Chapter 287: Dominance_2
Although he's a scumbag, he felt inexplicably annoyed when he heard the other party treating his woman like a commodity in a contemptuous transaction.
Li Jing then chuckled and walked up to Yang Liang, under Yang Xiaoxiu's anxious and worried gaze, looking at the opponent's confident, smiling eyes, and said:
"Want to touch my woman...
Do you qualify?"
"You?!"
Yang Liang's pupils shrank, his expression both shocked and angry, surprised that the other party was so merciless and directly insulted him.
While Li Jing glanced at him with no expression and said blandly, "I'll say it one last time, don't touch my woman, whether it's Wei Jia or Xiaoxiu.
Otherwise, you'll soon regret your stupidity."
Li Jing finished speaking, turned around, and pulled Yang Xiaoxiu's small hand to leave.
Initially worried that Li Jing would agree to Yang Liang's proposal, Yang Xiaoxiu breathed a sigh of relief while looking at Li Jing with more adoration and admiration, tightly holding Li Jing's hand as she followed him, her steps becoming lighter.
And Yang Liang, left alone, was flushed, gritting his teeth, laughing in anger:
"It's Li Jing, so young yet so domineering.
Fine, you don't want me to touch your woman?
Wei Jia hasn't completed her resignation process, I'll show you the cost of arrogance in front of me!"
…
"Brother Jing, you won't be retaliated against for tearing into him, will you?"
Yang Xiaoxiu asked worriedly as she stayed close to Li Jing after leaving the movie theater.
"What, you think I can't handle him?"
Li Jing chuckled, turning his head to look at the slightly more mature Yang Xiaoxiu.
Compared to last year, Yang Xiaoxiu was indeed much more refined and prettier, especially with Wen Lan having put much effort into her styling and dressing for movie promotion.
At this moment, Yang Xiaoxiu was under the lights, her eyes clear and lively, her nose straight and petite, her skin white as snow, hinting with a faint pinkish hue, seemingly delicate enough to break at a touch.
Through makeup and attire, Li Jing noticed Yang Xiaoxiu exuded a unique aura from inside, occasionally revealing a touch of fragility and innocence, like a wounded deer hiding in a corner, making one want to provide care and love.
Plus, she's only twenty years old, looking youthful, this endearing aura makes her even more heart-stirring.
Looking at her delicate face, Li Jing couldn't help but lightly pinch her cheeks, his lips curving: "Xiaoxiu, you're getting prettier, no wonder other men are attracted."
Hearing this, Yang Xiaoxiu's expression changed slightly, hurriedly holding onto Li Jing's arm: "No matter how I change, I will always be Brother Jing's person, and Brother Jing will always be my benefactor."
Seeing her nervousness, Li Jing laughed and shook his head: "I'm not blaming you, why are you so tense."
Immediately after, he said goodbye to Wen Lan and the others before leaving the cinema, heading towards the blue sports car parked in the parking lot.
"Do you have any other plans this afternoon?"
Yang Xiaoxiu, always following like an obedient kitten behind Li Jing, immediately replied: "I have an advertisement shoot this afternoon, over in the Tianhai Old City District."
"Already getting advertisement offers so soon?"
Li Jing raised his eyebrows, then bent down and sat in the car: "Send me the specific address, I'll drop you off first, then I'll head back myself."
"Ah no, no need..."
Yang Xiaoxiu quickly shook her head.
Li Jing looked at her puzzled: "Why, you don't want me to drop you off?"
"No, I..." Yang Xiaoxiu blushed slightly, paused, and then asked: "Brother Jing, do you have plans today?"
"Me? I'm just a free man, there's nothing on my schedule."
"That's good..."
Yang Xiaoxiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Li Jing with longing and anticipation: "Then I won't go shoot the ad today, I'd rather spend more time with Brother Jing."
Li Jing was surprised to hear this.
But then he thought about it: since his role in the movie was wrapped up, he rarely contacted the crew, which naturally meant he seldom saw Yang Xiaoxiu.
Apart from Yang Xiaoxiu actively calling or texting him to say hi, Li Jing almost didn't reach out to her.
This time, as luck allowed them to be together, Yang Xiaoxiu naturally didn't want to miss the chance to spend more time with Li Jing.
Seeing her intentions, Li Jing chuckled: "Alright, but your career is just starting, don't waste opportunities.
You can shoot that advertisement, and I'll wait outside for you, tonight you can stay directly at my place."
"Really?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Xiaoxiu's eyes instantly brightened, her face full of joy.
In her heart, only by winning Li Jing's true recognition and trust could she have a chance to stay at his home.
This time, with Li Jing agreeing she could stay at his place, Yang Xiaoxiu knew this was her chance to further close the gap between herself and Li Jing.
So she happily got into the passenger seat and, for the first time without Li Jing's consent, leaned over and gave him a quick peck on the cheek.
Li Jing was a bit surprised but then shook his head with a smile: "You're a star now, you need to be careful with your actions, or if you're caught, it could ruin your career."
"Yes, yes, I know, I'll be careful."
Yang Xiaoxiu obediently nodded, then fastened her seatbelt, sitting like a well-behaved child, waiting for Li Jing to drive.
Seeing this, Li Jing couldn't help but pinch her delicate, fair cheek, then started the car, driving toward her appointed advertising company.
On the drive.
Li Jing didn't idle; he called Wen Lan to explain the incident with Yang Liang.
Since Wen Lan was already quite resentful against Yang Liang, they quickly reached a consensus and decided to terminate future collaborations with him.
Meanwhile, Li Jing also called Huang Jun.
Huang Jun had previously been signed by Wei Jia's company's affiliate on Wei Jia's arrangement.
And due to Li Jing's influence, Wei Jia signed Huang Jun with contracts extremely protective of Huang Jun's rights, without any exploitative terms, and only signed for a year's collaboration.
Originally, Huang Jun was discussing contract renewal with Li Jing, and Li Jing was considering speaking with Wei Jia about a new contract, as Huang Jun had become a big internet celebrity, allowing for discussions on larger-scale collaborations.
But with Wei Jia now resigning, Li Jing directly asked Huang Jun to refuse continued collaboration with the company.
To Li Jing's request, Huang Jun agreed almost unconditionally. After hanging up with Li Jing, he immediately called the previous collaborative company.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Yang Xiaoxiu listened to Li Jing's phone calls, secretly amazed at Li Jing's influence, and couldn't help but whisper: "Brother Jing, now that President Yang just took over from President Wei, all these previously agreed cooperation projects are off, won't he be very angry?"
"Angry? I don't want him to be angry; I want regret and fear."
Li Jing said, showing a light smile on his face, picking up his phone to find Liu Huaming's number.
"Hello, Director Liu, I've agreed to Teacher Hu and Sister-in-law's request."
"I know, Sister-in-law told me."
On the call, Liu Huaming's voice was warm and friendly: "Brother is very happy with your decision, his stress has been increasing during this period, now that you've confirmed, his following work will also proceed smoothly."
"Good, I've found trustworthy people to handle this matter, ensuring nothing goes wrong."
Li Jing continued: "However, there's a small matter which I'd like your assistance with..."
"What is it? Feel free to say."
"Do you know anyone in the tax bureau?"
…
Meanwhile.
On the highway from Tianhai to Linshui, a black Mercedes was swiftly moving down the road.
Yang Liang sat cold-faced in the car's back seat, resting.
The driver glanced at Yang Liang in the rearview mirror, quietly lowering the car's music volume to avoid disturbing him.
Then, Yang Liang opened his eyes, picked up his vibrating phone, saw it was a call from his subordinate, and unemotionally answered: "Hey, I told you to investigate Wei Jia's issues, not letting her easily resign, how's that going?"
"Well..."
The subordinate hesitated before responding: "President Wei's previous records and procedures were handled too perfectly, we've hardly found any loopholes..."
"As long as she's human, it's impossible to have no loopholes!"
Yang Liang's face darkened, scaring the driver into quickly turning off the car stereo.
"Keep checking for me, even a little thing should be magnified. Wei Jia wants to leave easily—it won't be that simple!
And that Li Jing, his relationship with Wei Jia is not ordinary, wasn't there a donation project they worked on? Investigate that project, and check out Li Jing!"
"About President Li..."
The subordinate's voice seemed hesitant, pondering for a while before speaking: "Actually, there are a few things that just happened, which I need to report to you..."
