Chapter 160: Just a foil
The three women were speechless after being confronted by Rumeng. They looked at each other and were stunned for a while. However, the desire to save face and suffer in life is always the strong point of those who are vain.
One of the women calmed down, glared at Rumeng and Cheng Ning, and retorted with pursed lips: "Who are you calling thick-skinned?"
Another woman quickly agreed: "That's right, you look so poor, yet you still want to snatch the audition spot from us. We have already obtained the qualification for the second round of auditions, what can you use to compete with us?"
There was another woman who was a little more timid and just kept nodding in agreement.
Rumeng laughed and said, "Where on earth do they get the courage from? It's only been an hour or two since Xu Feifei was kicked out, and they're getting so carried away after getting the quota. Have they even forgotten their last name?"
Cheng Ning shook his head: "They just got the chance to audition for the second female lead double, and they still have to go through several rounds of selection. They are so proud that they have lost their minds. Can such people act well? Their future is worrying. I suggest they go back to school and start over."
After that, she said to the three women, "Are we comparable? The quotas you have are just for show, just to make up the numbers and create an atmosphere."
"You...you are not the director, do you have the right to speak?" said the woman who spoke first in a cold voice.
Cheng Ning smiled and said, "I'm really not a director. Look, I can make your quota go away immediately. Do you believe me?"
Another woman sneered, "You two country bumpkins want the director to disqualify us from the election. This is really funny."
After she finished speaking, she and the other two women looked at each other, then raised their heads and burst into laughter.
"..."
Rumeng was speechless. What had happened to these girls? Or was this just the social norm?
She had previously thought that Xu Feifei was acting crazy because she was trying to become a mistress.
I didn't expect there are so many scumbag women in society. They are so hypocritical that they don't even blush or feel their hearts beat. It subverts my three views.
At this moment, Rumeng's phone rang again. It was Chuxing calling. As soon as she answered the phone, she heard Chuxing's urgent voice, "Wife, where are you?"
Ru Meng was stunned for a moment: "I'm with Editor-in-Chief Cheng, what's wrong? What happened?"
"That's good. I called you just now but you didn't answer. I thought something happened to you." Chu Xing said.
He just called Rumeng, but no one answered the call. She was extremely anxious!
"I put my phone in silent mode in my bag and didn't pay attention to it. I thought I would call you as soon as I got in the car, so I just picked it up in my hand." Rumeng said.
"It's almost rush hour and the traffic is very congested. Haven't you finished the cooperation negotiations yet?" Chu Xing said.
Ru Meng pursed her lips and said helplessly, "It's over. I was just about to go home. There were a few fleas in the parking lot causing trouble. I killed the bugs and went back. Don't worry."
When Chu Xing heard her words, he understood immediately. He couldn't help but sneer: "You are really a troublemaker. Can you do it alone? Do you need support from the support group?"
"No need, Cheng Ning is here, I won't say much to you for now." Ru Meng said.
After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone without even finishing her words.
When she looked up, she saw three women, one of whom was about to sit on the hood of a supercar to take a selfie, and then she hurriedly hung up the phone.
Chu Xing shrugged, shook his head and lamented: "I have been abandoned by Ru Meng again."
"What's going on? Do we need to go find her?" Yan Feng said.
After listening to the conversation between Chu Xing and Ru Meng, he also felt worried about Ru Meng, although he had witnessed with his own eyes that Ru Meng was good at dealing with scheming green tea girls.
But when women fight, they pull hair, grab clothes and so on, and are more brutal than men. He was worried that Rumeng would be outnumbered.
Han Ge, Xiang Ming and Song Yang also said in unison: "Should we go over and take a look? If Ru Meng is besieged by several people alone, she will suffer."
Chu Xing shook his head and smiled, "I thought so too, but Ru Meng said that Editor-in-Chief Cheng from the publishing house is with her, so we don't need to go over there, so let them handle it themselves."
He thought to himself that Rumeng had always hoped that he could give her more trust, so he should just let her handle the problem herself and not intervene unless necessary.
After three years of marriage, he kept Rumeng at home and forgot to care about her real inner needs.
Maybe he was really wrong over the past three years.
When I first woke up and thought about this, I couldn't help but blame myself.
"Rumeng is such a smart woman. I believe she can solve her own problems." Seeing Chu Xing silent, Yan Feng patted his shoulder to comfort him.
He pondered for a few seconds, then pursed his lips, "Then we men should think more about how to deal with Chu Hua Ting and his son. Only by treating the root cause can we truly solve the problem."
"Yes, since Chu Huating has made his intentions clear to you, he must have done a lot of work in private." Song Yang said.
"He has met all the major shareholders, company veterans, and backbones of the Chu Group. Everyone Chu Huating could meet with, he has met with," Chu Xing said.
He took a deep breath and continued, "Chu Hua Ting wants to buy out the shares held by those shareholders, but they are not fools. The price they offer is beyond his reach. I am worried that they will get impatient and use any means to force those old shareholders to give in."
Han Ge nodded slightly: "Just as I thought, people like Chu Hua Ting will definitely do that. He only cares about interests and no emotions. It's terrible!"
"Chu Xing, you can also buy the shares held by those old shareholders. Chu Huating has no money, but you do. If you take the lead, won't it be OK?" Xiang Ming said.
His mind is inclined towards art, and he only got involved in business in the last two or three years out of necessity and was forced to take over the family business. He is still learning and practicing many aspects of it.
Chu Xing smiled and said, “Even if he can get the shares from the elders, it won’t be of much use. Their real purpose is not to spend money to buy shares, but to simply get something for nothing and take Chu’s for themselves.”
He took a deep breath and then continued, "I'm afraid that the old shareholders will be taken advantage of, just like grandpa. Can Chu Hua Ting let them live?"
Song Yang gritted his teeth and said, "It's simply lawless. Without sufficient evidence, we really can't do anything to this kind of person."
"Yes, my grandfather's case was hastily closed. I still haven't figured out who is supporting Chu Huating behind the scenes." Chu Xing said.
Yan Feng pursed his lips and said, "We are in the light, while the other party is in the dark. Our every move is easily exposed, but we have to spend energy to discover the other party. However, there is no need to worry too much. Wherever we go, there will be traces left. There is no airtight wall. We should be patient."
Xiang Ming agreed: "By the way, Chu Xing, does grandma know about these things?"
Chu Xing nodded slightly: "I didn't tell her that someone had tampered with Grandpa's car accident, but after Ru Meng found out that someone had mixed poison into Grandma's medicine, she knew something about it."
"Luckily Rumeng was careful, otherwise, grandma's life would be in danger." Chu Xing said. When he said these words, his tone was full of gratitude.
At this time, Rumeng was still in the open-air parking lot in front of the publishing house's office building.
After she ended her call with Chu Xing, she stopped the woman who wanted to sit on the hood of the supercar to take a photo: "Hey, who told you to sit on it? Can you afford to pay for it if it gets scratched?"
