Zhao Xuan cautiously glanced at Song Ling, who was left outside the door, and was startled into quickly averting his gaze, asking in a low voice, “President Song, what are you…?”
Song Ling didn’t respond to Zhao Xuan but instead turned to find a waiter and opened another private room next to Gu Dai’s.
Zhao Xuan watched Song Ling’s actions, utterly baffled. Even though he didn’t understand, he dared not voice his confusion and simply stood silently to the side.
Inside Gu Dai’s private room, Su Ting presented five signed project proposals to Gu Dai, saying, “Daidai, take a look at these.”
Gu Dai flipped through them and praised, “You’re truly amazing. These five projects have tremendous commercial value.”
Su Ting chuckled lightly, “Zhou Lin initially just wanted to bluff me, so he brought out his best projects. He didn’t expect to be outplayed and turned ashen.”
Though Gu Dai hadn’t witnessed it, she couldn’t help but laugh, imagining Zhou Lin’s crestfallen face.
She also remembered Zhou Lin’s attempts to trouble Su Ting and asked, “Did your lawyer manage to find all the loopholes in the contracts?”
Su Ting nodded, “Having navigated the entertainment industry, I once encountered a deceitful boss who tampered with the contract, causing me a loss. Afterwards, I sought out one of the world’s top lawyers, and since then, I’ve never been taken advantage of.”
After saying this, he suddenly thought of something, “Daidai, I’ll give you his contact information. If you ever need a lawyer, you can reach out to him anytime.”
!!..
Gu Dai nodded, looking at Su Ting with sympathy.
Catching her gaze, Su Ting couldn’t guess her thoughts and finally asked, “What’s wrong, Daidai?”
“Who was the boss that cheated you? I’ll take care of him,” Gu Dai offered.
Su Ting laughed, “I’ve already dealt with him after I became famous.”
Gu Dai, convinced by Su Ting’s sincerity, relaxed and asked, “Are you sure you don’t need me to teach him a lesson?”
Su Ting nodded, “I’m sure.”
After he became famous, he had reported the boss’s misconduct to the authorities.
Public outrage against the boss led to a boycott of his company, which, coupled with fines and a lack of business, led to bankruptcy in less than a month.
Su Ting shared this with Gu Dai, who then abandoned the idea of confronting the boss herself.
She thought of Zhou Lin again and reminded Su Ting, “Zhou Lin suffered such a big loss today. He will definitely deal with you next. You must be careful.”
Su Ting obediently agreed, “Okay, I will.”
Still worried, Gu Dai suggested, “Should I hire a dozen more bodyguards to protect you?”
Su Ting initially wanted to decline, but seeing Gu Dai’s concern, he hesitated before saying, “A dozen is too many, a few will suffice.”
“How can a few be enough?” Gu Dai frowned.
Su Ting reasoned, “Hiring too many might make Zhou Lin more cautious.”
Considering Su Ting’s logic, Gu Dai conceded, “Alright, then just a few bodyguards.”
Su Ting suggested, “I think two is enough.”
“Two? How can that be enough?” Gu Dai protested.
Su Ting reassured her with a smile, “I’ve been working out and learning various martial arts recently. I can protect myself.”
“Really?” Gu Dai remained concerned.
Su Ting nodded, his eyes sparkling, “Daidai, I’ll show you what I’ve learned when we get home tonight.”
“Okay,” Gu Dai agreed.
However, she was secretly thinking of how to comfort Su Ting regardless of his performance and to possibly hire more bodyguards later.
After dinner, they planned to head home, unaware that they would find Song Ling standing at the door.
Su Ting’s first instinct was to pull Gu Dai into his embrace, patting her back soothingly while coldly asking Song Ling, “What are you doing here?”
