Chapter 15 : Enemies

• Thinking about how women would grit their teeth and wish to devour him alive when they saw him, Fu Junqi couldn't help but chuckle. He said he didn't mind, but it was definitely because he was shy and didn't want to bring it up.
• Well, if she didn't want to talk about it, he didn't need to hold onto it.
• Feeling restless and uneasy, An Yating was still thinking about whether she had said something wrong when her phone suddenly vibrated.
• A man directly made a video call, catching her off guard.
• An Yating was so scared that she almost threw her phone away, hastily hanging up the call.
• "I'm going to bed, you should rest well too!" After sending this message, An Yating kept staring at the screen, praying that Fu Junqi wouldn't send another video.
• Continuously rejecting him would only expose her faster.
• Fortunately, the man didn't persist and only sent a goodnight message before disappearing.
• She collapsed onto the bed, her ivory white silk pajamas exuding an air of elegance under the dim yellow light.
• An Yating couldn't sleep and spent the night contemplating.
• If she didn't want to be exposed, she could only target Su Qianqian. As long as she left A City and disappeared completely from Fu Junqi's life, with the passage of time, Fu Junqi would not forget her.
• Even if he loved her, what could he do? Can love withstand the test of time?
• With this brilliant plan in mind, An Yating finally found some comfort and fell into a deep sleep.
• The next day.
• An Yating didn't laze in bed as usual. She got up early, washed up, and dressed herself.
• Despite her lack of sleep, she still looked dignified and graceful. She had always believed that a wealthy lady should have a neat appearance and a refined and charming demeanor.
• Not being able to get rid of Su Qianqian troubled her day and night.
• The butler noticed that something was off and, following the young master's instructions, approached her and asked, "Madam, is there anything you need to instruct?"
• Indeed, he had been a loyal servant in the Fu family for twenty years, and he could see through her worries at a glance.
• An Yating gave the butler a disdainful look and arrogantly asked, "What resources does Mr. Fu have in the entertainment industry?" As she spoke, she picked up the bird's nest in front of her and sipped it slowly.
• The butler pondered for a moment and answered seriously, "The young master is not interested in the entertainment industry, so he invests very little. He only has a thirty percent stake in Phoenix Entertainment."
• "Cough!" An Yating almost choked.
• This was considered a small investment? Phoenix Entertainment was one of the three major entertainment companies!
• Having a thirty percent stake meant being a major shareholder.
• Seeing that An Yating's reaction was off, the butler asked again, "Does Madam have something in mind? The young master instructed me that if you have any wishes, I should try my best to fulfill them."
• An Yating stared at the butler, who was leaning forward, and sneered in her heart. What if I ask you to drive Su Qianqian out of A City?
• "I'm just asking casually." She laughed it off, not wanting the butler to tell Fu Junqi about this matter.
• "Can you help me check the recent announcements from Shine7?" An Yating lazily said as she put the last spoonful of bird's nest into her mouth.
• She pretended to be indifferent, showing her curiosity.
• "Yes."
• The butler didn't waste any words and went to check the announcements.
• Shine7 was her former group, so it was natural for her to be concerned.
• The butler didn't know that An Yating had been at odds with the members of Shine7 and had become enemies.
• Fu Junqi regularly monitored his assets, and the butler remembered it well.
• Shine7 was just a small girl group, and their announcements were not a secret. The butler could easily find the information.
• An Yating lay comfortably on the bed, receiving a massage from her servant, while the butler stood by the bed and read out the announcements from Shine7.
• But they were all small commercial activities and performances that couldn't make a big splash.
• After such a long time, there was no progress at all.
• An Yating was relieved that she had left that ill-fated group.
• "Shine7 members Zhao Qianyun, Ma Weiwei, and Su Qianqian will participate in the recording of a variety show..."
• Before the butler could finish his sentence, An Yating interrupted him directly.
• "When is it?" She sat up from the bed, alertly asking.
• Although the butler found it strange, he checked the information carefully and replied, "It's the day after tomorrow."
• Without hesitation, a trace of cruelty flashed across An Yating's face as she coldly said, "Use your connections to remove the Shine7 members."
• The butler stood there in confusion, not understanding what Madam meant.
• He had also come from Shine7, and as the saying goes, one should not forget their roots. He didn't expect Madam to be so ruthless towards her former group members.
• The butler's worldview was once again shattered by An Yating.
• This was a rare opportunity that might not come again in a lifetime, and An Yating was ruining Shine7's future!
• The young master had instructed him to fulfill Madam's wishes, so the butler had no choice but to comply.
• However, their recent interactions had made him very dissatisfied with An Yating, and he couldn't help but make things difficult for her. He told An Yating that she could only remove one person.
• An Yating, savoring her wine, looked dazed, lost in her extravagant lifestyle.
• "Then remove Su Qianqian. Announce it now."
• The answer was obvious to An Yating, and she didn't need to think much about it.
• When she was in the group, she was always overshadowed by Su Qianqian, who was better than her in every aspect.
• Now that Su Qianqian had become Fu Junqi's true love, how could An Yating not hold a grudge?
• The butler noted down the name and left. He immediately contacted the producer and requested the removal of Su Qianqian.
• Su Qianqian had worked hard to lose three pounds for this variety show, just to look good on camera.
• Seeing her members' resentment towards her for getting the opportunity they didn't, Su Qianqian was relieved.
• But when she received the notice of being removed, Su Qianqian felt completely bewildered.
• She didn't say a word, but Ma Weiwei, who was next to her, was the first to explode.
• She stood up from her chair with a righteous air.
• "Why? Why should they replace you just like that? Is the credibility of the production team so low?"
• Ma Weiwei's voice was loud, quickly attracting the attention of other guests.
• Everyone was puzzled and looked at her with disdain, thinking that Ma Weiwei had no manners.
• "Not popular, yet so temperamental? How can someone like her ever become popular?"
• "Yeah, someone like her will never make it in her lifetime."
• Some derogatory comments reached Su Qianqian's ears, and she knew that if this continued, Shine7's reputation would be affected.
• Su Qianqian grabbed Ma Weiwei's wrist with her hand, and the icy sensation spread from her wrist to Ma Weiwei's whole body.
• Ma Weiwei came to her senses and looked at Su Qianqian, who had a look of disappointment.
• "Weiwei, I've been replaced for a reason. Just focus on recording the show, and I'll cheer you on." The education she had received since childhood told Su Qianqian that even if she was feeling down, she couldn't show it. But her ability to hide her emotions was very poor, and it was written all over her face no matter how hard she tried.
• Ma Weiwei grabbed Su Qianqian's hand with her hot hand and said, "If you're not recording, then I won't either."
• "Don't get worked up. Besides the expensive breach of contract fee, participating in the show will also bring glory to the group."
• Su Qianqian understood the greater good and managed to shake Ma Weiwei's resolve with just a few words.
• She fell silent and felt that participating alone would be a betrayal to Su Qianqian, but she had no choice.
• Zhao Qianyun, who had been silent all along, saw Su Qianqian slowly packing her things and spoke helplessly, "The production team never adjusts the members the day before filming."
• Su Qianqian stopped packing and looked at Zhao Qianyun and Ma Weiwei.
• "If they don't adjust the members, then this means..." Ma Weiwei blurted out.
• "Since they don't adjust the members, then this is..." Ma Weiwei spoke her mind.
• "To be honest, the entertainment industry is a treacherous place. You never know who you might have offended," Zhao Qianyun, having spent many years in the showbiz, had seen too much of such incidents to be greatly surprised anymore.
