Chapter 406: Damn Tianyuan Group, they are so stubborn!
The call was connected quickly.
Lin Xifei immediately spoke up: "Ling Xiao, I didn't see Zhong Yi today. The hotel waiter was delivering the food upstairs, and I thought it was a bit strange, so I called to let you know."
Zhong Lingxiao said calmly, "I see. He didn't find out about you, did he?"
"Probably not. I followed the method you taught me and was very careful and cautious."
"That's good."
Zhong Lingxiao arranged for Lin Xifei to keep an eye on Zhong Yi for his own plans.
Lin Xifei did have a schedule in Haicheng, and she was just an insignificant little person, so Zhong Yi would not take her seriously.
He never thought that this woman would be so bold as to monitor him.
Lin Xifei asked tentatively, "What else can I do to help you? Do you really want to get rid of him? But what if the old man of the Zhong family finds out?"
Zhong Lingxiao's voice was gentle, but he didn't want to say too much to Lin Xifei.
"Baby, your mission is complete. I remember you still have to record a program in Haicheng. Please finish early and come back to the capital to accompany me. I miss you."
"All right."
Lin Xifei said with a hint of worry in her tone, "Be careful what you do."
If something happened to Zhong Lingxiao, she would lose her backing and would not be able to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry.
"Um."
Zhong Lingxiao quickly hung up the phone.
Lin Xifei frowned, feeling distressed when she thought about the variety show recorded by Haicheng TV Station.
She called her assistant and said, "Go find out when that variety show can start recording. I can't wait to go back to the capital."
The assistant stood in front of her, hesitant to speak.
Lin Xifei said impatiently, "What's wrong? Just say it if you have something to say."
"Sister Lin, the assistant director of Haicheng TV Station called just now."
"Are you asking us to go to the recording? Then let's go. I didn't expect the invitation to be so enthusiastic at the beginning, and it dragged on for three days. If it weren't for the popularity of his show, I would never have come."
The assistant mustered up the courage to say, "Sister Lin, the TV station said... said..."
"say what?"
Lin Xifei looked at her impatiently, knowing that she would have to replace this unsuitable assistant sooner or later.
Each of them is a hassle, and their words are like squeezing toothpaste.
"They said you weren't a safe artist, and considering the show's future developments, they wanted to replace you. The assistant director asked you not to go to the recording so they could select a newcomer to take your place. Also... we agreed to finalize the contract in Haicheng, so they didn't have to pay liquidated damages."
The assistant mumbled a lot.
An unsafe artist has stains that may lead to scandal.
This is a subtle expression of disdain for Lin Xifei being someone's mistress. If it were exposed, the losses would be severe.
But who would expose Young Master Zhong's woman when they have nothing better to do? So Lin Xifei didn't understand. This reason was clearly an excuse.
And the penalty for breach of contract!
Lin Xifei had originally wanted to wait for a better deal, intending to ask Qiao to raise the signing bonus a bit, but she hadn't expected it to drag on until now. Now the other party had simply kicked her out without even paying a penny in liquidated damages!
It's really like shooting oneself in the foot.
"I'm not safe? Say that again?"
Lin Xifei couldn't believe her ears. She had been in the industry for so many years, with the Zhong family's eldest son protecting her. When had she ever been so spurned by someone that they had to let a newcomer replace her?
It's a great shame and humiliation.
"Are they out of their minds? Who made the decision to replace me?" She couldn't swallow this.
"It was the director's decision," the assistant said timidly. "Not only that, we've received calls from many Haicheng companies saying they want to replace you as their spokesperson. It seems like you've been...banned by Haicheng."
Bang!
Lin Xifei knocked over the coffee cup in front of her, and the brown coffee liquid dripped all over the floor, attracting a lot of people's attention.
Banned!
She waited patiently in the hotel for three days, only to be banned!
"Call the station director right now and find out what's going on. Who wants to ban me? I..." A figure flashed through Lin Xifei's mind.
The man who appeared on the TV station that night was Huo Xingzhou!
She came to Haicheng because she had a conflict with his wife and was humiliated. It was said that the young couple had a very good relationship, and there were not many people in Haicheng who could block her.
The most likely person was Huo Xingzhou!
How outrageous!
"Drive now and go to Tianyuan Group with me! Wait, let's buy some expensive supplements on the way."
Lin Xifei's cheeks flushed red with anger.
There are many companies in Haicheng, and she endorses several products.
If all her contracts were not renewed at once, her income would be drastically reduced. She had been looking forward to this variety show for a long time and it couldn't fail.
The only way is to go talk to Mr. Huo and humble himself to save everything.
She can be arrogant and domineering in the entertainment industry, but facing such a top powerful family, she is just a small ant and can be strangled to death at any time.
Besides, Haicheng is Huo Xingzhou's territory, and a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake.
When you need to bend down, you have to bend down.
But when she gains power and Qiao Xi loses power, she will get it back with interest!
"Okay, Sister Lin. I'll go get the car right away."
Half an hour later.
Lin Xifei and her assistant arrived at Tianyuan Group, but were stopped by the front desk.
She took off her mask and sunglasses and said to the front desk, "I'm Lin Xifei, and I do have something to talk to your CEO Huo about. So, please give me a call and ask. I can sign an autograph and take a photo with you."
"I'm sorry, Miss Lin. I'm not a fan." The receptionist smiled gently. "You can't see our CEO Huo without an appointment. This is our company's rule. CEO Huo usually has a very busy schedule."
Lin Xifei suppressed her anger and said, "Is Mr. Huo in the company?"
"I'm sorry, but we can't disclose Mr. Huo's schedule casually. Please understand."
Damn Tianyuan Group.
Even the front desk clerk refused to listen!
Whenever she went to other companies, she was always the center of attention.
Lin Xifei took a deep breath and glanced at the time. It was already evening, close to five o'clock.
Wait a little longer.
They should be off work soon, maybe we can meet them.
Lin Xifei lowered her posture and sat on a lounge chair in the lobby. Everyone could see this famous star, but not a single employee from Tianyuan Group came forward to ask for her autograph.
Lin Xifei was treated coldly like never before, and she was even more certain that the ban was caused by Huo Xingzhou!
"Sister Lin, look at the elevator entrance...isn't that Mr. Huo and Dr. Qiao?" the assistant reminded in a low voice.
Lin Xifei took a look and immediately stood up to greet him.
"Mr. Huo, Mrs. Huo."
Qiao Xi stopped beside Huo Xingzhou. She had been going to the hospital at irregular times recently.
She came to the group today after helping Shen Xuanzhi's mother with acupuncture. She and Huo Xingzhou agreed to go back early to pack up and set off for the countryside tomorrow morning.
But I didn't expect to see Lin Xifei here.
Surprise flashed in her eyes.
