Tianhu Hotel.
When Yang Si and Li Dong entered together, Li Qian and Su Man's faces instantly turned pale.
It would have been fine if they had apologized to Li Dong alone. At most, they could pretend that nothing had happened in the future, and it wouldn't affect Li Qian too much.
However, since Yang Si was here, the situation was completely different.
Yang Si was a senior in the industry. She debuted early and had a high status. Li Qian couldn't be compared to her.
Apologizing to Li Dong in front of Yang Si was like throwing her face to the ground for Li Dong to step on.
Moreover, she had to say yes after stepping on it. Otherwise, not only would she not give Li Dong face, but she would also be disrespecting Yang Si.
Would Li Qian dare to offend Yang Si?
Without a doubt, she definitely wouldn't dare!
The hierarchy in the entertainment industry was as strict as the officialdom. If Li Qian dared to offend Yang Si, she would definitely not be able to survive in the entertainment industry anymore.
Li Qian took a deep breath and bowed. "General Manager Li, Sister Si."
Li Dong didn't say anything. Yang Si nodded lightly and said, "General Manager Li asked me to join in the fun earlier. I didn't come uninvited, did I?"
Li Qian and Su Man looked bitter. What could they say at this juncture?
Fang Qingfei, who acted as the middleman, frowned and said, "Li Dong, Miss Yang, please take a seat."
Li Dong didn't move. Yang Si also acted like she was invisible and stood beside Li Dong without moving.
Fang Qingfei and the other two's expressions changed at the same time. What did this mean?
Li Qian looked at Fang Qingfei with confusion and fear.
Fang Qingfei gritted her teeth and said, "Li Dong, you said it yourself …"
Li Dong waved his hand and interrupted her. He snorted and said, "Of course I mean what I say."
"However, there's no need for us to come here. Since we said that it's a wine of apology, of course, we have to drink it!"
Li Dong pointed at the four bottles of white wine on the table and said, "Two bottles for each of us. Once we finish the wine, this matter will be over!"
Li Qian and Su Man's faces turned pale!
If two bottles of white wine were to be drunk, someone might die.
It wasn't that the two of them couldn't drink. Whether it was an artist or a manager, they spent a lot of time socializing outside. Who didn't have a certain alcohol tolerance?
However, the two of them were usually on par with each other. Drinking two bottles at once was equivalent to killing them!
Fang Qingfei was stunned when she heard that. She looked at Li Dong for a while before saying angrily, "Li Dong, are you trying to kill someone!"
Li Dong glanced at her and frowned slightly. "Fang Qingfei, it's not your place to speak!"
He then looked at Li Qian and Su Man and said, "Are you guys drinking or not?"
Li Qian and Su Man's faces were stiff and they didn't say a word.
Li Dong smiled and didn't say anything. He turned to Yang Si and said, "Miss Yang, let's go."
Yang Si nodded. She was here to be a witness today. Since there was nothing to see, she naturally had to leave.
Just when she was about to leave, she heard Li Qian yell, "Wait!"
Li Dong turned around and glanced at her. He saw Li Qian biting her lips and said word by word, "I — drink!"
She couldn't let Li Dong walk out of the door. If Li Dong left, the grudge would be completely formed.
Not only would she offend the singing competition tomorrow, but she would also offend Yang Si.
It would be fine if she didn't have the heart to stay in the entertainment industry. But as long as she still had the heart, she had to drink.
"Li Qian!"
Fang Qingfei hurriedly stopped Li Qian who was taking the wine. She glared at Li Dong and said angrily, "Do you have to do this? Li Qian has already admitted her mistake. It's just a matter of killing someone. Don't you think it's too much to force a woman to do this? "
Seeing Li Dong's indifference, Fang Qingfei was furious. She said again, "Which man is as petty as you? What did Li Qian do wrong? Even if she breached the contract, she would just have to pay for it. I will pay for it on her behalf! "
Li Dong smiled and said slowly, "You're right. It's just breaching the contract. Since that's the case, there's no need to drink the wine. Just pay for it. "
Fang Qingfei heaved a sigh of relief. Just when she was about to say something, she saw Li Qian shaking her head at her.
Li Qian clenched her teeth and said, "Cousin, this has nothing to do with you. I'll drink the wine!"
Fang Qingfei wanted to say more, but she heard Li Dong say faintly, "When the contract was signed, it was three times the price of the commercial performance. My dear teacher, are you sure you want to pay for it on her behalf?"
Fang Qingfei's face stiffened.
Three times the price!
She already knew Li Qian's price. It was one hundred thousand. Three times would be three hundred thousand.
To Yang Si, three hundred thousand was just a matter of singing a few songs. But she would have to teach for ten years.
Fang Qingfei looked at Li Qian again. Li Qian had participated in many commercial performances in the past half a year. She should have the money.
However, Li Qian shook her head lightly. Her cousin was still too naive.
Was Li Qian really as stupid as she appeared to be? How could she stand out among the thousands of people?
What a joke. If she was really that stupid, she wouldn't have been able to accumulate so much fame in Pingchuan in just half a year.
The reason why she was defeated by Li Dong this time was because she had underestimated Li Dong.
She thought that Li Dong would swallow this loss in silence. She thought that Li Dong would have many scruples and wouldn't want to fall out with her just for a few tens of thousands.
Unfortunately, that was just what she thought. Unexpectedly, Li Dong chose to fall out with her on the spot. What happened after that was completely out of her control. She was forced to this point step by step.
Was it a matter of money?
Did Li Dong lack the three hundred thousand?
He did not!
Since he did not lack money, what Li Dong cared about was his reputation!
Why did Li Dong force Li Qian like this? It was because Li Qian and Su Man made him lose face.
Now that Li Dong asked them to drink, it was to regain his reputation. What was the point of paying for it?
Li Qian understood this. Su Man and Yang Si also understood this. The only one who did not understand was probably Fang Qingfei.
It was not that Fang Qingfei was stupid. How could a teacher of Jiangzhou University be stupid? It was just that she had too little experience.
Moreover, Li Dong did not bring anyone but Yang Si. Could it be that he only invited Yang Si to watch the show?
Some things were just tacit.
Li Qian took a deep breath and stopped Fang Qingfei who was about to speak again. She looked at Li Dong and said, "This time, I was blind and offended General Manager Li. I hope that General Manager Li will forgive me. I'll drink this wine."
After she finished speaking, she opened the bottle cap and started drinking directly.
Li Dong did not say anything. He glanced at Su Man who was still hesitating not far away.
Su Man's expression kept changing. She was different from Li Qian.
Li Qian was an artist. What she needed was fame and reputation. Once her reputation was ruined, her future would be cut off.
But Su Man was different. She was just a manager. Even if she could not be a manager anymore, she could just find another job.
Li Dong did not have the ability to ban her from all industries. She could still live comfortably without Li Qian.
Thinking of this, Su Man looked at Li Qian apologetically. She clenched her teeth and turned around to leave the private room directly.
Li Dong saw that and did not say anything. Naturally, Yang Si would not say anything either.
Even Li Qian saw Su Man leave. However, Li Qian was still drinking and did not even look at Su Man.
They were just partners. When a disaster came, they would run away separately. No one could blame the other.
Only Fang Qingfei wanted to say something. However, she sighed and stopped talking in the end.
"Gulp, gulp!"
In the whole room, only the sound of Li Qian drinking and Fang Qingfei's worried and angry look could be heard.
Of course, Li Qian was worried. Li Dong was the only one who was angry.
Li Dong did not mind. Instead, he looked at Li Qian with appreciation.
She was a ruthless person. She was ruthless to herself and smart enough.
What happened at Jiangzhou University might have been the stupid thing that Su Man did. Now that Su Man was gone, Li Qian might be able to make a name for herself in the future with her ruthlessness.
Li Dong was not afraid that Li Qian would take revenge on him. Smart people did smart things these days.
If Li Qian took revenge on him, it meant that she was not smart enough. Stupid people could not make a name for themselves. Li Dong had nothing to worry about.
After a few minutes, Li Qian finally finished a bottle of liquor.
Drinking on an empty stomach was the easiest way to get drunk, especially in a hurry. Li Qian's eyes were blurred.
When she reached for the second bottle, she tried several times but failed.
Fang Qingfei's eyes were not angry anymore, but pleading.
Holding Li Qian, who was about to fall, Fang Qingfei said in a sobbing tone, "Enough. Don't force her! She will die if she drinks too much. Can't I drink for her? "
"No … It's okay. Cousin … Cousin, I can still hold on!"
Li Qian's mind was not completely confused. She grabbed the bottle crookedly, but her hand slipped and the bottle fell to the ground.
Li Dong raised his eyebrows and looked at her carefully.
After one or two minutes, Li Qian's eyes became dull. Li Dong said slowly, "I was going to ask you to finish both bottles. Since you are drunk, I will let you go. But I am a man of my word. After you finish the two bottles, we will be friends and pretend that we don't know each other anymore. But you didn't finish them. So, don't let me get hold of you. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless. "
After saying these words, Li Dong did not stay for long. He politely said goodbye to Yang Si and the two of them turned around and left.
After Li Dong left, Li Qian, who had just passed out, opened her eyes. Biting her lips, she tried to stay sober. Looking at the empty corridor, her eyes were complicated.
