The moment Director Niu finished speaking, Qiu Chengye and Lai Bingxuan turned red with rage.
"Sore losers? What do you mean, sore losers? Who are you calling a sore loser?!" Qiu Chengye howled, ready to pounce.
Lai Bingxuan rolled her eyes several times. "Who are you looking down on, you old geezer? It's just accepting a loss, isn't it? Keep your stupid car. I'll figure something out myself!"
Now it was Director Niu's turn to turn red.
Old geezer? Old geezer?! Old geezer!!!
He had only sprouted two gray hairs from working day and night to manage this bunch of lunatics. Just two!!
Just as things were about to boil over, someone unexpected stepped forward to break up the fight.
"Stop fighting, stop fighting. We're all coworkers here."
Injured but undaunted, Xie Mi hopped into the middle on her bad leg to stop their argument.
Director Niu looked a little surprised, while the other crew members wore expressions of relief.
Ah... Teacher Xie had finally matured.
Then Xie Mi pointed solemnly at Qiu Chengye and Lai Bingxuan. "You two are sore losers."
Then she pointed at Director Niu. "And you're an old geezer."
"Everyone gives a little. That settles it, right?"
Boom!
The volcano that had been rumbling erupted on the spot, and Qiu Chengye, Lai Bingxuan, and Director Niu instantly descended into a shouting match.
The other crew members roared, "Who taught you to break up a fight like that?!"
Having successfully made the situation even more heated, Xie Mi limped away with casual flair, taking no credit for her achievements.
And so the little opening incident came to an end. To prove they could take a loss, Qiu Chengye and Lai Bingxuan grudgingly accepted the production team's arrangements and began trying to hitch a ride by the roadside.
