Chapter 52 - 52: Li Ze’s Arrival
“What are you doing here?!” A male voice sounded, instantly shocking everyone.
Everyone looked towards the source of the voice. It was Li Ze, he was rushing over.
Behind Li Ze was an anxious-looking Chen Sheng.
It turned out that a staff member had secretly called Chen Sheng.
After Li Ze ended the meeting, Chen Sheng informed him of this matter as soon as possible. The two of them rushed over the moment the meeting ended.
Once Li Ze came over, Zhang Ying started to panic.
Zhang Ying thought that Li Ze was only interested in Pei Xin because she had a timid appearance.
She had been by Li Ze’s side for three years, and her feelings for him were definitely deeper than Pei Xin’s.
Zhang Ying walked up to Li Ze and tried to hold his arm affectionately.
Immediately, Li Ze slapped Zhang Ying hard on the face.
Zhang Ying covered her face, dumbfounded.
“How dare you hit me?” She stared at Li Ze blankly.
Li Ze’s face darkened. “If you dare to touch her, you’ll have an outcome way worse than this.”
Chen Sheng also started to chase away the surrounding staff. “Show’s over. Don’t you all have work to do?”
Everyone hurriedly left, but they still perked up their ears, trying to hear anything that came through.
Zhang Ying covered her face and looked at Li Ze in disbelief.
“I’ve been with you for three years. She’s just your assistant. I came here to talk to her. I didn’t do anything, there’s no proof. You hit me.
“Li Ze, I’ve been showing my love to you for the past three years. Are you going to let me down like this?”
“If I didn’t throw money and resources at you,” Li Ze said coldly, “You would still be a trainee. You wouldn’t even have the chance to debut.”
He pinched Zhang Ying’s chin with one hand, his eyes burning with hatred. “If you didn’t look like her, how do you think you could catch my eye?”
Zhang Ying’s eyes widened, unable to digest what Li Ze had just said.
“What do you mean? What do you mean 1 look like her?” Zhang Ying pointed at Pei Xin, her face full of shock. “She’s cowardly and lowly. She’s been in prison and didn’t even finish university. What do you mean I’m like her?!”
Li Ze slapped Zhang Ying again.
“She got into a famous university, and you got into the worst university. What right do you have to compete with her?
“She was wrongly accused of being imprisoned. She was the one who was envied. What right do you have to blame her for this?
“You’re just a pet that 1 want to raise when I’m in a good mood. Do you really think you’re better than her?”
As he spoke, Li Ze took out a tissue and wiped his hands.
He looked coldly at the two assistants standing behind Zhang Ying.
“Take Zhang Ying away. If I see her in my company again, she can forget about staying in the entertainment industry.”
Zhang Ying wanted to say something more, but she was stopped by her two assistants.
The two assistants bowed and apologized to Li Ze before quickly taking Zhang Ying away.
After this incident, Li Ze’s employees realized Pei Xin’s position in Li Ze’s heart.
The employees who had scolded Pei Xin previously were now trembling in fear, afraid that Pei Xin would rat them out later.
When Li Ze looked at Pei Xin again, his gaze became gentle.
Pei Xin was still cowering and trembling on the ground.
Li Ze did not dare to touch her again. He just stood beside her and said softly, “Don’t be afraid. I’ve already chased away the bad guys. No one else can hurt you. It’s my fault. I didn’t take good security measures. I’ll arrange bodyguards by your side in the future.”
Under Li Ze’s comforting words, Pei Xin slowly stopped trembling.
She looked up at Li Ze and whispered, “T-thank… You…”
Now that the situation has settled, Li Ze no longer wanted Pei Xin in the company. He personally sent Pei Xin to the apartment.
Meanwhile, Chen Sheng stayed behind to warn the people in the company that no one could accuse Pei Xin in the future. If they were found out, they would be fired immediately.
Li Ze realized that after he got home, Pei Xin had been sitting quietly on the sofa and did not take the initiative to talk to him. This made Li Ze feel a little worried. He would rather Pei Xin blame him than stay silent.
Li Ze sat next to Pei Xin and said gently, “Zhang Ying was just a plaything that 1 had a moment of interest in. 1 don’t like her at all. She can’t be compared to you. You have all my heart..”
