164: Chapter 164 Calling the Police?
Han Chunhua gently patted her shaking hand, a flicker of determination in her eyes.
"Chen Shaoping, so you're actually such a filthy person. To think I used to like the songs you wrote."
"It seems I was truly blind."
She was filled with righteous indignation, becoming more agitated as she spoke. "Hurry up and apologize to Liu Yan, and promise never to harass her again. Otherwise, I'm calling the police."
Han Chunhua said this, but she had already made calculations in her heart.
She wanted to expose this matter and let more people know Young Master Ping's true face.
If she could force Young Master Ping out of the Entertainment Industry, it would be perfect.
She would definitely gain many followers and might even become famous.
If she live-streamed makeup tutorials again and sold some makeup products, she would surely be very popular.
At this thought, the corners of her mouth curled up involuntarily, and her hand unconsciously scratched her itchy cheek.
Chen Shaoping was almost amused by Supervisor Han's behavior. To be so blatantly biased yet speak with such self-righteousness.
However, didn't she want to call the police?
Chen Shaoping thought the same.
The surrounding people also began to criticize Chen Shaoping, telling him to apologize.
Some even told him to get out of the Entertainment Industry.
Zhou Bule gritted his teeth, not knowing why a perfectly fine situation had turned out like this.
However, he trusted Chen Shaoping completely. He had seen Liu Yan's tricks with his own eyes and shouted angrily.
"What nonsense are you people talking? Watch out, or we'll..."
Before Zhou Bule could finish, Chen Shaoping pulled him back. "Bu Lie, calm down. I'll handle this."
Chen Shaoping pulled Zhou Bule behind him and faced Han Chunhua with a calm expression.
"Supervisor Han, you mentioned calling the police. I completely agree. Let's call the police then."
Not to mention the evidence still on the ground, even the camera on his chest had recorded the entire incident clearly.
He really couldn't see any possibility of losing this confrontation.
"Will you do it, or should I?" he added.
Han Chunhua looked at the calm Chen Shaoping and felt he was just bluffing. She let out a contemptuous laugh.
"Keep acting, keep it up. Let's see how I expose your hypocritical face."
She took out her phone, ready to call the police.
Liu Yan, who was still in Han Chunhua's arms, was startled. She quickly broke free and said urgently.
"Supervisor Han, there's no need to call the police. It's rehearsal time right now. If the police come, the impact will be too negative."
Then, she bowed slightly to the people around her, her eyes turning red and her voice weak, with just the right amount of sobbing.
"I've taken up everyone's time, I'm sorry."
"However, I don't want to make a big deal out of it. I forgive Young Master Ping."
"Everyone, please disperse. You're all very busy."
She then lowered her head toward Chen Shaoping and said sincerely, "Young Master Ping, I was wrong. Please spare me."
"No one has suffered any actual loss. Let's just end it here, alright?"
The surrounding people immediately began to murmur again.
"I couldn't tell before, but Liu Yan is quite sensible, knowing how to consider the bigger picture. If I encountered something so disgusting, I'd definitely demand justice."
"Clearly not in the wrong, yet she takes the blame herself just to give the other person a way out and settle things. I'm a fan now."
"Exactly. Looks like I'll have to pay more attention to her in the future. Maybe I can introduce her to some makeup work for film crews."
"As a leader, if I had an employee like this, I'd be moved to tears."
"I didn't expect Young Master Ping to be such a person, morally bankrupt."
Zhou Bule heard these comments and was furious, retorting loudly.
"You don't know anything! President Chen did it to protect me!"
...
If the previous intervention was out of a leader's protection for an employee, or a dislike for Chen Shaoping's 'vulgar' behavior...
At this moment, Han Chunhua truly saw Liu Yan in a new light.
She even felt a bit annoyed. Having worked together for so many years, how had she never noticed Liu Yan's virtues?
She scratched her face a few times, then scratched her back.
Then she said, "Liu Yan, what are you afraid of? We are in the right; we should stand our ground."
"We can't let a bad person go. If we let him go this time, who knows how many more women will suffer."
Chen Shaoping looked at Han Chunhua as if she were an idiot. How did someone with this IQ become a supervisor?
Then, his sharp gaze fell on Liu Yan. She was truly a clever woman.
Not only was she a natural at acting.
She also knew how to play the victim to gain sympathy from those around her.
Most importantly, her final apology—others didn't realize it, thinking she was making a choice out of necessity.
Only Chen Shaoping knew she was truly apologizing and truly begging him to let her off.
But hadn't she thought about it?
Once Chen Shaoping accepted her apology, in the eyes of outsiders, wouldn't it just confirm his guilt?
Or did she think Chen Shaoping would give in to the surrounding pressure and agree to her request?
Chen Shaoping looked at Liu Yan indifferently, his voice like bone-chilling ice. "You forgive me, but I haven't forgiven you."
"Since you won't call the police, I will."
Chen Shaoping took out his phone, ready to dial 110.
Liu Yan's face turned pale, as ashen as death. Her body trembled, and her eyes filled with despair.
"Young Master Ping, wait a moment." Director Ji appeared before everyone at some point.
"Calling the police would have too big an impact. None of us can take that responsibility."
"Since you don't want to let things slide, how about we go to my office to talk?"
Although Director Ji didn't know exactly what had happened, seeing Liu Yan's appearance and Chen Shaoping's expression...
And considering how Liu Yan had been constantly asking him about personnel changes in the singer lineup last night...
He had guessed a bit of it.
So, seeing Liu Yan's dejected and helpless state, although he felt bad for her, he didn't show any special concern.
He was afraid of being implicated himself.
Chen Shaoping remained expressionless, his heart as hard as stone. "Director Ji, actually, there's no need for such trouble."
"The matter is simple. Everyone has witnessed it from the beginning, and I just want them to continue witnessing it until the end."
Director Ji still wanted to try and help Liu Yan. He had enjoyed last night's pleasure very much and didn't want it to be a one-time thing.
He approached Chen Shaoping and lowered his voice. "Young Master Ping, could you give me some face? Let's go to my office."
"I'll make sure Liu Yan gives you a satisfactory explanation."
Chen Shaoping shook his head and said loudly, "Director Ji, I think it's better to clear things up here."
"It's just a few words. It'll be quick."
He took two steps so everyone could see him clearly.
"Everyone, the matter isn't as complicated as you think."
"The root of everything is in this small bottle on the ground."
"This is what Liu Yan was planning to rub on Zhou Bule's face. Can anyone tell what it is?"
A few curious onlookers stepped closer to the small bottle, looked at it carefully, and then shook their heads.
One of the Makeup Artists said, "I don't know what this is, but I'm certain it's not a cosmetic product."
"Thank you!" Chen Shaoping thanked the Makeup Artist.
"Liu Yan, will you tell them yourself, or should I continue?" Chen Shaoping's gaze was like a torch, fixed on Liu Yan.
