Tian Danni felt a twinge of unease at the amiable look on Su Hao's face.
This smiling tiger must be testing her.
"I might as well sign myself to the company for the rest of my life," she said bluntly. "On the condition that I can share the profits with you, Chairman Su, and you can also gain value from me. It's a mutually beneficial deal, isn't it?"
Su Hao was momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter.
All his previous hesitations vanished at this moment.
This girl was indeed different from Xiao Shujing.
She was bold, dared to act, and was willing to take responsibility for her actions.
She was a rare pawn.
He handed her the peeled apple. Before she could reach out for it, he said, "Then let's toast to our future cooperation in advance?"
Tian Danni paused in confusion. "What cooperation?"
"I heard that you have a pretty good relationship with my son. So I'd like you to do me a favor. I won't let you do it for free."
She had a bad feeling.
"What kind of favor?"
Su Hao lifted his hand slightly. "Seduce my son and make Xiao Shujing leave him."
"Seduce?!"
She never expected that Chairman Su of Su's Entertainment would say such a thing.
"You have a choice, but if you don't eat a peeled apple right away, its skin will oxidize quickly," he said suggestively.
Tian Danni wasn't stupid.
The apple in his hand represented what he had just said. If she took it, it meant she agreed. Even if she didn't take it, he would find other ways to force her.
It was a dead end with no way out. She had no choice.
Seeing that she took the apple, Su Hao beamed with joy.
"I really appreciate you. You're a girl who knows the big picture."
Tian Danni looked at the apple in her hand and asked sullenly, "Chairman Su, can I ask you a question? Why... Why do you want to break them up? They truly love each other."
As she said this, her heart felt like it was being pierced by a thousand needles.
It hurt so much.
"Truly in love?" Su Hao sneered. "There's no love between them, only a relationship of interests. There are countless rich girls who fancy my son. Why did he choose Xiao Shujing in particular?"
"Because that girl is different from the others. She has an air of vulnerability that makes people feel sorry for her. Han was just bewitched by this. But Xiao Shujing may not think the same way. Without Han's support, could she have her current status and achievements?"
It seemed that the rumors in the company were true.
Chairman Su didn't like his subordinates, not even his own son, getting involved in any emotional entanglement with the artists. Once he found out, he would try every means to break them up until one of them completely gave up or quit.
Tian Danni looked at him calmly. "Why did you choose me?"
Su Hao looked into her eyes meaningfully. "You can figure this out."
Yes, the answer was right in front of her.
It was just that Xiao Shujing was the one currently entangled with Su Minghan. He just found Tian Danni to help. If something happened between her and Su Minghan, there would be another person to take this assisting position.
"You should rest well. I'll send someone to inform you when you've recovered."
Su Hao still had that gentle look on his face. "Happy cooperation."
She watched his back as he left gracefully and fell into deep thought.
Tian Danni knew a bit about the current emotional situation between Xiao Shujing and Su Minghan. No matter how much she liked him or how willing she was to endure the pain, she never thought of intervening forcefully.
Tian Danni thought that as long as she silently stood behind Su Minghan, one day he would notice her goodness. But fate played a cruel joke on her. Su Hao suddenly appeared and completely nipped her plan in the bud.
If he found out, would he never talk to her again?
Thinking of this, Tian Danni was extremely anxious.
What should she do? What on earth... should she do?
In the girls' dormitory of Yancheng University.
"Brother-in-law, aren't you going to wait for my sister to wake up?"
Xiao Shuyuan stood at the door and asked weakly.
"The doctor said she just has a bit of anemia. It's nothing serious."
Su Minghan glanced at his watch. It was already past ten in the morning.
"I have something to do in the company, so I won't stay any longer."
"But..."
While hesitating, he also glanced at his phone screen.
The screen was full of warning messages from Yan Yueyue.
She said that he must stay and that all their efforts would be in vain if he left.
"Enough!" Su Minghan looked obviously angry at his reaction.
He felt extremely self - reproachful and guilty for leaving Tian Danni, whose injury hadn't fully healed, in the car halfway yesterday. But he still rushed to the school in a hurry. As a result, there was nothing wrong. Now Xiao Shuyuan was blocking him at the dormitory door, stuttering and unable to say a clear word.
Xiao Shuyuan looked at his gloomy face and felt very embarrassed.
"Brother-in-law, my sister has really been haggard these days. She..."
"Who's your brother-in-law?" Su Minghan retorted. "I'm no longer in a relationship with her. It was she who firmly wanted to break up with me to bail you two out. Don't try to get close to me now, okay?"
Inside the dormitory, Xiao Shujing was in tears.
"Yueyue, he's still angry. What should I do?"
"This A Yuan used to be so good at sweet - talking girls. Why is he so stupid when it comes to handling interpersonal relationships!"
Yan Yueyue was so angry that she gritted her teeth and suddenly stood up.
"You lie down properly. I'll go out and talk to General Manager Su face - to - face!"
Xiao Shujing immediately grabbed her wrist and shook her head. "Don't go."
"Why? If you don't go, he'll leave!"
Then she suddenly remembered something. "If he leaves from here, he might go to Tian Danni. She's really injured."
"Do you think that little vixen will let General Manager Su go easily? She will surely use all her charm to steal General Manager Su from you! Wake up. Don't be so self - contradictory anymore."
Hearing the name "Tian Danni", Xiao Shujing immediately woke up.
Su Minghan was hers and only hers.
She would never allow him to have feelings for other women.
"Yueyue, wait for five minutes and then bring Minghan in."
"What are you going to do?"
Xiao Shujing looked at the utility knife on her desk. "Don't ask. Make sure to time it right. Don't let Minghan leave!"
Seeing her suddenly become calm and composed, Yan Yueyue was a bit scared.
"Okay, okay, I got it."
To prevent her from becoming hysterical like before, it was better for her to go out quickly, so as not to get involved for no reason.
"General Manager Su, Shujing just woke up."
Yan Yueyue came out of the dormitory with a forced smile.
"What on earth are you guys up to? Trying to persuade me one by one?"
Su Minghan sized her and Xiao Shuyuan up and down.
His about - to - explode expression was obvious.
"No, no, no. We don't mean that."
She nudged Xiao Shuyuan with her elbow. "We just want to apologize to you. We've really reflected on what happened to Miss Tian. We guarantee that we'll never do it again! Please forgive us."
