Chapter 62: Schemes from All Sides (First Update)...
"I'll handle Liao Zhijie's situation myself. I won't ruin his reputation for now; we'll deal with it after the concert."
With the concert at the end of the month drawing ever closer, Jiang Mingyue didn't want any more trouble. She just wanted to finish her work smoothly and do justice to the fans who bought tickets for her.
On the day the concert ended, she finished all her work and had no further business dealings with Star Shine Entertainment. If anything happened to Star Shine Entertainment, whether Liao Zhijie lived or died was none of her concern.
Jiang Mingyue always acted with discretion, and since he didn't need her help, Yan Qian didn't want to stay any longer.
It was getting late, so he got up to say goodbye. "Okay, you should get some rest. Contact me anytime if you need anything."
Jiang Mingyue escorted Yan Qian to the door.
Yan Qian turned to look at her, "How about we move to the Jinghua Hotel? You don't need to pay, it'll be on my tab."
Jiang Mingyue raised an eyebrow. Yan Qian's formal invitation made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.
She refused again, saying, "We're not related, why would I take advantage of you?"
Yan Qian chuckled. Pushing him away now, when they were no longer related, was a completely different attitude when he asked Zhang Wangjiang to cover for him.
Alright, since she insisted, he didn't want to bring it up again, but he still emphasized it once more.
"Miss Jiang, I thought we were already friends."
Jiang Mingyue corrected his statement, "President Yan, our relationship is only temporary."
Ah, only for now.
As long as she's happy.
Yan Qian gestured for her to stay in the room, then opened the door and went out on his own.
The Presidential Suite on the top floor of the Grand Hyatt Hotel.
In the bedroom, Liao Zhijie rolled off Liu Mo'er, panting as he leaned against the headboard. After catching his breath, he reached out his right hand to grab the cigarettes on the bedside table.
Liu Mo'er rolled her eyes speechlessly. Useless old man, he couldn't last more than two minutes.
The next second, Liu Mo'er composed herself, turned over and leaned in, personally picking up a lighter to light Liao Zhijie's cigarette.
"Brother Liao, let me order for you."
Liao Zhijie smiled and pinched Liu Mo'er's little face. "So good."
Liu Mo'er pretended to be obedient and lay on Liao Zhijie's chest. "That's because Brother Liao is good to me. If it weren't for Brother Liao taking a liking to me back then, I wouldn't have the good life I have today."
Liu Mo'er worked as a waitress in a private club in her early years. She was spotted by Liao Zhijie and brought into the entertainment industry. He then arranged for her to join the Clover Girls Group.
No one knew about her relationship with Liao Zhijie, and they always kept their meetings secret. Liao Zhijie had many women, and countless women in the industry wanted to get close to him. The two of them would meet secretly about once a month.
Liao Zhijie was generous, giving her money every time they met, and he had no unusual hobbies, so Liu Mo'er was happy to maintain a relationship with him.
Liao Zhijie liked Liu Mo'er because she was obedient, perceptive, and not clingy, unlike other women who would demand a title, a house, or resources.
Liu Mo'er would be all smiles if she gave her 100,000 yuan.
"As long as you follow me obediently and don't cause any trouble, I guarantee you'll live a life of luxury."
"Yes, Mo'er is very good. Mo'er won't make things difficult for Brother Liao."
Calling Liao Zhijie "Brother Liao" this and "Brother Liao" that made him feel younger, as if he had returned to his most spirited and wealthy forty-year-old self.
Liao Zhijie laughed heartily, extinguished his cigarette, and hugged Liu Mo'er, kissing her repeatedly.
"If Jiang Mingyue were as obedient as you, she wouldn't have suffered like that tonight."
Zhang Wangjiang is a lecherous devil who uses all sorts of cruel methods to torture people, and many new employees in his own company have fallen victim to him.
Liao Zhijie spends a considerable amount of money every year to clean up the mess left behind by Zhang Wangjiang.
Unfortunately, the future of Xinghui Entertainment was in Zhang Wangjiang's hands, and Liao Zhijie had no way to deal with him, so he treated it all as a way of showing respect.
These days, if you don't have connections or a powerful background, don't even think about entering the entertainment industry. This industry is ruthless and cutthroat; everyone wants to be famous and climb the ladder, but how many people can actually reach the top?
You have to be careful not to get stepped on while climbing up.
Upon hearing Liao Zhijie mention Zhang Wangjiang, Liu Mo'er trembled, "Brother Liao, you must protect me, I don't want to be with President Zhang..."
Having spent a long time with Liao Zhijie, Liu Mo'er naturally heard of Zhang Wangjiang's reputation. Zhang Wangjiang was a devil, and extremely perverted. Several newcomers at Xinghui Entertainment had been tortured to death by him.
Liao Zhijie sensed that she was genuinely scared, so he patted her back reassuringly, "Don't worry, baby, you're my woman. I won't let Zhang Wangjiang touch you."
Liu Mo'er feigned excitement and threw herself into Liao Zhijie's arms, offering her fragrant lips.
"Brother Liao, Mo'er loves you the most..."
Who wouldn't love a beautiful woman throwing herself into their arms?
Liao Zhijie suppressed the commotion and gave her a quick kiss on the lips. "I'll take better care of you next time. It's getting late, you should go back now. Zhang Wangjiang's meeting is almost over, I need to wait for his call."
Knowing what was going on, Liu Mo'er got out of bed without a word, took a quick shower in the bathroom, put on her own clothes, blew a kiss to Liao Zhijie, picked up a paper bag of cash, and swayed away.
Liao Zhijie liked this about Liu Mo'er: she was sensible and obedient.
As soon as Liu Mo'er left, Jiang Mingyue silently jumped down from under the eaves of the living room.
Jiang Mingyue rubbed her ears. Those two scoundrels, they've tainted her ears.
She truly hadn't expected that Liao Zhijie and Liu Mo'er would actually have an affair.
That day in the tea room of Haiyang Building, she observed Liu Mo'er's face and discovered something very interesting.
Liu Mo'er has a pair of captivating peach blossom eyes, and a peach blossom mole on the bridge of her nose, indicating chaotic relationships between men and women. If not handled properly, she may suffer from a peach blossom curse.
When did these two get entangled?
According to Liu Moer's earlier statement, it's possible that this occurred before she joined the Clover Girls Group.
In the entertainment industry, it's quite common for entertainment company executives to have secret relationships with their female stars.
Jiang Mingyue declined to comment on their relationship, but she felt it was wrong of them to treat her like a fool. What right did they have to decide her life or death?! She had only signed with Xinghui Entertainment, not been sold to them!
Since they disregard her dignity, she has no need to consider theirs either.
Birds of a feather flock together.
Jiang Mingyue slipped into the bedroom and, while Liao Zhijie was showering in the master bathroom, she flicked a few silver needles over.
With a thud, Liao Zhijie's eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Jiang Mingyue walked over and turned off the shower. She glanced around and saw the phone on the sink. She walked over, picked up the phone, and returned to Liao Zhijie.
She crouched down, grabbed Liao Zhijie's right thumb, and used his fingerprint to unlock his phone.
During dinner that evening, Jiang Mingyue saw him unlock his phone with his right thumb.
She got up and left the bathroom, then went into his Green Bubble chat app and found his chat history with Zhang Wangjiang.
Liao Zhijie is cautious; there were only two chat records.
"Mr. Zhang, I've found someone for you, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
"Okay, you can arrange it as you see fit."
At first glance, it's a very ordinary chat log. Even if someone discovers it, they would just think it's a role recommendation or actor recommendation.
The record posted by Liao Zhijie was from a week ago, which, according to the timeline, was the day Jiang Mingyue was broadcasting the archery competition at the All-Star Games.
When the host asked her if she wanted to continue competing, she explicitly refused.
It turns out that Liao Zhijie had already harbored malicious intentions back then and began plotting against her.
A narrow-minded person.
She's already terminated the contract and agreed to pay the penalty, yet she's still scheming against her in every way possible. Does that mean she doesn't have to pay back that money?
Jiang Mingyue then looked through Liao Zhijie's chat history with other people. They were mostly talking about work, with no romantic or intimate conversations.
Jiang Mingyue exited the chat history and went to look through her phone's photo album. There were very few photos in the album; they were mostly documents and invoicing information related to Xinghui Entertainment Company.
cunning and treacherous.
Jiang Mingyue didn't believe there was nothing suspicious on his phone. She patiently clicked on all the apps one by one, and finally, after five minutes, she found a hidden file package.
The file package contains photos and videos, and each sub-file package is named separately. Judging from the names, they are not ordinary girls, but more like stage names, indicating a female artist related to Liao Zhijie.
The photos and videos were appalling. Some of the female celebrities looked familiar, while others were unfamiliar. Liu Mo'er was among them.
Most of the photos were taken secretly while the female celebrities were asleep, and some were taken voluntarily by both parties.
Jiang Mingyue took out her phone and took pictures of all the photos.
Jiang Mingyue will not delete the filth on Liao Zhijie's phone. Since Liao Zhijie dared to film it, he must bear the corresponding risks.
Jiang Mingyue put away her phone and looked up to see the Buddhist prayer beads that Liao Zhijie had placed on the bedside table.
She stepped forward, waved her right hand, and a burst of energy appeared, instantly turning the Buddhist beads into fragments.
Afterwards, she made a hand seal and silently recited scriptures in front of Liao Zhijie, who had fainted in the shower.
Although there's no rush to punish him, he still needs to be punished to experience what it's like to be plagued by nightmares!
Five minutes later, Jiang Mingyue left the presidential suite.
Liao Zhijie was woken up by the cold. When he woke up, he found himself unconscious in the shower room. He touched his dizzy head and wondered how he had fainted. Was it really because he was getting old and couldn't do anything about it?
He patted his head, resolutely refusing to admit that he was incapable; he must have drunk too much and passed out drunk.
Liao Zhijie stood up, holding onto the glass door, and slowly moved to the sink. He picked up his phone and glanced at it; it was three in the morning.
He was dizzy for two hours.
Liao Zhijie put down his phone, turned on the tap to wash his face, and glanced at the mirror unintentionally, where a funny face suddenly appeared.
Liao Zhijie was so frightened that he backed away. He must have been seeing things.
The bathroom was brightly lit and, apart from being spacious, there were no random ghost faces.
Liao Zhijie shook his head, returned to the sink, and washed his face again. Suddenly glancing at the mirror, he caught a glimpse of a funny face.
"Who is it?!"
Liao Zhijie was brave and unafraid of these things. He suddenly remembered that he had just had a nightmare in which Jiang Mingyue turned into a female ghost and kept chasing him, saying that she died a terrible death and was tortured terribly by Zhang Wangjiang.
Jiang Mingyue's distorted, ghostly face terrified Liao Zhijie, leaving him with lingering fear.
An ominous sign!
Liao Zhijie quickly picked up his phone. It was 3 a.m., and Zhang Wangjiang hadn't contacted him, neither by phone nor text.
Logically, it should have ended by now, which is strange.
Liao Zhijie dialed Zhang Wangjiang's number directly, but it rang for a long time without being answered. Was he asleep?
It's still dark; let's wait until it's light before we talk about it.
Liao Zhijie was too lazy to take another shower, so he took his phone and left the shower room.
He went to the living room to drink a glass of water, then went back to bed. He habitually reached for his prayer beads, but ended up with his hand full of crumbs.
He frowned, sat up in surprise—where had his Buddhist prayer beads gone?
There was only a pile of brown crumbs on the bedside table, the color of which looked like his Buddhist prayer beads.
Liao Zhijie's face turned deathly pale, and goosebumps rose on his skin. In the nightmare he had just experienced, Jiang Mingyue had turned into a female ghost and shattered his Buddhist prayer beads with a single palm strike!
They said it was a warning to him, that the next time they would come to take his life!
Was his nightmare real? Was Jiang Mingyue tortured to death by Zhang Wangjiang?!
Liao Zhijie's back stiffened, and his heart raced.
Then he shook his head violently. No, don't scare yourself. He's dreaming. He's definitely not awake yet!
Liao Zhijie decided to close his eyes and go to sleep, but the next second he hurriedly grabbed his phone and ran out of the bedroom, determined to find Zhang Wangjiang!
…………
Two hours ago.
After leaving the presidential suite, Jiang Mingyue did not return to room 1015; instead, she went to Liu Mo'er's room.
Liu Mo'er has a messy love life, and Jiang Mingyue wants to take a gamble: besides her affair with Liao Zhijie, does Liu Mo'er have any other ambiguous relationships with other members of the concert team?
The words came true.
Jiang Mingyue moved with impunity, jumping from the balcony into Liu Mo'er's suite. Who would have thought that after dealing with Liao Zhijie, Liu Mo'er would still have the energy to deal with other men?
And that person was none other than Li Qiang, whom even Jiang Mingyue hadn't expected.
Li Qiang, top agent at Star Shine Entertainment.
Ha, what a despicable couple.
Judging from the familiarity of their conversation, they probably knew each other even before Liao Zhijie.
After the two of them had made love in the bedroom, Jiang Mingyue glanced at the time: ten minutes had passed.
Jiang Mingyue pursed her lips. Li Qiang was younger after all; no wonder Liu Mo'er couldn't get satisfaction from Liao Zhijie.
"Brother Qiang, why are you so nice to Jiang Mingyue? I'm getting jealous."
In the bedroom, Liu Mo'er was finally satisfied. She nestled in Li Qiang's arms and played with his fingers.
Li Qiang was her first love, and it was Li Qiang who led Liao Zhijie to that club.
Li Qiang, with his hands around Liu Mo'er's waist, had lost his sanctimonious demeanor from the daytime and was now filled with arrogance.
"You moved your concert venue to the South Island Stadium and sold over 20,000 additional tickets. Who do you think they're coming for?"
"If this concert goes well, Jiang Mingyue has already retired from the entertainment industry, so she has no competition with you. You can upgrade your status, wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?"
Liu Mo'er said with a hint of resentment, "I understand the reasoning, but I just can't stand her arrogant and domineering attitude, and how she doesn't respect anyone."
Li Qiang chuckled, "Then you won't have to be so indignant tomorrow. Once Zhang Wangjiang gets involved, you'll never be able to cause any trouble again."
What if she manages to curry favor with Zhang Wangjiang?
"What kind of women hasn't Zhang Wangjiang seen? All kinds of women, plump and slender. He's the kind of person who plays around and then throws them away. You can't afford to offend the tigress at home."
Jiang Mingyue curled her lips into a cold smile and silently recorded their conversation.
The moment Jiang Mingyue saw Li Qiang, she could tell he was ambitious and she was always on guard against him.
He was also involved in Zhang Wangjiang's affair.
The senior executives of Star Shine Entertainment are truly ugly and corrupt, beyond redemption.
