Super War God in the City

Ling Fan ended the call and apologized to Su Qiong and Zhou Siyu, "I’m really sorry, but something’s come up, so I have to leave first. I’ll make it up to you next time. If you run into any trouble, call me. I’ll come over tomorrow!"

Seeing that Ling Fan had matters to attend to, Su Qiong didn’t try to keep him, nodding and said, "Then you go ahead, we’ll get in touch later!"

Zhou Siyu didn’t dare to obstruct him either, eagerly saying, "Do you need me to drive you?"

"Hehe, no need. Enjoy your meal!" Ling Fan thanked them and then left the restaurant.

As soon as Ling Fan was gone, Su Qiong started gossiping with Zhou Siyu about his affairs, which Zhou Siyu had been aware of, thereby planning to use the excuse of driving Ling Fan to sneak away.

There were things she wasn’t sure Ling Fan would be pleased to hear about, some involving the private affairs of the Zhou Family.

Zhou Siyu, with a troubled expression, said, "I can tell you some, but you have to keep it a secret..."

...

Fanxing Entertainment Group, a towering skyscraper 36 stories high, stood in all its grandeur and splendor.

At this moment, in the president’s meeting room on the top floor, ten people, five on each side, faced each other across the table, in a stalemate.

Leading the Fanxing side was Xiao Chubing, accompanied by the remaining three senior executives still in office, and another was Li Mengying, who had just returned from a phone call with Ling Fan.

Across the table, the person in charge was a slightly chubby middle-aged man with slicked-back hair and a greasy face, his beady eyes roving over Xiao Chubing and Li Mengying.

Xiao Chubing’s expression was grim, "Mr. Wang, we do not agree with your proposal. You can drop that idea!"

The slightly chubby man was Wang Jing, a notable director from Huaxia’s top three entertainment companies, Xiangjiang’s Hua Yi Entertainment, and a lapdog of the "Prince of Hua Yi", Han Tianyu. He was known for his promiscuity and early notorious "Forbidden Delicacy" films from Xiangjiang.

"President Xiao, you’d better reconsider my proposal. Offending Hua Yi is not a wise move, especially now when Fanxing is no longer in its prime," Wang Jing said, squinting his beady eyes and shaking his head.

This guy might not seem upstanding, but he wasn’t reckless. In his mind, he rapidly reviewed the information he had investigated prior to the meeting.

Fanxing Entertainment used to be under the complete control of the Feng Family, and somehow, it ended up in Xiao Chubing’s hands, though the Xiao Family didn’t seem to have the capacity to take over Fanxing.

He thought it through based on the information he had gathered: the wife of the Feng Family’s third son was sisters with the wife of the Patriarch of the Li Family, and Li Mei, the second daughter of the Li Family, was the fiancée of the eldest son of the Head of the Xiao Family.

Considering this, the Xiao, Li, and Feng families were all related by marriage. Recently, there had been bad news from the Feng Family— the old man had a car accident, and the eldest grandson, Feng Jie, also passed away.

The Family Head, in deep sorrow, resigned from his position, and surprisingly, he passed the leadership not to a male descendant, but to his daughter, Shu Ya, from the third branch Feng Wenshan.

Wang Jing seized the opportunity when he learned the news, reasoning that the Feng Family was currently in disarray and weak with internal conflicts, reduced to being led by a woman, and thus not to be feared.

The Xiao and Li Families weren’t a concern either—it was only Xiao Chubing who had some business acumen. It was likely that with the sudden crisis in the Feng Family, they had no choice but to hastily bring in Xiao Chubing, this distant relative, to keep up appearances.

Actually, if not for Vermilion Bird’s exceedingly cautious operations in bidding for the company in Xiao Chubing’s name, it would have been difficult for others to find any discrepancies to scrutinize. If they had discovered the connection with the Li Family, even with several times more courage, this man wouldn’t dare cause trouble.

"Mr. Wang, am I to understand that you are threatening me?" Xiao Chubing responded coldly.

She knew Hua Yi was not to be trifled with, but when they pushed her too far, she didn’t see the need to back down. Having been with Ling Fan for only a few days, she learned to be assertive and no longer bore things with intentional forbearance as she used to.

"Hehe..."

Wang Jing let out a cold laugh, surprised by the tough stance of the new official, Xiao Chubing.

"President Xiao, you surely know the current state of Fanxing better than anyone else, mired in scandals, facing internal and external troubles, precarious in the storm. Believe me, with just a little effort from Hua Yi, we could make Fanxing utterly incapable of making a move in the industry!"

Li Mengying and the few Fanxing executives all showed signs of distress; Xiao Chubing had done her homework and was well aware that Fanxing was currently just a mess.

Female artists being coerced into suicide, former directors arrested, senior executives resigning in droves—the company was basically gutted, teetering on the brink, with only mid-level and lower staff remaining.

Many famous female artists whose contracts were expiring were also swaying back and forth, and other small and mid-sized entertainment companies were taking advantage to poach talent. Now even Hua Yi was openly trying to headhunt.

Nowadays, all that was left of Fanxing were two very promising female artists, a pair of newly popular sister celebrities, also facing contract renewals but still undecided whether to stay or go.

Rumors had it that many were secretly trying to poach the sisters, and today they were planning to negotiate with them, but instead had to contend with Hua Yi’s Wang Jing coming to pressure them for the artists. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"President Xiao, all that’s left of Fanxing now is an empty shell. Executives who should run have run, those that should be caught have been arrested. Popular artists have been poached by others... Surely you wouldn’t miss these two either! Someone prudent knows when to yield. To offend Hua Yi over two artists, do you think it’s worth it?

Besides, I won’t let you lose out for nothing—I’ll pay double breach of contract fees. Please give it careful thought; it’s best for everyone," Wang Jing smiled with confidence, as if he already held victory.

He had to sign the sister celebrities today. Before the former director got into trouble, they had already been promised to Young Master Han. But with the current incident, it couldn’t be openly mentioned.

Xiao Chubing hesitated for a moment, weighed the options, and took a deep breath, "You can try to poach them, but it must be according to their wishes. If they are willing to choose Huaxia, I won’t stand in the way.

But if they don’t want to, please don’t coerce them. I, Xiao Chubing, am not someone to be trifled with!"

Wang Jing’s eyes narrowed slightly and he nodded, "Fine, call them over!"

"Xiao Ying, go and bring them both over!" Xiao Chubing ordered.

Li Mengying nodded and left the meeting room.

Soon after, Li Mengying returned to the meeting room with the mixed-race twin sisters. As soon as they appeared, Wang Jing’s eyes lit up. The old fox had seen all types throughout his filming career; what rare beauties hadn’t he encountered?

But these two were absolutely different. Debuting with the tagline of ’once in a millennium’ beautiful sisters and the advantage of being mixed-race, they possessed both Eastern and Western charms, making them true gems.

Even Wang Jing, the experienced player, couldn’t help but swallow his saliva, "No wonder Young Master Han can’t forget them, willing to pay whatever it takes to have them as his forbidden delicacies."

Even Xiao Chubing couldn’t resist taking a few extra glances. No wonder Hua Yi was so eager to poach them. With a bit of packaging, given the sisters’ good looks, they were bound to be famous. If they could be retained, they would definitely be pillars for Fanxing Entertainment in the future.

"An Xiyao, An Xixue, this is Director Wang from Hua Yi. You two should be familiar with him. There are two months left on your contract, and Director Wang wishes to poach you to Hua Yi.

However, I can assure you that if you stay, Fanxing will pour all of its resources into both of you. You will not be treated poorly!"

"No matter what two of you choose, I will respect it. However, I still hope that you can stay," Xiao Chubing gave his promise and expressed his hope.

Wang Jing composed himself and smiled, "You should understand Hua Yi well enough, it’s the NO1 in the entertainment circle, so I won’t say much.

The resources that Fanxing can offer you, I can promise the same, even more. The company hopes you two will join us now, and we will do our best to promote you.

The penalty for breaking the contract can be paid by Hua Yi. Whatever conditions and requests you have, just let us know, and I’ll do my utmost to satisfy both of you!"

Wang Jing was full of confidence, with the Hua Yi brand behind him, few could resist.

Xiao Chubing felt a slight tension, but there wasn’t much he could do.

Then, seeing An Xiyao and An Xixue exchange a glance, they spoke in unison, "We will continue to stay with Fanxing!"

Xiao Chubing heard this, and a hint of surprise was overtaken by joy.

Wang Jing’s expression turned ugly, his surprise at their decision was apparent, "Have you thought this through? Now Fanxing is no longer what it once was, staying here is not a good fate!"

But the two sisters were very firm in their stance, "We are grateful for Director Wang’s appreciation. Fanxing has been fair to us. Although it is going through a negative crisis now, we are willing to face the difficulties with Fanxing!"

They had already secretly caught wind that the former director, just before his trouble, seemed to have the intention of offering both of them to the Prince of Hua Yi, Han Tianyu.

Considering the rumors about Han Tianyu and his popular female artists, the sisters were quite worried. Not long ago, the former director was arrested for a scandal, and they were secretly relieved at having dodged a bullet but didn’t expect that Hua Yi’s shadow would continue to loom, eventually coming to their doorstep.

They were a bit skeptical before, but now it seemed to be true.

Wang Jing’s face went from one change to another. If he couldn’t secure the two of them today, he would have a hard time explaining to Young Master Han when he got back.

"Think carefully, do you know the consequences of rejecting Hua Yi? Now that Fanxing can hardly protect itself, how long do you think it can shelter you?

I guarantee that in the future, it will be hard for both of you to find a place in the entertainment circle!" Wang Jing threatened.

Xiao Chubing stepped forward, his voice icy, "Are you threatening me?"

Finally dropping his pretense, Wang Jing slammed the table and sneered, "President Xiao, I’m not afraid to tell you the truth: Young Master Han has taken a liking to these two.

You, an outsider who should stick to your legitimate business, insist on wading into the muddy waters of the entertainment circle. Today, I am indeed threatening you. Do you realize how deep these waters are? Aren’t you afraid of drowning?"

Xiao Chubing’s expression was frosty!

Li Mengying’s face was filled with anger!

The expressions of the three executives at Fanxing Entertainment changed subtly, and they remained silent!

An Xiyao and An Xixue looked at each other with pale faces, unable to help stepping back and hiding behind Xiao Chubing!

The meeting room was filled with an oppressive silence, leaving only Wang Jing’s cold sneer exceptionally glaring!
