Lin Che thought that they should have taken a look at the list of actors before picking a bone to fight with them.

For this round of actors involved, there was someone who could not be messed with and they still dared to find trouble as they pleased.

They were courting death if they did not want Gu Jingze to act.

However, the staff did not know and seeing how Lin Che seemed calm, they felt a little restless.

“Does Sister Che not know the importance of copyrights? You can’t just buy them easily. Glorious Star must have caught onto this. They know that our company has funds and doesn’t lack funds. But they’ll not sell the rights to us. We can’t do anything with the rights in their hands.”

“Alright, Sister Che has already said it. Let’s stop worrying.”

Lin Che bumped into Yu Minmin.

Yu Minmin immediately said, “Hold on. I’ll call Glorious Star and ask.”

“Sure, I’m not in a hurry. In a while, they’ll be the eager ones.”

“You are that sure?”

“Yes. Don’t you already know? With Gu Jingze’s character, you can’t change his mind on whatever he decides to do. Now, there’s someone who wants to stop him from participating in acting and hindering the production of the drama he’s part of. Do you think he’ll let the person off?”

“That’s true.”

Yu Minmin picked up the phone.

“Madam Liang.” She gave a call directly to Glorious Star’s highest-ranked agent, Liang Shan.

“Oh, a personal call from Madam President. I’m shocked and honored.”

“About that copyright issue, I’m not sure if you’ve heard about it.”

“Oh, you mean ‘Dirty Celestial’? I’m really… sorry. I didn’t let you know beforehand that we’ve already gotten the rights. It’s all the author’s fault. He didn’t get things clear. The rights had already been sold to us and he was still peddling them.”

“Haha. So it looks like you’re not intending to let go. We’re willing to buy it at a high price.”

“I know your production studio is generous and willing to invest in anything. Boss Lin is street smart and dares to do anything. However, we’ve already prepared for this TV drama. It’s true. We’ve gotten the actors ready. We really can’t sell it.”

“Haha.”

Lin Che could not stand hearing any longer. The complacent tone of Liang Shan was unbelievably acidic.

Lin Che took over the mobile phone. “Madam Liang, I’m really giving you a chance now. If we don’t cross each other’s boundaries, we can still work together in the future. If you want to be like this now, I won’t give you any more chances.”

“Hahaha. Be my guest. Don’t be mad, Boss Lin. This is just competition in business.”

Lin Che could not be bothered to reply and hung up.

On the other side.

Liang Shan let out a huff.

“I’ll see how much longer she can stay proud. She really thinks we don’t know our stuff. She already has kids and she’s still playing the innocent girl.”

Wu Yufei stood at the side and asked, “Haven’t you found out whose kid that is? What if it’s a cover-up and we fall into a trap?”

“What trap? Didn’t you say it yourself? The kid looks a lot like her. Moreover, her success in these few years is indeed suspicious. We don’t know who’s backing her and in control. Perhaps she’s being kept by some rich businessman and secretly had a kid. She played her cards wrong and didn’t think that the rich man was already married so she had to have the kid in secret. If not, there’s not a need to hide.”

Wu Yufei knew it made some sense but still felt uneasy.

Wu Yufei said, “So what you’re saying is if she finds a way, we’ll use this to control her?”

“Yes. This time, she has already started the project. Probably about thirty percent of the cost has already been put out. It only takes a moment to lose millions. Ha, she still dares to throw a fit at me. We have evidence against her. In the future, we’ll see how she, Lin Che, dares to be arrogant with me.”

And on the other side.

Gu Jingze had already gotten the news.

The production team had suddenly stopped work and everyone was in a heated discussion.

They also told Gu Jingze that he didn’t need to go over for the moment. He naturally understood that there were some issues.

Soon, he found the cause.

Qin Hao walked over. “Mister, what do you want me to do?”

“This Glorious Star. Take a look.” Gu Jingze pushed the information to him.

Qin Hao was puzzled. He took them to have a look and got a fright.

“Oh, they dare touch their mistress. To make things worse, it involved Gu Jingze this time.”

Although he did not understand why Gu Jingze would head over to dabble in the act, he could not question the boss.

“Alright, I’ll get to it immediately.”

The next day, some issue cropped up at Glorious Star.

Two of the artists were taken off the program. One was even ousted for being a kept woman and was captured on video to be made a spectacle of.

Glorious Star was startled.

“How did this video end up in someone else’s hands?” Glorious Star was in hot water.

“The video was in the hands of the rich man’s wife. She had initially agreed that if we behaved, she would not leak it out. After all, the video would not do her any good. She did not want others to see too. But now…”

They called the rich man’s wife to ask. As a result, the woman directly told them, “This is because you offended someone blindly.”

“Oh, Mrs. Chen, with this video out, isn’t it bad for you as well? Why not help us and say it’s fake? We can just say that it was just a game at that time? How about…”

“Yes, it’s not good for me but I don’t wish to court my own death as you do. Between reputation and life, I think I value life more. I can’t help you, so I’ll advise you to think about what wicked things you’ve done recently. Quickly stop it or if not, you’ll be dead. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

The rich man’s wife hung up as soon as she said her piece.

Glorious Star was dumbfounded.

What wicked things? Unless it meant… regarding Lin Che.

Liang Shan was so mad that she slammed the table.

“I don’t believe that Lin Che doesn’t have the backing of a big shot.” She called Lin Che to confront her.

“Boss Lin, this doesn’t make sense. I only took one of your TV dramas and you got rid of one of my artists.”

An artist whose worth was more than millions.

Lin Che laughed, “I really don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Don’t act dumb with me, Lin Che. I know that you have someone behind you. You don’t have to deny it. How are your two kids doing now? Well, I reckon, they’re behind closed doors. However, paper can’t protect someone forever. Sooner or later, someone will find out about you. Are you sure this is how you want things to go down?”

Lin Che laughed. “Oh? Do you have proof?”

“I…”

“Right now, you’re defaming and threatening me. I’m recording our conversation.”

“Hey, you…”

Why are the cards being played out of the usual?
