Wu Youyou's expression didn't change much. This rag doll originally belonged to her, and it was only right that she wanted it back now.
What does it mean to still care about something? Shouldn't you be?
"Instructor Tang is joking. If I remember correctly, I once told you that this doll was a birthday gift from my mother when I was a child. In a sense, it is very important to me!"
"Oh—how important is it! What if I just don't give it back to you, what can you do about it?"
"How can Instructor Tang go back on his word? Didn't you say you'd return it to me after military training? How could you break your promise!"
Tang Chuxuan looked somewhat embarrassed for a moment, his eyes darting around.
"Well, it's like this: after military training, I put that plush doll in the warehouse along with my bedding. I'll go and get it for you in a while."
Wu Youyou stared into Tang Chuxuan's eyes and said solemnly,
"You're not lying to me, are you!"
"Hehe, would I need to lie to you for a broken rag doll? You're such a grown-up, I really can't understand why you're still so childish, like a little girl."
After Tang Chuxuan pretended to scold her, he left without waiting for Wu Youyou's reply.
Wu Youyou stood there, somewhat puzzled.
Is liking plush toys childish?
The day's classes ended at 4:30 pm, and Tang Chuxuan watched Wu Youyou's hurried departure.
Call your assistant and tell him to follow Wu Youyou and see where she went.
Wu Youyou arrived at the company where her second brother had previously signed a contract. She stood at the company's main entrance according to the address.
Duomeng Culture Media Co., Ltd.
Wu Youyou had a memory of this company from her previous life; it was a very powerful film and television company that had produced many hit movies and TV series.
Wu Youyou stared at the company's name, a slight smile playing on her lips, and murmured,
"No matter who you are, from now on, this company's fate will be subject to an unprecedented sense of defeat."
She slowly walked in.
The receptionist stopped her and asked,
"Miss, who are you looking for?"
"Tell your supervisor that Wu Youyou, whom he wants to see, has arrived!"
The young woman's expression suddenly turned serious.
"Okay, please wait a moment while I contact them for you."
A moment later, a middle-aged man hurried over. He was wearing a sharp suit and looked very shrewd and capable. He walked up to Wu Youyou, smiled, and extended his hand. "Hello, I'm the company's vice general manager. May I ask your name?"
Wu Youyou shook hands with him politely, "Hello, my surname is Wu, and I am Wu Qifeng's sister."
The deputy general manager glanced at Wu Youyou, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
"So you're Wu Qifeng's sister. Please come with me, let's talk in the conference room."
The two arrived at the conference room, where the deputy general manager asked Wu Youyou to sit down and then personally poured her a cup of tea.
Wu Youyou took the teacup, took a small sip, and then asked bluntly, "I heard that your company was recently acquired by a mysterious person. Is that true?"
The deputy general manager nodded.
"Yes, Mr. Wu's company was indeed acquired by a mysterious person. We don't know his identity, we only know that he successfully acquired the company through a series of capital operations."
Wu Youyou frowned.
"Then, can you make decisions about my second brother's matter?"
The deputy general manager sighed, "It's a pity. Wu Qifeng was an actor that our company had high hopes for. Even without this mysterious person, I wouldn't have given up on him so easily. What's more, this mysterious person has now specifically stated that Wu Qifeng cannot terminate his contract on his own."
Upon hearing this, Wu Youyou's heart tightened.
"According to you, the mysterious person behind your company is clearly targeting us."
The deputy general manager shook his head. "I don't know the specifics either. All I know is that I've just passed on the message to you."
Wu Youyou was silent for a moment, then said, "I would like to meet this mysterious person, is that alright?"
The deputy general manager looked at her with some difficulty, "This... I'm afraid it won't be easy. This mysterious person is very low-key, and we have never seen his face. He communicates with us through his lawyer."
Wu Youyou took a deep breath. "Is there any way I can contact his lawyer?"
The deputy general manager nodded. "I can help you make the contact, but I'm not sure if he'll be willing to meet with you."
Wu Youyou smiled slightly, "Thank you, could you please help me make the contact?"
Looking into her determined eyes, the deputy general manager couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration. He picked up the phone and began contacting the mysterious man's lawyer.
After some twists and turns, Wu Youyou finally met the mysterious man's lawyer in a coffee shop.
Wu Youyou was surprised to see someone sitting on the other side, her face filled with disbelief.
"I really didn't expect it to be you!"
Lin Yifeng, on the other hand, showed no surprise whatsoever. He chuckled lightly.
"Youyou, we are destined to be together after all!"
At this moment, Wu Youyou's eyes were very cold. Even if she had any connection with the person in front of her before, he had become her enemy as soon as he started working for that mysterious person.
Wu Youyou simply got straight to the point: "Since we're all acquaintances, let's not beat around the bush. How can you agree to terminate my second brother's contract? I'm willing to pay a certain price."
Lin Yifeng remained calm and spoke slowly, "Youyou, I naturally know why you've come. However, I'm just doing what I'm paid for. The person behind me is very mysterious, and I've never met him, but he only gave me one sentence."
What is it?
Lin Yifeng glanced at Wu Youyou, a hint of reluctance flashing in his eyes, but finally said...
"As long as you go to the banquet alone and don't tell anyone, we can talk."
After saying that, he pushed a slip of paper in front of Wu Youyou and continued,
"What needs to be done is all written very clearly on it."
Wu Youyou took the note, opened it, and sneered, "He went to great lengths to acquire a company and control my second brother's contract, just to make me accompany him to a banquet? How ridiculous!"
The lawyer pondered for a moment, then said, "My client is indeed very interested in you. I can warn you, he's not a simple man!"
Wu Youyou seemed to sense a sense of danger from Lin Yifeng's words.
She involuntarily became wary.
"What exactly is your purpose?"
Lin Yifeng then laughed.
"Relax, Youyou, don't worry. You won't be in any danger at this banquet. It's really just a negotiation."
After hearing Lin Yifeng's words, Wu Youyou breathed a slight sigh of relief.
At least this mysterious person's target is only herself, and she can give it a try as long as there is a possibility of negotiation.
Wu Youyou gradually gained a better understanding. She decided to meet this mysterious person in person and communicate with him face-to-face. She was also very curious about who this person was.
