Rebirth of the entertainment industry and the return of the queen

Chapter 1096 Jokes
The atmosphere in the conference room was solemn, and the directors in dark suits sat together.

Among them were many Pei family members that Xia Ling knew, and there were also some strange directors that she didn't know.

Hearing the sound of the door, many people looked up and saw her with different expressions.Pei Ziheng, who was sitting at the top, didn't move. He lowered his head to study a piece of information, and the furrow between his brows was as deep as a knife.

Xia Ling maintained the posture of opening the door, and stood quietly by the door looking at him. The man was still as cold and majestic as a god, which made her worship and envy her.At this moment, time froze, under the eyes of everyone, her heart was beating like a drum, and she wanted to rush forward to ask him something, but she couldn't move.

She is afraid.

Afraid of hearing that terrible answer, afraid of him telling her that he is engaged.

When things came to an end, she stood alone by the door, in a dilemma.

Pei Ziheng flicked through the information at hand: "Bio Media under the Wang family is their best-run business in the entertainment industry, but it can only be regarded as a weak point for the emperor, and there are a lot of redundant and trivial matters to deal with after the merger. I will bring this up to the Wang family, and at the same time strive for better interests for Emperor in the cruise business.”

The first person on his right is his uncle Pei Zhenyuan.Pei Zhenyuan had already seen Xia Ling at this time, sneered, and said, "Ziheng, you know why the negotiation is more difficult than expected. Although the Wang family promised to marry their daughter to you, they don't want you to embarrass Miss Wang Jingwan too much. Take care of your own people."

Pei Ziheng suddenly raised his head, following his uncle's line of sight, he saw Xia Ling.

Although the matter between him and Xia Ling was kept secret, after more than ten years, these big directors of the emperor were more or less aware of it.The whole conference room was silent, and the eyes with special meaning looked back and forth between the two.

Pei Ziheng's voice was deep: "Xiaoling, go out and wait for me."

He didn't ask her why she came, because Chu Chen had already called him and told him that Xia Ling had accidentally learned about the engagement.Originally, he planned to take Xia Ling out to relax tomorrow, and then slowly and skillfully let her accept the news, but now it seems that the plan has all been disrupted.

Xia Ling looked at him mournfully, her heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

No need to ask, Pei Zhenyuan's cynicism just now explained everything, he... is really engaged.

"Why?" she said softly, "Why did you get engaged to another woman? You said that you would spoil me and love me for the rest of your life. Have you...forgot all about it?"

Tears filled his vision, and even he looked blurry.

Pei Ziheng frowned: "Hey, go out and wait for me."

Instead of going out to wait for him, she was irritated instead, rushed to him in a few steps, grabbed his hand-made high-end suit and yelled at him hoarsely: "Don't coax me in such a childish tone! I'm nothing for a long time It's a child! You said, why did you lie to me? I have been with you for so many years, why did you get engaged to another woman in the end!"

She glared at him angrily with tears in her eyes, her body crumbling.

Pei Ziheng frowned even tighter, raised his wrist and looked at his watch: "The meeting will be suspended for 10 minutes."

After finishing speaking, he supported Xia Ling with one hand, and half-forcibly led her out of the meeting room. "What on earth do you want!" He threw her against the wall, put his hands on her shoulders, sullen, "I asked Chu Chen to say that I have a whole day with you tomorrow, and then we can have a good discussion This question! Didn't you see I was in a meeting?"

"Isn't your meeting more important than mine?!" She cried again, yelling, "What do you think of me!"

"Don't make trouble for no reason." Pei Ziheng took a deep breath, suppressing the anger rising in his heart, "The Wang family's cooperation is at a critical juncture. Be obedient and wait for me in the lounge. I will come to you after the meeting."

"I don't!" She cried bitterly, "Pei Ziheng, don't marry that woman! Don't!"

"It's just a commercial marriage," Pei Ziheng said. "Just because she married me doesn't mean we can't be together. Wang Jingwan knows you exist and can accommodate you—this is also one of the conditions for me to agree to marry her. She understands herself very well. What are you doing, Xiaoling, you have to be sensible and understand the general situation."

"Go｜he｜ know the general idea!" She couldn't help crying and shouting, "I hate you!"

Pei Ziheng looked down at her: "I'm going to a meeting now, you go to rest, calm down, we'll talk later." Let her go, turn around, and return to the conference room.

Xia Ling rushed to him, hugged his body from behind, and burst into tears: "Ziheng, don't go, please don't go...don't marry that woman, okay? Please...please... you……"

This was the first time she begged him, crying blood, heartbroken.

But he broke her hand away one by one, and walked to the meeting room without looking back.

Leaving her alone, she knelt down in the long empty corridor and wept bitterly.

She cried in the hallway for as long as the meeting lasted.Gradually, news spread within the Emperor, saying that the empress Xia Ling was crying outside the VIP meeting room on the 17th floor. Could it be that she offended the chairman and was finally about to lose power?Someone pretended to pass by and spied on her with curious and gossip eyes, but she couldn't care less about anything.Until the end of the meeting, well-dressed directors walked out in twos and threes.

Pei Zhenyuan, who was full of white hair, passed by her, and stopped: "How decent is it?"

A lofty, disdainful voice.

She cried and grabbed his suit trouser legs, and bowed her head to this old man who never dealt with him for the first time: "Uncle, please persuade Ziheng, please? Don't let him marry that woman, don't..."

Pei Zhenyuan scolded in a low voice: "Let go! Don't you think you're ashamed enough? If it weren't for the fact that you can still sing and serve the emperor, do you think the Pei family can accommodate you to this day? Don't call me uncle. match?!"

Between the fingers, the cold and slippery texture of the suit trousers suddenly disappeared, and Pei Zhenyuan strode away.

Xia Ling was in a trance, and waited for Pei Ziheng at the door for a long time, however, she didn't wait for him to come out despite the crowd.It was Chu Chen who rushed over, gently helped her up, and said, "Let's go, don't wait, the boss is very busy today, and there are several important matters that cannot be delayed."

"So, my business can be delayed?" She choked up and asked in a low voice.

Chu Chen remained silent for a long time before saying, "Xiaoling, you have to accept your fate."

"What is fate?"

"People like us who come from common people, don't think about fighting with their wealthy families, you can only survive by obeying the rules." Maybe because he remembered the past of his boyhood, Chu Chen rarely said to her sincerely, "Xiao Ling, we are already lucky Not bad, rich clothes and fine food are admired by thousands of people. Don't be too greedy."

"So, I wanted to marry him because I was greedy?" She cried again, "You all think I'm wrong, don't you? Over the years, you've looked at my wishful thinking, isn't it like watching a joke?"
