Yun Liu was angry enough to throw a fit, but she didnât know what to say.
Yun Zhang watched as they got further and further away from the Gu family residence and finally heaved a sigh of relief before saying calmly, âNot only did the Yun Corporation fail to improve in your hands, it has fallen to this point. What, you still want to hold on to it?â
Yun Liu bit her lip tightly. She had nothing to say to that.
âYun Entertainment is my lifeâs work! Iâm not going to leave it unattended!â Yun Zhang concluded.
Tan Ningâs heart sank when Yun Zhang and Yun Liu appeared at Yun Entertainment together. âPresident Yun, y-youâre here?â She forced a smile and went forward to welcome him with a bow, the hand placed behind her back signaling the crowd of workers to quickly clear the area.
Yun Liu finally relaxed after seeing that everyone had left. âYun Zhang,â she said coldly, âwhat do you want? Stop with the excuse that youâre doing this for my own good, okay? Itâs just some negative publicity, no big deal. Are you going to joke about our relationship like this? Donât you think things are chaotic enough as it is?â
Stumped, Tan Ning asked, âWhat do you mean? You two, havenât you two already officially announced your relationship? Yun Liu, when I asked you, didnât you say that youâve already thought it through?â
Yun Liu glared at her frostily and roared, âThought what through? I was talking about Shi Nian back then!â
Tan Ning blurted out, âBut today, weâ¦w-we released a press release admitting you twoâs relationshipâ¦â She stared at Yun Zhang and Yun Liu in despair as she finished.
Yun Liu was furious. She reached out and swept everything on the desk onto the floor. However, Yun Zhang smiled faintly at Tan Ning and said, âWell done.â Tan Ning didnât know what expression to put on in response for a moment.
âDo you really want to marry Shi Nian that badly?â Yun Zhang casually threw the question out as he examined the decorations in the office. Yun Liu huffily looked away and answered, âYou know I do! That has been my wish since I was a kid!â
âWell, Iâm afraid your childhood dream now has to become another story,â Yun Zhang said calmly. âAn adopted daughter slowly realized she couldnât live without her adoptive family after finding and returning to her biological parents. Moreover, she realized she had fallen in love with her adoptive brother whom she had grown up with. She kept denying it at first and even tried to stop and correct such feelings by going on blind dates and meeting different guys. However, in the end, she decided to be loyal to her heart.â
âWhat do you think of this story, Tan Ning? Is it aesthetic or romantic enough?â Yun Zhang smiled at Tan Ning, but his smile didnât reach his eyes. Tan Ning avoided his gaze and didnât dare to speak.
Yun Liu finally couldnât take it anymore and screamed, âYun Zhang, what on earth do you mean by that? Thatâs disgusting!â
âDisgusting? Whatâs so disgusting about it? Tan Ning, from a marketing perspective, this storyâs attractive enough, isnât it?â Yun Zhang asked Tan Ning. âItâll increase your online traffic.â
âI donât want to attract attention! I donât want online traffic!â Yun Liu retorted, trembling with anger. Tan Ning didnât dare say a word.
Yun Zhang slowly tucked his smile away. âYou donât want attention or online traffic. You merely want to be a mistress that everyone hates? Youâre so willing to cheapen yourself?! Yun Liu, I canât believe I never saw this of you in the past!â
Yun Liu and Tan Ning were stunned. Yun Zhang had never used such a tone or such words to speak to Yun Liu. Never!
Yun Zhang looked at them and uttered slowly, word by word, âFrom now on, clean up your act and stow away your little tricks and schemes. As long as Iâm here, you wonât make it to Shi Nianâs side in this lifetime!â
Yun Liu stared at him in a daze, something in her mind cracking open bit by bit. âYouâre helping Yun Nan?â
Yun Zhang stood up, smoothed the wrinkles from his clothes and looked around before stating, âIâm doing this for the Yun Corporation. Tan Ning, the Yun family doesnât support idlers. Arguably speaking, I should fire you since youâve betrayed me. Trust lost is hard to regain, but Iâll still give you another chance. Youâre quite capable, after all! Keep this in mind: Yun Entertainment belongs to the Yuns, and its owner is me, Yun Zhang!â
âIâm still leaving Yun Liuâs matter to you as before. If thereâs even the slightest mistake, Iâll make sure you wonât be able to gain a foothold in this industry or Rong City!â Yun Zhang headed towards the door and added, âGood job on the press release; keep up the hard work! Youâll only be in charge of Yun Liuâs matters from now on. We can talk about the next step for you when Iâm satisfied with you!â
He turned around when he got to the door as he suddenly thought of something and said, âHave Yun Liu focus on just her acting career like before. She need not get involved with any of the companyâs management. My woman should naturally live a pampered life and not put herself out there, troubling herself over work and so on!â
In short, Yun Liuâs freedom was restricted from now on. With that, Yun Zhang left and shut the door behind him.
Bang! Yun Liu threw a pen holder at the door. It bounced back and crashed to the ground.
âYun Zhang, come back here! What right do you have to treat me like this?! How dare you treat me like this!â Yun Liu cried and ran to pull open the door, but she found that it couldnât be opened at all. The door was locked from the outside.
