106 THESE TWO HAVE AN UNUSUAL CONNECTION
"President Mo, did something happen?" Lu Che guessed after seeing the expression on Mo Ting''s
face.
"The people at Creative Century have taken Long Jie and are forcing Tangning to have dinner with
them. It seems they are going to pressure her into signing a contract."
"But, Creative Century has been operating legally in recent years, it doesn''t seem like they would
result to such despicable methods," Lu Che was worried as he thought about how Creative Century
used to be: they had once force-fed drugs into the mouth of a female celebrity, causing her to
commit suicide - the incident went viral back in the days. After the incident, thepany swapped
out their boss and turned over a new leaf, no longer partaking in illegal activities. Yet, how could
they be so brave as to pressure Tangning?
"The root of evil has already been nted deep within their bones!"
"Should I take some men with me to retrieve madam?" Lu Che suggested.
"You don''t need to go...I will go myself." After speaking, Mo Ting stood up from his office chair,
picked up his car keys and left the building. It''s not that Tangning wasn''t aware of Creative Century''s
past, but, so many years had already passed. Hadn''t they already turned over a new leaf and seen
great sess as a result? Why were they suddenly using such despicable methods against her?
Tangning rushed to the restaurant with mixed feelings; preparing herself emotionally as she
approached. Back when she was in France, she had once witnessed a fit model being force-fed
drugs in a hotel until she died - all because she had gotten on the bad side of a big boss.
The industry had too many bitter stories; unlike the morous image that was portrayed to the
public.
Tangning collected her thoughts and reminded herself to remain calm; she wasn''t alone, she had
Mo Ting.
Half an hourter, Tangning arrived at her destination, but she didn''t enter immediately. She instead
waited quietly in her car. She had just sent Mo Ting her address not too long ago, so she decided to
wait for the bodyguards to arrive before she entered to look for Long Jie.
10 minutester, the bodyguards had not yet arrived, but the people at Creative Century had called
to rush her. Tangning put down her phone - ready to make a move - but amongst the darkness, a
long arm stretched out to hold her back.
This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.
Tangning turned around cautiously. Realizing it was Mo Ting''s arm, she let out a sigh of relief, "Why
are you here?"
"Let''s go in first," Mo Ting ced his arm over her shoulder and hurried her into the restaurant. He
bypassed all the staff and headed straight for the VIP room.
The people at Creative Century would never imagine Mo Ting would make an appearance with
Tangning.
The entire incident stemmed from the reporter, Lu Xiaoqian; he was the godson of Creative
Century''s CEO. After suffering a big loss today, he, of course, had to find a way to fight back. As for
Creative Century, after being rejected by Tangning so many times, they had long held a grudge
against her. After finding out his godson had suffered a loss because of Tangning, the president
swiftly put together today''s scene to scare this measly model. However, he never expected, Hai
Rui''s CEO, Mo Ting, would be apanying her.
Sitting at the luxurious crystal table was Lu Xiaoqian and the CEO of Creative Century; a man
known as Father Five. Mo Ting arrived with Tangning and sat opposite the two men as he red at
them.
Regardless of whether Father Five had been frightened by this sight, Lu Xiaoqian...
...was trembling...
He thought he was seeing things. How was it possible that Mo Ting was helping Tangning solve this
problem? Who was she? How did she manage to do this? "I didn''t expect that by inviting Miss Tang
I would be able to meet with President Mo from Hai Rui, please excuse me for noting out to
greet you." Father Five was a 40-something-year-old man; he was lean and full of energy. His
piercing eyes swept across Mo Ting and Tangning, "I think there must have been a
misunderstanding here. If I had known Miss Tang was somehow connected to President Mo, I
would not have done something so reckless no matter how brave I was. Please excuse me
President Mo."
"No wonder Miss Tang has managed to get out of so many sticky situations, it''s because she has
President Mo supporting her..."
Mo Ting looked at the man; this man was well known for being a veteran in the industry and
extremely two-faced. Even so, he knew to show respect in front of Mo Ting.
Tangning, who had remained quiet the entire time, nced at Lu Xiaoqian and realized, she had not
been careful enough; all this was because of this man that she had offended.
Mo Ting did not speak. He simply lifted his chin and brushed his hand through Tangning''s hair. After
a little while, he finally spoke, "I''ve only known Tangning for 2 months. In private, our rtionship
has been very good, but we have never crossed paths professionally. She does not need my
support, so I have not felt the need to say anything in public."
"This little model is quite interesting; she doesn''t want to depend on anyone to help her advance, so
I have not helped her in any way. But, that doesn''t mean, I will allow anyone to step all over her,"
while speaking, an icy cold aura swept across Mo Ting''s eyes. It wasn''t just a simple warning.
"So, I hope this will be thest time. What do you say, Father Five?" Mo Ting red at the two; the
powerful aura in his eyes forced them to retreat. "I have no control over how you treat other people,
but...I won''t allow you to treat her like this."
Father Five''s heart skipped a beat as he quickly revealed a defeated smile, "Of course, it''s my fault
for not realizing Tangning''s importance. If I had known Tangning was President Mo''s friend, I
definitely would not have done something so silly."
"I hope you remember what you have said today."
"Xiaoqian, hurry and bring Miss Long out."
Lu Xiaoqian was terrified, he was worried Tangning and Mo Ting would mention how he had tried to
ckmail Tangning. If he thought about it carefully, it was possible...
...the person helping Tangning to make decisions behind the scenes, was Mo Ting.
Lu Xiaoqian''s back was suddenly covered in a cold sweat. If he had known earlier that Tangning
and Mo Ting were so well acquainted with each other, even in a million lifetimes, he wouldn''t dare
defame Tangning.
Afterwards, Long Jie was escorted out of the waiting room. In reality, she wasn''t hurt at all, because
no matter how crazy Creative Century were, they would never go back to how they used to be.
"Also, Tangning and I are well acquainted, but I don''t want anyone finding out. If..."
"Don''t worry President Mo, no one will find out about this," Father Five had a smile on his face the
entire time. He knew Mo Ting was more ruthless than he appeared right now, especially when he
was working; he didn''t want to risk losing Creative Century.
"Regarding Tangning''s management contract, she won''t be signing on with Creative Century, so
don''t waste your time."
"Of course," Father Five''s expression was one of ttery. He smiled at Tangning, "Miss Tang, I''m
sorry for causing you so much trouble."
Tangning looked at Long Jie without responding to Father Five.
Seeing Tangning had no response, Mo Ting didn''t want to waste any more time. So he stood up and
led the two out of the restaurant.
Father Five watched as the trio left, "These two have an unusual connection. If they are close, why
hasn''t Mo Ting signed her on with Hai Rui? But if they aren''t, how did she manage to get him to
make an appearance?"
"Apart from this time, be careful from now on. Compensate Yang Jing a little and try to stay out of
defaming Tangning..."
"Could it be, Mo Ting is actually Tangning''s advisor?''
