Free Web NovelChapter 636: If You Don’t Work Hard, You’ll Have to Go Back and Inherit the Family Business, Chi Yu
When Cheng Song walked out of the office, he looked like his soul had been sucked out of him, the despair on his face overshadowing his frustration. He looked ruined.
Yes, ruined.
A hypothesis, the most unlikely hypothesis, and he never expected it to turn out to be true in the end?
Chi Yu has backing!
And not just backing, serious backing!!!
Cheng Song’s face was shrouded in gloom. When he pushed the door open and came in, he saw Xiao Kai happily playing games, completely immersed and excited, totally unaware that he was about to be in deep shit!
What now?
The public opinion they’d stirred up by buying bots and hiring marketing accounts to spread rumors about Chi Yu was already irreversible. If he took Xiao Kai to apologize to Chi Yu now, would it still be in time?
After all... once Chi Yu struck first, found out it was his side pulling strings behind the scenes, and let the online frenzy snowball out of control, his own career would basically be over.
Cheng Song quickly snapped back to his senses.
He walked in and looked at Xiao Kai, who was sitting in his boss chair playing games.
Xiao Kai’s posture felt familiar to him: both legs propped up and crossed on the desk, headphones on so he didn’t hear the door, too absorbed in the game to notice him coming in. Usually Xiao Kai would sit in his chair whenever he felt like it, and normally it wasn’t a big deal, but right now, seeing Xiao Kai in his seat, in the exact same pose he’d just seen in Xu Wei’s office, made Cheng Song’s temper surge up and down; he just couldn’t calm down.
There was a sharp "bang."
Cheng Song grabbed a book from the shelf beside him and slammed it hard onto the desk.
The crack rang out especially loud and crisp.
It scared the hell out of Xiao Kai.
His body jerked, and he almost dropped the phone in his hands. freewebnovel.cσ๓
He had been completely immersed in the game, didn’t even realize there was someone else in the office. After being scared, he looked up and saw that it was his agent, Cheng Song, who’d come back.
Back is back.
And also...
Xiao Kai didn’t immediately put his legs down. He stared blankly at Cheng Song standing outside the desk, a bit annoyed in his tone as he said, "What’s wrong, Brother Song, what’s got you so pissed off?!"
Cheng Song’s gaze was icy as he stared at Xiao Kai and said, "Your feet. Put them down."
Only then did Xiao Kai realize he’d overstepped. Sitting in Cheng Song’s boss chair was one thing, but that posture, being seen like that, was indeed inappropriate.
So he obediently put his feet down, then stood up and moved aside.
"Brother Song, what’s wrong? Weren’t you going to find out why Chi Yu came back to the company? Did you find out anything?"
Compared to the dark cloud over Cheng Song’s face, Xiao Kai’s mouth and brows were all smiling, and even his tone was light, showing just how great his mood was. Good things had been happening one after another lately, of course he was happy, plus he’d just won two games in a row—this was pretty much the peak of life.
Cheng Song shot Xiao Kai a gloomy glance. "You’re coming with me to see Chi Yu. Right now."
"See Chi Yu? What for?" After coming around from the desk, Xiao Kai went off to the side.
He was still in the middle of a game; he’d started this round five minutes before Cheng Song came in. Hearing that, he couldn’t help but look up at Cheng Song’s expression. It looked even worse than before.
So... who pissed Brother Song off?
As he was thinking that, he heard Cheng Song’s voice: "We’re going to see Chi Yu so you can apologize to him. If he lets this go, not forcing you to quit the industry will already be the biggest favor he can do you. If he decides to pursue this, you can forget about the rest of your life going smoothly."
As those words fell—
Both of Xiao Kai’s hands froze around his phone.
He jerked his head up to look at Cheng Song, and he was so shocked that his voice cracked the moment he spoke: "—What did you just say?"
Face cold, voice heavy, Cheng Song repeated what he’d just said: "I said, you’re coming with me right now to see Chi Yu and apologize to his face. Ask for his forgiveness, or your acting career ends here."
"Brother Song, did someone put a curse on you or something?"
Hearing that, Xiao Kai’s first reaction was: someone put a curse on Cheng Song?
Otherwise why would he say he should go apologize to Chi Yu?
Go apologize to Chi Yu—like hell he would!!
Even if he was backed into a corner, he would never go apologize to Chi Yu.
Besides, isn’t Chi Yu already finished? Apologize for what!!
"I’m cursed?" Cheng Song let out a few cold laughs, the sound a bit sinister. "Hearing you say that actually makes me feel like having a curse on me would be better than the situation we’re in now."
