Without waiting for Enson to reply, Ling Momo continued, "Losing my dream would be regrettable, but seeing a friend in distress will sadden me."
Li Qingshen did not reply.
Ling Momo wasn’t waiting for Enson to reply either; she sat on the balcony, watching the vast expanse of starlight, her expression calm.
Li Qingshen’s expression was also very calm, but the light in the depths of his eyes was flickering unpredictably.
After a while, he picked up his phone and dialed a number. "Convene a meeting tomorrow..."
Li Qingshen stood up, took the tea that had long since grown cold on the table, slowly brought it to his lips, gently took a sip, and then stared straight out of the window. After a long time, he blinked and a hint of a smile curved at the corners of his lips.
What a silly girl... To so selflessly stand up for Chen Wanru.
People say that those who are grateful and pay it forward are the kindest of all.
Hence, his Ling Momo, no matter how naughty or mischievous she was, she too was an innocent, adorable, and kind little girl.
His ten years of effort were nothing but to realize a dream for her.
He had never thought of giving up on anything concerning her.
How could he bear to have her give up on her dream?
The next day, at noon, Ling Momo received a call from ES asking her to come to the company at three in the afternoon.
Due to the constant scandal in the past couple of days and reporters being everywhere around Ling Momo, ES specifically sent someone to bring her to the ES company.
At three o’clock, the meeting commenced.
When Ling Momo stepped into the conference room, she found that Jian Chenxi was also there.
Jian Chenxi’s complexion was very pale, she just lifted her eyelids slightly, glanced at Ling Momo, and then turned her head away without saying a word.
Ling Momo saw her name tag on a seat, walked over, sat down, and then many senior executives from ES gradually came in.
The last ones to enter the conference room were Li Qingshen and the vice president of ES.
Once everyone had arrived, the vice president of ES announced the start of the meeting and then gave a lengthy speech. "As you all have seen the news that has been stirring up online these past days, the judging committee has repeatedly urged Ling Momo to come forward and apologize. Therefore, we will hold a press conference tomorrow, where Ling Momo, you will apologize to everyone."
Ling Momo hung her head and did not respond, but Li Qingshen, sitting beside her, clearly felt her body tremble lightly. Her eyes flickered and she suddenly spoke up, asking, "Regarding Ling Momo, what punishment will you mete out?"
"This incident has caused significant losses to the company. The fault lies with Ling Momo, and she should certainly be punished. Moreover, the company has to make an example for the rest of the artists!"
The vice president of ES paused, glanced at Li Qingshen, and then continued, "Therefore, according to the rules, Ling Momo should be permanently banished from ES Music Entertainment Company!"
Ling Momo had actually braced herself for this, but upon hearing the words "permanently banished," she still shuddered lightly. Her head remained bowed, hidden from everyone was her already pale face.
"Mr. Li, you have no objections to this outcome, right?" After all, Ling Momo was Li Qingshen’s student, and even though it’s by the book, they still needed to seek Li Qingshen’s opinion.
