Her uncaring tone revealed how oblivious she was to the grave trouble she was in now!
Her agent was thoroughly vexed!
This Yan Bingqing had gone from bad to worse ever since her popularity had reached the ceiling.
He knew her temperament well enough to reckon that she would get into trouble sooner or later. However, of all people, never had he expected her to offend the grand heir of the Mu family; this was simply her seeking trouble!
His chest undulated with anger. Perspiring profusely, he anxiously paced back and forth in the room. Finally, with a long sigh, he sat down before the woman and tried to talk some sense into her. âBingqing, donât be too headstrong. If it were someone else you have offended, I might still be able to handle this matter for you, but it happened to be Mu Yazhe this time. No PR team is powerful enough to save you if he bans you!â
She was not totally convinced. âIs he that powerful?â
âWhat do you think?!â He widened his eyes at her. âNot only is he the grand heir to the rich and powerful Disheng Financial Group, he also occupies the highest seat in it. No one will say ânoâ to him if he bans you!â
âWhy would he do that?! Yun Shishi is just a rookie in Huanyu, whereas Iâm the number one actress around! Would Huanyu ban me just for a newbie with no track record?! Iâm the biggest money tree in the company now; why would they want to ban me?!â Out of control, she let loose a string of interrogation.
He kept quiet for a change.
âSpeak! Why? Why would they want to ban me?â
âThere are no whys in this industry!â He smirked. âYan Bingqing, donât you know the rules after being here for so many years? There are so many more out there who are prettier, more beautiful, and more capable than you are, but why do you receive the most attention among them? There is no âwhyâ here, and thereâs only one reason for your popularity!â
Growing agitated, he stood up and went on. âItâs because you met me when you made your debut and have Yang Shoucheng as your backer! Donât you understand that? This industry doesnât look at your capability, but how powerful and influential your support is! Well, you lose in this regard! The only smart move left for you is to seek Yun Shishiâs forgiveness at the hospital; do you get it now?!â
She was dumbfounded.
âIâve spent plenty of resources and leg work to repackage your public image. Iâm the one who did all the dirty work to clear the scandals about you! You are finally famous, but do you know how difficult it was to bring you to where you are now? You are all smug about your current position, arenât you? You bring me nothing but trouble! You canât just go around offending others; still, why, of all people, must you step on the toe of Mu Yazhe?! Yan Bingqing, can you behave yourself for once! I repackaged your image to roll more money in and not to splurge it, instead! Iâve yet to recoup the capital Iâve invested in you, you know!â
She watched him dumbly with ashen face.
He ignored the sinking look on her face and merely continued speaking coldly. âYou can try to maintain your image before the public, but donât act high and mighty in front of me! Do you really take yourself as a princess? To me, you are just a commodity. I want to see my returns with the money Iâve invested in you. Why do I invest so much in you if I wonât get any return?! I can make you or sink you. Yan Bingqing, donât drive me into a corner, or Iâll turn around and bite! Donât blame me for being so unsentimental if that happens! Letâs see how much more you want to make things difficult for me!â
âYou watch your words!â
He had greatly antagonized her by now. Snickering, she coolly refuted, âThatâs right; I may have been a commodity, but havenât I contributed as well? When you told me to cater to those big bossesâ needs, didnât I do just that? I entertained them, slept with them, and let them do all kinds of things to me... Iâve given myself to others for their enjoyment, havenât I? Mo Yan, donât you push me here, too!â
