Huo Jingting stared at the check in front of him as if he were looking at his own death warrant. His face turned green with anger.
Lan Qing had been staying out of the matter until now. It was a well - thought - out decision. A private termination of the contract would be the best choice, not only for Huo Jingting personally but also for the entire company.
Now seeing Wu Pengpeng being so aggressive and bullying the person under her in front of her, did she really think Lan Qing was a mere decoration?
Lan Qing slammed her phone down on the table, her face cold as she looked at Wu Pengpeng. "What do you mean, Miss Wu?"
Wu Pengpeng looked back at her, smiling. "It means I want him to quit the entertainment circle!"
Lan Qing sneered. "I'm afraid it's not up to you, Miss Wu!"
Seeing that Lan Qing was about to lose her temper, Wu Pengpeng advised patiently, "Don't be angry, President Lan. He's not worth it."
Not worth it?
Huo Jingting was almost driven to the brink of madness by this remark. Before he could retort, Wu Pengpeng continued her verbal onslaught.
"Look at him. He's just average - looking and has no acting skills. He only became popular because you've been force - promoting him. But," she deliberately paused until everyone's curiosity was piqued, then slowly added, "President Lan, have you ever heard the saying 'Forcing someone to be popular will invite divine retribution'?"
Lan Qing frowned at her but didn't answer.
Wu Pengpeng didn't expect a response anyway. She went on, "If the thunder is going to strike him someday, it would be a pity if it hurts you too."
She was cursing him to be struck by lightning!
Lan Qing shot her a cold look. "Miss Wu, watch your mouth, or the thunder might like you more."
Wu Pengpeng giggled. "Don't be angry, President Lan! He's just a tool for capital to reap profits. If he's no good, just replace him. The next one will be more obedient."
Lan Qing actually agreed with this. In fact, she didn't have deep feelings for Huo Jingting. It was just that he had a sweet mouth and was good at pleasing her, so she had kept him around for three years.
She had actually known about his affair with Qin Ledi for a long time and had deliberately turned a blind eye.
But she never expected that they would be so greedy as to extort the staff with a fake loan. If this got out, people might think she was behind it.
Seeing Lan Qing wavering, Wu Pengpeng pressed on. "Of course, President Lan, you can continue to promote him."
"However," she收起 her smile and said coldly, word by word, "from now on, I'll interfere with any resources that are interested in him until he has no place in this circle."
Wu Qing's position in this circle was unshakable. If Wu Pengpeng used his influence to suppress him, he would really never have a chance to rise again.
Huo Jingting was so angry that his face turned red. "Wu Pengpeng, don't push me too far!"
Wu Pengpeng glanced at him indifferently, showing not a trace of emotion on her face. "I just want to bully you. What can you do about it?"
He really couldn't do anything to her.
"Why?" Huo Jingting was in despair. "Why are you doing this to me?"
Because a piece of trash like you doesn't deserve to be an idol. You're just a bad influence on those kids whose values aren't fully formed yet.
Wu Pengpeng gave an annoying smile. "Because I'm happy!"
After saying that, she didn't bother to look at Huo Jingting's reaction. Instead, she shifted her gaze to Lan Qing. "President Lan, I've taken a fancy to your company. Name your price."
In fact, Huo Jingting and Lan Qing were two of a kind. Since she was here today, she'd deal with them both.
"Name any price you want. It doesn't matter how much it is because I promised someone that I'd buy a company for him."
You want to buy my company just because you want to give a company to someone?
But the condition of "naming any price" was really tempting. Just as Lan Qing was hesitating whether to ask for an astronomical price and sell the company, the door of the meeting room opened.
Wu Pengpeng saw Lan Qing's eyes light up, and then Lan Qing looked away and said, "I won't sell!"
"You're making things difficult for me," Wu Pengpeng leaned back in her chair. "I've already promised someone that I'd buy a film and television company for him. If you don't sell it now, I won't know how to explain it to him."
Lan Qing didn't even look at her. Instead, she smiled and looked at the newcomer. "He Qianshan."
He Qianshan walked straight to Wu Pengpeng's side and sat down. He turned his head and looked at her. "Explain to whom?"
"To you!" Seeing that he seemed to be in a better mood, Wu Pengpeng quickly forced a smile. "I thought you left in anger."
Looking at her cautious eyes, He Qianshan's annoyance vanished.
He had originally planned to go to the top floor to get some fresh air, but then he received a call from Fu Heng saying that there was an urgent document that needed his attention. He had been busy until now.
He looked at Wu Pengpeng and gave a gentle smile. "Do you think I'm that petty?"
Wu Pengpeng was almost knocked out by his dazzling smile. She stiffly shifted her gaze.
Oh, mom! Why is there such a good - looking person in the world, and why did she meet him?
She really wanted to be lost in He Qianshan's stunning beauty!
Lan Qing was also lost in He Qianshan's good looks. Since He Qianshan entered the room, her eyes had never left him.
Seeing his intimate interaction with Wu Pengpeng, Lan Qing felt a little uncomfortable.
Such a peerless beauty was a once - in - a - lifetime encounter. She wasn't willing to give up just like that.
"Mr. He," she looked at He Qianshan, trying to maintain an elegant posture. "I asked Li Cheng to talk to you some time ago. Did he not convey my message clearly?"
He Qianshan lifted his eyelids and glanced at her indifferently. "It was clear, but I refused. I'm an actor, not a gigolo in a club."
Lan Qing was taken aback by his straightforward words.
She forced a smile. "I think you misunderstood me, Mr. He. I was asking if you were interested in signing with our company."
He Qianshan refused without hesitation. "No."
Lan Qing still didn't give up. "Think about it seriously. If you sign with us, you'll be the top star of Lantian Entertainment."
He Qianshan remained unmoved. "I won't consider it."
Hadn't he asked Fu Heng to take care of this company half a month ago? Why was it still intact?
Was Fu Heng getting cocky, or was he, He Qianshan, losing his edge?
He Qianshan took out his phone and sent a message to Fu Heng. "How's the entertainment company I asked you to deal with before?"
"Which one?" He had asked him to deal with several entertainment companies, so Fu Heng wasn't sure which one he was referring to for a moment.
He Qianshan replied, "Lantian Entertainment."
Fu Heng was stunned when he saw the name, and then replied, "It's taken care of."
After thinking for a while, he added, "Don't worry. When have I ever made a mistake in the things I handle personally?"
He Qianshan's star - like eyes darkened. This guy had actually learned to lie?
"Really?" He typed slowly, showing no emotion on his face. "Then why is Lan Qing still sitting across from me, offering ten million for one night with me? Why don't you take my place?"
Fu Heng spat out a mouthful of water onto the computer screen. Was this woman crazy?
He didn't even bother to clean up the mess. He quickly typed a reply. "Boss He, listen to my explanation."
