Chapter 133 So Naive
Chapter 133 So Naive
"Blow on it?"
Qin Yu's eyes, unblinking, watched the short-haired woman holding the water bottle, a look of suspicion on his face.
What does that mean?
"Sister Zhou!"
Tang Bing, who had been keeping a straight face, suddenly became anxious when she heard what the short-haired woman said, "How can this be okay? You know I am not like the rest of them!"
"Aiyah, Bingbing, you've been in this circle for over a year now. I've protected you enough, but we've offended President Qin today. You must show some gesture to let President Qin see our sincerity, right?"
The short-haired woman winked vigorously at Tang Bing.
Some actresses, for a role, sleep their way through from the leading actor to the producer to the director. And here she was asking Tang Bing to make a small sacrifice. As long as President Qin is "pleased", wouldn't the issue be resolved?
In her worldview, no man wasn't lecherous unless he was impotent.
"Sister Zhou... I... I really can't do it!"
Tang Bing shook her head, tears nearly spilling from her eyes.
"Tang Bing!"
The short-haired woman's face turned somewhat ugly, she snapped coldly, "From the first day you entered this circle, you should have been prepared. I spent so much money and effort to nurture you, if you can't make this small sacrifice, then let's terminate the contract!"
"What?"
Tang Bing's face turned a bit pale, her mouth slightly agape, unable to utter a word.
"Hehe, President Qin, I'll step out first, Bingbing will offer her apologies properly!"
After the short-haired woman said those meaningful words to Qin Yu, she walked out, closing the door behind her.
"President Qin, I'm sorry for not recognizing your importance in the elevator this morning!"
Tang Bing bit her lip, saw a bottle of whiskey on the nearby liquor shelf, strode over, unscrewed it, and started gulping it down.
She wanted to create a misunderstanding, thinking that Qin Yu, being so young and perhaps not a slick old hand, wouldn't understand what the short-haired woman meant by "apologize".
And indeed, she didn't want to make that kind of sacrifice.
"....."
Qin Yu didn't say a word, just silently watched Tang Bing drinking.
Finally, after Tang Bing had finished the entire bottle of whiskey, he said indifferently, "If you don't want to apologize, then don't, but why insult my intelligence? Did your agent tell you to drink? Clatter..."
Having said that, Qin Yu picked up the empty bottle, squeezed it gently so it crumpled, and casually threw it on the floor.
He wasn't actually interested in this little starlet named Tang Bing, but he was irritated by her trying to be clever in front of him.
"Ah..."
Tang Bing clenched her lips.
Not sure if she was resolved not to be a star anymore, or if the alcohol gave her courage, she actually pointed at Qin Yu's nose and started scolding, "Don't even think about it, I will absolutely not apologize to you in that way, I'd rather work in a factory than sell my soul. You filthy men, perverts, you'll be struck by lightning sooner or later!"
"Damn it..."
Qin Yu was somewhat frustrated. Do all women have the privilege of being unreasonable? How come he suddenly became the bad guy?
But he wasn't sure whether she was acting, putting on a show of integrity to win his favor.
Thinking this, Qin Yu arched his thick eyebrows slightly, "Fine, if you want to break the contract, then call your agent in. Let's talk about the penalty fee!"
"I... I saved more than a million this year, I'll compensate you with that. If it's not enough, I'll make it up after I find a job!"
Tang Bing glared at Qin Yu as she finished speaking angrily, then, with tears welling up, she pulled open the door to the office.
Damn...
Is she really so virtuous and not acting?
Qin Yu blinked and then saw the short-haired woman quietly asking Tang Bing, "What's wrong, did he make you cry? Do you want to go further? Well, it's not impossible, let him give us some resources. Four Seas Film has a significant weight in the industry!"
"It's not that, Cousin, I really can't do it. Let's just pay the compensation, I don't want to be a star anymore!"
Actually, besides being Tang Bing's agent, this short-haired woman was also her cousin. Otherwise, how could a minor star like her receive a contract to promote Four Seas Corporation?
"Bingbing!"
The short-haired woman was getting frustrated, "You say you don't want to do it and just quit? Do you know how much the penalty fee is? A full 30 million, what are you going to use to pay it? I'm not criticizing you, but apart from being pretty, your family is dirt poor!
Real rich people care about social standing and wouldn't give you a second glance. At most, they might just want to play with you!
Can an ordinary man take out 30 million to help you pay the penalty fee? You're already in your twenties, not a child. How can you still be so naive?"
"Wuu wuu... Cousin, I really can't do it!"
Tang Bing started crying with a sense of injustice.
"Whether you can or can't, you have to. Intimacy between men and women is just like that. In the future, you'll have a boyfriend, get married; wouldn't you sleep with your husband? And what if he's a poor jerk, a good-for-nothing? At least Qin Yu is handsome and talented, and by keeping this contract, you wouldn't have to pay the 30 million. Think about it properly!"
The short-haired woman spoke coldly, with an icy expression on her face.
"Are you two sick in the head or something?"
Qin Yu couldn't listen anymore, frowned, and walked to the doorway, addressing the short-haired woman and Tang Bing, "It's such a simple issue, why make it so complicated?"
"Qin... Mr. Qin, Bingbing is still a newcomer. She's a bit unused to the industry's unspoken rules. Don't rush; I'm working on persuading her!"
Once again, the short-haired woman gave a perfect demonstration of being irrelevant to the topic at hand.
"Damn it... Do you really think everything can be settled by unspoken rules? I'm only asking for one thing, that she puts in more effort to play the role of my boss well. Is this demand too high? Instead of wasting time here, why don't you go check out some material related to my boss, is that not okay?"
Qin Yu was at a loss for words. Perhaps because he and the entertainment industry were from completely different circles, this was why their first interaction was unable to proceed normally.
When murkiness becomes the norm, clarity too becomes a sin!
"Mr. Qin... are you really not giving Tang Bing trouble because we offended you this morning?"
The short-haired woman looked at Qin Yu in disbelief.
"Don't measure others by your worldview. The moment I got to the company today, I set down one rule for everyone: conduct oneself with integrity and work diligently! As long as Tang Bing can play my boss well, everything is negotiable!"
Qin Yu said coldly.
"Ah? Okay... okay... We'll go check the material on General Manager Yan right away!"
Experience tales with empire
The short-haired woman sheepishly pulled Tang Bing towards the elevator.
"Sigh..."
Qin Yu shook his head and exhaled a breath of inner turbidity. Stars may shine brightly on the screen, but behind the scenes, they also endure hardship and humiliation!
Wuu wuu...
As Qin Yu was feeling somewhat touched, a WeChat notification for a voice message chimed in.
Huh?
Is Zhou Cuiping on the phone with someone again?
