Chapter 406: Damn Tianyuan Group, they won’t tolerate any harm!
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 you to tell you first."
Zhong Lingxiao said calmly, "I know. Did he not find out about you?"
"Probably not. I followed the method you taught me and was very careful and cautious."
"That's good."
Zhong Lingxiao had his own plans for arranging Lin Xifei to keep an eye on Zhong Yi.
Lin Xifei did have a trip to Haicheng, and she was just an insignificant person, so Zhong Yi didn't take her seriously.
He never imagined that this woman was bold enough to spy on him.
Lin Xifei said tentatively: "What else can I do to help you? Do you really want to get rid of him? But what if the old lady of the Zhong family finds out?"
Zhong Lingxiao's voice was very gentle, but he didn't want to say too much to Lin Xifei.
"Baby, your mission has been completed. 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 some worry in her tone, "Be careful."
If anything happened to Zhong Lingxiao, she would lose her backing and would not be able to gain a firm foothold in the entertainment industry.
"Um."
Zhong Lingxiao quickly hung up the phone.
Lin Xifei frowned, feeling very worried when she thought about the variety show recorded by Haicheng TV Station.
She called her assistant and said, "Go find out when the 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 called just now."
"You want us to go for the recording? Then let's go. I didn't expect that the invitation was 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 summoned up her courage and said, "Sister Lin, the TV station said...said..."
"What?"
Lin Xifei looked at her impatiently, and she was going to replace this incompetent assistant sooner or later.
Each of them is a hassle and their words sound like they are squeezing toothpaste.
"They said you were not a safe artist, and they wanted to replace you considering the show's future development. The assistant director asked you not to go to the recording, and they were going to pick a newcomer to replace you. Also... we agreed to finalize the contract in Haicheng, so they didn't have to pay a penalty."
The assistant stammered and said a lot.
An unsafe artist will explode if there is something wrong with him.
This is a subtle expression of disapproval for Lin Xifei being someone's mistress. If it were to be exposed, the losses would be disastrous.
But who would expose Mr. Zhong's woman when they have nothing to do? So Lin Xifei didn't understand. This reason was clearly an excuse.
And then there’s the penalty!
At first, Lin Xifei wanted to wait for a good price and was ready to ask Qiao to raise the signing fee a little bit, but she didn't expect that it has been delayed until now and it has not been finalized. Now the other party directly kicked her out and didn't even have to pay a penny of breach of contract fee!
He is really shooting himself 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, and had the protection of the eldest son of the Zhong family. When had she ever been so scorned by someone that she had to let a newcomer take her place?
It is a great disgrace.
"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 also received many calls from Haicheng companies, saying that they want to replace you as the spokesperson. It seems that you have 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.
Blocked!
She waited patiently in the hotel for three days, only to be banned!
"Call the 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 TV that night was Huo Xingzhou!
She came to Haicheng because she had a conflict with his wife and was humiliated. It is said that the relationship between the young couple is very good, and there are not many people in Haicheng who can kill her.
The most likely possibility is that Huo Xingzhou did it!
How can this be possible!
"Drive now and follow me to Tianyuan Group! Wait, let's buy some luxury supplements on the way."
Lin Xifei's cheeks turned red with anger.
There are many companies in Haicheng, and she endorses quite a few products.
If all the contracts are not renewed at once, her income will be greatly reduced. She has been looking forward to this variety show for a long time and it cannot be ruined.
The only way is to go and have a nice talk with Mr. Huo and humble himself to save everything.
She may 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.
What's more, Haicheng is Huo Xingzhou's territory, and a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake.
When you need to bend, you have to bend.
But when she gains power and Qiao Xi loses power, she will get her money back with interest!
"Okay, Sister Lin. I'll drive the car out right away."
Half an hour later.
Lin Xifei and her assistant arrived at Tianyuan Group, but the front desk blocked them from entering.
She took off her mask and sunglasses and said to the front desk, "I'm Lin Xifei, and I have something to talk to your CEO Huo about. So, please give me a call and ask, and I can take a photo with you and get your autograph."
"I'm sorry, Ms. Lin. I'm not a fan of celebrities." The front desk lady smiled softly, "You can't meet 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, our CEO Huo's schedule cannot be disclosed casually. Please understand."
Damn Tianyuan Group.
Even the front desk staff is not good enough!
Whenever she goes to other companies, she is always the center of attention.
Lin Xifei took a deep breath and looked at the time. It was already evening, almost 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. People were coming and going, and everyone could see this big star, but no staff from the Tianyuan Group came forward to ask for an autograph.
Lin Xifei was treated coldly as never before, and she was even more certain that Huo Xingzhou was the one who caused her to be banned!
"Sister Lin, look at the elevator entrance...is 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.
