Waking up from her nap, Xiao Qing received a call from Chestnut, saying that she was now designated as the female lead for the play she was previously prepared to breach her contract over.
"What’s going on?" Xiao Qing asked.
Chestnut couldn’t explain clearly on the other end of the phone, "An emergency meeting was suddenly called by the higher-ups this morning, and afterwards, I was notified."
"That’s strange, isn’t it?"
"Yeah. This is great, Sister Qing. I have always felt that you are the most suitable for the female lead of this play. It seems that some people in New City are not blind after all."
"Hehe~ Chestnut, keep an eye on the situation over there, and inform me of any news as soon as possible." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ ⓝovelFire.net
After hanging up, Xiao Qing fell into deep thought.
She was rather unfamiliar with the senior staff of New City Entertainment, but she had reached out to Xiao Anze, saying to inform her immediately if there were any changes. However, she did not receive any notification from Xiao Anze today.
Xiao Qing and Chestnut were unaware that the conference room of New City Entertainment was so tense that no one dared to breathe too loudly at the moment.
The notification Chestnut received was from a phone call by Peng Yi.
In the conference room, Xiao Anze had an unpleasant look, with exhaustion evident between his brows.
After receiving a call early in the morning at Xiao Qing’s home, he rushed over for an emergency meeting, which had continued up to now without adjournment, and even lunch was settled in the conference room.
"President, I have a suggestion."
After an unknown period of time, someone finally broke the silence.
Xiao Anze’s face was tight with tension, "Speak."
"It’s ; I feel that the other party is coming on strong. Could it be that someone here has offended a major power?"
Xiao Anze did not speak.
The manager’s words did remind him, though.
The other party came on strong and concealed their identity, clearly indicating an abrupt decision.
New City Entertainment is no match for Emperor Entertainment, which is already a giant within the domestic industry. Therefore, it can be deduced that the other party’s identity and assets far surpass those of New City Entertainment.
No matter who it was, Xiao Anze had now clashed with them. If it weren’t for him, he would not have had to make such a public appearance, leading to many people now knowing that the president of New City Entertainment and the president of Emperor Entertainment are the same person.
At the same time, in Jinxiu Garden.
Peng Yi ran over in a fluster and said to Lu Jinyang: "Boss, the president of New City Entertainment is Xiao Anze!"
"Yes! On the surface, Si Nanchen is the president, but Si Nanchen does not have the final say in major matters. Also, the president of Emperor Entertainment is also Xiao Anze."
Lu Jinyang appeared unflustered on the surface, but inwardly he was puzzled.
Was his speculation today wrong?
Xiao Anze and Xiao Qing share the same surname; at first, he thought they had a sibling relationship, although this has yet to be verified.
But if what Peng Yi told him is true, then why didn’t Xiao Anze speak up when Xiao Qing was being forced to breach her contract by Si Nanchen?
With these thoughts, Lu Jinyang felt a headache coming on.
What on earth is this Xiao Anze up to!
"Continue with the acquisition. Regardless of the cost, we must take over New City Entertainment, or else you don’t need to stay by my side." Since Xiao Anze cannot ensure that Xiao Qing is unharmed, then he will take over and protect her himself.
Peng Yi’s mouth dropped open in shock.
His boss had never spoken to him so severely before, and now he was actually saying these things to him for a woman, making Peng Yi feel extremely frustrated all of a sudden.
It seems he had misread the situation; his boss inherently harbored the potential of a foolish ruler.
"What has Lu Xiao been up to recently?" Lu Jinyang suddenly remembered that he hadn’t heard from Lu Xiao in a long time.
