The next day, Sister Pan arrived at the company early. Her artiste was holding an event that day, and she was in a particularly good mood. Pan Tingmei had attended the baby shower last night, and she hadn’t heard anything from her. She assumed that no news was good news and that things had gone well for her niece.
Back in her office, Sister Pan realized that her phone was turned off. No wonder she had heard no news from last night.
She took out her portable charger and plugged in her phone. When her phone was switched on, she quickly found out that she had over a dozen messages and missed calls.
Most of them were from Pan Tingmei, and Sister Pan was bewildered. She was just about to call her back when one of her assistants walked into the office in a hurry.
“Why didn’t you knock before coming in?” Sister Pan asked her assistant in annoyance.
Her assistant was shocked before returning to the door. She knocked on it before walking in again.
“What’s the matter?” Sister Pan asked.
“Sister Pan, I’ve been told that your niece, Pan Tingmei, has been fired from Zhiya Entertainment.,” Her assistant broke the news slowly.
At the mention of this news, Sister Pan widened her eyes immediately. “What? How could that be?”
“It’s true, she was chased away last night, and all her belongings were removed from the dormitory as well.”
Sister Pan couldn’t believe her ears, and she made a call to the security office at the dormitory. After the news was confirmed, she shouted angrily at her assistant. “Why didn’t you inform me about this sooner? This is such an important update!”
Pitifully, the assistant replied, “I tried calling you last night, but the calls just wouldn’t go through. I hurried here immediately when I heard that you were in the office. I wanted to tell you but you made me knock on the door first, I…”
“Stop finding excuses!” Sister Pan was anxious. No wonder Pan Tingmei had called her so many times last night! Something must have gone wrong. “You wait here. This isn’t over yet!”
Sister Pan hurriedly walked over to the trainee department. She bumped into Jack who was packing up and leaving. Sister Pan started shouting at him immediately when she saw him. “You back-stabbing snake! I thought you told me that you were going to take good care of Tingmei? Why is she getting chased out of Zhiya Entertainment? What exactly happened last night?”
Jack was in a foul mood as well and bumping into Sister Pan made his blood boil. If this woman hadn’t asked him to take care of Pan Tingmei, he might not have bullied Yu Luoluo along with her. At this juncture, it was just an ugly finger-pointing fight.
Jack looked coldly at Sister Pan and said, “Take care of her? Why don’t you go find out who exactly she offended last night? How can I take care of her? Can’t you tell that I’m packing up and leaving as well? I’ve been fired too!”
“What?” Sister Pan was stunned. “What did you say? You’ve been fired as well?”
Weren’t they at the baby shower last night? Did Pan Tingmei offend someone important at the event? Why on earth were they both fired?
Jack was impatient. “Do you know who Yu Luoluo is?”
“Who she is? Isn’t she a lowly countryside girl?”
“Lowly?” Jack was pale. “She comes from power alright! She is the cousin of our big boss, Ling Tianya!”
When she heard the news, Sister Pan’s reaction was not unlike that of Pan Tingmei and Jack’s reaction from the night before.
“You’re kidding me!” Sister Pan couldn’t believe her ears.
“Kidding? Am I in the mood to tell jokes?” Jack wanted to kill himself. He had not only been fired from Zhiya Entertainment, but he had basically been given a life sentence. He was never going to find another job again. The industry was not that small, but the news would spread and no company would use him ever again.
He was finished. Pan Tingmei was finished as well…
