57: Chapter 57 The Boss is Being Bullied? Shen Tian's Fury!

Walking out of the gymnasium, the night wind hit them in the face.

It was early February in Jingzhou, and the temperature at night had already dropped below zero.

Chu Yi shivered and leaned in closer to Song Qian.

Although her pink skirt looked nice, it was truly not suitable for this weather.

"Cold, right?" Song Qian glanced at her.

"It's okay," Chu Yi said, though her teeth were chattering slightly.

Su Bai was walking in front and was about to say something when his phone rang.

He took it out and saw it was Shen Tian.

As he answered, she immediately demanded, "Boss, did someone bully you at Jingzhou University just now?!"

Su Bai was stunned for a moment.

"How did you know?"

"I have my sources!" Shen Tian's tone was sharp.

"I've already heard the details. That idiot General Manager Zhou Zhaolong, and that school board member with the surname Wang, actually tried to grab you in front of so many people?"

Su Bai leaned against the railing on the side of the road.

"It's fine, it's already been resolved."

"Resolved?" Shen Tian's voice rose an octave.

"Boss, you are my boss! You were bullied on the turf of Jingzhou University, and you expect me, as your subordinate, to just let it go?"

Su Bai was silent for two seconds.

"What do you want to do?"

Shen Tian snorted coldly.

"Naturally, I am going to do what a subordinate should do!"

"Jingzhou University dares to provoke you, and they still want my people to give them face? In their dreams!!"

Then she hung up the phone.

Su Bai looked at his phone screen and shook his head helplessly.

Chu Yi leaned in.

"Who was that?"

"Just a friend." Su Bai put his phone away.

Chu Yi blinked, wanting to ask more, but Song Qian pulled her back.

Su Bai looked at Song Qian, his tone carrying a hint of apology.

"Sister Qian, I'm sorry." He said helplessly, "Diliyereza might have to leave."

He knew how much effort Song Qian had put into this gala.

As the Deputy Minister of the Arts Department, she had spent a whole month preparing and had finally managed to invite Diliyereza, but he understood Shen Tian's personality...

Song Qian looked at him, silent for a few seconds.

Then she nodded.

"It's fine." She said, her voice very calm.

Before Su Bai could explain, Song Qian's phone rang.

She answered, listened for a few moments, and her expression changed slightly.

"Okay, I understand." She hung up and looked at Su Bai.

"Diliyereza's assistant called to say that something came up, and she won't be attending tonight's gala."

Chu Yi's mouth fell open.

"She's not attending? Why?"

Song Qian looked at Su Bai.

She recalled the phone call Su Bai had just taken; one second he said, "Diliyereza might have to leave," and the next second, she had actually left!

She vaguely guessed what had happened, but she didn't ask.

Baiye Entertainment, Shen Tian's office.

After hanging up, Shen Tian immediately dialed another number.

The phone rang twice before it was answered on the other end.

"General Manager Shen?" Diliyereza's voice came through, carrying a hint of confusion, "Are you looking for me?"

"Reza," Shen Tian said, "Where are you right now?"

"At Jingzhou University." Diliyereza said, "I was just about to enter the auditorium; the gala is about to start."

"Don't go in." Shen Tian said, "Come back to the company now."

Diliyereza was stunned for a moment.

"Back to the company? But the gala..."

"We're not going." Shen Tian's tone was unquestionable, "We won't be serving Jingzhou University's gala anymore!"

Diliyereza was silent for a second.

Then she said, "Understood, General Manager Shen."

Hanging up, she looked at her assistant beside her.

"Let's go, back to the company."

The assistant was stunned.

"Sister Reza, but the gala is starting soon, the organizers..."

"We're not going." Diliyereza stood up and picked up the coat lying next to her.

"It's General Manager Shen's decision." She said calmly.

The assistant wanted to say more, but Diliyereza had already pushed the door open and walked out.

Outside the lounge, several Student Union members in charge of reception were waiting.

Seeing Diliyereza come out, they hurried to greet her.

"Sister Reza, the gala is about to start, I'll take you to the backstage..."

"No need." Diliyereza didn't even look at him, "I have something urgent to attend to, so I won't be participating in tonight's gala."

The student was stunned.

"N-not participating? But..."

Diliyereza had already walked away with her assistant.

Another student realized what was happening and hurriedly chased after them.

"Sister Reza! Sister Reza! You can't leave! The audience is waiting! We've been promoting this for a long time..."

Diliyereza stopped and looked back at him.

Her gaze was very faint, but the student stopped in his tracks for some reason.

"I just received a notification from our boss," Diliyereza said, her tone as calm as if she were talking about the weather, "telling me to leave Jingzhou University immediately."

Then she turned and walked away.

The student stood there, completely dumbfounded.

Boss?

What boss?

Baiye Entertainment?

He shivered, not daring to think any further.

Meanwhile, backstage at the Jingzhou University auditorium.

General Manager Zhou Zhaolong was sitting on the sofa in the lounge area, holding a cup of tea and chatting with Vice President Lu Chuan.

Vice President Lu Chuan was the Vice President of the Jingzhou Chamber of Commerce. He worked in investments and had significant personal wealth. He had known General Manager Zhou Zhaolong for many years and could be considered an old friend.

"Zhaolong, what happened on the third floor just now?" Vice President Lu Chuan asked, "You don't look too good."

General Manager Zhou Zhaolong smiled and was about to say something when his phone rang.

He glanced at the caller ID, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Shen Tian.

He answered.

"Hello, General Manager Shen?"

"General Manager Zhou Zhaolong! Where the hell are you?!"

Shen Tian's voice erupted from the earpiece; the fury could be felt even through the phone.

General Manager Zhou Zhaolong was stunned for a moment.

"I'm at the Jingzhou University auditorium, what's wrong?"

"What's wrong?!" Shen Tian's voice grew even louder, "Does the matter regarding the boss at Jingzhou University have anything to do with you?!"

A cold sweat broke out on General Manager Zhou Zhaolong's back instantly.

"Yes, but I, I, I handled it..."

"Handled it my ass!" Shen Tian sneered, "You handled it, and the boss can just swallow this insult? General Manager Zhou Zhaolong, is this your first day working for the boss? Don't you know the boss's temper?"

General Manager Zhou Zhaolong's expression changed.

"General Manager Shen, I..."

Shen Tian's voice was practically shattering the phone speaker, "People from Jingzhou University treated our boss like that, and you're still stupidly sitting in the auditorium? I'm telling you, I've already pulled Diliyereza! Why are you still stupidly staying at Jingzhou University? Hurry up and find a way to make up for your mistake!"

General Manager Zhou Zhaolong felt as if he had been enlightened and stood up abruptly.

"I understand! General Manager Shen, thank you for the reminder!"

"In any case, you'd better watch yourself!"

She hung up the phone, and his expression was extremely ugly.

Vice President Lu Chuan looked at him, full of confusion.

"Zhaolong, what's wrong?"

"Vice President Lu Chuan, my apologies, I have an urgent matter to attend to, I'm leaving first." He greeted him hurriedly, grabbed his coat, and walked out.

Vice President Lu Chuan was stunned.

"General Manager Zhou Zhaolong? What happened?"

But General Manager Zhou Zhaolong had already walked quickly out of the lounge and disappeared outside the door.

Vice President Lu Chuan sat on the sofa, his brows furrowed.

Who called him just now?

How did General Manager Zhou Zhaolong's expression change so drastically?

Vice President Lu Chuan watched his retreating figure, his brows knitting together.

Just then, Vice President Lu Chuan's secretary hurriedly walked over and whispered a few words into his ear.

Vice President Lu Chuan's expression changed as well.

"Diliyereza left too?" He lowered his voice, "Why?"

The secretary shook his head.

"I'm not sure, her assistant said they received a notification from the company that something had come up."

Vice President Lu Chuan was silent for a few seconds.

He recalled the call General Manager Zhou Zhaolong just received and his hurried departure.

Something must have happened!

To make a big shot like General Manager Zhou Zhaolong leave in such a panic, and to make Diliyereza change her plans at the last minute...

He thought for a moment and stood up.

"Let's go, we're leaving too!" He decided.

The secretary was stunned.

"Vice President Lu Chuan, the gala is about to start..."

"Don't get involved, why stay here and be a target?" Vice President Lu Chuan interrupted him, picking up the coat placed to the side, "Let's go."
