Breakup at the Start: A Song That Makes Him a Legend, and the School Beauty Pursues Him

"You brought this on yourself! Didn't I tell you not to offend Qin Shou and Lu Mengyao? Did you even listen to me?! I'm already being more than generous by letting you stay in the company!" The CEO gritted his teeth. "You've caused so much trouble; I'll settle the score with you slowly later!"

"I'm your own cousin! You can't just abandon me!" Director Xu cried out.

"I have plenty of cousins, I don't need you! You brought this on yourself, and now you expect me to protect you? Dream on!" A CEO who has risen to this position can't be completely detached from human relationships, but he might also have to consider his own interests.

If she had acted on emotion, her company would have been finished long ago. After weighing the pros and cons, she had to sacrifice Xu Rui, because Xu Rui was too arrogant.

"Even if Qin Shou is a shareholder, you're still the president, his boss! He has to give you some respect! Waaah, I was wrong! I can be flexible, they shouldn't have been so ruthless towards me!" Director Xu was in agony.

"Heh, you can handle just Qin Shou? Do you even know who Lu Mengyao is?" The president stared coldly at Director Xu.

Who is it?

"The heiress of the Lu Group! She's just here to experience life. I warned you before not to mess with her, did you even listen to me? Making you my assistant was at her behest, otherwise I would have fired you long ago!"

"How...how could this be! She's just the daughter of someone who got a house with a small amount of money from a demolished property! Why are you only telling me now?"

"That was to maintain her public image. She told me not to say anything publicly, so naturally I could only say that. I don't even dare to offend the Lu family, but you've been sabotaging me behind my back. No wonder she's angry!"

"No wonder... she became an agent before her internship was even over, with flexible working hours and an easy job..." Director Xu's heart skipped a beat.

She recalled the past, how her cousin favored Lu Mengyao and always thought of Lu Mengyao when it came to good things, which made her resentful.

In addition, she was very jealous of Lu Mengyao's beauty, and Lu Mengyao was well-liked at the company, so she wanted to bring Lu Mengyao down.

They deliberately take advantage of what's readily available, steal artists who belong to Lu Mengyao, intentionally provoke Lu Mengyao, and snatch resources that Lu Mengyao should have received.

It turned out that it wasn't that her cousin hadn't reminded her, but rather that she had deliberately ignored the details, which led to the situation becoming so bad.

"What should I do now? Waaah, cousin, I was really wrong!" Director Xu cried out in fear.

The CEO frowned in disdain: "You're an adult. Take responsibility for your own troubles. Don't expect me to clean up your mess."

This has dashed Director Xu's hopes.

She offended Qin Shou and Lu Mengyao, and her cousin is ruthless; now no one is willing to help her.

She's used to bullying others, and now she's going to be such a lowly assistant, with the assistant she used to bully as her boss. Just thinking about it makes me realize how miserable the days ahead will be.

Lu Mengyao's refusal to let the company fire her is simply a way of ruining her!

At this moment, Lu Mengyao was in her office, busy arranging work for Qin Shou. Numerous commercial opportunities had already come their way, and many scripts had been offered to Qin Shou for acting roles.

After all, Qin Shou has a good appearance, good height, and good temperament. He is definitely capable of playing a leading role. Almost all the first batch of scripts were given to Qin Shou. Only after Qin Shou was eliminated could the next batch of actors be given the scripts.

However, Qin Shou immediately refused to act, knowing full well that he was not cut out for acting.

Lu Mengyao didn't make things difficult for Qin Shou. After all, acting is hard work, requires staying up late, and involves dealing with actresses. If he gets too immersed in the role, it can easily lead to scandals, and it's especially difficult to detach himself from the character.

So no matter how much money was offered, Lu Mengyao didn't accept the offer for Qin Shou. Instead, she was looking for other event resources, preferably performances that Qin Shou would like, which could improve his status in various ways and have good development prospects.

Those are fewer of the commercialized ones, since Qin Shou doesn't like them.

Even if those are ruled out, there are still many suitable resources that could keep Lu Mengyao and her agent's assistant busy for half a day.

But at this crucial moment, Director Xu came looking for us.

"Mengyao~"

The harsh, affected voice sent chills down Lu Mengyao's spine.

She repeatedly confirmed that the person in front of her was indeed Director Xu, and she felt no liking for his attentiveness whatsoever.

"I'm busy, just say what you want to say." Lu Mengyao looked down at the documents, too lazy to pay attention to Director Xu.

Unexpectedly, Director Xu suddenly rushed in front of Lu Mengyao, feigning a pitiful look, and pleaded, "We are colleagues after all. It was my fault before. I shouldn't have been so aggressive towards you and made so many mistakes. But asking me to be a junior assistant and run errands for others is a bit too much."

"You can hit me and yell at me, but don't punish me like this anymore, sob sob. My dream is to be a manager, and I finally achieved it, only to have it cruelly shattered. It hurts so much, you can understand, right?"

Director Xu glared at Lu Mengyao with a crocodile-like look and began to wail.

"Yes, I understand."

Director Xu was secretly pleased, subconsciously thinking that Lu Mengyao was indeed a fool, but then he heard Lu Mengyao's cold voice, "But I don't accept it."

Director Xu's expression changed instantly.

Lu Mengyao's eyes were cold as she said to Director Xu, "I once had dreams too, but haven't you tried to crush them every time? I gave you chances, but you didn't cherish them. Director Xu, if you had any conscience, you shouldn't have done such terrible things to me, and you shouldn't have targeted Qin Shou!"

She felt a pang of sadness when she thought of Qin Shou practicing dance all night: "He's also pursuing his dream. You can stand by and watch, but don't kick him when he's down. Since you've done it, even if you cry your eyes out and your legs break from kneeling, I won't show you any mercy for a second!"

Director Xu's lips moved a few times as she hurriedly explained, "I was just too arrogant and did so many bad things, but you have to believe me, I'm not a bad person at heart. Give me a chance to make amends! Everyone makes mistakes, so please consider it a favor I owe you, okay?"

Now she was truly scared and panicked; the unbearable emotions tormented her, and tears streamed down her face.

These were tears shed from genuine pain, but in Lu Mengyao's eyes, they were hypocritical and deserved.

"Get lost. Who needs you to repay a favor? I just want you to suffer." Lu Mengyao, like a red rose covered in thorns, looked down at Director Xu, every word filled with danger and coldness.

Director Xu's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a chill creep down his spine.

"Qin Shou is my bottom line. You have no right to regret it after you crossed my line!" Lu Mengyao said with a forced smile. "I sent the news of Xia Wan Ning joining the crew to the marketing accounts. I arranged for all the scandals to be exposed. If you dare to mess with me again, I will let Xia Wan Ning cool off for a while and let you be hot on the headlines for a while. It will be more interesting to expose your shady dealings with male celebrities than Xia Wan Ning's.
