President Tang Teaches You How to Behave!

Humming～

As she drove at high speed, Bai Fengling was burning with anxiety.

However…

“Sorry!

The user you have dialed is currently in a call…”

After waiting a while, Bai Fengling tried again.

However, Tang Xiao’s phone was still in a call.

What a tragedy!

Could it be that Tang Xiao was on the phone with Wu Jie?

If she found out that she had almost engaged in nepotism, it would indeed be impossible to turn back.

But Bai Fengling dared not jump to conclusions.

After all, Wu Jie didn’t seem to be so petty, he probably wouldn’t tattle on her to Tang Xiao.

Hurry!

Faster!

Since the call couldn’t get through, Bai Fengling could only hope to see Tang Xiao as soon as possible, or even before Wu Jie.

She had to apologize to Tang Xiao!

To clarify that it was a moment of confusion, and not an actual desire to be corrupt.

She had not thought things through clearly, misjudged the situation, and took the wrong stance.

Then…

After all, they had dined together twice, and just last night, she was chatting and playing cards with the young friends of the Tang Family from Tianyuan.

Considering the not-so-bad personal relationship, Bai Fengling believed that Tang Xiao would give her a chance.

And if Tang Xiao agreed, Wu Jie should be no problem.

A little pillow talk should sort things out, right?

Moreover, since Tang Xiao was both Wu Jie’s lover and his superior, Wu Jie would surely listen to her.

However…

What Bai Fengling didn’t know was…

The situation was far worse than she had imagined.

Tang Xiao had organized Bai Fengling and Wu Jie to gather all the major film crews to resume shooting, while also coordinating a capable team to prepare for the company’s bankruptcy liquidation.

But the problems were too troublesome.

Wang Taixiong and many of the company’s managers were involved in very complex economic crimes.

During the investigation and evidence collection period, naturally, bankruptcy liquidation couldn’t proceed.

Moreover, when Wang Taixiong previously acquired shares, he financed them.

Among his financing parties were too many big shots who had been arrested or were on the run.

Whether the funds raised by Wang Taixiong were illegally obtained was a question.

If it was all dirty money, then the previous acquisition agreements would be invalid, and the company would still be wholly owned by the group.

But with those who fled fleeing, and those who were caught being apprehended, it was completely impossible to verify the fund’s status.

So, the entire case had become exceptionally complicated.

No one knew how long it would take to thoroughly investigate and deal with it, and only after the case was closed could bankruptcy liquidation proceed.

Therefore, Tang Xiao was calling the person in charge of the bankruptcy liquidation team.

Since the case was complicated, the decision was to first assist the police with the case while sorting out assets, liabilities, equity structures, the personnel system, and so on, with bankruptcy liquidation to follow once the case was settled.

After finishing the call, Tang Xiao proactively called Bai Fengling back.

By this time, Bai Fengling was stuck in traffic.

It was the rush hour at the weekend’s end, and the roads were jammed up like a logjam.

However, Bai Fengling also took this opportunity to clearly explain the situation to Tang Xiao.

After speaking, Bai Fengling kept apologizing, filled with regret.

“I’m sorry, President Tang, I misunderstood your intentions, I had the wrong perspective on dealing with the situation…”

Tang Xiao interrupted, “You don’t have to apologize, I had you and Jie gather the drama crew for a meeting, not to immediately invest or to have them start working.”

“Since you have differing opinions, and the company itself has significant problems, and the case is too complicated, let’s postpone it indefinitely!”

Upon hearing this, Bai Fengling felt as though her whole world had gone dark.

Indefinite postponement!!

What does that mean?

Clearly, with Wang Taixiong’s company gone, all the film crews could only be dissolved as well.

The group was only waiting to get the deserved 20% profit after the bankruptcy liquidation.

What about her?

Was she to start reaching out to other film and talent agencies to see if they could offer her some work?

But more than work, it was clear that she needed to sort out her personal relationships quickly!

“President Tang, I…

I feel like I might have offended Mr.

Wu!

What should I do?”

Upon hearing this, Tang Xiao laughed.

“Did you forget what I told you the night you arrived at Tianyuan, in the resting area of the private room?”

“Every year the entertainment industry launches a lot of newcomers, can you ensure you’ll remain popular forever?”

“And what’s the reality?

The promotion for the big project you starred in has ended, and you’ve been at Tianyuan for almost a week now, without having received a single job, right?”

“Even if you made some money doing promotions and live streaming with Jie, there’s not much left after buying a house, is there?”

“You can’t just sit back and consume your savings, you have to act early on how to make the best use of your advantages!”

It couldn’t be helped!

Tang Xiao didn’t usually talk this much, but who would have thought she punched Wu Jie in the morning, so her mood was pretty good all day?

And since Bai Fengling hadn’t made too big of a mistake, and everyone had a fairly good personal relationship, it was inevitable to offer a few more words of advice.

After Bai Fengling fell silent, she sighed:

“Yeah!

Setting up my own studio wasn’t smooth sailing either.

The capable ones are all busy, and those who aren’t up to par I can’t use.

It’s possible to get panicked when there’s no work, so before I knew it, I had a fallout with your husband.”

“It wasn’t really a fallout, was it?”

Tang Xiao smiled and said, “It’s normal to have disagreements at work.

He’s not so petty.

As for you, you must find a way out as soon as possible while you’re still hot right now, or you’ll face endless trouble later!”

Bai Fengling anxiously asked, “I know what to do about the work stuff, but I want to know, how should I apologize to Jie?”

“Whether you call or send a message, just do it however you see fit.

It’s not like you have some deep-seated grudge or something serious!

Alright, I’ve got things to do, let’s talk another time!”

Having said that, Tang Xiao hung up the phone.

Bai Fengling clenched her fist and pounded it on the steering wheel.

“I’m really out of my mind!

I got used to the protection from Liuli City and the Xu Family; I didn’t worry about film offers, and I wasn’t concerned about having no work!”

“Now that I need to stand on my own, I should have learned to network and gather connections, but look what I’ve done!”

At this moment, Bai Fengling almost regretted it to death.

She regretted that she shouldn’t have considered for those production crews, shouldn’t have stood on the wrong side.

She regretted even more that she was too arrogant, thinking that she had the right to represent the crew, to bargain with Wu Jie.

But what was the result?

On what basis did she represent the crew?

What was the result of her bargaining?

She hadn’t maintained the right stance, nor had she been clear about who she was.

She was merely an actor with some fame, after all.

What qualifications did she have to confront an investor?

Did she really think that Wu Jie was benevolent and easy to talk to?

And the most foolish thing was, Wu Jie had given her plenty of face, but Bai Fengling had not appreciated it.

Incredibly stupid!

Bai Fengling sighed, shook her head, and redirected her car toward Tianyuan Haoting.

Right before entering the underground garage, Bai Fengling noticed the previously seen sales office was already being surrounded by construction fences.

In front of the barricade in the small square, there were cargo containers from the decoration company, and also Wu Jie’s Mercedes.

The sounds of machinery roared from inside, Wu Jie and Zhang Hao were definitely busy with the renovation.

Without rashly interrupting, Bai Fengling parked her car back in her own garage and sat contemplating how to apologize.

She opened her phone and saw a chat group formed during last night’s card game, with a few unread messages.

Zhang Hao: “My parents are coming from our hometown; they’ve brought some local products.

Let’s all come to Building 3, Unit 801 at eight o’clock for dinner tonight!”

Tang Xin: “A feast, huh!

I’ll definitely come!”

Fang Qingya: “Can we have roast wild boar?

I miss the delicious roast from that night!

@Zhang Hao”

Lin Yuan: “You guys have fun, I have to go to the orphanage tonight, so I won’t make it.”

Tang Le: “I have to go back home on Friday evening, so Xiao Kang and I can’t come either.

Save some local products for us to eat when we get together next time!”

Tang Kun: “I’ll bring the booze.

How can you eat meat without drinking?

If I get drunk, I’ll just sleep over at your place!

@Zhang Hao”

…

Reading this, Bai Fengling became a little excited.

A dinner gathering tonight, wouldn’t that be the perfect occasion to apologize to Wu Jie?

Meanwhile.

Wu Jie and Zhang Hao’s family of three were coming out of the construction site, discussing the renovation.

Creating a ‘rustic farmhouse style’ was no easy feat, and there were still many decorative items missing.

Such as the hoes, sickles, iron plows, and cloaks—the kind of things used in rural farming.

Where could they buy these items?

And how to decorate and place them so they looked good and were safe?

The group of four chatted idly as they got into Wu Jie’s car, drove to the underground garage, then went upstairs to prepare for dinner.

As soon as they entered the house, Zhang Hao’s father, Zhang Biao, called the seller of farming tools in his hometown.

He asked them to help collect various items characteristic of rural farmers, get an address, and send them over by express delivery.

And his mother, Liu Qin, of course, asked Haizhu to quickly go to the kitchen and start preparing the dinner.

Having handed out cigarettes, Wu Jie stepped onto the balcony to return a call from Xu Xinyi who hadn’t answered earlier.

“I was at the construction site just now, too noisy to hear the phone.

What’s up?”

“My father’s funeral is tomorrow.

Are you guys coming?”

Wu Jie laughed in disbelief, “Definitely not!

My mother-in-law’s funeral, your father didn’t attend, how could my wife possibly show up for your father’s funeral?”

“Fair enough!

Let’s meet up sometime over the weekend!

I’ve inherited quite a bit of the family estate, but I don’t want to stay in Tianyuan.

I’d like to sell to you at a low price.

I only want cash to get out of here and leave the country as soon as possible.

If you take over, you’ll definitely make a profit!”

Wu Jie laughed and said, “Sounds good!

Get everything ready and we’ll talk when we meet up!”

“Sure!

I promise you won’t be disappointed!”

With a hum, he hung up the phone.

Turning around, Wu Jie saw Bai Fengling entering the door.

Living nearby, it was normal for her to be the first one to arrive at the gathering.

What wasn’t normal was that after handing her gift to Zhang Biao, Bai Fengling walked over excitedly and rushed up to him.

“Jie, I was wrong about what happened this afternoon, I apologize, I…

”

Wu Jie shook his head and smiled, “It’s okay, it’s just a small matter!”

Bai Fengling smiled apologetically and said, “Even though it’s a small matter, I feel like I was too narrow-minded.

Having never been a boss, I didn’t realize the hardships of being one, so I’m planning to mortgage my house to you and borrow some money to start my own film company!”

Wu Jie frowned slightly, “You’ve got guts!

That deserves support.

How much are you planning to borrow?”

“One billion!”

Bai Fengling stated bluntly.

Wu Jie stared in astonishment, “But your house is only worth fifty million!”

Bai Fengling turned to look behind her, then asked with a low laugh,

“What if I mortgage myself to you, would that work?”
