The opening title had just ended. There were a few seconds of silence before the film started. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Aside from the chief writer and the director, the other people sitting in the first two rows were all investors. From the third row on, there were famous film critics and rather influential reporters. Ever since Song Xuanhe and Xiao Yuanmu had arrived, everyone's attention had been on the middle of that second row.

Sitting behind them was a reporter, who had gone from writing for a tabloid to entertainment news. Since the beginning of Xue Mian and Song Xuanhe's conversation, his sensitive nose for gossip had sensed that something was off. Therefore, he hadn't paid any attention to the opening title. He had instead pricked his ears to listen in on the conversation in front of him.

It was just that, although Xue Mian and Huang Cong had been talking about movies, their voices had been hushed. Even though he was sitting behind them, he didn't hear what they had been saying. He had originally been about to give up and just watch the movie quietly before going back to draft his article. But, who would have expected that Heaven would have mercy on him? Film Emperor Xue had apologized, and then, the man next to Song er shao had embarrassed him without any mercy.

Although the man's voice wasn't loud—it was actually pretty quiet—you could still make out the crispness of his voice. Although it was quiet, his voice was very clear. The reporter had heard every single word.

The reporter swallowed, excited. He subconsciously brought his head closer. Several decades working as paparazzi told him that there was a hidden inside story here and that this inside story would make for some good drama.

The next second, he heard Film Emperor Xue say, "I hadn't realized. I'm really sorry for interrupting your watching experience."

Film Emperor Xue was worthy of his title. He apologized very sincerely since he had been in the wrong. He was just as rumoured. The reporter wondered how the man next to Song shaoye would reply.

The reporter held his breath in anticipation. But, one second passed and then another. The dark movie theatre gradually lit up along with the screen, but the man in front didn't speak again. From the reporter's angle, he could faintly make out the cold outline of the other's face. It looked like the other had no intention of responding.

This...was too arrogant of him.

The reporter thought, although Film Emperor Xue's background had never been revealed so far, the veteran reporters in this industry all had their own intelligence networks. A previous colleague of this reporter now worked for Zhuangye Entertainment, whom Xue Mian was under. This former colleague knew a bit about Xue Mian's family. The Xue Family didn't operate in the Capital. Although the Xue Family could not be compared to the Song Family based on pure influence, they also were not easy pickings for the Song Family either.

There was evidence backing this up. When Xue Mian had just debuted, there had been a film and television company's boss who had wanted to make him his little lover and had even tried to use indecent methods to do so. Who would have expected that this boss would end up in prison the next day? This boss had had quite a bit of influence behind him in the Capital. However, even he hadn't been protected. When the power behind him had found out that the situation was related to Xue Mian, they had directly abandoned him. Those who had watched this spectacle had all sighed.

It was obvious that Xue Mian's powerful background was not unfounded.

So, the reporter hadn't expected that, Xue Mian, who even the Song Family's young master would only say a few prickling words to when discontent, would be ignored so mercilessly and left in such an awkward situation.
