The atmosphere instantly became awkward.

Lu Mo quickly tried to save her dignity. She explained pitifully, “Senior, I’m not as young and beautiful as Qiao An, so I can’t help being paranoid and sensitive when facing you and her. I’m sorry, I won’t do this again.”

Huo Xiaoran patted her shoulder gently and comforted her gently. “It’s my fault. I didn’t give you a sense of security. Don’t worry, I’ll keep a distance from her in the future.”

Lu Mo’s aggrieved tears rolled down her face.

Huo Xiaoran was a man of his word. He immediately instructed Huo Zhou, “Zhou Zhou, I’ll withdraw my investment in Qiao An’s new drama. Help her find another investor.”

Xiao Yue rolled her eyes in anger. “Cousin, have you considered Qiao An’s feelings?”

Huo Xiaoran said, “It’s just a replacement. Qiao An won’t know at all.”

Xiao Yue was so angry that she stomped her feet and left.

There was no such thing as an impenetrable wall.

That night, Qiao An received a taunting message from Lu Mo. “Qiao An, I’m sorry. Because I’m not too happy to have anything to do with you, Senior decided to withdraw his investment in your online drama. But don’t worry, we’ll find another investor for you.”

She was showing off Huo Xiaoran’s love for her.

But Qiao An’s blood froze.

Huo Xiaoran’s actions reminded her of the muddle-headed King You of Zhou. In order to gain the smile of a beauty, he really trampled on his own credibility.

It was pathetic.

Qiao An didn’t answer her text.

The new investors quickly contacted Qiao An, but the other party had offered a large sum of money and naturally wanted to make loads of money. So they aggressively asked for scriptwriters, directors, and actors to cooperate unconditionally. All directions were on the way to maximizing business.

Qiao An suggested preserving the core values of the script, and the other party retorted directly, “You’re just a small screenwriter. You don’t have the right to interfere with our decisions yet. In the live market, if you want to make money, you have to walk the path of ambiguity.”

They had changed a refreshing and well-written book into a pornographic text.

Qiao An was furious.

After the meeting ended, Qiao An stormed over to the Hai Yue Corporation and found the executives of the company, forcing them to terminate the contract.

Qiao An’s few popular books were being recommended and earning a shocking amount of money. How could the executives of the Hai Yue Group let go of this money tree? They said all kinds of good and bad things. “Four Leaf Clover, you suddenly asked to terminate the contract. According to the agreement, you have to pay a considerable sum of compensation. Why do you have to do this? Isn’t it profitable to make money?”

But Qiao An said stubbornly, “I make money wherever I go, but I’m not willing to work for those dim bosses.”

The executive could tell that Qiao An was throwing a tantrum with the president.

The executive of the Hai Yue Corporation quickly called the president and reported to him about the predicament Hai Yue was facing. “President, Four Leaf Clover suddenly asked to terminate the contract. What should we do? She’s the pillar of our new media market. If she leaves and goes to another company, our Hai Yue Corporation will lose its position as the leader of the new media.”

When Huo Xiaoran heard this news, he was extremely shocked. “Why did she suddenly ask to terminate the contract? Is she dissatisfied with our benefits? Then increase her share.”

The executive said awkwardly, “CEO, I’m afraid that’s not the reason.”

Huo Xiaoran was surprised. “What other reason could there be?”

“Four Leaf Clover insisted on terminating the contract. She said… she was unwilling to work for her muddle-headed boss,” the executive stammered.

Huo Xiaoran was stunned.

Did she mean him?

How was he muddle-headed?

After hanging up, Huo Xiaoran found Qiao An’s phone number. However, the moment he dialed, he suddenly glanced at Lu Mo, who was sitting on the sofa with him, and silently closed his phone.

He then sent a message to Xiao Yue. “Yueyue, did the drama go well?”

Xiao Yue sent a profile picture of her vomiting blood.

Huo Xiaoran’s heart sank.

“Did you encounter any trouble?”

Xiao Yue replied, “Is it useful to tell you? You don’t dare to interfere in Qiao An’s matters.”

Then, Xiao Yue stopped talking.

Huo Xiaoran felt uneasy.

In the end, he picked up his coat and said to Lu Mo, “Momo, I’m going to the Hai Yue Corporation.”

When Lu Mo heard about Hai Yue Corporation, she immediately had a bad feeling. She stood up nervously. “Senior, did something happen?”

Huo Xiaoran’s expression was solemn. “Four Leaf Clover wants to terminate the contract.”

Lu Mo said disapprovingly, “If she wants to leave, so be it. Does the Hai Yue Corporation need a little writer like her?”

Huo Xiaoran said, “We can’t do without her now.”

Lu Mo pouted. “Is she that important?”

“You don’t understand,” Huo Xiaoran said.

Lu Mo grabbed Huo Xiaoran’s arm. “I’ll go with you.”

Huo Xiaoran didn’t think too much about it and nodded.

Fortunately, the Angel Group and the Hai Yue Group were not far away. Twenty minutes later, Huo Xiaoran and Lu Mo arrived at the Haiyue Group.

In the executive’s office, Qiao An crossed her legs and kept urging the executive. “Even if the heavens come today, they won’t be able to stop my determination to terminate the contract. We’ll do things according to the contract. I’ll compensate you however I want.”

When Huo Xiaoran entered the office, the executive called out respectfully, “President.”

Qiao An didn’t even look up, showing her disdain for Huo Xiaoran.

Huo Xiaoran walked up to Qiao An and asked calmly, “Why are you terminating the contract?”

Qiao An said leisurely, “If CEO Huo can go back on his word, why can’t I?”

Huo Xiaoran was puzzled. “When did I go back on my word?”

Qiao An said, “Replacing investors behind my back. You’ve caused a lot of inconvenience to my job. Isn’t that going back on my word?”

Huo Xiaoran was speechless.

“If you don’t like the current investors, I’ll switch them back for you.”

“That won’t be necessary,” Qiao An refused firmly.

Her eyes were cold, but she said firmly, “I’ve decided not to sell the film rights.”

Huo Xiaoran said in surprise, “But isn’t it your dream to pursue film? Are you willing to give up just like that?”

Qiao An said, “There’s still time. One day, I’ll rely on my own strength to bid it out. Instead of relying on you reneging capitalists.”

Huo Xiaoran had ruined Qiao An’s dream and he felt extremely guilty.

Lu Mo was furious. “Qiao An, why are you so nosy?”

Qiao An raised her head arrogantly and looked at Lu Mo. A mocking smile appeared in her eyes. “Who are you to speak to me, Dr. Lu? The company’s high-level management? The CEO’s wife? I don’t think you are any of them.”

Then, she looked at Huo Xiaoran resentfully and said angrily, “President Huo, control your woman. I’ve always advocated freedom and don’t like to be nagged at. If she continues to text me day and night, don’t blame me for making her angry.”

Lu Mo’s face turned pale.
