Shi Shan's meaning was clear: if Ji Juntao insisted on not letting him see Shang Yechu, he wouldn't mind exposing the good deeds done by Ji Juntao's mother to the company.
The reason a circle is called a circle is because it only circulates among a specific group of people. Being drawn in by blood ties is far more efficient than trying to squeeze in empty-handed. Therefore, it's commonplace in the entertainment industry to feed company resources to one's own family.
If those in positions of power were to use company resources to enrich their own family members, Tianding Entertainment could simply laugh it off. The problem is, Ji Juntao's mother isn't some high-ranking official, top agent, or tycoon; she's just a long-time employee at Tianding Entertainment. She has no earth-shattering achievements, just a long-standing employee!
Even the smallest roles and productions are mere scraps in Tianding Entertainment's eyes. For Ji Juntao's mother, with her status and background, to dare to offer such a thing to her daughter—I don't know whether to praise her audacity or criticize her for spoiling Ji Juntao…
Some things are only significant when weighed, but become immensely powerful once exposed. Ji Juntao's mother, with her ungrateful behavior of bolstering the rival company's strength, will inevitably be purged once the truth comes out. Tianding Entertainment may not care about a few minor figures, but it certainly cares about clarifying the facts and eliminating the internal traitor!
No matter how bold Ji Juntao was, he wouldn't dare gamble with his own mother.
After a moment's consideration, Ji Juntao chose to reply with a classic phrase:
What do you want?
Shishan's reply was also quick:
You know what I want.
Shang Yechu rolled her eyes at the two of them playing cryptic games.
Ji Juntao replied:
"That's impossible. Ye Chu is our company's only pillar. I can't possibly leave her to you to mess around with."
"How could I possibly torment her?" Shi Shan said. "I've never tormented anyone in my life. I just want to focus on making good films."
Ji Juntao angrily shouted, "What are you pretending to be, you idiot!"
Shang Yechu looked at Ji Juntao with schadenfreude. After stomping his feet, the latter stubbornly uttered these words:
It's just fair competition.
This means they're planning to renege on their debt.
Shi Shan's reply was very appropriate: "You're right, but I believe that fair competition requires first obtaining the right to compete, right?"
Without Ji Juntao's mother leaking things through her fingers, those shrimps from Qingping Entertainment wouldn't even be qualified to get involved.
【Ye Chu is still young. Can you bear to see her suffer like this in her early twenties?】 Ji Juntao started playing the moral card again.
Shi Shan said: "[It seems Boss Ji chose Ye Chu over your mother. That's truly touching.]"
Upon seeing these words, Shang Yechu was immediately moved and exclaimed, "Oh my god! Oh my god! Boss Ji! Old Ji! Ji'er—Jun'er—Tao'er—I really am! If you don't let me down, I will never—"
Shang Yechu grabbed Ji Juntao's arm, tears welling in her eyes, intending to rub her face against it. Ji Juntao twisted Shang Yechu's arm and quickly typed a few words with one hand.
Okay, I agree to let you meet with Ye Chu.
Shang Yechu: "..."
Shang Yechu was not surprised at all. She immediately wiped away non-existent tears and sneered, "Boss Ji?"
“That’s my mom.” Ji Juntao’s head was pounding. “That’s—that’s our mom!”
"Sigh—sigh!" Shang Yechu said softly, "'A wolf in sheep's clothing—you're not allowed to go!'"
Ji Juntao sighed and said, "My mother is retiring in two years. Can you please let her retire peacefully and receive her pension?"
"Sigh—sigh!" Shang Yechu sighed, "'I can't gamble on Shi Shan not suiting your taste and indulge him recklessly. Let's cut him off first!'"
"Are you ever going to stop?" Ji Juntao said. "Don't you want to go yourself?"
Shang Yechu smiled slightly: "The biggest difference between you and me is that when you take a risk, you know you are taking a risk, while I often have no idea what I'm doing."
Ji Juntao was furious and embarrassed, wishing he could punch Shang Yechu into the sofa. But he felt guilty and ashamed, so he awkwardly changed the subject:
"You see? This man is so dangerous! Before he even approached you, he had already done all his homework, eliminating every possibility of you refusing. Do you still think you can outmaneuver him?"
