Elder Nangong's assistant carefully placed the news in front of the old man.
"What's this all about?" the old man asked after he read through the news.
"Hai Rui held an anniversary event for 'The Ant Queen' yesterday. They teamed up with theaters around the nation to hold a mysterious promotion and surprised everyone with the premier of 'The Ant Queen 2'."
"No one expected 'The Ant Queen 2' to be released in this way. Everyone felt that Hai Rui's method was very interesting and successful. Apparently, the ticket sales for 'The Ant Queen 2' has already hit the billions."
"I heard it's such a big hit that tickets are hard to come by now!" the assistant said as he glanced awkwardly at the old man.
After hearing what his assistant said, the old man stood up and walked over to Nangong Quan's office.
"Nangong Quan, you went back on your word!"
Nangong Quan was in the middle of talking to a few newcomers. Although he expected the old man to eventually come looking for him, he didn't expect it to happen so soon.
"You guys can go out first..."
After the artisst left, only Nangong Quan and his grandfather remained in the office. The old man's eyes burned with rage, ready to tear his grandson apart at any moment.
"If I was to tell you that I didn't say a word to the Mo Family, you probably wouldn't believe me, right?" Nangong Quan laughed. "But, Grandfather, that is the truth. I did not reveal anything to the Mo Family. Plus, I already told you ages ago that even if Mo Ting knew nothing, you would still be helpless around him."
"Do you expect me to believe you?" Elder Nangong refused to believe that Mo Ting and Tangning were this cautious. Of course, he preferred to believe that Nangong Quan had revealed his plan and they were teaming up to screw him over.
"It's up to you whether you believe me or not. But, if I had told Hai Rui about your plan, they wouldn't have waited so long to take action."
"Since you didn't keep your promise, then don't blame me for not sticking to our agreement. If something bad happens, you will just have to accept the consequences!"
After speaking, the old man stormed out of the office, leaving Nangong Quan with a helpless expression.
After all, he never expected that Mo Ting and Tangning would release 'The Ant Queen 2' without a word either. What could he do about it? Unfortunately, the old man refused to believe him...
But, this was how meticulous Tangning and Mo Ting was; how could anyone not admit defeat?
...
After leaving Nangong Quan's office, the old man contacted the Americans over the phone. No matter what, the Americans had to release their film by the end of the month, otherwise, there would be nothing to distract the Mo Couple while he executed his Christmas scheme.
The couple were certainly sneaky!
He was shocked that his grandson had gone through such lengths to notify the Mo Couple about his plan. But, this was because he refused to believe that Mo Ting and Tangning were so smart on their own.
'The Ant Queen 2' was a huge hit in the theaters, but this wasn't purely based on the event they held the previous night, but because fans had anticipated its release for a really long time. More importantly, Tangning delivered what she had promised because 'The Ant Queen 2' was of a high quality. In fact, now that they had changed their post production team, the visuals were actually more bold and unrestrained, making the film more exciting and thrilling.
Above all, the audience was ecstatic about the villain played by Mo Ting.
He had obviously never trained in martial arts, but his fight scenes with Senior Long were solid and very realistic.
The audience was thrilled by this.
