Chapter 641: Chapter 408: Minghuang Group, Young Master Leng, When Will the Kiss Scene Be Filmed?

Dragon Country’s capital, within the Fifth Ring.

A modern high-rise entirely covered with dark glass curtain walls, towering and reflecting a cold sheen under the sunlight.

This building, about a dozen stories tall, is precisely the renowned entertainment giant in the industry—Tianyu International.

As one of the key players in Dragon Country’s entertainment industry, Tianyu International boasts artists ranging from top A-list celebrities to unknown newcomers.

The company’s market value reaches hundreds of billions, truly a flagship in the industry.

At this moment, inside a luxurious office at the top floor of this glossy building, the atmosphere is as cold as the glass curtain walls outside.

"What?"

A low shout, suppressing anger, broke the silence, spoken by a man.

He slammed the file in his left hand onto the expensive mahogany desk, while still holding a phone in his right hand.

"Didn’t I tell you to persuade her? Why is Lu Xiaoying still insistent on taking leave?" His chest heaved slightly, voice filled with disbelief and anger.

"Does she think of this company as her backyard? Coming and going at will?"

He took a deep breath, trying to calm down, but his gaze was even more threatening as he delivered an ultimatum to the phone.

"Gong Qing, you’re her manager, don’t tell me you can’t even handle this."

"I’m giving you one last warning, immediately arrange Lu Xiaoying’s schedule for tomorrow!"

"The crew must start on time tomorrow, there’s no room for negotiation!"

At the top floor of Tianyu International Building, inside a large modern office with a superb view.

A man in his forties, dressed in an expensive tailored suit, paced anxiously.

He had the demeanor of a successful person, with the metallic glint of his luxurious wristwatch shimmering.

Unfortunately, his thinning hair and noticeable bald spot undermined the carefully crafted aura.

This man was Zhao, the head of Tianyu International.

At this moment, he tightly gripped the latest smartphone, his brows deeply furrowed.

Speaking harshly into the microphone, completely devoid of the composure he usually displayed to the media.

On the other end, a woman’s voice tried to explain, "Mr. Zhao, but..."

"No buts!"

Zhao rudely interrupted, the veins at his temple pulsing with excitement.

His calm and facade were completely shattered, his voice raised with anger.

"I don’t want to hear any excuses! I only want results! If this thing is messed up, the consequences are not something you or she can afford!"

Zhao sounded drained, his voice carrying a slight tremble.

He almost disregarded maintaining his executive demeanor, speaking into the phone almost pleadingly, "Hey, Gong Qing... I beg you, okay?"

Zhao took a deep breath, as if saying the name required immense courage.

"Haven’t you figured out the situation?"

"The contract we’re signing this time isn’t with some ordinary investor, it’s with Minghuang Group!!!"

The words "Minghuang" were spoken with heavy emphasis, filled with indescribable fear and powerlessness.

"Tianyu International may look glamorous, but in front of Minghuang Group, we’re just a small company, we simply can’t afford to provoke them!"

Zhao’s speech quickened, trying to fully transmit the urgent sense of crisis to the other party.

"Once we breach the contract, it’s not just Lu Xiaoying facing astronomical compensation and career ruin,

our entire Tianyu International will go down with her, and suffering a heavy blow would be getting off lightly! Do you understand?"

This near-breakdown confession completely dismantled his prior wrath, leaving only primal fear and pleading.

This was the first time Zhao, so disregarding his position, pleaded with a subordinate.

All because the pressure from Minghuang Group was too overwhelming, he simply couldn’t afford any mistakes.

Elsewhere, a pink customized car, like a flowing fantasy color, slowly drove into the core of Dragon Country’s capital.

A top-tier villa area within the Third Ring.

The tranquility here seemed like a world apart from the city’s hustle and bustle.

Dense greenery cleverly separated the various uniquely styled single-family villas, ensuring absolute privacy.

Every inch of land is precious, with property prices long surpassing the imagination of ordinary wealthy people, so-called astronomical, with prices per square meter reaching tens of thousands.

Here, any seemingly unremarkable mansion is valued starting in the tens of millions.

Without wealth in the hundreds of millions and matching social status, one wouldn’t even have the qualification to step in and take a glance.

The pink car smoothly traveled the quiet tree-lined path, finally coming to a silent stop.

In front of a three-story villa that merged modern simplicity with traditional elegance.

Here was Lu Xiaoying’s residence in the capital, personally selected and purchased by her father, Lu Yulong.

In Lu Yulong’s view, no matter who suffers, his dear daughter must not.

Especially when it comes to safety and living quality, there can be no compromise.

If not for this, given Lu Xiaoying’s current status as a second-tier, somewhat lesser star, even if her career went smoothly, her annual income would be just over five million.

To fully pay for such a top-tier mansion worth tens of millions at any given time, even if she didn’t eat or drink, it would take five to six years to save up.

And that would only give her the "qualification to take a glance," far from practical ownership.
