On the other side, Situ Jiluo just walked out of the office and was about to go to the underground parking lot with Secretary-General Zhang Jinlian, but he suddenly remembered something and stopped.

He took out his mobile phone from his suit, opened the contact book, and clicked on the file he had never dialed before. His brows moved slightly, and it was obvious that he was hesitating about something.

Finally, he dialed the phone. It rang for a long time, but no one answered. He hung up and called again. He repeated this process several times. Only then did Situ Jiluo feel like a fool. When did he

So patient? Damn it!

He knew that Zi Ling's current situation should be even worse than his. Whether it was her company or her home, there must be crowds of people outside. Originally, he was still worried about her, but since this ungrateful woman didn't answer his calls,

?!Okay, no answer, right? Wait!

"President, the driver is already waiting downstairs."

Hearing what Zhang Jinlian said, Situ Jiluo didn't say anything, but just responded with a gesture, and then moved away and walked towards the elevator. The place he was going to now was the place he had made an appointment with the general manager of Xia Group

.

In fact, when he learned that people from the Xia Group were looking for him today, he had a hunch about what was going on. With his personality, he would usually ignore it, but this time he didn't know why he agreed immediately.

Little does Situ Jiluo know that when the wheel of fate begins to turn, all the destined things will begin...

Generally speaking, when two parties make an appointment to meet, and it is in an official name, they will meet at one of the parties' places. But this time, it was really because it was inconvenient for both parties. Both companies were surrounded by reporters and fans.

The water was blocked, so we had to make an appointment outside.

Because it was the Xia Group who took the initiative to find them, the location was decided by Stardom. After careful consideration, Zhang Jinlian finally found a suitable place.

A high-end coffee shop far away from the city. The main reason is that it is different from ordinary coffee shops. It pays great attention to the customer's safety, so Zhang Jinlian chose this place.

Entering the coffee shop, Situ Jiluo and Zhang Jinlian were taken to a private room on the second floor by the waiter. As soon as they walked in, the man who was already sitting inside immediately stood up from his seat and introduced himself.

"Hello, I am Zhan Chengxi, the general manager of Xia Group. Nice to meet you."

There are few people who don't know Situ Jiluo, but although Zhan Chengxi's opening remarks seemed very warm, they were also full of politeness, which made Situ Jiluo suddenly feel something was wrong for some reason. He always felt that the other party had a crush on him.

hostility.

"Um."

Just in response, Situ Jiluo bypassed Zhan Chengxi and sat down in the seat inside. Zhang Jinlian, who was following him, smiled awkwardly at Zhan Chengxi and then followed Situ Jiluo.

Behind her, she originally wanted to sit down next to him, but Situ Jiluo suddenly stopped her.

"Secretary-General Zhang, I still need your help with the company's affairs. I can do it here alone."

After hearing the CEO's instructions, Zhang Jinlian didn't say anything. She just said polite words and then exited the box, leaving the two men alone inside. When women chatted with each other, men couldn't get in the middle of the conversation. Likewise, when men talked with each other,

The same is true for chatting. It is not convenient for women to be present, so Zhang Jinlian consciously left first.

Picking up the coffee that the waiter had just brought in, Situ Jiluo just took a sip and put it down. Then he raised his head and said to the man sitting opposite him.

"Excuse me, why does Manager Zhan have the leisure to ask me out today?"

The domineering and noble character revealed in Situ Jiluo's tone cannot be ignored, but Zhan Chengxi is not a light-hearted person, so naturally he will not back down because of his momentum.

"It's like this. Recently, there have been frequent scandals between your company's artists and our artists. I think we should discuss the solutions carefully."

Even though he wanted to ask about the relationship between Situ Jiluo and Zi Ling, Zhan Chengxi knew not to ask about what he was concerned about first, so he brought up the matter of James and talked about it first. He believed that Situ Jiluo was a smart man and would definitely be able to

Understand the meaning of his words.

"Oh? What countermeasures are we discussing?"

Situ Jiluo once again raised the coffee cup and brought it to his mouth. Situ Jiluo looked a little surprised. It must be said that the other party was very good at talking, so he understood the meaning of the other party's words at once. But he just pretended.

Silly, just because I want to hear what cards the other party is going to play.

"De Ling Lian was originally created out of nothing. Since it is all media hype, I don't want James's incident to affect our Zi Ling."

Sighing heavily in his heart, Zhan Chengxi pointed out the matter directly in order not to waste time talking in circles. How could he not know that Situ Jiluo was deliberately pretending to be stupid? Whoever speaks first at this time will lose.

, but he had to speak first.

After hearing these words, Situ Jiluo couldn't help but his face darkened. Especially Zhan Chengxi's last words, "We are the purple spirits," made him feel unhappy. So he quickly withdrew his politeness and returned to his previous coldness.

With a fierce attitude, he looked straight at Zhan Chengxi sitting opposite, thinking in his mind.

"We are all business owners of entertainment companies. You are also in the entertainment industry. I believe you must know the destructive power of scandals to a star, especially a female star. What's more, something happened to James De."

Seeing Situ Jiluo's silence, Zhan Chengxi had an ominous premonition, but for the sake of the company and Zi Ling's future acting career, he continued speaking patiently. However, before he finished speaking, Situ Jiluo

Luo interrupted him and said something that stunned him.

"The matter of James is giving us a headache here. But what should we do? He is missing now. Everyone in the company has been looking for him since the news came out, but he still has no whereabouts."

Originally, Zhan Chengxi wanted James to come forward to clarify the scandal with Zi Ling, but when he heard that he was missing, he frowned in frustration.

"Manager Zhan, let me put it harshly. Our Shide has been having an affair with you, Zi Ling Chuan, for several days, and you haven't responded yet. Now that something happened to our Shide, you immediately want to get rid of them."

Jing, can’t you put it this way?”

Seeing Zhan Chengxi's confused and helpless look, Situ Jiluo raised a proud smile on his lips. He raised his eyebrows and continued to throw bombs.

This time, he no longer pretended to be stupid, but pointed the finger at the other party word by word. Maybe he was a little too direct, but when something like this happened, he was eager to clear up the relationship. No matter who he was, he would have such thoughts.

, Situ Jiluo’s words are understandable, leaving Zhan Chengxi unable to make any mistakes.

"That's not what I meant, I..."

Situ Jiluo's words made Zhan Chengxi's face instantly turn green, and even his words became stuttering. Although he didn't mean that at all, the other party's words hit his soft spot.

"I'm kidding you, we will handle Shide's matter and we won't implicate the Xia Group or your artists. You can rest assured about this."

Situ Jiluo chuckled lightly and assured lightly. The reason why he said that just now was just to scare Zhan Chengxi. Even if he didn't worry about Zi Ling, there was no way he would let anything happen to the Xia Group.

Thinking of the outstanding leader of the Xia Group, his heart ached. It was a pain that had been hidden in his heart for a long time, a pain that he was unwilling to face, and a wound that he was unwilling to touch. In short, now

He could only look at her from a distance.

"Haha, this is going to trouble you."

Hearing Situ Jiluo's words, Zhan Chengxi finally felt relieved, but at the same time he was also embarrassed by his reaction just now. This matter has been dealt with, and now comes another matter, one that worries him

things.

"If not, I will make an announcement later."

Situ Jiluo didn't know why he subconsciously disliked the man in front of him, but he would not show it. After looking at the time on the watch, he said this politely.
Chapter completed!
