It was clear that these bodyguards were accustomed to snatching things.
Put nicely, they were Shangguan Fu's security personnel, but more bluntly, they were the vicious hounds Tianyu Company had assigned to Shangguan Fu, always resorting to force when faced with issues.
Song Yun wasn't panic-stricken at that moment. He made a defensive gesture against the bodyguard who was trying to snatch his phone. The bodyguard smirked viciously, having long been irritated by Song Yun. So handsome, what for!
Entertaining the thought that someone would clean up after trashing Song Yun, the bodyguard's hand morphed into a claw, as if ready to twist his arm off as soon as he got ahold of it.
Their hands met, and Song Yun's movements instantly created an illusion, locking onto the other's wrist.
"Snap!"
After a crisp sound, the bodyguard was squatting on the ground in agony, howling in pain.
No one expected that Song Yun's combat ability was so formidable.
The two standing behind him quickly recovered and aimed their fists at Song Yun's temples.
However, they soon felt pain in their abdomens. Looking down, they saw Song Yun's elbow striking hard against their lower bellies, the force spreading throughout their bodies, the level of pain not inferior to that of childbirth.
The tables turned. Shangguan Fu's assistant stood agape, secretly relieved that he hadn't rashly intervened. He wouldn't dare claim he was physically stronger than those bodyguards if he had provoked this madman.
"Look how uneven the levels of artists are nowadays, all kinds of monsters and demons are present."
Ye Qingqing stood up and looked down at Shangguan Fu, who could score over 80 points after putting on makeup. Adding her scheming charm, she was still capable of eliciting protective desires in men.
But what this woman didn't realize was that the woman before her outclassed her by hundreds of times in terms of looks, physique, and family background.
And this man was not the kind of young chap who was smitten at the sight of women.
"Which entertainment company are you from? I might even know your boss!"
Ye Qingqing exhibited her formidable woman persona, instantly subduing Shangguan Fu to the point of speechlessness. Right then, Shangguan Fu felt she wasn't facing a beautiful woman but a CEO within the company who could decide her fate at a glance.
"I...I'm from Tianyu..."
Meanwhile, in the hotpot restaurant.
The three injured bodyguards had been assisted outside by the manager, waiting for the ambulance to arrive. He, too, harbored thoughts of escape, considering that the man and woman did not seem like ordinary people—if truly provoked, his little shrimp of a self wouldn't be enough to fill their gaps between their teeth.
Only Shangguan Fu was left at the scene. She stood there, her head bowed, pupils brimming with panic.
It's over, it's all over. It looks like that guy really knows the senior executives of her company! Could she be fired for this?
At the thought, Shangguan Fu agonized over why she had to provoke the other party. Her current status might only be a third-tier artist, but with the company's push, she had become one of the four new "little flowers" of her generation, and given time she was sure to become a top-tier headliner. But now, she had snuffed out that wonderful future with her own hands.
Song Yun's phone pinged with a notification. He opened his email and took a look, noting that this woman's annual salary was quite high, 30 million a year without including the shares from dramas and advertisements. He roughly estimated that Shangguan Fu made at least 60 million a year!
Song Yun shook his head and took out his phone to call Lu Guan back, "This Shangguan Fu has a seven-year contract with Tianyu, right? Let this young lady take a break for these seven years."
Upon hearing this, Lu Guan on the other end of the line realized what Mr. Song meant by "take a break." It was actually being put on ice. So, Shangguan Fu had offended Mr. Song!
Right at that moment, Director Ma pushed the door open. Seeing Lu Guan on the phone, he didn't interrupt but placed a selection of cast for the latest film on Lu Guan's desk.
Lu Guan casually flipped through it and saw Shangguan Fu's name as the second female lead.
"Mr. Song, Shangguan Fu is the second female lead in the latest film our company is shooting... Perhaps she should contribute one last time to the company, and then..."
Song Yun let out a cold laugh upon hearing this.
Lu Guan waited for Song Yun's response, but the other party was silent.
He understood; Mr. Song wasn't seeking his opinion, he was issuing a command.
Lu Guan hastily said, "I'll do as you wish, Mr. Song. I'll immediately halt all of Shangguan Fu's commercial activities!"
"Remember, there are many CEOs in this world. Tianyu can operate without you, I believe."
The unemotional words from Song Yun sent a chill down Lu Guan's back. That's right, he was just a worker. Why go against the big shot? He was truly a fool!
He quickly made his stance clear to Song Yun, fearing offending this major shareholder he had never even met!
