Gu Ming could only slink away in defeat.
Xu Huan gently took Gu Dai’s hand, speaking softly, “Your Big Uncle and your father, although both are my sons, have very different characters.”
Gu Dai poured a cup of warm water for Xu Huan, comforting her in a soft voice, “Grandma, don’t be angry.”
After drinking the water, Xu Huan sighed and shook her head to indicate she was not angry, then continued, “Your father was always intelligent and filial from a young age, whereas your Big Uncle is more selfish. I used to be stricter with him, hoping to correct his bad habits. Perhaps I used the wrong method; he hasn’t changed at all.”
Xu Huan looked at Gu Dai and said, “It’s my fault for not teaching him well, leading to Gu Ming bullying you and causing you such distress.”
Gu Dai hugged Xu Huan, “Grandma, it’s all in the past. Don’t be sad, and don’t take all the blame upon yourself.”
After a long contemplation, Xu Huan came to a realization and seriously said to Gu Dai, “If your Big Uncle ever harms you again, feel free to retaliate. Don’t spare him for my sake.”
Gu Dai nodded, “Grandma, I understand.”
The two then cast aside these unpleasant matters from their minds.
The next day.
While Gu Dai was at work, Zheng Ming knocked on the door in a panic.
Entering the office, he anxiously reported, “Chairwoman Gu, Luo An and Lin Yu have started fighting.”
Gu Dai frowned, puzzled, “What happened?”
Zheng Ming explained, “During the recording of the variety show today, there was a quiz section. Luo An, with his vast knowledge, answered many questions correctly. Lin Yu accused us of giving Luo An the answers, claiming he cheated, which led to their argument.”
Gu Dai stood up, her voice cold, “It’s only the first day of the show, and this has happened. I’ll go have a look.”
She remembered Lin Yu’s profile description, “Isn’t Lin Yu supposed to have a boy-next-door personality? How could he start a fight over something so trivial?”
Zheng Ming pursed his lips, thought for a moment, and then seriously replied, “Nowadays, artists have an image to maintain. In front of the camera, he’s the boy-next-door, but off-camera…”
Gu Dai nodded in understanding, “Which company does Lin Yu belong to?”
Zheng Ming answered, “Sheng Media.”
Gu Dai nodded again, then asked, “And Luo An?”
Zheng Ming replied, “Song Corporation.”
Gu Dai said, “So they are from the companies of Sheng Xin and Song Ling. Inform them that these two have violated their contracts and are now dismissed. Ask them to arrange for someone to pick them up.”
Zheng Ming acknowledged, “Yes!”
Upon Gu Dai’s arrival at the recording location, the director immediately approached her, excitedly saying, “You’re finally here, sponsor!”
Gu Dai nodded and asked, “What’s the situation now?”
The director started, “They were just having a personal argument, but then it escalated to a conflict between the two companies. I…”
Before the director could finish, they were interrupted by the noise from the studio.
Luo An shouted, “I’m signed with Song Corporation. The head of our company is Song Ling! How dare you accuse me of cheating? Aren’t you afraid of my company dealing with you?”
Lin Yu scoffed disdainfully, “Though Song Corporation is formidable in business, it has little involvement in the entertainment industry. I’m signed with Sheng Media, one of the top names in the industry!”
Gu Dai walked in, but they continued arguing, oblivious to her presence.
Lin Yu pointed at the director, angrily saying, “I’ll expose this scripted and rigged variety show to the public!”
The director, sweating profusely, hurriedly assured Gu Dai, “I guarantee our project follows all the rules, there’s absolutely no rigging!”
Realizing the director’s anxious attempts to explain, Lin Yu and Luo An understood that Gu Dai was no ordinary figure.
Lin Yu looked at Gu Dai, his voice cold, “Your show is rigged. How else could Luo An answer so many questions correctly?”
Gu Dai replied calmly, “If you believe there’s rigging, then present your evidence.”
Luo An snorted, “Yeah, Lin Yu, if you’re capable, show us the proof. Besides, I rely on my own abilities. Do you think everyone is as empty-headed as you?”
In a fit of rage, Lin Yu picked up an object from the table and hurled it at Luo An.
Luo An dodged, and retaliated by throwing something back at Lin Yu.
However, they misjudged their aim, and the objects flew towards Gu Dai..
