“No need.” Li Beinian smiled. “I can afford it myself.”
Li Haoran’s brows were tightly knitted together.
Before he said anymore, Li Beinian went on, “If this is all you’re calling me for, then I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you.
“I’m an artiste. It’s up to the management company to decide and handle which advertisements I take up.” She calmly said, “Too bad I’m not signed under Li Ming. Otherwise, you’d be able to take this away from me as and when you like. But since this advertisement is in Sheng An’s hands, you won’t be able to get anything done by looking for me, a small fry of an artiste.”
Li Haoran’s expression darkened as he heard that. “Nian Nian, do you think I’ll believe your nonsense? They looked for you to take this up. If you’re willing to give it up, they can’t force it on you.”
“Oh…” Li Beinian dragged her word and sounded troubled. “So, you want me to give it up, so Li Xueqing can have it?”
Li Haoran was a little shocked as guilt struck him. “In any case, I have a better candidate for it.”
Li Beinian let out a laugh. “Alright, then.”
Li Haoran heaved a sigh of relief when he heard those two words.
But before he could fully experience the joy, he heard Li Beinian say, “I won’t give it up.”
He immediately raged. “Li Beinian, I’m your father!”
“Thank you for still realizing that I’m your daughter.” Li Beinian’s eyes went cold. “The plane is about to take off. Bye.”
She hung up.
Anger surged in Li Haoran as he stared at his phone screen.
He called her again, but her cell phone was already switched off.
Fang Zhili knew the outcome just by seeing his expression. “Hubby, it’s alright if Nian Nian doesn’t want to let it go. If you can’t manage to persuade her, then I definitely won’t be able to either. Let’s just let Xueqing take up something else then.”
Li Haoran was even more upset now. “She’s rebelled! Would she be who she is today without me?”
Fang Zhili looked at him gently. “Don’t be mad, Nian Nian has always been like that…”
“I’ve spoilt her!” Li Haoran said and suddenly thought of something. “This girl deliberately signed her contract with Sheng An so that I wouldn’t be able to intervene anymore.”
“Sheng An is such a small company, it’s not suitable for Nian Nian’s progression.” Fang Zhili tried to win him over. “Our Li Ming is so established, with so many resources. Nian Nian is your daughter, we wouldn’t have disadvantaged her in any way. I heard that the contract Nian Nian signed is only for three years. She’ll have to pay five million yuan to break the bond. Let’s bring Nian Nian back. If we have to wait three years…”
“I can afford those five million yuan!” Li Haoran stood up. “I’ll get someone to settle this with Sheng An.”
Fang Zhili hesitated slightly. “Nian Nian has been getting popular recently, I’m afraid Sheng An won’t let her go.”
Li Haoran scoffed. “If five million won’t do, then I’ll use 10 million. If that doesn’t work, then 20 million should do!”
“And if they still refuse?”
“Sheng An is a small company that’s just been set up. It’s easy to kick them out of the industry.” Li Haoran had a look of utter despise on his face. “They can accept the money or get out of the industry.”
Fang Zhili was overjoyed to hear that. “Mm, with our personal grooming, Nian Nian will definitely do better!
“Hubby, you love her so much. She’s so insensible to go against you!”
