She hastily responded in her defense, “Kong Xiaoqian only told me that I must meet an investor; she didn’t mention who it was . Besides, I know nothing about his reputation . ”
“…” Qin Zhou was rendered speechless . “Haven’t I told you, time and again, that this circle is very messy? Plus, without my order, you privately attended a dinner party . Didn’t you think of the consequences…”
Knowing that she was in the wrong for being stupid, the artiste obediently listened to his scolding .
His heart softened at her pitiful look and he could not help patting her hair . “That’s it; I didn’t intend to scold you . I was just worried that you’d be hurt . With you being so stupid, I’m really worried that you’ll be devoured alive if I let you outside!”
“What an exaggeration . ”
“You haven’t encountered situations even more exaggerated than this . Anyway, without my order, you’re not allowed to act on your own in the future!” He suddenly smiled after pausing for a bit . “You’re really capable, though, to stab him with a pair of scissors . I heard that if it were a little more slanted, he’d definitely have no offspring . ”
She stuck her tongue out at him . “Who asked him to offend me? He deserves it . ”
“You still have the cheek to laugh?! If not for Chairman Mu putting pressure on those involved in this matter, you’d definitely be killed by Li Dongliang . ” He could not help but scare her a little .
The artiste was really shocked by this . “Is he really so capable?”
“What do you think? Do you know what is backing Global Pictures?”
“What?”
“Dream Fund . ”
“Isn’t that the charity fund founded by Wu Lianjie?” She was a little confused .
“Hah! Charity fund? That’s because you don’t know about it . It’s actually a money-laundering financial institution . From government officials to the underworld, there are many big shots behind Dream Fund . Wu Lianjie is only a spokesperson; the investors behind him are the real ones pulling the strings . On the surface, it is a charity fund, but behind the scenes, there are many bloodbaths involving it that implicate the interests of the richest and most powerful people . Of course, this can only be secretly discussed . ”
She was dumbfounded .
“Why do you think those investors are willing to fund that movie despite knowing that they will make a loss? In all honesty, it’s a way of laundering money!” He continued .
She was rendered completely speechless by this .
It turned out that the interests involved ran deep .
“Be more careful; this circle isn’t as simple as you thought it to be . Dreams are merely dreams; the reality is harsh . ”
She nervously asked, “What happened after?”
“Nothing much . No matter how domineering Li Dongliang is, he will also have to let things settle on the account of Chairman Mu . ”
However, just because the old man did not wish to pursue the matter, it did not mean that Mu Yazhe would do the same .
After the incident, Kong Xiaoqian was removed from her post, and Disheng followed up on the acquisition of the Kong Group .
It could be said that she came back with shorn instead of wool, getting herself in deep trouble and paying a steep price .
It was all because she had touched someone whom she was not supposed to touch!
“Of course, you got lucky that it turned out to be a blessing in disguise . Lin Zhi’s main lead role may become yours in the end . ”
She raised a brow . “Are you talking about the female main lead of ‘Lethal Beauty’?”
“Yes! I wish to fight it for you; we may stand a chance . ” Qin Zhou appeared to be very excited .
The artiste, however, splashed a basin of cold water on him . “Forget about it . There’s no need to fight for it since they have already selected her . ”
It was his turn to be dumbfounded this time .
