Only after being reborn did I realize how fascinating the world of the rich is.

After some time, President Song found Li Xiaofeng and asked with some displeasure, "President Li, you're really not being fair. I've never seen anyone do things like this."

"It's one thing if you don't even offer a token gesture, but I've allocated you two billion yuan in loans. Even if Secretary Li's influence is involved, you can't just refuse to give me any face at all!"

"President Song, what makes you say that? How did I not give you face?"

"Are you playing dumb with me? I only asked you to do such a small thing as Zheng Xiaojuan for me, and you still kicked her out?"

"President Song, what do you mean I kicked her out? She left on her own! As soon as she arrived here, I arranged for people to give her some basic training, and the agency also designed several debut plans for her."

But she felt that my temple was too small to accommodate such a great bodhisattva, and insisted on leaving. What could I do? I couldn't just tie her up and force her into the film industry!

To be honest, all the artists under our company have to sign contracts. All the training and initial investment the company makes will be deducted from the artists' salaries in the future.

"For your sake, I didn't sign a contract with her, nor did I ask her for training fees or the company's next packaging costs. Why are you blaming me for this?"

After listening to Li Xiaofeng's long string of complaints, Bank Manager Song was clearly stunned and said with some doubt, "That's not what Zheng Xiaojuan said!"

"But you can't just believe her side of the story!"

"Didn't she always want to be a star? Why did she leave your film company? Is there some misunderstanding?"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said in a calm tone, "President Song, Zheng Xiaojuan's so-called desire to become a star is not really about pursuing a career in the film and television industry. She just wants to make a lot of money easily and be adored by thousands of people."

In fact, becoming a film and television star is not an easy path. In addition to working hard to hone one's acting skills, one also needs to have other talents so that one's future path can be wider.

But she didn't want to endure hardship, and she felt there was a better shortcut than becoming a star, so she left me.

"What's a better shortcut?"

"What better shortcut could a woman take? Of course, it's selling herself for a good price. I heard that she teamed up with Wei Jianjun a while ago to hook up with rich guys. She actually managed to hook up with Le Jiahao, the young master of the Le family, using a honey trap."

Bank Manager Song's face was grim, but he still asked with some doubt, "Is there really such a thing?"

"Of course there was. Fortunately, Zheng Xiaojuan wasn't very familiar with the tricks of honey traps. She thought she had it all figured out, but the Le family turned the tables on her."

"It's only because of your reputation, Director Song and Secretary Zheng, that they haven't dared to retaliate against Zheng Xiaojuan. Otherwise, Zheng Xiaojuan would already be working at a sewing machine, and one act of blackmail would be enough to give her a hard time, at least ten years."

"Why is Secretary Zheng here? She has absolutely no relation to Secretary Zheng!"

"But that's not what she said herself. One minute she says she's Secretary Zheng's illegitimate daughter, the next she says she's Secretary Zheng's mistress, and she even says she has some unclear relationship with you, President Song. Nobody knows anything about her!"

At this point, Li Xiaofeng, with a mocking smile, asked in a low voice, "President Song, is it possible that Zheng Xiaojuan and you actually have some kind of relationship beyond friendship?"

"How could that be? I'm just one of her elders. She's the daughter of a distant relative of mine, a very distant relationship, beyond the fifth degree of kinship!" Director Song quickly explained to himself.

Seeing Li Xiaofeng's meaningful smile, President Song continued somewhat helplessly, "It's true. She only has a slight connection with me, but she has absolutely no connection with Secretary Zheng!"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "President Song, what's the use of you explaining to me? She didn't just tell me these things. If she had only told me, I would have kept it to myself."

"Sigh, this girl is really a handful. The other day she came to me crying and complaining that you were deliberately making things difficult for her and that you had no intention of making her a star. She even demanded that I find her some kind of project."

I work in banking, what projects could I possibly have on hand? That's nonsense!

"Mr. Li, could you arrange something for her again? She's a bit difficult, but her looks are definitely not a problem for pursuing a career in film and television!"

"President Song, it's not that I don't want to make arrangements. If she's willing to come, I definitely will. The key is that this industry isn't as easy as ordinary people imagine. Can she calm down and steadily make progress?"

If it doesn't work, it's a waste of her time and ours; it's not good for anyone.

"But she...sigh!!!" Bank Manager Song sighed heavily, his face full of worry.

Li Xiaofeng looked very curious and asked with a puzzled expression, "President Song, what kind of project did Zheng Xiaojuan ask you for? Is it something she does herself or something else?"

"She didn't say anything specific, but I guess it's a money-making project. As for the actual work, she can't do it; someone else will definitely do it!"

"President Song, what's your relationship with this Zheng Xiaojuan? You're not being manipulated by a little girl, are you?"

"President Li, what do you mean by that?" President Song raised his head, his face full of vigilance.

"President Song, please don't misunderstand. I didn't mean to pry into your privacy. I'm just curious. Judging from Zheng Xiaojuan's appearance, she doesn't seem to have any great abilities. Why is she suddenly asking you what projects you need? Could it be that someone is behind this?"

"Is someone behind this? Who ordered her?"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said in a calm tone, "President Song, I just wanted to remind you. As for who instructed them, you can investigate yourself!"

A girl like Zheng Xiaojuan is bound to be forgetful and disorganized. It would be easy for you to find out who she's been hanging out with lately.

"Thank you for reminding me, I understand!" Bank Manager Song nodded slightly, speaking in a very official tone, as if a subordinate were earnestly reporting to a superior.

Li Xiaofeng's real purpose in saying these words to President Song was not to do what was best for President Song, but to shift the conflict to Wei Jianjun.

He had already received the news that ever since Zheng Xiaojuan was completely dumped by Le Jiahao, she and Wei Jianjun had become very close.

It's far less likely that hearing it from him will lead President Song to investigate himself and make him suspect some conspiracy between the two.

These people within the system have intricate and deeply entrenched networks of connections. Even if they appear to be manipulated on the surface, it is still very easy for them to sabotage someone behind their back.
