Chapter 114: 114 sacrificing me is inevitable
In the evening, Tang Ze made a special trip to the set because he was afraid that things wouldn’t be clear over the phone, and he couldn’t see Shi Lan’s expression. After all, it was the company that had decided to sell out An Lan for profit, but for some reason, Tang Ze felt guilty. If it had been the old An Lan, who had drifted through life carelessly, no one would have cared about her feelings, but now Shi Lan, the big shot, knew every unfair contract the company had, every trap they had set up. Tang Ze felt it was necessary to communicate properly with Shi Lan.
However, when Tang Ze told Shi Lan about the company’s arrangements, she didn’t react much at all.
“Neither side’s teams are fools. Instead of spending a fortune to smooth things over with the Alliance’s thirteen families, it’s easier to deal with just me. Isn’t it clear which is more important, if you use your brain?” Shi Lan, while removing her makeup, also hummed lightly, “Sacrificing me is inevitable.”
With his hands on his hips, Tang Ze admired Shi Lan’s back.
Because things had come to this point, they were still within the big shot’s control.
“So… are you planning to apologize?”
“Can I even refuse?” Shi Lan asked Tang Ze in return.
“It depends on whether or not you want to.”
“I’m just an eighteenth-tier actor with massive debts. Do I have room to refuse?” Shi Lan, after removing her makeup, wiped her face with a towel, “Since the company has taken the money, they didn’t plan to care about my opinion. Just do as the company instructs.”
The more Shi Lan spoke , the more unsure Tang Ze felt, and he was also anxious.
The big shot, apologize sincerely? As if! And to those idiots? Apologize to a pair of murderers? Can they even bear it?
“So… I’ve really agreed? To reply to both the company and the teams?” Tang Ze pointed at Shi Lan’s room door and said.
“Yeah, go.” Shi Lan nodded, still completely composed.
“How about this, big shot, you tell me what you’re thinking so I can have some idea. If you pull off something big, I might be scared to death,” Tang Ze scratched his head, a bit anxious.
“Did the teams give money to the company, and did the company count me in? Since the company has no shame, why should I have any? I can go on stage, I’m not without a gift prepared. As for apologizing, it’s out of the question, got it?” Shi Lan asked Tang Ze casually.
“What if both teams cause trouble for the company?”
“In short, just do as the company has planned, you don’t know anything else, it’s none of your business.”
Tang Ze had a heavy heart; he was still worried that the company would deal with Shi Lan by completely banning her. But since the big shot was so calm, he’d just do as told. If there were consequences, he’d take the blame alone.
Tang Ze had worked with An Lan for years, and no matter what, now that An Lan was gone, he always felt uneasy and self-blame. If only he had intervened a bit at that time, been nicer to An Lan, perhaps she wouldn’t have had thoughts of suicide. Now Shi Lan was seeking revenge for An Lan, and no matter what, he wanted to contribute.
Shi Lan was unaware of Tang Ze’s rich inner world. She only knew that an agent like Tang Ze, if at Huahai, she would have fired one after another because he was too humane.
He stuck by An Lan’s side through thick and thin, but his business capabilities were miles away from professional.
Yet, for some reason, she now actually thought that having a human touch wasn’t so bad at all.
Otherwise, she might not be feeling so at ease right now.
“So I’m really agreeing to it then…” This time, Tang Ze truly left.
