Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Ye Qian is one of the guarantees of business performance. She also works as Ye Qian's agent. Therefore, whether Ye Qian can renew her contract is very important to her. How can she be careless when it concerns her own interests?

Wu Zhengyuan had just returned home when she saw the dinner Lin Xiang had prepared and felt a warmth in her heart. Without Lin Xiang's talent, no matter how capable she was, she would not have been able to become the general manager.

Lin Xiang is not only a great singer, but also a first-rate lyricist and composer. Because of this, her influence in the company is growing day by day!

"What's wrong? Is work tiring lately? You look exhausted!"

Lin Xiang naturally noticed his wife's tired expression. As a recognized model couple, the two had always had a good relationship, at least in public!

"Isn't it all because of your good apprentice, Ye Qian? Not only does she stay out all night, but she also hired two security guards from Longteng Security. You know, I can't even hire female security guards from Longteng Security; it's not something you can just buy with money!"

Wu Zhengyuan glared at her husband with annoyance. She knew Ye Qian's background all too well. Her old connections wouldn't have been enough to accomplish something this big. The key was that she couldn't force her to answer, otherwise, it would be a loss!

"A female security guard from Longteng Security? Perfect! I've invited her to dinner tonight. She should be here soon. You can try to sound her out first!"

Lin Xiang was also quite helpless with his wife, who only cared about profit. Compared to Ye Qian, Wu Zhengyuan was far inferior.

Without the pressure of his position as Warner Bros. general manager, he would have readily accepted Ye Qian's advances once she showed interest. But not now!

"It's time to ask. You're her master, surely you wouldn't hide anything from her, would you?"

Wu Zhengyuan was too embarrassed to say that he had asked during the day, but unfortunately, Ye Qian did not tell the truth at all, and the assistant did not investigate thoroughly!

"I don't know, let's ask around. Ye Qian getting close to a big shot is good for us, isn't it? Don't overthink it!"

To be honest, Lin Xiang felt relieved. Ye Qian had shown him some subtle feelings a couple of days ago, but given her personality, those feelings wouldn't disappear so quickly.
Therefore, the possibility of Ye Qian getting close to a powerful figure is extremely slim. In his subconscious, the only way for Ye Qian to get close to a powerful figure is through her alluring body. Otherwise, the powerful figure will not even give her a second glance!
"It's not that I'm overthinking it, but Ye Qian's contract expires in half a month. I asked her a few days ago, and she said she wanted to think about it. I originally wanted to take advantage of Warner's influence, but now I'm hesitant to act rashly!"

Wu Zhengyuan sighed. It was fine as long as the contract hadn't expired, but Ye Qian was in the prime of her career. If she didn't renew the contract, how would she explain it to the big boss?
Without bodyguards, it would be fine; he could just find a gang to coerce or bribe them and resolve the issue. But now he doesn't dare to do that. To put it bluntly, Wu Zhengyuan doesn't have the confidence or courage to take the gamble!
"Ding dong!"

Just as Lin Xiang was about to say something, the doorbell rang. The Filipino maid looked at Mr. and Mrs. Wu Zhengyuan. Whether or not to open the door was up to the master of the house; the maid dared not open the door casually!
"It's probably Ye Qian. Open the door!"

Lin Xiang waved his hand, saying that at this time, the only person who would come to the door was Ye Qian!

"Master, Mistress, there was a traffic jam on the way, I'm late, please forgive me!"

Sure enough, Ye Qian walked in confidently, but there was no sign of her bodyguards!

"You're welcome to come, but why did you bring a gift? That's too formal!"

Wu Zhengyuan had no choice but to brace himself and deal with the situation. He couldn't afford to give Ye Qian the cold shoulder now; things were different now!

"Just a little bit of fruit, I hope you don't mind!"

Ye Qian didn't care anymore. She'd let go of her emotional shackles. Wu Zhengyuan was just her manager, and a manager who would be leaving in just half a month! "Xiaoqian, what are your thoughts on renewing the contract? Your master has a concert and is planning to invite you to be a guest performer."

Lin Xiang felt that Ye Qian had changed. The adoration in her eyes was gone, and she no longer avoided looking at him. He immediately sensed something was wrong!
"Teacher, there are still half a month left, so there's no rush. We still need to think about the contract renewal. The previous contract was signed too hastily, and the rights and obligations were not equal."

Here's what I'm thinking: I'll get a professional legal team to evaluate the contract and reassess its commercial value!

Ye Qian didn't refuse directly, but instead used delaying tactics. She also wanted to disrupt Tao Wei and Wu Zhengyuan's negotiations. Falling apart so quickly would be detrimental to He Yuzhu. Since she had become Brother Zhu's woman, she naturally had to think it over more!
"Xiaoqian, a 10% share of the profits is already quite high. This is a high-value contract that I personally negotiated with the big boss to get back. Everyone else's share is less than half a percent!"

Wu Zhengyuan's expression changed. In fact, Ye Qian had signed a dual contract, and the share she should have received was 30%. However, she manipulated it and only pocketed 20%. But no one knew about this. Could it be that Ye Qian had become suspicious?

“Master’s wife, I am not the same person I was when I first came to Hong Kong. The value I create is naturally different. If you give me half a percent, do you think it is appropriate?”

Ye Qian couldn't be bothered with Wu Zhengyuan. If it weren't for He Yuzhu's sake, she wouldn't even want to attend this disgusting dinner party!

"Ahem, that's true. The current Xiaoqian is naturally not the same as before. She should be properly evaluated. By the way, I happen to know a legal team. Here's their business card. Just mention your name, sir!"

Lin Xiang reacted quickly and stopped his wife from continuing to persuade him. Too much talk would only make Ye Qian suspicious!
"Okay, teacher!"

Ye Qian curled her lips. Don't play such little tricks. If it weren't for the fact that we can't fall out, I would definitely smash the plate and leave. Bah!
"Ding dong!"

The doorbell rang again. Mr. and Mrs. Wu exchanged a glance. Tonight was going to be lively!
"Miss, the latest news is that a man named Tao Wei is tracking him. He comes from Polar Bear and seems to be a Chinese from Polar Bear."

The specific situation is still under investigation, and the company will reply soon. It's getting late, you should go back now, please don't make things difficult for me.

The bodyguard captain looked at Ye Qian respectfully, completely ignoring Mr. and Mrs. Wu Zhengyuan in their seats, not even bothering to glance at them!

"Alright, please enjoy your meal. These are turbulent times, I must go back now!"

Ye Qian bowed apologetically, seemingly a little embarrassed!
"Go back now, be careful, try not to go out for the time being, and be safe!"

Wu Zhengyuan had no choice but to agree, as these bodyguards were the most secretive female team in Longteng Security. Only He Yuzhu's daughter was protected. Why should Ye Qian be allowed to?
"Okay, Master's Wife!"

"Old Lin, this Tao Wei was introduced by the Li family. I heard he's going to talk to Warner Bros. What do you think? Should I contact him?"

Wu Zhengyuan hesitated, not expecting that Tao Wei was also involved in Ye Qian's stalking!

"Forget it, the Li family is too powerful. Even if we reach an agreement, we won't get their goodwill, and we might even fall out with Ye Qian. It's not worth it!"

Lin Xiang found it strange; Ye Qian's reaction was abnormal. Deep down, Lin Xiang still wanted to be with a woman like Ye Qian! (End of Chapter)
