Quick Transmigration: Saving The Crazy Villainess

Chapter 280: Selena Tang (29)

"A*shole!" Anger could be heard distinctly from the voice of the one who just spoke.

It was Qin Tai, who had just finished messaging his company's second-largest shareholder.

The man was not truly angry, but he was a bit pissed off. Thinking of the report he just received, he couldn't help but pound a fist on the sophisticated office table and grumble.

"If he wants to dig a pit for someone, can't he first inform me of the details, especially since I'm involved? Is he always assuming I'm someone who loves guessing games?" 

Jiang Li's faith in his intelligence was not making him happy. 

The office only had him, so he was not afraid of speaking to himself. The rest of his secretaries were in a large glass room in front of his. Those from the other offices or floors would first need to pass through them if they wanted to meet or talk to him.

The reason for his annoyance stemmed from the fact that Liu De would be launching an album in the same month as his music label. But no, it was not because he felt like Mo Zan was taking revenge on him for thwarting her plans to paint him black to his grandfather by making use of Liu De, her company's bastard lucky charm.  

As said above, it was due to the album itself that Dreamer Records planned to release.

A music producer in charge of arranging the songs for another popular song artists of theirs complained to him! And it was about the uncanny similarities between the melodies of Liu De's teaser and one of the songs recently sold to him by Jiang Li!

Qin Tai's heart sank upon hearing that. Because he smelled trouble.

He would eat sh*t if this was all a coincidence that his friend did not plan!

A knock rang from the door, calling his raging soul that wanted to place a curse on Jiang Li back to his earthly body.

"Come in." Due to his low mood, the voice that came out of his mouth was a bit cold and gloomy.

A beautiful face emerged from the door. When the secretary entered and temporarily turned away from him to close it, he saw her beautiful hair that reached her mid-back swayed like a black waterfall behind her. The woman, Lu Lingxi was his secretary that had stayed the longest with him, from when he was still in Dreamer until he assumed office in Starlight and could be said one of his trusted people.

"Sir, pardon my intrusion. Vice President An from the music department is outside, together with Producer Han and Team Leader Song. They all requested to speak with you about Jiang Li and Andrew C's album and come back," she politely said.

Hearing her voice and seeing her sneak peeks at him, he recalled Jiang Li once joking to him that the woman was too loyal

Qin Tai took a deep breath, trying to disperse unnecessary thoughts and the mild irritation he was feeling. "Alright, let them in. Bring us tea after. Thanks."

The man then lowered his head to the presentations on his laptop that he was working on. For a couple of seconds, sounds from keyboards reverberated throughout the silent room.

Until he heard a soft voice again, making him realize the secretary had not yet left. "Sir"

"Yes?" He asked, raising a slightly frowning face.

There was reluctance on the girl's expression before she reported in a placid tone. "I got an email from Miss Mo, President of Dreamer Entertainment, asking for a dinner appointment with you."

'She still hasn't learned her lesson?'

'What should I do to make Mo Zan stop all of these?'

He fell silent for some time before replying, "Actually, Miss Lu. It's okay if you simply block all contact numbers or emails from those people's side." He took note of the brief happiness that he saw from the girl's face and felt like shaking his head. "Is there anything else?"

Lu Lingxi bowed. "No, Sir. I'll call the vice president and his people in."

Qin Tai nodded and did not wait long before three gentlemen in their forties or early fifties strode towards his table.

As expected, the old guys wanted to seek his opinion and instructions about the songs. The vice president was even worried that Jiang Li's songs were problematic.

'No, the songs are definitely fine. If there's something problematic here, it's the head of the creator of those. He's not a traitor. Yet he's worse since he's a pig teammate,' he disdainfully said in his heart.

Quite a time was spent convincing the men twice older than him that everything would be fine and that they should keep doing what they were doing. He even urged them to speed out the processes so the albums would be out before the rivals.

He told them, "Don't worry, I assure you, the other side won't make a single profit out of the songs Liu De is recording."

His smile and words that were said with full composure must have awed the three and gave them an illusion that Liu De's side was the real one with problems.

'Did he tamper with the opponent's song? He must have planted a spy within Dreamer and had this person did something nasty there. Probably as revenge against Ms. Mo for ignoring him when he still liked her and stalking him when he no longer does.'

The three exchanged glances with each other, hiding a knowing smile as they exited the office.

The young CEO, unaware of what ran in his employee's minds, pressed his lips into a thin line. Several minutes later, he left his office and headed down the basement to get his car. Afterward, he traveled to the clubhouse where he and his friends mostly gathered when not meeting up in some politician or businessman's party.

There, Jiang Li was already in the bar, mixing drinks for him and the idle son of City Mayor Wen. He overheard the two talking about Tang Yu Yan's sister. However, since he had a bigger issue in mind, he didn't participate in their talk and straightforwardly pulled the oldest of their bunch to a random corner.

"Aren't you going to say anything to me?"

That time, Qin Tai could swear he made his tone to be as threatening as possible.

However, the man had seemingly thought of it as a joke and laughed at him. Then he heard him say, "Well, didn't I simply help you have a reason to sue Liu De and Mo Zan?"

" You seemed to have forgotten that the legal fees will be high."

The CEO was once again barely keeping his temper in check, almost asking if the man before him had taken his medicine today.

How dare he think that a court battle between famous people would be as easy as pie? Did he forget that there was Mo Zan, Tang Yu Yan, Mo Fang and Li Xia backing Liu De? All of them were people who could incite the masses and other sectors to make the issue a hundred times larger and to an extent, pressure authorities through public opinion.

He saw Jiang Li repeatedly blinking at him.

' I would have punched him in the face if not for being aware that he knows boxing,' lamented young master Qin.

The man leisurely sipped on his glass of wine, seemingly infuriating the CEO with the wait.

"Qin Tai, calm down." Seconds later, Jiang Li said smilingly, patting the other on the shoulder. "Don't worry about those songs. You won't lose a winning battle. Unless you still love Mo Zan and will give in to her request once the time comes."

Towards the singer's joke and the mention of a certain woman's name, the younger man felt a bit offended. However, his head also cooled a bit and then made him smile bitterly for he realized that he had been had by his emotions and perhaps, inexperience.

Since the man quieted down, Jiang Li looked at him for some time before pouring him a drink. He had no idea what was running on his friend's mind. But, there was one thing which he had confirmed.

As the first minor villain who had competed against the male lead for more than two months, Qin Tai was the one with more contact with Liu De. He experienced many instances where sure win cases or plans went awry at some point.

He thus became apprehensive and always felt like the male lead would never lose a battle.

Jiang Li couldn't help but wonder if the other rivals of the male lead were also thinking the same thing.
