Director Li in the monitoring room had also learned about the scandal that had blown up on Weibo.
Holding his assistant's phone, he studied it carefully for a long while before frowning. "This angle looks deliberately chosen, and it was taken during the variety show filming."
"Someone on the show wants to screw Xie Chen over?"
Having reached that conclusion, Director Li turned to look at Huo Wenye.
The latter's expression was dark and unreadable. His lips seemed to be curled upward, yet he gave off an eerie, vicious feeling.
"Wenye, you..." Director Li began hesitantly. "It probably wasn't Xie Chen who deliberately exposed this. He doesn't seem to have those feelings for you. Maybe your behavior was a little..."
He could not continue, because Huo Wenye had already cast a chilling glance his way. "How do you know he's not interested in me?!"
"Are you a worm in his stomach?!"
Director Li said, "...I'm not. I don't know. Pretend I never said anything!"
Still shaken, he turned back around and pretended to continue working on the filming.
Yet inwardly, he was muttering to himself, What exactly does Lord Huo mean by this?!
Could he actually be happy about being tied to Xie Chen in a scandal?!
Come on.
Xie Chen was getting torn apart on Weibo!
Those comments were already so nasty, let alone the private messages!
If his mental resilience was poor, he could very well become depressed!
Although Xie Chen always went against him on the variety show, honestly speaking, his on-camera presence was quite good. Coupled with that distinctive face, his future potential was limitless!
Director Li could not bear to see such an outstanding artist drowned in the spit of fandom culture, which was why he had just tried to ask Lord Huo to intervene...
