Chapter 215: How is it bad in what way? Chapter 215: How is it bad in what way? Yan Shixiu had just reached the door to the VIP private room when he heard two people’s unabashed boasting.
I’m afraid even offering to carry shoes for the young miss, she wouldn’t care to look at them, right?
“Mr. Yan, please come in.” The private room’s server directed Yan Shixiu inside.
Yan Shixiu adjusted his tie and strode into the private room with his assistant in tow.
Shuangshi had no gaming industry, so the two parties had never met before, only having heard of each other’s names. Today, upon seeing each other, Yilong’s president had to admit that amongst the young talents, Yan Shixiu’s dignified and commanding aura made him an absolute standout.
“Mr. Yan, I’m delighted you could grace us with your presence, my surname is Gao.” The president of Yilong quickly got up to greet him.
Yan Shixiu reached out his hand, touching fingertips lightly with the other party before letting go.
“Mr. Yan, my name is Qin, I have long admired your renown.” Vice President Qin extended his hand too, but Yan Shixiu simply bypassed him and took a seat in the chair.
Vice President Qin, feeling slighted, was deeply displeased, yet dared not show it on his face, meekly withdrawing his hand.
“If I remember correctly, when Yilong was first established, it was once graced with my wife’s kindness? Yet now, the two of you banter without any shyness.” Yan Shixiu sat upright in his chair, legs crossed, his gaze emitting an inscrutable dark color.
“Please forgive us, Mr. Yan. Vice President Qin was merely lamenting how time ages us all,” said Gao, hastily smoothing things over. “We hope you won’t take it to heart.”
“Fine, but there’s hardly any interaction between Yilong and myself, so please get straight to the point.”
The implication was clear: don’t waste time, get to the main topic.
“We believe you might have heard about the matter concerning the artist An Lan and our Vice President Qin.”
“I’ve heard nothing of it,” Yan Shixiu shot back directly.
Upon hearing Yan Shixiu’s response, Gao felt the displeasure and spoke even more cautiously, explaining, “It’s about An Lan, the second female lead of the drama ‘Fengyan Family’ invested by your company, and some conflicts she had with our Vice President Qin. We weren’t at fault at the outset, so we already came out to apologize, but this young lady persisted relentlessly, causing significant negative impact for our company. Thus, in this situation, we had no choice but to seek help from you, Mr. Yan.”
“You’ve got the wrong person. An Lan isn’t an artist from my company, and moreover, we’ve signed a contract.”
“We will cover the breach of contract fee,” Gao said. “You see, keeping such a problematic artist has been unfair to the production crew and other actors. Wouldn’t it be better to replace her early on, don’t you think?”
Yan Shixiu looked at the two of them, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly, and said, “Gentlemen, are you instructing me on how to conduct my affairs?”
“Of course not, Mr. Yan. You misunderstand. We just hope for a mutually beneficial collaboration,” he responded.
Yan Shixiu chuckled coldly, finding it even more ludicrous and asked, “Do you think I lack money?”
“We simply believe you could have better alternatives,” they said.
Vice President Qin, anxious about the cultural clash unfolding, could not hold back any longer and blurted out, “Mr. Yan, that little bitch is completely corrupt.”
This statement indeed caught Yan Shixiu’s interest, and he inquired with renewed curiosity, “In what way is she corrupt?”
“She thinks too highly of herself for having some good looks, flirts around with men, seeing them as mere tools for her ascendancy, essentially no different from a slut. If I had such a daughter, I’d strangle her myself.”
Yan Shixiu raised an eyebrow, leaning back slightly, and coolly asked, “Is that so?”
