Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 288: Chapter 288 You’re Really Seeking Death_1

As Bai Xiaosheng unraveled the matter layer by layer, his narration led to a sudden epiphany among the surrounding people.

Upon careful consideration, it was indeed true!

If Zhao Xiaoying really reported Director Gao and slandered Gao Ya, she would gain no benefit whatsoever.

On the contrary, the one who would ultimately benefit wasn’t her, but Qiuya.

”That’s right, Qiuya was the one who failed to get the role of the second female lead against Gao Ya. Even if Gao Ya didn’t get the part, it probably wouldn’t go to Zhao Xiaoying, but to Qiuya instead.”

”From any angle, Zhao Xiaoying has no reason to do this, but instead...”

Rustles of discussion rose up, and countless glances turned towards Qiuya.

Qiuya, panicked.

What was even more terrifying was the abrupt ”It was you” from Gao Ya, almost making Qiuya scream out.

”No, it wasn’t me, it was all done by Zhao Xiaoying, it was her,” Qiuya blurted out in panic, and then, disregarding everything, pointed at Bai Xiaosheng, ”This man is spouting nonsense, you can’t believe him! Writing the report letter and slandering Gao Ya behind her back, it was all Zhao Xiaoying!”

Qiuya’s defense was weak and futile, as she desperately tried to throw dirt on Zhao Xiaoying, which only made the crowd look on with a hint of amusement.

”If Zhao Xiaoying is taken down, the role of the third female lead would be Qiuya’s. No wonder, she wanted to secure third place to contend for second!”

Someone mocked.

At this point, no matter what Qiuya argued, no one believed her anymore.

”Qiuya, you’re despicable, shameless!” Zhao Xiaoying angrily pointed at Qiuya and scolded.

”Qiuya, about this matter, I will have my father thoroughly investigate it. Our Zhongjing Media’s artists, acting so lowly, truly don’t deserve to stay in the company!” Gao Ya said with a grim face.

Now, she believed what Bai Xiaosheng had said.

After speaking, Gao Ya looked at Zhao Xiaoying, somewhat guiltily, ”Xiaoying, I...”

”Sister Gao Ya!” Unable to hold back, Zhao Xiaoying started to cry woefully.

Gao Ya, with a face full of apologies, took her hand, her guilt increasing.

All thanks to that man who helped clarify things for Zhao Xiaoying.

Only then did Gao Ya realize that the calm and collected man had already left with big strides towards the entrance of the banquet hall, engaging in conversation with a dignified man who had just come in from the outside.

A moment later, the two men walked over together.

...

This time, Chen Changqing did not bring Yu Qing and Murong Yan with him, leaving them behind in the department.

On one hand, as a vice president, bringing two assistants and overshadowing Song Changkong would obviously be improper.

On the other hand, there were some matters in the gaming department that needed to be taken care of, and one person couldn’t handle it all, so it was better to leave them all behind.

Chen Changqing, who came by himself, was warmly greeted by Bai Xiaosheng as soon as he entered.

”Mr. Chen, good morning!” Bai Xiaosheng greeted with enthusiasm.

”Good morning, Mr. Bai,” Chen Changqing replied, lukewarm.

He didn’t harbor any animosity towards Bai Xiaosheng just because he lost a bet.

After all, manners were of utmost importance in Chen Changqing’s eyes.

I will completely defeat you someday and make you surrender willingly! Chen Changqing glanced deeply at Bai Xiaosheng.

This guy really has the patience and clearly doesn’t admit defeat. Bai Xiaosheng smiled.

”Mr. Chen, come on, I’ll take you to meet the newcomers from our company’s film and television department! They are all handsome men and beautiful women. To facilitate interaction, I didn’t reveal my own status, fearing that everyone would be restrained. But it’s different for you, Mr. Chen, you should make it known, after all, you are a top leader,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile.

Chen Changqing glanced at Bai Xiaosheng and snorted coldly.

Bai Xiaosheng was not revealing his identity but was urging him to disclose his, what kind of plan was that!

He wanted those people to respect but keep their distance from him, Chen Changqing.

I won’t fulfill your wish, if you don’t tell, neither will I! Chen Changqing thought.

Bai Xiaosheng led him back.

Just then, they came upon Gao Ya angrily reprimanding Qiuya, ”It’s all been cleared up now, Qiuya. You don’t have anything to say, do you? I advise you to drop out of the competition for the role of the third female lead! I’ll consider it a sign you’ve seen the error of your ways, and if you keep your head down and behave in the company, you can stay on!”

Gao Ya spoke with righteousness in her tone.

Chen Changqing slightly frowned and glanced at Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng had not informed him about such a lively scene.

What drama was being played out here?

”Mr. Chen, you’re late and missed a good show.” Bai Xiaosheng smiled and recounted the events to Chen Changqing in a lowered voice.

Chen Changqing was slightly surprised and looked at these people with some interest. Personally, he was somewhat in favor of Qiuya.

She had goals and was willing to use any means to achieve them. As for right and wrong, justice, and morality, those were the prerogatives of the victor to claim.

If today Qiuya won and even became incredibly popular in the future, who would care whether she had ever been tainted by scandal?

But still, this woman was ultimately too foolish, not even qualified to be put to use by him.

Chen Changqing shook his head inwardly.

He needed capable generals, not fools.

”Gao Ya, don’t you think you’re going a bit too far?” Lu Fanyu, who had until now been silent, suddenly spoke up.

Qiuya retreated behind Lu Fanyu, her panicked expression steadying.

”Up to this point, indeed, there is no evidence to prove that Zhao Xiaoying is behind those acts. But there’s also no evidence to prove Qiuya did them. Your judgement is too arbitrary, it’s not appropriate. Just because you’re Director Gao’s daughter, you get to judge and punish the company’s artists at will? If you’re calling the shots, then when the investors ask about Qiuya, are you going to say the same thing?” With one statement, Lu Fanyu suppressed Gao Ya.

Gao Ya was angry but had no retort.

True, she was Director Gao’s daughter.

But Lu Fanyu carried even more weight than her, much more!

In recent years, Lu Fanyu’s image as a young and trendy idol had won over young people’s adoration, nearly to the point of fervor, compelling even Director Gao to be courteous to this artist under his management.

Moreover, several major investors had invested in this TV drama because of Lu Fanyu, not her, Gao Ya.

Now that Lu Fanyu had spoken up, the bystanders who had been whispering among themselves instantly fell silent.

”What are you suggesting?” Gao Ya asked expressionlessly.

Zhao Xiaoying frowned, also looking at Lu Fanyu.

”My suggestion is that we consider the incident never happened; both Qiuya and Zhao Xiaoying were falsely accused. Why should we make such a fuss about it, right? At the end, let the director, the investors, and the big star Shang Wanwan make the decision about the role,” Lu Fanyu said with a smile.

In front of those big shots, his say was of even greater influence than a director’s, much greater!

With that thought, Lu Fanyu was prideful.

What counted as a director’s daughter!

And what counted as a director!

Dominating the scene, Lu Fanyu glanced at Bai Xiaosheng with a smile that quickly turned cold.

This man had opposed him time and again!

This time, he could not let it pass!

”This matter can be dropped, but he,” Lu Fanyu said with a cold laugh, pointing at Bai Xiaosheng, ”for spouting nonsense and stirring up trouble, should bow and apologize to us!” Lu Fanyu looked over at Chen Changqing beside him.

”And his little homosexual sidekick,” Lu Fanyu scoffed.

Chen Changqing looked at Lu Fanyu as he pointed at him and called him a homosexual, and his face darkened with the gathering storm!

Lu, you are really asking for it! My only fear is that Chen would oppose me when I deal with you.

Now, thank you for solving this problem for me!

Bai Xiaosheng smiled, his smile cold and eerie.

This time, he could not let this popular idol off the hook!

And, it was an opportunity to get involved in the film and television department!
