Chapter 166 - Johnny Works For The Best

------In Feng Entertainment-------

"President, bad news! We lost two more endorsements this week! We are being sued by them for breaking the contract."

"What!? He did it again!!"

Feng Gong, the president of Feng Entertainment, slammed his black pen over the papers presented before him.

The Feng family might be filthy rich in the eyes of most of the ordinary folks, but ultimately they were just affluent in the entertainment world, nothing more.

Feng Gong, who had spent in the past 30 years in the field, was used to its various ups and downs, but today, he was annoyed to extend where he raised his razor edged voice: "That useless sh*t!"

Song Liang was getting in trouble no matter where he went. For the past two years, he was acting uncontrollably arrogant towards everyone. These days he was getting more and more troublesome. 

'Why the hell did I took him in the first place?!'

Kneading his temples, Feng Gong gave his orders the person in his office after losing all hope: "Cancel his contract and tell him that the date is up. What's the use of keeping him around when he creates nothing but problems for us? Also, find someone to take care of him in the hospital. The netizens will criticize us if we abandon him after breaking the contract."

"Yes, President. I will deal with him, but what about his endorsement deals? Changing Song Liang will cost us more in breakage fees. Those endorsement companies booked Song Liang due to his popularity."

"Huh! What if we substitute him with the international star, Johnny? Then those agencies will shut their mouth with complete satisfaction. Right? So concentrate on getting the contract signed."

Gulping down his words, Director Si explained: "President, I talked with Johnny. He is demanding double endorsement fees for every deal. Not only that, but I also found out that he was interested in Xiao Action Entertainment's offer as it is more generous than ours."

"What?! XAE!"

With hesitation in his voice, his secretary revealed: "Even... some of our artists were invited by XAE with a high salary package. We lost some endorsements deal too."

A loud bang echoed throughout the room…

Feng Gong slammed his hands on the table; he was furious…

Just because they were from XAE didn't mean that they should neglect all the rules. How dare they poach his artists behind his back and steal his deals?!?

Shameless!!!

"Don't let any of our artist portfolios go into Xiao's hand. Understood?"

"Yes, President."

"Send me Johnny's contact details."

It was time to teach Young President Xiao Ran a lesson.

Not wasting a second…Feng Gong personally made a phone call to Johnny.

----At the same time--

At a certain high-class apartment:

A man was dressed in a black suit and he was refreshingly handsome. He refused to look at anyone seriously – in fact, his look was uncaring and lazy.

Johnny or Qiáng Ní continued to stare at himself in the mirror as he adjusted his suit. His calmness contrasted greatly to Manager Ying.

"I created the rumors that Xiao Entertainment was poaching artists, but there has been no reaction from Presiden Xiao."

"Relax, Ying! We will get it." The younger man's lips curved into a smirk.

Ring--Ring---

Johnny looked at the number and scoffed: "You answer."

He tossed the phone to his manager.

Knitting his brows, Manager Ying picked the call set it in loudspeaker: "President Feng. ...It's Manager Ying."

"Mr. Ying, I'm very sorry. The double endorsement fees previously requested were really just too outrageous. However, considering Johnny's high influence among the youngsters we decided to accept the deal. Please let us know when to expect you so that we can sign the contract."

Johnny waved his hand towards his neck: 'Cut this call.'

"Well, Johnny is busy with his shoot now. I will have to inform him about your offer once he is free. Thank you, President Feng."

Gritting his teeth, Feng Gong cut the call.

Manager Yin expressed his disappointment: "Johnny, in all honesty, have you ever considered joining Feng in the first place? If not! Why are provoking this guy with high demands?"

The man in a black suit had his lips curved up in to scoff: "How could I let a rat use my precious face. He should have some self-awareness before asking me! Johnny works for the best."

Manger Yin persisted, still not convinced of his artists' plans: "You know well enough about the information from the netizens, there is already some speculation that Xiao Entertainment is not interested in the playboy type. Don't destroy the offer from Presiden Feng, you need some type of back up plan."

"Find me the list of the top auditions that XAE's artists are entering."

Manager Yin signed he knew it useless to talk with him. "I've already signed you up to the auditions at the new collection from Galaxy, but, before that, I want you to attend a charity event."

Johnny contemplated for a moment before nodding his head while taking various selfies to post in his social account.

"I have already prepared everything…the event will be at 7 pm tomorrow night, don't miss it." 

A hint of desire and resentment flashed passed Johnny's eyes: "Let's prepare ourselves well for the Contract Signing Ceremony once I get into Princess Xiao's life. No one could resist my charm! Tsk tsk!"

Manager Yin signed:  'Seriously? This guy is daydreaming a lot.'

-----Back to Yue Wan-----

Yue Wan was stumped momentarily when she caught sight of HIM sitting on a sofa.

"You...You..!!...You!!" She gasped. 

It was HIM!

Feeling conflicted inside, she was still trying to form her words, but the man already spoke.

"Miss Wan! Hope you don't mind if I steal you for a few minutes. I know that you have lunch with your friends to get back to." His soft voice was tender and crisp. Any girl who was listening would feel her entire skies were brightened just from that voice alone.

But not Yue Wan.

Even though Xiao Hua had been rather polite with his words, Yue Wan knew that his innate personality was still cold and merciless.

When he was talking, he gradually strode forward, closing the distance between Yue Wan and himself.

Tap, tap…

Tap, tap…

Every footstep was louder than the previous one.

She could not take a step back any further, for her back was already plastered to the locked door.

Ba-dump, ba-dump!

Ba-dump, ba-dump!

Yue Wan was totally restless right now, fear started to seep into her bones. However, she did her best to mask her feelings and looked up to him with contempt.

Before he could open his mouth, Yue Wan had tried to twist the knob again to flee.

'Clang...Clang'

While her focus was on trying to get the door open, Xiao Hua had already stepped very close in front of her. His gaze was too deep, too intense. He locked her tightly against the door. There was no way of escape whatsoever.

His tall body was pressing her against the door and his legs were intertwined with hers... The position was totally awkward.
