Qiao Jiaxi looked at Lin Shanchu in disbelief.
Lin Shanchu gestured for the celebrity director to leave.
After the celebrity director left, Qiao Jiaxi asked, ‘Why did you sign me?”
“Because you’re no worse than Tang Qidai. ” Lin Shanchu’s expression was lazy, yet her tone was serious.
This sentence resonated with Qiao Jiaxi’s truest thoughts.
She had always thought that she was not inferior to Tang Qidai, but in the end, her career wasn’t as successtul as the latter’s.
She tried to curry favor with Tang Qidai because she wanted to sign a contract with a big company like the Lu Corporation.
As a result, Tang Qidai either dragged it out or refused to reply to her.
Despite being overjoyed, Qiao Jiaxi pushed the contract away with the last bit of rationality she had. “There’s bad blood between us. I refuse to believe that you’re this kind.”
“It’s true that we have bad blood between us, and I’m not a kind person. I signed you because of your ability. An outstanding person like you will definitely be famous in the future.”
Lin Shanchu was paying attention to Qiao Jiaxi’s expression as she spoke.
Everyone loved flattery.
Qiao Jiaxi raised her chin slightly, unable to hide the smile on her face.
People like Qiao Jiaxi who were ambitious but did not know their own limits were the easiest to coax.
Otherwise, Tang Qidai wouldn’t have been able to make Qiao Jiaxi submit to her just like that.
Everyone knew how to paint a rosy picture for others.
As long as the picture was beautiful enough, anyone could’ve thought that it was a dream come true.
“As one of the shareholders of the company, the most important thing for me now is to show everyone some results,” Lin Shanchu continued.
She pushed the contract toward Qiao Jiaxi. “I believe that you won’t disappoint me.”
Lin Shanchu’s words were exactly what Qiao Jiaxi wanted to hear.
Qiao Jiaxi had been coaxed into a daze, so she completely believed Lin Shanchu’s words.
“Don’t worry, I won’t let you down.” Qiao Jiaxi confidently picked up the pen and signed the contract.
After signing the contract, Qiao Jiaxi said confidently, “I’ll definitely be more popular than Tang Qidai. I’ll also find out what happened to Jing Ming.”
“I trust you,” Lin Shanchu replied with a smile.
She believed that Qiao Jiaxi would definitely create more trouble for Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai.
There was still more than a month before the recording of “My Stage” would end.
In the meantime, she could only find someone else to play with Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai.
Lin Shanchu brought Qiao Jiaxi to meet the celebrity director.
Just as they reached the door, they heard Tang Qidai’s voice coming from inside.
“I’ll go up and look for Brother Shiyuan to help me resume my work later.
Hurry up and arrange my schedule…”
Qiao Jiaxi looked at Tang Qidai with disdain.
She would soon replace that woman.
Tang Qidai still had no idea what awaited her.
Lin Shanchu glanced at Qiao Jiaxi without batting an eyelid, then pushed the door open and entered.
“President Lin.” The celebrity director immediately stood up.
Tang Qidai’s expression changed when she saw Lin Shanchu, but she didn’t greet her.
Lin Shanchu walked up to Tang Qidai. “Since you’re so eager to resume your work, I think you’re already well-adjusted. You may return to work.”
Lin Shanchu’s tone didn’t contain any excessive emotions, but her attitude was very condescending.
Tang Qidai had always had the upper hand in a confrontation between the two.
However, things were different now.
She had no choice but to swallow her anger.
Tang Qidai replied indignantly, “You don’t have to worry about my work. Brother Shiyuan will arrange everything for me.”
“How can I not worry? We’re good friends, after all.” Lin Shanchu’s smile was bright and alluring, but it sent chills down Tang Qidai’s spine.
Lin Shanchu then instructed the celebrity director. “Bring Kong Suyi back as well. She is, after all, an experienced manager in the company. Although she has failed in her duties, everyone knows how capable she is. ”
“All right.”
Lin Shanchu pulled Qiao Jiahxi, who was behind her, to the front.
“This is Qiao Jiaxi. She’s a new celebrity I’ve signed on to. She’s a pretty good newbie. When I’m not around, please help me take care of her, Director. ‘
Qiao Jiaxi didn’t expect Lin Shanchu to praise her in front of the celebrity director and even personally ask him to take care of her.
It seemed that Lin Shanchu really valued her.
Qiao Jiaxi walked forward with her head held high. “Hello, Director. I’m Qiao
Jiaxi. Please take care of me.”
After she finished speaking, she stared straight at the director without a trace of humility in her tone.
“Hello.” The celebrity director smiled calmly.
Qiao Jiaxi had a small frame, so Tang Qidai didn’t notice her when she was standing behind Lin Shanchu.
“Why are you here?” Tang Qidai asked in surprise.
“Didn’t you hear what President Lin said? I’m her newest celebrity. We’ll be colleagues from now on, dear cousin.” Qiao Jiaxi walked up to Tang Qidai provocatively.
“Jiaxi and Qidai are cousins?” the celebrity director asked in surprise.
Qiao Jiaxi spoke before Tang Qidai could.
“That’s right. Although my cousin is just a child my uncle adopted from an orphanage, we’re very close. We’ve been together since we were young.
Qiao Jiaxi also despised Tang Qidai from the bottom of her heart.
She was just a mutt that no one wanted. She only got to where she was today because of Lu Shiyuan’s affection toward her.
The only reason she was so close to Tang Qidai was that she wanted to bask in the Lu Corporation’s glory.
Since she hadn’t gotten anything out of it so far, she decided to expose Tang Qidai’s past as retaliation.
It was a simple sentence, but it contained a lot of information.
Tang Qidai debuted as a rich young lady, and the company also dropped some news and hints about her being born into a wealthy family.
The truth was, the Tang family did run a company, but they were not considered wealthy.
The celebrity director did not expect that Tang Qidai was not the Tang family’s biological daughter.
He had gone through a lot before, so he quickly calmed down. “That’s nice. Both of you can take care of each other.”
“You will definitely take good care of me, right cousin?” Qiao Jiaxi deliberately hooked her arm around Tang Qidai’s arm.
Tang Qidai resisted the urge to shake her off as she replied through gritted teeth, “Don’t worry, I will definitely take good care of you.”
“In that case, let Kong Suyi take care of Jiaxi as well. What do you think, President Lin? ” The celebrity director smiled warmly.
“All right.” Lin Shanchu nodded. “Kong Suyi is experienced and capable. It won’t be a problem for her to manage two celebrities. ”
Qiao Jiaxi had already determined that Lin Shanchu valued her very much, so she felt that every decision Lin Shanchu made was for her own good.
Naturally, there were no objections.
Besides, if she had the same manager as Tang Qidai, wouldn’t it be easier for her to steal Tang Qidai’s resources and replace her?
Qiao Jiaxi was taken away by the celebrity director.
Tang Qidai followed Lin Shanchu out of the office.
She stopped the latter when they reached a deserted area.
“Lin Shanchu, did you deliberately plant that idiot Qiao Jiaxi into the company?
Stop dreaming! She’s no match for me at all!”
Lin Shanchu was clearly going to attack them head-on.
She couldn’t just remain as a sitting duck.
She wanted Lin Shanchu to know that she wasn’t someone that could be easily dealt with.
“Didn’t anyone teach you that it’s rude to speak ill of others behind their backs?” Lin Shanchu looked over Tang Qidai’s shoulder and behind her..
