Chapter 874 Meeting Duke Wang Again
After all, the Guangda Group paid a hefty price to invite Violet!
Besides, there have always been rumors in the Western Region that Violet has powerful backing, suspected to be a certain important figure from the Western Region.
In any case, Violet is not someone a mere manager like him could afford to offend.
“Miss Zeng, I know this is unfair to you, but…” the manager said with a pale face, trying to persuade Zeng Xiaomei.
“You don’t need to say more! We absolutely will not give up the lounge!” Zeng Xiaomei said resolutely, her face full of anger. “Why can’t her dance team do their makeup in her own lounge?”
Honestly, the fact that Zeng Xiaomei was still communicating with this manager was already out of respect for Guangda Group.
Tonight’s gala was originally meant to feature Qiu Kelan as the main star.
But later, Guangda Group also invited the famous Western Region singer Violet to attend.
As a result, the final performance slot was also taken by Violet.
At the same time, Qiu Kelan’s performance content was also required to be reduced from the original five songs to three.
For a diva-level singer, this series of events was already difficult to tolerate.
Of course, Violet’s fame was indeed also significant, and she was more internationally recognized than Qiu Kelan.
Therefore, compared to Qiu Kelan, Guangda Group showed a bit more respect to Violet.
That was somewhat bearable, they could reluctantly accept it.
But now, even having to give up their separate lounge to Violet’s dance team?
This was beyond tolerance!
This time, Zeng Xiaomei firmly refused to compromise!
Seeing Zeng Xiaomei’s firm attitude, the manager looked distressed and had to turn to explain the situation to Violet’s agent standing nearby.
After listening, Violet’s agent revealed a smile, looked at Zeng Xiaomei, and said in English: “Ms. Zeng, hello, I’m Foster. Miss Violet needs to borrow your lounge. If you’re unwilling to leave, that’s fine, but we hope you can allow our dance team to come in.”
“We have our own team and can’t accommodate your people,” Zeng Xiaomei, who understood English, replied coldly.
“Oh? I don’t see your team anywhere,” Foster scanned the lounge behind her and smiled.
“They’re not here at the moment, but they’ll be back soon,” Zeng Xiaomei said firmly.
Foster smiled and shook his head, a hint of contempt appearing in his eyes, saying: “Ms. Zeng, I understand your thoughts. But I must tell you, without a lounge, our performance cannot proceed, and this responsibility… I’m afraid you can’t bear it.”
Foster’s words had no trace of subtlety.
His meaning was very clear.
If Qiu Kelan didn’t give up the lounge, Violet’s side would cancel the performance!
This was a direct threat!
Hearing Foster’s words, the manager’s face changed dramatically.
Guangda Group had paid a huge price to invite Violet, and if there was a problem here, he would certainly be held responsible!
“Miss Zeng, please try to understand our work, it’s just a lounge…” the manager persuaded in a low voice, “If this really leads to a canceled performance, it won’t be good for anyone.”
It’s clearly Violet’s side being unreasonable, why should we bear the responsibility!?
Zeng Xiaomei’s face turned ashen with anger, saying: “You don’t need to say more, we absolutely will not…”
“Sister Mei, it’s okay,” a pleasant voice came from behind at this moment.
Qiu Kelan slowly walked to the door and said gently: “We’re willing to give up the lounge. I hope tonight’s program can proceed smoothly.”
“Thank you for understanding, Miss Qiu!” the manager said with great joy.
Foster glanced at Qiu Kelan and smiled, “Miss Qiu is indeed understanding, thank you.”
After speaking, Foster turned and left.
“Then, please, Miss Qiu and your team, temporarily leave the lounge. I will find a smaller lounge for you and your team to rest in…” the manager said.
Qiu Kelan nodded and turned to instruct her assistant to pack up their belongings.
By now, Zeng Xiaomei was trembling with anger.
This was simply too much!
And Qiu Kelan had even accepted it!
“Sister Kelan, why did you accept? They’re being so unreasonable, you could have refused!” Tang Xiaorou stepped forward with furrowed brows.
“There’s no need for conflict,” Qiu Kelan said softly. “I just want to successfully complete tonight’s performance without disappointing my fans.”
Tang Xiaorou wanted to say something more but ultimately held back.
She had known Qiu Kelan since she was very young and knew that Qiu Kelan had always been this gentle.
Just as the assistants were quickly packing up, a group of blonde, blue-eyed foreign women walked to the lounge door.
Behind them came a woman with delicate features and a voluptuous figure, with silver hair, wearing a gorgeous white gauze dress.
The silver-haired woman walked to the door, looked at Qiu Kelan, then at Tang Xiaorou, and asked with a smile: “Which one is Miss Qiu? I’m Violet, and I’ve come specifically to thank you for giving up the lounge for my dance team.”
“Because I personally need to meditate for a while before performing, and during that time it must be quiet around me…”
“So, when I go out to perform, I generally need the organizers to arrange two lounges for me.”
Hearing these words, Zeng Xiaomei, who had calmed down somewhat, turned pale with anger again.
Need to meditate before performing?
What kind of strange habit is that?
Why should Qiu Kelan give up her lounge to accommodate Violet’s habits?
The more Zeng Xiaomei thought about it, the angrier she became, and she stepped forward again, wanting to argue.
But Qiu Kelan held her back, stopping her with a look.
“I am Qiu Kelan,” Qiu Kelan stepped forward, still maintaining her smile.
“Thank you, Miss Qiu,” Violet extended her right hand.
Qiu Kelan didn’t refuse, and they shook hands.
Two minutes later, Fang Yu followed behind Tang Xiaorou as they left the original lounge.
“Xiaorou, you all go wait outside first. I’ll probably also visit the VIP box later,” Qiu Kelan said to Tang Xiaorou.
“Um… okay,” Tang Xiaorou replied.
So, they separated.
Qiu Kelan went to another lounge, while Tang Xiaorou and Fang Yu left the backstage area.
“I’m so angry! Sister Kelan’s status in Huaxia is no lower than Violet’s in the Western Region! What gives Violet the right to be so arrogant!?” Tang Xiaorou said indignantly. “It’s bad enough that she took the final performance slot, now she’s even taking the lounge! And Sister Kelan just keeps giving in. If it were me…”
“Is this Violet also famous?” Fang Yu originally didn’t care about this matter, but hearing Tang Xiaorou go on and on, he casually asked.
“Violet… is indeed famous, but her recognition in Huaxia is definitely not as high as Sister Kelan’s!” Tang Xiaorou said.
As Tang Xiaorou was speaking, Fang Yu suddenly noticed several people approaching from the opposite direction.
The aura emanating from this group of people made Fang Yu’s expression change slightly, and he immediately turned to look at them.
They were a group of Western Region people dressed in suits, walking very hurriedly.
Because there were too many people on the path, they didn’t notice Fang Yu walking to the side.
But Fang Yu noticed the man in the middle of the group.
Drachi?
With just one glance, Fang Yu recognized him as one of the three Grand Dukes he had encountered before on the snowy plains of the Western Region.
At that time, Fang Yu had dealt with Duke Murray, while his companions Drachi and White had run away quickly, giving Fang Yu no chance to act.
“What is he doing here?” Fang Yu’s face showed confusion.
The strength of a Grand Duke was equivalent to the peak of the Huaxia martial world’s Fusion Stage, perhaps slightly higher, but not yet at the Integration Stage.
Logically, a figure of Grand Duke’s level should not appear in a place like this.
“You go back first, I’m going to the bathroom,” Fang Yu said to Tang Xiaorou.
“Huh?” Tang Xiaorou was stunned for a moment, and was about to say something when she turned her head and found that Fang Yu had already disappeared.
…
Fang Yu concealed his presence and silently followed behind Drachi’s group.
He saw Drachi’s group walk to the doors of two separate lounges at the very end.
“You all wait outside,” Drachi instructed the people behind him.
Then, he knocked on the door of the lounge at the very end.
This lounge belonged to Miss Violet, whom they had just met.
