Chapter 92: I Never Expected You to Be So Unfaithful!

Chapter 92: I Never Expected You to Be So Unfaithful!

After trying out for the role, Jian Li went home and started studying the script.

He didn't want to fight an unprepared battle—getting kissed senseless right from the start.

As he read the script while eating skewers, his expression grew increasingly strange.

"Damn?"

"Is this even possible?"

"Really, it can be like this?"

"My God, it really can be like this?"

"..."

Unable to continue, Jian Li threw the script away.

His face was burning, and images were forming in his mind.

If he replaced the faces with his own and Huo Xiao's...

Damn, too much, no, too embarrassing!

Just as he was lost in the smutty thoughts, his phone buzzed with a notification.

Jian Li instinctively tapped the screen,

and a half-naked image appeared before his eyes.

Narrow waist, broad shoulders, well-defined but not overly muscular, clearly just out of the shower, water droplets still clinging to his skin, a towel loosely tied around his waist, the V-lines disappearing into it.

Jian Li, "... Is this blatant seduction?"

I just finished reading the script, and you send me this photo,

Could it be you're providing material for my imagination?!

His finger hesitated, unsure what to reply, when the photo was suddenly retracted.

Jian Li, "???!?"

Huo Xiao: "Sorry, sent it to the wrong person."

Jian Li, "..."

So you weren't sending it to me, but to someone else?!

Tsk tsk tsk, I never expected you to be so unfaithful!

And you're supposed to be my TV boyfriend!

Jian Li couldn't help frowning, "Who were you going to send it to?"

The other end showed [Typing...] but no message came through.

He gradually became more agitated, gripping the skewer tighter.

Meanwhile, at the Huo family villa.

Three aunts surrounded Huo Xiao, chattering away.

"The best way to flirt is to leave it at that, you must hold back!"

Huo Xiao sighed, "Will it really work? What if Xiao Li thinks I'm a pervert?"

"Do you have any other moves?" asked the aunt in the green qipao, "I don't think Xiao Li is interested in money, you can only use your one asset!"

Just that?

What does she mean?

Nothing else but his body?!

Huo Xiao opened his mouth to say something, but his phone, clutched in his hand, vibrated.

He quickly checked it, and the other three heads leaned in.

"Jian Li: Why aren't you answering? Haven't replied yet!"

"Tell him you're discussing with your agent, the photo was for promotion!"

Huo Xiao's fingers tapped rapidly, trembling slightly from nervousness.

A few seconds later, another message arrived.

"Jian Li: Are promotional pictures really that bold?"

"Tell him if he doesn't like how bold I am, we won't promote it!"

Huo Xiao's cheeks turned red, and he obediently followed the instructions.

Sure enough, the other side fell for it.

"Jian Li: I have no right to object, you decide."

After replying, Jian Li threw his phone aside and buried his face in his hands, feeling frustrated.

"How could I lose my stance?"

"How can I regain my stance?"

"Anger!"

The next morning, Lu Yuanhang received a notice for an emergency meeting.

Having not attended a shareholders' meeting in a long time, he suddenly felt both nervous and excited,

Perhaps his persuasion of Lu Siqi to give him a real position of power

had actually worked?!

Lu Yuanhang clutched his hope tightly, trying on outfits in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror,

before finally choosing a high-end suit that had just been mailed from Paris.

As the meeting time approached, Lu Yuanhang stood at the door of his office, ready to push it open, but was stopped by the secretary's hand.

"Mr. Lu is still busy and no one is allowed to enter," the secretary said matter-of-factly.

Lu Yuanhang narrowed his eyes and tugged at the corner of his mouth, "A little power, and you think you can use it to the fullest?"

"Aren't you afraid I'll be the first to retaliate once I'm in a higher position?"

The secretary smiled politely, "Brother Yuanhang, I'm just following orders. Don't make things difficult for me."

"Besides, if I were really afraid, I wouldn't be standing here now, would I?"

"You—!" Lu Yuanhang's anger flared, "Don't get too cocky, or you'll regret it when you fall into my hands!"

"Don't worry, same old story," the secretary's smile widened, "If I were going to fall, I would have fallen already."

Lu Yuanhang nearly fainted with rage,

Why are there so many arrogant people lately?!

Did I do something wrong? Should I consult a master to break this curse?

As he raged internally, the office door opened from the inside, and Lu Siqi walked out expressionless.

"Brother, you should fire this secretary right away. He's acting like he has all the power in the world,"

"And that's just to me! Imagine what he'd do to other partners!"

"Are you done?" Lu Siqi's face darkened, "Go to the meeting quickly, I don't have time to waste on you."

With that, he strode towards the conference room.

Before chasing after him, Lu Yuanhang shot the secretary a glare, "Brother, wait for me!"

The secretary standing in place pursed his lips, "Wait for what?"

"Wait for us to die together?"

Pushing open the door to the meeting room, Lu Yuanhang was about to greet the board members when he noticed their grim faces.

Could it be that they're dissatisfied because we didn't outperform Huo Group this year?

He reined in his smile and took his designated seat.

Lu Siqi also moved to the head of the table, looking around before saying, "We can start now,"

"To save everyone's time, please get straight to the point of the meeting."

The chairman nodded, "Today's meeting is primarily to address the recent negative public opinion about Lu Group,"

"Given that this public opinion has caused irreparable damage to the group, we will hold the relevant parties accountable."

At this, Lu Yuanhang began to feel uneasy, his gaze pleadingly turning to Lu Siqi.

But the latter completely ignored him.

"The person in question, Mr. Lu Yuanhang," the chairman called out directly, "will be removed from the board, and all projects he has taken over or been involved in will be suspended. The relevant records and accounts will be transferred to the relevant departments for investigation and verification..."

"You have no right to do this!"

Lu Yuanhang jumped up, slamming his hand on the table, "Do you believe everything the public says?! How stupid are you?!"

"When I was bringing in profits and high dividends for the company, why didn't you fire me then?!"

"Why did you all fawn over me every day?!"

"Now, because of some negative impact, you want to kick me out?!"

"I'm telling you,"

"Dream on!"

Lu Yuanhang shouted until he was breathless, his demeanor wildly erratic,

The directors frowned, their expressions wary,

But a calm voice cut through the tension, "Lu Yuanhang, have you finished making a scene?"

"This isn't a market; you can't act as you please here!"

As Lu Yuanhang turned his head, he suddenly grinned, "Bro, I get it."

"Are you planning to sacrifice the pawn to save the king?!"
