Yu Ting, currently sitting in his chair with a somber expression, caught the attention of Lu Nanchen who was beside him busy with stock market matters, and inadvertently asked, "What happened?"
"Nothing much, something happened in the company today." Yu Ting answered Lu Nanchen while moving the phone away from his ear.
Putting the phone back to his ear, Tang Siyi on the other end was still silent, stuttering and seemingly hesitating.
After all, what the assistant director had mentioned made sense to her after pondering over it for several days...
The company might indeed end up like what the assistant director depicted... And if the assistant director were to stir up trouble and sweet talk within the company...
She would be completely finished...
The contract she just signed with the company still has several years before it expires.
Yu Ting waited for a few minutes and, seeing Tang Siyi hadn’t provided any contact information and hearing her few words of erratic speech, he grew a little impatient and took the initiative to reassure her. "There’s nothing to worry about."
"I’m not about to covet this little amount of money."
The woman on the other end of the phone heard this, took a few deep breaths, fell silent again for two minutes, then gave Yu Ting a string of numbers and added, "I’m willing to work round the clock for the company for the next few years. Please boss, don’t accept his proposition..."
"Understood." Yu Ting assured her, and then dialed a number to speak with the so-called assistant director.
The call was answered quickly. The assistant director, watching Tang Siyi’s increasing public exposure with an ecstatic grin, was just waiting for her to concede and show signs of weakness.
He had already planned how to toy with her.
Seeing the first three numbers that matched Tang Siyi’s phone number, he swiftly accepted the call without any hesitation, eagerly uttering the first words.
"Finally made up your mind? Your call is later than I imagined, but it’s fine. Spend a few nights with me, and I’ll settle this matter immediately."
"If you perform well... I can even offer you the lead role in another drama."
The assistant director spoke with increasing malice, chuckling gleefully.
Tang Siyi was truly beautiful, and seemingly innocent. The thought excited him immensely.
"Zheng Lu? It’s me, Yu Ting." After listening to his lewd imagination, Yu Ting said coldly.
So this was how he spoke to that young girl?
There was a pause on the other end of the phone, then Zheng Lu changed his tone: "Turns out it’s CEO Yu, I thought it was someone else."
"Thought it was who? Tang Siyi?"
Yu Ting directly exposed him; the line was quiet for a while.
Then Zheng Lu said, "CEO Yu, we’ve been in this industry for quite some time. VG Entertainment has been flourishing lately, and I am sure CEO Yu is a sensible person. Tang Siyi is just a newcomer who won’t bring any significant value to the company in the short term. However, if you accept my proposition, things will be different."
"So, CEO Yu, how about considering my proposal? I promise, once you agree, I’ll make sure she becomes the leading lady in a drama. This leading role is much better than playing a supporting role in three or four dramas. At that point, I’m positive the popularity of VG Entertainment will increase significantly, thus increasing revenue."
As expected, just as Tang Siyi had anticipated, Zheng Lu began to pitch his proposal to Yu Ting, making a play of peace and explaining all the potential gains.
"Even though I know that CEO Yu is in no need of money, a fledgling company can really use the reputation. Without fame, how are we supposed to attract production teams, brand representatives, and so on...?"
