Wu Yuandong once again drove north on the highway back to Jibei City. Ling Zhiling, who was sitting in the back of the car, felt a little uneasy. Until now, President Zuo still did not know that Xu Yun would not go back with her and Wu Yuandong today. Should she tell President Zuo the truth when she explained later? Although Xu Yun did not seem to avoid the fact that he owned a hotel in Hedong City, Ling Zhiling felt that she should try her best to avoid this problem.
The road from Hedong City to Jibei City spanned from north to south across Jiangbei Province. It was considered the middle point between Jiangnan Province and Suhang. Therefore, Wu Yuandong rushed back without stopping. Finally, he slowly drove the car into the building of Jibei Entertainment Group before five o 'clock.
"Miss Ling, you go up first. I'll park the car in the basement." After Wu Yuandong parked the car, he informed Ling Zhiling. Ling Zhiling took a few deep breaths, then nodded firmly and got out of the car.
Seeing Ling Zhiling come back, everyone, from the security guards at the door to the reception manager in the lobby, greeted her. Of course, the reception manager in the lobby was very curious why the mysterious handsome man did not come back with Ling Zhiling. However, she saw that Ling Zhiling was in a hurry to go to President Zuo's office, so she did not ask any more questions.
After Ling Zhiling got into the elevator, she went directly to Zuo Meiyan's office on the top floor. When the president's assistant, Li Sisi, saw Ling Zhiling, she immediately went up to her and said, "Miss Ling, President Zuo has been waiting for you for a long time." As she spoke, she looked behind her and saw that Ling Zhiling was alone. She looked a little confused, but she still extended her hand and invited Ling Zhiling into the office.
"President Zuo." Ling Zhiling lightly knocked on the door and walked in.
In the office, Zuo Meiyan and Feng Ying were chatting. When they saw Ling Zhiling come in, Zuo Meiyan was in a good mood. "You're finally back. I was just about to call Wu Yuandong to ask where you are."
At that moment, Ling Zhiling closed the door to the office.
Zuo Meiyan was stunned. "Alone?" Zuo Meiyan finally asked the question that Li Sisi had not asked. "Where's Xu Yun? Didn't he come up with you? "
Feng Ying seemed to realize something. She was already holding her phone in her hand, ready to call and cancel the hotel that Zuo Meiyan had asked her to book.
"Director Zuo, Xu … No, the Crown Prince has something else to do, so he didn't return to Ji Bei with us." Ling Zhiling said awkwardly, "He said he would call you to explain, so we didn't dare to ask too much."
Zuo Meiyan's heart sank. She let out a long sigh. "He didn't return to the Northern Meadows with you? Then where did he go? That little brat at the Tang Corps needs him to help her do something big to stabilize her foundation. How could he not come back just because he said he wouldn't? "
"This …" Ling Zhiling was stunned.
At this time, Feng Ying had already dialed a number. She got up and walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window. The call was quickly connected. "Hello, I'm Feng Ying from the Tang Corporation. I'm sorry, but please help me return the table of food I just booked. The guest can't come today … Thank you, sorry to trouble you."
Of course, Zuo Meiyan could hear Feng Ying on the phone. Feng Ying knew her very well and knew who she had booked the hotel for. Now that Xu Yun wasn't coming, she wasn't in the mood to go.
"You don't need to tell me where he went." Zuo Meiyan nodded thoughtfully. She then said to Feng Ying, "Sister Feng Ying, can you go out for a moment? I have something to discuss with Ling Zhiling alone."
"Okay." Feng Ying nodded. Although Zuo Meiyan wasn't going to hold a welcoming dinner for Ling Zhiling today, Ling Zhiling was still someone that Zhang Taisui had promoted. Therefore, she had to give her some face. "Ling Zhiling, I'll treat you to Haidilao later. How about it? "
Ling Zhiling looked at Feng Ying gratefully. "Thank you, Sister Feng Ying."
After saying that, Feng Ying patted Zuo Meiyan's shoulder again. "You should know what kind of personality your Crown Prince has. Don't make things difficult for Zhi Ling. Her words don't have much power in front of him. If you can't stop her, do you still expect Zhi Ling to force her to stay?"
"I know." Zuo Meiyan glanced to the side and urged, "Okay, okay. Hurry up and go."
Feng Ying was the secretary of Sky Entertainment Group, but in everyone's eyes, she was a big sister. Zuo Meiyan had always been grateful to Feng Ying for taking care of her. When she was helpless, Feng Ying had always helped her through difficult times.
"Let's go." Zuo Meiyan walked to the door. She didn't forget to remind Ling Zhiling, "Remember to eat Haidilao with me tonight."
Ling Zhiling smiled as she watched Feng Ying leave Zuo Meiyan's office.
Feng Ying had just stepped out of the door when Zuo Meiyan said, "Ling Zhiling, I know you know where Xu Yun is right now, but I won't make things difficult for you. Since he said he would call me to explain, I believe he will do it. I'll wait for his call. It's been hard on you this time. Just now, I was a bit emotional. I hope you can understand. Relax with Big Sister Feng Ying tonight. I actually want to go with you, but I'm a bit tired. "
Ling Zhiling knew very well that although they often looked like sisters, in terms of status, there was still a difference between a boss and an artist. No matter how A-list she was, no matter how famous she was, Zuo Meiyan was still her boss. It was her boss who packaged her that made her who she was today. This logic was actually very simple. Many people could understand it.
"President Zuo, I admit that I do know where the Crown Prince is right now, but it's better for him to explain to you himself. There are some things that I don't know, so I won't explain," Ling Zhiling said bluntly.
"Ling Zhiling, do you know why I arranged for Xu Yun to film this commercial with you?" Zuo Meiyan said calmly, "If I tell you, I hope you won't be angry at me. I just thought of it and then did it. Now that I think about it, I've let you down. "
Ling Zhiling paused. She didn't understand why Zuo Meiyan would say this. "President Zuo, what do you mean?"
"Did you know that before my master passed away, Sky Entertainment decided to make you into a goddess in Hua Xia and an idol in women's hearts?" Zuo Meiyan said, "Why did Sky Entertainment do this instead of spending more money on Bing Bing? It's because your positions are different. You're a woman's idol, a goddess in the eyes of otakus, while Bing Bing is a woman's public enemy, a vixen in the eyes of otakus."
Ling Zhiling knew all of this. Her relationship with Bing Bing wasn't something that could be explained in a few words.
"Actually, for this commercial, they were looking for Bing Bing. They liked Bing Bing's charm, that kind of seduction. But in the end, I convinced Mr. Isolda to recommend you. " Zuo Meiyan said indifferently, "I've already arranged everything from the start. I've already decided to let Xu Yun handle this matter. That's why I strongly recommended you. If it wasn't for Xu Yun, I would've arranged for Bing Bing to do this commercial. "
Ling Zhiling was startled, "Why? Why do you want me to partner with the Crown Prince? "
Zuo Meiyan said calmly, "Because Bing Bing gives men the impression that she's too seductive, and she's too direct. Although Bing Bing sometimes goes overboard, it's also because of her straightforward personality. But you're different. You're more scheming than her, and you don't do things so directly. Your femininity isn't seductive, but it's more seductive than her straightforward seduction. "
Hearing this, Ling Zhiling seemed to understand Zuo Meiyan's intentions. She had deliberately arranged for Xu Yun to be with her. Although Zuo Meiyan hadn't said her intentions, Ling Zhiling already knew that it was terrifying. She knew that Zuo Meiyan liked Xu Yun, but she still deliberately arranged for them to be together. Just thinking about it made her tremble.
"Director Zuo, you actually arranged for me to seduce Xu Yun?!" Ling Zhiling couldn't help but ask.
"Yes." Zuo Meiyan actually nodded and didn't deny the truth, "That's what I was thinking, because I knew that you wouldn't do it too obviously. Zhiling, you've been popular in the entertainment industry for so many years. If there's such a good opportunity to rise up, based on my understanding of you, you wouldn't miss it. So I believe that you'll do everything in your power to make Xu Yun fall in love with you. "
Ling Zhiling stared at Zuo Meiyan with wide eyes, "Why would you do this? Director Zuo, why did you set this up? Didn't you think of the consequences? If something really happened between me and Xu Yun, you'll definitely regret it! "
"If you say that, then it means that I made the right bet. Nothing happened between you and Xu Yun," Zuo Meiyan said calmly. Zuo Meiyan said indifferently, "It's because I believe in Xu Yun's willpower that I let you do this experiment. I know very well why he didn't do anything to you … it must be because he has someone in his heart, but that person is definitely not me."
"Director Zuo, you really shouldn't have done this." It was reasonable for Ling Zhiling to be angry, "This is a form of harm to me and the Crown Prince! I really can't calm down after what you've done. I'm sorry, Director Zuo, I think I'll leave first. "
Ling Zhiling stood up and left after speaking. Although Zuo Meiyan had the right to tell her to stop, she didn't do so. She seemed to have realized her mistake.
Ling Zhiling had just walked out of the office when Feng Ying grabbed her hand, "Zhiling, sometimes Meiyan does things selfishly, but this wasn't her intention. If you know her past, you'll understand why she did this. Of course, this is her fault. Before you came back, she talked to me and I criticized her. She also knows that she went overboard. "
"Sister Feng Ying …" Ling Zhiling felt wronged. She felt like she was a chess piece. Even if Zuo Meiyan was the boss, she didn't have the right to do this.
