President He shifted uncomfortably in his sofa. “What Mr. Nian is saying is…”
“If you’re seeking not to offend both parties, I’m afraid it’s not possible.” Nian Junting casually raised his eyebrows. “The Ye family may not be able to guarantee your job as President.”
“I get it.” President He’s faced turned a few shades paler. After working hard for so many years, he was not about to let his position go so easily. “If you want me to expel her, I need to have some evidence. We don’t have any right now. The way I see it, I will still have to let her go overseas to study, but maybe she can go to a different school.”
Nian Junting’s eyebrows slowly lowered.
President He quickly sat forward in his seat, lowering his voice to a whisper. “She can go to a less reputable music school. From what I know, there are many in Paris with similar names. I can send her to one of them. Even if they realize later on, I’ll just say that they had simply misunderstood from the beginning. Apparently, Ye Chuen gave up her contract with the company to study overseas. She’ll be overseas for two to three years and will miss out on the prime time for her to debut. Moreover, these lousy schools simply have nothing for her to learn.”
Luosang looked on at President He’s scheming self. She thought about how vicious men could be as well. What President He would do could just derail Ye Chuen’s music career forever.
“But if the Ye family kicks up a fuss later on, Mr. Nian, you might have to help me deal with that.” President He chuckled nervously. “The Ye family has been entrenched in the upper echelons of Zhong Zhou Group Corporation for decades now. Their clout is undeniable…”
“Don’t worry about that. Even if they remain in Zhong Zhou in the future, they will not have too much power,” Nian Junting said plainly. “No one will bat an eye at a notice of recruitment.”
President He’s eyes seemed to twinkle. “That settles it, then. As for Luosang…”
“Who said you could say her name?” Nian Junting glared at him.
President He hurriedly corrected himself, “Ms. Xu…”
Luosang was perspiring from embarrassment, but she looked at Nian Junting silently.
Nian Junting tapped his fingers on his thigh. “You tried to suspend my girlfriend, initially. If not for Ms. Feng’s intervention… Furthermore, my girlfriend was attacked during the Christmas ball. As a President, your first instinct was not to protect your student. It makes me uncomfortable.”
“Mr. Nian, that was neglectful on my part. I promise that it will never happen again,” President He hurriedly said. “In the future, I will treat Luosang like a deity in our school. Even if I am wronged, I will never let her be wronged again.”
“…That’s more like it. One more thing… Professor Ma must be treated well. She is Luoluo’s benefactor,” Nian Junting added coldly, before allowing a much-relieved President He to leave.
Luosang was touched. She was touched because not only did he try to help her, he had also tried to help Professor Ma. She thought to herself, if he wanted it again tonight, she would not reject him, even if she was exhausted.
After she finished showering, however, she realized that he was sitting at his desk, looking at his laptop in full concentration. She thought that he was working, but upon walking over, she realized that his screen was filled with pictures of the seaside.
“What are you doing? If you’re tired, you should quickly shower and go to bed,” Luosang said.
“You can go to bed first.” Nian Junting did not look up. “I’m looking at itineraries by the seaside. Didn’t you say that you wanted a romantic night? I’ll go do some research on where is best.”
