But that Mr. Gu...
Thinking of Mr. Gu mocking her for looking old and saying she and Xia Qingtian were "friends of different generations," Mo Jianing felt indignant. m..oΓg
Could any man who fawned over that slut Xia Qingtian be a good man?
What right did he have to compare with Song Junhan!
With this thought, Mo Jianing found Song Junhan more and more handsome and dashing.
At this moment, the secretary who had accompanied Song Junhan into the office walked back. Mo Jianing immediately stepped forward and asked, "Secretary Shen, who is that President Song?"
"You're an artist under Wanying Entertainment. You should at least recognize your own boss!" Secretary Shen said with a smile upon hearing her.
"Bo- Boss!" Mo Jianing was startled.
"Yes, he's the President Song who acquired Wanqing Entertainment and renamed it Wanying Entertainment," Secretary Shen replied.
"He actually is..." Mo Jianing blinked, appearing disbelieving.
As expected of the man she fancied!
How outstanding he was!
Indeed, unlike those pretty boys in the entertainment industry who looked good but were useless, this President Song was the real elite.
Seeing Mo Jianing seem completely smitten, Secretary Shen wanted to remind her that Song Junhan was engaged, but she swallowed the words back.
What business was it of hers? She was too lazy to gossip.
Besides, this Mo Jianing wasn't a good person either.
Why should she spoil the fun by being a killjoy?
Thus, Secretary Shen made an excuse about having work to do and walked away with pursed lips, leaving Mo Jianing to her infatuation.
Meanwhile, Song Junhan, unaware that Mo Jianing had taken a liking to him, was discussing the current talent show with Yu Linwan.
"Overall, it's quite successful," Song Junhan was satisfied with the current online buzz. "It seems President Yu's decision to recruit Xia Qingtian was a wise one. Just one trending topic has boosted the show's popularity."
Although Yu Linwan was unwilling, she had to admit Xia Qingtian's knack for trending topics.
What others spent a fortune and racked their brains to achieve, Xia Qingtian seemed to acquire with a mere flick of her finger.
It made people envious and resentful.
"I've scheduled a meeting with Xia Qingtian tonight to discuss cooperation," Yu Linwan replied. "Does President Song have any interest in joining?"
Yu Linwan's question was merely a polite formality. What she intended to discuss with Xia Qingtian tonight was not suitable for Song Junhan to hear.
Simultaneously, she was testing Song Junhan's attitude, seeing if he was someone willing to delegate power.
Song Junhan naturally wanted to go, but he also knew that his grudges with Xia Qingtian weren't recent.
If he truly attended, there would be no room for negotiation, and the matter would likely fall through.
So Song Junhan smiled and shook his head, saying, "I have full confidence in President Yu's handling of affairs."
Hearing Song Junhan say this, Yu Linwan finally chuckled softly and replied, "Then I'll ask President Song to await good news."
Afterward, they discussed some work matters, and Yu Linwan then escorted Song Junhan out of the office.
Watching Song Junhan's retreating back, Yu Linwan's gaze deepened.
If Song Junhan was unwilling to delegate power, he would probably just be a difficult partner.
But Song Junhan's easy relinquishing of power made Yu Linwan even more worried that he might be an uncontrollable, fatal factor.
Having experienced the incident with Gu Yaoqing, Yu Linwan placed great importance on security.
She felt uncomfortable with people and things that couldn't provide her with a sense of security.
At this moment, Secretary Shen approached Yu Linwan and described Mo Jianing's actions and expressions in detail.
"Really?" Yu Linwan's eyes lit up.
"Yes," Secretary Shen nodded in reply.
"Very good." Hearing Secretary Shen's answer, Yu Linwan's lips curved upwards, finally showing a relieved smile.
It seemed that the previously uncontrollable situation had now become manageable.
Since the young master had reminded her to pay more attention to Mo Jianing, she would naturally lend a helping hand in secret to the man Mo Jianing desired.
However, due to the young master's presence, this help needed to be carefully calibrated.
It was best to be subtle and imperceptible.
With a glint in her eye, Yu Linwan turned and walked back to her office with a hum.
As long as she handled Xia Qingtian tonight, everything would be within her grasp.
Yes, everything was within her grasp.
Everything...
Yu Linwan's expression grew increasingly grim, and she kept checking her wristwatch.
She had arranged to meet Xia Qingtian at nine o'clock, but it was already almost midnight. Where was Xia Qingtian?!
Yu Linwan, having waited until half-past midnight, finally walked out of Rosa Pub with a dark expression and a huff.
She had called Xia Qingtian several times, but her phone was switched off!
Was that bitch deliberately playing with her?
How dare she!
Enraged, Yu Linwan sped through the night. At a turn, she accidentally collided with a pedestrian. By then, Xia Qingtian had already finished her face mask and was happily drifting off to sleep.
Yu Linwan was terrified. After slamming on the brakes, she immediately got out to check on the injured person.
Seeing that the person was a burly man nearly 1.9 meters tall, Yu Linwan trembled even more. Confirming that he was still breathing, Yu Linwan immediately called for an ambulance.
After a whole night at the hospital, it was hard to say whether the man had a robust physique or was just lucky. He had managed to avoid vital injuries, only sustaining a fractured leg bone, a mild concussion, and some superficial abrasions.
Having not slept all night, Yu Linwan paid all the medical expenses while also finding someone to suppress the incident.
With the talent show about to officially begin, she absolutely couldn't afford any negative news.
Yu Linwan glanced at the man still unconscious on the hospital bed, feeling a pang of unease.
If Xia Qingtian hadn't stood her up, she wouldn't have been so angry as to speed at night, let alone hit someone.
It was all Xia Qingtian's fault!
Damn it!
In her rage, Yu Linwan didn't notice the man on the hospital bed's lips move slightly, murmuring in a weak voice, "My lord... My lord..."
Soon, affected by the medication, he sank into a deeper nightmare.
The next morning, Xia Qingtian went to class at Z University. At the school entrance, she spotted Yu Linwan with a sullen expression.
Having not slept all night and spent so long anxiously at the hospital, Yu Linwan now felt like killing Xia Qingtian.
"Is this person like a stubborn stain? Can't get rid of her..." Xia Qingtian tutted, contemplating whether to use a different entrance to the school when she saw Yu Linwan had already noticed her.
"Xia Qingtian..." Yu Linwan gritted her teeth and strode towards Xia Qingtian. "Where were you last night! Why didn't you come to Rosa Pub?"
"Where? Rosa Pub? What kind of place is that?" Xia Qingtian blinked, feigning ignorance.
Yu Linwan's stomach churned with anger.
