Leng Yan immediately jumped up like he was a pig that had just been stabbed in the butt.
“F*ck!”
“There’s no use swearing. If Hongtu goes bankrupt, just wait to attend the wedding of your goddess.”
“Damn it! I’ll fight you if I have to. It’s just Xia Weibao right, not a monster! I don’t believe I won’t be able to support her rise to fame!”
“I’m glad you finally came to this realisation.” Now that he had finally persuaded him, Director Xu was relieved.
“But the finalists of “Dancing Into The Future” have all passed the preliminary rounds. It’ll be impossible to simply slot Xia Weibao in like that.”
Leng Yan was distressed.
“I’ve already thought about this. We can have her participate in the finals as a challenger.”
A challenger?
Leng Yan’s eyes twinkled as he slapped his dense brain.
That’s right. How had he not thought of this?
In the name of adding an entertainment factor, numerous shows had adopted the style of inviting challengers.
That was to find those particularly skilled to participate mid-way through the programme and challenge the participants.
If they were to win, then the challenger would replace the participant and continue on in the competition.
This not only pressured the participants, but it also added an appeal to the show.
“No, no. Challengers must have skills to show. Xia Weibao can’t even dance. Besides, “Dancing Into The Future” has never had any challenger segments.”
Xia Weibao debuted as a singer and later became an actress. She had never danced.
“No, she does know how to dance.”
The mention of dance made Xu Jiayang recall Xia Weibao’s dance. His heart was still reeling from the shock.
“Leng Yan, Xia Weibao has too many hidden talents. She can not only dance, she also dances beautifully!
What she lacks now is an opportunity. An opportunity to showcase herself.
Haven’t you noticed that she has been in the news every day these days, but in reality, she has never appeared in public? The public doesn’t even understand the Xia Weibao of today!
He believed that she would definitely be able to prove her worth and rise up to the top — if only she was given a chance.
“But, “Dancing Into The Future” doesn’t even have a challenger segment. And with that classical dance goddess Lin Mier who is the hot favorite for the championship, how could Xia Weibao possibly win?”
Xu Jiayang: “…”
Lin Mier and Xia Weibao?
He did not want to say anything. He would see for himself.
“There’s nothing that money can’t solve…”
“We don’t have money.” Leng Yan was hard pressed. “All the money that Hongtu mortgaged has been invested into the filming of “Fallen City”. We don’t have any more money to bribe the producers.”
Xu Jiayang remained silent for a moment before saying, “Sell your car.”
“What?!!” Leng Yan jumped up abruptly once again. “Xu Jiayang, are you still a human? After taking my company, now you want to take my car as well?”
“These are all temporary. When Xia Weibao becomes popular, you’ll be able to earn everything back. You’ve already invested so much on Xia Weibao. We’re just lacking that tiny final step. Sell your car and riches will be yours! If you don’t, you’ll be left with nothing. The decision is yours.”
Leng Yan was in a dilemma…
He could not deny that those words made sense to him.
Yet, there was a niggling feeling that something was wrong. This good friend of his was fond of cheating him. He had to be careful this time.
Just as he was about to say that he would consider the proposition, the doorbell rang.
Leng Yan immediately responded tactfully, “I have a guest. Let’s talk about this tomorrow.”
Then he hung up and opened the door with a huge sigh of relief.
Only to find that…
Xu Jiayang was standing at the door with a middle-aged man.
“I brought someone to look at the car. He has seen your car before and he’s really satisfied with it.”
