Chapter 91: The Tricky He Wanzhou

Translator: Henyee  Editor: Henyee

“What can you do now?” Xiao Yan got up with a sneer and looked down at Xiao Jinning who only came up to his shoulder even in high heels. Then he called out her name coldly, “Ms. Yao Jinning.”

“Haha. I’ll have you pay for what you did to me one day!” Xiao Jinning turned and left Xiao Yan’s office.

Seeing Xiao Jinning so easily provoked, Xiao Yan shook his head in contempt. “If you’re not capable enough, don’t try to trick people, or else you’ll only end up with a tragedy.” Murmuring to himself, he walked to his chair, sat down, picked up the phone and called his secretary. “Tell the security personnel not to allow Xiao Jinning to enter Xiao’s Group again! Whoever lets her in will be fired.”

Hearing this, the secretary was shocked. It seemed that Xiao Jinning was going to be finished.

These rich people were never pushovers. Xiao Jinning had thought that she could manipulate everyone only to be caught and kicked out of the Xiao Family in such a short time. She would probably be kicked out of City A too.

Thinking of this, the secretary shuddered. Everyone had a skeleton in the closet! So it turned out that Xiao Hongli’s daughter was actually Xiao Hongyi’s!

What a mess!

On the other side of things, on the set of the TV series “When We Were Young,” Ning Yan was so angry that he called He Wanzhou with his phone and scolded him harshly, “He Wanzhou, look at what the hell you’ve done! Now Xiao Jinning is finished. You must get a new leading female for me! Besides that, the budget for this TV series will rise! Who is going to be responsible for this?! Now tell me who is going to be responsible for this!”

He Wanzhou was having a hard time too. He hadn’t expected Liu Chengyu to expose the scandal regarding Xiao Jinning at this time. Liu Chengyu was absolutely the worst fiancé he had ever seen. If he were Xiao Jinning, he would have killed him…

Alas, he should have been prepared when he find out Xiao Jinning wasn’t the biological daughter of Xiao Hongyi and Lin Ru. What could he do now?

He Wanzhou rubbed between his eyebrows and tried to pacify Ning Yan. “Ning Yan, how can you blame me for this? It’s the fault of Xiao Jinning’s fiancé, isn’t it? Who knew he would expose Xiao Jinning’s scandal at such a time?”

“No more excuses!” Ning Yan shouted at the phone in front of all the actors and actresses on the set. “You chose this actress for me! Now you want to put the blame on someone else? If I were Liu Chengyu, I would have exposed this scandal of Xiao Jinning’s too. Why should I accept such a ‘ cheekitch’ as my a fiancée? Just increase the budget. I’m going to choose a new leading actress! Do you hear me?”

He Wanzhou asked, “How much do you want to add?”

“At least one hundred million!” Ning Yan said resolutely. “I’m going to choose a really talented actress, and do this drama all over again, so just prepare the money!”

“I’ll talk with Liu Chengyu. He has to pay at least eighty million!” When it came to money, He Wanzhou would immediately brisk up. “Or we can give up this project. You never made a TV series before, right? You can just give it to another director. After finishing the TV commercial for my brother, you can make a movie with the scandal of Xiao Jinning as the gimmick. Let’s crack the movie market.”

“I have made movies before!”

He Wanzhou said, “I know. I meant that you can concentrate on movies and no longer make TV series. I’ll find a TV director for this TV series. It’s not a big deal. You don’t have to worry about it.”

Ning Yan sneered, “He Wanzhou, you’ve already planned it, right?”

He was actually asking him to give up the TV drama market?!

He Wanzhou said, “Xiao Jinning hasn’t bowed out of the TV series. You can just tell the media that you can’t bear working with Xiao Jinning, so you quit, and then I will find another director for this TV series.”

Ning Yan got up with a grunt, walked to his resting room, and asked, “Then what about He Wanyi? She’s doing this drama because of me. If I quit, she is gonna kill me!”

“I can handle Wanyi. Anyways, the TV series just started not long ago. Xiao Jinning’s reputation has been ruined. Netizens are all cursing her and say they’re gonna boycott her works. Even if we stop shooting the TV series, no one will say anything.”

Ning Yan narrowed his eyes and sneered, “He Wanzhou, you just don’t want to increase the budget, right?”

He Wanzhou replied with a chuckle, “We really don’t have to take such a big risk for a TV series. If it were a movie, I may have given it a try, but it’s just a youth idol drama. You know that the viewers are fed up with this kind of drama…”

“But this one is new!” Ning Yan shouted. “You don’t believe in my taste?!”

“Calm down…” He Wanzhou said. “I’d rather you make a youth idol movie.”

Ning Yan pondered for a while before asking, “You want me to lash out against Xiao Jinning?”

He Wanzhou coughed. “A lot of directors have done it, and almost all the actresses and actors who have worked with Xiao Jinning are speaking ill of her. And someone even posted on the Internet the video of Xiao Jinning slapping her assistant and picking on newbies on the set. You’ll not be the only one.” He cleared his throat and continued, “Besides, by doing so, you’ll do a favor to the Xiao Brothers, so why not?”

Ning Yan became furious. “Sh*t, am I the kind of person who will trample on a piece of sh*t?”

He Wanzhou knew Ning Yan was almost persuaded, so he continued, “Okay, that’s it. Now there must be many journalists waiting outside the set. Just tell them you’re going to quit, and I’ll hold a press conference for you. Just tell the media that you’ll concentrate on movies and no longer shoot TV dramas. Then it’ll be easier for me to decline others in the future.”

Ning Yan said okay, but He Wanzhou suddenly thought of something and asked, “By the way, what does ‘cheekitch’ mean?”

Ning Yan chuckled and answered, “It means ‘cheeky bitch’!”

He Wanzhou laughed and said, “Oh, I see.” Then he hung up the phone and took a deep breath. “I just saved one hundred million yuan! Money doesn’t grow on trees. How could I waste it like that… I’m not stupid!”

Ning Yan hung up the call but then suddenly felt something was wrong. Why did he feel as if he was tricked by Wanzhou?

At that moment, He Wanyi came over. She appeared excited even though she was frowning. She looked at Ning Yan and smiled, asking, “Would you like to ask them out for a drink tonight?” It was time to celebrate!
