The blinding flash from the camera made it difficult to keep one's eyes open. Director Wang vaguely regained consciousness from his daze, struggled a bit, but ended up falling under the table.
Yao Qing instinctively closed her eyes from the flash, and when she opened them again, a dark mass of people loomed before her.
The microphone was thrust in front of her, and a sea of unfamiliar but mocking faces emerged.
"We received a tip that a woman and Director Wang met at the hotel late at night. Are you Director Wang's girlfriend? But just last month, during an interview, he said that he had no intention of dating at the moment. So, are you an artist under Director Wang? I've heard that 'night scripts' are quite the trend now." Yao Qing hadn't recovered yet when a barrage of sharp questions was hurled at her.
The reporter, holding a microphone labeled "Entertainment Daily," insinuated sarcasm with a flick of his neat, tidy hair, looking at Yao Qing with a smug smile.
