Chapter Index

    “Bulls**t, no further action will be taken!”

    After reading the report, the Chairman couldn’t help but curse.

    On the surface, it sounded all proper, but if they really weren’t going to take action, why would the headquarters stop a movie that had already passed review? Of course, he had to admire those two foreigners’ ability to seek death. Who would they mess with if not Xu Shaochen?

    And even after causing trouble, they didn’t even apologize! How arrogant can they be, walking away all high and mighty as if Xu Someone were soft clay?

    “Contact that company in Mg Country immediately and demand they do something to quell Xu Shaochen’s anger. Otherwise, we will hold them fully responsible for the damages their artists have caused to our company and demand full compensation.”

    The Chairman looked at the project leader. After giving the order, he considered some rumors about Xu Shaochen and, gritting his teeth, added:

    “Forget it, just tell them we’re ceasing all cooperation. It’s their fault. Have them refund the royalties, and that will be enough.”

    Just to be safe, it’s better to sever ties cleanly with them.

    What if Xu Shaochen retaliates and ends up hurting me by mistake?

    “Yes, Chairman.”

    The project leader acknowledged and left to handle the matter.

    …………

    Mg Country.

    The entertainment club that Dennis and Jennifer had signed with had already been shaken up by Mike before the call from China even came in.

    The company head almost had a stroke on the spot. After all, with someone as big as Mike, he could crush their company with a flick of his fingers.

    He immediately called Dennis and Jennifer, telling them to apologize to Xu Shaochen — no matter how they did it.

    If not, the company would terminate their contracts immediately.

    Jennifer and Dennis, who were in the hotel, were completely dumbfounded after answering the call.

    They never imagined that the Chinese guy they bumped into at the shopping mall turned out to be the richest man in the world.

    Looking at the overwhelming flood of news, combined with the earlier call from their boss, pale-faced fear overtook them.

    Their careers had been moving along smoothly, and they couldn’t bear the thought of it all ending suddenly.

    “Damn it, call that bastard bodyguard in here right now!”

    Dennis screamed in rage, feeling an overwhelming urge to kill someone.

    He originally planned to have some fun with Jennifer in the hotel, but now he doubted even his performance.

    Soon, the bodyguard who pushed people earlier shuffled into the room, trembling.

    It was evident that with things blowing up like this, he knew he had stirred up a hornet’s nest.

    “Smack! Smack! Smack!”

    Dennis walked up and, without saying a word, slapped him fiercely several times.

    “F**k you! You damn idiot! You’ve killed us!”

    Dennis spat through gritted teeth.

    “Boss, save me, please! You’ve got to save me!”

    The bodyguard knelt on the ground, crying miserably with snot and tears streaming down his face. He looked utterly pitiful.

    “S**t!”

    Dennis kicked him to the ground. Save you? Damn it, who’s going to save us now?!

    “Enough! Think about how we’re going to approach him. If we don’t, we won’t even get a chance to apologize.”

    Jennifer stepped in to stop Dennis from continuing his outburst, her face filled with worry and bitterness.

    She had a wealthy boyfriend, so even if she were blacklisted, it wouldn’t really matter to her. What worried her more was that a blacklist might not be the end of the retaliation.

    “Isn’t your boyfriend quite successful? He’s in business too. Let him help set up a meeting with Xu, and he can act as an intermediary.”

    Dennis took a deep breath, calming his anger as he walked over to hug Jennifer.

    Hm, her boyfriend’s head must be greener than a spring meadow.

    “Alright, I’ll call him and try.”

    Jennifer, already feeling anxious, picked up the phone. Her boyfriend did have big connections on Wall Street, but when compared to Xu Shaochen, it was nothing.

    Soon, the call connected.

    “Honey…”

    Jennifer was cut off by her boyfriend before she could finish: “Darling, I’ve already seen the news. I just made some calls, and I’ve managed to arrange a dinner with Chairman Xu. You two can come with me.”

    “By the way, make sure to bring that bodyguard with you.”

    Clearly, he was deeply in love with Jennifer. Too bad he didn’t know that the woman he cherished had been with someone else countless times.

    “Honey, I… I’m so touched. I love you.”

    Jennifer, full of emotion, immediately pulled Dennis into a tight embrace, and the two began kissing.

    “I love you too, babe. Why do you sound so out of breath?”

    While snuggling with Dennis, Jennifer replied between heavy breaths, “Sweetie, I… I’m on the treadmill while calling you… No… I have to keep running…”

    “Honey, I love your body. Keep working out then.”

    With that, the green-hat king hung up the phone.

    In the hotel, Jennifer threw her phone aside and fell into bed with Dennis.

    …………

    Jennifer’s boyfriend was named Tom, the Chairman of a financial company on Wall Street. He was somewhat well-known there.

    Given how deep finance ran in those circles, he had made quite a few connections with big shots.

    This time, he managed to arrange the dinner with Xu Shaochen thanks to the help of one of those big shots.

    Otherwise, with his status, not only would he not be able to invite Xu Shaochen for dinner — he wouldn’t even have the right to meet him.

    That evening, at a five-star hotel.

    To show his sincerity, Tom booked out the entire hotel.

    In the hall, there was only one long table. All the other tables and chairs had been cleared out.

    Tom sat with his arm around Jennifer, waiting for Xu Shaochen to arrive.

    Dennis sat to the side, very anxious, glancing constantly at his watch.

    The bodyguard who had pushed the person earlier stood behind him, his face still marked with fresh handprints.

    “Dennis, no need to be this tense. Trust me, he’ll give me some face. This is no big deal.”

    Tom reassured Dennis. In his mind, this was just a matter of pushing one of Xu Shaochen’s female companions. As long as he was respectful enough, it would blow over.

    After all, Xu Shaochen never lacked women. On that day alone, he had three girls with him. Surely, he wouldn’t make a big fuss over just one.

    “Tom, it’s useless. I comforted him earlier today, but he’s still very tense.”

    Jennifer leaned into Tom’s chest as she spoke suggestively. The word “comforted” served as a double entendre.

    Not only did she comfort him with words, but her body as well.

    “Is that so? Well, alright.”

    Tom shrugged and shook his head helplessly.

    Right then, Xu Shaochen walked in, with Li Qianya following behind him, along with Long Yi and Long Er.
