He was irked by her response. "Oh, my! Can you come up with a more believable lie? You are just an unknown university student with no relations whatsoever to him. Do you know who he is? Don't try to get your way in by quoting his name."
"He's inside; you can ask him yourself."
He refused to let her in. As the two were arguing, a voice suddenly interrupted, "What is happening here? Why are there so many people crowding at the door?"
Gu Xingze walked out of the audition room and heard a faint commotion downstairs. He hurried over and saw this scene.
He was pleasantly surprised when he recognized Yun Shishi standing at the clustered entrance. "Shishi, you are here!"
He enthusiastically approached her. "I thought you had given up!"
She felt awkward with his enthusiasm. "Hi, Mr. Gu! How are you doing?"
"Don't be so polite. You can call me Xingze."
The person in charge of filtering the auditionees was completely taken aback by this unexpected occurrence.
Oh, god. Was this really the high-and-mighty superstar, Gu Xingze, that he knew of?
Over the other side, the first batch of auditionees had just completed their audition and walked out of the room. Among these girls wearing heavy makeup was Yun Na, who had gotten the invitation card through underhanded means.
However, she currently had a strange look on her face.
A few days ago, Li Dongqiang sought her at home as he had threatened.
Li Qin and Yun Yecheng were not around. Yun Na locked herself in, but Li Dongqiang managed to break open the door.
He got in, dragged her by the hair, and slapped her so hard she fell on the bed.
"B*tch, did you think I was joking when I demanded my money back?"
Yun Na cried and begged for mercy, "Brother Qiang, I have no money. I really have no money to give you!"
Yun Na clasped her swollen face and cried woefully, "I got my sister to service you for a night, right? Isn't that worth 500,000 yuan?"
Her words only infuriated him further.
"D*mn you! How dare you bring that up! I must settle this score with you. Yun Na, are you taking me for a fool?!"
"Brother Qiang, I don't understand what you mean. Please explain." She was really begging and crying for mercy this time.
Eyes ridden with fury, he clenched her throat with both hands and exclaimed, "Good! Let me tell you how to die!"
It turned out that Disheng Financial Group had sent those men to take him away that day.
Disheng Financial Group, which was owned by the rich and influential Mu family, was the number one conglomerate in the capital.
The bodyguards took him to a deserted parking lot and gave him a good thrashing.
He had some influence and power at the East Side underground. In order to rise through the ranks and reach his present position, he had gotten his hands dirty.
However, these bodyguards were from the Special Task Force and had fought in many wars and battles before. One of them could easily finish off five of him.
He was almost crippled by them. Thankfully, he knew how to beg for mercy and managed to keep himself intact.
The bodyguards threw him out of the hotel and told him that he was punished for laying a finger on a woman he should not have touched.
