Chapter 500: Chapter 507

Chapter 507 Why Not Wang Shengli didn’t trust her completely, but he had no other choice. “I see. I shall be waiting for your news then. May I have your number?” Wang Shengli asked.

“No,” Ning Ran rejected him flatly.

Wang Shengli didn’t want to give up just yet. “How should I contact you then, Ms. Ding?”

“Call Nan Chen’s office and make an appointment.” She took her kids and tried to leave, but Wang Shengli got in her way again.

“Please, Ms. Ding. Tell me how I can contact you. That way, I can—”

“Out of the way. Harass my Mommy again, and I’ll tell Daddy about this,” Dabao warned him sternly.

Wang Shengli quickly made way for them, worried that the boy might actually do that.

Ning Ran and the kids left, and she heaved a sigh of relief after she got in the car.

After arriving at the Orchid Club, Tang Jing got out of the taxi and proceeded to the room Ouyang Qing told her to meet in.

Ouyang Qing was looking red, obviously because she was drunk. When Tang Jing entered the room, she received a cold reception. “What took you so long, Tang Jing? Are you betraying me too? Do you think I can’t do anything to you?”

Okay, this woman is in a bad mood. Well, no need to get angry over her attitude then. Tang Jing apologized, “I came here as soon as I got the call. The traffic was awful, so that’s why I was late.”

Ouyang Qing was still upset, and she pointed at Tang Jing. “You’re sorry? You’re sorry? Sorry doesn’t cut it!”

Tang Jing didn’t talk back, but she was angry about the attitude she was receiving. She poured herself a glass of wine and gulped it down, and she calmed down ever so slightly. “I know it doesn’t cut it. I’ll be faster next time.” She smiled.

“Did you see the news?” Ouyang Qing asked.

“Not yet. What happened?” Tang Jing lied. She had seen the news, but she pretended that she knew nothing about it.

The first thing everyone would do after they woke up was to go through the trending topics. They must know what happened as soon as possible, and that was especially true for Tang Jing, who was working in the entertainment industry.

Ouyang Qing growled, “You don’t know? That b*tch came out again, and that woman turned on us. She admitted to making a false accusation against that b*tch, and she even apologized.”

Tang Jing still pretended that she knew nothing about it. “What woman? What b*tch are you talking about this time?”

“Ding Mi, of course. Are you stupid? You should have gotten that,” Ouyang Qing roared.

“I see. I thought she was involved with drugs. Isn’t she supposed to be in jail?” Tang Jing asked on purpose.

“Those idiots didn’t clean up after themselves, and she managed to get away this time.” Ouyang Qing hurled her glass away hatefully, breaking it into smithereens. Tang Jing ignored that and took another sip of the wine.

For some reason, she was deriving a sense of pleasure from Ouyang Qing’s failure. “So, is the movie going to begin production again?” Tang Jing asked softly.

“I knew it. You only care about the movie. You don’t care about me. Tang Jing, you only got to be the supporting cast because I’m the investor. I recommended you to the producers, and you only barely scraped by. Just because you got this role doesn’t mean you’re a big star now. I can swap you out for someone else whenever I d*mn please. I am your boss and backer. You’re nothing without me!”

Ouyang Qing roared at Tang Jing. She was obviously still upset.

Tang Jing wanted to splash Ouyang Qing’s face with her wine, but she held back. Do you think you’re some kind of bigshot? I still became a star without your help. You got your money from your father.

Without him, you’re nothing.

I am still a celebrity even without a rich dad, but if you lose your father, you’ll be reduced to nothing.

Ouyang Qing might have drunk a lot, but she wasn’t drunk, so she could feel the anger in Tang Jing’s eyes. “What? Are you angry? Did you think I said something wrong? Do you want to betray me as well?

Do you think I can’t swap you out? I can give them a call, and you’ll lose your role tomorrow, get it?”

Ouyang Qing pointed at Tang Jing furiously.

The latter plastered a fake smile. “Yes, I know. You gave me everything I have, and I am grateful for that.”

“Then why aren’t you repaying me? Why aren’t you bringing that b*tch down?” Ouyang Qing roared.

Tang Jing sighed. “You know why. She has Sir Chen backing her up. I’m just a nobody. It’s hard for me to go against her.”

“So you’re just going to let her do as she pleases?” Ouyang Qing bellowed.

“There’s always a way to bring her down. Ask, and I shall do as you say,” Tang Jing said softly. She seemed calm, but she actually wanted to give Ouyang Qing one big slap.

“I tried everything, but it’s useless. I don’t care. You must make sure she gets the boot. You’ll become the lead if you can get her fired. Don’t you want that?” Ouyang Qing asked.

Of course, I want it. That’s my dream. “I’ve never even thought of that. I’m no match for her, and I know that, but she should never have crossed you no matter how talented she is,” Tang Jing replied gently.

“That is not what I want to hear. I want you to tell me how you’re planning on kicking her out of the team! She must not be left alone. I must make sure she disappears from this industry!”

Tang Jing sighed. “That’s a tall order for me. I’m just a nobody, so it’s a difficult one to pull off. The only way to do that is for you to use the resources you have. I can’t do it alone, but I can assist you.”

“I don’t want to hear that! Just tell me when you can kick her out! You have one week to make sure her reputation falls through rock bottom, or you’ll lose your role. If you can’t do this, I’ll get someone who can! Whoever brings her down will get the supporting role.”

Ouyang Qing was starting to panic. She had a feeling that her chances of winning would get slimmer if she dragged it on.

Ning Ran was just a no-name actress before this, but her fame rose after her drama got popular. Even though she was embroiled in many scandals, she could still get a lot of exposure, and thanks to that, Ning Ran was actually famous.

If I don’t take her out while I can, she’ll really rise through the ranks. It’ll be near impossible to wipe her out when that happens. The thing that worried her most was the Nan family. If they accepted Ning Ran as a part of the family, then she would never be able to take Ning Ran down.

The realization that she had little time left was making her nervous. I have to force Tang Jing’s hand.

She must attack Ning Ran. I don’t care even if Tang Jing is sacrificed if it means that Ning Ran will go down. Tang Jing is just a nobody anyway.

Tang Jing could guess what Ouyang Qing was thinking. After all, she knew the kind of person Ouyang Qing was. That was why she had to pretend that she didn’t know the latter was trying to use her. She’d play along and use Ouyang Qing to get what she wanted.

If she could get what she wanted and make it into the upper society, Tang Jing could break the partnership anytime she wanted.
