Chapter 25: Slapping Face

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

They swallowed their saliva secretly. How much they despised him earlier was how much their faces hurt.

One by one, they were like grandchildren, not daring to utter another word.

On the other side, Miao Ke’er’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Her eyes were fixed on the assistant who had called her father.

Just wait; I’ll slap this face back! I must hit back! I’ll hit back hard!

Wasn’t it just one billion?

Her family had that too!

However, her father replied, “Are you crazy? One billion is not 100 or 200 million yuan. Only a fool would invest that much! Isn’t it just a female lead? Forget it!”

Forget it?

Miao Ke’er almost staggered!

She had been slapped in the face!

It was just one billion yuan, wasn’t it? Her family didn’t lack the money, and they wouldn’t necessarily incur losses in the current market!

However, her father was very determined. If he said no, it meant no.

Miao Ke’er gritted her teeth in anger!

Little did she know that her father had admitted defeat because the Shen family had intervened.

The Shen family was also one of the four largest families in South City. Apart from the Feng family, which was ranked first, the Shen family had initially been on par with the Qi family and the Miao family; in fact, the Shen family might have been slightly inferior to them. But now, even the Feng family had to step aside.

The word was that there was a big shot backing them, and he seemed to be from the capital.

How could Miao Linsong dare offend them?

But even without the Shen family, he wouldn’t dare fight Lu Xiao head-on.

Lu Xiao was new money; he had always treated money like dirt. It was common for him to spend money like a beggar or an emperor.

However, he was getting richer and richer, which was indeed enough to make the upper circles of South City green with envy!

However, no one dared to learn from him, nor could they learn from him. If they were careless, they might end up bankrupt.

Therefore, Miao Linsong’s refusal was straightforward. He was planning for the long term.

But Miao Ke’er couldn’t understand that!

She could only let herself be slapped in the face.

It was so painful that it was bleeding, yet Xiang Quqi still had to sprinkle salt on it!

“Miss Miao, you heard everything?

“Regarding the investment from your father’s company, we will return it back to you immediately with interest. We will not let your father lose anything.

“Of course, I’ll have to trouble you to settle the service fee for ordering our production team around in the last few days, when your assistants insisted we book a presidential suite for you and find a chef who would be on standby 24 hours.

“You might have been born into a prestigious family and have been pampered since you were young, but that has nothing to do with the people in the production team who rely on their own labor to earn money. Do you think we’re your slaves?”

Xiang Quqi’s lip curled up slightly. He had never felt so refreshed and invigorated before!

Indeed, it felt good to have the upper hand!

This was all thanks to Mr. Lu and his daughter!

Miao Ke’er wrung her delicate fingers together as she looked at Xiang Quqi with teary eyes. “Director Xiang, must you do this? action

“It’s just that my assistants are worried that I’ll be allergic if I wear that dress. I didn’t say that I wouldn’t wear it. You’re too…”

“Enough!” Did she really think that he didn’t know that she was the king of photoshop?

Even her clothes had to be photoshopped frame by frame. Directors she had worked with before didn’t dare to say much, but Xiang Quqi was different!

He was really speechless, and said directly, “That has nothing to do with this or anyone.

“If it were me, I wouldn’t have chosen you as the female lead to begin with, because you’re not suitable for it!”
