Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 309: Chapter 309 Mr. Cui Calls_1

Bai Xiaosheng and Chen Changqing brushed past each other, their faces expressionless.

Lin Weiwei felt incredibly ashamed and annoyed, she snatched up the contract and, with a look of sorrowful anger, glanced at Shang Wanwan and others before hurrying after Bai Xiaosheng. Passing by Chen Changqing and his group, she let out a heavy snort of contempt and strode away.

”Lin Weiwei, Mr. Chen is right here, what kind of attitude is that!” Lin Beichen rebuked.

Lin Weiwei ignored him completely.

”Rebellious, truly rebellious!” Lin Beichen said angrily.

”Forget it, forget it, why get upset over a little girl.” Chen Changqing said with a beaming smile.

He was happy, incredibly so.

Hadn’t he just seen how unpleasant Bai Xiaosheng’s face looked? The uglier Bai Xiaosheng looked, the better he felt.

Asking for help? This was called having connections!

Did you, Bai Xiaosheng, have it?

Just a commoner, you have the ability, so find someone to help you!

Chen Changqing sat down in front of Shang Wanwan, still wearing a smile on his face, his steps light and casual.

”Mr. Chen, you must be pleased now,” said Shang Wanwan with a hand over her mouth, chuckling.

”No, no, no!” Chen Changqing laughed as he shook his head, ”What’s the use of only seeing him like this? I want the whole company to know that he’s lost again! That it was me, Chen Changqing, who signed the deal with Miss Shang!”

Having said that, Chen Changqing glanced at Lin Beichen, ”Mr. Lin, don’t just stand around here. You know what to do!”

”Understood, understood!” Lin Beichen said excitedly, his smile tinged with a trace of viciousness, as he turned and hurried away.

Before the workday was over, everyone in the company would know that Bai Xiaosheng had failed again, which made for a hot topic of discussion!

By comparison, Mr. Chen’s successful signing would certainly amaze them!

Lin Beichen couldn’t wait to spread the word.

Yu Qing and Murong Yan exchanged smiles, walked over, and stood behind Chen Changqing.

Chen Changqing turned and flashed a smile at Shang Wanwan, ”My apologies for causing Miss Wanwan to see such a spectacle.”

”Not at all,” Shang Wanwan smiled.

She had seen too much of this kind of internal strife. Especially in their circles— even Shang Wanwan herself had eliminated quite a few competitors. If this made her ”smile,” what would be the difference between her and the pot calling the kettle black?

”We should just sign the contract quickly. When Mr. Song arrives, it’ll be a surprise for him too,” Shang Wanwan said with a smile.

”Good.” Chen Changqing gestured, and Murong Yan passed a contract to Shang Wanwan.

...

Lin Weiwei’s pace was harried as she tried desperately to catch up, not caring about the several centimeter high heels she was wearing.

She was worried that Bai Xiaosheng might have taken a blow to his confidence.

However, when she caught up to Bai Xiaosheng, Lin Weiwei was taken aback. She saw that Bai Xiaosheng was actually in the mood to play with his phone, looking completely at ease.

”Mr. Bai, are you okay?” Lin Weiwei asked cautiously.

It wasn’t appropriate for her to call him Xiaosheng in public.

”Chen really gave me a lesson today,” Bai Xiaosheng said to her with a smile.

”Ah?” Lin Weiwei was confused by his smile.

”It turns out asking for help isn’t something to be ashamed of, it’s called having strong connections,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a laugh, shaking his phone and moving forward.

This is it, our Mr. Bai is in shock!

Lin Weiwei was panic-stricken.

...

In the third meeting room, Shang Wanwan’s agent quickly glanced through the contract.

After a few minutes, she handed the contract to Shang Wanwan, nodding to indicate that there were no problems.

”Good,” Miss Shang said with an elegant smile, pulling out a pen and moving to the signature line. Just as she had written a dot, and under the gaze of Chen Changqing and the others, the phone beside her started to buzz insistently.

Initially, Miss Shang didn’t pay much attention to it, but her agent took a glance at it and his expression changed drastically, quickly pushing the phone towards her.

The typically composed and smiling gaze of Miss Shang suddenly paused, and she laid down the pen and hurriedly picked up the phone.

”I’m sorry, this is a call from the company, I need to take it first!” Miss Shang hastily excused herself, then rushed to a corner of the large conference room to answer the call.

Chen Changqing was mildly surprised.

”It’s the boss of Xingchen Media,” her agent said in a low voice, explaining to Chen Changqing.

Xingchen Media was a multinational company. Unlike Zhongjing Media, they operated only in the film and music industries, and were a formidable enterprise with strong capabilities. Compared to Zhongjing Media, they were the true behemoths.

Shang Wanwan was a contract artist under Xingchen’s banner.

”The boss of Xingchen personally called Miss Shang? It seems that Miss Wanwan’s status in the company is prestigious!” Chen Changqing exclaimed in amazement.

No wonder Song Changkong had personally accompanied her, and no wonder his uncle, too, wasn’t hesitant about proceeding with mutually beneficial cooperation; they believed this marked the beginning of establishing relations with Xingchen.

Chen Changqing gained a deeper understanding of Miss Shang.

It seemed that after this, he would have to establish a closer connection with Shang Wanwan.

This was indeed a rare resource.

...

In a corner of the large conference room, Shang Wanwan’s back was turned away from Chen Changqing and the rest.

Her face, usually calm and composed, was now filled with earnest fear.

To the outside world, she was an esteemed rising star in the film industry, a leading figure among young actors.

But she knew that within Xingchen Media, being ranked in the top ten domestically was already quite good, and that was just among the newcomers. Xingchen was an international company, with contracted artists overseas who were tens to hundreds of times more famous than she was.

This time, the boss himself had called her.

Amidst her astonishment, she couldn’t help but feel a tremble and excitement.

”Mr. Cui, you personally called me, is there something wrong?” Miss Shang asked with utmost respect and in the gentlest voice she could muster, cautiously inquiring.

”Wanwan, are you in Zhongjing, at a company called Zhongjing Media?” Mr. Cui’s voice was very calm on the other end, but it carried an immense authority.

With a single word, he could confer splendor and wealth, or strip them away entirely.

To someone like Mr. Cui, it was probably just that level of influence.

”Yes.” Even through the phone, Shang Wanwan felt overwhelmed by trepidation.

What shocked her was that Mr. Cui actually paid attention to where she was.

”Did you refuse to sign with a certain Bai Xiaosheng, Mr. Bai?” The next sentence struck like a thunderbolt, exploding in her ears.

Miss Shang’s beautiful eyes suddenly widened to their full extent.

How did Mr. Cui know about Bai Xiaosheng! And that she had just refused to sign with Bai Xiaosheng!

That was impossible!

In her view, there was a vast chasm between Mr. Cui and Bai Xiaosheng, one akin to an exalted god and the other like a nameless commoner. How could there possibly be any connection between them, it just couldn’t be!

”Are you referring to Bai Xiaosheng?” Miss Shang asked, mustering all her strength.

Under normal circumstances, she would never dare to ask the boss to repeat himself, but in such a frightened state, she had forgotten her trepidation.

”That’s right, Bai Xiaosheng, the deputy head of Zhongjing Media!” Mr. Cui’s voice carried a hint of chill, ”Do you know who he is? You actually refused him! He is a friend of our young miss! You Shang Wanwan, what right do you have to toy with him!”

As if struck by a huge thunderbolt, Miss Shang was left utterly shocked by his words, her voice trembling, ”Which, which young miss?”

”Which other young miss could there be? Shang Wanwan, if you don’t handle this matter well, I will ensure you never work in this industry again!”
