He is so Spoiled 18

 

 Chapter 18

"...Old Wang, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I really don't know about this. Maybe you should try finding someone else? I have a meeting to attend soon, so I have to go now."

"Wait...Zhao Bureau, Zhao Bureau?"

There was a series of beeps and fuzzy sounds on the other end of the phone. 

Wang Xiong was so anxious that he almost dropped the receiver. He finally managed to make a call and said a few words before it was hung up.

He couldn't figure out which god he had offended overnight. How did everything turn out like this? 

The secretary rushed over from the hospital as soon as he came out, saying that the bank had denied the loan. He quickly called to ask, but he couldn't reach any of the people who had called him brother just a few days ago. Either they didn't answer or they hung up directly. 

He spent a lot of money to build up these relationships, but they were all for nothing. 

He was worried sick, but before he could even feel sorry for the money, he received a call from his hometown saying that there was a major incident at the mine. 

The officials from above were investigating the collapse that happened three years ago, and the mine had been shut down. The police had issued an arrest warrant for him.

Wang Xiong was now in a panic. Didn't that matter pass long ago? Why were they bringing up old accounts again? 

He hurriedly called Zhao Bureau, who had always been friendly with him in the municipal bureau. He finally got through, but he couldn't get any information. Zhao Bureau had no idea and only hinted vaguely that he might have offended someone higher up. When he wanted to ask more, Zhao Bureau simply hung up the phone.

Wang Xiong cursed himself in his heart. He had been hit in the head by a minor celebrity yesterday, and he still hadn't sought revenge. 

He had offended someone, but when had he ever offended anyone? And what about those people above? He had only been in Beijing for a few days. How could he have met those big shots? Even with those executives he had just managed to get to know, he had been careful to please and flatter them. How could he have offended anyone?

Lin Xiatian came to the company early in the morning. He had not slept all night, and early this morning, he found that all the news about Su Nuo on the Internet had been deleted. Delighted, he quickly called Su Nuo, but he didn't answer. He didn't know where he had moved and couldn't find him. He could only come to the company to try his luck. 

Just as he arrived at the door, he happened to meet Suo Nuo's agent, Zou Yan, coming out of the company.

Zou Yan was about to get into his car when he hurriedly ran up and stopped him. 

"Zou ge, have you seen Su Nuo? Why couldn't I contact him all night? His phone was off when I called just now."

Zou Yan looked strange and didn't answer his question. Instead, he asked him, "Do you know where Su Nuo moved to recently?"

Lin Xiatian was taken aback. "I don't know. He didn't tell me. What's wrong?"

"..."

He didn't know what he was thinking as his expression kept changing. 

After some thought, Lin Xiatian wondered if he had not been able to contact Su Nuo or if something had happened to Su Nuo. He eagerly asked, "Why are you suddenly asking about this? Did something happen? Where did Su Nuo go? What's with that expression? Just tell me!"

"You know about Kerry Entertainment, right? It's a top entertainment company in China. They bought Su Nuo this morning, and they paid the penalty on the spot. You saw the news online this morning, right? It was all Kerry's doing."

This wasn't exactly confidential, so Zou Yan didn't hide anything from him.

"You're close to Su Nuo. Do you know when he joined Kerry?"

Lin Xiatian was shocked as if struck by lightning.

Zou Yan was a little disappointed that he didn't know anything, so he didn't want to say anything more. "I can't contact him either. If you find him, let me know. I want to find him too." After speaking, he walked past Lin Xiatian and got into his own car.

Yesterday, Su Nuo was tricked into accompanying investors, and today Kerry came to talk about terminating the contract. It felt like it was related to what happened yesterday, but it was impossible for them to find a new agency so quickly unless they had been prepared in advance.

Su Nuo had moved out some time ago, so maybe he had already contacted Kerry at that time, which was why he couldn't tell Lin Xiatian his address. And then, thinking back to Su Nuo's calm attitude on the phone yesterday, everything made sense. If he didn't have someone to rely on, how could he be so calm?

Zou Yan was feeling a bit guilty about yesterday's events, but he suddenly became a little unhappy when he thought about it. He was Su Nuo's agent after all, and Su Nuo didn't even discuss such a big matter with him. He didn't even consider the fact that Kerry was a big company with many celebrities. Su Nuo went alone, without him to support him. How far could he go?

He had to find a way to bring himself along with Su Nuo to Kerry. Su Nuo was alone and helpless at Kerry now. After all, he had been with him for so long. As long as he coaxed him well, Su Nuo would definitely treat him like family and want him to come along. A hint of joy appeared on Zou Yan's face. If he joined Kerry, his salary would double, and his future would be limitless.

While he was thinking about how to use Su Nuo to get into Kerry, he didn't know that his boss, who had just finished talking to General Manager Wang on the phone, had been scared out of his wits.

The situation at Star Entertainment isn't much better than Wang Xiong's side. This morning, several investments that were already agreed upon were gradually withdrawn, and the company's artists participating in several production crews were replaced for various strange reasons.

This couldn't be a coincidence. It's clear that someone is intentionally targeting him. He thought of several old rivals, but it seemed unlikely. After all, such a big operation couldn't be done by just anyone. Just now, Jiang Guohui personally came to the company to discuss the issue of Su Nuo's contract.

No wonder he was surprised. Jiang Guohui is the big boss of Kerry Entertainment, holding the resources of more than half of the entertainment industry. He is known as the big patron of the entire entertainment industry, yet he came personally to talk about terminating a contract!

Su Nuo... Wasn't that the person he asked to accompany him for drinks yesterday? He had a vague suspicion in his heart, but didn't dare to act arrogant. He signed the contract politely and respectfully saw Jiang Guohui off before immediately calling Mr. Wang to confirm.

Sure enough, Mr. Wang's situation was exactly the same as his.

Now he understood everything. The disaster they suffered was all because of Su Nuo! He slumped on his office chair, regretting everything. Why didn't he inquire about Su Nuo's background beforehand? He had been sailing smoothly all along and had forgotten what kind of place Beijing is! There are too many people here that can't be offended. It's all over now. It's too late to say anything.

It was clear that if Jiang Guohui took action, the person behind Su Nuo would have a high status. No matter who it was, he couldn't afford to offend them.
