Wu Yufei ultimately followed Qin Susu to Manager Ma's private room.
The private room was on the second floor of the main hall, and it was the only private room in the entire banquet hall.
From this private room, one could overlook the entire hall, with the performances on stage clearly visible, giving a sense of commanding a view of all mountains.
The original intention behind this design was to further highlight the noble status of the person seated here.
As soon as Wu Yufei and Qin Susu entered the private room, Manager Ma's face broke into a smug smile.
With a wave of his hand, he dismissed everyone else in the room.
The last person to leave did not forget to close the door of the private room behind him.
This action startled Wu Yufei, and she immediately became nervous.
At this moment, besides her, Qin Susu, and Manager Ma, there was only one bodyguard left in the room.
The bodyguard had a shifty, unattractive appearance. Compared to him, even Manager Ma looked more pleasant.
It was unclear if this was precisely why Manager Ma chose him as a bodyguard.
"Two beautiful ladies, please have a seat!"
Manager Ma invited them with great gentlemanly courtesy.
The two of them sat down, with Wu Yufei sitting directly opposite Manager Ma.
Although this position faced Manager Ma directly, it was also the furthest from him.
Afterward, Manager Ma personally poured wine for the two of them.
His words and actions were very proper, without any hint of flirtatiousness, which eased some of Wu Yufei's vigilance.
"Manager Ma, thank you so much just now!"
Qin Susu raised her wine glass, then winked at Wu Yufei, "My best friend Wu Yufei and I would like to toast you."
Wu Yufei reluctantly raised her wine glass as well, "Manager Ma, I toast you..."
Manager Ma slightly raised his wine glass and winked at Wu Yufei.
"Cheers to you, two beautiful ladies!"
Wu Yufei actually followed Qin Susu's advice, merely bringing the wine to her lips, lightly licking it with her tongue, and then putting it down.
Upon seeing this, Manager Ma's expression immediately darkened.
"Miss Wu, what is the meaning of this? Are you not giving me, Ma, any face?"
Wu Yufei's heart trembled violently. Qin Susu quickly interjected, "Yufei, what are you doing? It's your good fortune to be able to drink with Manager Ma. Others wish they had this opportunity!"
"Quickly drink the wine. Perhaps Manager Ma's next film will feature you as the lead. Isn't that right, Manager Ma?"
Qin Susu winked and nudged Manager Ma.
Manager Ma smiled slightly, "As for the leading lady, it's just a matter of my word, Manager Ma. It all depends on whether Miss Wu gives me, Ma, this face."
Wu Yufei thought to herself, when will this end?
To escape the entanglement, she raised her wine glass and gulped down the half-full glass of red wine.
Then, she slammed the glass onto the table and gasped for air.
She had drunk the wine too quickly, and by the end, she felt nauseous, almost throwing up.
"Hahaha, Miss Wu has a great capacity for alcohol! Truly a heroine among women!"
Manager Ma clapped his hands in delight.
Wu Yufei desperately suppressed the urge to vomit and said with a cold expression, "Manager Ma, I've drunk the wine, and I've thanked you. Can I leave now?"
Qin Susu reprimanded coldly, "Wu Yufei, how can you speak to Manager Ma like that?"
Manager Ma, however, was not angry and maintained his smiling demeanor.
"Miss Wu, don't be so impatient. Su Su mentioned you want to make a movie, right? We can discuss it."
Then, before Wu Yufei could speak, Manager Ma revealed his true intentions.
"Miss Wu, you have a great figure. As long as you are willing to spend a night with me, I will make you the female lead in my next film, a ten-billion-dollar investment. What do you think?"
Wu Yufei had already anticipated this, so she wasn't surprised or taken aback at all.
"I don't think it's good. I do want to be famous, but I want to achieve it through my own abilities, not through this kind of method! Moreover, I already have a boyfriend. I hope Manager Ma will stop having ideas about me. You cannot afford to anger my boyfriend!"
Wu Yufei refused directly, using Chen Xiao as a shield.
"Boyfriend? Wu Yufei, you're not talking about that pretty boy outside, are you?"
Qin Susu said with disdain, "Someone like him, how can he compare to Manager Ma? He's not even fit to carry Manager Ma's shoes. I really don't know what your taste is like!"
Hearing these words, Wu Yufei was instantly enraged.
"Qin Susu, I already told you earlier. If you dare to spout nonsense and insult Chen Xiao again, I will fall out with you!"
Wu Yufei stood up directly. "Thank you for giving me a ticket, but we have different paths and cannot seek common ground. Qin Susu, you are no longer the person you used to be. From now on, we will go our separate ways, never to see each other again. Goodbye!"
With that, Wu Yufei turned to leave.
However, after taking just two steps, she felt a wave of dizziness, as if her strength had been instantly drained. She grabbed onto a nearby chair to prevent herself from falling.
"Heh, you want to leave?"
Qin Susu chuckled sinisterly. "Wu Yufei, Wu Yufei, you're already so old, why are you still such a big fool? From the moment you walked in, it was destined that you wouldn't be able to leave tonight!"
"You, you, you poisoned my drink..."
Wu Yufei suddenly realized something. She pointed at Qin Susu, her eyes filled with anger and regret. "Qin Susu, I was truly blind to trust you, knowing you had harmed me before!"
Qin Susu shrugged. "You're not blind, you're just plain stupid. Believe it or not, after this, if I cry and apologize to you again, you'll still believe me?"
"You... despicable... shameless..."
Wu Yufei was furious and walked towards Qin Susu in anger.
At that moment, she wished she could tear Qin Susu apart.
However, after taking two steps, her legs felt weak, and she fell to the ground with a thud.
After that, she completely lost consciousness and fainted.
Qin Susu looked at Wu Yufei triumphantly.
"Hmph, with your intelligence, you think you can compete with me? Idiot!"
At this moment, Manager Ma also stood up and came to Qin Susu's side. He was as respectful as a subordinate, a stark contrast to his previous arrogance.
"Miss Qin, what should I do now?"
Qin Susu looked at him coldly. "Do as you should. Remember to take photos and videos, and hand them over to me when you're done!"
Upon hearing this, Manager Ma's face showed difficulty. "Miss Qin, this isn't right, is it? After all, Wu Yufei is Mr. Zhao's woman. If we do this, will Mr. Zhao..."
"He will what, my ass!"
Qin Susu said impatiently, "Mr. Zhao ordered me to do this. Wu Yufei wants to divorce Mr. Zhao, so Mr. Zhao decided to satisfy her. However, Mr. Zhao not only wants to satisfy her but also to ruin her..."
