Chapter 1751: Chapter 717: So-Called Laws

"Zhou... Mr. Zhou, what do you mean by that, Jiang Mo isn’t coming?"

Linda was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then hurriedly asked, "Did something happen, or is she not feeling well?"

This time, it was Zhou Wang’s turn to be stunned.

Then Zhou Wang realized, perhaps from Linda’s perspective, she still couldn’t believe Jiang Mo would refuse such a good opportunity?

Finding it somewhat amusing, Zhou Wang shook his head, "She’s in good health and nothing urgent has come up."

"Then why..."

"You know she’s not suited for these kinds of events, and I don’t want her to come."

Zhou Wang said straightforwardly, his gaze indifferent, "I thought we had already reached a consensus on this issue."

Linda automatically ignored the latter sentence, only her expression changed slightly as her voice suddenly and uncontrollably rose:

"You... you’re not letting her come? Mr. Zhou, do you know what you’re doing?"

"What have I done?"

"You’re obstructing her career progression, no, this isn’t just obstruction, it’s destruction, it’s ruin, do you know that!"

Linda seemed very agitated, she tried to lower her voice but still caught the attention of those around them.

"Mr. Zhou, I know you’ve mentioned before to minimize Jiang Mo’s social engagements, but today’s situation is completely different, this is her debut, and do you know who the people present are? I’m paving the way for her..."

"Is this why you acted on impulse, without even discussing it with her, and made a unilateral decision?"

Zhou Wang’s voice turned completely cold, "Linda, I remember telling you from the start, just do your own duties... Seems like you’ve gotten a bit carried away."

Linda could no longer control her expression.

Her heart was full of resentment.

She believed she’s been considerate enough to Zhou Wang, even knowing he went bankrupt, still trying to explain to him and seek his understanding, yet how did Zhou Wang treat her?

Linda laughed in anger, "Mr. Zhou... you should be grateful I still address you as Mr. Zhou, you know nothing about the entertainment industry, I’m doing this entirely for Jiang Mo’s sake, yet you’re constantly pointing fingers at me!"

"That’s right, I conceived this gratitude banquet on whim, but I don’t think I’ve done anything wrong, and I’m not asking Jiang Mo to compromise herself, all she needs to do is show up and smile, greet everyone here, you know this would save her years of effort!"

Zhou Wang looked at the increasingly sharp-voiced Linda, instantly losing interest in speaking, he just looked at her calmly.

In Linda’s eyes, this was a sign of Zhou Wang showing weakness, which further confirmed a certain suspicion in her heart, a hint of disdain flashed in her gaze...

Indeed, the bankrupt Zhou Wang had lost his original confidence, he refused to let Jiang Mo attend the banquet because he feared Jiang Mo would drift further away from him.

"Mr. Zhou, stop messing around, will you? Quickly let Jiang Mo come, you want her to earn money quickly too, after all, you now... uh, also need to see returns from the studio quickly, some sacrifices are necessary, right? Let me handle the professional matters, and you can quietly be the man behind her, what’s wrong with that?"

Linda didn’t "expose" Zhou Wang but acted as if she was genuinely considering his situation, whispering rapidly.

"Qian Ying, what’s going on? Didn’t this person just say Miss Jiang won’t be attending the banquet?"

The dispute between the two had long drawn others’ attention, only Linda kept her voice down, preventing others from hearing what she was saying clearly.

However, Zhou Wang’s earlier remark when he first appeared was heard by several people, and now that Linda couldn’t promptly end her conversation with this unfamiliar young man and report the situation, Mr. Chen impatiently asked.

"Oh, Mr. Chen, everyone, sorry, uh, just a slight unexpected issue... um, this is Jiang Mo’s assistant, I’m talking to him, it’ll be resolved soon, Jiang Mo is on her way, please..."

Seeing the guests gathered around, Linda could only quickly apologize with a smile.

"I am not Jiang Mo’s assistant."

At this moment, Zhou Wang suddenly spoke up.

Linda froze, then looked at Zhou Wang in surprise and anger, frantically giving him signals, fearing he would continue saying the wrong things.

But Zhou Wang ignored her, merely glanced at the surrounding guests and said, "My name is Zhou Wang, Jiang Mo is my woman."

His tone was calm, as if introducing a trivial matter, but it quieted the surroundings for a moment.

"What?"

The young man called Brother Xun was the first to change his expression and look at Linda, "Sister Qian, didn’t you tell me Senior Sister Jiang was still single?"

And Mr. Chen, from a certain well-known film company, furrowed his brows slightly... Zhou Wang, why does this name sound familiar, yet can’t immediately recall where he heard it.

"Uh, it’s a misunderstanding, Brother Xun, don’t listen to his nonsense..."

"Jiang Mo’s studio was funded by me, I’ll say it again, she is my woman."

Zhou Wang looked around, as if declaring something, paused and continued, "Also, everyone, don’t wait tonight, she won’t attend... not only now, but unless necessary, she won’t attend any social events of this nature in the future."

It got quiet again, everyone seemed to look at each other in bewilderment.

Such is the subtle nature of aura, Zhou Wang was very calm, but inexplicably, everyone around felt a vague pressure from him.
