When Mike pressed him with questions, Charlie smirked and retorted, “I’m talking about you, obviously it’s you. So why even ask? Is that paste in your head?”
Yang Tian Tian instantly erupted in anger, transforming from his usual gentle demeanor as he snarled through clenched teeth, “You, the assistant to the chairman of a shippingpany, have the audacity to speak to me like that? Do you even realize my status on Hong Kong Ind?!”
Charlie merely chuckled coldly, “I’m aware of who you are; I see your face on the news regrly. Frankly, I don’t care about your background. I just want to know if you forced her to dress this way. So, what’s the answer?”<fn6b45> Discover more novels at findnovel</fn6b45>
With gritted teeth, Mike shot back, “Damn it! Any artist signed under mypany is like my dog! She has to wear what I say and do whatever Imand. Who do you think you are to question me?!”
Charlie smiled, brushing Mike off, and turned to Liu Jiahui, asking, “Mr. Liu, are all your friends this arrogant?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Liu Jiahui trembled in fear, quickly addressing Mike, “Mike, what are you saying? You need to apologize to Mr. Wade!”
Mike was taken aback, pointing at himself in disbelief. “You want me to apologize to him after he insults me?! Lau Ka Fai, I might not be as wealthy as you, but socially, I’m not far behind on Hong Kong Ind! You’re trying to curry favor with this kid at my expense? I don’t earn a dime from him, so why should I tolerate this?!”
Liu Jiahui was at a loss for words, his expression filled with anxiety. He couldn’t reveal Charlie’s true background, and because of that, Yang Tian’s resentment only grew.
Just as Liu Jiahui was struggling to find the right words, Mike turned his ire towards Charlie, yelling, “Hey kid, don’t you know who I am? On Hong Kong Ind, I’m known as the godfather of the entertainment industry! Who dares to disrespect me?! Even Aaron would have to call me Mr. Mike! You little assistant, yelling at me in front of my artist—if you don’t kneel and apologize today, I will make you regret it!”
Liu Jiahui felt his legs weaken in fear and quickly moved several meters away from Mike, pointing at him as he said to Charlie, “Mr. Wade… I’m not really close with him…”
Mike, incensed by Liu Jiahui’s submissive demeanor, barked, “Liu Jiahui, we’ve been friends for thirty years! And now you im you’re not familiar with me?! You have so many contacts in the entertainment industry, and now you want to avoid offending this little assistant? You actually dare to say you don’t know me well!”
As he spoke, Mike trembled with rage, pointing at Liu Jiahui and stating, “You, Lau Ka Fai, are also quite wealthy on Hong Kong Ind. Don’t you feel ashamed to bow down like this?!”
Liu Jiahui looked at Mike’s furious expression and cursed inwardly, “Mike, you old fool, don’t drag me into your self-destruction! I need to handle this. I can’t afford to have this uncle waiting while you’re causing more trouble for me!”
With a stern face, he replied, “Listen, I’ve never bowed down for mere money. I bow for the thing around my neck—if you trust me, hurry up and apologize to Mr. Wade and seek his forgiveness, or I genuinely can’t help you!”
Mike shot back coldly, “What a joke! I’ve been on Hong Kong Ind for decades. There’s no way I’m apologizing to an outsider! He should apologize to me for his disrespect!”
After making that deration, he pulled out his phone, a sinister look on his face. “I’m calling Mr. Zyaire right now! If this kid doesn’t kneel and apologize to me today, I, Mike, will have wasted all my years on Hong Kong Ind!”
Upon hearing Mike mention Zyaire, Liu Jiahui instinctively covered his face with his right hand, thinking, “Mike, you’re really pushing your luck. If you want to ask for help, I can understand, but bringing in Zyaire? That’s a terrible idea. He’s been through hell and back; do you really think he’ll help you deal with Charlie? You must be tired of living!”
With a sense of helplessness, he said, “If you insist on calling Zyaire, just tell him you have a conflict with my guest, Mr. Wade, and that you want his help. Let’s see if he dares to assist you!”
Mike retorted, “Mr. Zyaire is the head of the Hongmen Sect, with over ten thousand followers. On Hong Kong Ind, he can handle anything! If he finds out you’re disrespecting him, he’ll be furious!”
