Chapter 125's goal is to complete the storyline and rescue Pei Jiaofu Yan Chuan.
As soon as Xu Wang stepped out of the elevator, he was led by his assistant to the reception room on the top floor.
When Xu Wang entered, Yu Yuan, who was in the room, instinctively stood up quickly.
"Mr. Xu?" Yu Yuan had never met Xu Wang before, because he was still under tremendous financial pressure and was still using an old-fashioned mobile phone that could only make calls.
"Hello, let me introduce myself. I am your future boss, Xu Wang." Xu Wang smiled and extended his hand to Yu Yuan.
"Hello." Yu Yuan wiped her hands and carefully took Xu Wang's hand.
Looking at Yu Yuan in front of him, Xu Wang could clearly sense the other's unease, perhaps because he was afraid of jumping into another fire pit after just coming out of a place that devoured people.
"Please sit down." Xu Wang gestured for a chair to be placed in his hand.
"Okay, okay." Yu Yuan hurriedly pulled over a chair and slowly sat down.
"I heard that many of the songs Zhong Ran sings were written by you. I wonder if it's true?" Xu Wang looked at Yu Yuan with a curious expression.
Yu Yuan didn't expect Xu Wang to come and ask him about this rumor. After all, even when he brought it up at the company, no one believed him. Some people even mocked him to his face, saying he wanted to go home and sleep.
Yu Yuan suddenly felt a little nervous. Afraid that he would not speak well, he extinguished the only lit candle in front of him.
Yu Yuan took a deep breath and nodded. Just as he was frantically organizing his thoughts, Xu Wang's soft words suddenly stunned him.
“Okay, do you have any evidence of your own? If so, you can bring it out. I will assign a lawyer to help you win this case, and the lawyer's fees will be covered by the company.” Xu Wang nodded and said with a smile.
Yu Yuan sat there blankly, not saying a word, when the boss made the decision.
"What's wrong? Do you have some other ideas?" Xu Wang looked at Yu Yuan with a puzzled expression when he saw that Yu Yuan was not speaking.
Xu Wang rested his elbows on the table and crossed his hands under his chin: "If you have any, you can tell me."
"No, no." Yu Yuan, after regaining her senses, quickly stood up and shook her head and waved her hands upon hearing Xu Wang's words.
The chair flipped backward with a loud thud due to Yu Yuan's sudden movement.
Xu Wang was bewildered by this scene. No, he had just said it casually, why are you so agitated?
Seeing the chair fall over behind him, Yu Yuan quickly righted it. Then, he looked at Xu Wang with excitement and said, "I have no objections. Just do it as you have arranged, boss. I have no objections."
Yu Yuan was afraid that Xu Wang would change his mind. He dreamed of proving himself and taking back the song he had created over countless days and nights, which was his life's work.
As Yu Yuan pondered this, the tears that had been welling up in her eyes could no longer be held back and flowed out like a burst dam.
Just as Xu Wang was about to say something, he saw a tear slide down his cheek and fall onto the table. Xu Wang stared in shock at this scene, wondering why she was crying when they were talking.
"Hey, here's some tissues." Xu Wang's gaze fell on the tissues on the small table next to him, and he quickly pulled out a few sheets for him. He also took an unopened bottle of mineral water from the table and placed it on the table in front of him.
Xu Wang looked at the man in front of him who was crying and felt really helpless. Although he knew that the world was a little different, he was still a little at a loss.
After all, Xu Wang had only cried when he was a child, but he had never cried since he could remember. If someone bullied him, he would bully them back. If someone looked down on him, he would work hard to make them unable to catch up. Xu Wang always raised his fist, which was the size of a sandbag, to intimidate those around him who wanted to bully him, because he knew very clearly that he would not have anyone's help and that he could only rely on himself.
"I'm sorry, I'm fine. I just couldn't control myself for a moment. I'm sorry." Yu Yuan wiped away his tears with a tissue. He could have held them back, but the thought of Xu Wang unconditionally believing him just because he nodded made him unable to hold back.
Some people, after being distrusted for so long, may become numb when they encounter another person who distrusts them. But as soon as someone trusts them, the emotions suppressed in their hearts will completely erupt, just like Yu Yuan now. He has longed for this trust for too long, for so long that he can hardly see the light on this path anymore.
Xu Wang patted the other person's shoulder understandingly, then stood up and walked to the door of the reception room. He decided to give the other person this space and let them calm down on their own.
Xu Wang walked into his own office, which occupied one-third of the entire top floor.
As soon as Xu Wang entered the office, he saw three agents who had been waiting there for a long time.
There were two male and one female agents.
"Good morning, Mr. Xu." The three of them greeted Xu Wang respectfully at the same time.
None of the three were unaware of Xu Wang, after all, the variety show "Honeymoon Trip of Newlyweds" has recently become a top-rated variety show, and Xu Wang and Pei Yanchuan's viewership on the show has remained consistently high, always holding the number one spot.
Furthermore, with President Pei standing behind Xu Wang, who represents the entire massive Pei Group, the three of them dared not show the slightest disrespect in front of Xu Wang, keeping their heads bowed low.
"Hmm." Xu Wang put away his gentle expression and glanced at the three people standing in front of him.
The three of them felt a chill run through their bodies as an immense pressure washed over them.
It felt like a huge rock was pressing down on the backs of the three of them.
"I hope we can work together happily in the days to come. Before we start, I'd like to state a few prerequisites. First, I hope there won't be any infighting in my company. Second, I hope there are no unspoken rules in my company. So, everyone, keep your belts tight. Third, each of you must ensure the safety of your actors when they go out, including social engagements." Xu Wang tapped his right index finger on the desk.
The sounds Xu Wang made while typing were particularly clear in the empty and quiet office.
The three people in front of the desk felt that Xu Wang wasn't tapping the desk, but rather their tense hearts.
"Yes, Mr. Xu." The three of them quickly replied. They were joking, of course. If they couldn't even protect their own people with such a powerful background, they might as well not be in this industry.
"You should know about Yu Yuan's situation, right?" Xu Wang turned to look at the only female agent in front of him, Sister Li. She was a veteran in the industry and a very decisive woman. She often produced wildly popular stars under her management.
"Reporting to Mr. Xu, I have a general understanding of the situation." Sister Li adjusted her glasses with her red-nailed hand and nodded.
"Take good care of him, he might surprise you." Xu Wang wasn't just saying this offhand. After all, Yu Yuan was indeed a very talented singer-songwriter in the original story, with 4 out of 5 songs becoming hits. That's a pretty high probability.
"To be honest, it's no wonder the plot gave the protagonist such a golden finger," Xu Wang thought to himself as he lay on the ground.
After Xu Wang finished saying what he wanted to say, he told the three of them to go back to their respective work.
The three agents relaxed as soon as they stepped out of the office.
"Phew, I was so suffocated! I never expected our CEO Xu to have such a powerful presence. I never saw that on the variety show," the tall manager, Li Cheng, couldn't help but exclaim.
"Who says otherwise? You couldn't tell at all that he was an omega. I felt like if I had said a single word of no just now, I wouldn't even know how I died." Another manager, Zhang Hao, wiped the sweat from his brow.
"Isn't this a good thing? It proves we didn't follow the wrong person." Sister Li raised her eyebrows. She had initially worried that her boss was too weak, but now it seemed she had worried for nothing.
"It really feels like a dream. My contract with my previous company had just expired, and I was still debating whether to renew it or go out on my own when a contract from Pei's Group came my way." Li Cheng couldn't help but laugh as he spoke. When he first received the document, he thought it was a scam. It wasn't until he received a call from President Pei's assistant that he realized it was real.
"Who isn't? I even read that document through completely. It said the boss hadn't decided on a name for the company yet. I immediately thought it was unreliable, but who knew it would be so outrageous." Zhang Hao tidied up his few remaining hairs.
"Alright, I'm not chatting with you guys anymore. I have a ton of things to do." After saying that, Sister Li went back to her office. She wanted to go back and see the person who might surprise her.
