Chapter 212 Dogs Barking Before Us

The words fell, and the surrounding staff lunged at Song Xi and the others like wolves and tigers.

"Sister Song Xi, let's go!"

Xiao Mo covered their retreat, charging forward with a fierce momentum. With a beautiful sweeping kick, she sent several people tumbling face-first.

Immediately after, with incredible agility, she leaped into the air and kicked Fang Ze squarely in the head.

*Bang!*

Fang Ze crashed heavily to the ground, his face buried in the dirt, his mouth full of blood.

"Ah, my teeth... my teeth!"

Xiao Mo's expression was cold and utterly cool.

Her movements were swift and nimble, clearly indicating she was skilled in combat. The remaining people dared not approach.

Xiao Mo spat on the ground, "You old pervert! If you ever dare to lay a hand on Sister Xi or any other girl again, I'll break your legs!"

Fang Ze's face contorted with fury, "…Call the police! I want to call the police!"

Song Xi stepped forward, shielding Xiao Mo behind her. Her aura was commanding, and her gaze was sharp enough to freeze bone. "Go ahead, I'll be waiting." With that, she led Xiao Mo away.

Fang Ze was so enraged his features twisted. He roared, "Hurry and call Miss Anna! Go!"

After leaving the filming set, Song Xi contacted Dai Ze.

He needed to know about this.

Dai Ze was momentarily stunned. "I'm coming to the company right away."

Bai Xi Culture, conference room.

The large projector screen displayed the footage of Fang Ze's actions towards Song Xi just moments ago.

When it ended, Ge Bai Tao slammed her palm onto the table, only to cry out in pain the next second.

"...Xiao Mo did well!"

Ge Bai Tao shook her hand, seething with anger. "If I had been there, I would have ripped his head off! Doesn't he even look at himself? He's like a toad, ugh, disgusting! As expected of a small brand, so dirty!"

Song Xi watched Dai Ze, who sat opposite her. He remained silent, his expression grave, lost in thought.

Xiao Mo began to feel a knot of fear in her stomach. Although she felt she had done nothing wrong, and Director Lou had instructed her to protect Sister Song Xi, the thought that Sister Song Xi's career might be implicated because of her made her feel a jumble of emotions.

Sister Song Xi had finally managed to change the public's perception of her through her hard work. If any scandals were to emerge now, all her efforts would be in vain!

Perhaps…

Xiao Mo nervously picked at her palms, then suddenly stood up with a gasp. "I! I'll resign voluntarily!"

Everyone was taken aback.

Song Xi frowned. "Xiao Mo."

Xiao Mo quickly lowered her head to apologize, but her voice trembled with distress.

"Brother Dai, this has nothing to do with Sister Song Xi! If... if they want to make a big deal out of it, just blame me! I'm just an assistant anyway…"

"What's wrong with being an assistant?" Song Xi also stood up and bowed ninety degrees to Dai Ze. "Brother Dai, Xiao Mo is my assistant. Her hitting him was with my tacit approval. I know I've disappointed you. I'm sorry!"

Dai Ze glanced lazily at Ge Bai Tao. "Do you want to apologize too?"

Ge Bai Tao stood up. "Xi Xi is an artist of Bai Xi Culture. If something like this happens, I also bear responsibility, so…"

"Alright, alright."

Dai Ze waved his hand, his feigned stern expression vanishing instantly. "One by one, I've seen people shirk responsibility, but never have I seen people willingly take the blame. I hope that in a few years, you'll still have this same spirit."

Song Xi blinked, confused. What did he mean?

Dai Ze shrugged nonchalantly. "They're in the wrong on this. What era are we even in now? There's still workplace sexual harassment? *Heh*, if this gets exposed, how many 'feminists' will be attacking them online?"

His tone was dismissive, as if he didn't care about the matter at all. "What's the main demographic for lipstick? Women. Their own representative engaging in such disgusting behavior, what face do they have to bark at us? So, all of you, you'd better think about how to use this opportunity to get back some of what rightfully belongs to you!"

Dai Ze's words stunned the three women into silence.

Ge Bai Tao instantly transformed into an adoring fan. "Brother Dai! If all men in this world were like you! It would truly be a blessing for the entire Earth!"

Dai Ze preened, stroking his beard. "Low-key, low-key."

"However," he looked at Song Xi, a slight smile playing on his lips, his eyes showing a hint of admiration. "Thanks to this video, we have leverage. Otherwise, we would have been at their mercy. Well done."

"Thank you, Brother Dai."

Song Xi hadn't expected Dai Ze to have such an attitude, and she felt a surge of gratitude.

Under the table, Song Xi gently placed her hand on Xiao Mo's. It was a comforting gesture.

Xiao Mo was too moved to speak.

*Sob, sob, sob.* What kind of good fortune had she accumulated in her past lives to meet so many good people!
