Lei Ming was unlike Liang Feixing. Although he was big-sized, he had a delicate personality and would not utter back a word even after getting scolded. He just sat there quietly.
âUseless thing, youâre keeping quiet after things have gone wrong! Youâre even worse than a womanâ¦â As Yi Xudong was saying more and more harsh words, the office door was pushed open suddenly. A drunk middle-aged man came tumbling in.
The man had a bottle of alcohol in his hand, while his outfit was messy and reeked of alcohol. He spoke to Yi Xudong, âCEO Yi, you⦠are you looking for me?â
Yi Xudongâs expression soured when he saw the person who came in. âXu Tao! Look at yourself! Let me ask you what happened to the few female artistes under you? You spent a long time bringing them up, but why are they all quitting all of a sudden?! And I only found out about it after I received the letters from the lawyers!â
âRan away⦠ran away⦠Damn it⦠haha⦠I donât even put in that much effort taking care of my daughter⦠Iâm treating them like my own children, my princessesâ¦
âI drank until my stomach has internal bleeding just to get them an advertisement⦠Iâve never made them drink beforeâ¦
âIn the end, they were scouted away and theyâre telling people that I harassed them sexually, that Iâm making them doing stuff they are unwilling to⦠and Iâm torturing them⦠bullying them⦠hahaha⦠Iâm torturing themâ¦â Xu Tao kept on rambling as he continued drinking.
Yi Xudong was really furious at him. âThatâs because youâre trash! Useless! You canât even manage a few girls!â
Xu Taoâs eyes suddenly turned cold and he sneered, âYi Xudong, donât you dare yell at me! When I was at the top of the industry as the best manager, you were still in your motherâs arms!
âSecond Master scouted me to come here! When I was with Second Master enjoying life, regardless of which artiste, even the big shots would rather be polite to me. Even an idiot like you would have to call me Bro Tao! Ask your conscience who the hell is it for that Iâve fallen into such a state?!â
Xu Tao then smashed his bottle, scattering broken pieces all over the ground.
Liang Feixing frowned and went over to him. âThatâs enough, Xu.â
Lei Ming went over to hold him back as well. âLetâs go.â
They both knew that in the whole of this company, the most bitter person was Xu Tao.
When he was at his peak, Zheng Anru had just been a little assistant under him.
When Han Zixuan and her manager Zheng Anru took away most of the opportunities together with a big batch of new artistes, and after Ling Zhizhi left as well, Xu Tao held the fort on his own. He started looking for partnerships everywhere, getting his resources back persistently. He forced himself to bring up more and more artistes under the tough environment created by Starlight Entertainment. Because he had been perceived as a significant obstacle by Starlight Entertainment and Zheng Anru, he encountered trouble before.
There was once when he had been beaten up by a bunch of thugs in an alley and ended up in the hospital for about a monthâ¦
A strong, iron-willed man had finally broken down after the two artistes he groomed suddenly left him without any pretense at allâ¦
âLiang, Lei Ming, do you know how the heck Iâm feeling right now?â Xu Tao punched his chest savagely. âIt feels like my damned wife ran away with someone elseâ¦â
