuefei wanted him to stand up for her, but he didn't take it seriously, especially since Zhou Xuefei was quite satisfying in bed, a woman he was reluctant to let go of.

Patting Zhou Xuefei's arm, Zheng Liancheng smiled and said, "Godfather will mediate for you."

"Thank you, Godfather." Zhou Xuefei immediately smiled, hugging Zheng Liancheng's arm even tighter.

Zheng Liancheng approached Miao Xuanxuan and Xiao Yingying, saying, "President Miao, President Xiao, ha... I heard from my goddaughter that she offended you two. Xuefei, quickly apologize to these presidents!"

Zhou Xuefei hurriedly bowed to Miao Xuanxuan and Xiao Yingying, saying, "President Miao, President Xiao, I'm sorry, it was my fault. Please, be magnanimous and forgive me."

Miao Xuanxuan said flatly, "That won't be necessary."

Zheng Liancheng secretly frowned; Miao Xuanxuan's attitude was not one of letting it go. He immediately said sternly to Zhou Xuefei, "Xuefei, what did you do to offend these presidents? No hiding the truth."

Zhou Xuefei recounted the conflict with Chen Xinran, selectively emphasizing parts, just saying she was guiding Chen Xinran a bit too harshly, about eighty percent true, twenty percent embellished, shifting much of her responsibility.

Zheng Liancheng looked at Chen Xinran and Lu Yaobing, feeling that this wasn't a major issue. Even if Chen Xinran was someone Miao Xuanxuan and Xiao Yingying valued, he thought his influence could downplay the situation.

With a stern face, Zheng Liancheng said to Zhou Xuefei, "You really shouldn't have done that. Even if Chen Xinran is new, she's someone President Miao and President Xiao value. You can't bully newbies."

"Yes, yes, I'll never do it again. I really didn't know President Miao and President Xiao valued Xinran so much, or I wouldn't have dared treat her like that." Zhou Xuefei's face was full of regret.

Zheng Liancheng finally laughed heartily and said, "President Miao, President Xiao, you see, Xuefei has apologized and knows she was wrong. Can you spare her on my behalf? The young girl was insensible; I'll have drinks to apologize to you both."

Miao Xuanxuan said plainly, "Thank you for your kindness, President Zheng, but we'll handle this."

Zheng Liancheng frowned, understanding Miao Xuanxuan's words meant refusal, saying, "President Miao, President Xiao, isn't this quite normal in the entertainment industry? You don't have to be so absolute over such a small issue, do you?"

Xiao Yingying lifted her chin and said, "President Zheng, you'd better not get involved in this."

Zheng Liancheng's frown deepened, saying, "You're not even considering my face?"

Miao Xuanxuan still said flatly, "This isn't about face. Some actions require accountability."

This was clearly disregarding his face, leaving Zheng Liancheng quite embarrassed. Zhou Xuefei hadn't expected even with Zheng Liancheng speaking, Miao Xuanxuan and Xiao Yingying wouldn't budge, leaving her frustrated as well. Not letting down her acting skills, she reddened her eyes, appearing extremely wronged, gently shook Zheng Liancheng's arm, choking back tears, "Godfather, if President Miao and President Xiao decided this way, then I won't say anything further, let's just go."

If Zheng Liancheng left now, where would his face be? Especially in such a setting, not only were they and the involved parties there, but there were also others there for the spectacle. Although none were ordinary people, the instinct to watch drama is innate, and even with status changes, this nature remains.

"President Miao, President Xiao, surely you're not disregarding my face?" Zheng Liancheng looked at Miao Xuanxuan and Xiao Yingying, his tone now fiery.

Miao Xuanxuan, seeing Zheng Liancheng's obstinacy, his face darkened, saying, "President Zheng, I advise you not to get involved in this. We've decided, and no matter who pleads, it's useless, I definitely won't use the two of them."
