Chapter 125: Police Summon
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Seeing that Xia Wei was silent, Jian Tan did not make things difficult for her. He only teased, “1 also think that you have a bright future ahead of you. That’s why you’re so considerate of our Emperor! After all, I’m just helping you now. Even if it’s not for future benefits, it’s normal to help your friends for a short period of time, right? Actually, you don’t have to worry so much. Emperor is still very generous and democratic.”
This barbecue trip, which was done in secret, ended in silence between the two parties. In order not to cause any unnecessary commotion, Xia Wei and Jian Tan left one after another after dinner.
Looking at his boss, who had been silent ever since Xia Wei left, Wu Fan took a deep breath and asked tentatively, “Will you scare her away if you’re so direct? Will Xia Wei agree to your suggestion? How confident are you?”
Glaring at his manager, who couldn’t speak properly, Jian Tan sighed softly and replied in a low voice, “If she can be scared away by this, she won’t be Xia Wei. I don’t know, about 20%.”
“What did you say?” Wu Fan’s voice was so loud that it was scary. He seemed to be very confused. At this moment, he looked at Jian Tan as if he was looking at another person. “You’re so confident with just 20%? I saw how determined you were just now. I almost thought that you were possessed by CEO Jian! You scared me…”
Jian Tan glared at him again and muttered to himself in disappointment, “How do you think Big Brother tricked other artists into signing Emperor in the past? Why did it become so difficult when it was in my hands?”
“Who knows? I think it’s because you have ulterior motives!” Wu Fan said.
The Best Actor, who had “ulterior motives”, realized that his manager seemed to like to scold him recently. He began to consider deducting someone’s salary!
Sitting in the front pa.s.senger seat of w.a.n.g Ming’s car, Xia Wei opened the car window a little. As the cool afternoon breeze blew, she thought about Jian Tan’s suggestion at the dining table.
“Actually, Jian Tan was right just now. Emperor Entertainment is one of the best in our industry. Chen Yuan’s Starlight can’t compare to it at all. If we can put our studio under it, well be taking advantage of it! This is a good thing. What are you worried about?”
Knowing that Xia Wei was thinking about what happened just now, w.a.n.g Ming held the steering wheel and said without looking back.
Xia Wei sighed softly and replied, “1 know this is a good thing, but how can there be a free lunch’ in this world? I’m worried…”
“Do you think that Jian Tan is not worthy of our trust?” w.a.n.g Ming asked curiously.
“Of course not,” Xia Wei retorted hurriedly. She frowned and her mind was a little messy. She continued, “Jian Tan is not that kind of person. 1 don’t have anything worth being deceived by him. I just feel that this seems to be a very important matter. 1 have to consider it carefully!”
After all, “Xia Wei” in her previous life had never interacted with this G.o.d-like Best Actor, let alone work in his company.
Wouldn’t Jian Tan become her boss then? This felt a little strange!
Hearing Xia Wei’s words, w.a.n.g Ming felt that it made sense for her to be more cautious, so he did not say anything else. He thought that Xia Wei was as smart as a fox anyway, so he did not have to worry!
He raised his hand and picked up the call from the Bluetooth earpiece. “What did you say? A few police officers came to the company and asked Xia Wei to go to Starlight now? What police? Why do they want Xia Wei to go to Starlight? We don’t have anything to do with that company anymore. Why do we have to go there when something happens?!”
w.a.n.g Ming’s last sentence was actually directed at Xia Wei.
He deftly turned back the steering wheel and drove straight towards Starlight.
Although he and Xia Wei had always been law-abiding, he could not help but feel a little depressed and fl.u.s.tered when he was suddenly “summoned” by the police.
Xia Wei glanced at w.a.n.g Ming and comforted him calmly. “Don’t let your imagination run wild. We didn’t commit any murder or arson. We’re just going to meet a few police officers. What’s there to panic about?”
“Of course I know these principles, but Starlight is Chen Yuan’s territory after all. I’m worried that he wants to mess with you again.. After all, we’ve seen this person’s pettyness and grudges many times before!”
