In the end, of course, Little second and Little sixth were made to run around the city all night. As far as punishments from the base organization went, this was already considered very light.
Qin Miaomiao felt especially apologetic toward them and prepared milk for them early in the morning.
After running all night, even iron bodies would falter. The two of them had trembling legs.
She said it was her poor decision that nearly got her into trouble and implicated them as well.
Little sixth squinted and smiled. His smile... had a way of making people feel like running for their lives. The reputation of the Smiling Killing Buddha was undoubtedly well-deserved.
"Young Madam, you have nothing to apologize for. It’s us who didn’t think thoroughly enough. People truly shouldn’t be far from you."
Though he said this, she still felt guilty in her heart and wanted to personally cook to make it up to the two of them. However, she almost burned down the house and had to give up on the idea.
By the time she received Jiaojiao’s call, it was already the afternoon. On the other end of the phone came her excited voice:
"Miao Miao, I terminated my contract! That Su Jin got scared and obediently agreed to cancel it. But the edited first part of the video fell into her hands. I think it’s been destroyed. She even threatened me, saying that if I dared to let it spread, she wouldn’t let me off the hook."
"It’s good that you terminated the contract. As for her threats, don’t let them bother you."
"What about the second part of the video? Once it’s released, Yao Guang Entertainment will definitely be ruined, and so will Su Jin!"
Qin Miaomiao fell into deep thought. Her target was Su Moli, yet Su Moli was using Su Jin’s face. Once that second part of the video spread, it would damage Su Jin’s reputation. This truly was a tricky predicament.
"Don’t worry about this. I’ll take care of it. As for your signing with my company, I’ll arrange for a manager to contact you. I’ll also assemble a team for you. Jiaojiao, I’ll make sure you become a big star."
Xu Jiaojiao laughed, "I’m not really concerned about becoming a big star or not. Just being away from that filthy place makes everything worth it. By the way, what’s going on between you and Lu Qing? Is he treating you well?"
Qin Miaomiao nodded firmly.
"Don’t lie to me. If he ever dares to treat you poorly, just tell me. I’ll back you up."
"Alright, alright, I’ll listen to you."
After hanging up, Qin Miaomiao furrowed her brows even tighter. Since she couldn’t risk acting directly against Su Moli, who was operating under Su Jin’s name, she would need... another way to deal with her.
"Hey, Li Li, how’s the progress with acquiring shares of Su Group?"
"Everything’s going smoothly."
"Good, then proceed as planned."
Li Li gripped his phone tightly, his expression briefly dazed as he thought about the woman with eyes so similar to Su Jin’s.
"I’ve had people keeping tabs on Su Moli’s movements. She’s been closely associating with some unscrupulous businessmen."
A glimmer of coldness flickered in Li Li’s eyes as he said in a faint voice:
"That face... seeing it on her makes me deeply uncomfortable. She doesn’t deserve that face."
Qin Miaomiao spoke, "Do you want to destroy that face too?"
Listening to the voice on the other end of the call, Li Li felt a strange sense of talking directly to Su Jin. He responded with a quiet "Hm."
"Alright, I’ll make the arrangements."
After saying that, she hung up. Li Li held his phone and looked at a photo of himself with Su Jin. His fingers traced the screen tenderly, and he murmured softly:
"No, I want to preserve that face completely."
Only after truly losing someone does the longing grow stronger. Su Jin had become his obsession.
