Feng Xiaoxiao saw the approaching Yi Shuihan, and naturally, he also noticed the figures of Xia Xiyao and the others not far away.

For a moment, he felt even more awkward. The two had only just joined the company, and now the boss's wife saw him arguing here. Truly invincible!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but pull Yi Shuihan over and somewhat complained, "Xiao Yi! Didn't I tell you to stay with Xiyao-jie and the others and go back to the company? Why are you still running over here?"

"It's not like that, Xiaoxiao-ge!" Yi Shuihan replied. "You're wrong about this! What's the point of hiding something like this? We should just be open about it. Xiyao-jie and the others are different from those leaders from other companies! They won't blame us!"

Looking at the younger Yi Shuihan, Feng Xiaoxiao was a bit speechless. He felt it wasn't really a matter of being blamed or not. After all, no company would want to see their employees causing trouble outside.

However, since the situation had already escalated, there was no more room for him to think much about it. He immediately began to reason with the group of people.

Hearing the argument on stage, Xia Xiyao roughly understood the cause of the issue.

The reason was the two girls in white t-shirts on stage. They were a pair of folk singers who had been performing at this small bar.

The two had written quite a few of their own folk songs, which were well-received here, but because they had no connections and no influence, a small entertainment company approached them, wanting to buy the rights to their songs for a few thousand yuan and put them under the company's singers. The girls refused.

Thus, the scene that had unfolded now: the people before her were just some small thugs hired to stir up trouble.

And the real culprit was the small manager of the entertainment company, who was still sitting in a booth!

Xia Xiyao knew that this kind of thing was common in the entertainment industry. Even calling the police would be useless. After driving one batch of thugs away, another batch would show up, and they were only arguing—they didn't get physical.

Just like now, these people were saying that they couldn't stand the songs. They were consumers and had the right to change the song or the singer! Even the bar owner couldn't do anything!

When faced with something like this, the only solution was to turn their tactics back on them.

Just like when Gu Xingyi made his decision: at first, he relied on Yinhai Entertainment to cover up his talent with a big company. Later, after gaining fame, he used Huayang's hand to fight against the industry's block, eventually establishing Xingyao Entertainment.

This was something only Gu Xingyi could achieve. Most people with a bit of talent would only be drowned out by the bigger forces.

Xia Xiyao looked at the two somewhat helpless girls on the bar stage and then at the equally indignant Tao Lele and Miao Anyun beside her. After a moment of thought, she made her decision.

She walked directly with Tao Lele and Miao Anyun to the booth in front of the small manager.

When Feng Xiaoxiao and Yi Shuihan saw this, they quickly grabbed the two girls and ran over. At this moment, they were feeling very uneasy!

Oh no! If Xiyao-jie was bullied here, they might as well dig their own graves!

"Which entertainment company are you from?"

Coming to the front of the booth, Xia Xiyao directly asked. If it were the old Xia Xiyao, she wouldn't have done this, but people grow. The current Xia Xiyao had a bit of Gu Xingyi's demeanor.

The small manager, still happily watching the scene, suddenly noticed the three women with strong auras standing in front of him. Two were on either side, guarding the middle one.

At this moment, the two boys who had appeared on stage earlier also quickly ran over. They all stood together, guarding the middle person, staring intently at him.

Their stance made it seem as if they could tear him apart if he made any move.

"Who are you? The helpers they hired?"

The small manager frowned. He felt like the person in front of him looked somewhat familiar.

"Don't worry about who we are. It's wrong for you to bully others just because you have a company! The entertainment industry has become what it is because of scum like you!"

The moment Xia Xiyao was about to speak, Tao Lele stepped forward, taking the lead.

Seeing this, the little manager immediately burst into laughter, then pretended to weigh the wine glass in his hand.

"Little girl! You have to take responsibility for your words! I'm just an ordinary consumer! Which of your eyes saw me bullying anyone?"

"So you're admitting you dared to do it but won't own up to it!"

Tao Lele immediately shot him a sideways glance, her face full of disdain.

Xia Xiyao shook her head, clearly realizing this person was just being a troublemaker. She quickly looked at the two girls, and Feng Xiaoxiao swiftly introduced them to Xia Xiyao.

"Xiyao-jie, this is Wang Xinyi and Wu Peiling. Xinyi, Peiling, this is our boss's wife."

"I know who you are now! Xia Xiyao?!"

The little manager, who was sitting at the table, seemed to realize something and suddenly screamed, his eyes widening in disbelief as he stared at Xia Xiyao, who was surrounded by everyone in the center.

The two girls froze for a moment, then stared blankly at Xia Xiyao.

This shout immediately quieted the entire tavern, and everyone turned to look. Even the group of troublemakers who had been causing a ruckus earlier stared with mouths wide open, stunned.

What had they just heard? Xia Xiyao? Was it the Xia Xiyao they knew?

The moment they heard that, several people realized things were about to take a turn for the worse, and Tao Lele shot the little manager a murderous look.

In the next moment, the whole place erupted. Xia Xiyao! She was the hottest singer on the internet right now, no competition!

Even the tavern owner, who was rubbing his hands nervously, immediately called for security. He was a loyal fan of Xingyao! If anything went wrong here in his little shop with Xia Xiyao, he could just close down shop!

Xia Xiyao calmly looked at the manager, her identity exposed. She took off her mask, and everyone around, including Miao Anyun and the others, took off their masks as well.

"Wow! It's really Xia Xiyao! And Miao Anyun!"

"The two guys! They're Feng Xiaoxiao and Yi Shuihan, who just sang ‘Floating Northward'!"

"Oh my god! A legend has arrived! What kind of magic does this tavern have?"

"Where's Gu Xingyi? Where did Gu Xingyi go? I need to see him! I'm his loyal fan!"

"Their presence is so overwhelming! I'm almost too intimidated to ask for an autograph!"

...

As soon as Xia Xiyao and the others revealed themselves, the atmosphere became chaotic. Almost everyone's eyes were sparkling as they looked over.

If it weren't for the security already positioned around, they might have rushed over to ask for autographs!

This made the little manager, still sitting on the couch, feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

At this point, he wanted to stitch his mouth shut! How did he end up shouting out like that? He really didn't expect that by picking on two unknowns, he would provoke Xia Xiyao!

If Xingyao Entertainment targeted his company, would his company even survive?

Once a company's reputation collapses, it's basically over!

Xingyao Entertainment wouldn't even need to specifically target him. With Gu Xingyi's current popularity, as long as he made a statement, explaining what had happened, his little company would be finished!

"Hehe! A misunderstanding! A misunderstanding! So it's Xiyao-jie! I'll leave right now! I'll never come back!"

Without needing Xia Xiyao to speak, the little manager immediately nervously smiled and said, then quickly stood up and left. He just hoped this wouldn't blow up.

Xia Xiyao didn't stop him. She knew that after this, he definitely wouldn't show his face again.

Incidents like this were common in the entertainment industry, and no one could control them. These two girls were lucky to know Feng Xiaoxiao and the others, but those less fortunate would just have to accept their bad luck.

This society was never truly fair!
