Chapter 399: Chapter 399: Rebellious Son_1

"Don’t worry, Young Master Du, everything is settled now. Wu Kun, that guy, is like a grandchild in front of me.

He agreed without even a couple of words.

You just relax."

After hanging up the phone, Wu Pengtian couldn’t help but think of Jingjing’s enchanting appearance.

If he managed to pull this off, Du Haiyue would eventually have to let him have a turn after having his fill.

This film would probably make Jingjing an overnight sensation; wouldn’t that mean he’d basically be playing with a big star?

Just the thought of it felt thrilling.

Of course, women were just external possessions and not really what he cared about the most.

What he cared about most was brown-nosing Du Haiyue to make the Wu Family even stronger.

That way, his own face and status would rise even higher.

"Once Wu Kun calls back to confirm, I’ll go to old man and ask for my rewards!"

Wu Pengtian was beside himself with excitement.

As he was pondering, the phone call came.

"President Wu, have you thought about what to do?"

Wu Pengtian asked with a smile.

"Rest assured, Young Master Wu, I guarantee the two people you designated will become the leads.

But I must remind you of something.

If this deal goes through, backing out won’t be so easy.

Are you seriously planning on going through with this?"

Wu Kun spoke from the other end of the phone.

"Nonsense, why would I back out? What a joke, that’s all then."

Wu Pengtian felt Wu Kun’s question was utterly nonsensical.

It was his own idea to begin with; why would he regret it?

"Good, if Young Master Wu has decided, then let’s leave it at that!"

After hanging up, Wu Pengtian didn’t bother to consider whether there was anything amiss about Wu Kun’s words on the phone.

All he could think about was the rewards he would receive.

After all, having done such a big favor, both Du Haiyue and the Wu Family should be thankful to him.

The thought made it impossible for him to hold back any longer.

He immediately called Du Hai to claim credit.

On the other end, Du Haiyue’s phone transmitted strange noises, as if someone were wailing.

Wu Pengtian cursed under his breath, annoyed that while he was busy handling matters, Du Haiyue was enjoying himself at home.

He wondered how skilled Jingjing really was.

"Never mind, she’ll be mine sooner or later!"

Wu Pengtian clenched his teeth and then hung up the phone, heading straight home.

At the Wu Family residence, the Family Head Wu Ming was drinking red wine, his expression one of relieved sighs.

In truth, Wu Ming felt as if he had been resurrected from the dead.

He was drinking to alleviate stress.

Right at that moment, Wu Pengtian returned.

Seeing Wu Pengtian’s elated appearance, Wu Ming smiled and said, "What, did Du Hai give you some sort of treat today, to make you so happy?"

Wu Pengtian smiled and said, "Dad, I’ve achieved a great feat for our Wu Family this time.

How do you plan to reward me?"

"What great feat?"

Wu Ming suddenly had a bad feeling.

Since Wu Pengtian was young, he had never been serious about his work, and they had been careless in disciplining him; his mother doted on this son even more so.

The unreliable things that Wu Pengtian had done since childhood were indeed numerous.

Every time Wu Pengtian seemed this cheerful, it probably meant nothing good.

"Just don’t cause trouble for me out there, I almost got sacked over your issue just now."

Wu Ming was jittery when he mentioned this matter.

In Tianhai City, he was a junior executive.

He managed the entertainment circle.

It wasn’t that he was particularly capable, but because their Wu Family had always been involved in the entertainment industry.

With his position, more conveniences came.

The position wasn’t high-ranking, yet the power was significant.

A few days ago, Wu Pengtian spoke of reserving a supporting role.

"They said someone had already paid."

Wu Ming was about to call Wu Kun to sort the thing out.

Although his son was irresponsible, after all, they had taken the money, so they had to do the job.

This was normally a common thing and had never gone wrong before.

But this time it was like they had really seen a ghost.

The big boss at the top of the pyramid actually stepped in personally and took action against everyone who tried to secure reserved spots from Tianhai Entertainment.

Those people were either fined and demoted or directly fired; the lighter sentences were verbal warnings.

Wu Ming felt like he had come back from the dead because he hadn’t yet made that call.

His best friend, who was also his immediate superior, had not been so lucky.

Directly fired from his position and permanently blacklisted.

He still remembered the way his friend had returned, looking completely despondent.

He had actually fainted in the office and was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment.

He didn’t know what would have happened if he’d made that call too.

But he was really scared.

That’s why he kept drinking, to calm his nerves.

Who would dare to ask Tianhai Entertainment for reserved spots at this critical juncture? It was simply courting death.

"What’s the matter with me?"

Wu Pengtian was taken aback for a moment.

"It’s about that reserved secondary role thing. Hurry up and refund the money.

With all the trouble happening now, don’t let this small amount of money ruin the little power your dad has left."

Wu Ming said irritably.

"Psh, I thought it was something serious. Dad, you’re really useless."

Wu Pengtian said disdainfully, "Is it just about a secondary role spot that you’re this scared?

I went straight for the reserved spots of the male and female leads.

Oh, and the good news I was just about to tell you is exactly this!

Surprising, isn’t it?

Exciting or not?"

"Damn it!"

Wu Ming almost spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling dizzy and blacking out. "What are you saying, you asked Wu Kun for the male and female leads’ reserved spots?

He agreed?"

Wu Pengtian said proudly, "Would he dare not to? I have Du Haiyue and the Du Family backing me up.

If he disagrees, he won’t even feel safe stepping outside.

How about that, Dad? I did such a great service for the Du Family; they’re sure to take care of our Wu Family, right?

Isn’t this a great contribution to the Wu Family?"

He was still oblivious to his father’s distress, going on and on, making himself out to be like Guan Yunchang for Shu Han, a man of great merit.

"Slap!"

Wu Ming suddenly slapped him across the face: "You unfilial son! You’re going to get me killed!"

This time, blood really did seep from the corner of Wu Ming’s mouth; he was literally hurt inwardly by anger!

Good heavens, those people were merely asking for a secondary role, yet they were demoted and had their salaries cut.

This was about the spots of male and female leads.

What to do, what can be done?

This unfilial son has just pushed him into an abyss.

Forget his position; the Wu Family’s status in the entertainment industry would likely plummet significantly.

Trouble!

Why didn’t I kill this unfilial son earlier, to avoid reaching this stage?

"Dad, you hit me? You’ve never hit me from childhood until now.

Are you going crazy today?"

Wu Pengtian didn’t understand: "I’ll tell Mom. Is it just about securing two lead roles? It’s not a big deal.

And you hit me for it?"

"Bang!"

This time it wasn’t a slap.

Wu Ming picked up a wine bottle from the table and smashed it at him.
