Stand Out Agressively

"Tell me, what do you want to talk about?"

"Let's not talk about Lin Zhi. I can't even get into your office, can I?"

"You have always been an ambitious woman, I already knew that ever since the first time I saw you six years ago. It's just that Lin Zhi is such a fool, he would rather give up his own career and future to marry you … Forget it, it's all in the past now. Tell me your purpose in coming here. "

Cheng Wanzhen took a look at one of the walls in Xiang Pinng's study, they were basically photos of all of the famous directors and celebrities in the entertainment circle. Cheng Wanzhen glanced at them one by one: "After Lin Zhi went missing, your place as a manager must be really bad, right?"

Xiang Pinng knocked on the glass ashtray with his index finger. If it was not a crime to kill someone, he would definitely throw the ashtray at the back of his head. Everyone said that the showbiz circle was a big dye-pot, and those who came out more or less lost their natural instincts. In the showbiz circle, those who wanted to get on top of others, without some special methods, were simply impossible, but among Xiang Pinng had seen so many people with special methods, none of them could compare to Cheng Wanzhen.

However, Cheng Wanzhen was different. From the moment she came to negotiate with Lin Zhi in his office six years ago, Xiang Pinng knew that this woman was not a simple person, and sure enough, when something happened to Lin Zhi later on, she immediately married the rich old man and gave birth to a son. It was unknown just how long she stayed together with him under Lin Zhi's nose. If Xiang Pinng did not want to care about this, he could not. She could only rejoice that she did not choose the wrong person to sign the contract with. Back then, when Cheng Wanzhen brought Lin Zhi to see him, because she knew about the relationship between them in advance, in addition to the company rules forbidding artistes from dating each other, Xiang Pinng could only sign one of them. After considering it again and again, in the end, Xiang Pinng chose Lin Zhi.

The reason why he chose Lin Zhi was because of his own good looks, good looks, singing, and also because he had a foundation in acting when he graduated from the Film and Television Academies. Also, because he wanted to compete with his opponent's company, he urgently needed to introduce a small, fresh meat with excellent looks and talent to meet the needs of the market and the competition. Of course, Xiang Pinng had also admitted that Cheng Wanzhen was indeed more outstanding. When he came to apply, he already had a small reputation in the circle. To make an analogy, Lin Zhi was like a green fruit that had just matured, but Cheng Wanzhen had already fully matured. Signing Lin Zhi would require the company to spend a large amount of money to nurture and package him, and his future prospects were unknown, but signing Cheng Wanzhen, meant that everything would be on the right track, whether it was shooting scenes or distributing records, everything would go smoothly —

However, due to consideration of the development prospects of the company and its market requirements, Lin Zhi was finally kept.

Of course, there was also Xiang Pinng's selfishness. If he had insisted on signing Cheng Wanzhen at the start, the company would have agreed to it, but the problem was that Cheng Wanzhen's position in the industry had already taken shape, and she could not broaden the scope of the show, nor give the audience a new feeling, it was completely different from the original intention of Xiang Pinng to nurture a variety of artists. But Lin Zhi was different. He was young, energetic, and sunny. The most important thing was that he was an unpolished jade.

After that, Lin Zhi was signed by the company and quickly committed to work. Furthermore, according to his agreement with the company, he didn't publicly announce her relationship with Cheng Wanzhen, but what made Xiang Pinng see clearly was that when Lin Zhi's career had just started, Cheng Wanzhen ran over to tell him that she wanted to publicly announce her relationship with Lin Zhi, the reason was very laughable. Since she was the one who recommended him to join the company, he had to help her out right now.

Towards this kind of unreasonable request, Xiang Pinng naturally rejected it on the spot. After that, Cheng Wanzhen did not give up on trying to use some of the photos to publicize her relationship with Lin Zhi, and all of it had been settled by Xiang Pinng's money. In the end, Cheng Wanzhen's career did not end at all, and he just quit the showbiz and found a company to work for him. Xiang Pinng knew that Lin Zhi could not let his go, and was even busy doing nothing to accompany her. As long as his feelings were not exposed, Xiang Pinng would allow his to do as he pleased.

Then, it was more than a year ago when Lin Zhi came over to tell him that he had left the showbiz circle.

Xiang Pinng did not know what happened after Lin Zhi ran out, but he was sure that Lin Zhi would not kill people. Usually, when he saw his fans standing downstairs waiting for him, they would all go out to buy water for him.

"This is the picture of Lin Zhi six years ago when he had just stepped out of this dao field …" Cheng Wanzhen said as he reached out to touch the picture.

"Don't touch it!" Xiang Pinng blurted out, and then his face darkened: "Don't touch that photo, don't touch him."

Cheng Wanzhen's hand paused for a few seconds, then turned to look at Xiang Pinng: "Don't touch what?"

Xiang Pinng lit up a cigarette and snappily replied: "You know what I'm talking about, you can't get out of this business with Lin Zhi, if he didn't leave the show industry for you, then that wouldn't have happened, so you …" Don't touch him. "

The expression in the depths of Cheng Wanzhen's eyes changed, but she quickly returned to normal. She walked to the chair opposite of Xiang Pinng and sat down with a smile, then said to him: "Alright, I'll talk about proper business with you."

"What is it?"

"Have you heard the latest news?"

"What do I think it is? To be able to trouble Mrs Lu to come over personally, I must be afraid that my past events would be exposed. So, you have specially come over to investigate my background?"

Cheng Wanzhen pushed the ashtray on the desk to her side, just in time to catch the cigarette ash that had fallen to the ground. Xiang Pinng squinted and looked at Cheng Wanzhen: "Don't waste your time, Lin Zhi is definitely going to marry you, as for whether he bought a house, I'm not sure, and he didn't tell me, if you want to know, you can go and check for yourself."

"You know that's not what I care about." Cheng Wanzhen looked at Xiang Pinng and smiled without batting an eyelid.

Xiang Pinng stared at Cheng Wanzhen for a few seconds, he suddenly took two puffs of smoke and stuffed the remaining half of the cigarette into the ashtray, saying impolitely: "Don't worry, I don't have the time to dole out your stuff, I won't mention a word of you being with Lin Zhi, and I don't want to talk about it either. Lin Zhi is an artist that I brought out by hand, and he is also the most outstanding one. Although his whereabouts are unknown, I do not wish to discredit him, so if Mrs Lu is satisfied with my answer, then we can leave now. "

Cheng Wanzhen laughed, and got up from her chair: "Thank you, Brother Ping."

Xiang Pinng snorted, and did not say a word.

Cheng Wanzhen pulled her chair back and turned towards the door.

"Lin Zhi has gone missing for several months. I thought you came to me to find his whereabouts." When Cheng Wanzhen reached her hands out to open the door, she suddenly shouted this sentence, causing him to stop in her tracks.

"I've had nothing to do with him since he went to jail."

"Mrs Lu, the last time you came to see me, it was to reveal your relationship with Lin Zhi. But this time, you want me to hide it for you, compared to how Lin Zhi is treating you justice, at most, you are just a woman who would destroy the bridge after crossing it. If Lin Zhi is destroyed, you become the CEO's wife of Lu’s Group … How about it, in the past year or so, have you dreamt of Lin Zhi, and did he say anything to you? "

"No, I'm doing very well. Thank you for your concern."

After Cheng Wanzhen finished speaking, she opened the door and walked out.

Xiang Pinng was so angry that both his hands were trembling. In the end, he fiercely swept all the photos and documents on the table to the ground, and only after venting his anger did he raise his head to look at the photo of him and Lin Zhi on the wall.

Anger, regret, unworthiness …

Lin Zhi, this is the woman you want to marry.
