Feng Haoyang pinched his brow, finally giving up on communicating with her. Trying to explain things to an idiot was absolutely the stupidest thing he could do.
The company had invested a lot into Jia Qingqing, but there was no way to recover from the incident this time. No matter how massive the losses were, they could only give up on recovering them.
Seeing that Feng Haoyang was already decided, Jia Qingqing hurriedly pounced towards Ning Xueluo like she was grasping for life, “Xueluo-jie, you have to help me, let Chang-jie manage me! I guarantee that I’ll be obedient! I promise that I’ll post an apology!”
Hearing so, Chang Li’s expression immediately turned to horror. Letting her manage Jia Qingqing? Ning Xueluo wouldn’t do that, would she?
Of course, Ning Xueluo couldn’t possibly be as braindead as Jia Qingqing. With a troubled expression, she lamented, “Qingqing, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but you heard what Ning Xi said just now. She’s not willing to help. This is also the company’s decision, so I can’t do anything.”
Once this matter had blown up, she knew that Jia Qingqing was done for. However, she had wanted to use her to drag Ning Xi down to the very end. It was a pity that Feng Haoyang had already seen that apologies wouldn’t do anything at this point and might even drag another actress down, so he had finally decided to give up on Jia Qingqing.
She had thought that Jia Qingqing was a great weapon to use against Ning Xi. Who knew that she would be so stupid as to fall and even boost Ning Xi up along the way? How could she possibly waste any effort on someone like that?
“Ning Xi! You bitch! Just you wait, even if I die, I’m dragging you down with me!” Jia Qingqing finally turned to despair. She tried to vent her anger on Ning Xi, but Feng Haoyang called security and she was finally dragged out.
Ning Xi didn’t even want to waste any energy hating this kind of person. She only had some sympathy for her. She didn’t even know she had been used as cannon fodder up till now.
Feng Haoyang looked towards Ning Xi and his expression warmed up, “Ning Xi, just focus on doing well in your current movie. If the results are good, the company will focus more efforts on raising you. However, Xueluo’s words made sense. Keep a low profile and don’t cause any unneeded trouble.”
From the initial outburst of slander on Ning Xi to the final clearing of her innocence, with the result of forcing Jia Qingqing into retirement, the entie sequence of events seemed like a perfectly executed PR plan.
Although Feng Haoyang suspected that there was someone behind the scenes, he couldn’t find any cracks, so he could only assume that Ning Xi had great luck.
“Thank you, Director Feng, I will.” Ning Xi had pleasant surprise and fear written all over her face.
After leaving the meeting room, Ning Xi went to the restroom and Ning Xueluo hurriedly followed after.
Ning Xueluo crossed her arms over her chest and looked at her mockingly, “Ning Xi, by digging out other people’s skeletons, aren’t you afraid your own skeletons will be dug out of the closet by someone else someday?”
Ning Xi’s eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a cold glint. She immediately turned around and said indifferently, “Who doesn’t have a few skeletons around in this industry? Don’t you have them too? Miss Ning!”
Ning Xi purposely emphasised the surname ‘Ning’, then pretended to have suddenly realised something, “Ah! Speaking of which, doesn’t Jia Qingqing’s ‘mistress masquerading as fake rich heiress’ title suit you a lot? When the time comes for me to expose you, aren’t you saving me the trouble of thinking up a headline?”
It was as if Ning Xueluo’s weak point had been stabbed. She immediately said in rage, “What ‘mistress masquerading as fake rich heiress’! I’ve been in the Ning family since birth and I’m the only daughter that Father acknowledges! As for Su Yan, you failed to prevent his heart from wavering, do you think anyone will believe your nonsense?”
Ning Xi dragged out her words, “Then… shall we try it out? Why don’t I reveal my skeletons as well! There are so many people out there, the whereabouts of the two men you bribed are still unknown. Maybe I’ll have better luck searching for them publicly?”
Following that, Ning Xueluo quickly persuaded, “Junior Ning, I know you don’t feel comfortable about it, but you’re still in the wrong for this matter. You can’t let the grudge between the two of you affect the company! The only thing we can do now is to minimise the damage!”
Ning Xi looked calmly at Ning Xueluo, who appeared to be trying to protect the company, and said, “Senior, if I remember correctly, it was Jia Qingqing who was always against me and she was the one who kept trying to slander me. I always kept Chang-jie’s teachings in mind and tried not to embarrass the company, putting the company before myself. I endured it and remained silent. Even when I was slandered, I didn’t dare to trouble the company and I was only able to clear my reputation when some kind-hearted netizens and colleagues stepped out for me.”
“The only matter that the netizens and fans are protesting about now is regarding Jia Qingqing being kept as a mistress. Wasn’t it clearly Jia Qingqing who acted for her own interests without thinking about the company? She even framed an artiste in the same company and ruined the company’s image as a result. Don’t tell me that Senior means to say that if a mad dog falls into a ditch and dies while chasing you, then it’s your fault?”
If she tweeted about forgiving Jia Qingqing, then the reputation she had spent so much effort to clean would take a turn for the dumps again.
Forgiving someone like Jia Qingqing when the crowd was out for her blood; did she seriously take her for a fool?
Ning Xueluo almost choked to death on Ning Xi’s words. What kind-hearted netizens? She was clearly the one who had leaked that video. She had some nerve to be able to say that so calmly and innocently.
Jia Qingqing, who had just settled down not too long ago, immediately got agitated again, “Ning Xi, who are you calling a mad dog! Say it clearly! You…”
Seeing that Jia Qingqing was about to make a ruckus again, Feng Haoyang interrupted her: “There’s no need to post an apology anymore.”
“Really?” Jia Qingqing’s expression immediately turned to joy, but Feng Haoyang continued: “Qingqing, just write a letter explaining that you are going to retire!”
Jia Qingqing screamed, “Why? You’re making me retire from the entertainment circle? Why must I be the one retiring! I’m not going to write that letter!”
Feng Haoyang’s expression showed impatience, “By letting you write it yourself, I’m already giving you some dignity! Don’t throw this favour back in my face!”
“What’s wrong with being kept! In the entertainment industry, so many female stars have sponsors behind them, and so many of them are mistresses. Why do I have to retire!” Jia Qingqing couldn’t accept it.
“Only you were stupid enough to let it spread to the public!”
“That had nothing to do with me, it was all because that bitch Han Ying betrayed me! Why don’t you go and investigate her!”
“How am I supposed to investigate her when she has already resigned? Han Ying was the most even-tempered manager in this whole company. Ask yourself, other than her, who else could bear with your temper? It’s fine if you keep shouting at her and making a big fuss, but when her son had a high fever and she needed to go to the hospital, you refused to let her go. Eventually, by the time she rushed to the hospital at midnight, her son had to go into the ICU because he took a turn for the worse. He is still in critical condition right now!” Feng Yaohang listed her shortcomings one after another. It wasn’t just Han Ying, but even he was sick of cleaning up after Jia Qingqing’s reckless actions.
After hearing this, Jia Qingqing still didn’t feel like she had done anything wrong. Conversely, she said indifferently, “It’s not like he died in the end! There are doctors there for that kind of situation, what difference would it have made even if she had gone! Is it really worth pushing me into this hole?”
Even up to now, Jia Qingqing still didn’t understand why the normally weak Han Ying would suddenly do something like this. She had divorced with her husband and her son was sickly. He needed a large amount of medical fees every month. Without this job, how was she going to pay for all that?
She would never have guessed that someone like Liang Feixing would personally take action against such a small fry like her.
