Chapter 81: Establishing Authority!

Chapter 81: Chapter 81: Establishing Authority!

Yang Anlin and Liu Meng were different in every respect, especially in the way they conducted themselves. She always thought Liu Meng was naïve, to the point of being excessively innocent and carefree.

But Yang Anlin was different. To achieve her goals, she would stop at nothing, and what she was best at was using her body to obtain benefits. It had proven to be a very effective and successful strategy.

It had helped her to ascend the path to becoming the Queen with greater stability and speed...

Yang Anlin had to admit that, when it came to singing talent, Liu Meng was definitely better than herself. If Liu Meng was willing to lower her proud swan-like head, she wouldn’t even qualify to compete with her, let alone with other Queens.

Yang Anlin was very aware of how many wolves in the company were constantly eyeing Liu Meng, the pure jade girl.

Wu Tianlu was currently the most influential person at JM Entertainment. It had been half a year since Yang Anlin and he began their relationship, and during that time, Yang Anlin believed she had completely captured Wu Tianlu’s heart.

Today, Yang Anlin planned to use Liu Meng and Chen Wei to really test the fruits of her labors.

She had learned from Wu Tianlu three days ago that Liu Meng’s contract with JM Entertainment was about to expire. Wu Tianlu had mentioned renewing the contract multiple times, but Liu Meng’s response had been ambiguous.

If Yang Anlin wasn’t mistaken, Liu Meng was probably planning to go solo, to start her own company, to create her own brand...

If she played her cards right, she might be able to drive Liu Meng out of JM Entertainment altogether. With a little manipulation, by hiring some paid trolls to stir up controversies, Liu Meng could forget about winning this year’s Queen award.

Liu Meng was well aware of Yang Anlin’s little schemes, but even if Wu Tianlu showed up today, she would definitely protect Chen Wei!

Thinking of bullying her junior in front of her? No way!

Three or four minutes later, Wu Tianlu hurried over, "What happened?"

"President Wu, that person caused trouble with me for no reason. I asked him to apologize, but Liu Meng, relying on her high influence at JM Entertainment, ganged up to bully me. You must stand up for me!" Yang Anlin exclaimed.

Liu Meng had seen Yang Anlin’s acting before, and it was bad, as bad as it gets. However, this performance... Liu Meng thought it wouldn’t be unreasonable to give her a passing grade for it. The acting was just too on-point, undoubtedly a true drama queen!

"What!" Wu Tianlu immediately questioned Chen Wei, "Is what she’s saying true? Who are you to Liu Meng?"

"He’s the most important person to me," Liu Meng introduced him proactively.

"The most important person?" Wu Tianlu’s mind jumped to the thought of a couple, and he became enraged, "Liu Meng, don’t you know the company has a rule against artists dating during their contract period? What if it gets out? Can you bear the consequences it would have on the company?"

Wu Tianlu was one of the many wolves who had designs on Liu Meng. Recent issues with contract renewal and the lack of a positive response from Liu Meng made him increasingly impatient with her.

Liu Meng might be a great contributor to JM Entertainment, but so what? In the three months since Wu Tianlu took over the company, he had come to thoroughly understand the workings of JM Entertainment.

Nowadays, JM Entertainment had most of the entertainment industry’s connections and resources. Even without Liu Meng, it wouldn’t threaten the company’s operations.

He had even thought that if Liu Meng insisted on not renewing her contract with JM Entertainment, he would collaborate with the entire industry to quietly blacklist her until her popularity waned.

In an era where the popularity of streaming stars faded faster than outdated cell phones, doing something like this was incredibly easy.

If he couldn’t have her, he’d rather see her destroyed!

Wu Tianlu didn’t believe Liu Meng was foolish. She surely knew what she should choose.

Taking a tough stance now would be more beneficial for negotiations later.

"He’s not my boyfriend; he’s my junior. Please, President Wu, do not misunderstand," Liu Meng wouldn’t give Wu Tianlu a chance to make an issue out of it.

But Wu Tianlu proved more difficult than she expected, "So it’s okay if he’s not your boyfriend? What if the paparazzi catch you, post it online, write some stories – how many people do you think would be willing to listen to your explanations?"

"You’re also a veteran in the music industry, not a newcomer. Can’t you understand this basic principle?" Wu Tianlu posed as if he had her best interests at heart.

"In any case, I don’t want to see anything related to this person near you in the future. As for you," he lifted his hand, pointing at Chen Wei, "apologize to her, then disappear."

He was like an emperor, making all the decisions alone, without needing anyone’s advice.

"Why should I apologize to her?" Chen Wei asked.

"There’s no reason! If I tell you to apologize, you must apologize!" Wu Tianlu glared with eyes wide open, his fierce demeanor on full display, adopting the posture of a superior.

"Then you’re rather overestimating yourself," Chen Wei said with a smile.

"What did you say!" This time, Wu Tianlu was thoroughly angered by Chen Wei.

"President Wu, wouldn’t it be better to get the facts straight before demanding an apology?" Liu Meng interjected.

"Shut up!" Wu Tianlu had no intention of letting Liu Meng tell him what to do, he stepped closer to Chen Wei, raised his hand to his shoulder, pressing down slightly with his fingers to exert pressure, "I’m asking you one last time, do you apologize or not?"

Wu Tianlu needed this to assert his authority, to instill a sense of awe in everyone, so no one would dare defy him!

Chen Wei grabbed Wu Tianlu’s hand that was on his shoulder, and with just a bit of thumb pressure, Wu Tianlu immediately let go. His brow furrowed slightly, then deeply, his complexion starting to turn ugly.

"You little brat! What are you doing! Let go! Let go now!" Wu Tianlu’s other hand clenched into a fist, aiming to punch Chen Wei to force him to release his grip.

However, Chen Wei saw right through it, catching it, and using the same move against him.

Under the dual pain, Wu Tianlu was almost brought to tears.

"What are you waiting for! Security, call security!" Wu Tianlu shouted.

"Oh! Right," Hearing this, Yang Anlin quickly took out his phone, calling the security room to have them all come up.

Liu Meng also took out her phone, found the contact named "Grandpa Wu," and sent a message.

Feeling that before the situation escalated even further, the only person capable of suppressing Wu Tianlu was the old man himself.

"Kid, let go now! Or you’ll regret it when I’m through with you!" Wu Tianlu barked a threat, menacingly.

From his lofty position, he now bore a hint of dishevelment.

"Smart move," Chen Wei said.

Just as Wu Tianlu was about to wear a triumphant smile, having one hand freed by Chen Wei, a great force suddenly hit him, and his body uncontrollably flew out.

Bang!

He flew out of the recording studio, across the corridor, and crashed into the opposite wall.

"Annoying," Chen Wei dusted his hands off, as if they were dirty.

"You’re insane!" Seeing this, Yang Anlin immediately chased after him to help Wu Tianlu up, "President Wu, are you, are you alright?"

"Do I look alright to you? Don’t! Don’t touch me!" Wu Tianlu roared, feeling as if all his bones were about to fall apart.

Ding!

The elevator doors opened with a noise, the two doors parted to reveal security staff in uniforms packed inside, pouring out with the force of a flood!
