Qiao Jiaxi looked at Lin Shanchu in disbelief.
Lin Shanchu gestured for the celebrity director to leave.
After the celebrity director left, Qiao Jiaxi asked, âWhy did you sign me?â
âBecause youâre no worse than Tang Qidai. â Lin Shanchuâs expression was lazy, yet her tone was serious.
This sentence resonated with Qiao Jiaxiâs truest thoughts.
She had always thought that she was not inferior to Tang Qidai, but in the end, her career wasnât as successtul as the latterâs.
She tried to curry favor with Tang Qidai because she wanted to sign a contract with a big company like the Lu Corporation.
As a result, Tang Qidai either dragged it out or refused to reply to her.
Despite being overjoyed, Qiao Jiaxi pushed the contract away with the last bit of rationality she had. âThereâs bad blood between us. I refuse to believe that youâre this kind.â
âItâs true that we have bad blood between us, and Iâm not a kind person. I signed you because of your ability. An outstanding person like you will definitely be famous in the future.â
Lin Shanchu was paying attention to Qiao Jiaxiâs expression as she spoke.
Everyone loved flattery.
Qiao Jiaxi raised her chin slightly, unable to hide the smile on her face.
People like Qiao Jiaxi who were ambitious but did not know their own limits were the easiest to coax.
Otherwise, Tang Qidai wouldnât have been able to make Qiao Jiaxi submit to her just like that.
Everyone knew how to paint a rosy picture for others.
As long as the picture was beautiful enough, anyone couldâve thought that it was a dream come true.
âAs one of the shareholders of the company, the most important thing for me now is to show everyone some results,â Lin Shanchu continued.
She pushed the contract toward Qiao Jiaxi. âI believe that you wonât disappoint me.â
Lin Shanchuâs words were exactly what Qiao Jiaxi wanted to hear.
Qiao Jiaxi had been coaxed into a daze, so she completely believed Lin Shanchuâs words.
âDonât worry, I wonât let you down.â Qiao Jiaxi confidently picked up the pen and signed the contract.
After signing the contract, Qiao Jiaxi said confidently, âIâll definitely be more popular than Tang Qidai. Iâll also find out what happened to Jing Ming.â
âI trust you,â Lin Shanchu replied with a smile.
She believed that Qiao Jiaxi would definitely create more trouble for Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai.
There was still more than a month before the recording of âMy Stageâ would end.
In the meantime, she could only find someone else to play with Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai.
Lin Shanchu brought Qiao Jiaxi to meet the celebrity director.
Just as they reached the door, they heard Tang Qidaiâs voice coming from inside.
âIâll go up and look for Brother Shiyuan to help me resume my work later.
Hurry up and arrange my scheduleâ¦â
Qiao Jiaxi looked at Tang Qidai with disdain.
She would soon replace that woman.
Tang Qidai still had no idea what awaited her.
Lin Shanchu glanced at Qiao Jiaxi without batting an eyelid, then pushed the door open and entered.
âPresident Lin.â The celebrity director immediately stood up.
Tang Qidaiâs expression changed when she saw Lin Shanchu, but she didnât greet her.
Lin Shanchu walked up to Tang Qidai. âSince youâre so eager to resume your work, I think youâre already well-adjusted. You may return to work.â
Lin Shanchuâs tone didnât contain any excessive emotions, but her attitude was very condescending.
Tang Qidai had always had the upper hand in a confrontation between the two.
However, things were different now.
She had no choice but to swallow her anger.
Tang Qidai replied indignantly, âYou donât have to worry about my work. Brother Shiyuan will arrange everything for me.â
âHow can I not worry? Weâre good friends, after all.â Lin Shanchuâs smile was bright and alluring, but it sent chills down Tang Qidaiâs spine.
Lin Shanchu then instructed the celebrity director. âBring Kong Suyi back as well. She is, after all, an experienced manager in the company. Although she has failed in her duties, everyone knows how capable she is. â
âAll right.â
Lin Shanchu pulled Qiao Jiahxi, who was behind her, to the front.
âThis is Qiao Jiaxi. Sheâs a new celebrity Iâve signed on to. Sheâs a pretty good newbie. When Iâm not around, please help me take care of her, Director. â
Qiao Jiaxi didnât expect Lin Shanchu to praise her in front of the celebrity director and even personally ask him to take care of her.
It seemed that Lin Shanchu really valued her.
Qiao Jiaxi walked forward with her head held high. âHello, Director. Iâm Qiao
Jiaxi. Please take care of me.â
After she finished speaking, she stared straight at the director without a trace of humility in her tone.
âHello.â The celebrity director smiled calmly.
Qiao Jiaxi had a small frame, so Tang Qidai didnât notice her when she was standing behind Lin Shanchu.
âWhy are you here?â Tang Qidai asked in surprise.
âDidnât you hear what President Lin said? Iâm her newest celebrity. Weâll be colleagues from now on, dear cousin.â Qiao Jiaxi walked up to Tang Qidai provocatively.
âJiaxi and Qidai are cousins?â the celebrity director asked in surprise.
Qiao Jiaxi spoke before Tang Qidai could.
âThatâs right. Although my cousin is just a child my uncle adopted from an orphanage, weâre very close. Weâve been together since we were young.
Qiao Jiaxi also despised Tang Qidai from the bottom of her heart.
She was just a mutt that no one wanted. She only got to where she was today because of Lu Shiyuanâs affection toward her.
The only reason she was so close to Tang Qidai was that she wanted to bask in the Lu Corporationâs glory.
Since she hadnât gotten anything out of it so far, she decided to expose Tang Qidaiâs past as retaliation.
It was a simple sentence, but it contained a lot of information.
Tang Qidai debuted as a rich young lady, and the company also dropped some news and hints about her being born into a wealthy family.
The truth was, the Tang family did run a company, but they were not considered wealthy.
The celebrity director did not expect that Tang Qidai was not the Tang familyâs biological daughter.
He had gone through a lot before, so he quickly calmed down. âThatâs nice. Both of you can take care of each other.â
âYou will definitely take good care of me, right cousin?â Qiao Jiaxi deliberately hooked her arm around Tang Qidaiâs arm.
Tang Qidai resisted the urge to shake her off as she replied through gritted teeth, âDonât worry, I will definitely take good care of you.â
âIn that case, let Kong Suyi take care of Jiaxi as well. What do you think, President Lin? â The celebrity director smiled warmly.
âAll right.â Lin Shanchu nodded. âKong Suyi is experienced and capable. It wonât be a problem for her to manage two celebrities. â
Qiao Jiaxi had already determined that Lin Shanchu valued her very much, so she felt that every decision Lin Shanchu made was for her own good.
Naturally, there were no objections.
Besides, if she had the same manager as Tang Qidai, wouldnât it be easier for her to steal Tang Qidaiâs resources and replace her?
Qiao Jiaxi was taken away by the celebrity director.
Tang Qidai followed Lin Shanchu out of the office.
She stopped the latter when they reached a deserted area.
âLin Shanchu, did you deliberately plant that idiot Qiao Jiaxi into the company?
Stop dreaming! Sheâs no match for me at all!â
Lin Shanchu was clearly going to attack them head-on.
She couldnât just remain as a sitting duck.
She wanted Lin Shanchu to know that she wasnât someone that could be easily dealt with.
âDidnât anyone teach you that itâs rude to speak ill of others behind their backs?â Lin Shanchu looked over Tang Qidaiâs shoulder and behind her..
