President Mo: Need to Work Hard

40

Han Ruoxue turned around and looked at the entrance to the meeting room. At the same time, Han Yufan and Mo Yurou also stared at the door angrily. Who did everything ruin this time for them?

Mo Yurou felt her heart was about to explode from anger. It wasn't easy to get rid of Tangning, yet who would have thought, 'the grasshopper was stalking a cricket, but behind them was stalking oriole*'. He was surprised that someone else was trying to challenge them.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was intense. At this moment, the meeting room door opened and entered a beautiful figure that attracted everyone's attention.

Tangning's!

This is actually Tangning!

It's Tangning again!

Han Ruoxue clenched her fists; she never thought Tangning would be able to convince Mina to retract her words. Mo Yurou and Han Yufan stood up in shock simultaneously.

This is impossible, Tangning has already been eliminated. How did he make the Secret change his mind?

"After careful consideration, everyone at Secret has decided to use Tangning as our model," Mina announced in front of the people in the room. He then gave the trio a trivial look, "As I know, he is also a model from Tianyi, but why do I feel you are not happy at all. Could it be that Tangning isn't actually a model? yours?"

"Tangning, what scheme are you using? Why did you have to steal my front cover?" Mo Yurou couldn't contain her anger as she questioned Tangning.

"Your front cover?" Tangning maintained her smile, not allowing anyone to see through her emotions, "You used my popularity to go abroad, under the guise of sharing the stage; you used me to create a discussion topic to distract the public from your scandal; as soon as we arrived in the US, you got rid of me after I was no longer useful; You slandered me in front of clients and faked my portfolio. So, tell me, how is this front cover yours?"

"I just take back what belongs to me and restore the justice I deserve."

"You used your background to trample me to your advantage, while I used my own ability to take my front cover. I didn't steal from anyone, but, I won't let anyone else step on me. - it's that simple."

Every word that came out of Tangning's mouth was clear and precise - full of power. Making Mina, who was initially misunderstood, look at him in awe.

What a strong character!

"Tangning, I've said it before, this is the most important time for Mo Yurou. Everyone in Tianyi must help him get through this hurdle." Han Yufan verbally attacked Tangning angrily, "Can you not be so selfish?"

"The reason he faces obstacles is because of you. I've said it before, no matter how much you want to support her, I have no opinion and no care, but.if she wants to advance by stepping on me, I'll just make her fall miserably."

"Tangning, Mina mentioned .. as long as you say it, Yurou can still participate in the Secret photo shoot. She doesn't have much time left, she'll soon take part in the Top Ten Model Awards."

"Why should I agree? If he is having trouble, that's the problem, why should I help him? Is there a law for that?" Tangning asked in an amused tone. "Isn't Ruoxue Jie really capable? Get him a job with another magazine..."

"Tangning, don't go too far," Han Ruoxue stomped her feet furiously.

Mina could not be bothered to continue watching the Tianyi people fighting with each other. He gently patted Tangning on the shoulder and said, "Tangning, I'll wait outside. Tell me your decision after half an hour. Whether it will be a solo shoot or a photo shoot with you and Mo Yurou, you decide."

"Thank you, Mina," Tangning nodded. It was a good time, as he had more things to say that were uncomfortable to say in front of outsiders.

"I've asked some bodyguards to stand guard at the door, if anyone wants to do something to you, just yell."

"This is not how you treat someone you asked her for help from .." Tangning said firmly to Han Ruoxue. "What your brother has done, I'm sure you already know. In this industry, it is clear that the strong get all the support, while the weak are trampled. I know it doesn't matter what I tell you. Since we both hate each other's looks, what's the point of working together? You have to beg others."

Han Ruoxue's eyes were red, but at this moment, there was nothing she could do.

After all, he was the manager of a different company. The fact that he was helping Tianyi was already in breach of his contract; he couldn't help Mo Yurou out in the open.

Plus, the opportunities do not come easily.

So, she had no choice but to soften her tone, "Tell me what you want, Tangning, if you go too far, the two of us won't benefit from it."

"Mo Yurou said I stole something of hers."

"No, Mo Yurou needs your guidance," Han Ruoxue clenched her teeth as she responded to Tangning. In reality, she desperately wanted Tangning to disappear immediately.

Tangning also felt the same way towards him. However, this provocation from the people in front of him, made him understand, if he could not negotiate with them, he would have to make a choice to benefit himself. So, after taking a quick look at Mo Yurou's defiant expression, she raised her eyebrows and said, "I'll give Mo Yurou a chance."

"Speak," Han Ruoxue said as she held back her anger.

“I want Tianyi promise from now on, with whom I work, will be decided by me personally. In other words, I will take whatever job I want, Tianyi has no right to intervene. They also have no right to arrange. for jobs I disagree with," Tangning said straightforwardly.

"That's impossible," Han Ruoxue firmly stated, "What's the difference with canceling your contract or opening a private studio?"

"You can reject it, after all, in the end, I will still make it happen. But, are you sure, Mo Yurou can continue waiting?"

Han Ruoxue glanced at Han Yufan. The two of them looked down and pondered for a moment. In the end, Han Ruoxue told Tangning: "At most, I can only allow you to voice your opinion. In other words, we will not arrange the work for you without your knowledge. With respect to your client's choice, the company definitely needs to be controlled, otherwise, if you randomly choose to work with an anonymous low-cost company, what will happen to our company's reputation?"

"Tangning, no artist can step on top of their company's head."

"The company can be in control, but...I need all the higher-ups to be present whenever a decision is made because I no longer trust Han Yufan."

"Other companies provide their artists with the best resources. I'm not expecting you to do that for me, I just don't want you to interfere. One more thing ... Don't tie Mo Yurou into everything."

Han Ruoxue sneered. She didn't believe Tangning was capable of so much, all of this was just a hasty decision. After Mo Yurou's status was raised, Tianyi would have no trouble anymore defaming Tangning. When the time came, she would create trouble for Tangning that she was sure Tangning would not be able to get out of her.

So he agreed - right now, this was the best decision he could make.

Since he couldn't directly step over Tangning, all he could do was make her share the stage with Mo Yurou. He couldn't wait to see, with a top manager like himself, whether Tangning could be better than Mo Yurou.

"I agree," Han Ruoxue replied as she nodded her head.
