Chapter 213 Hong Kong Media Reports
Fu Yibai leaned back on the sofa, his gaze fixed on the hunched back, his face expressionless.
"Yang Rong".
He spoke, but his voice was not loud.
Yang Rong turned her head and met his gaze, her eyes filled with a hint of confusion.
"You decide this matter."
Fu Yibai said.
"Let him get up, or let him continue kneeling, it's fine either way."
Yang Rong was taken aback.
She looked down at the yellow dog kneeling on the ground, then looked up at Fu Yibai, and her lips moved slightly.
All eyes in the room were on her.
Get up.
Her voice was very soft, but everyone in the quiet room could hear it clearly.
The yellow dog lay motionless on the ground, as if it hadn't reacted yet.
"Get up."
The yellow dog slowly straightened up, its movements a little stiff as it lifted its knees off the carpet.
He stood there, head down, his gaze fixed on his toes, his expression ashen.
"Yang Sheng".
Fu Yibai turned to Yang Shoucheng.
"Let him issue a public apology tomorrow, and that'll be the end of it."
But I hope there won't be a next time.
Yang Shoucheng nodded, his expression relaxing slightly.
"Don't worry, Mr. Fu, this won't happen again."
He gestured with his chin toward the yellow dog.
"You go back first."
The yellow dog turned and walked away quickly, as if it were fleeing.
Yang Shoucheng took out a box of cigars from his pocket, pulled one out, and handed it over.
"Mr. Fu?"
"I don't smoke."
Yang Shoucheng put the cigar back, leaned back in his chair, and sighed.
"Mr. Fu, this matter was due to my poor management."
Regarding "Connected," I will reshoot the scenes with the yellow dog, so it won't affect the schedule.
Fu Yibai nodded.
"Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Yang."
"Of course."
Yang Shoucheng stood up and extended his hand.
"Then I won't disturb Miss Yang's rest any longer. I'll have someone send some tonics over tomorrow."
Fu Yibai shook hands with him.
"Mr. Yang, you're too kind."
Yang Shoucheng left with Huo Wenxi.
The dull thud of leather shoes on the carpet echoed down the corridor, fading into the distance.
The room fell silent again.
Guo Zhenni stood at the door, glanced at the two of them, quietly retreated, and closed the door behind her.
Yang Rong sat on the sofa, half of her face covered by an ice pack, her eyes staring straight ahead, unsure of where to look.
"Mr. Fu."
"Um?"
"thank you."
"You're welcome. You're a company employee, so the company will naturally stand up for you if you've been wronged."
Yang Rong didn't say anything more.
In the past, when I was in other companies, I could only endure the grievances myself. At most, I would complain to my agent, but in the end, nothing would come of it.
But things are different now.
This person sat here, shielding her from all trouble.
Yang Rong's eyes stung again.
Fu Yibai stood up.
Get some rest.
"You don't need to go to the film set tomorrow. I'll have someone tell Chen Musheng."
"But……"
"No buts."
Fu Yibai's voice wasn't loud, but Yang Rong's words were stuck in her throat, unable to come out.
She watched his retreating figure walk to the door, and then suddenly spoke.
"Mr. Fu."
Fu Yibai stopped and turned to look at her.
"Will you... come to see me again tomorrow?"
The moment the words left her mouth, her face flushed red, the blush spreading from her ears to her neck.
Fu Yibai looked at her without saying anything.
Yang Rong wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.
"I'll come again after filming finishes tomorrow."
Yang Rong looked up; he had already pushed the door open and left. The door closed behind him with a click.
She sat on the sofa and stared at the door for a long time.
The news spread throughout the Hong Kong entertainment industry early the next morning.
The entertainment section of a certain newspaper occupied half of its front page with a headline in bold, large font.
[In a fit of rage for a woman, he threatened a yellow dog to kneel and apologize.]
The accompanying photo was a blurry picture of the yellow dog as it left through the side door of the hotel, its back hunched and its hat pulled low.
The article thoroughly explained the cause and effect, from the yellow dog harassing Yang Rong on set, to Fu Yibai rushing over from the "Witch" crew overnight, and then to Yang Shoucheng personally mediating the situation.
The words carried a hint of sourness, saying, "Big directors from the mainland can now wield considerable influence in Hong Kong."
"That yellow dog should have been dealt with a long time ago."
"Even if the owner of Chenxi came in person to demand an explanation, Yang Sheng would still have to give him face."
"Nonsense, they own the cinema chains. Do Hong Kong films have to cater to their whims if they want to enter the mainland market?"
"If you ask me, he did well. That yellow dog has been bullying men and women on set for years, and nobody did anything about it. Now he's met his match, he deserves it."
Inside the tea restaurant, several young people were scrolling through news on their phones, their voices hushed.
On a certain TV station's midday entertainment news program, the anchor was broadcasting in his usual Cantonese.
"A conflict occurred on the set of 'Connected' yesterday, when veteran actor Huang Gou and mainland actress Yang Rong got into a verbal altercation, which escalated into a physical fight."
After the incident escalated, Yang Shoucheng, chairman of Eagle King Group, personally intervened to mediate, and Huang Gou apologized to Yang Rong in person that evening.
It is reported that Fu Yibai, the owner and director of Chenxi Media, was also present to witness the apology process.
The scene cuts to the back of the yellow dog as it leaves the hotel; it walks quickly and doesn't look up the entire time.
The anchor continued,
"Our reporter tried to contact Huang Gou himself multiple times, but the phone went unanswered."
Ms. Yang Rong's side stated that they have accepted the apology and will not pursue the matter further.
