Assistant Liu stormed off from Tengyue and took out his phone to call Cao Jie.

"Young Master Cao."

"Is everything taken care of?"

In Cao Jie's eyes, this matter was definitely a sure thing. Assistant Liu pursed his lips and said nervously, "The negotiation failed."

Cao Jie's expression changed abruptly, his eyes turning cold: "The negotiation failed? What were you doing there? You can't even handle something this simple?"

"It's Tengyue's boss who doesn't know what's good for her. She actually asked for 50 million. It's even more ruthless than robbery."

Cao Jie scoffed lightly, then suddenly sneered, "Fifty million? She really thinks she's something special."

He angrily hung up the phone, and Xu Ziqian and Banshan, who were standing next to him, also looked extremely gloomy.

Banshan was the most anxious: "Tengyue won't budge, what should we do?"

Cao Jie said coldly, "Since Tengyue wants to fight me, then let them suffer the consequences. You should issue a statement on Weibo now, saying that you accept the challenge from that pioneer. I don't believe I can't destroy her."

"Is this going to work? We're going to Jinling Hall. If I lose, I'm really finished."

Cao Jie glared at Banshan impatiently: "Look at your pathetic self. There's still time, isn't there? Go and read the script a few more times tonight."

Xu Ziqian said, "This is the only way for now. There is a lot of relevant knowledge in it. It would be best to ask a criminal investigation expert to explain it to you. As long as we hold the copyright, let's see what Tengyue can do."

When Cao Jie returned to the company, he gave Assistant Liu a severe dressing-down before he could calm down.

As soon as Assistant Liu left, the office door opened with a knock.

"Knock knock knock"

"Come in!"

The female secretary pushed open the door and walked in: "Mr. Cao, Miss Bai Xiruo has arrived."

Cao Jie rubbed his throbbing temples, and thinking of Bai Xiruo's pure and elegant face, his anger subsided.

"Please let her in."

Bai Xiruo walked into the office and saw Cao Jie sitting on the sofa in the reception area, his slender body nestled in the sofa, his deep eyes staring intently at her.

Cao Jie spoke first: "I'm sorry, something came up today and the party might be a few days later. Miss Bai, please have a seat."

Bai Xiruo walked to the single sofa next to her and sat down: "Mr. Cao, is today's news true?"

Cao Jie guessed Bai Xiruo's purpose in coming, and with a half-smile, he looked at her.

"We, Fansheng, are one of the top four streaming platforms in the industry. Do we need to plagiarize other people's scripts?"

Seeing that Cao Jie didn't take today's news to heart, Bai Xiruo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was hoping to win an award with this drama. If it really was a plagiarized script, any further controversy would greatly affect the actors' reputations.

So after much deliberation, she decided to come and ask in person today.

"But why would Tengyue's screenwriter, who's known as the pioneer, publicly attack Banshan? And why did it even alarm Jinling Hall? Is there anything wrong with Banshan's side?"

Cao Jie leaned closer to Bai Xiruo, a hint of flirtatiousness in his eyes, and reached out to grab Bai Xiruo's hand.

Bai Xiruo's face turned pale with fright, and she nervously tried to pull her hand back, but Cao Jie held on tightly.

"Darling, don't worry. As long as you're with me, you can film any kind of TV series you want. The series 'Seven Deadly Sins' has a very good chance of winning the three major awards. Whether you can become the female lead in this series depends entirely on your performance."

After saying that, he gently lifted Bai Xiruo's hand and placed a kiss on the back of her delicate, fair hand.

A hint of hesitation and struggle flashed in Bai Xiruo's eyes.

Considering my current situation, I don't know how long I'll have to wait if I don't seize this opportunity.

Having quickly made a decision in her mind, Bai Xiruo's stiff body gradually softened.

A burning desire flashed in Cao Jie's eyes. He stepped forward, picked Bai Xiruo up in his arms, and hurriedly headed towards his lounge.
