Chapter 615: Offended The Lady Boss
“That’s not necessary.” Song Shijing interrupted her. “It’s going to be a lot of trouble to do a replacement. Wouldn’t it be easier to just quit the compet.i.tion? Then we won’t have to waste everyone’s time.”
When Meng Meimei heard this, she beamed with joy. It seemed like this gentleman was going to help her.
There was nothing strange about this. She was a special guest on this variety show, so naturally, these people would side with her.
“Thank you—”
“Then please leave now, Miss Meng. Don’t disturb the program anymore.” Song Shijing interrupted Meng Meimei with a mocking expression.
The smile on Meng Meimei’s face gradually disappeared, and her eyes were filled with disbelief. She even thought she had heard wrongly. “What?”
“Am I not clear? Miss Meng! You’ve been replaced! And you will face a ban!”
The manager and Meng Meimei turned pale.
Meng Meimei was stunned for a few seconds before she started laughing maniacally. “Are you kidding me? What right do you have to replace me? What right do you have to ban me? I’m under Gu Corporation. What right do you have to ban me?”
“Yes, I don’t have the right…” Song Shijing smiled. “But our president does.”
He bowed slightly to invite the man behind him to step forward. At this moment, Gu Zheng slowly raised his eyes, his sharp gaze sweeping across the crowd. His body was surrounded by a cold aura. He seemed to have descended among the crowd like a G.o.d.
Meng Meimei’s manager had never met Gu Zheng before, but Song Shijing had called him the president. Her heart sank.
“Who’s your president?” Meng Meimei still didn’t realize the danger she was in and questioned arrogantly.
“President Gu Zheng.”
When this name was mentioned, everyone’s breathing stopped. Meng Meimei’s eyes widened as she looked at the man in front of her in fear. Her voice trembled slightly as she said, “T-This…”
Meng Meimei’s manager was the first to react. She immediately cried and begged for mercy. “President Gu, please give Meimei another chance. She shouldn’t have made things difficult for the newcomer. She already knows her mistake. We’ll withdraw from this program now. Please spare her. She’ll remember this lesson, but the ban… The ban…
“No matter what, Meimei is still an A-list celebrity. She’s outstanding in all aspects, and the company has spent a lot of money on her. If we ban her now, it won’t be good for the company either…”
This was the first time Meng Meimei had seen her manager begging for help. She finally realized that she had offended someone she shouldn’t have.
Her eyes were filled with remorse, and tears streamed down her cheeks.
“President Gu! I really know my mistake now. Please give me a chance!”
Meng Meimei ran to Gu Zheng and begged him in a humble manner.
Gu Zheng, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly sneered and said in a low voice, “Miss Meng, you said that you know your mistake. Do you know what you did wrong, then?”
“I… I was wrong. I shouldn’t have made things difficult for the newbie. I shouldn’t have embarra.s.sed the company and you!”
“So… you think you’ve offended me?” Gu Zheng raised an eyebrow, his eyes full of disdain.
Meng Meimei’s face turned pale. Wasn’t that the case?
Qiao Xi shook her head helplessly. It seemed like Gu Zheng was going to use his skills to humiliate his newest victim again.
As expected, Gu Zheng’s thin lips parted slightly. “No, the person you offended isn’t me. It’s Mrs. Gu.”
Mrs. Gu?
Meng Meimei was confused. She didn’t even know Mrs. Gu, so how could she have offended her? She came to the show today just to teach Qiao Xi a lesson. Who knew that Qiao Xi would coincidentally wear a purple gown as well, so…
Wait! Mrs. Gu? Qiao Xi?
Meng Meimei looked up abruptly, her face filled with disbelief.
Could it be that… Mrs. Gu was…
How was this possible?! Didn’t Xu Anran say that Qiao Xi grew up in the countryside and was an ignorant idiot? If she had known that Qiao Xi was Mrs. Gu, she wouldn’t have dared to target her own lady boss!
Qiao Xi slowly walked in front of her and said in a low voice, “Have you ever thought about why Xu Anran didn’t personally take action if I’m really just the daughter of the Xu family who has led a wandering life? Why did she come to you and complain about me instead? It’s because she can’t defeat me, so she used you to deal with me.”
Meng Meimei’s body trembled as cold sweat seeped out of her back.
