Chapter 500: 484 Si Younian escapes from the drinking party

The brilliant red wine, which should have been ice-cold, poured over the Executive Director’s face, appeared so fervently impatient.

Si Younian was well aware of what this act meant.

He fled in a panic, not caring about Guan Chun’s apologetic demeanor behind him, and quickly returned to the hotel.

Unexpectedly, Guan Chun raced over, blocking the door before he could pack up and leave.

Si Younian even looked back to assure that Guan Chun hadn’t brought the Executive Director along before he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Don’t blame him for being timid; it’s just that Guan Chun at this moment was truly terrifying... She was really capable of doing such things.

Guan Chun, seeing that he didn’t appreciate the situation, had long since replaced her affable demeanor with an icy, scornful one.

"Si Younian, when the company used to pamper you and let you remain chaste, it was out of respect for you! But how long have you been a big hit? Your wings have grown hard? You no longer listen to the company’s arrangements? Do you really think President Yue will always stand by your side?

Wake up! Open your eyes and look at the world outside! Not to go too far, but among the recently popular boy bands, which one isn’t younger and more advantageous than you? How large is their fan base? They receive millions of votes just for rankings! Can you compare with that?!

And take Zhongxing, they’ve got a new, naive, and wealthy owner willing to lavish them with endless resources. Just considering Meng Chengchu, who wasn’t even good enough to play a supporting role in a reality show with you before! What about now? He’s making a direct foray into the film industry! The official announcement states that after the New Year, he will join Director Er’s new film as the male lead!

And you, Si Younian? Sure, you’ve made a splash for a while, helping the company gain some traction! But opportunities don’t come all the time; if you don’t seize the chance to climb up, there are plenty of people waiting to step on your head!

For so long, you’ve turned down TV dramas, films, claiming the roles offered to you weren’t to your liking? Celebrities need exposure! You can’t just sit back and do nothing because there are no good scripts! You even refused to go on reality TV! And now, you’ve managed to ruin the DLRS endorsement that was finally coming your way! Do you believe that if you don’t go and apologize to the Executive Director tonight, by morning they can officially announce a collaboration with another celebrity for the endorsement?!"

Listening, Si Younian couldn’t help but laugh, his handsome and clean face showing a mocking expression as if he saw through her.

"Sister Guan, you speak so righteously, but isn’t it all the same thing? You want to send me to the Executive Director’s bed, don’t you?"

Guan Chun’s gaze dodged for a moment: "I’m telling you to apologize. Can’t you understand the meaning of an apology?"

Her voice was loud, as if trying to cover up her own guilt?

Si Younian shook his head, his eyes filled with extreme disappointment: "I really didn’t know... when did you start to change... Sister Guan, this is the last time I will address you that way. To be honest, I won’t be going to the Executive Director’s place like a lamb to the slaughter, no matter what you say tonight, I won’t go!"

"Si Younian, have your wings hardened?!"

"Don’t threaten me with the company or employees, Agent Guan. I’m an artist, not an owner. I do my best in building up the company, but it’s the owner’s job to solve employees’ difficulties, you can’t morally blackmail me."

Guan Chun didn’t expect Si Younian, who usually seemed to be laid-back and detached, to be so stubborn?!

"You—"

"My contract with Soaring Sky is almost up at the beginning of the year. If Agent Guan doesn’t want to kill her career by letting me terminate the contract early, then don’t force me to do things I don’t want to do!"

Si Younian’s black eyes slowly turned icy, he spoke deliberately and with all his strength: "The Executive Director... is truly... disgusting."

Guan Chun was out of moves. She had planned to use a drug in the drink, hoping even a sip by Si Younian would do the job.

Tonight, she could not only satisfy the Executive Director but also grab hold of Si Younian’s weakness, ensuring his compliant contract renewal... and for herself, a fair share of resources...

Such a perfect triple win scenario, all ruined by Si Younian’s actions?!

He actually had the nerve to... throw the drink on him!

Guan Chun knew she had almost made an irreparable enemy of the Executive Director tonight!

She rushed back, hoping to deceive Si Younian once more. If she could just coax him there, there were plenty of ways to handle him.

Who would have thought she’d meet with such a thorough defeat.

Her phone wouldn’t stop vibrating. Irritated, Guan Chun picked it up to see that it was the Executive Director’s assistant calling.

She swallowed a mouthful of the cold, lifeless air, not wanting to entangle with Si Younian any further. After dropping a harsh remark, she slammed the door and left.

The night was getting cold.

The cold wind blowing through the window made Si Younian shiver momentarily.

After hearing the sound of the slamming door, he almost ran barefoot to lock it from the inside.

Only after making sure the door couldn’t be opened from the outside did he sit back down on the bed, his strength seemingly drained, slumped and powerless.

Huddled in a corner, large teardrops slowly fell under his wet lashes.

Like a wounded little animal.

Sister Guan had been with him for four years!

In that time, he had watched Sister Guan grow from a minor agent into a powerful figure.

Apart from him, Guan Chun had several other newly debuted artists under her management.

Soaring Sky even gave her the first pick of many new artists before distributing them to other agents.

Human desires can change, and with the support of resources, they only grew larger and larger!

Si Younian inadvertently discovered that Guan Chun would take new artists to banquets, and he noticed the faint red marks on the artists’ necks and collarbones when they returned.

He didn’t dare to think the worst of people...

But he never expected that Guan Chun... would finally turn against him.

To him, the events of this night were not just about Guan Chun’s change in attitude... Si Younian truly considered Guan Chun a friend...

The feeling of betrayal hurt him deeply.

His phone lit up again at his feet, and Si Younian, through his tears, saw an unfamiliar number.

Xue Yi crouched in the stairwell, calling Si Younian’s phone for the third time.

The first time, his agent mocked him before hanging up.

The second time, the call was directly disconnected...

The third time...

Normally, after being hung up on twice in a row, he wouldn’t have the courage to call again.

But the Xue Yi of today had long forgotten what shame was.

He had only one goal in his mind—to complete the mission President Yue had given him and poach Si Younian!

After seven or eight rings, just as Xue Yi thought he would be hung up on again, the call suddenly connected.

Si Younian’s voice sounded utterly exhausted, "Hello, who is this?"

"Senior?" Xue Yi was somewhat surprised.

He recognized Si Younian’s voice, but the senior’s tone was always gentle, and now it sounded... so defeated?!

It wasn’t fatigue, but an extreme emotional low, as if he had encountered some setback?

"Senior, it’s Xue Yi, do... do you still remember me?"

"Xue Yi?" Si Younian lifted his head a little, "You... how could I not have saved your number?"

He regretted it immediately after speaking.

It must have been Sister Guan’s doing!

But Xue Yi shouldn’t know that his number had been deleted, right? Now that he had said it, wouldn’t it make him feel awful?!
