Chapter 219: Wei Zhiqian’s Expression Radiates Danger

Even though he was popular among some artists, his success was still subject to having connections with managers.

Some managers wanted to introduce new members to the cast, while there were others who he could not afford to dispute with.

He also often attended meals and events with them.

As a director, he didn’t actually wield that much power yet at all.

However, the managers who he was in contact with on a daily basis did not even compare to Wei Zhiqian in the slightest.

He had been able to direct dramas invested in by Han Bang, but didn’t have a prayer of interacting with Han Xijin or Han Zhuoli.

And now Wei Zhiqian had boldly offered to invest in his productions…

How could Director Liu not be happy? He looked upon this offer with reverence and awe.

Director Liu knew that there was no such thing as a free meal in this world.

Wei Zhiqian had a reason of his own for offering to help Director Liu, and Director Liu knew what it was.

“Major Wei, don’t you worry. I know exactly what to do,” Director Liu said immediately.

Wei Zhiqian nodded, then took Tan Mo’s hand and they left together.

Yuan Qishan watched them as they turned their backs to her and left. Only then did she turn around and ask, “Director Liu, you just referred to him as Major Wei, is he…?”

It was very odd for Director Liu to be so polite. He was only like this with a select few of the managers.

“The Wei family has appointed him as their next president and housemaster,” Director Liu said as he briefly introduced her to what was what with Wei Zhiqian. “Right now, he’s training for those t.i.tles. Even though he’s only been working at the company for a short period of time, all the higher-ups have been cozying up to him. There were some people who initially teased him for being too young, but now no one dares to do any such thing any longer.”

His actual strength and power were now visible.

Wei Zhiqian was young, and he was fighting for many different roles. So naturally, all eyes were on him.

All he possessed was a curious power…

There were many people who were just watching from the sidelines to see what was going to play out.

This was why not many outsiders had any insight or news regarding his situation.

But if you had a few connections, you’d be able to get some general news about him.

Director Liu often attended meals with the Beijing managers, and sometimes they would talk about insider gossip.

Wei Zhiqian’s situation had often been brought up for discussion at the various tables.

Many of the managers who Director Liu knew were surprised by Wei Zhiqian and actually in awe of him.

Those men who were raised to be successors had not often disappointed.

No wonder the eight families had lasted this long.

Some of the managers were so impressed that they could only wish their own sons could begin to match up with Wei Zhiqian. If their sons were as accomplished as he was, they wouldn’t have to worry about their families ever again.

Clearly, Wei Zhiqian’s power was unmatched.

Yuan Qishan turned pale. “So…so that’s Wei Zhiqian?”

“Don’t worry. He won’t ruin you.” Director Liu didn’t elaborate any further on this. He left immediately after stating it.

…

“Does Director Liu really understand?” Wei Zhiqian followed Tan Mo into her room.

Once they had entered, Tan Mo asked, “Director Liu won’t overreact, will he?”

“Did you understand what I meant?” Wei Zhiqian was interested in Tan Mo’s train of thought.

She nodded. “Yuan Qishan’s a tiny problem in the grand scheme of things. I don’t think anyone has to ruin her at all just for this. As long as a lesson is taught… I think that will be good enough.

“What I think he means to do is to ensure that Yuan Qishan won’t be able to pick up or handle any other big dramas and series like these in the future. Maybe, at most, she’ll write a few online dramas. With this type of drama, the chances of it blowing up in popularity are very slim. Also, there are different types of online dramas. Ones where big companies invest, and others where only small companies invest. Maybe Yuan Qishan will only be able to write for small companies. Who knows?

“If that is the case, then the chances of the drama becoming popular are going to be even lower. Even if she does earn a reputation, her chance of writing for big companies is small.

She continued, “But, of course, every episode she writes will still earn her 30,000 or 40,000 dollars. That’s already quite a high income. Enough for her to live a good life, at least.”

The only thing in her way would be a problem with her reputation.

And what Yuan Qishan really wanted was a good reputation.

Good money and good connections only came with a good reputation.

Wei Zhiqian had already ruined what she wanted most. She’d suffered enough.

Wei Zhiqian reached out his hand to ruffle the hair on Tan Mo’s head. “Mo Mo really does understand how I think.

“Director Liu probably didn’t want to let her off very easily either.” Wei Zhiqian walked toward the sofa and sat down. “As long as he mentions it at every big meal he goes to, he will have achieved the desired result.

“Do you think that’s enough?” If Tan Mo thought that it wasn’t, Wei Zhiqian could make things worse for Yuan Qishan.

“It’s enough, it’s enough.” Tan Mo didn’t exactly want to absolutely demolish her. “She’s already going to pay dearly for what she’s done. That’s good enough.”

But honestly, even if Wei Zhiqan hadn’t said anything, Director Liu would have done something anyway.

That’s because Yuan Qishan had really caused a huge loss for him.

And it was only because of Tan Mo that they didn’t they not suffer any losses this time around.

But this didn’t mean that Yuan Qishan and Shen Jingyi should get away with what they’d done.

Tan Mo didn’t exactly want Wei Zhiqian to give his all to some plan to demolish them.

For starters, she really felt that there was no need for it.

Just a tiny punishment would be good enough.

Wei Zhiqian was just furious. He was completely furious that Yuan Qishan and Shen Jingyi had hurt Tan Mo.

But, of course, she had the ability to heal herself.

But Yuan Qishan and Shen Jingyi didn’t know about this.

They had meant to hurt her.

However, Tan Mo could heal herself, so it was okay.

But what if she hadn’t been able to?

And what if they had been really careless and hurt her entire hand instead?

Wei Zhiqian was going to make them pay. They asked for it themselves.

But Tan Mo didn’t want him to do too much.

As long as it was within whatever boundaries that Director Liu wanted to do, then it was enough.

In that case, then Wei Zhiqian wouldn’t have to get mixed up in the entire situation.

Tan Mo obviously cared more for Wei Zhiqian than this spiteful issue about her hand.

As long as something was going to happen, she wouldn’t have Wei Zhiqian suffer anything from some unnecessary consequences.

She sat down next to him naturally as she said that.

Wei Zhiqian carefully caressed her wrist and pulled her scalded right hand over. “Does it hurt?”

“Hey, don’t you forget that I can heal myself.” Tan Mo reached her left hand out.

Wei Zhiqian was startled for a second. He really had forgotten about that.

Yet he didn’t let out a sigh of relief. “Even if you can heal yourself, it must have still hurt in the moment that it happened.”

Tan Mo lowered her tiny head. That was true.

If it had been anyone else, hearing about her ability to heal herself would have eased all their worries. But with Wei Zhiqian, it was different.

Hearing those words from him made her float a little. It was as if a little sun had warmed up her heart.

“Wait.” Wei Zhiqian suddenly said.

“Hmm?” Tan Mo raised her head curiously.

“I knew about your abilities when I got hurt. I was hurt quite badly then, and there were many other things that required investigation, so I didn’t pay too much attention to it.” Wei Zhiqian’s eyes crinkled as he smiled.

Tan Mo didn’t know what to say.

Why did she feel as if this expression of his radiated danger?

“I remember that you told me then that you realized this when you were a kid?” he said.

Tan Mo nodded.

Even with her outstanding memory, she suddenly forgot everything at this moment. She was just following Wei Zhiqian’s lead.

After seeing her nod, he smiled.
