The voice on the other end was silent for a fraction of a second, before steadily replying, âI know . âHe paused before adding, âDonât worry . â
Those simple words from him were like an anchor for her . Immediately, it stilled the wild thumping of her heart .
She drew a deep breath and spoke, âOkay . Where are you?â
âAt a business meeting,â his answer was concise .
âAnd is it going well? Qiao Lian asked casually .
Then she heard the ring of soft, deep laughter coming from the other end . After a pause, he said, âXiao Qiao, are you worrying that I wonât be able to feed the family?â
She kept silent at his teasing and hung her head with a disheartened smile .
He had thrown out 50 million without batting an eyelid . She was moved by his love and friendship .
She cleared her throat and looked up . âItâs okay . If a time comes that you canât feed the family, Iâll work and keep you well-fed . â
âI have to say Iâm grateful to my great wifey . â
She found herself turning bright scarlet at his teasing remark as she walked down the street .
She lifted her hand to touch her burning cheeks .
Why did those words make her feel so shy all of a sudden?
She looked ahead, her vision unfocused and distracted . âYou keep working then, Iâll hang up now . ââOk . â
In the top management meeting at the office .
Shen Liangchuan was standing at the corridor . The smile on his face vanished at once the moment he hung up .
Song Cheng stood behind him, frowning as he reported, âThe two artists with whom we signed last month have asked for termination of their contracts . Iâve done some asking around . Theyâve been poached by a newly-established entertainment company called NQ . They paid a high price and indicated that they would aggressively promote the artists . â
Upon hearing this, Shen Liangchuanâs expression darkened .
He cast his gaze down to hide the mockery in his eyes . Indeed, Lu Nanze was aggressive . It had only been a few days, but he had already set up a company?
Nodding, Shen Liangchuan said, âWe wonât keep people who have no loyalty . But make sure they pay their full penalty . â
Song Cheng nodded to show he understood, however, he had a worried expression . âBut what should we do now?â
They only had a few artists under their belt .
It was extremely pitiful .
Shen Liangchuan thought for a moment before he said, âI recall that Mo Xichengâs contract is about to expire . â
Song Chengâs eyes lit up .
At this point, his cell phone suddenly rang .
He picked up the line, spoke respectfully for a short while and then hung up the line with a heavy expression on his face . He looked at Shen Liangchuan and said, âWeâre finished! The investor that we struck a deal with two weeks ago wishes to withdraw their capital now . At the moment, we donât have much cash flow . We were depending on the money from this investor to pay our staffâs salaries . â
The 50 million they had had initially were Shen Liangchuanâs personal funds and they were meant to go into investing in the company . However, it had now been used to pay the costly penalty for terminating his filming contract .
This had caused a shortage in the companyâs cash flow .
And now, disastrous consequences were striking them .
Song Cheng sighed . He looked up and glanced at Shen Liangchuan, but saw that there had been no change in his expression .
Song Cheng cleared his throat . âIf we canât resolve this⊠Shall we ask the Shen Family to invest?â
At this suggestion, Shen Liangchuan looked up and gave him a deadpan look .
Song Cheng immediately lowered his gaze when his eyes met with Shen Liangchuanâs . âForget what I just said . â
