"Since you wish to play games with me, why don't I humor you and offer you a chance to reveal your true colors."
A plan began to brew in Qin Miaomiao's mind, yet she knew careful execution was paramount. The most challenging aspect was maintaining the correct equilibrium and acumen, prompting her to deliberate and subsequently fixate her attention on Mo Wenwan.
At this precise juncture, Mo Wenwan was in the midst of managing paparazzi who had captured compromising photographs detailing the scandalous private affairs of one of her affiliated artists. She stepped forward, engaging them in negotiation and boldly promising to furnish them with an even more sensational exposé within a fortnight as recompense. It was only then that they agreed to withhold the publication of the incriminating images.
"There must be negatives, and who knows how many copies they've already made. It seems if I don't provide them with an even better lead, the photos might still get out in half a month," Mo Wenwan immediately frowned, a knot of worry tightening in her chest.
"How peculiar, why is she calling me?"
She had inadvertently recorded Qin Miaomiao’s phone number, never anticipating receiving a call from her.
Mo Wenwan initially suspected a trick of the light or her imagination, but soon realized it was indeed her calling. Thus, with a half-formed belief, she answered the phone, stating, "Hello, Miss Qin."
Qin Miaomiao responded in a manner befitting her position, "I trust we can find common ground for collaboration, Miss Mo. Are you amenable to this proposition?"
Upon hearing Qin Miaomiao’s proposition, Mo Wenwan was taken aback. She struggled to grasp the rationale behind such a partnership, especially when the specifics of the collaboration remained entirely unknown. Consequently, she inquired, "What is the nature of Miss Qin's proposal?"
"Let us convene to discuss the particulars. Will you be available at ten o’clock tomorrow morning?"
Mo Wenwan considered the offer for a brief moment before replying, "The timing is suitable. Where shall we convene?"
"Allow me to transmit the rendezvous point to you shortly."
Mo Wenwan harbored doubts about Qin Miaomiao’s sincerity in seeking cooperation. However, she was also apprehensive of any unforeseen maneuvers Qin Miaomiao might orchestrate that could catch her off guard. Consequently, after a period of internal debate, she resolved to accept the meeting, harboring a faint hope of an unexpected advantage.
She wrestled with her thoughts, then began perusing significant intellectual properties that had piqued her interest, recalling Li Li’s earlier remarks regarding investment potential. This reflection prompted a shift in her perspective. She sensed a growing complexity in the situation, and the company's present financial standing rendered the acquisition of these IPs utterly unattainable. Furthermore, her artistic sensibilities diverged from Li Li’s preferences, making the underlying conflict increasingly apparent.
"If he is genuinely intending to invest in that particular show, I must admit my optimism is exceedingly low. Yet, all the financial resources are under his control. My only recourse would be to purchase the rights independently, a feat currently beyond my capabilities."
Once more, she found herself ensnared in a quandary. Mo Wenwan had been actively exploring alternative solutions, yet a satisfactory outcome remained elusive. The opportune arrival of Qin Miaomiao's outreach at this critical juncture surprised her, significantly increasing her inclination to meet.
Li Li’s gaze remained steadfastly fixed upon the silent woman situated before him. Observing her profound speechlessness, her dazed posture, and her vacant stare directed at the floor, he harbored other, more complex thoughts.
"It appears President Shan holds you in considerable affection."
Abruptly, these words reached Huang Shan’s auditory senses, causing a subtle tremor in the hands resting upon her knees. She regarded the man before her with bewildered astonishment, feeling profoundly disoriented. Acting on impulse, she rose to her feet and declared with a semblance of nonchalance, "You are aware, I never harbored any ulterior motives towards President Shan. My engagement with him was solely at your behest from the very inception."
