Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan

Chapter 373 The White Moonlight in the Substitute Novel (Twenty-Three)

He Jing walked in through the cold light from the end of the long corridor.

The sharply tailored black suit hugged his tall, 192cm frame, with subtle patterns on the peaked lapel that shimmered like dormant python scales under the light.

"President He, please..." Zhang Guochao smiled obsequiously, following behind the tall and burly He Jing, looking every bit like a servile lackey.

He Jing walked very slowly, but the sound of his shiny handmade Oxford shoes striking the marble was as sharp as a knife, each step crushing the dust floating in the air.

Although He Jing's expression was as cold as ice, Tang Jiao noticed his gaze the moment he stepped into this place; it was an undeniable presence.

He Jing's gaze seemed to be drawn to Tang Jiao, never leaving her from beginning to end. His eyes were burning and intense, filled with possessiveness, as if Tang Jiao were his private property.

Tang Jiao enjoyed this aggressive gaze and became even more certain that He Jing had also been reborn! He must have come here specifically to assert his dominance and, incidentally, to support her.

Thinking of this, Tang Jiao felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

Although He Jing's love is domineering and suffocating, it is also passionate and generous.

As He Jing approached, Tang Jiao's eyes filled with tears, and she immediately put on a pitiful look, as if the person who had just thrown things and lost their temper was someone else entirely.

Upon seeing someone arrive, she immediately softened her voice and cried, "I am a newcomer, that's true, but you can't treat me like this by copying other people's makeup."

As soon as the cry landed, He Jing, who was only three meters away, suddenly stopped in his tracks as if frozen in place.

He squinted, scrutinizing Tang Jiao's face as if trying to memorize every detail.

After a long while, He Jing seemed to wake from a dream and realized that he had mistaken someone for someone else. A hint of embarrassment flashed across his face for a moment, but when his gaze swept over the mess on the ground, that embarrassment was immediately replaced by worry.

He Jing frowned deeply, turned to look at Ai Wen beside him, and asked in a serious tone, "What exactly is going on?"

Before Evan could respond, Tang Jiao started sobbing like a child, and at the same time, she complained to He Jing in a preemptive accusation: "It was him! Not only did he completely copy the makeup that Gu Xiaoxiao used before, but he also said that I was being unreasonable and told me to find another makeup artist and stop bothering him!"

Tang Jiao's crying was truly pitiful, like a pear blossom in the rain. As she sobbed, she spoke in a soft, weak tone, as if she were trying to charm He Jing and get him to give her special attention.

He Jing stared at the face that, after being carefully made up by Ai Wen, resembled Gu Xiaoxiao even more, and a strange feeling welled up in his heart. He seemed to see the person who should have been here, now coquettishly pouting at him.

However, He Jing knew very well that other women knew how to use their looks to please men and gain greater benefits. But what about that woman?

Thinking about the returned contract that Zhui Feng brought back this morning, He Jing felt both angry and amused.

He never expected that this con artist would have a conscience. Not only did she resolutely refuse his contract, but she also shamelessly told him that if he wanted to sign her, he would have to sign all the artists in her company.

Putting aside her lousy company, who else besides her could possibly make a name for themselves in the entertainment industry? It's simply a pipe dream!

Normally, He Jing would never have done such a losing business. However, this morning, while trying to catch Gu Xiaoxiao on his way out, he unexpectedly discovered something interesting.

Zhang Guochao, who treated him like an honored guest, seemed to be very adept at navigating social situations and was particularly skilled at providing emotional support. And look at the stuntwoman who bore a resemblance to Gu Xiaoxiao; she practically worshipped her behind-the-scenes boss!

He Jing secretly pondered, "Since that's the case, I might as well just acquire the company Gu Xiaoxiao works for. That way, Gu Xiaoxiao's original position in her previous company will naturally become her current position in his company."

In that case, wouldn't he naturally become Gu Xiaoxiao's direct superior? Then, let's see how she can avoid him!

Upon hearing Tang Jiao's tearful complaint, He Jing naturally "cooperated" by turning cold and said meaningfully to Zhang Guochao, "Mr. Zhang, come with me for a moment."

Watching He Jing walk away with his companion, Tang Jiao felt a surge of indescribable sweetness welling up inside her. Her gaze followed He Jing's figure intently until he disappeared from sight, before she slowly looked away.

At this moment, Tang Jiao noticed that Ai Wen was squatting there blankly, seemingly completely unaware of what had just happened. Tang Jiao couldn't help but snort coldly and said to Ai Wen, "Let's see how your CEO He deals with you later!"

Evan remained completely unmoved by Tang Jiao's sarcastic remarks. He didn't even bother to glance at her, simply squatting on the ground expressionlessly, carefully calculating his losses. He knew very well that when He Jing returned later, he would definitely instruct him to notify the legal department to seek compensation from the stunt double.

However, in stark contrast to Ai Wen's composure, Zhang Guochao was trembling with fear, as if walking on thin ice. He had always assumed that He Jing had discovered his decision to change the stunt double midway through the project, which was why He Jing had summoned him to his office. All the way there, Zhang Guochao silently prayed that He Jing wouldn't be too angry and would forgive his mistake.

When Zhang Guochao finally followed He Jing into the office, his heart pounded even harder, as if it were about to leap out of his throat. Before Zhang Guochao could muster the courage to admit his mistake, He Jing suddenly asked first, "How much?"

Zhang Guochao was stunned. He didn't understand what He Jing meant at all. After a long while, he stammered, "What... how much? Mr. He, are you asking about the stunt double's pay? It's definitely only a quarter of Gu Xiaoxiao's, it won't be too high."

He Jing was clearly not satisfied with Zhang Guochao's answer. He frowned and asked impatiently again, "I'm asking you how much your company is worth!"

This time, Zhang Guochao finally realized he might have misunderstood He Jing, but he was still completely confused, not knowing what He Jing wanted to ask. He looked at He Jing blankly and repeated, "President He, why are you asking me how much money the company has?"
