Mo Ting stretched out his hand and stroked Tangning's ink black hair, "This is a given."
Actually, the thing that Tangning admired the most about Mo Ting was his ability to draw a fine line between love and hate. When someone was right, they were right; when someone was wrong, they were wrong. He was firm on his decisions and never beat around the bush; he was always clear-cut.
That's why she was suited to the entertainment industry.
She was suited to the life of accompanying Mo Ting in this unstable industry. And all he wanted to do was to present her with glory.
After returning to the hotel, Tangning sat by Mo Ting's side as she kept him company while he read through his documents. Mo Ting turned his head to look at Tangning's semi-closed eyes and laughed, "You have an interview with Claude.N tomorrow. Hurry and get some rest..."
"I want to hug you to sleep," Tangning replied with a raspy voice.
Mo Ting glanced at the documents in front of him before helping Tangning up and leading her to the bed. After sitting down on the bed, he patted his chest, "Come here..."
Tangning flipped aside the blankets and lay beside Mo Ting as she wrapped her arms around his waist.
Mo Ting embraced her with one arm and read through his documents with the other. However, after reading one page, he realized he had no way of flipping to the next...
Tangning held his arm tightly in place; it seemed she was doing it on purpose...
Mo Ting understood her intention and put down his documents before giving Lu Che a phone call.
"President, Director Ceng has come looking for me quite a few times. He wants to invest in 'Stupid' on behalf of BaiyouFilm and Television. But, from what I see, this is his son, J-King's idea."
"We already have sufficient funds for 'Stupid'. If he comes looking for you again, you can directly turn him away..." Mo Ting replied in a deepened voice.
"But, he is a shareholder of Hai Rui. Plus, he has already given 3.2% of the shares to his son, J-King. It appears J-King wants to get involved in Hai Rui's operations. I can't guarantee that he won't make a move again in future."
"Perhaps my recent actions have made them think I've been blinded by love and that their opportunity has come."
"President, I am merely reporting this incident to you. It is not enough to make you worry," Lu Che immediately explained.
"Keep an eye on their every move..."
After speaking, Mo Ting hung up his phone and placed it gently on top of the bedside table.
Hugging Tangning, he lay back down. In the darkness, his eyes fired up; there always had to be a few greedy people that wanted control over Hai Rui's operations.
Did they think just because he was Tangning's manager, he wouldn't be able to manage Hai Rui?
Were they questioning his capability?
...
7pm in France; 8am in Beijing.
This was the first night Huo Jingjing officially moved into Fang Yu's home. Of course, nothing happened; she slept in the guest room.
Huo Jingjing woke up early in the morning before she heard Fang Yu's bedroom door open not long after. She spotted Fang Yu wearing a pair of boxers as he entered the kitchen.
Fang Yu was a little surprised; he never expected Huo Jingjing to wake up so early. He immediately ran back into his room and put on a robe before reappearing in front of her.
"Why did you wake up so early?"
"I have an interview today and may need to go overseas in a couple days," Huo Jingjing explained, "Plus, it is almost January. So, for the sake of Fashion Week in March, I may need to remain overseas for quite some time."
Fang Yu nodded his head, but his face did not show much emotion, "I won't be able to go overseas. There are quite a few matters to deal with at Hai Rui."
"I don't need you to accompany me the way that President Mo accompanies Tangning. I just..." after a short pause, Huo Jingjing continued, "If I am to be gone for 3 months, will I return to find that you have become someone else's boyfriend? Or perhaps, will another female artist like Zhen Manni appear, requiring your protection?"
