Chapter 19: I'm so angry!
Yang Mi wasn't on set all day; at the same time, she appeared in another private room.
Realizing Li Mo's importance, Yang Mi, being a woman of action, immediately consulted with Zeng Jia.
The two, carrying a contract that made Reba envious and Yunlong jealous, planned to go to Li Mo in person.
This is the best contract Jaywalk can offer right now; they can't promise anything like a custom-produced drama like big companies do.
However, some concessions were made regarding revenue sharing, but because the company was not financially strong, many of the terms were somewhat of a pie in the sky.
But before they could even set off to find Li Mo, they were invited to this private room by people from Canxing.
There's one bad thing about the entertainment industry: there are no secrets!
The two of them understood each other to a similar degree as Li Mo and Qin Lan understood each other.
This is what is known as "you know my strengths and weaknesses, and I know yours and weaknesses," meaning there is basically no information gap between the two sides.
Yang Mi knew that Canxing would definitely use "The Voice of China" as leverage to blackmail Li Mo, and Jin Lei also knew how many loopholes there were in Yang Mi's contract with Li Mo that she could exploit.
Jin Lei's confidence stemmed from his decision to bypass Li Mo and go directly to Yang Mi.
He didn't believe Li Mo would refuse "The Voice of China," and assumed that as long as he could win over Yang Mi, Li Mo would be his easy prey!
After all, The Voice of China had been a sure thing before.
Therefore, he came out somewhat aggressively, targeting Yang Mi's weaknesses.
The conversation between the two was roughly as follows:
"I am Li Mo's mentor!"
"His breach of contract penalty is three million."
"..."
"Li Mo has no other redeeming qualities except that he knows how to be grateful. He's very comfortable at Jiaxing, so Director Jin doesn't need to worry about him."
"His breach of contract penalty is three million."
"..."
"Li Mo and I have a very good relationship with one of my older sisters, so he probably won't leave Jaywalk Studio!"
"His breach of contract penalty is three million."
"You have nothing to say?"
"His breach of contract penalty... oh, sorry, I'm just using that phrase. Let me say something else: I can guarantee he'll win 'The Voice of China'!"
"…you!"
Yang Mi felt so angry that her chest was about to swell up two sizes, faced with this blatant act of shamelessness.
Yang Mi is truly at her wit's end.
I have no cards in my hand!
Just then, a shrill cell phone rang. Yang Mi frowned, wondering who was so oblivious.
I was just looking for a place to vent!
When he took out his phone and looked at it, his expression instantly improved a lot.
"Who is it calling me? Oh, it's my dear sister!"
Yang Mi's voice rose several pitches, making Jin Lei curious about who was making the call.
Then Yang Mi continued in a sweet, coquettish voice, "I'm sorry, Director Jin."
"My sister, who's very close to Li Mo, called me. She probably wants to talk to me about Li Mo. I'll take this call first."
She also emphasized the relationship between the group, and there was a hint of tea in the air.
However, Yang Mi didn't care about any of that; she only felt that her sisters were reliable.
In crucial moments, it's always "girls help girls"!
"Hey Lan, why are you calling... Oh, you want me to come over... No, I have a guest here who wants to talk to me about Li Mo... Tell him to come along!"
"Alright then, Sister Lan, wait for me!"
With Jin Lei's consent, the two then left the private room together.
...
On the second day, Mr. Jiang from Huanrui finally got through to Li Mo on the phone, asking what he was doing and whether it was convenient for him to meet and talk.
But Li Mo refused.
Li Mo didn't mind chatting with him, but he had filming during the day and didn't want to delay the shoot.
Doing what needs to be done well is the most important thing. If General Manager Jiang simply can't wait or is unwilling to wait at all...
That proves that chatting with them is a waste of time.
That's why Li Mo said that they could meet after filming wrapped up and have a proper chat then.
The masked man launched a sneak attack on Tianyong City. To protect Tusu, Ling Yue stood alone in front of everyone, his sword energy crisscrossing and his aura fully unleashed.
"If you want to touch him, you'll have to get past me first!"
Li Mo looked at Tu Su, played by Li Yifeng, who was a complete brother-protecting maniac!
"Cut! Thanks for your hard work, everyone!"
With Director Luo's command, Li Mo's scenes for the day came to an end.
Next, Li Mo was about to go to his appointment with President Jiang, so he called Yang Chaoyue over to help him get ready.
"Brother Mo, is something wrong that you're in such a hurry?" Yang Chaoyue asked as many questions as ever.
Li Mo didn't hide anything and admitted directly, "Well, Mr. Jiang from Huanrui asked to meet me this morning, but I postponed it until now."
"Wow! The big boss asked you to meet, and you've been dragging your feet until now. Looks like he really thinks highly of you!"
Li Mo smiled helplessly; this girl's words were becoming more and more pleasing to the ear.
He's starting to look more and more like a treacherous minister!
However, Yang Chaoyue's thoughts then began to wander. "Brother Mo, do you think President Jiang favors you more now, or Li Yifeng?"
Li Mo thought about it and actually followed Yang Chaoyue's line of thought to analyze it seriously: "It should be Li Yifeng now, after all, he is one of Huanrui's own people."
"So that means if you join Huanrui, President Jiang will think even more highly of you!"
Yang Chaoyue always has his own way of interpreting things.
"Of course!"
Li Yifeng, who had arrived unnoticed, had only intended to satisfy his eavesdropping desire, but upon hearing this, he immediately spat out a mouthful of water.
For some reason, he had a feeling similar to being n×r.
Didn't we agree that I was the company's darling?
How come my house was stolen before I even finished filming this movie?
However, he didn't dare to refute it, since he really didn't have much confidence to rebel against the company.
After tidying up, Li Mo received a message from Qin Lan instead of a call from President Jiang.
They said they wanted to meet me and sent me an address.
Li Mo thought that President Jiang hadn't arranged a place yet, so he would take this opportunity to do the same for President Jiang.
It would be a good opportunity to get Qin Lan to stand up for him, since there are always some people in the industry who like to use their power to intimidate others.
Without hesitation, Li Mo immediately called President Jiang.
"Mr. Jiang, have we decided where to meet tonight? If not, I'll decide. You don't mind if I bring a girl, do you?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Chaoyue's lips practically curled into a wide smile.
Little Mo, you're taking me out to see the world again tonight!
Oh dear, you were saying you'd bring a girl along, but where's the girl with you now?
I'm all alone now!
As she thought about it, her hands moved faster and quickly finished packing Li Mo's costume and everything else.
I can't miss the chance to go out with Mo Ge.
When she returned Li Mo's costume to his room, changed into a different outfit, and came out feeling quite pleased with herself, it was too late.
She couldn't even see Li Mo's shadow anymore.
"Li Mo!"
Back in his room, Yang Chaoyue could only shout in helpless rage at his pillow.
