Whether it was four million or eight million, it was a relatively large sum of money for Bai Ling.
Bai Ling was just a newbie who had just debuted not long ago. Although it was true that her stardom was bright, most of the money she had earned before had been used to buy a house for her family to improve their living conditions. There really wasn't much left in her hand, but she did have eight million.
However, Bai Ling wasn't sure at all whether spending this money would really help her solve the trouble.
On the other end of the phone, Zhang Hang said disdainfully, "Miss Bai Ling, what else are you considering? Don't think we don't know that your current acting salary is extremely high. Such a small amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for you. Is it really necessary to think about it?"
"Of course. How do I know if you'll take my money but not do as you promised?" Bai Ling responded to Zhang Hang.
"Miss Bai Ling, you can rest assured on this matter. What we do in this line of work is already very immoral. If we do something even more despicable, we won't be blessing our descendants. We'll do what we say. This is the most basic. Only by having an honest deal can we have a future," Zhang Hang explained on the phone.
"Whether it's four million or eight million, it's a bit too much for me. Well, give me some time to think. I won't waste much time. Just tonight. I'll give you an answer tonight. How about that?" Bai Ling said. She needed some time to consider, so she asked to make a decision tonight.
However, all of this was within Lao Sun's calculations. He had already checked Bai Ling's account and knew that there wasn't much more than eight million in it. So he anticipated that Bai Ling would need to think about it.
Zhang Hang couldn't help but exclaim that his godfather was truly brilliant in foreseeing things. Then he continued as planned, "Okay, we'll give you time to think."
"If we don't receive your answer by tonight, then there's no need for us to contact each other anymore. You, Mr. Ju Zisheng, and your company should all take care of yourselves. How about that?"
"Okay, it'll be tonight. I'll contact you then. Before that, you'd better not act rashly. Otherwise, I won't let you off even if I become a ghost!"
"No problem. You can rest assured. If we dare to act recklessly, may we be struck by lightning and die a horrible death. That's it. I'll hang up first." After saying that, Zhang Hang hung up the phone.
This was the first time Bai Ling felt so helpless.
At this moment, she seemed like a defeated and isolated soldier. There were problems in her relationship, problems were about to arise in her career, and now there were also problems in her finances.
Finally, she couldn't bear it any longer. After hanging up the phone, her tears gushed out. She lay on the table and sobbed loudly.
It was very likely that she had to spend this money.
Let's put Bai Ling aside for now. Ju Zisheng wasn't doing much better either.
Now everyone in the company was looking for Ju Zisheng. The reason was simple. After he had an argument and broke up with Bai Ling, he disappeared. His assistant and everyone in the company were looking for him but couldn't find him. His phone was out of reach, and no one knew where he had gone.
From the surveillance footage, it could be seen that he staggered out alone. But where he went after that, no one knew, and no one could find him.
A while later, the assistant received a message from Ju Zisheng, which said, "I'm tired. Let's stop here today. Suspend the work."
After receiving the message, the assistant quickly called back, but found that the phone was turned off. No one responded to her.
The assistant was very helpless and had to cancel today's activities and arrange them later.
After Ju Zisheng came out alone, he wandered around on the street.
Breaking up, seemingly just two simple words, but once said, it seemed like a huge boulder pressing on one's chest, making it a bit hard to breathe.
Obviously, this boulder was now pressing on Ju Zisheng. He really couldn't imagine how he should view this matter. Now his mind was completely blank, and he felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness.
Suddenly, he thought of someone, Mu Junze.
He and Meng Nianchu would definitely help him solve this trouble. So he took a taxi and headed towards Mu Junze's company for a sudden visit.
At this time, Mu Junze had just finished a meeting and was sitting in his office, preparing for other things in the afternoon. Meng Nianchu was also sitting in her own office, casually flipping through some documents.
Since she got pregnant, her work had become much easier. No one dared to assign her any heavy tasks anymore. Now she was just bored every day, watching dramas and browsing the news to pass the time.
She heard that Mu Junze's meeting was over, so she came to his office to make him a cup of coffee and give him a massage.
Mu Junze enjoyed it very much. While enjoying it, he was still admonishing Meng Nianchu, "Don't do this. You're pregnant. Just let the assistant do it. Otherwise, why do I spend so much money on them? To watch the two of us show our affection?"
Mu Junze had a very strong air of a CEO. He let others do everything for him, except that he doted on Meng Nianchu.
"It's okay. I just want to serve you. Others don't have this chance."
"What? Do you still want to serve others?" Mu Junze said with a hint of jealousy.
Meng Nianchu rolled her eyes. "Humph, I'm too lazy to serve others."
"I knew you wouldn't dare."
The two were just flirting like this when suddenly the assistant knocked on the door and walked in. Seeing this scene, the assistant felt a bit embarrassed. She lowered her head and said, "Sorry, Mr. Mu. I've disturbed you and the CEO's wife."
"Since you know you've disturbed us, hurry up and finish what you have to say and get out," Mu Junze said sternly.
"Yes, yes, yes. Okay, Mr. Mu. Um... Mr. Ju Zisheng is here to see you."
"What?!" Mu Junze was shocked when he heard that Ju Zisheng had come. Why did he come?
He thought to himself that Ju Zisheng wasn't such a person. He would always inform others in advance when doing anything. He wouldn't pay a sudden visit.
Based on their friendship over the years, he knew that Ju Zisheng thought that would be impolite. Now that he came suddenly, it meant that something urgent must have happened.
"Ask him to come in," Mu Junze said to the assistant.
"Okay, Mr. President. Please wait a moment. I'll go and tell him now."
"Okay."
The two were whispering in the room, wondering if something had happened to him. Just then, Ju Zisheng just pushed the door and walked in.
"Hey, why did you come? What happened?"
Mu Junze stood up and was about to greet him when Ju Zisheng said expressionlessly, "Bai Ling broke up with me."
"Ah?!" Both of them were shocked when they heard this.
