Chapter 32: Crazy Day 32 She is my woman, don’t be…
General Assistant 32
On the sixth day, Tan Mo and Lu Xingjian arrived with a group of people on time.
When they arrived at the entrance of Jince Entertainment Company, they naturally split into two columns, led by Tan Mo and Lu Xingjian, and went to their respective places on the left and right.
Lu Xingjian took the legal team to the conference room, and Tan Mo took Jiang Qingya and Jin Yuan to the bathroom, no, the practice room.
Calling it a practice room isn't quite accurate. It's actually a transparent glass observation room connected to the dance studio.
Tan Mo and her friends can sit inside and watch the trainees practice dancing, and the trainees can also see Tan Mo and her group sitting inside.
"...I've loved singing and dancing since I was little. I've participated in competitions at school, city, provincial, and even national levels, and have won good places. As I got older, I yearned for a higher stage, so I signed with Jince Entertainment and entered the industry. It's just my parents..."
Speaking of this, fellow trainee He Kang, sitting in front of Tan Mo, paled in comparison. "They weren't very supportive of me getting into this industry, and they kind of discouraged me along the way."
Tan Mo munched on some melon seeds. "You still have issues with your family of origin?"
He Kang choked up, "I think everyone has this problem to some extent. No parents are perfect, right? So when I was a child, I was hurt by their lack of support for my dreams. However, in these few months at the training camp, I've grown a lot and have gradually reconciled with them."
Tan Mo spat out the melon seed shells and said in surprise, "Huh? Family trauma like this can be reconciled after just a few months?"
"Um."
"You are so generous, I will never forgive Nangong Lie for hurting me."
Jiang Qingya and Jin Yuan were lying on the chairs. When they heard what Tan Mo said, they laughed.
He Kang asked flatteringly, "Nangong Lie? What harm did he cause you?"
"unimportant."
He Kang cleared his throat to hide his embarrassment. While tactfully offering Tan Mo some fruit, he pondered how to bring the conversation back to Tan Mo and her group's purpose for the past few days.
Although no one explicitly told the trainees what the sponsors were doing here, rumors circulated that they were most likely collaborating with Jinze to select trainees.
"I'm a very forgiving person. I don't tend to remember things that hurt me." He Kang asked with his brows lowered. "Mr. Tan, what do you think?"
"I think," Tan Mo slapped away his hand that was trying to touch her, "you are a vixen."
"Okay, go out. Remember to close the door and don't disturb us."
Even though his secret thoughts were exposed, He Kang remained calm and walked out without any embarrassment. He seemed to have never known what shame was. With his back to Tan Mo, he danced with her through the glass.
Like a peacock spreading its tail, he is not ashamed but proud to show off his handsomeness.
Tan Mo: ...in my eyes, Hu Jiayu left and He Kang came. What a sin she has committed.
Jiang Qingya couldn't help but complain: "This kid, at such a young age, wants to take the crooked path. Look at his thick skin, I don't know how many times he has done this kind of thing."
"What do you think of him? I think he's the next Hu Jiayu, a muddled version."
"I've been wanting to complain to you guys for a long time." Jin Yuan pricked up, "Don't listen to his nonsense about his parents not supporting him in pursuing his dreams."
"His family has a little money, and his parents were paving the way for him and building his connections when he was a teenager. It's just that his parents aren't in the entertainment industry, so it was a bit difficult for them to manage things."
Jin Yuan rolled his eyes. "If it's a family problem, then if you sell everything you have and don't even bother to pay back the money you owe others, becoming a dishonest person, that's also called a family problem. I have nothing to say."
"How do you know?" Tan Mo asked.
"Don't underestimate the abilities of a seasoned paparazzi. With the internet so advanced these days, anything you do will leave a trace."
Jin Yuan was full of confidence, "What I'm best at is digging out and integrating gossip."
Jiang Qingya continued on the previous topic, "How disgusting. His parents are not good people either. How much did those Off-White Nikes he's wearing fetch? A trainee making less than 2,000 yuan a month wouldn't be able to afford that even if he skipped food and drink for a year without his parents."
"He's so rich, but he doesn't even know how to pay back the money he owes."
"What an unlucky thing! I didn't expect there would be such a big melon." Tan Mo said while chewing grapes.
Then he took a look at the balance on the screen, which had reached 26,698,007.63 yuan.
This is also thanks to the emotional fluctuations of Lin Yu as the heroine some time ago, as well as the result of her hard work in eating melons in the past two days.
It seems that bringing Jin Yuan to Jince Entertainment was a great and successful decision, otherwise it would have been a waste of the paparazzi's abilities.
Some time ago, they gathered in the president's office. In addition to giving Lin Yu advice, they also listened to Jin Yuan talk about gossip in the entertainment industry. Some of the gossip even shocked Jiang Qingya, who was half an insider in the circle.
"Do you think there's something wrong with my eyes, or are these male idols really getting uglier and uglier?" Jin Yuan rubbed his sore eyes. "I remember there were a few pretty handsome male idols we met on the first day."
"How many ugly men do they have? This batch is really mismatched."
Jiang Qingya said approvingly, "It's not your illusion. He really is getting uglier and uglier. I think it was Assistant Lu who mentioned it to Yang Qiong, saying, 'Show us the ugly guy.'"
"Ah! Why did he do that?"
"Yes, why did your assistant do this?" Jiang Qingya turned to Tan Mo, who was looking at her balance with great satisfaction. "What was her motive?"
Tan Mo said innocently, "Ah! I don't know!"
Her stomach growled and she looked over. "What's wrong with Yang Qiong today? We came here at dinner time, but she hasn't prepared the meal yet?"
"This fruit is left over from yesterday, it's not fresh."
"Maybe he's afraid we'll eat him out of money." Jiang Qingya smiled and stood up to stretch. "You know what? The takeout near Jince Entertainment is better than the one near Longsheng Group. I'm worried I won't be able to eat there anymore."
"By the way, Tan Mo, when will you guys discuss the compensation? I can have Yang Qiong order all the takeout for me in advance."
"Just in these two days." Tan Mo didn't like to argue with others. She knew it would be difficult to ask Yang Qiong to pay 60 million at once, so she asked Lu Xingjian to keep pestering Yang Qiong.
But it has been almost a week, and Tan Mo is unwilling to extend the line too long.
Jiang Qingya continued, "The chairs they have are really uncomfortable to sit on. They're not as good as the mattress in Longsheng's office."
She asked, "Who on earth came up with the idea of putting a mattress in an office?"
Tan Mo: ...Who else could it be? It must be me, the oxen and horses who worked so hard before I traveled through the book.
At that time, she thought it would be nice to put a mattress in the office so she could lie down whenever she wanted.
"Stop chatting for now, go ask Yang Qiong when he plans to come feed us debt collector locusts."
*
As the boss of Jince Entertainment, after Hu Jiayu's incident, Yang Qiong searched on Baidu more than once: Can the boss resign?
What she has to face is no longer the tsunami-like online public opinion, but Longsheng's tough legal team.
Originally, Yang Qiong could have gotten away with it because of an ambiguous clause in the first contract. But Longsheng Group, having clearly suffered a loss the first time, sealed the loophole with cement when they signed the second contract with her, leaving Yang Qiong with no way to get away with it.
Sixty million, a full sixty million.
Jince Entertainment's annual profit is only this much.
Yang Qiong was really heartbroken this time. She had to give back all the money she had earned in the past two years.
While she, the boss, was still struggling to deal with the situation, Hu Jiayu, as an employee, had actually been lying down at home after the accident, sleeping as if nothing had happened, and didn't get up until noon.
Then I put on a facial mask, lay on the bed, ate watermelon and turned on the air conditioner.
When she was a top idol, she still had to get up early for work and manage her image. But now, she can’t have such a comfortable life.
The question is, I believe Sister Yang will be able to help me settle it, so I want to take advantage of this time to enjoy life with my girlfriend, and when things cool down, I will go back to work and continue to be a top star.
Yang Qiong was so angry that she felt like she was bleeding internally, and she wanted to strangle Hu Jiayu to death.
The second person he wanted to strangle was Lu Xingjian, the cold-faced and ruthless man in a suit and tie who was sitting opposite the negotiating table.
Yang Qiong brushed her hair back, took a deep breath, and said, "The person Hu Jiayu is dating is Miss Nangong from Longsheng Group. This is an indisputable fact. Do you, Longsheng, have to be so aggressive?"
"Since my boyfriend is Miss Nangong, and under such circumstances, you still induce me to sign an unequal treaty, then can I regard this as a trap set by you? Or should we all make concessions? I will let Hu Jiayu endorse Longsheng for free?" Yang Qiong said what was in her heart.
Lu Xingjian flipped through the files and looked up at the words: "Before answering your question, I would like to correct a few things Mr. Yang said."
"Speaking."
"First, the person Hu Jiayu is dating is not Miss Nangong from Longsheng Group, but just an ordinary employee."
"What about last time?" Yang Qiong was a little confused, but soon it dawned on her, "Could it be that toilet lady?"
Lu Xing simply lowered his chin, his tone more assertive. "You mistakenly thought that ordinary employee was Miss Nangong. Secondly, before drafting the contract, we were unaware that Hu Jiayu had a secret girlfriend for many years, and that girlfriend was an employee of our company."
"Third, the endorsement fee offered in our second contract is far higher than Hu Jiayu's market price, and we didn't force you, Mr. Yang, to sign it."
Lu Xingjian raised his eyebrows as he spoke. "It can be said that you, Mr. Yang, couldn't resist the temptation of money. So, those few words you just said accusing our company were very irresponsible."
Yang Qiong's heart slowly sank to the bottom.
Lu Xingjian: "So, to sum up..."
"Stop." Yang Qiong interrupted him. "You have such a ruthless mouth. Besides saying no, what else can you say? Say something new."
Lu Xingjian really thought about it for a while, then said thoughtfully, "Boss Tan said not even a cent can be lost."
Yang Qiong: ...
*
In the glass room, a trio.
Tan Mo, who was being nagged by crickets, sneezed and muttered softly, "Is someone saying something bad about me?"
Jiang Qingya stirred the last bit of rice in the lunch box and said thoughtfully, "Do you think Yang Qiong doesn't like us? Not only was the food delivered half an hour late today, but the delivery person also had a very sour face. We didn't offend them in any way."
"You sound a bit like a green tea fan." Jin Yuan took the last piece of chicken wing from Jiang Qingya's bowl. "Tan Mo came here to ask for money, and it's not a small amount, a full 60 million."
"How can this not be considered an offense?"
Jiang Qingya curled her lips.
Tan Mo ignored the two of them. She had realized that Jiang Qingya and Jin Yuan together were two mentally ill people, and she didn't really understand the world of mental patients.
After finishing her meal, she leaned back in her chair and took out her cell phone out of habit.
Among the four people in the group, Xu Xiaonian asked them where they were playing and what they were doing.
Tan Mo sent her a photo she had taken before eating: "Just finished eating."
Xu Xiaonian: "Your meal looks delicious."
Tan Mo: Was it delicious? It was okay, just a regular work lunch. The food was better on the first day. Yang Qiong is getting stingy.
Xu Xiaonian: "I was just eating, but it's not as good as yours."
Xu Xiaonian: "picture.jpg"
Tan Mo clicked on it and the picture enlarged. A whole box of high-end Japanese sushi dazzled her eyes.
Tan Mo: ...Redefining "But Not as Delicious as Yours"
Xu Xiaonian: "If Lie hadn't tied me to him, I would have loved to play with you guys too."
Lin Yu: "What a coincidence, I'm eating too."
Tan Mo: Wow, it’s been a long time since I saw Lin Yu online.
Lin Yu: [Let me show you what I eat.]
Lin Yu: [picture.jpg]
Tan Mo clicked it and was immediately petrified.
She didn't see what the dish was, but the unkempt Hu Jiayu in the middle, eating with his mouth wide open and a hideous look on his face, was so ugly that it caught her eyes.
Tan Mo: ...
Tan Mo was speechless and immediately exited the chat interface. She said to the two people behind her, "Tell Lin Yu that if you post photos like this again, you will be charged with intentional injury and kicked out of the group.
"Is it that serious?" Jin Yuan took out his phone and glanced at Tan Mo as she walked out. "Where are you going?"
"To the bathroom."
"You didn't even call me when you went to the bathroom." Jin Yuan lowered his head again to look at the messages in the group.
Two seconds later, Jin Yuan poked his eyes out: "What a vicious woman."
After using the toilet, Tan Mo came out of the bathroom.
The building of Jince Entertainment Company faces the sun on one side, and there are several tall banyan trees planted outside the building. Standing on the corridor on the third floor, it seems as if you can catch the leaves with your hands.
The sun was shining brightly outside the window, and it felt hot on my body. Maybe it was because I had stayed in the air-conditioned room for too long, and the back of my hands exposed to the sun were actually smoking.
There was no one on the corridor. Tan Mo stood there, observing the phenomenon silently.
"Mom, I'm eating. I eat meat, and the company also bought me my favorite chicken wings, cola chicken wings. You haven't tried them, right?"
The clear and ethereal sound naturally reached Tan Mo's ears.
The voice was so distinctive that the moment she heard it, Tan Mo knew the person speaking was Huang Meimei.
The other party seemed to be calling his family.
Tan Mo didn't want to disturb her and wanted to leave, but her toes unconsciously walked towards the source of the sound.
It didn't stop until it reached the stairs to the second and third floors.
Looking at Huang Meimei's broad back, Tan Mo felt a strange feeling in her heart. She seemed to care about Huang Meimei more than she thought.
Huang Meimei gave her a very familiar feeling.
"Do you want to try it? Then I'll go home this weekend and make you cola chicken wings. It's very simple."
"It's free, don't worry." Huang Meimei sat on the stairs with her back to Tan Mo, and her lunch was on her legs together.
"How's the new medicine I bought you?"
"It's good as long as the side effects are minimal."
"Oh, what's the big deal? Don't worry, I told you I work for a big company and earn 10,000 yuan a month. I can afford it."
"Mom, if you say that again, I'll be unhappy." Tan Mo heard Huang Meimei pretending to be angry, but she didn't know what she said. Her voice turned into the sweet sound of a mountain stream again.
"Don't worry, I have money." Huang Meimei suddenly said anxiously, "I'm not going to say anything more, Mom. My colleagues have snatched up all the cola chicken wings. I'll call you later. Bye."
After hanging up the phone, Huang Meimei sighed.
The weather was getting warmer, and the slightly plump Huang Meimei was sweating a lot on the tip of her nose.
She stared at the lunch box with only white rice for a long time, thinking to herself, "Brother Jiayu won't be able to make money if he doesn't go to work."
"It would be great if I were a big star. I would have tons of money. Mom's illness wouldn't be a problem. I could buy her a big house and beautiful clothes while she's still alive. There would also be tons of people who like me."
Suddenly she burst into laughter, "It's so fun to dream."
Then she opened the jar of pickles that Aunt Wu had given her, and scooped out a large lump of pickles with clean chopsticks and spread it on the rice.
She closed her eyes, put her nose to the lunch box, and took a deep breath. "What delicious cola chicken wings, they are all mine."
"Ah, ah, good cha, good cha."
"Chubby Meimei wants to eat it all~"
As she ate, she sang the Coke Chicken Wings Song.
"Go to a singing competition, maybe you can continue to dream."
Suddenly, a voice other than my own echoed in the empty staircase.
Huang Meimei:Σ(°△°|||)︴
What should I do if someone finds out that I’m having a mad fit?
*
In the conference room filled with thick smoke, Longsheng Group and Jince Entertainment were fighting fiercely.
Someone suddenly opened the door and came in. Because the lily pad in the conference room was a little rusty, it squeaked, causing both parties to look over here.
When Yang Qiong saw the person coming, she couldn't help but feel angry, "Huang Meimei, what are you doing here at such an important occasion?"
Huang Meimei nervously waved her hands, "I didn't mean to come here..."
It was embarrassing to think about what happened in the stairwell. Fortunately, the other party did not laugh at her, but just asked her to bring it to the meeting room.
She anxiously took a step to the side, revealing Tan Mo behind her.
Lu Xingjian quickly stood up and went over to greet him, "Mr. Tan."
Yang Qiong widened her eyes in surprise.
Tan Mo put her arm around Huang Meimei's shoulders and walked forward. "She is my woman. Who dares to yell at her?"
Huang Meimei: ...
Yang Qiong was so shocked that she couldn't speak, and pointed at Tan Mo and Huang Meimei.
Lu Xingjian's expression instantly turned into a dead fish eye: "Mr. Tan, have you had enough fun?"
"Sorry, sorry, just kidding."
Tan Mo continued to push Huang Meimei forward, "I mean for you to pay attention to this rising star of the future."
"Mr. Tan, please stop talking nonsense." Huang Meimei blushed and nodded in agreement as usual.
Tan Mo didn't rush to refute. She sat on Lu Xingjian's stool, looked at Yang Qiong and said, "We've been negotiating for so many days, but there's still no result. I'm a little fed up."
Yang Qiong was at a loss.
She had never met this Ms. Tan before, and judging from her behavior, she seemed to be someone who did not play by the rules.
Yang Qiong didn't know what she meant by "I'm a little annoyed".
"Mr. Tan, this...we..."
Tan Mo stretched out her hand to interrupt her, "Don't you just think that 60 million in compensation is too much?"
"Then I'm giving you a choice now. As long as you agree to a few conditions, you don't have to pay so much."
"Tell me first." Yang Qiong didn't want to believe her stingy character.
Tan Mo: "First of all, I demand that Hu Jiayu retire from the entertainment industry and never be an idol again."
Yang Qiong almost vomited blood again. She knew that the conditions proposed by Mr. Tan were equivalent to shit wrapped in chocolate. No matter how expensive the outer layer of chocolate was, it was still shit in essence.
According to feedback from online fans, as long as Hu Jiayu can avoid this wave of house collapse and wait for netizens to forget about it, he will be able to continue making money when he comes out.
By then, the black can be washed into white.
Although Yang Qiong was very disgusted with Hu Jiayu for not taking this official announcement seriously and letting her clean up the mess, from a certain perspective, Hu Jiayu is still a gold nugget.
Seeing Yang Qiong's hesitant look, Tan Mo continued, "Secondly, I want Huang Meimei to participate in a singing competition, and you have to make sure she becomes famous."
Huang Meimei was stunned. She still clearly remembered the man in front of her, crouching on the stair railing like a boneless cat, looking at her like an expressionless cat and saying, "I can make your dream come true."
Now, this dream is within reach.
Yang Qiong's eyes switched back and forth between Tan Mo and Huang Meimei, very puzzled, "This..."
"As long as you agree to the above two points and do them, I am willing to reduce the 60 million yuan compensation to 40 million yuan."
Yang Qiong was a little tempted, but as long as Hu Jiayu returned, his subsequent earning power would be more than 40 million...
"I can allow Hu Jiayu to compensate the entire 40 million. Do you agree or not? If not, forget it." Tan Mo stood up gracefully and turned to leave.
Yang Qiong:!!!
She quickly ran over and grabbed Tan Mo: "Promise, promise."
If Hu Jiayu is asked to pay compensation, that would be another matter.
*
"I'm so tired. Why is it so tiring even being a boss?" Tan Mo started to mess things up right after getting into the Rolls-Royce.
When Lu Xingjian got in the car, he saw Tan Mo sitting there like a liquefied cat.
He was clearly acting as domineering as a social cat at the negotiation table just now.
"Mr. Tan, if we just give it another two days, Yang Qiong will agree to compensation. Even if she doesn't agree, we're sure to win the lawsuit. Why are you lowering the price by 20 million?"
Lu Xingjian felt indescribably irritated.
He always has his own plans and goals when doing things. If he is interrupted in the middle of the process or fails to achieve the expected results, it would be like a pimple suddenly appearing on smooth skin, and Lu Xingjian would feel very uncomfortable.
"Because the chairs at Jince Entertainment are too uncomfortable to sit on, my waist hurts. I want to finish this quickly and go back to Longsheng to lie down early." Tan Mo rubbed her waist and hummed.
Lu Xingjian: Is your waist uncomfortable because you’ve been sitting for a long time?
Lu Xingjian said tactfully, "Maybe you feel uncomfortable because you're looking at male trainees?"
Tan Mo: ???
"Besides, you've always valued money. Why did you accept a 20 million yuan price reduction? And you never told me about Huang Meimei."
Tan Mo: ...Why else could it be? The 60 million went into the public account, and she couldn't get it, so what difference did it make if it was a little more or a little less? When Yang Qiong said she was willing, the mechanical sound of the system rewarding 10 million yuan was heard, and she felt so happy.
As for Huang Meimei...
Tan Mo said, "Don't you think Meimei is cute?"
The more Lu Xingjian thought about it, the sadder he became. He had only been away from Tan Mo for a few days, and his boss actually had a secret that he didn't know about, and even said that others were cute.
Has his status in her heart declined again?
Lu Xingjian turned his head slightly and glanced at Tan Mo, only to see that Tan Mo seemed to have seen something funny on her phone and was covering her mouth with her hand while laughing.
He looked furtive and excited, as if he had seen something shameful and had a strong sense of stealing.
He didn't notice his lost assistant at all.
Lu Xingjian asked politely, "What are you looking at? Can you show it to me?"
"You also have the news in the group."
Tan Mo said it subconsciously, but regretted it right after she said it. Seeing Lu Xingjian just open his phone, she panicked and hurriedly leaned over to grab it.
"You are not allowed to look."
"Why can't I watch?"
"You just can't look at it." Tan Mo said domineeringly.
"Is it about me?"
"no."
Judging from the tone of her quick denial, it was most likely about him.
Lu Xingjian became even more curious.
But he could do nothing now, because Tan Mo was already lying on him, and his cell phone and his hand were firmly held by Tan Mo.
The unique softness of the female body made Lu Xingjian tense all over.
The tips of Lu Xingjian's ears flushed red, but he still said calmly, "Mr. Tan, you should get up first. This is not safe."
"Oh." Tan Mo didn't notice. She held his hand and returned to her seat.
"Let go of my hand and I promise not to look."
Tan Mo: "I don't believe you."
She leaned in to look at his hands. Each fingernail was long and slender, and his nails were trimmed short and clean, but the nail beds were long and the shape of the nails was beautiful.
Tan Mo is a hand control, staring intently and drooling: "Assistant Lu, your hands are so beautiful."
Lu Xingjian: ...
In the blues hour before nightfall, the air was moist and the lights were dim. Lu Xingjian went to buy groceries as Tan Mo requested.
She said she wanted to eat cola chicken wings,
As I walked down the stairs, a message came on my phone.
[Master, what's the latest news about the Nangong family's true daughter?]
Lu Xingjian's beautiful eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and a hint of gloom flashed in his amber eyes.
He looked at it for a long time, and finally typed, "She said my fingers are beautiful."
