“Our agency had always maintained peace with Guangying Media and there are several collaborations between our agencies too. However, don’t you think that you have recently overstepped the boundaries and meddled too much in some of the matters involving our agency? Since you are also in the entertainment industry, shouldn’t you abide by the rules that are already in place to keep the peace? Since whatever is happening in another agency has nothing to do with you at all, shouldn’t you stay out of it, then?”
Le Xuan said as she leaned against the back of her chair with a look of contempt on her face.
“Whatever it is, you are still just an artiste who is trying to make it big in the entertainment industry. Although I have to admit that you do have some capabilities and you are really good at dealing with public relations, no matter what it is, you are still an artiste at the end of the day. Do you understand what I am trying to say? You are not in a very safe position yourself.”
Jiang Yuning tapped her fingers on the table as she listened to Le Xuan’s words. Vera could tell that Jiang Yuning was already getting a little impatient.
“So?”
“Stop meddling in Su Jinhang’s affairs because the more you meddle and try to get involved in the matter, the worse things will be for him. You will only be pushing him deeper and deeper into hell,” Le Xuan warned Jiang Yuning at this time. “Jiang Yuning, I know that you are also in love with Su Jinhang and that you are also trying very hard to get him. I do not believe in whatever message Su Jinhang posted on his social media account to clarify the relationship that both of you have. Do you really think that I am that naive to believe that you are only helping him because of your sense of justice? Stop kidding me. There is no justice in the entertainment industry because capital is the only thing that is king in the entertainment industry.”
“So, I would advise you to stop meddling in Su Jinhang’s affairs immediately. Otherwise, whatever you have done to whitewash and build up your own reputation in the past year would have all been for nothing.”
At this time, Le Xuan’s assistant was simply sitting at the side as she listened to the conversation between her boss and Jiang Yuning. Le Xuan was trying to humiliate and intimidate Jiang Yuning the way that she would treat any other young artistes in their agency.
But…
This was Jiang Yuning.
Le Xuan carefully observed the fairy like woman who was sitting directly opposite her. Jiang Yuning’s eyes…her eyes were as captivating as the deep blue sea and she could easily attract and capture the attention of anyone who looked at her. Although she looked very soft and demure, she also had a very tough expression on her face.
Humiliate?
Jiang Yuning had already heard insults and criticism that were ten thousand times worse than this.
Coercion?
Jiang Yuning had never been afraid or intimidated by anything.
Therefore…
“I think that you must have been mistaken about something, Miss Le. I initially thought that you asked me out today because you wanted to beg me for mercy,” Jiang Yuning replied in a sharp manner as she stared directly at Le Xuan. “Of course I know that the entertainment market is highly dependent on capital and investment. However, I also want you to know, Miss Le, that aside from capital and investment, the fans also play a very huge role in the entertainment industry. So, if you really want to protect your agency and your own reputation, I would strongly suggest that you stop oppressing Su Jinhang. Otherwise, it will be too late when the fans find out what you have been trying to do all this while…even if you refused to let go of Su Jinhang, I believe that his employment contract should be revised. Since we are already here today, then why don’t we talk about the terms of his employment contract?”
Le Xuan was so shocked that she could not stop herself from laughing out loud after listening to Jiang Yuning’s words. “Jiang Yuning, are you in your right mind? Do you even know what you are talking about?”
“First of all, I do not like or have any feelings for Su Jinhang at all. My reason is very simple…I just dislike you.”
“Secondly, you were saying that the most important thing in the entertainment industry is capital? Are you sure that you want to talk to me about money when I am a major shareholder of a global and internationally renowned hotel chain? Don’t you think that I would definitely have more money to spare for any investments at all? Huh?”
“Thirdly, do you think that I am just kidding right now? Since I have already stepped in and got myself involved in Su Jinhang’s affairs, then I will never leave or abandon what I have done midway. Therefore, I would suggest that you either terminate the employment contract that you have with Su Jinhang or renew the contract with revised terms of employment. If you refuse to do so, then the person who would suffer the biggest disadvantage in the end is ultimately you. Don’t you know that already?”
“Fourthly, I am just helping you to see the pros and cons, Miss Le. I can’t help you anymore if you still refuse to admit defeat. I have already been waiting for the public relations team of your agency to come up with ways to resolve the current public relations issue but it seems as though there is no action from your side at all. Is it because you are all helpless and do not know what to do?”
Le Xuan was dumbfounded and she was at a loss for words after these few sentences by Jiang Yuning. She could only stare at Jiang Yuning with a shocked look on her face.
At this time, Le Xuan’s assistant was also in awe as she stared at Jiang Yuning.
She had always known her boss to be undefeatable.
However, would she have expected her boss to be left completely speechless in front of Jiang Yuning?
The other party was a young girl who was less than twenty-five years old but at this time, Le Xuan was suppressed by Jiang Yuning and there was no way for her to refute any of her statements at all.
Jiang Yuning seized the dominant position by simply expressing her feelings and thoughts in a few simple sentences. Moreover, Jiang Yuning did not leave Le Xuan with any room to struggle or retaliate at all.
“You can continue fighting with me if you want to because it does not bother me at all. However, you should also know that majority of the netizens and public are already feeling sorry and distressed for Su Jinhang at this time. Therefore, any negative actions that you take against Su Jinhang will definitely be picked on by the fans. If I were in your position, I would definitely renew and revise the terms of the employment contract that I have with Su Jinhang. This might be your one and only way out of this situation.”
“Of course, if you want to witness the full extent of the fans’ power, then you ae more than welcome to do so. I will be more than happy to sit by and watch since whatever you do will not cause me any harm anyway.”
At this time, Le Xuan had a bitter expression on her face as she gritted her teeth and stared at Jiang Yuning with hatred in her eyes.
She obviously came here today to give Jiang Yuning a warning and to teach her a lesson. However, right now, it seemed as though Jiang Yuning had a foothold over her.
“Miss Le, mark my words. If you refuse to let go now, it will be too late when you have to kneel down before me to beg for mercy and ask for my help in the future. If you think that I am only exaggerating right now, then you can just ignore what I am telling you. I have nothing to lose.”
“Finally…I would like to educate you on something. The entertainment industry is not a place without any justice but the only reason why you think that way is simply because dirty people will only see everything in a dirty and inappropriate manner. Do you really think that everyone in the entertainment industry can be easily bought with money? You should already know the answer based on Su Jinhang’s attitude and his refusal to comply with your absurd requests. There are always things in this world that is more important than money or benefits. Otherwise, why else would Su Jinhang choose to squat at a corner to eat his lunchbox instead of giving in and surrendering himself to you? Shouldn’t you reflect on yourself?”
“Let’s go, Vera. I initially thought that Miss Le had something that would be worth my time today. This is such a waste of my time”
After that, Jiang Yuning got up from her chair immediately.
“I already told you that it would not be necessary for you to agree to meet up with her today,” Vera replied as she reached out to help Jiang Yuning.
“I was wrong. I know that I am wrong now…I will listen to all of your arrangements in the future.”
After that, Jiang Yuning started walking away but after taking a few steps, she turned around once again before looking at Le Xuan. “Miss Le, I will be waiting to hear from you.”
At this time, Le Xuan stood up immediately before walking in front of Jing Yuning to stop her from walking away. “Jiang Yuning! Don’t you think that you are a little too much? I have already paid so much and spent so much time and resources on Su Jinhang. I cannot let him go so easily.”
“Miss Le, could I ask you to take a look at yourself right now? You are probably in your late thirties or your early forties. I am not trying to launch a personal attack at you right now because age should not be an issue when it comes to love. However, what I want to point out right now is the fact that you have a fiancé but you are still trying to seize Su Jinhang and coerce him into becoming your man. Do you really think that the world is solely revolving around you? If Su Jinhang was really interested in you, then I will not have anything to say at all because it would be true love. The fact is that Su Jinhang is only twenty-two years old now and he is an independent person who should be allowed to have his own life. He is not a toy or puppet that should be controlled by you at all times. Do you really think he is happy to be under your control?”
“You can decide if you want to let go or otherwise. That is your own decision as long as you are certain that you can bear the consequences of your actions.”
“Jiang…”
“Shh…” Jiang Yuning shushed Le Xuan, beckoning her to keep quiet. “Le Xuan, stop being so selfish.”
After that, Jiang Yuning pushed Le Xuan aside before leaving the restaurant with Vera by her side.
Le Xuan was taken aback and she almost stumbled as she took a few steps back. Fortunately, her assistant stood up and caught her in time.
“Sister Xuan, are you okay?”
At this time, Le Xuan’s eyes were red and she started tearing immediately. “I will not let go! I will never let go just like that!”
“But Sister Xuan, we…we no longer have the ability to retain Su Jinhang.”
