Chapter 521 Just Be Reasonable

Seeing Yu Jing frown only made Manager Hao's resentment grow inside her. "Since Qiao Qiao didn't sign the endorsement yet, I suggest you cancel it." She uttered.

"I was not expecting that you would play favorites."

"Isn't that what you are doing?" Manager Hao retorted. "Just because my sister's name was dragged in some false rumors created by people who wanted her to lose the awards, does not mean that you can do this to her. We cannot deny that Cindy is the front runner in the awards. If you take these endorsements and give it Qiao Qiao people will start asking questions."

Slowly, an arrogant smirk hung on Yu Jing's face. "Manager Hao is truly valiant. You dared to tell me what to do?" Yu Jing rose from his seat. "I can destroy you and your artist in a day, Manager Hao. Because of me… Cindy Hao exists. Because of me… she got the newcomers awards last year. I created her. I have the right to do what I want with her and her career."

"You — " Manager Hao's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Actually, there is still a way to fix this." CEO Yu walked towards the wall that was used to display all the awards that he had over the years. "If you want those endorsements back, then… let Cindy create some hype using Zhou Jingren and Lily's name." He continued as he used his hand to touch one of the plaques with his name on it. "If you don't want the press conference, then… I can only give the endorsements to Qiao Qiao."

"CEO Yu!" Manager Hao felt anger ripped through her. How could this man scheme against her and Cindy?

"Manager Hao… Some people in China wanted to use your sister against that woman. I suggest you should just… listen to me. Do that interview so you can keep the endorsements for your sister." 

"CEO Yu, those endorsements are hers to begin with. How could you threaten us like this?" CEO Yu's words about the people who wanted to use her sister only confirmed her suspicion that someone else is behind this.

Yu Jing sneered. "This is only temporary. People will forget. Your sister has a lot of fans that will protect her. They will only put the blame on Lily and would refuse to listen to the truth. If you are smart enough… you will take this proposal without asking any more questions."

"Wait… so you wanted to use my sister against Lily and sacrifice her career?"

"I said nothing about sacrificing her career." CEO Yu looked at her. "Let me explain everything in simple words. Your sister will do a press conference and deliberately mention her encounter with Lily. She will not say that Lily bullied her. But she will use the words on the script to imply that the bullying happened. Lily flaunted her wealth in front of her and everyone else. It was as if… she was looking down on your sister."

He continued. "She does not need to answer questions about the encounter. She won't give any comments against her or mention her name. She will then end the conference with a smile on her face. Then she will have her endorsements back."

"Isn't this a win-win for your sister?" he added. "She will get the sympathy of everyone, people will pity her and she will get her endorsements back. It is simple."

"CEO Yu, that is not my concern." Manager Hao answered. "I understand everything about that script. My concern is not the lie or the scheme that you are planning. My concern is involving Lily's name! It's Lily Facci Zhou that I am worried about."

"You are worried that she will destroy your sister's career?" She nodded in response. "Do you think that she can just waltz in China and start ruining people's lives? Manager Hao, do not forget that my Family had been around in the Entertainment industry for years! Our influence in the industry is vast. I can assure you that— "

"You don't understand," Manager Hao shook her head. "I have seen her ruin lives without lifting a finger. If you want to destroy someone's life then… please find someone else and stop involving my sister in this matter." Manager Hao wanted to avoid Lily at all costs.

She is not a fool. She knew that something else was going on here. CEO Yu clearly said that someone wanted to ruin Lily. These words easily removed the involvement of Qiao Qiao's name in this matter. The CEO could say that Qiao Qiao was chosen because she was also working under Manager Hao. He could say that this was not intentional, and that whoever is behind this randomly chose Qiao Qiao for their schemes.

However, she is not buying this. For some reason, Manager Hao felt that this scheme had something to do with Qiao Qiao too. She bit her lips as she recalled Lily's smiling face when she innocently asked her about the awards.

If Cindy will bite this bullet… then she is sure that Lily will retaliate. CEO Yu will then pretend to help them and all their attention will be on this fight that they started. This will only stray their focus away from the awards.

Moreover, the possibility of Lily winning was too big. Manager Hao could not really risk it. In fact, she would not even waste her time fighting a battle that she will surely lose. This is a fight that could cost them her sister's career and Manager Hao would never let that happen.

"Manger Hao…" CEO Yu's lips lifted into a sinister smile. "This matter is already decided. If your sister will do it, I will force other members of your team to say something. They will say some things that will show how Lily bullied your sister and eventually her fans will still defend her against Lily."

"You— "

"Think about it. Since you refuse, you will also lose the endorsements and the matter that you want to avoid will still happen. Can't you just be more reasonable and agree? At least if you agree you will get the endorsements back."
