Chapter 265: Have A Sincere Attitude When Asking For Help

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Father Gu was very unhappy that Li Lei refused to help him.

Father Gu called him a few times to persuade him using his status as an elder to get Ye Xingling back as soon as possible. In Father Gu’s eyes, so what if Li Lei was the younger grandson of the Li family which was a triad? No matter what, he was part of the younger generation and soon or later would marry his daughter. His Linlin was so outstanding, how could she not marry the man she loved?

That also meant that sooner or later, Li Lei would have to call him “father-in-law.”

Father Gu was displeased. This was Li Lei’s attitude towards his future father-in-law?

Over the phone, his voice became stricter. “Xiao Lei, why are you trying to shirk responsibility? Even if Ye Xingling is about to leave Skyart, she still has a contract with us! As her Boss, isn’t the right thing to ask her to apologize to Linlin and reshoot the advertisement? Why do you have to make the situation more difficult?!”

He was worried. This had to be settled as soon as possible. Otherwise, once Old Master found out about it, Gu Lin would be punished.

Li Lei smiled warmly and respectfully. “Uncle Gu, Xiao Ling is more stubborn than your daughter. Do you think she will be willing to apologize to her? Besides, the one at fault is not her. How about I liaise with her manager and we discuss the matter. You can also send someone here to discuss the terms with Xiao Ling’s manager.”

“Xiao Lei, are you really not going to give us any face?” Father Gu was enraged.

“We can’t always be giving you face.” Li Lei’s tone was slightly cold. “Uncle Gu, do you still remember what happened during the reception party at Imperial Entertainment? You and Gu Lin made Xiao Ling’s life difficult in front of so many prominent guests. At that time, I already said that I would not be giving you face anymore.”

Father Gu choked and vaguely remembered that he said something like that.

How incorrigible. Wasn’t she just a small star? “You have already broken up with her, why are you still protecting her?!”

“That’s none of your business.” Li Lei said. “Uncle Gu, if there’s nothing else, I will hang up first.” He hung up the phone and sent someone to instruct Sister Mai Na not to be polite if anyone from the Gu Financial Magnate tried to look for Xiao Ling.

They would have to pay the price for messing with the one he loved.

Old family friends were not spared.

Father Gu was so enraged that he smashed his phone.

Gu Lin looked at him with a worried expression. “How was it, dad? Did Brother Lei not agree to it?”

“Your Brother Lei is really blinded by that vixen!” Father Gu said scornfully. He turned around and saw that Gu Lin’s face had slightly turned white, and tears were brimming in her eyes. His heart ached again. “Silly girl, don’t be afraid. I will think of another way out for you.”

“What other way can there be?!” Gu Lin threw a tantrum. “Dad, why can’t you even settle such a small thing?! Quickly ask that irritating Ye Xingling to come back for a reshoot. Otherwise, I will be sent to Green Island Girls’ Boarding School by Old Master Gu! I refuse to go there!” She had caused a lot of trouble once and was sent to Green Island Girls’ Boarding School by Old Master Gu who told her to respect the rules. That school was in a very isolated area with stringent rules. The girls all wore long dark skirts and had very short hair. They were as ugly as nuns, had to have a mass every meal and become vegetarians! She was not crazy enough to want to be sent back there.

Father Gu also could not bear for his daughter to be sent back there.

“I’ve already sent someone to liaise with Ye Xingling’s manager.” Since the situation was like that, he could only listen to Li Lei and look for Sister Mai Na. No matter how unwilling Father Gu was, he was forced to lower himself by the circumstances.

He thought that he had already lowered himself enough.

Unexpectedly, Sister Mai Na required him to lower himself even more. “Gu Financial Magnate? Recently, you have caused a lot of trouble for us.” Sister Mai Na smiled smugly like a queen at the Gu Financial Magnate’s representative. “You want to beg Xiao Ling to go back? Alright then, please be more sincere.”

The representative from Gu Financial Magnate understood that if he did not give any incentives, he would not be able to persuade Ye Xingling. Gritting his teeth, he asked, “What sort of incentives are you looking at?”

“Ten times the appearance fee.”

“What?!” This manager was trying to commit daylight robbery! The Gu Financial Magnate’s representative was about to go crazy. Ye Xingling was originally appointed by Old Master Gu on behalf of Li Lei. They had a high-level relationship, and her appearance fee was one of the highest. If the basic fee was increased by ten times... Wouldn’t the Gu Financial Magnate be overpaying her?!

“Not willing? Then forget it.” Sister Mai Na did not wish to speak with him further.

She had received Li Lei’s instructions and was determined to make life difficult for the Gu Financial Magnate. With Big Boss Li’s instructions, she acted very haughtily. Since Xiao Ling had been so wronged, Sister Mai Na had to vent her frustrations for her.

“Is it possible for it to be cheaper?” The representative gave a pained look and enquired. “Two times?”

Sister Mai Na emotionlessly stared at him.

“Three times?”

Sister Mai Na turned around to leave.

“Hey, don’t! Please stop!” The representative quickly tried to stop her. “Sister Mai Na, we’re not that stingy. It is just that ten times the original fee is a little absurd. Even hiring a famous celebrity is not that expensive. Can you make an exception this time?”

“Are you done talking?” Sister Mai Na lifted her wrist to check the time. “We’re very busy.”

She was prepared to leave again.

The representative was in despair and did not dare to argue further with her. He quickly replied, “Ok. If you want ten times the fee, then we will pay you ten times the fee!” The CEO had given him a death order to rehire Ye Xingling no matter the cost. If he could not accomplish this task, the CEO would definitely skin him alive.

Sister Mai Na stopped but still looked at him icily.

“Ten times, ten times!” The representative carefully smiled. “It’s settled then. How about we rearrange a time for the shoot?”

“Who said I agreed?” Sister Mai Na sneered.

“What? I thought you wanted ten times the fee...”

“That’s right, but it is only one of the conditions.” Sister Mai Na continued to smile coldly.

“My dear sister, please don’t go too far...” Before the representative could finish speaking, Sister Mai Na had already turned around, so he immediately changed his tone. “What other conditions do you have? Please tell me!”

“We want Gu Lin to apologize to Xiao Ling.” Sister Mai Na went straight to the point.

“How is that possible?” The representative was in agony. “Our Miss Gu is very hot-tempered. The fact that she agreed to let Miss Ye return is already making a concession, how can she lower herself more in front of Miss Ye?”

“What do you mean she agreed to let Miss Ye return?” Sister Mai Na raised an eyebrow. “Watch your words!”

“Yes, yes.” The representative wiped his sweat. “Miss Gu wants to rehire Miss Ye.”

“Rehire?” Sister Mai Na continued to challenge him.

“Yes, rehire. Is there something wrong?” The representative gave her a confused look.

“Think again.”

“Sister Mai Na, please don’t make things more difficult for me.” The representative was about to go crazy. “Since it is not a rehiring, then tell me what it is. It will be whatever you say it is!”

“Well then, listen clearly.” Sister Mai Na spoke unkindly and looked at him coldly. “Xiao Ling has rejected to shoot with you. The Gu Financial Magnate had no other way to salvage the situation, so now, the Gu Financial Magnate is begging us to come back. You’re begging us, understand? Gu Lin is begging Xiao Ling to go back!”

Beg?

Absolutely. How were they not begging them? However, was it ok for Sister Mai Na to say that so bluntly?

The representative that was also the head of a department actually felt very humiliated. He blamed the brain-dead Miss Gu. Otherwise, he would not have to tolerate Sister Mai Na’s anger for no reason!

However, to mediate the situation, he still replied, “Yes, we’re begging you.”

The earlier he settled this situation, the earlier he would be freed from it. He would just go with whatever Sister Mai Na said.

“Very good. Even you have admitted that your company is begging us.” Sister Mai Na nodded her head in satisfaction. “Since Gu Lin wants to beg for someone’s help, she should have a more sincere attitude.”
