Chapter 74 - Silent treatment trick doesn't work everytime

"Wake up you f**ker!" Zhao Liying kicked Mo Liang after throwing away her phone.

"Huh...? What happened? Why do you have to be so brutal? I was asleep. Why..." He fell silent when his eyes fell on a Jing Lihua with her arms crossed over her chest. "Am I still dreaming?" Mo Liang rubbed his eyes and sat straight. "How did she find out we were here?"

"Why do you care? Just go back to sleep." Zhao Liying was still angry. Only if Mo Liang had woken up earlier she could have come up with a better excuse on the phone.

"Can I?" Mo Liang gleamed.

"You can if you don’t want to wake up again." Zhao Lying threatened. She didn’t want to be the one left to give an explanation to Jing Lihua. Mo Liang was better at this thing. She knew if she tried to explain, she would end up only messing things further.

"Fine." Mo Liang flashed his signature smile at Jing Lihua. "Why are you standing outside Jing Lihua? Come in. It’s very cold out." He generously offered. However, his smile might melt the hearts of countless females but unfortunately for him, Jing Lihua was not one of them.

She didn’t move.

"Why do I feel scared?" Zhao Liying nudged away from Jing Lihua.

"Relax. It’s just a silent treatment trick she has learnt from her grandfather. No need to feel threatened." Though Mo Liang said that in a cheerful voice, he himself was feeling a bit nervous inside. This silent treatment method of this grandfather and daughter pair was surely very effective.

Finally, Jing Lihua sighed and climbed into the van. "Quick to the fashion show. We don’t have much time." She ordered the driver.

"Are you not going to demand an explanation?" Mo Liang cautiously asked.

"I don’t need to. I have already guessed what had happened. Just let me give you a reminder. t mustn’t happen again." Jing Lihua gave off an aura of a tyrant. "I might overlook it but President Li might not."

"Why do I feel like you are getting more and more matured and collected?" Zhao Liying smiled widely.

"Don’t try to butter me up. I’m not going to give your manager an excuse for your absence this time. You were here because of your own decision. I had nothing to do with that."

Zhao Liying felt cold. How did Jing Lihua immediately understood her intention? "We were here because we were worried about you." Zhao Liying argued her way back to the fashion show. Once they arrived, Zhao Liying hurriedly went for her dressing room while Jing Lihua walked her way to the tenth floor.

Once Jing Lihua arrived at the floor, she was suddenly surrounded by hushed whispers. She frowned and looked around. People would look at her whisper behind her back but once she looked at them they would shut up and go back to acting as nothing happened. ’Now what is this new drama?’

An acquaintance walked to her with a glass."Ms. Jing, you look pretty today."

"Thank you, Mr Liu." Jing Lihua accepted the glass. "Can you tell me what is this all about?" Jing Lihua glanced around indicating the strange atmosphere.

"I’m surprised, you haven’t known it yet."

"I was busy last night."

"Do you recall the famous perfume brand that was invited yesterday? They intended to choose their spokesman. It was rumored all across the social media that the role will go to Su Lanfen. Even Su Lanfen had made a post saying that she’ll be getting the role for sure. And so it happened. Strangely, they quickly signed the contract with her yesterday after her performance. That was out of ordinary. Su Lanfen fans claimed that her performance was fabulous that she won their heart. But guess what happened this morning?" Mr. Liu laughed.

"They canceled the contract?" Jing Lihua lips twitched.

Li Zhiqiang was vicious. First giving happiness then brutally taking it away. The amount of despair it would bring would be a thousand times more than simple rejection. Jing Lihua was sure he would have himself thought of this scheme. She was aware of the other side of the great ’Devil’.

"What does this all have to do with me? Why are all these people whispering behind my back?"

"That’s the exciting part. The perfume brand not only canceled the contract, but it also released a statement saying that it would not accept a ’morally corrupt’ celebratory as its spokesman. First, the word ’morally corrupt’ implied to her incident with you. Su Lanfen company used all its means and had gotten control of the scandal and stopped it from reaching Hong Kong before the fashion show but after the statement by the company, the incident is common knowledge everywhere."

...

In a room, all the people were busy attending countless calls.

Su Lanfen slammed her fists on the table. She looked furious. "Why? They had already agreed to keep me. Why would they change their decision at the last moment?"

"Su Lanfen don’t worry. I doubt it is Zhao Liying or Jing Lihua doing. Let me contact our company lawyer. How could they do this? How could they defame you like this? We’ll sue them and have them take down their statement immediately. Ye Xianxain, tell them we won’t rest until they take down the statement. We’ll also press them to give compensation for causing harm to your reputation. If they don’t we will take legal actions."

"Alright, Manager Xin" Ye Xianxian went to make a call.

"They must know that they can’t mess with a model of our company. We’ll not sit silently and do nothing." Su Lanfen’s manager fixed her glasses and glanced at Su Lanfen.

"Thank you, Manager Xin, for sticking to me at a time like this."

"Don’t mention it." Though her manager showed her sincerity to Su Lanfen, she was actually having thought of abandoning Su Lanfen.

If not for her strong background, she would have already abandoned Su Lanfen. She was impulsive and had a bad temper. She didn’t possess any talent. In fact, her present situation was brought to herself by her own hands. Someone in this field required a better mind and schemes. Su Lanfen was hard to manage.

"I just called them. They rejected to take down the statement!" Ye Xianxian announced.

Su Lanfen’s manager was truly shocked. She hadn’t expected that. "What profit it would bring to them? If they don’t take down the statement, it’ll only bring them the ire of Su Lanfen fans and cause them a loss. Why are they adamant to keep that statement? I can’t understand their motives." She couldn’t understand. In the end, the only conclusion was that it was either Zhao Liying or Jing Lihua doing. "They must have paid something heavily."

Either way, it would take a long time to have the company take down the statement. And Su Lanfen manager never actually intended to file a case against them. She couldn’t get in a legal altercation with them. She just wanted to threaten them. After all the perfume brand had some connections with that Li empire name. She wouldn’t want to get against that.

"Su Lanfen. It seems there is no other choice."

"What do you mean?"

"I suggest you go aboard for some time while I fix everything here."

"Are you being serious?" Su Lanfen couldn’t believe it. Just a moment ago, she was being grateful to her manager and now she wanted to abandon her? It was funny how could people change their attitude in seconds. "Have you forgotten how much my Su family has done for this company?"

"I’m just looking out for you." She kept her righteousness demeanor.

"You..."

Before they could further anymore, one of their workers stumbled in with a very pale face. "M-Manger Xin, something bad happened!"

For Manager Xin, who wanted to discard Su Lanfen and find her escape, something more terrifying awaited.
