When Feng Qianxing saw that Qiao Xia recognized him, his expression softened. He then whispered in her ear, "You're no longer the young lady. This isn't something you can get involved in. Go away!"
Qiao Xia ignored him completely and looked directly at President Wang across from her. "I've recorded everything you just said. Forcing underage trainees to drink with you, that's the real scandal in the industry."
"If I were to release what you just said, would other people believe that Jiang Xiaomian is really in a relationship, or would they think that this is a fabricated story you made up?"
Mr. Wang's facial muscles twitched slightly as he gave his bodyguard a wink.
Qiao Xia held her phone under her hand. "Before I came in, I had already synced the recording to the cloud. If I don't receive a call within half an hour, the recording will appear on the desks of all the media."
"Fine, fine, fine!" President Wang pointed at Qiao Xia, his threat obvious.
In the instant he turned around, he grabbed a vase from the shelf and threw it at Qiao Xia, yelling, "Are you fucking crazy? What's it to you?"
Mr. Wang's sudden outburst caught everyone off guard.
Jiang Xiaomian stepped forward worriedly, "Sister!"
Qiao Xia rubbed her ears and calmly waved her hand, "It's nothing."
Mr. Wang picked up a chair and slammed it heavily on the table, venting his emotions, "I beg and plead with everyone all day long for investment, why can't I ask him to have a drink with me?"
Boss Wang pointed at Jiang Xiaomian, "Aren't you arrogant? Pack your things and get out of here right now!"
"In that case, there's no need to discuss the investment any further, Xiaomian..."
"It's getting cold, let's bankrupt the Wang family business!" Nana, who had followed us in unnoticed, accidentally blurted out her thoughts.
The tense atmosphere instantly dissipated. Qiao Xia twitched her lips helplessly and said earnestly, "Read less CEO romance novels, girl."
"Wait a minute," Mr. Wang called out to her, "You just said you wanted to invest?"
Qiao Xia remained silent. Mr. Wang carefully examined the designer clothes she was wearing, and with a "nothing to lose" attitude, raised an eyebrow and asked, "How much money can you invest in me?"
Qiao Xia remained silent, but sat down again.
Mr. Wang immediately said, "As long as you can invest enough money in me, I guarantee that this kid will successfully enter the top ranks."
Qiao Xia checked the time, then turned to Jiang Xiaomian and asked, "The performance is about to start. What number is your group going on stage?"
Mr. Wang, understanding the implied meaning, glared at Nana standing to the side and said, "What are you all standing there for? The performance is about to start, why don't you hurry up and get the contestants on stage?"
Qiao Xia gave Jiang Xiaomian a reassuring look and watched him leave.
Afterwards, Qiao Xia checked her account balance and sent a message to Qiao Zhaoxing, asking him to register a film and television company.
Seeing that Qiao Xia remained silent, Boss Wang threatened, "If you can't conjure up some money for me, I'll risk everything and neither of us will survive. I'll make that kid come down the same way he did..."
Qiao Xia ignored his threat and swirled the glass in front of her. "You just said that as long as you can attract investment, drinking with someone is nothing."
"Ah..." Mr. Wang looked at her warily, then took a wig from the bodyguard, adjusted it slightly, and put it on.
He chuckled lewdly, "As long as you can conjure up some money for me, I'm willing to risk my life to accompany you."
The people inside were disgusted by what they saw.
Only Qiao Xia curled her lips into a smile, "No need for drinking with me..."
"Slap—slap—"
Before anyone could react, two cups grazed Mr. Wang's ears and slammed against the wall, while his ridiculous wig fell to the ground.
"After the performance, someone will come and deliver the contract to you. 300 million yuan will be transferred to your company's account before 12:00 midnight."
Ignoring Mr. Wang, who was so frightened he collapsed to the ground, Qiao Xia turned and left gracefully.
Feng Qianxing hurriedly caught up and scolded in a low voice, "What nonsense were you spouting? You'd tell any lie for that Jiang Xiaomian. Do you even know who President Wang is?"
Feng Qianxing looked at Qiao Xia as if she were an ignorant little girl. If he hadn't been certain that the Qiao family was going to collapse, he wouldn't have terminated the contract so readily.
Others might not know, but he did know that the Qiao family had accumulated a lot of debt when they went bankrupt.
Feng Qianxing grabbed her hand. "I know everything you did today was to anger me. Now hurry up and go in to apologize to President Wang. I will definitely plead for you."
Qiao Xia looked at his hand holding hers and said coldly, "Don't force me to slap you on such a nice day."
Under her threatening gaze, Feng Qianxing subconsciously let go of her hand.
As Qiao Xia walked further and further away, he couldn't help but ask, "Where are you going?"
"none of your business!"
Qiao Xia took a few more steps forward, then suddenly turned around. Feng Qianxing's heart shone with renewed hope, only to hear her say, "I remember you're a mentor on the show. If you don't go over now, are you planning to breach your contract again?"
Feng Qianxing's smile froze. She took out her phone and saw that there were indeed dozens of missed calls.
He disregarded everything else and ran quickly towards the scene.
Qiao Xia said quietly from behind him, "Pay back what you owe within three days, or we'll see you in court."
At the performance, Qiao Xia was given the best seat by President Wang, surrounded by fans from various groups holding up light sticks and whispering among themselves, but the atmosphere was surprisingly good.
Judging from the scene, Jiang Xiaomian doesn't seem to be very popular.
With a "buzz" sound effect, the stage lights suddenly went out.
As the song began, Jiang Xiaomian, dressed in a white suit, stood under the spotlight and danced slowly. From afar, she looked like a cold and broken angel, and the audience below the stage gasped in unison.
Immediately afterwards, five or six trainees took the stage one after another and danced in unison.
Until the end, the boys, each with their own distinct expressions, panted heavily and struck an ending pose for the camera.
It has to be said that the trainees recruited by the program team this time are of very high quality. Putting aside their singing and dancing skills, they are all very good-looking.
Qiao Xia increasingly felt that she had made the right decision to invest, and she was still somewhat unsatisfied even after watching the last performance.
In contrast, Qiao Xia's words kept echoing in Feng Qianxing's mind, and he was completely out of sorts whether watching the stage or giving his comments.
This sparked dissatisfaction among many fans at the scene. Before the show even ended, the hashtags "Feng Qianxing is slacking off," "Feng Qianxing is arrogant," and "Feng Qianxing is a member of the royal family" became trending topics.
The production team is really going to great lengths to attract viewers; if you didn't know better, you'd think this year was a talent show featuring Feng Qianxing!
[That doesn't seem wrong, isn't Feng Qianxing considered a member of the royal family during the talent show?]
A fierce battle between fans and critics brought up all of Feng Qianxing's past, so much so that when Qiao Xia issued a statement the next day demanding compensation for breach of contract, she received a lot of support.
