Chapter 18

Zhang Jianian and Wang Qing set out to rescue the boss, while the people in the office were gossiping. The secretaries gathered together to discuss the heavy news. Chenxing Film and Television finally responded to Li Taihe’s termination of the contract and took Li Taihe to court, claiming a breach of contract damages of 100 million yuan.

As soon as the news came out, Li Taihe’s fans simply fried the pot and scolded Chenxing Film and Television on the Internet.

Little river water: The shameless company sucked his blood every day. That wasn’t enough, it now wants to completely tear off his face?

Tai: Support Li Taihe’s rights and destroy the spicy chicken company with an unequal contract!

The ball is rolling: Chenxing Film and Television is crazy about money. Can your company make an annual net profit of 100 million?

Radiant humble person: Don’t turn over the matters to the company. Li Taihe used to have such good resources, but now he has gone back and forth to cancel the contract. Do you think businessmen are philanthropists?

Butterfly machine: Don’t boast, don’t blacken, Chenxing Film and Television has never treated Li Taihe badly in terms of resources. Fans should be happy, Chenxing’s methods are so tough, it proves that your idol and the boss are really just catching up and innocent [doge].

Lululuxi: No, no, fans will definitely clamor that the little princess has an unforgettable relationship with Li Taihe. They will deliberately retaliate. [doge] Do they really think that the brother is so charming?

As a rising male star, Li Taihe had a fan group with terrifying fighting power. His every move would be infinitely magnified, making it easy for it to get on the social media’s hot search. In the real world, these actors would be described as “fresh meat”, but in the book, they hadn’t yet developed that term and passers-by only thought that Li Taihe’s fans were crazy.

Xia Xiaoxiao saw the online disputes and her mood was complicated. She didn’t expect Li Taihe to stand on the opposite side of her company. Although she had left Chenxing Film and Television and began to work in Yinda, in the end, both sides were under the management of President Chu and belonged to the same camp.

Li Taihe cared for her during the filming many times and President Chu also threw her suit jacket at her coldly. She didn’t know where to stand.

When the secretaries saw the comments from netizens, they also gossiped, “They really took it to court? Doesn’t President Chu care?”

“Perhaps President Chu just wanted to discipline him?” The others were also at a loss. Although everyone had heard a lot of rumors, they had never seen evidence and couldn’t produce a real hammer. (proof)

Li Taihe’s years in Chenxing Film and Television had been smooth and the resources were so good that it was so susceptible. The company was naturally full of rumors, but nobody really saw him go shopping with the boss or enter and exit a hotel publicly.

“Xiaoxiao, weren’t you from Chenxing before? Haven’t you heard of anything?” Someone looked at Xia Xiaoxiao, who was wearing a suit on the workstation and asked curiously.

Xiaoxiao was taken aback, waved her hand uneasily and explained with a guilty conscience, “I’m just an intern, how would I have come into contact with the stars?”

“That’s true,” the other secretaries didn’t think too much anymore. Xia Xiaoxiao was a young newcomer and it was indeed not easy for her to see Li Taihe.

Xia Xiaoxiao was a little ashamed after lying, but she didn’t want to say that Li Taihe wasn’t good, nor did she want to say that President Chu wasn’t good. So she could only avoid the topic.

When everyone was talking, Wang Qing opened the door and walked in.

She glanced around and said, “Who knows about variety shows? President Chu needs someone to give a report…”

The car accident had been handled by a dedicated person. After President Chu came to the company, the first thing she did was to ask Wang Qing to help collect information on the variety show and film industry.

The secretaries  had their own division of labor and no one was considered idle, except for an alternative existence. Wang Qing’s gaze passed through Xia Xiaoxiao and she thought of her, “Xia Xiaoxiao, weren’t you from Chenxing Film and Television before? Come with me.”

Xia Xiaoxiao got up, followed Wang Qing step by step and walked towards President Chu’s room, but didn’t hear the comments from the people behind her.

“It’s over! President Chu’s report requires high ability. Wouldn’t the little intern get scolded to death?”

“Sister Wang Qing can’t do anything. She can’t always let her stay idle. Xiaoxiao doesn’t understand the company’s business, so she can’t work in other aspects.”

Xia Xiaoxiao now looked like the mascot of the president’s office. With her incompatible style and koi physique, she stood out from the crowd. The other secretaries were all graduates from prestigious universities and had rich resumes, they treated Xia Xiaoxiao like a child and patted her head every day.

There was no office competition between them, because Xia Xiaoxiao’s level was a lot lower than others. Although Xia Xiaoxiao actively wanted to integrate into work, she had no idea about financial investment. She could only buy coffee every day and envied the busyness of other people.

Her colleagues were very good to her and took extra care of her, making her even more guilty. She wanted to prove herself, and like other sisters, be an efficient and capable career woman.

Xia Xiaoxiao followed Wang Qing to the door of the President’s Office. She looked at the door with horror. It was where she poured coffee on the boss. The secretaries and sisters would occasionally tease her about that, saying that she was a koi that hit an iceberg but escaped. It was absolutely a rare thing in a century.

Wang Qing knocked carefully on the door. Hearing President Chu’s response, she entered the office with Xia Xiaoxiao and reported, “President Chu, didn’t you say you want to know more about variety shows? You can tell Xia Xiaoxiao your specific requirements. She will report it to you after finishing.”

Xia Xiaoxiao stood behind Wang Qing and secretly looked at President Chu. President Chu had light makeup today and was dressed smartly. She was looking down to browse the documents. Her beautiful profile was cold and frosty when she was serious. Xia Xiaoxiao carefully checked her clothes and confirmed that everything was correct, which relieved the little tension.
