"Hahaha! Star Qin, our Bro Qi has really had a hard time finding you. Hurry up and have a few drinks with him to calm him down. Otherwise, if he gets upset, your concert... hehe, it might not happen!"

"Just because you have some family power and became a celebrity, do you really think you’re a pure and innocent girl? You’re just a performer!"

The two behind the young man sneered sarcastically.

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan’s brow furrowed tightly, but he did not act immediately. Instead, he crossed his arms in front of his chest and looked at the several young men with a cold smile.

Qin Si Xuan’s face was also immediately filled with anger as she shouted, "Liu Qi, don’t push your luck, or you’ll bear the consequences yourself!"

"Hehe! Star Qin, I know your Qin Family has some power, but our family and yours aren’t in the same department. Your father can’t control us, but... whether this Bird’s Nest is used or what the fee is, it’s all up to my old man."

"Honestly, have a drink with us today, and nothing will happen. If I’m happy, I might waive the Bird’s Nest fee. Otherwise... hehe, I fear your concert won’t go off!"

The young man named Liu Qi sneered arrogantly.

Threats!

These were blatant threats!

After hearing this, Qin Si Xuan clenched her fists tightly together, her face showing some helplessness!

She wasn’t worried about the venue fee since the company would cover it. But if the Bird’s Nest couldn’t be used, countless fans would be disappointed, and her reputation would suffer.

More importantly, as Liu Qi said, his father is in the military, and their families are not in the same department. They can’t interfere with each other, and if Liu Qi is determined to have his father close the Bird’s Nest, preventing Qin Si Xuan from using it, it’s really not a difficult matter!

"Mr. Liu, Miss Qin still has to rehearse. If a drink is really necessary, I hope Mr. Liu can wait until after Miss Qin’s concert. If Mr. Liu wants to drink tonight, I happen to have some good wine at my place. Why don’t I invite you gentlemen for a drink at my expense!"

Zhou immediately stood up and said.

"Hah! Who do you think you are to drink with me?" Liu Qi spat, not caring at all about Zhou.

Zhou’s face changed but was angry yet dared not speak, as compared to Liu Qi’s family power, she was just a small agent, like an ant!

"I say, you Zhou, bitch, didn’t you understand what I said last time I came? Hmph! Since you ignored my words, no one will use the Bird’s Nest today!"

"But..."

Liu Qi then looked at Qin Si Xuan, his drunken eyes narrowing, glimmering with a strange light, and said, "If Star Qin accompanies us, I might change my mind. Don’t worry, Star Qin, just a few drinks is all it takes, and we won’t bully you."

While saying this, Liu Qi kept laughing arrogantly.

Even though Liu Qi only mentioned drinking, if something were added to the drink or something else happened, Qin Si Xuan wouldn’t be able to resist, and there would be no evidence of wrongdoing. The so-called drinking was just a trick used by these rich kids to fool young girls!

Qin Si Xuan was no fool and wouldn’t agree!

"Not speaking? Does Star Qin know how to resist smartly? Fine! You’re ruthless, I’m even more ruthless! There’s someone who wants to rent the Bird’s Nest on the day of your concert and is offering double your price! So hear this, everyone, get out of the Bird’s Nest immediately!" Liu Qi shouted.

The workers, hearing this, were all scared and stopped their work, not knowing whether to leave or stay.

In a moment, Lin Fan also understood what was happening!

Because of different departments, the Qin Family couldn’t intervene in the Bird’s Nest department, which made Liu Qi so arrogant. Liu Qi had approached earlier and met Zhou, wanting Qin Si Xuan to drink with him.

But it seemed Zhou didn’t agree, so they came today!

"Just a bunch of disgusting rich brats; compared to Yanjing’s four young masters, they’re way off! No wonder they’re still acting like hooligans!" Lin Fan shook his head disapprovingly, not interested in Liu Qi and his group at all.

Competing with them felt like an insult to his intelligence!

However, Lin Fan did not take the initiative to act or speak because the previous ordeal involving Qin Si Xuan’s former agent left a lingering concern in his mind, and he wanted to see how Zhou would perform. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Zhou didn’t disappoint Lin Fan and firmly said, "Mr. Liu, whatever price someone else offers, our company can match it. But Miss Qin really has to rehearse and has no time. If Mr. Liu doesn’t mind, after the concert, I and Miss Qin would personally come to have a drink and apologize. How about that?"

"Stupid woman! Do you think I’m an idiot? After the concert, you’ll just leave and not acknowledge me. Wouldn’t I have been tricked?" Liu Qi shouted.

"Mr. Liu..."

Pa~

Zhou was about to speak, but a crisp sound suddenly rang out!

Just as Liu Qi waved his hand, he slapped Zhou to the ground, her mouth bleeding.

"Zhou! Are you okay?" Qin Si Xuan rushed to Zhou’s side anxiously, concerned.

"Don’t worry! I’m fine! Miss Qin, no matter what, don’t give in to this brat!" Zhou instructed Qin Si Xuan.

"Don’t worry, Zhou. I understand!" Qin Si Xuan nodded firmly.

"Hehe! You really are tough, Star Qin. You only have two choices: either cancel the concert, or have a drink with us. Decide for yourself!" Liu Qi sneered.

"Forget it, I won’t drink with you! But, I’m not to be trifled with. Let’s wait and see!" Qin Si Xuan said coldly.

"Stupid woman, you dare threaten me, you’re asking for it!"

Liu Qi shouted and immediately raised his arm to slap Qin Si Xuan!

Qin Si Xuan instinctively leaned back, closing her beautiful eyes anxiously.

However, after a moment, the slap didn’t fall on Qin Si Xuan. When she curiously opened her eyes, she was shocked to find Liu Qi’s arm suspended in mid-air, held tightly by an iron grip of a hand.

Undoubtedly, it was Lin Fan who intervened!

Others around were also surprised, not expecting anyone would dare offend Liu Qi in the Bird’s Nest; for Liu Qi’s followers, this was sheer recklessness!

Yet, there wasn’t a trace of fear on Lin Fan’s face; instead, he looked relaxed, grasping Liu Qi’s wrist as though without effort. Holding a cigarette in his mouth, he took a long drag and carelessly blew out smoke rings!
