Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Screwed over so badly, not even underwear is left!

Leng Yan immediately jumped up like a pig that had been poked in the butt.
“You cursing won’t do a thing. If Hongtu goes bankrupt, you’ll just have to attend the goddess’ wedding.”
“Motherfucker! I’m going all in against you. It’s just a matter of Xia Weibao, not some kind of natural disaster or wild beast!
I refuse to believe we can’t make her a star!”
“That’s the spirit I want to see,” Director Xu said, comforted at having fooled him into agreement.
“But all the contestants in ‘Dance into the Future’ finale were promoted from the preliminary rounds, it’s basically impossible to get Xia Weibao in now.”
Leng Yan was troubled.
“I already thought of that; we can have her drop in as a challenge entrant in the finale.”
Leng Yan’s eyes lit up, and he slapped his forehead.
Exactly, why didn’t he think of that!
Many shows, to add interest, have a challenge segment.
They invite skilled individuals to join in the middle of the show to challenge the contestants.
If the challenger wins, they replace the original contestant and continue in the competition.
This not only increases the tension for the contestants but also makes the show more interesting.
“No way, the challenge entrant has to be skilled, and Xia Weibao can’t dance at all.
Plus, ‘Dance into the Future’ doesn’t have a challenge segment.”
Xia Weibao started as a singer and then turned to acting; she never danced before.
When it came to dancing, Xu Jiayang recalled Xia Weibao’s dancing, and he was still somewhat astonished.
“Leng Yan, Xia Weibao has hidden her light under a bushel. She not only can dance but she dances exceptionally well.
What she lacks now is just an opportunity, a chance to showcase herself.
Haven’t you noticed that although she’s been hanging on the headlines every day, she hasn’t actually appeared in front of the public at all.
The audience simply doesn’t understand what she’s like after three years.”
He believed that as long as she was given the opportunity, she would prove herself and soar high!
“But, there was no challenge segment in ‘Dance into the Future’ to begin with, and with Lin Mier, the classical dance goddess, being the odds-on favorite to win the championship, can Xia Weibao really compete with her?”
Lin Mier and Xia Weibao?
He didn’t want to talk anymore, they’d see when the time came.
“With money, you can make the devil turn the millstone…”
“We don’t have money,” Leng Yan spread his hands. “Hongtu’s mortgaged money was all invested in the production of ‘Allure,’ we don’t have extra to bribe the producers.”
Xu Jiayang fell silent for a moment, “Sell your car then.”
“What?!!!” Leng Yan jumped again. “Xu Jiayang, are you even human? You screwed over my company, and now you want to screw me out of my car too!!!”
“It’s all temporary. Once Xia Weibao becomes famous, you’ll make it all back.
You’ve already invested so much in Xia Weibao, you’re only one step away. Sell the car, and wealth and glory are at your fingertips.
If not, you’ll end up with nothing. You decide yourself.”
That made sense, and he found himself without a comeback.
But somehow, it didn’t feel right; this buddy of his always loved to set traps, he had to be more cautious this time.
Just as he was about to say he’d think it over, the doorbell rang.
Leng Yan quickly responded with wit, “I have guests, let’s talk tomorrow.”
Then he hung up and went to open the door, taking a breath of relief.
Xu Jiayang stood at the door with a middle-aged man.
“I brought someone to see the car, he’s seen your car before and likes it a lot.”
