At a rich business cocktail party.
Due to an invitation from an elder, Mo Ting tended to attend. Since she knew Tangning didn't like a place like this, she ended up coming alone.
As for the rumors about Tangning guarding the ghosts, no one could provide any evidence, so Hai Rui did everything they could to contain her.
Inside a luxurious country club like a palace, glasses of red wine were stacked high. At an event like this, almost all of the best business talents in Beijing are gathered. So among the crowd, Mo Ting was only considered average.
In terms of status and seniority, only his father and grandfather would be present to horrendous the place. Of course, Mo Ting never liked being compared to others, even if the people present dealt with billions of dollars.
"President Mo, lately you've been the talk of the town," someone brought a glass of wine to start the conversation. Her words seemed to contain a deeper meaning as she looked at Mo Ting with ridicule.
Mo Ting smiled and replied, "I heard your daughter is a big fan of one of my boy bands. If you need my help, feel free to ask, no need to be polite."
In other words, he said that the boy's daughter was so crazy that everyone had heard of her. So, he shouldn't act top class!
The man smiled awkwardly, "It seems, no one can be halfway with President Mo."
"I haven't completely won either," Mo Ting also smiled.
"Why isn't your wife here?"
"She likes peace and quiet," Mo Ting replied directly.
"On the other hand, President Shao has said some interesting things about the entertainment industry. Perhaps President Mo wanted to go and take a look," the man pointed to the courtyard suggestively.
"I'll leave," Mo Ting turned around and walked towards the courtyard. As he approached, he saw several women surrounding President Shao as well as several men persuading.
"Hey, President Shao, I heard raising ghosts has a price. Some people are obviously not destined to be stars, yet they insist on changing their fate, so of course it has its price for themselves and/or even their families. . It's terrifying," said a woman wearing a short black dress as she stood beside President Shao while holding a glass of wine.
"I know, right? That's why I got out of there as fast as I could...To be honest..." President Shao sneered and continued, "if it wasn't for Hai Rui, I wouldn't have accepted it in the first place."
"President Shao, it's best that you hold your voice. President Mo is also here today," a slightly wealthy woman laughed.
"Even if President Mo were here, I wouldn't be afraid. This is the business world; connections should only be used appropriately..." President Shao laughed. "Time will tell you that my decision was correct ..."
"No matter how long it takes, a foolish decision will never be the right one. Time lacked the ability to make someone smarter," Mo Ting's voice echoed from behind the group.
Everyone jumped in fear as an awkward atmosphere struck.
When talking about someone behind their back, the most feared thing was to be caught off guard.
"President Mo ..."
President Shao retracted his arrogance a moment ago and suddenly became a little restrained.
"I have a feeling your entire production will end tonight, do you believe me?" Mo Ting's lips curved upwards as he raised his glass towards President Shao.
"President Mo, you ..."
"Don't you say my wife keeps ghosts? If he nurtures ghosts, then I should also have some tricks up my sleeve, right? I predict that the 'Hidden Expert' will end tonight, do you believe me?"
President Shao's expression stiffened as he alternated between red and white, "President Mo, your words are a bit harsh."
"Are your rumors about my wife not rude?"
"It's a media job ..."
"Mo Ting .. if you talk like this, things won't look good between us." After speaking, President Shao stood up from his seat and the atmosphere grew increasingly heated.
At this time, a graceful woman wearing white qipao approached the two men and asked Mo Ting, "What's going on here?"
"Auntie, there are some personal issues that we have to deal with."
"As long as nothing is wrong," the graceful woman nodded her head and walked away. Afterwards, Mo Ting said calmly, "I'm sure President Shao is familiar with the woman who just left? It was Bei Chendong's mother, but ..." Mo Ting's eyes carried several layers of danger as he glared at President Shao for a while, "...did I ever tell you that Bei Chendong is my cousin?"
President Shao's eyes widened in shock as his heart nearly jumped out of his chest...
"President Shao is right. In the business world, connections should be used appropriately.so, I wish you the best." After speaking, Mo Ting turned around and left. Letting President Shao freeze in his place, unsure of what to do.
'The 'Hidden Burner' was designed with Bei Chendong in mind. If things changed with Bei Chendong, then everything he invested would be for naught...
He was originally supposed to make a huge profit ...
But now...
President Shao wiped his face with regret as he blamed himself for being stupid. She should have known something was off when Mo Ting agreed to replace Tangning so easily. However, he did not take the warning and went to provoke the tiger; digging his own grave.
Did he really sit idly by as all his resources sank to the bottom of the sea?
After careful thought, President Shao suddenly chased after Mo Ting, "President Mo, can we have a chat? I know I was wrong. Otherwise, you won't hold me accountable."
Mo Ting brushed aside President Shao's sticky hands and said coldly, "You can insult me, but you mustn't insult my wife."
After speaking, Mo Ting lifted his arm and looked at the watch on his wrist, "At this time, the press conference should start."
President Shao's face turned pale. After Mo Ting left, he pulled out his phone and quickly contacted his assistant.
On the other end of the phone, his assistant said frantically, "President Shao, Bei Chendong has used a recent accident as an excuse to back out of the movie. Hurry up, look at the news ..."
...
Bei Chendong rarely received interviews because of his strange personality. But, as a national treasure actor, every time he opened his mouth, everyone would be convinced by him - because he could never be bothered to lie.
"The incident this time was made by someone in the production crew. In fact, that staff member is still at large and being chased by the police."
"As for me. I wasn't involved by Tangning. I saved him because it was a normal male response."
"Who would have thought, someone would deliberately use this accident to create such a ridiculous rumor. It's really intolerable."
"Everything about Tangning guarding ghosts and engaging in witchcraft is really rubbish."
"So, I, Bei Chendong - in a state the crew was unable to provide a satisfactory explanation and could not guarantee my safety - have decided to officially announce my withdrawal from the 'Hidden Expert'."
"Film fans, whether you want to trust the production crew or me, please consider carefully ..."
Bei Chendong's words directly ...
They're always straight like this...
So, how could the fans possibly trust the production crew?
