As Xu Milu was lamenting her life, the three people finally saw that there was still a living person around.
Yang Wanli's expression immediately changed. He was about to say something when he saw Hu Jiang confidently walk over:
"Hi, you're my fan, right? I didn't expect you to recognize me even though I was dressed up. Let me sign your autograph. I was just rehearsing my lines with my manager. Could you please keep this a secret from others?"
As he spoke, he winked, thinking he looked quite dashing, every gesture screaming, "Isn't this enough to seduce you?"
Xu Milu felt a pain in her eyes. She had excellent eyesight and could immediately see the rough skin hidden under the thick foundation. What was worse, there was a clump of yellow, unidentified substance hanging behind the other person's eyelashes.
It was so greasy and made my eyes water.
She couldn't resist any longer and immediately called Cui Qingli:
"Hello? Is this Qingli? Your company's former artist and former manager are trying to harass me and have even verbally threatened me. Should I call the police or do you handle this privately?"
Then she watched as their faces turned green at a visible speed, just like the wilted rapeseed in the field.
...
...
"You actually have the nerve to show your face? Yang Wanli, haven't I treated you well? You tricked my artists into signing dual contracts to coax them into switching companies, and now you're even stealing resources from the company? You can go back and wait for your lawyer's letter!"
As expected, Cui Qingli exploded upon seeing Yang Wanli, and Xu Milu didn't try to stop her, but instead repeated their conversation verbatim.
—This once again demonstrated Cui Qingli's excellent memory.
"Oh, Mr. Cui, that's not how it works. As the old saying goes, 'People strive for higher positions, water flows downhill.' I can offer artists better treatment, and they willingly follow me. What's this talk of deception?"
Yang Wanli was indeed thick-skinned; he immediately changed the subject as soon as he opened his mouth:
"You came here because of inside information? Hey, I'm not trying to be mean, but is this a place you can come to? Oh, I remember who this is, isn't she that 'Little Sister Li Ning' who was all over the internet a while ago? What, I can understand that the company is short-staffed right now, but you're signing someone like this, who's so bland and unappealing? You're really desperate, aren't you?"
? ? ?
Is it bland and watery?
Xu Milu swore this was the first time anyone had described her like that. Although she was afraid that someone might notice her changes and was deliberately faking it, she absolutely could not be called "ugly".
"Now I finally know what it means to look down on someone."
Cui Qingli sneered, her eyes darting around as she came up with an idea. She deliberately flashed her park access badge and loudly proclaimed:
"Some people have opportunities practically dangling in their faces, but there's nothing you can do about it; they're just useless! Come, come, let me introduce you. This is my dear junior aunt. She's the founder of the Rice Food Shop and has a life-or-death friendship with President Ren of Honghe Technology. I only managed to get a few shots for Xiao Yun and the others because of my junior aunt's connections—oh my, Hu Jiang and Ge Dongdong are here too? I really didn't notice you two earlier. Are you here to shoot an advertisement as well? Didn't they say Yang Wanli has good resources? Are you two the main characters or just the spokespeople?"
As if to verify her words, before Yang Wanli could even utter a rebuttal, they shouted that they were going to start filming—Xiao Yun and Liu Qing flew gracefully overhead on their flying vehicles, and the camera followed them.
Yang Wanli looked at Xu Milu with a hint of fear. If the camera had captured his face, it would surely have turned from pale to red, and then from red to pale again.
Looking at Hu Jiang and Ge Dongdong on the other side, the former's eyes were wide open like copper bells, while the latter's eyes were full of regret, as if his intestines would be blue if they were pulled out.
So close!
It was so close!!
It was so close!
The two of them were already the top male and female stars at Lijing Entertainment. If they just persevered a little longer, this great opportunity would be theirs!
That's Honghe Technology!
Hu Jiang dared not show any resentment, but Ge Dongdong, standing to the side, glared at Yang Wanli with eyes that could have thrown knives.
The three men's expressions changed in turn, like a traffic light. Hu Jiang had no intention of offending them at all, and kept saying "sorry" with utmost sincerity. This attitude of being arrogant at first and obsequious at the same time was really ridiculous.
Cui Qingli refused to let the other party off the hook, and sighed with feigned regret:
"Oh! President Ren is so good to my junior aunt. He even prepared an invitation to the charity gala next month for her. My junior aunt couldn't refuse it. President Ren personally sent someone to deliver it. I was fortunate enough to meet President Ren when the Honghe Science and Technology Creative Park opened."
"Sigh, you're right. A loser like me can only cling to my junior aunt's coattails. By the way, I heard those invitations were hard to get. Actress Qin Qi's team reportedly spent eight figures just to barely get one, right? Really? Brother Yang, you're so amazing, and you didn't even get an invitation?"
After this embellishment, Ge Dongdong felt an urge to devour Yang Wanli whole.
Xu Milu didn't mention anything else, but only said to Yang Wanli with a sincere expression:
"Don't worry, I hate bullying people the most, and I don't hold grudges. I absolutely won't stop them from letting you in just because you called me ugly, I absolutely won't have security kick him out just because he harassed me, and I certainly won't have Honghe Group's legal department sue you just because you ran away with Lijing Entertainment's information—"
The two, uncle and nephew, sang in unison, their tone consistently obsequious and smug, enough to drive anyone mad.
Yang Wanli was almost in tears: This guy doesn't hold grudges?!
If this isn't considered holding a grudge, then what kind of grudge do you hold?!
You're saying that backwards, aren't you?
But he was still somewhat unwilling to believe it, and without saying a word, he led Hu Jiang and Ge Dongdong into the park.
What if?
What if they were just bluffing?
Having already received the news, the security personnel politely "invited" the three people out again.
Yang Wanli's last bit of hope was immediately shattered like a burst bubble.
He was like a defeated goose, utterly dejected and speechless.
Despite the security personnel speaking softly and acting without any rudeness, Hu Jiang and Ge Dongdong still felt that they were being mocked from all sides.
Hu Jiang stared intently at Xiao Yun as she filmed, his eyes filled with jealousy and resentment.
Xiao Yun used to be a supporting actor for him, but now he doesn't even have the qualifications to be an extra for Xiao Yun. Who can bear such a psychological gap?
Moreover, he wasn't exactly a magnanimous person to begin with.
Ge Dongdong obviously couldn't accept it either. If looks could kill, Yang Wanli would probably be dead by now.
The three of them were utterly humiliated and slunk into the van. They were back the same way they had come. Just before the door closed, Xu Milu saw Ge Dongdong waving her meticulously manicured nails at Yang Wanli's face.
She couldn't help but shake her head.
No wonder the domineering CEOs in novels love to slap people in the face; it does feel pretty good.
