Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 563: The CEO’s Desperate Pursuit in the Flames of Regret
Lan handed the investigation over to the agent, but after a long time, they still couldn’t figure out the reason.
Wan Tianning, the new investor, was unheard of, and he was only investing money, completely uninvolved with the project.
He even stated that absolute decision-making power was given to Director Li Zhuo.
Because Director Li Zhuo appreciated Wan Tianning’s acting skills more, that’s why Wan Tianning was chosen, and the whole thing had nothing to do with Xie Mingyu.
Lan told Wan Tianning the result of the investigation, and although Wan Tianning found it strange.
As long as it had nothing to do with Xie Mingyu, she was at ease.
"As long as it has nothing to do with Xie Mingyu, there’s no big problem. Let Dawei talk to them. If it’s settled, I’ll take this role," Wan Tianning said.
Lan said, "Dawei said, the pay for this role probably won’t be very high."
"Ridiculously foolish, for Director Li Zhuo’s film, even if the pay isn’t high, I’d still be willing to invest my own money."
"Yes, yes, as long as this film becomes a hit, Miss Wan can successfully transition, and staying popular for another ten years won’t be a problem," Lan flattered with a smile.
However, Wan Tianning said with a long gaze, "It’s impossible to stay popular for another ten years. I know how short the career span of a female star is. It’s also impossible for me to play roles like someone’s mother or grandmother. So, in a few years, when I can’t play the roles of young girls anymore, I’ll retire from the entertainment industry."
"But retiring from the entertainment industry isn’t necessary, right? Look at Pan Hong, how old is she, yet she still plays young girls?" Lan said.
Wan Tianning snickered, "That’s why she gets criticized. I don’t want to be pointed at either; I’ll withdraw during my prime. Others will remember the best time of me, and that’s what I want."
"Then what will you do after leaving the entertainment industry?" Lan said mournfully.
"I’ll inherit the family business!" Wan Tianning said, "You forgot, there’s still a Wan Group waiting for me to inherit. Although Wan Tianci has more shares, he’s still young, so I’ll definitely inherit it first before it gets passed to him."
Lan: "..."
She really was worrying needlessly.
She thought Miss Wan would lose her source of income upon leaving the entertainment industry, forgetting she was a rich second-generation.
"Miss Wan, the marriage announcement with President Xie has been fully clarified, but there’s no response from the Xie Family. Do you want to call President Xie again and say something? Perhaps they’re not checking Weibo?" Lan reminded again.
Wan Tianning frowned.
What is that Xie Mingyu doing?
He didn’t even make a peep when I explained unilaterally that we had no intention of getting engaged.
What on earth did Shangxue do to him the last time? Has he become so dispirited to such a degree?
"I’m not calling him. What if he really forgot about me, and I remind him by calling?" The last time, Lin Yue was getting married, and I didn’t want to seem like I wasn’t wanted, so I agreed to cooperate with him and publicly announce a marriage. Now that Lin Yue isn’t marrying anyone, I don’t want to get involved with him," Wan Tianning refused outright.
Lan thought the same.
There was no movement from Xie Mingyu’s side, so calling proactively would be redundant on their side.
"Where’s Lin Yue?" Wan Tianning suddenly recalled, asking urgently.
Lan said, "He went out, saying he had something to do. I don’t know where he went."
Wan Tianning frowned, "What’s he sneaking off to do alone? Let’s hurry out to find him, don’t let him be bullied."
Lan thought to herself, President Lin isn’t made of paper, how could he be bullied?
But seeing her suddenly so concerned about President Lin, Lan also wanted them to reconcile soon, so she took her out looking for him.
They quickly found him.
However, Lin Yue was with Wen Qi. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
Wan Tianning walked over, and Wen Qi quickly stood up from his seat, surprised, and asked, "Miss Wan, why are you here?"
"I should be asking you, why are you here? Lin Yue, aren’t you bankrupt? Why are you still meeting with Wen Qi?"
Lin Yue stood calmly and explained to Wan Tianning, "Here’s the situation: although I’m bankrupt, I haven’t paid Wen Qi his shares and salary. Today, we met because Wen Qi came for his money."
Wen Qi was momentarily taken aback but quickly nodded, "Yes, I came to ask Lin for my payment. No, I mean Lin Yue. After calling him ’President Lin’ for so many years, I can finally call him by his name."
"Wen Qi, you’ve disappointed me too much," Wan Tianning said angrily, pointing at Wen Qi’s face, "You’ve been with Lin Yue for many years, right? Even when he’s down, the first to push him over is you? He’s fallen on hard times, and you come asking for your money, truly shameless."
"Yes, extremely shameless, without any sense of gratitude," Lan echoed in scolding.
"Me?"
Wen Qi pointed at his own face, feeling wronged, wanting to explain to them.
"Ahem."
Suddenly, Lin Yue coughed twice.
Wan Tianning immediately asked with concern, "What’s wrong? Are you catching a cold?"
Lin Yue shook his head with a smile, "Nothing, maybe a bit chilly."
Wan Tianning turned back to scold Wen Qi again, "Even when Lin Yue is catching a cold, you still come asking for money, shameless. How much, tell me, I’ll pay you."
Wen Qi looked again at Lin Yue.
Lin Yue gave him a look, and Wen Qi sighed, "Not much, just 500,000."
"Tch, asking like it’s life or death for 500,000. Lan, transfer the money to him. Don’t let me see you again, or I’ll hit you every time I see you," Wan Tianning warned sternly.
Wen Qi hurriedly nodded and promised her, "I won’t come for money again."
At this moment, Wan Tianning’s phone rang, it was Director Li Zhuo calling.
"Okay, I understand, I’ll head over now."
After the call, Wan Tianning said to Lin Yue, "I have something else to attend to, so I’ll leave first, are you coming with us?"
"You and Lan go ahead. I brought my own car, I can’t leave with you."
"Lan, let’s go. Take care of yourself, and tell me how much you really owe. I can’t keep covering everything at a loss. Give me a lump sum estimate," Wan Tianning said.
Lin Yue replied, "Wen Qi was the last one, I promise there are no more. Rest assured, I’ll work off what I owe you, this lifetime I’ll work for you."
Wan Tianning smirked and left with Lan.
Lan rolled her eyes at Wen Qi as she left.
Wen Qi: "..."
"President Lin, how much longer do you plan on keeping this from Miss Wan? If she finds out, she’ll probably be even angrier," Wen Qi said.
Lin Yue smiled and said, "By then, she won’t be mad at me. Anyway, just cooperate with me for now. Everything’s going well, don’t mess it up for me."
"I understand, so how should I report work to you in the future?"
"Call or video, reduce face-to-face meetings. If necessary, say you can’t find a job and want to work as her assistant."
"Ah?" Wen Qi was surprised.
Lin Yue said, "Don’t worry, she won’t hire you, she’ll probably have Lan beat you up and kick you out."
Wen Qi sighed.
He thought, you already know she won’t hire me, and still want me to do this?
Indeed, once a man falls in love, he’ll stop at nothing.
He’d love to use everyone as his tools.
