Chapter 278: 278: How Do You Plan to Solve This?
“Knock, knock.”
When she reached the CEO’s office door, Rong Weiwei raised her hand and knocked on the door.
“Come in.”
A capable and cool female voice came from inside.
She took a deep breath and made sure the smile on her face was without fault before pushing the door open.
As soon as she entered, she obediently and cleverly called out, “Auntie.”
Xin Lanye narrowed her eyes, glanced at her, and responded indifferently, “Have a seat.”
Then she instructed the assistant beside her, “Go pour two cups of coffee and bring them in.”
“Yes, Mr. Xin.”
The assistant quickly stole a glance at Rong Weiwei and scurried out.
Feeling unsure, Rong Weiwei stood still instead of sitting on the sofa and cautiously asked, “Auntie, did you ask to see me because something is the matter?”
The person behind the office desk looked to be in her early forties and was maintained very well. She wore a simple black velvet skirt that showcased her elegance. Hearing the question, Xin Lanye lifted her head and gave a piercing look at the anxious person standing before her, asking directly, “You don’t know why I called you here?”
Rong Weiwei grew even more certain that something had happened. She gave an awkward smile and said, “I truly don’t know why you wanted to see me, Auntie. Has something happened?”
Xin Lanye raised an eyebrow, leaned back in her leather chair, interlaced her fingers on the desk, and looked sharply at her, “Hmm. You don’t know? I think you’re clearer about it than anyone else.”
“Auntie, I really don’t understand what you’re talking about.” Rong Weiwei, even if she wanted to please the person in front of her, had to restrain the smile from her face for her own dignity.
Xin Lanye had never thought much of her, and now seeing her lowly attitude, she found her even more distasteful, “Fine. If you don’t know, then I’ll tell you one thing at a time!”
“Is it you who asked Mufeng to invest in your film?”
Rong Weiwei’s heart skipped a beat, she opened her mouth, about to deny it.
Xin Lanye immediately interrupted her, continuing, “I won’t quibble with you over Director Stephen’s movie for now. I’m just asking you now, you induced Mufeng to get involved in your mess, causing a city-wide uproar. Now Nick Studio in conjunction with KT Entertainment has sued both you and Mufeng, how do you plan to solve this?”
Rong Weiwei abruptly looked at her, unable to believe what she had just heard.
Seeing her reaction, Xin Lanye realized that she probably didn’t know about the lawsuit from Rong Yan, and her irritation rose, her expression turning grim, “It seems you are still unaware? I received the news right after I got off the plane, that Mufeng was being sued, for defamation. When I checked online, the situation seemed even more sensational than I had imagined! Let me make it clear to you; ever since you and Mufeng started dating, I haven’t been in favor of you. Mufeng likes you, and I haven’t interfered with your relationship.
But this time, for the sake of slinging mud at Rong Yan and causing such a big mess, you not only used Mufeng but dragged him down with you. I have to step in. Now tell me, as Mufeng’s girlfriend, you’ve caused such a big issue and even gotten him sued with you. How do you plan to handle it?”
When faced so directly with disdain, Rong Weiwei dug her nails deep into her flesh but forced an apologetic expression, quickly stating, “Auntie, don’t worry, I will have them drop the lawsuit on the other side and ensure this does not affect Mufeng’s image.”
Xin Lanye didn’t believe her for a second, “You can get Rong Yan to drop the lawsuit?”
