Chapter 466: Si Fuqing: Just Wait (2)

Meng Xue bit her lip, “But she’s lucky.”

Si Fuqing was known as a koi for her luck, a fact Meng Xue was well aware of.

“Lucky?” Brother Zhou found the notion even more amusing. “In the face of absolute power, luck is useless. Anyway, this matter doesn’t concern us. We’ll just wait to watch the big news tomorrow.”

The entertainment industry changed too swiftly.

If Tianle Media wanted Si Fuqing gone, it would take no more than half a year for the entertainment industry to completely forget about her.

There was Xu Lingchu, and there was Yun Lan.

“You should focus on breaking into the film and television industry,” Brother

Zhou added. “Follow Teacher Tong closely and become one of the new Four

Great Actresses soon.”

Finally, Meng Xue smiled, “Okay, Brother Zhou.”

Tianle Media took great care this time.

They chose Yi City for the banquet, partly because it was far from MO City and Feng City.

They had seen the fate of Speed Sports.

Ultimately, it was because Speed Sports chose MO City for their headquarters, which alarmed the MO family.

Tianle Media would not follow in Speed Sports’ footsteps.

The president had Manager Luo thoroughly investigate all of Si Fuqing’s personal connections and contact the Zuo family once again.

“Miss Zuo Xianyu,” Manager Luo said respectfully, “Hello, I am the General

Manager of Tianle Media. I apologize for the intrusion. May I confirm that Si

Fuqing has absolutely no association with the Zuo family now?”

Hearing this name, Zuo Xianyu frowned deeply and replied coldly, “She has nothing to do with us, and frankly, I wish she were dead.”

If Tianle Media could ruin Si Fuqing, it would save her the trouble.

Si Fuqing’s luck was indeed extraordinary, surviving even a massive natural disaster like a sea tornado.

Now, her resources in the entertainment industry were skyrocketing,

“I’m relieved to hear that, ” Manager Luo smiled. “If Miss Xianyu would honor us, you could come to Yi City tomorrow to see her sorry state.”

Si Fuqing had indeed pushed away all her backers. Zuo Xianyu responded indifferently, “I will.”

After hanging up, her hand couldn’t help but tremble.

Her gaze fell on a book, and her expression turned extremely ugly.

She had been idling at home these days, not allowed to return to the company.

But Zuo Xianyu dared not go back.

She didn’t even dare tell Zuo Tianfeng or anyone else in the company that she now couldn’t understand even the more advanced project proposals.

She even took out a business management textbook and found that problems she used to solve at a glance now seemed like hieroglyphics to her.

What was happening?

Zuo Xianyu felt an unprecedented fear.

She took a deep breath and booked a flight to Yi City for 2 in the afternoon the next day.

Only by witnessing Si Fuqing’s miserable state could she find some solace.

At five in the afternoon, the banquet began.

Manager Luo and other executives were busy receiving distinguished guests.

Tianle Media’s influence was immense, inviting many people.

Apart from a few domestic tycoons, there were also businessmen from the Western Continent.

“Mr. Hilton,” Manager Luo approached a tall blond man with utmost respect.

“Your presence truly graces us.”

“Your boss sent over some impressive people this time,” Hilton rarely smiled.

“Got anyone else?”

Manager Luo hurriedly handed over an album.

Hilton casually flipped through it, finding everyone far inferior to Si Fuqing.

He stopped only when he reached the end.

“This one’s not bad,” Hilton pointed at a photo, squinting. “She’s not under your company? Why didn’t you send her over?”

Manager Luo looked and realized he was pointing at Jiang Changning, quickly explaining, “She’s under our company, but we just terminated her contract a few days ago.”

Compared to Si Fuqing’s earth-shattering online movements, Jiang Changning was too quiet.

Manager Luo hadn’t taken her seriously.

Given Si Fuqing’s status, she wouldn’t have qualified for this banquet.

After all, this gathering was for tycoons, not a place for a minor celebrity.

“Pretty good,” Hilton nodded, putting the album down. “Send her over first.”

Manager Luo complied, “Mr. Hilton, I’ll contact her right away.” Hilton waved his hand casually.

Manager Luo immediately contacted the staff, “Find out where Jiang Changning is.”

The staff checked some news, “She posted on Weibo today that she’s in YI City, with the culinary competition’s crew. She’s probably there to sign a contract.”

Manager Luo frowned, “Good, we have people there for interviews too. Just bring her over.”

In Yi City, Tianle Media was supreme; no one could resist.

Si Fuqing had the elite lawyers of Xingting and Sang Yanqing, but Jiang Changning’s family were genuine farmers, for three generations.

No threat at all, easy to manipulate.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Yi City.

In a building.

After tasting a dish cooked by Jiang Changning, the planning team was very satisfied.

They hadn’t expected much from a celebrity’s cooking skills, but Jiang Changning’s were on par with real chefs.

The planning team happily signed a contract with her.

Jiang Changning was about to leave, heading downstairs.

A gentle voice called out to her, ‘Miss Jiang?

Jiang Changning turned, slightly startled.

She Imew of Su Yang but was not much of a talker, merely nodding slightly, “Hello, Teacher Su.” Su Yang smiled faintly, “Congratulations on your contract termination. ”

Jiang Changning nodded, “Thank you.”

But she sighed internally.

She and Su Yang both disliked small talk, making the situation somewhat awkward.

She preferred the company of Si Fuqing.

After parting with Su Yang, Jiang Changning went downstairs to the restroom to touch up her makeup.

Just as she took out her lipstick, suddenly, her chest began to heat up.

Her expression changed.

This was the lucky charm Si Fuqing had given her, which she always carried.

But she had never felt this sensation before.

Over time, she had almost forgotten about it.

Why now…

“Bang.”

A loud noise as a bodyguard tripped over a trash can at the entrance, falling into it.

Then, several other bodyguards rushed in.

Simultaneously, a “crack” sounded, faint, heard only by Jiang Changning.

The heat in her chest disappeared.

Danger approached, Jiang Changning remained calm, “You—I‘

She didn’t finish her sentence before feeling a numbness at her neck, losing consciousness instantly.

“Quick, take her,” one bodyguard checked the time. “We’re running out of time. And you, how did you end up in the trash can?” They nearly alerted others.

The bodyguard who fell was just as confused.

Rubbing his head, he limped after the others.

At the exact moment the lucky charm broke, Si Fuqing paused mid-step on the stairs.

Her phone rang then.

It was Su Yang.

“Sister, something’s wrong,” Su Yang’s voice was grave. “Miss Jiang is missing.

It was only a few minutes, and I can’t find her.”

He had remembered something to ask Jiang Changning, so he followed her downstairs, only to be told she hadn’t left the building.

He immediately accessed the surveillance, spotting several tall, muscular bodyguards.

Jiang Changning was a peaceful and unassuming person, the least noticeable in the Starry Sky Girls group.

Only Tianle Media would dare to kidnap someone in broad daylight. Su Yang took a moment, “Big sister, have you arrived at the banquet?” Si Fuqing looked up, her eyes filled with visible ferocity, “Yes, just wait..”
