However, in the comments section, be it netizens or fans, they were all speaking up for Qiao Weiyang.

[How dare you say that Weiyang is acting like a big shot? Look at the photo Weiyang posted. The notice she received states that the event starts at three in the afternoon! How dare you say such things?!]

[No matter what, this matter is the production team’s or the organizers’ fault!]

[Moreover, Weiyang’s assistant also said that she had confirmed the time with Zhao Xinshu’s manager.]

[Anyway, it has nothing to do with Weiyang!]

It was already half past 12 when the morning event ended.

Shen Mubei stood at the back of the crowd and watched as everyone slowly left.

The producer walked up to him and said, “President Shen, Qiao Weiyang didn’t come today, but I think there’s a reason for this. After all, the change in time was very sudden. Maybe we didn’t inform her before.”

“Who changed the time?” the producer said.

“Didn’t you arrange for it? We were informed that you changed the time.” The producer was surprised.

If Shen Mubei hadn’t changed the time, who would be willing to make such a decision? Who would dare to take such a responsibility?

When Shen Mubei heard this, he said calmly, “Got it. Let’s continue in the afternoon.”

He stood up and walked backstage. Zhao Xinshu was putting on makeup. The manager said in surprise, “President Shen! Miss Zhao is touching up her makeup.”

Zhao Xinshu avoided Shen Mubei’s gaze. Qiao Weiyang’s matter was a little big today.

Qiao Weiyang was supposed to be blamed and criticized. Zhao Xinshu could then take advantage of the chaos to avoid responsibility.

However, who knew that Qiao Weiyang would post on Weibo so early in the morning? The situation had completely changed in a very subtle manner.

Now, everyone sympathized with Qiao Weiyang and scolded the entire production team and organizers.

Who could the production team blame? It was obvious.

Zhao Xinshu avoided Shen Mubei’s gaze in the mirror.

However, Shen Mubei stared straight into the mirror. His gaze was as sharp as a knife, making people not dare to look straight at him.

He said nothing. The silence was frightening.

Zhao Xinshu wanted to start, but she did not know where to start.

“Mubei, have you eaten?” Zhao Xinshu finally asked.

“What do you think?” Shen Mubei placed his hands on the chair. The emotions in his eyes were scary.

“Then why don’t we eat together?”

Zhao Xinshu probed.

Shen Mubei snorted coldly.

Zhao Xinshu was so frightened that she fell silent.

He turned to leave.

“Mubei!” Zhao Xinshu couldn’t help but shout.

However, Shen Mubei left without looking back.

The event in the afternoon began at half past two.

After everyone was in position, Qiao Weiyang arrived late.

No, according to the timetable she had received it, her timing was just right.

The reporters quickly pointed their microphones at her, and everyone looked at her.

Qiao Weiyang said apologetically, “I’m sorry, everyone. I didn’t expect today’s event to start early. I even took this opportunity to accompany my family this morning. I didn’t expect this to happen.”
She didn’t push the blame on anyone, but she clearly expressed that she didn’t do anything wrong.

Anyway, she didn’t believe that everyone wouldn’t know what was going on.

Tao Huan saw Zhao Xinshu and immediately said with concern, “Ms. Zhao, at around 11 o’clock last night, we called your manager to confirm the time. Your manager must’ve been mistaken because she told us that it was three o’clock in the afternoon. Did you not make it in time this morning too? It just so happens that Sister Weiyang is going to apologize to the media. Why don’t you two say something together?”

When she said that, everyone understood. It turned out that Qiao Weiyang’s team had confirmed the time with Zhao Xinshu’s team last night, but they didn’t tell Qiao Weiyang the latest time.

They didn’t expect there to be such a big trick.

The producer, director, and the others also looked at Zhao Xinshu.

This scene was completely different from what Zhao Xinshu had expected. Logically speaking, no matter who it was, they would panic when they encountered such a thing. They would either keep quiet or quickly salvage the situation.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Weiyang called last night and left a way out for herself.

She had no choice but to say, “Did you call my manager? I’m really sorry. My manager might have been muddle-headed and remembered wrongly. She should apologize to you.”

The manager didn’t wait for her to order her around and immediately stood up to admit her mistake. “I’m sorry, Ms. Qiao, Tao Huan. I was indeed so tired that I forgot to tell you that the time had changed. I’m very sorry. I apologize to you.”

Qiao Weiyang nodded and said, “Actually, there’s no need to apologize. You’re not responsible for informing us of the time change, right? I just hope that the next person who’s responsible for such things will confirm it with us so that it won’t cause losses to the entire production team. We wouldn’t want to make the media and fans wait either.”

After saying this, Zhao Xinshu and her manager felt even more embarrassed.

Everyone knew that Zhao Xinshu was considered half an investor. The time change started with her manager. It was also Zhao Xinshu’s manager who informed the various artistes and the media.

She had made the wrong arrangements and confirmed the wrong time with Qiao Weiyang’s assistant. It was difficult to escape responsibility with just the excuse of being too tired.

Zhao Xinshu was probably also involved in this matter.

Zhao Xinshu said anxiously, “I’m really sorry. My manager wasn’t there when you called me. Weiyang, I’ll apologize to you here.”

The manager also apologized profusely. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. It’s my mistake.”

“It’s okay, there’s no need to apologize anymore. As long as it doesn’t affect everyone’s work, it’s alright. No matter what the time is, my team will do our best to cooperate. However, with such a misunderstanding, I can only say that it’s a pity. I hope that all the reporters will be more tolerant of me when you mention it. I’m not a big shot; I can’t bear this responsibility.”

Qiao Weiyang said it openly and generously. She glanced at the reporters at the scene. Everyone was amused and quickly said, “No, no. We won’t write nonsense.”

“Then I won’t waste everyone’s time. Let’s take our seats.” Qiao Weiyang waved at everyone generously and walked forward to her seat.

The producer and executive director looked at each other. They had a judgment about what kind of people Qiao Weiyang and Zhao Xinshu were.

Actually, they felt a little regretful. They really shouldn’t have been tolerant of Zhao Xinshu just because she was recommended by Shen Mubei.
