This was the first time that Tangning had come across such a confident person. It seemed Song Xin had exceeded her limits.
So, Tangning opened her arms and waited to see what was to come.
"I hate how you appear indifferent when you're actually ruthless on the inside."
"You're still young..."
Hearing this, Song Xin threw back her chair and left. Tangning had accurately read her mind. For Song Xin, there was nothing worse than having Tangning disregard her.
A moment later, Fang Yu approached and asked, "Is everything alright?"
"What did you expect her to do to me?" Tangning asked back.
"Well, you are pregnant after all..."
"Whether I'm pregnant or not, Song Xin has no chance of winning against me," Tangning said seriously. "In fact, I quite enjoy the way she underestimates me."
How high was Tangning's EQ? After an entire year of training, it had already reached a frightening level.
However, Song Xin was not an average opponent...
...
"What did Tangning say?" Duan Jinghong asked as she followed behind Song Xin.
"What else could she say? Of course she denied it!" Song Xin sneered. "I hate people that don't admit to what they've done. What complete rubbish!"
"What should we do following on then?" Duan Jinghong asked. "Now that we've confirmed that Tangning has done something behind-the-scenes and Hai Rui are suppressing you, what can we do?"
"There's plenty that we can do. It's not like I'm obligated to stay with Hai Rui. We have other options," Song Xin replied coldly. "Tangning's old. Looking at her expression today, it's obvious that she was pretending to be calm because she doesn't know how to compete against me. I can't wait to see how long she can keep it up."
This was Song Xin's interpretation of Tangning's expression. But, she had no idea that Tangning faced everyone with the same calmness. Tangning never revealed her temper.
But...she actually said that Tangning was old?
...
Compared to others, Song Xin was definitely a lot more calculative. At least, underneath her arrogance, she still knew how to judge a situation.
She knew that Tangning currently possessed the most resources in Hai Rui. If she wanted to stand out, she would need to show Tangning something that was beyond her expectations.
But, what could that be?
Perhaps she could pretend that other companies were also fighting for her.
With news of Hai Rui's suppression, plenty of agencies tried to offer her a way out. Especially the newly reestablished Cheng Tian. Apart from that, a few other film and television agencies also expressed their interest.
On one side, Song Xin was displaying her loyalty to Hai Rui. But, on the other side, she began to demonstrate to everyone that Hai Rui was losing its professionalism. She wanted everyone to know that Mo Ting suppressed his artists unreasonably to keep Tangning at the top; that he was treating contracts and professionalism as a joke.
But, she had no idea that Tangning had already played these tricks in the past without anyone knowing.
She wanted Hai Rui to be flustered. She wanted them to acknowledge her importance. But...after the commotion that she caused, Hai Rui did not give any response.
No, to be exact, it wasn't completely no response. At least, during one of his interviews, Fang Yu had said to the media, "Is Song Xin being suppressed? No one in Hai Rui knows of this."
"Then, have you heard that other agencies have sent her offers?"
"The agency hasn't been notified of this either."
Who was Fang Yu? He was Hai Rui's ex PR manager, after all. Would he not be able to get over such a small obstacle? Just a simple deflection was enough to easily dispel the media's doubts.
