Late into the night, Mo Ting was still sitting in the study room. Lu Che acted faster than expected, in just 5 hours he managed to find out the exact location of Xia Jingyi's brother. It turned out, he and his friend had lost their phones and couldn't remember their families' phone numbers, so had lost contact for a while.
He was currently safe.
After receiving this news, Xia Jingyi let out a sigh of relief. Her and Tang Jingxuan were still inside the practice room. Inside the dimly lit room, they looked at each other and smiled.
"President Mo sure is amazing. He was able to see what was actually going on straight away," Xia Jingyi praised.
"Of course. Did you think an average person could marry my sister?" Tang Jingxuan smiled as he held onto his guitar. "Since your brother is fine, let's sit back and see how this Chairman Zhou will end up."
Xia Jingyi smiled and nodded her head.
"Come, since I'm still fairly awake, help me play some accompanying music."
"OK," Xia Jingyi agreed as she walked over to the piano and sat down...
...
The next morning, inside the CEO's office, Mo Ting successfully looked through the information left on his desk about Chairman Zhou.
"Chairman Zhou was a troublemaker when he was young and always acted arrogantly. But, he has one weakness."
"He's not afraid of anyone or anything, except for one man called Father Li. Sources say that this was the man that helped him get to where he is today, so he's extremely fearful of him."
Lu Che stood beside Mo Ting and talked him through all the information he had found so he could save some time.
"Although Chairman Zhou isn't a good person, Father Li has a very good reputation and is known as an honest and righteous person. The only issue is, he doesn't leave the house often these days."
Mo Ting flipped open the information on Father Li and looked at the photo attached. He then placed the information aside and instructed Lu Che, "Help me arrange a meeting with this Father Li..."
"I've already made contact, we should get a response by midday," Lu Che replied with respect.
He had already forgotten how many times he and Mo Ting dealt with similar issues.
"Also invite Chairman Zhou..." Mo Ting instructed coldly, "...and prepare for negotiations..."
After their brief chat, Mo Ting placed the information aside and returned to dealing with Hai Rui's other matters.
"Tomorrow is the third pre-screening for 'Stupid'. I have already invited the last category of people to go watch it..."
This time, Mo Ting did not need to say anything. Lu Che already knew, the remaining category of people were famous news reporters, entertainment reporters and influential people in news.
His motive was simple. The next time anyone from 'Devil Shooter' dared to say that Tangning's acting wasn't as good as their cast members', the reporters would know better.
Needless to say, managing a film was indeed difficult.
...
Midday. Lu Che received notification that Father Li had agreed to meet for dinner that very night.
To prevent Tangning from getting worried, Mo Ting did not tell her he was going out for negotiations, he simply told her he'd be home late.
Tangning immediately knew something wasn't right, so she secretly gave Lu Che a phone call to confirm her suspicions. In the end, she decided to personally drive over and pick her husband up after the meeting.
7pm. Inside a high-class country club.
Father Li and Mo Ting had already met and greeted each other. Father Li was well aware of the reason for the meeting, so he suggested beside the pool, "Young man, care for a competition? Let's see if you can beat this old bag of bones."
Mo Ting knew of this man's background, so he nodded his head, "It would be my pleasure."
