âEh, our partnership has been settled just like that?â Ning Xi was still somewhat dazed.
âIâve taken an interest in you and youâre also interested in Golden Age. Our feelings are mutual, are there any problems?â Lu Tingxiao replied her question with one of his own.
ââŚâ Our feelings are mutual. The way he used that phraseâŚ
Lu Tingxiao was the last person in the world that Ning Xi would want to cause trouble for. Therefore, she asked very solemnly, âAre you sure that you donât need to think it over some more? I think that I can be quite the troublemaker. What if I cause trouble for you in the futureâŚâ
âWhy would you need a management company if you could handle everything yourself? Thatâs exactly why I exist.â
âOhâŚâ Ning Xi rubbed her nose.
In any case, she had discovered that even though the great demon king was a man of few words, every word he spoke carried a great deal of weight. She couldnât win him in a battle of words.
Ning Xi thought carefully for a moment. Since Starlight had wronged her so many times while she was under their management, it was only natural for her to ask for the termination of their contract and no one would use the topic to malign her. Now that the penalty fee was settled and clearing her name was just a matter of time, it was unlikely that she would bring Lu Tingxiao any trouble.
After reflecting for a bit, she was finally able to rest at ease.
âBig Boss, Iâll definitely work hard to earn you money to repay your kindness in hiring me. You wonât be disappointed!â Ning Xi immediately expressed her sincerity to her boss.
She was still confident in her abilities!
Lu Tingxiao smiled slightly, âOkay, Iâm looking forward to that.â
At that moment, Ning Xiâs cell phone suddenly rang.
The caller ID showed âCorrupted Devil Kingâ.
Jiang Muye had called many times previously, but she had been too busy and then she had suddenly fallen ill. There simply hadnât been any time to call him back.
Ning Xi didnât try to hide anything from Lu Tingxiao. She went ahead and accepted the call, âHello? JiangâŚâ
Before she had a chance to speak, a roar that almost shattered her eardrums came from the phoneââ
âNing Xiao Xi, where the hell are you?! Why are you playing around at a time like this?! Do you know how badly people have been shitting on you?!â
He had gone to the Lu Residence once to find her, only to be told by the butler that she wasnât there, and neither was Lu Tingxiao. That day just happened to be her birthday and the two of them had disappeared at the same time. What else could he imagine?!
Ning Xi speechlessly rubbed her ear, âWhoâs been playing around?! Iâm at the freaking hospital!â
Jiang Muye was stunned for a moment before his tone immediately turned anxious, âWhat? Youâre in the hospital? What happened to you? Did you get beaten up by someone?â
Ning Xi frowned slightly, âYouâre the one who got beaten up! I just had a fever, thatâs all!â
âWhich hospital are you at? Iâll come over to see you right away!â
âThereâs no need for that. Youâre so busy, just focus on your family matters first. My fever has already gone down and Lu Tingxiao is here with me. Little Treasure will be coming over later too.â
The person on the other end suddenly went silent for a couple of seconds. Then, she heard Jiang Muye speak gloomily, âNing Xi, have you looked at the email I sent you yet?â
âNot yet. I havenât had the time. Iâve been dealing with one problem after the other ever since two days ago and I havenât had a single moment of rest! Itâs a long story, but Iâll tell you about it later when I have the time.
Jiang Muye took a deep breath, âRemember to look at it as soon as possible. Also, I need to ask you, what are you planning to do about the situation with Ning Xueluo? I was going to help you find that bastard Zhang Qiang, but when I sent someone to deal with him, his place was already completely empty. Youâre part of Starlight so I canât use my companyâs PR department, but I consulted with Ming-ge and Iâve contacted a reliable public relations team for youâŚâ
Ning Xi responded gratefully, âThanks for that, Jiang Muye, but that wonât be necessary. Iâve already gotten some evidence that will prove my innocence.â
Jiang Muye ground his teeth together, âWas it Lu Tingxiao again?â
