Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 422: Leng Ziqing Takes Action

"What did Wan Tianning want with you?"

After Wan Tianning left, Zhan Hanjue came downstairs.

Ye Ningwan laughed, "You weren’t watching from the window the whole time, waiting for her to leave so you could run down and ask me, were you?"

"Yes, that’s exactly what I did," Zhan Hanjue admitted candidly.

Ye Ningwan didn’t expect him to admit it so readily and had to say, "Actually, she wasn’t looking for me, she was hoping to find you. She just wanted me to act as a middleman to pass a message to you."

Zhan Hanjue raised an eyebrow.

Ye Ningwan told him about Wan Tianning’s intentions.

Zhan Hanjue chuckled, "She indeed knows how to seize an opportunity. Our company is looking for a new ambassador for the next quarter. However, female stars who become ambassadors for Zhan Group generally have a certain status. For example, in previous years, there were Chen Baoer, Li Qing... Yan Ruyu, Qi... Anyway, you don’t know them. Based on Wan Tianning’s current status, she certainly doesn’t meet our company’s requirements for an ambassador. But she seems eager to take this role to gain some awards by the end of the year and boost her profile."

"I don’t fully understand, but I get the gist. So, there’s no room for negotiation on her becoming an ambassador?" Ye Ningwan asked.

Zhan Hanjue asked, "She dared to make this request, not because of your sisterly bond. What exchange condition did she offer?"

"You guessed it," Ye Ningwan smiled and linked her arm with his, revealing Wan Tianning’s exchange terms to him.

Zhan Hanjue pondered for a moment and nodded, "Hmm, we can make a deal."

Ye Ningwan raised her eyebrows, surprised, "Didn’t you just say her status wasn’t enough? How can this be a deal now?"

Zhan Hanjue said, "Her status is indeed lacking, but it’s not too bad. She is considered a candidate for the second tier. However, who can help a brother-in-law like she can? That alone sets her ahead of many. Besides, she’s your sister. Just for her face, I feel she can boost her profile a little. It’s not a big deal for me to lend a helping hand."

"But won’t it affect your company’s operations?" Ye Ningwan was worried about this.

Zhan Hanjue said, "The success of a product’s sales depends more on the product itself. The ambassador is just the icing on the cake, not a lifesaver. So, as long as the product quality is solid, it doesn’t matter much who endorses it."

"That’s good, as long as it doesn’t affect the company’s operations. It’s up to you to decide on this. If you think she can be used, then use her. Although I don’t support Ye Shao entering the entertainment industry, if he’s determined to go in, I can only help him as much as possible where I can," Ye Ningwan said.

"I’ll have Chen Tan negotiate with her on this," Zhan Hanjue assured her.

Ye Ningwan nodded.

However, just after finishing this conversation, Wu Taotao called, crying, "Ningning, what should I do? The video of Ye Shao hitting Leng Ziqing last time was taken by Leng Ziqing. He... he says... he wants to make it public so Ye Shao won’t be able to start his career with a sullied reputation."

Ye Ningwan raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhan Hanjue.

Zhan Hanjue frowned too, not expecting Leng Ziqing to act so quickly.

"Taotao, don’t worry. I’ll come to find you," Ye Ningwan comforted her.

"Okay, I’ll wait for you," Wu Taotao agreed.

After hanging up, Ye Ningwan said to Zhan Hanjue, "This must be Leng Ziqing’s unwillingness to let it go! I didn’t expect him to use such childish tactics."

"But it’s very effective, isn’t it?" Zhan Hanjue said.

Ye Ningwan frowned.

It was indeed very effective.

If Ye Shao hadn’t entered the entertainment industry, this incident wouldn’t pose much threat to him. It might stir some waves online, but soon it would be overshadowed by other news.

But now, Ye Shao had stepped into the entertainment industry, though he hadn’t officially debuted yet.

But eventually, he would debut someday. If a scandal of violence breaks out now, it essentially blocks his path to debut. The company wouldn’t let a tainted artist debut, after all, the internet has a memory, and if he gains any fame, this issue will resurface and haunt him.

One must admit, Leng Ziqing chose a very opportune time.

"I’ll go find Taotao, and you find Leng Ziqing to see what exactly he wants," Ye Ningwan said.

Zhan Hanjue replied, "Forget it, there’s no use in me looking for him. He had already said before that he wants to reclaim everything he lost. Even if I find him, he won’t let it go easily."

"Are we just going to let him do this?" Ye Ningwan fumed.

Zhan Hanjue said, "I will help with what I can. But in this matter, I’m powerless."

Not to mention the many cooperative relationships between the Zhan Group and the Leng Group, just for the sake of the family ties between the two, he couldn’t do anything against Leng Ziqing.

Forcing it won’t work, and there’s no room for negotiation either.

After all, he couldn’t possibly beg him for Ye Shao’s sake.

Persuasion wouldn’t work either, so it’s a dead end, and going there would be pointless.

"Alright, I’ll figure this out myself," Ye Ningwan said, seeing how he didn’t want to make things difficult for him.

She went upstairs to change her clothes and then went to find Wu Taotao.

But Wu Taotao’s studio was also busy, so Ye Ningwan went directly to her studio to find her.

This was Ye Ningwan’s first time coming to Wu Taotao’s studio, standing outside the door watching Wu Taotao quietly painting inside.

The lively and cute little girl in memory had become mature and graceful, exuding a charming aura when quietly painting.

She couldn’t help but show a smile of relief.

She still remembered, in the village, she and Wu Taotao had made promises to each other.

She said she wanted to become a famous traditional Chinese medicine doctor and open a Chinese medicine clinic.

Wu Taotao said she wanted to become a painter, a very famous one, and open an art studio.

Time had passed, and now, they had both achieved their dreams.

"Mrs. Wu, there’s someone at the door watching you. Are they here to see you?"

A staff member in Wu Taotao’s studio walked up to Wu Taotao and softly reminded her.

Wu Taotao put down her brush, turned her head, and saw Ye Ningwan, quickly standing up with joy, "Ningning, why didn’t you say anything when you got here? I didn’t know you were here."

Ye Ningwan smiled, "Seeing how focused you were on your painting, I didn’t have the heart to disturb you."

"Come on, tell me, how is it?" Wu Taotao asked with a smile.

Ye Ningwan carefully observed it and nodded in praise, "Hmm, it’s very well done, getting better and better." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"Oh, what a perfunctory compliment, but I still love to hear it," Wu Taotao giggled happily.

"Let’s find a place to chat!" Ye Ningwan suggested.

Wu Taotao nodded, took off her clothes, and took Ye Ningwan to the lounge in her studio.

She had the assistant bring up two cups of coffee.

Suddenly remembering that Ye Ningwan doesn’t drink coffee, she told the assistant, "Brew a cup of tea, make it black tea."

The assistant nodded.

The studio had several tea flavors stored for entertaining guests.

But generally, rarely did anyone who came to the studio like to drink tea, so her tea-brewing skills weren’t very refined.

Ye Ningwan smelled it, then put it down.

"Just get me a cup of plain water."

"Sure."

The assistant quickly poured a cup of plain water again.
