Chapter 340 When will the beams be joined? How come she doesn't know?
Zhao Xiaojing was so angry that her face turned ashen, and her chest heaved violently.
At this moment, all she could hear in her mind were the words Ning Duoduo had just said to her.
"Aunt Zhao, you probably don't know yet, but I've already accepted a role in the remake of 'The Princess of Tang Dynasty.' What do you think of my acting compared to yours back then?"
"What I want is for you, Zhao Xiaojing, to never again have the so-called ratings miracle in the entertainment industry. I will definitely portray the role of the Tang Dynasty princess perfectly, and then completely replace you..."
Ning Duoduo's every word was like a sharp dagger, tearing at Zhao Xiaojing's flesh.
She didn't want to turn hostile on the spot, but she just couldn't hold back anymore.
Why is Ning Duoduo helping Luo Xiyao to oppose her?
When did she start having a grudge against Ning Duoduo?
Zhao Xiaojing couldn't understand either of these two questions no matter what she tried.
The security personnel present realized that the situation was about to escalate, and the staff who were unaware of the facts quickly stepped in to mediate.
Unlike those outside whose values are dictated by appearances, Elder Nie's people saw it clearly: it was Ning Duoduo who was provoking Zhao Xiaojing the whole time.
Although they didn't quite understand what Zhao Xiaojing was saying, it sounded like a senior was kindly advising a junior, and her attitude was quite good.
"The auction is still in progress. Please, both of you, take your seats back."
"If Actress Zhao is having any difficulties, I can change your seat for you," the staff member said politely.
“I know I’m washed up now and no longer respected. I’m not worthy to sit next to Ning Duoduo; I’m an eyesore to her.” Zhao Xiaojing immediately put on a weak and pitiful appearance, her face full of resentment and forbearance.
How could she give up her seat? It was the most prominent seat! If she gave it up, how much screen time would she miss?
Zhao Xiaojing recognized the staff member who had come forward to mediate between her and Ning Duoduo. His parents were her fans, and he had even asked her for an autograph when she first entered the manor.
As expected, because both parents were fans of Zhao Xiaojing, this staff member also felt some sympathy for Zhao Xiaojing.
"Actress Ning, Actress Zhao is your senior, after all. You should give way if you can. Don't make things too ugly in front of Elder Nie." The staff member spoke politely, but the label of disrupting order was immediately placed on Ning Duoduo's head.
Ning Duoduo remained silent, her expression as calm as ever.
Why should we back down?
Who told Zhao Xiaojing to be so blind as to bully her mother?
Does she think she's so nice to talk to? Every word she utters is baseless and baseless, just throwing mud at her mother!
"What if I don't allow it?" Ning Duoduo's voice was icy cold, as if it were drilling into your ear and freezing you into an icicle on the spot.
The staff didn't expect that someone who survives in the entertainment industry wouldn't even have such a basic sense of propriety. They had already given her a way out, but she still took advantage of their kindness. No wonder Teacher Zhao couldn't stand her.
So what if she's beautiful? She's powerless and domineering. If this kind of persona were exposed, Ning Duoduo's position would probably be in jeopardy.
"Then I'll have to ask you to move to another seat." The staff member frowned and said to Ning Duoduo with displeasure.
"Fine, find me another seat. I don't want to sit next to this person." Ning Duoduo said decisively, ready to leave.
But Zhao Xiaojing was unhappy when she heard this.
The camera was focused on Ning Duoduo. If she didn't sit next to him, even if Zhao Xiaojing was in the center, she probably wouldn't get much screen time. Wouldn't that be a waste?
"Let's stop making a fuss. Why insist on changing positions? Let's both compromise and let bygones be bygones. Do you think that's okay, Duoduo?" Zhao Xiaojing lowered her stance again, putting on a dignified and yielding act in front of everyone.
The two actresses actually got into a fight at Mr. Nie's charity auction, and regardless of the reasons behind it, it certainly piqued the interest of the audience.
More and more people gathered around to watch the spectacle, and even reporters and media personnel realized that this was a bombshell story, so they all rushed forward to take pictures.
Zhao Xiaojing rolled her eyes, a cold smile playing on her lips.
She knew, of course, that the more aggrieved she appeared, the more arrogant and domineering Ning Duoduo would seem to everyone.
Haha, you think you can compete with her? This little brat is still too green!
Sure enough, the staff couldn't stand it anymore and said to Ning Duoduo in an annoyed tone, "Even if Actress Zhao is like this, can't you take a step back? Actress Zhao is your senior after all. Even if she is wrong, as a junior, you should give way a little."
Ning Duoduo's expression was also not good. She was angered by the staff's attitude and was about to say something when a clear, cold female voice preempted her.
"Is Actress Zhao treating this place like a stage? Her performance is truly superb."
Ning Yao walked out in high heels, her steps graceful and elegant.
Her long hair was tied up at the back of her head, revealing her beautiful swan neck, making her look fresh, neat, and innocent.
Ning Yao wore a dress designed by herself, which perfectly showcased her figure, making her look graceful and elegant.
When Ning Duoduo saw Ning Yao, her eyes flickered twice, but she ultimately said nothing.
Zhao Xiaojing was surprised to see Ning Yao. Ning Yao hadn't been at the auction the whole time, and Zhao Xiaojing had assumed that Ning Yao had already left.
Ning Yao stepped forward, ignoring the cameras pointed at her from all around. Smiling, she leaned in and her sharp eyes locked onto Zhao Xiaojing.
Zhao Xiaojing felt a chill run down her spine from Ning Yao's expression, and she barely managed to stay upright, suppressing her fear.
"I know I offended you on set before, and you still have a grudge against me, so you want to stand up for Ning Duoduo. But this is Elder Nie's auction. Are you trying to make trouble for Elder Nie by acting so unforgiving?" Zhao Xiaojing pretended to bring up Elder Nie.
"What did you say to Actress Ning just now? It must have been something unpleasant that upset her so much, right?" Ning Yao asked instead of answering.
She had a relaxed demeanor, with a gentle smile always on her face, and her pure and delicate features were captivating.
"It's clearly her own bad temper, how can you say that what I said was wrong?" Zhao Xiaojing sneered.
“Since what you said is correct, then you can repeat it so that we can all know the truth.” Ning Yao smiled and looked at Zhao Xiaojing, her eyes shining with a firm light, as if she was confident.
Zhao Xiaojing looked at Ning Yao with some suspicion, not understanding why she was so certain that there was something wrong with what Ning Yao said.
The next second, Zhao Xiaojing's doubts were explained.
"Duoduo, don't you always carry a voice recorder with you? You must have recorded the conversation between Senior Zhao and you just now, right?" Ning Yao looked at Ning Duoduo, her expression unchanged, but Ning Duoduo still saw through Ning Yao's hint.
She did have a pen on her person, but it wasn't a recording pen.
Upon hearing this, Ning Duoduo took out a beautiful white fountain pen from her pocket, a slight smile playing on her lips, and began to play with it between her fingers.
Seeing Ning Duoduo's intriguing smile, Zhao Xiaojing realized she had been tricked.
Tang Xiaoge herself was still present, so how could she dare to let Ning Duoduo broadcast their conversation publicly?
Regardless of whether Luo Xiyao seduced him or not, it's always unsightly for celebrities to be involved in scandals in public.
Compared to offending Tang Xiaoge, Xingji Entertainment's cash cow, and losing a few more screen time, Zhao Xiaojing could still distinguish the stakes.
When Zhao Xiaojing saw that Ning Duoduo actually had a recording pen, she immediately chickened out.
"It's all a misunderstanding. I meant well. How about this, I'll sit over there. Since Miss Luo is here, you two good friends should naturally sit together. I won't join in the fun."
After saying that, Zhao Xiaojing slunk away to the seat next to her, no longer arguing or pulling at him.
Luo Xiyao and Ning Duoduo are both top-tier beauties in the industry, with Luo Xiyao even more radiant than Ning Duoduo, the newly crowned Best Actress.
Zhao Xiaojing thought to herself that Ning Duoduo was sitting with her just now, and she was undoubtedly just a supporting character.
But now that Ning Duoduo and Luo Xiyao are sitting together, it's hard to say who's just there to make a cameo...
Zhao Xiaojing scoffed and glanced at Ning Duoduo's back with disgust.
