Chapter 271 - Selena Tang (9)

The next day, Jiang Li just heard that the young master of the Qin family moved back to the Qin Enterprise. It was then announced that he had broken his engagement with the ice queen of the Mo family. A move that caught everyone caught off-guard.

However, there was one more thing shocking that happened at that time. There was also the news that the Qin family suddenly ceased all cooperation with the Mo family. This time, not even the old head of the latter could stay still. The other members panicked and started looking for Mo Zan.

Actually, it seemed even the other business entities and the media were astonished since the cooperation between the two was supposed to get stronger due to the betrothal. So what happened?

Jiang Li didn't bother looking up the extent of damage done to the Dreamer Entertainment and other companies under the Mo Group. All he knew was that he was looking forward to how Mo Zan would prove to the world that she chose correctly when she pushed Qin Tai away for the new Movie Emperor, Liu De.

Independent and capable? It should be fun to spectate how this woman that the male lead fancied would show this to everyone now. Could she do this now that the man silently supporting and sweating blood for her behind the scenes had given up on her?

"The situation should be temporary. But if this Mo Zan is like the CEO of a typical urban love story and the secretary slash fiance is Qin Tai, without him she should realize she was not as good and strong as she thought. There should be a chance she would be forced by her family to apologize to him but then, the lovestruck fool would have wanted to treasure himself more and would not easily give in."

Would a love chase ensue? However, once someone learned his lesson, it would be hard to fool them again. Also, how would the other system host react to the situation?

Jiang Li wondered, "If this is a normal story and a female lead becomes busy and can't act lovey-dovey with the male lead, the male lead would be the one adjusting and giving help behind the scenes…."

"But with Liu De being the guy in question… And given that there are many sisters out there who would gladly take her spot… Would he support her? Doubtful. But, it would be interesting to see what will happen."

The man was laughing while holding a mug of coffee in his left hand. As he typed on the keyboard using his free hand, he acted as if he couldn't see the letter on the left side of his laptop.

Dismissal Letter. It was something sent to him by the assistant who called him yesterday. What was his name again? Xu whoever? Well, no matter what it was, this guy mailed the letter this morning formally informing him that he had been kicked out of the set.

He was no longer the producer of the drama starring one of the harem members of the other transmigrator. In other words, he was now jobless and without a project. But he was not at all bothered.

Anyways, why would he? When from the start, he had no plan to continue being a producer?

Even if the Original passed his memories and expertise to him, so what?

If one had the ability to shine by themselves, of course, they should take the opportunity and not dedicate their lives to making others take the spotlight instead.

If the real Zheng Xiang had no problems being the behind-the-scene man for his ex-wife, Jiang Li had. He would not do it even if the person was her. Instead, he would go to the front line and fight or stand side by side with her at the battlefield or stand at the same stage.

Look at what happened to the Original and the guy he talked to yesterday. One would just be compelled to shake their heads at them. Qin Tai was at fault for going against the male lead and trying to sow discord between Mo Zan and Liu De. His fault lied in not first determining whether the woman he was fighting for would be gracious enough to remember his contributions in case his schemes all went south.

However, what of the Original? Oh, well, maybe his fault was trusting too much that marriage was a very powerful binding.

Anyways, back to Qin Tai. Thankfully, the guy was intelligent and easy to convince.

He was sure that part of the reason was that the man already knew the real situation. He was being used. Only, he didn't want to admit to himself. The reason could be pride, or unwillingness to accept that he was being used and deceived.

Well, people were sometimes like that. While they could easily see the truth, they would subconsciously choose to ignore it to maintain the little warmth or illusion in their hearts. For them, although it hurts, they would still choose to cling onto the illusion as if it was their sole ticket to happiness. Sometimes to wake them up, various measures would be needed.

Luckily, Qin Tai was somebody who only needed another person to point out the truth to him.

Maybe it helped that he just experienced being pushed away for another guy so he could quickly sober up.

Nonetheless, it was still quite a surprise that the guy not only went back to his family and took back all the support given to the woman's family, but also cut off their relationship as betrothed partners.

He thought Qin Tai would be the hopeless kind who would use the partnership and shares as bargaining ch.i.p.s then ask her to leave the male lead.

But maybe, this was all for good. Society sometimes had a misconception about men, that no matter what kind of relationship they entered, they were likely to get hurt than women once it goes downhill. Or even if they got hurt, they would be able to easily move on and heal.

Now, the guy was showing the extent of pain brought to him by the woman he loved.

But whatever…

Those people's affair was not what he should focus himself on today.

After taking a few sips, he stood up and placed down the cup of coffee atop the dismissal letter. Making sure the software he downloaded was running okay, he searched for his guitar and then brought it back in front of the laptop.

"Mic test. Mic test." While plucking a few strings there, he said. Afterward, he moved his hand on the mouse and played the recorded sound.

"All good."

The man did various tests with the instrument and the recorder before moving on to the cameras. After ensuring that everything was working well, he then changed into a black regular shirt with long sleeves folded near his elbow. When he sat down, he also made sure the sunlight coming from the opened glass window was pouring directly onto him, especially his face.

Only after that did he start recording. At the end of it, he had cursed several times because he had to take video four times. It was hard to get to the mood. And from time to time, he was forgetting the lyrics. What a shame for a former song artist!

But who asked him to disgust himself by writing cringy lyrics and singing like a lovelorn man begging for someone to come back to him?

'I want you back… Please return to me…'

'I can't go on without you…'

It was easy for him to record audio, but this time, the challenge had been keeping his face from turning sour. Heaven knows that he felt like dying as the words escaped from his lips.

It was only through gritting his teeth that he finished the recording. Without much editing, apart from mashing up videos taken from different angles, he posted the finished product online, reviving his Weibo which was still a battlefield due to the recent scandal with Mo Fang.  

Once that ex-wife of his saw this, how would she react? He wondered.

Does she know he suffered so much for her? And that he would make sure that his efforts wouldn't go to waste?

A second later, he saw a message flashing on his screen. Without the camera recording his expression, he did not suppress the disgust from showing on his face.
