Chapter 203: If She Doesn’t Leave, I’ll Make Mango TV Go Bankrupt

Meng Xiaoxiao was stunned. "Damn it, Zhao Jing is a real piece of work. Isn’t she a woman herself? How could she target you like that! Why didn’t you just kill her?"

Shen Zhiyao said calmly, "I always abide by the law and don’t resort to killing. But I don’t like being plotted against either. So, I just gave her a taste of her own medicine."

"I doubt those two will be able to survive in the entertainment industry after this!"

Seeing Chen Yan’s completely unfazed expression, as if this were a common sight, Meng Xiaoxiao grew curious. "Who is he, really? It feels like he’s seen it all."

He could listen to Shen Zhiyao’s story and still look so calm, as if nothing had happened.

Meng Xiaoxiao’s first impression of Chen Yan was: ’This man is definitely not simple!’

Shen Zhiyao said, "You want to know? He’s right here. Why don’t you just ask him?"

At that moment, Chen Yan was admiring the magnificence of the sea.

A gentle breeze blew past, mussing his hair and giving him a somewhat melancholic look.

Noticing Meng Xiaoxiao’s scrutinizing gaze, he turned back and smiled faintly. "The scenery really is nice. Since we’re already here, it would be a shame not to enjoy it, wouldn’t it?"

Chen Yan had suddenly changed the subject, clearly not wanting to talk about himself, so Meng Xiaoxiao tactfully didn’t press the issue.

After breakfast, Zhou Ye and Zhao Jing emerged from their room, fully dressed.

The moment he appeared, Zhou Ye started shouting at Meng Xiaoxiao, "It was you! You set us up, that’s why we’re in this huge scandal! You venomous bitch, you..."

Flying into a humiliated rage, he swung his fist at Shen Zhiyao. But before it could land, Chen Yan’s hand was clamped around his neck.

Instantly, Zhou Ye’s face turned purple from lack of air.

Enjoying the drama, Meng Xiaoxiao added fuel to the fire, taunting Zhou Ye, "Wow~ You’re so tough, buddy! You usually seem so meek and mild, I never would’ve guessed you hit women! Damn, Zhou Ye, you’re pretty wild! But it’s fine. If you dare to hit a woman today, you’ll dare to conquer the world tomorrow. Any woman who ends up with you must have had eight lifetimes of bad luck~"

Seeing things were getting out of hand, the director hurried over to break it up, telling Meng Xiaoxiao to shut up and Chen Yan to let go.

By then, Zhou Ye was completely terrified. He collapsed to the ground, coughing uncontrollably, too scared to say a word.

After catching his breath, Zhou Ye looked up at Shen Zhiyao and said, trembling, "I know Shen Zhiyao’s secret! I’m going to expose her true colors!"

Shen Zhiyao’s appearance last night had been so terrifying that he thought she had died and was now a spirit.

He was going to expose her true nature right now, in front of all the viewers across the country.

’He refused to believe it. In broad daylight, with so many people from the production crew around, what kind of trouble could a single ghost possibly cause!?’

Hearing Zhou Ye speak, Shen Zhiyao lifted her gaze to him.

Her expression was indifferent, with a hint of detachment. Suddenly, his heart started pounding, and he grew tense.

’If I don’t say it now, Shen Zhiyao might actually kill me.’

So, with a now-or-never attitude, Zhou Ye began, "Shen Zhiyao’s secret is... Her secret is... Strange, why can’t I speak whenever I try to mention her secret..."

What he didn’t know was that Shen Zhiyao had placed a prohibition on him. Whenever he tried to mention her secret, his mouth would feel like it was glued shut, preventing him from saying anything.

Zhou Ye tried many times but couldn’t speak. So, he grabbed a pen from the table, preparing to write Shen Zhiyao’s secret down instead.

The moment he picked up the pen, his body began to convulse uncontrollably until he collapsed to the floor, exhausted.

He looked up in terror and saw Shen Zhiyao watching him with a smile playing on her lips, looking completely unconcerned.

Even though she looked so bright and beautiful, all he could feel from her was an aura of death.

"AHHHHH—"

Terrified by Shen Zhiyao, Zhou Ye screamed. He forced himself to his feet and stumbled back to his room.

The director was baffled by Zhou Ye’s antics. "Uh... what’s wrong with him?"

Meng Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and said, "Maybe he got a little too into rolling around in the sheets just now, and it overstimulated him?"

She seemed to remember something and turned to ask Zhao Jing, "It wasn’t you, you old hag, forcing yourself on the pretty boy, was it?"

Zhao Jing quickly explained, "I really didn’t! Don’t you dare accuse me wrongly!"

Meng Xiaoxiao wore an expression of sudden understanding. "Oh, so he consented to it!"

Zhao Jing: "..."

Now she really couldn’t explain herself even if she wanted to, and no one was willing to listen to her anyway.

For something like this to happen, and on the set of *Qing Qing Wo Wo* no less.

When Mango TV found out, they were furious.

The moment the cruise ship docked, they immediately found a reason to remove Zhao Jing from the show.

As she was leaving, Zhao Jing shot a venomous glare at Shen Zhiyao. ’This feud is on. One day, I’ll get my revenge!’

’I, Zhao Jing, am not a nobody like Zhou Ye, with no fame and no connections. I have plenty of contacts in the entertainment industry. Shen Zhiyao can just wait for my retaliation!’

At the time, Shen Zhiyao was talking with Meng Xiaoxiao.

She didn’t notice Zhao Jing’s glare.

But Chen Yan did.

He pulled out his phone and sent a message to the head of Mango TV: "Don’t let Zhao Jing appear in the country again. Otherwise, your Mango TV can wait to go bankrupt."

...

Soon, Zhao Jing was brought back to Mango TV’s headquarters.

Before entering the office, she had already come up with many excuses.

The scandal that broke on the show would have a huge impact on her. If she couldn’t smooth things over, she wouldn’t be able to land any more hosting gigs, shows, or commercials in the future.

Fortunately, she had been a signature host for Mango TV, had many variety shows under her belt, and had worked with the station head for many years.

As long as the station head stepped in, he could definitely save her job.

As soon as she entered the office, the station head gave her no chance to explain. He said directly, "I’ve already bought you a plane ticket to Country T. Don’t come back."

Zhao Jing was taken aback. "What about my hosting career? Sir, I was really set up this time. We’ve worked together for so many years, you know my character! I would never do something like cheat on my husband..."

The station head said, "You’re still thinking about your career at a time like this? You should be counting your lucky stars you’re still alive! Do you have any idea who you’ve provoked?"

"I know, I provoked Shen Zhiyao. The Jin Group is behind her. Is it because of that two-billion-yuan investment that you’re disregarding our decade-plus working relationship? I’ve made a lot of money for Mango TV over the years, haven’t I? You can’t just abandon me like this!"

The station head sighed helplessly. "Looking at the two billion alone, that is indeed more valuable than you. But the person you’ve offended is far more than just someone from the Jin family."

"He said you have to leave the country. If you don’t go, our entire Mango TV will go bankrupt. Do you think a single Jin Huai Zhong has that kind of power?"

The station head looked at Zhao Jing, his face full of helplessness. "Zhao Jing! It’s not that I don’t want to protect you, it’s that I *can’t* protect you!"

Zhao Jing understood. Above the level of mere capital, there were even more powerful figures.

Never mind her, even someone like Jin Huai Zhong was insignificant in front of a truly powerful person.

But she could wrack her brain until it exploded and still not figure out who on earth she had provoked.

In the end, she could only pack her things, take the ticket, and head to Country T that very day.
