Chapter 39 The Scapegoat
"What???"
The person in charge of Chengtian Entertainment exclaimed in surprise.
Tang Yan is too arrogant! He directly told the driver to take her to another entertainment company. This is clearly telling him that he wants to run away.
No wonder he was carrying his clothes; he had prepared them all along.
"Tell me in detail what she did."
The person in charge of Chengtian Entertainment pressed for an answer.
Seeing that the boss seemed a bit anxious, the driver immediately thought it over carefully.
"He went to a suit store first and bought a suit. Then he went to Huayi Brothers, saying that he had received a notice from his superiors."
The person in charge of Chengtian Entertainment remained silent for a long time before finally nodding: "Okay."
He didn't say a word and silently returned to the conference room, which was now deserted. Several leaders from Chengtian Entertainment were also absent, clearly annoyed by Tang Yan's broken promise.
This time it's really over. He opened his phone and dialed Tang Yan's number.
The call was answered quickly, and Tang Yan's anxious voice was about to come through, but the person in charge of Chengtian Entertainment spoke faster than her.
"Get out of here with Huayi Brothers."
He then hung up the phone, leaving Tang Yan standing there dumbfounded.
What's going on?
What does she have to do with Huayi Brothers? Such a big company is not something a nobody like her can climb up to.
But judging from the tone of the person in charge, they really didn't want her anymore. Tang Yan was a little frustrated, as this confirmed her suspicions.
Did he deliberately not come to pick her up today?
"That shouldn't be the case," Tang Yan thought, still puzzled. "What about her clothes? They were the most important things her family left her."
Thinking of this, she quickly dialed the number back.
"Beep beep, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."
Little did she know that the other party had already blocked her.
She squatted on the ground in frustration, lost in thought.
What exactly did I do wrong?
She remained silent for a few moments. Huayi Brothers, why did he suddenly bring up Huayi Brothers?
With that in mind, she decided to go to Huayi Brothers first.
However, for a relatively unknown idol like her, Huayi Brothers was a gateway to her dreams, and she was still somewhat apprehensive.
Even though she was somewhat angry, when she arrived at Huayi Brothers' store and saw its magnificent gate, her anger didn't seem so important anymore.
"Hello, miss, do you have an appointment?"
The doorman stepped forward and asked politely.
Tang Yan shook her head and stood aside. She didn't know who she was waiting for, and just stood there silently.
All she wanted was to find her clothes, the ones her father had made for her by hand.
At that moment, Li Jun was carrying a handbag and preparing to leave. He planned to call the driver and return the bag of clothes.
Yuan Tao followed him closely, which made him feel helpless. How could he let Yuan Tao see through such an image-damaging thing?
He picked up the bag and examined it repeatedly, but didn't open it; he still had that much manners.
Coincidentally, those two glances led him to a familiar name:
Tang Yan.
Li Jun's head was buzzing. Could it be that Tang Yan?
Or is it just a case of the same name?
He felt a little guilty, as he had met Tang Yan once before and had been deeply impressed by him.
Li Jun frantically searched his brain for useful information:
Entertainment all the time? Ms. Tang, Mr. Tang?
That makes some sense, but didn't Tang Yan join Chengtian Entertainment later?
Li Jun broke out in a cold sweat; this was too much of a coincidence.
No, that can't be it.
He calmed himself down and was about to walk out the door when he saw a familiar figure at the doorway. It was the woman he had seen on the plane who was dressed very warmly.
But his sixth sense was telling him something was wrong, so Li Jun decided to lay low for a while.
"This person is wrapped up as thickly as a celebrity."
Yuan Tao also saw the figure outside and said with a smile.
The person standing at the entrance of Huayi Brothers might actually be a celebrity.
However, those with big names usually get in long ago; these are generally minor celebrities.
But the next moment he was stunned, and he saw Li Jun turn his head and stare at him intently.
He felt a little uneasy under Li Jun's gaze and looked at him with confusion.
Li Jun gave him a black mask and sunglasses, and then handed him the bag he was carrying.
"Could you please get Manager Yuan for me? I'm going out to make a phone call."
After saying that, Li Jun ran out in a flash.
Tang Yan, who was outside, saw that the door of Huayi Brothers had opened and quickly looked over, but unfortunately he didn't recognize them.
The figure seemed familiar; I felt like I'd seen it somewhere before.
Not long after, Yuan Tao followed him out.
Tang Yan immediately spotted the bag in his hand and quickly walked over.
"Give me!"
The petite Tang Yan was wrapped in thick clothes, and she walked with a bouncy gait, like an angry little penguin.
Yuan Tao didn't understand why this person would try to snatch his things as soon as he saw him. These were entrusted to him by Li Jun, and he was told to take good care of them.
Yuan Tao shielded Tang Yan behind him, confronting him.
"This is mine!"
Tang Yan was both angry and amused. She wondered what the person in front of her meant by holding her things but not wanting to give them to her.
"I even said that Huayi Brothers is mine."
Yuan Tao naturally didn't believe it and retorted.
The two were locked in a stalemate, and just as Tang Yan was about to snatch it away, Li Jun appeared in the middle.
"Hey, Lao Yuan, what are you doing?"
He glanced at the two of them casually, and patted Yuan Tao on the shoulder.
"Look, the little girl is trying to snatch it..."
Yuan Tao was interrupted by Li Jun before he could finish speaking.
"Hey, this bag wasn't picked up just now. If she says it's hers, just give it back to her."
Fearing that Yuan Tao would reveal the truth, Li Jun quickly stopped him.
He pretended to be relaxed, but secretly pinched Yuan Tao's butt, hoping that Yuan Tao would understand.
Yuan Tao looked puzzled, but still returned the clothes.
Li Jun raised an eyebrow and reached out his hand to Tang Yan, saying:
"Hello there."
The woman's certainty in snatching the bag had confirmed her identity to him, but Li Jun couldn't reveal it yet.
Tang Yan recognized the person in front of her; it was the same person who had grabbed her that night when she was rushing to catch her train. Without a chance for pleasantries, she asked aggressively:
"Did you come here by car from the Capital Airport today?"
Li Jun pointed directly at Yuan Tao:
"He is me, not me."
At this moment, Yuan Tao was even more stunned. That's how he got here, but he has a private driver. So he has nothing to do with anything that happens, right?
Moreover, Li Jun seems to know everything, so why is he taking the blame for everything?
Tang Yan collapsed to the ground as if he had lost his soul, muttering to himself, "It's over, it's all over."
All she can think about now is going back and explaining things quickly; once she finds the driver, everything will be fine.
But where is she going to find the driver's contact information?
