Gu Sitian indeed had money and didn't treat this small sum seriously. As long as she could make Gu Qianqian uncomfortable, she didn't mind suffering a significant loss.
However, the problem was, it was her decision to carelessly throw around money, yet Gu Qianqian's remark made Sitian uncomfortable.
She felt that if she was to compensate the audience ten times the ticket price, it would seem like she was obeying Gu Qianqian's orders.
How could that be?
So, in a moment of impulsive hot-headedness, she voluntarily increased the compensation to twenty times the ticket price.
Moreover, she even had her assistant bring over several hundreds of thousands of cash on the spot, ready to distribute it to her audience in front of Gu Qianqian.
Seeing her deliberate attempt to humiliate Gu Qianqian, Qianqian didn't react much, whereas Bai Cenxi was so angry he dragged her into the hall for a fierce argument.
