She found her phone that she had left to the side and proactively made a call to the man who had been contacting her these past few days.
“Beep” The phone had barely rung once when a mechanical female voice came through, “I’m sorry, the number you have dialed is powered off.”
How could it not go through?!
Why would he turn off his phone in the middle of the day!
Qin Xiang’s face suddenly turned very ugly. She sat up from the facial bed, opened the location tracking feature she had hidden on the man’s phone, and, seeing the location, hurriedly changed clothes. Not bothering to finish her facial, she left the beauty salon—
On the other side, after meeting with Huang Youde, Rong Weiwei drove back to HuanYu, her mind in turmoil.
As soon as she walked into HuanYu, her assistant ran up to her quickly, “Vivi, you must hurry to the conference room, the director has been looking for you for a while. But your phone has been off, neither Kaidi nor I could reach you.”
“What happened?” Rong Weiwei sensed her anxiety and felt an ominous premonition in her heart.
The assistant shook her head, looking bewildered, “I don’t know.”
Rong Weiwei furrowed her brows and, without paying any further attention to her assistant, walked towards the HuanYu conference room with full authority, her heels clicking on the ground.
Her status at HuanYu was different from that of the average female star, partly because she had Shi Mufeng, her boyfriend, backing her up, and people tended to give her a bit more respect.
Rong Weiwei pushed open the door of the conference room directly, a shallow smile curling at the corners of her mouth as she interrupted the noise inside, “I apologize for being late.”
Many of HuanYu’s high-level executives were in the conference room. Upon seeing her, all eyes turned to her at once, many looking at her with expressions that seemed both comical and peculiar.
Rong Weiwei noticed that, apart from the executives, there was another unfamiliar face in the conference room.
Upon seeing that person, she walked straight over and greeted him as if she were well-acquainted, “Director Stephen, what brings you here? Is there something the matter?”
Stephen was a forty-something biracial man with distinct features due to his mixed heritage, which made him quite handsome at this age. However, as he got older, his skin was prone to sagging and wrinkles, and the deepening laugh lines added an air of dignity.
As she initiated the conversation, the other party’s reaction was lukewarm, to the point of ignoring her completely and directly addressing HuanYu’s high-level executives, “I have already made my decision. If you all don’t agree, then let’s terminate our collaboration!”
What had been decided that would lead to the termination of a collaboration?
Rong Weiwei was anxious. The biggest project she was currently involved in was as the female lead in Stephen’s new movie. A rift between Stephen and HuanYu would jeopardize her position.
Considering this, she interjected before the executives of HuanYu could speak, “Exactly what has upset you, Director? You have cooperated with HuanYu many times. If there’s something you are dissatisfied with, please let us know so we can discuss it. There’s no need to escalate to the point of terminating our collaboration, don’t you agree?”
Her words made the people in the room look at her even more strangely.
Rong Weiwei too sensed that something was amiss.
A disconcerting thought popped into her mind—could the matter the esteemed director was insisting on be related to her?
Her heart was in turmoil, her mouth opened, but she struggled to think of how to retract her earlier words. Before she could speak, the director standing before her stood up and said in front of her, “Since Miss Rong thinks I can voice my demands, then I want to replace the female lead. Do any of you object to that?”
