"Why do you think the entire crew is afraid to go against him? Have you seen anyone gutsy enough to step forward and say something about his arrogant and tyrannical behavior?"
Mu Xi added with a shake of her head, "You're the only one who does that!"
"…"
"It explains why I was so terrified of him. When we first joined this production, I didn't dare to meet his eyes. I practically avoided him as best as I could. What if he's a pretty boy? He's just like a poppy flower—beautiful but deadly."
After a brief pause, she continued speaking. "My impression of him has changed, though! You're unaware of this, but during your absence, the crew often gossiped about you, and he would stand up for you whenever someone badmouthed you in his presence. With him coming to your defense, no one, even those who abhor you, dares to speak ill of you again. Look; Lin Zhi's assistant doesn't dare to spin stories about you anymore!"
Her charge fell silent at that.
