"What can we do? If He Xiu's acting skills aren't up to par, my involvement in the casting process won't help. He'll still be criticized once the drama airs. But if He Xiu passes the director's test, it means he's suitable for the role, and then no one can steal his resources!"
Shangguan Wu spoke casually, but Song Hongying didn't question her words at all.
After hanging up the phone, she pressed her temples, opened WeChat, and, having given up hope, was surprised to find that Gu Yunzhen had replied.
Just two words.
【video】
Shangguan Wu blinked. Did this mean she should send him a video?
She smiled and was about to press the video call button when she stopped.
She was in the car, and even if Gu Yunzhen answered the video call, she couldn't flirt with him. Besides, the time was too short. She should wait until she got back to the hotel before video chatting with him.
Shangguan Wu put away her phone, a smile playing on her lips, and with a joyful heart, turned her head to admire the night view of the capital city.
Du Wei turned around and advised, "Miss, it's so late, why don't you go to the hotel first?"
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wu shook his head: "You haven't received any news for so long, something must have happened over there. Let's go and take a look."
Du Wei could only say, "Then Miss, please rest for a while. I'll call you when we reach our destination."
After a slight pause, Shangguan Wu looked away and said, "Okay."
She leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes, and pretended to doze off.
Meanwhile, the man in Gu Garden in Changteng City checked his phone every twenty minutes after confirming that Shangguan Wu's plane had arrived in the capital.
But there was never any news from her.
Didn't she see it?
The man's handsome, sword-like eyebrows furrowed deeply.
Imperial City.
The car stopped, and Du Wei reminded her, "Miss, we've arrived at Nanhu Residential Area."
Shangguan Wu suddenly opened her eyes.
After a couple of minutes, she saw Meng Wu, the bodyguard guarding the entrance to the residential area, and let him get into the car.
What's going on inside?
“Mr. Jiang has been in the neighborhood the whole time,” Meng Wu replied. “I’m sorry, Miss, I couldn’t stop Quan Tianrui from going in.”
Liu Qing exclaimed, "Damn it! Why didn't you make a phone call?"
"...My phone was stolen by a girl."
Meng Wu lowered his head in shame.
Liu Qing and Du Wei: "..."
Shangguan Wu's lips twitched, he rubbed his forehead, and asked again, "How long has he been here?"
"It's been an hour."
"They haven't come out after an hour, they must not have reached an agreement, right?"
Shangguan Wu hoped his guess was correct.
However, as soon as they arrived at the building where the other party lived, number 18, they saw a middle-aged man and Quan Tianrui, who was in a wheelchair, walking out chatting and laughing.
Is this the end of the discussion? Or has it been resolved?
Shangguan Wu frowned slightly, thankfully she didn't wait until tomorrow to come over.
Before Quan Tianrui got into the car, she got out, leaned against the car door, and asked loudly, "Young Master Quan, your old lady has been hospitalized because of the Quan family's bankruptcy. Aren't you going home to see her?"
She deliberately emphasized the words "the Quan family went bankrupt".
When Quan Tianrui first saw Shangguan Wu, a hint of amazement flashed in his eyes, but his heart suddenly skipped a beat. After hearing her words, his face darkened.
The middle-aged man was also stunned, but upon hearing her words, he was shocked: "Has the Quan family gone bankrupt?"
He really didn't know!
Shangguan Wu smiled and said, "Yes, the Quan Group has been acquired. But I'm not here today to deliver news, but to give money to Boss Zhu."
The middle-aged man's surname was Zhu, and he was the owner of the property she had her eye on.
Boss Zhu asked in surprise, "Giving me money?"
Shangguan Wu smiled and nodded: "I am Shangguan Wu from the Shangguan family in Changteng City. I have my eye on Boss Zhu's unfinished apartment in the southern suburbs of the city. I can pay the full amount in one go."
"Shangguan Wu!"
When Quan Tianrui heard that she was there to compete with him for the property, he turned green with anger and said in a deep voice, "I've already conceded to you, don't push your luck!"
A cold glint flashed in Shangguan Wu's eyes as she retorted sarcastically, "Wasn't it you who struck first, got crippled, and then had no choice but to back down?"
"..."
Quan Tianrui's face looked even uglier!
He sat in his wheelchair, his hands clenched into fists.
Quan Tianrui quickly calmed down, turned to look at Boss Zhu, and said, "Boss Zhu, no matter what has happened to my Quan family, my deal with you will absolutely not go wrong!"
A glint of shrewdness flashed in Boss Zhu's eyes.
To be honest, he was tempted by Shangguan Wu's offer of a full payment!
He urgently needed the money. If he sold it to Quan Tianrui, Quan Tianrui would pay a quarter of the price upfront, and then he would have to find other sources to raise the money, which would not only waste time but also risk not being able to raise it at all.
Quan Tianrui could tell what Boss Zhu was thinking just by looking at his expression!
Unfortunately, the Quan family was acquired, and he only had 80 million in funds. Otherwise, how could Shangguan Wu have the chance to humiliate him!
Quan Tianrui stared at Shangguan Wu with a sinister gaze and said coldly, "Shangguan Wu, I'll remember this debt. I'll definitely repay you double in the future!"
After saying that, he got into the car with his cane. The bodyguard put the wheelchair in the trunk, and the car drove away.
Shangguan Wu raised an eyebrow. Since he said so, she wouldn't hold back when it came to suppressing him!
She turned her gaze away and looked at Boss Zhu, saying, "Boss Zhu, I'd like to invite you to lunch at Wangjiang Pavilion tomorrow morning. Would you do me the honor?"
Mr. Zhu was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter.
Does he still have a choice?
Fifteen minutes ago, Quan Tianrui was still talking confidently in front of him, getting him to agree to installment payments. But this woman in front of him, who looks so young, managed to talk Quan Tianrui away with just a few words and make him abandon the deal. She's really not simple!
Mr. Zhu said with a smile, "Of course, it's my honor to have dinner with such a beautiful woman."
"See you tomorrow, Mr. Zhu."
Shangguan Wu nodded to him, then turned and got into the car and left.
Once in the car, Du Wei asked, puzzled, "Miss, why don't you talk to Boss Zhu now? What if Quan Tianrui comes looking for you again tomorrow?"
Shangguan Wu took out her phone, glanced up at him, and said, "Even if Quan Tianrui comes looking for me, Boss Zhu won't agree."
Quan Tianrui stormed off in anger, which means he has given up. Boss Zhu is in dire need of money and won't waste any more time on him.
But we have to be wary of what Quan Tianrui said.
If he were to sell the information to someone else and allow them to compete with her, it would indeed be a problem.
Shangguan Wu looked at Meng Wu and instructed, "Liu Qing, you've worked hard all night. Get out of the car and stay here. Make sure Boss Zhu goes directly to Wangjiang Pavilion tomorrow."
Meng Wu: "..." He felt like the young lady was disliking him!
Liu Qing stepped on the brakes.
"Yes, Miss."
Liu Qing got out of the car, and Meng Wu got out of the car on his own and went around to the driver's seat to drive.
Half an hour later, Shangguan Wu arrived at the hotel where he had booked a room, a luxurious single suite, while Du Wei and Meng Wu stayed in a double deluxe room across the hall.
As soon as Shangguan Wu entered the room, he couldn't wait to send a video call to Gu Yunzhen.
