Unfortunately, Song Xi had prepared a whole string of excuses on the way, but in the end, she didn't even get to see the brand representatives.
Presumably, Anna had tipped them off, and by the time they arrived at the lounge, they found it empty.
The program director, owing to Dai Ze, didn't want to be too harsh. He just said tactfully, "How about... you find another program to participate in?"
Dai Ze was a bit displeased. He had been in the industry for over a decade, and at his current status, when had he ever been so frustrated?
He looked at Song Xi and asked, "What do you say? Want to give up?"
Song Xi initially had a "can participate or not" attitude towards this program, but now that Anna had already provoked her at her doorstep, did she expect her to back down? Impossible!
A fierce fighting spirit ignited in her eyes: "This program, I must be on it!"
"Good spirit! As expected of my artist!"
If she had truly given up, Dai Ze might have looked down on her. He detested people who retreated at the slightest sign of trouble!
"I refuse to believe it!" He picked up his phone, and a few minutes later, said, "Let's go, to the Hao Li Hotel!"
In the car, Song Xi asked, "What are we going to the hotel for?"
While telling Xiao Mo to drive faster, Dai Ze replied, "I just found out they're flying abroad at two thirty, so we can only try our luck at the hotel."
There was still an hour left.
Song Xi fastened her seatbelt: "Xiao Mo, accelerate!"
Half an hour later, the van arrived at the hotel entrance.
Song Xi put on a mask and hat and got out of the car.
Before leaving, Dai Ze instructed Xiao Mo, "This is their license plate number. If you see this car leaving, call me immediately."
"Yes!"
This program's sponsor was known for being difficult, uncompromising, and ruthless.
To ensure no mistakes were made, Dai Ze sent Song Xi away and secretly walked to the side to call Lou Yu Ming.
The phone rang a few times before being hung up. He was likely busy, but remembering Lou Yu Ming's earlier instructions, Dai Ze still sent him a text.
"Mr. Lou, it's about Song Xi."
Meanwhile, Lou Yu Ming was busy with important matters.
Manager Liu, the CEO of OP, had a daughter named Liu Sisi, who had a rebellious personality and often ran away from home.
Last night at dinner, Manager Liu had a pleasant conversation with him, appearing quite satisfied with him, and thus asked him to find a way to bring his daughter home.
Lou Yu Ming readily agreed. After finding out that Liu Sisi was staying at the Hao Li Hotel, he took people with him and headed over.
Shao Cheng frowned, "Why are you bringing me along?"
Lou Yu Ming strode forward, "Of course, to find a way. You're best at dealing with women."
Shao Cheng silently rolled his eyes. He heard his phone vibrating continuously and reminded him, "Who is it, calling you non-stop?"
Lou Yu Ming finally deigned to glance at it. Upon seeing the text message sent by Shao Cheng, his face darkened: "Go find out which room Liu Sisi is in. I'm going to make a call."
"Okay." Shao Cheng stared at his retreating back, a hint of suspicion in his eyes.
"Get to the point," Lou Yu Ming answered the phone, his voice cool and clear.
Dai Ze briefly recounted the entire incident, not forgetting to mention Anna.
Lou Yu Ming furrowed his brows slightly, "Her, what was her attitude?"
Dai Ze glanced at Song Xi not far away and said, "Song Xi has very high aspirations."
Lou Yu Ming sneered, "Since she's so ambitious, why are you calling me?"
"But Mr. Lou..."
"Enough. Since she wants to be on this program, let her come and beg me herself!"
*Click!*
The call was hung up.
Dai Ze: "..."
Did these two have a fight?
Dai Ze returned to Song Xi's side.
Song Xi said, "Let's go, Brother Dai."
Dai Ze hesitated for a few seconds before asking, "Song Xi, what if we don't succeed today?"
"Brother Dai, why are you losing confidence after just one phone call? Don't worry, I will definitely perform well and let our generous sponsor give us another chance!"
She seemed to be energized, as if the woman named Anna had greatly provoked her.
