NOVEL NEXT Chapter 367 Just Knows To Eat!
"If today, it hadn't been for Wan Cheng bringing me over, the other party definitely wouldn't have shown up," Wang Ye said seriously to Liu Na, his expression grave as if he were discussing something pivotal.
Wang Ye continued, "Moreover, if we're being strict about it, I did tell you from the beginning, didn't I? I said not to worry, that it would only take the time to drink a cup of tea, and I'd surely have the matter settled."
"Right," Liu Na nodded.
Indeed, Wang Ye had said this to her at the outset.
But the crux of the issue was, even though Wang Ye had said those words, she hadn't taken them seriously, merely thinking Wang Ye was saying it to comfort her.
Unexpectedly,
What Wang Ye said wasn't boasting; it was because he truly could accomplish it that he spoke so deliberately.
Liu Na didn't dwell on this subject any further but asked Wang Ye, "However, why are you investigating Jiang Yuanke? As far as I know, he's just a popular celebrity. You're not thinking of casting him in your TV series, are you?"
At this point in her statement, Liu Na's face immediately showed a look of disdain as she addressed Wang Ye:
"I advise you not to do that. I was actually considering supporting your movie when it comes out, but if it involves Jiang Yuanke, forget it!"
"I've felt like vomiting from disgust the first time I saw Jiang Yuanke on a variety show; it's just too cringeworthy."
Hearing Liu Na's words,
Wang Ye was somewhat surprised.
He hadn't expected Liu Na to follow entertainment industry gossip or to harbor such disdain for Jiang Yuanke.
But this also proved that Jiang Yuanke, no, this popular celebrity, wasn't anything special.
Otherwise, why would Liu Na feel such revulsion towards Jiang Yuanke, feeling the urge to run away or throw up at the mere mention of his name?
"Using Jiang Yuanke is out of the question. You should know that we've hired Lang Ren as the producer, and with Lang Ren's character, he would never choose a flowery idol like Jiang Yuanke."
"Makes sense,"
Liu Na nodded, her face brightening with relief, as if the assurance of Wang Ye not using Jiang Yuanke let her look forward to their upcoming TV series, finally breathing a sigh of relief.
Afterward, Wang Ye shared with Liu Na why he was investigating matters related to Jiang Yuanke.
Upon hearing the words from Wang Ye, Liu Na's face immediately showed a look of loathing, her eyes filled with deep disgust toward Jiang Yuanke, saying:
"I've always known Jiang Yuanke was no good, but I didn't expect him to be suspected of harassing minors. Investigate this matter thoroughly; I fully support you on this!"
"What about other matters? You're not going to support me in them?" Wang Ye asked.
"Support, of course I'll support!" Liu Na enthusiastically slung her arm around Wang Ye's neck, her whole demeanor exuding a heroic cheerfulness as she said, "You've got to know, you're a big shot. For a heavy hitter like you, I definitely need to support you well so I can hold onto your coattails."
Subsequently,
after chatting with Liu Na for a while longer, Wang Ye finally left the Yun City Official Guard.
…
Capital City.
Zhou Family.
Zhou Guangcheng sat in his office working on the family's affairs, with Zhou Kunyu by his side learning the ropes, since Zhou Kunyu was to take over the Zhou Family after Zhou Guangcheng stepped down.
Therefore, sometimes during his office hours, Zhou Guangcheng kept Zhou Kunyu by his side so that Zhou Kunyu could learn from his work processes.
However, Zhou Kunyu generally had no interest in these matters, and the primary reason he now obediently stayed by Zhou Guangcheng's side, studying with him, was so that he could be the first to know about the resolution of the issue with Wang Ye.
By staying next to Zhou Guangcheng, he could also hear the news at the earliest.
The telephone rang.
As Zhou Guangcheng's phone rang, Zhou Kunyu immediately turned his full attention towards him, his gaze filled with expectation as Zhou Guangcheng took out his phone.
He hoped it was a call from Wan Cheng.
If a call came from Wan Cheng's end, it would prove one thing: that the problem with Wang Ye had been dealt with.
Zhou Guangcheng took out his mobile phone, glanced at the caller, and said to Zhou Kunyu with a smile, "Alright, I know what's on your mind. Look, the caller this time—it's Wan Cheng."
"Wan Cheng has completed the task, and he's now contacting us to share the good news," Zhou Guangcheng said before directly answering the call.
As soon as he answered, Zhou Guangcheng cheerfully addressed Wan Cheng on the other end of the line, "Thank you, thank you, Wan Cheng. I didn't expect that you would handle this so quickly for me. Thank you, Wan Cheng."
"Someday! I must treat you to a good meal!"
However, what came from the other end wasn't the polite voice of Wan Cheng, but almost a roar, "Treat to a meal? Forget it! That's a meal I can't afford!"
Zhou Guangcheng was an astute man who had managed the Zhou Family to such a level, so upon hearing the words from Wan Cheng, he immediately sensed something was amiss.
It was very likely they hadn't succeeded, but rather, it was highly possible they had failed.
"Brother Wan Cheng, no worries, if it failed, it failed. I'm not blaming you. How about tonight? Can we do it tonight? I'm inviting! You choose the place, let's find somewhere to casually eat and drink!"
Zhou Guangcheng spoke generously, but Zhou Kunyu, standing by, felt very dissatisfied with what he heard.
Despite the task's failure, his father was being berated so harshly yet still inviting the other party to dine.
"Eat, eat, eat! That's all you damn know how to do!"
However, even though Zhou Guangcheng was already speaking in a subservient tone, Wan Cheng on the other end of the line continued to curse openly.
Even with Zhou Guangcheng's patience, he found it hard to bear and said to Wan Cheng:
"Brother Wan Cheng, if it has failed, I'm not blaming you, but you shouldn't be taking your anger out on me, should you?"
