Wu Pengpeng rushed to Tianfan Building in a hurry. At the entrance, she ran into Zhao Bufan, who was also in a great rush.
Lately, Wu Pengpeng had no idea what Zhao Bufan had been up to as she hadn't seen her for several days.
However, this suited Wu Pengpeng just fine. She was busy squandering money, and Zhao Bufan would always find ways to stop her whenever she was around, which was really a headache.
Zhao Bufan had no idea that she had already been labeled as a nuisance in Wu Pengpeng's mind. Seeing Wu Pengpeng, she joked with a smile, "Hey, why aren't you out enjoying yourself today? What brings you here?"
Wu Pengpeng gave her an annoyed look. "I'm here for work. What on earth are you in such a hurry for? Is the company on fire?"
"Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!" Zhao Bufan gave her a sharp look and pretended to slap her mouth. Wu Pengpeng dodged backward, and Zhao Bufan let it go. She then pressed the elevator button.
"We had a project going well before. But now that the production team knows you've acquired 'Lantian', they're asking for a price hike. I refused, and they quit. I'm back for a meeting to reorganize a new team."
Just give them the money. It would be such a great chance to squander.
Wu Pengpeng quickly grasped the opportunity. "Just give them the money. I can afford it. Why bother yourself over such a trivial matter?"
Zhao Bufan firmly refused. "It's not about the money. If we set this precedent, everyone will think you're an easy target. They'll just take advantage of you!"
Wu Pengpeng thought to herself, Please set this precedent quickly. Let them come and ask for my money!
Zhao Bufan sneered with a hint of contempt. "We can't spoil them like this."
Wu Pengpeng knew Zhao Bufan's character. If she insisted further, it would only backfire.
So she had to let it go and casually changed the subject. "Have you been busy with this lately?"
Zhao Bufan shook her head. "Not exactly. Before, a geography magazine wanted to form an expedition team and asked us to cooperate. They wanted us to sponsor them financially, and in return, they'd advertise for us. I thought it was a feasible idea, so I went to negotiate with them."
She was going to promote the group's advertisement to the top of the world!
This advertisement obviously cost a fortune, and Wu Pengpeng became interested. "How did the negotiation go?"
Just then, the elevator arrived. Zhao Bufan let out a sigh and walked into the elevator, waving her hand. "Don't even mention it. The geography magazine hopes that we sponsor a photography team of a hundred people, covering all the equipment and expenses."
Even though Wu Pengpeng was eager to squander money, she still thought a team of a hundred people was too exaggerated.
This was not asking for sponsorship but clearly taking advantage of a fool!
However, she liked being that fool and said happily, "This is a win - win situation. We should do it!"
"What win - win situation?" Zhao Bufan seemed to have finally gotten used to her foolishness. Instead of getting angry, she analyzed it with a smile. "We'd spend billions on an advertisement, and the advertising effect might not even be good. We'd just be doing a favor for the geography magazine."
Wu Pengpeng disagreed. "The win lies in the future. If our explorers really discover a world wonder, from then on, the name 'Zhenglin Group' will always be associated with it!"
Zhao Bufan seemed to be convinced by her words but still hesitated. "You're going to spend billions to bet on a wonder that may not even exist. Isn't that too risky?"
The elevator door opened with a "ding". As Wu Pengpeng got out of the elevator, she said indifferently, "I'm not short of that money."
Noticing Zhao Bufan frowning out of the corner of her eye, she quickly changed her words. "Besides, I've been working hard to make money. I can earn it back from several big projects."
Zhao Bufan frowned but didn't say anything.
Seeing that Zhao Bufan's attitude was softening, Wu Pengpeng quickly seized the opportunity. "I know you've been busy lately. Give me the information. I'll follow up on this."
Zhao Bufan hesitated for a while and then nodded. "Okay. I'll send it to you later."
She glanced at her watch and rushed towards the meeting room. "I have to go to the meeting first."
Getting such a great chance to squander money out of the blue, Wu Pengpeng walked towards the artist lounge happily.
Just as she turned the corner, she heard the sound of things being thrown in a room not far away.
Shen Qianqian was standing at the door, looking like she wanted to go in and persuade but was afraid of being attacked. She looked extremely worried.
Wu Pengpeng was really afraid that if she didn't show up, her little assistant would worry herself to death.
She quickly strode over and asked gently, "What's going on?"
Seeing Wu Pengpeng coming, Shen Qianqian seemed to see a savior. Her voice was on the verge of tears. "Sister Peng, Sister Minmin knows about the program group terminating the contract..."
Wu Pengpeng peeked into the room and saw it was in a complete mess.
All the cosmetics on the table had been swept to the ground and were broken into pieces.
Looking at the furious Ye Minmin, Wu Pengpeng couldn't help but click her tongue. Oh, the beauty Ye has become a table - clearing master.
She leaned against the doorframe with her arms crossed and didn't go in. "What's up?"
Hearing her voice, Ye Minmin turned around. Her beautiful eyes were wide open with anger, as if she wanted to tear a piece of flesh off Wu Pengpeng.
Wu Pengpeng twitched the corner of her mouth and gave her an innocent smile. "What's wrong? Who made you so angry?"
She glanced at Shen Qianqian and asked knowingly, "Who made Sister Min angry?"
Shen Qianqian was an honest girl. She lowered her voice and told everything. "Just now, Sister Minmin called the program group to ask about the shooting schedule. Then she was told that her contract had been terminated, and that's why she's like this."
It was just a contract termination. There was no need to be so angry!
Wu Pengpeng straightened up and cleared her throat. "Sister Min, don't be angry. If this one is terminated, we'll find you another project!"
Her words sounded so easy, but Ye Minmin was filled with anger.
When she first learned that she was going to be on Su Xiangting's program, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep all night.
Su Xiangting really deserved to be the god of variety shows. His programs were like star - making factories. Any artist who participated in his shows would quickly become popular because of their persona in the show.
She had been in obscurity for so long. Finally, she had a chance to make a comeback. She thought she could become a big star and regain her dignity.
Moreover, she had already posted a lot of promotional posts on various social media platforms. She was just about to send a message to every single person who had ever looked down on her to show off.
Now that Wu Pengpeng had done this suddenly, she had lost all her face. She could almost hear everyone's mocking laughter.
Ye Minmin gritted her teeth and stared at Wu Pengpeng. Her beautiful face was distorted with anger. "You didn't say that when you signed me. You said you'd promote me!"
Seeing that she was really angry, Wu Pengpeng felt a bit guilty. At that time, she only considered He Qianshan's feelings and didn't really think about hers.
She said in a good - tempered way, "I didn't say I wouldn't promote you! I'll find you other resources. How about that?"
Anyway, with Ye Minmin's professional ability, no matter how good the resources were, she couldn't achieve much.
If she hyped up with He Qianshan, there was a real possibility that both of them would become popular.
"I want this resource!" Ye Minmin sneered. "If you don't agree to me, I'll expose the fact that you're keeping He Qianshan as your lover. With this stain, let's see how he can still stay in this circle in the future!"
Originally, Wu Pengpeng still felt sorry for her. But hearing her words, she got really angry on the spot.
She just didn't want He Qianshan to become popular within three years, but she never thought of cutting off his future.
Ye Minmin wanted to destroy him if she couldn't get what she wanted. Her mind was really too vicious.
Since she wanted to ruin He Qianshan, Wu Pengpeng couldn't just sit back and do nothing.
Wu Pengpeng narrowed her eyes, and her face turned cold. "Ye Minmin, do you really think Su Xiangting wanted you because of your beauty? With your professional ability, even a hundred Su Xiangtings couldn't save you. If I hadn't spent 50 million to get you in, would you have had the chance to show off in front of the public for so many days?"
Her words were so merciless that Ye Minmin blushed with anger. "Wu Pengpeng, you're going too far!"
"Think whatever you want." Wu Pengpeng was too lazy to entangle with her. Her tone was cold. "Now I'll give you two choices. One, you stay in the company as a pretty face obediently, and I'll cover all your monthly expenses. Two, we terminate the contract right now. I'll just pay you some liquidated damages, and you can do whatever you want in the future!"
Although Ye Minmin was reluctant to admit it, there was no doubt that the first choice was the best for her.
She didn't want to become an ordinary person again, but she was too proud to choose the first one.
Wu Pengpeng knew what she was thinking and didn't force her to make a choice on the spot. She left her enough face.
"You don't have to answer me now. If you choose to stay, come to the company tomorrow. If you want to leave, go to the finance department."
After saying that, she turned around to leave. Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she turned back. Her voice carried a hint of warning. "Oh, by the way, don't hype up with He Qianshan anymore. I don't like it when people I care about are coveted by others."
