Fu Yi still wanted to say something.
Just then, Rong Yan’s voice calling for dinner came from outside.
“Duidui, go wash your hands, it’s time to eat.”
“Okay, mom.”
The sound of footsteps in the living room approached from afar and soon reached the door of the study.
“Knock knock.” The door was knocked.
After knocking twice, Rong Yan opened the door and said to the man inside, “Li Shengxiao, dinner’s ready.”
“Are you still busy?” She belatedly realized he was on a call, and without thinking it was anything other than work-related, she blinked her beautiful eyes and reminded him, “The food is ready. Remember to come out and eat once you’re done. It wouldn’t taste good once it gets cold.”
“I’ll come out soon.
Rong Yan curved her eyes down, holding the door, and said with seemingly good spirits, “No worries, you go ahead with your work. If you really can’t make it, I’ll reheat the dishes for you later. I’m going to take Duidui to wash his hands and start eating with him a bit earlier.”
It was already past seven in the evening.
Children shouldn’t go hungry for too long; it’s not good for their health.
With Li Shengxiao busy with work, she could only start eating with Duidui first.
“Mhm.”
Rong Yan closed the door to the study, and the room returned to its quiet state.
Fu Yi, on the other end of the phone, smartly kept his mouth shut from the moment a woman’s voice came through and had remained silent. Even after Rong Yan’s footsteps receded, he still hadn’t recovered from his shock.
Shengxiao had been on the verge of raging when he was speaking with him, yet there was no hint of a bad mood when he talked to that young woman.
What kind of clout did that woman have to make Shengxiao suppress his temper and not let the other party sense any displeasure?
Was this considered being pampered?
He suddenly remembered the last time at the shooting range, the rare occasion when Shengxiao lost control of his emotions, which also seemed to involve a woman.
This woman… what kind of magic does she possess?
To have caught the attention of a man like Shengxiao!
“Pass the message to Stephen. I’m giving him one day to handle it; I want his decision before the day after tomorrow. Whether he replaces her or blackballs her, he has to pick one and tell me!” Rong Yan left, and Li Shengxiao’s dark, hawk-like eyes flashed with ruthlessness once more as he spoke coldly.
Fu Yi, still immersed in the aftershock of the conversation, didn’t say much upon hearing this, “I got it, I will deliver the message for you.”
He added with a wry smile, “Actually, the two options you mentioned are practically just one choice, but rest assured, I’ll pass along the message.”
No sane person would choose the second option; even if Stephen chose it, other investors would avoid funding the movie once they knew.
This isn’t just a matter of losing money, it’s about having the audacity to go against a man who can turn the tables at will!
Anyone with a brain wouldn’t go against Li Group.
Even internationally renowned directors have no choice but to replace her, as Li Shengxiao offered no other options!
Even if Rong Weiwei has the backing of HuanYu and comes with three hundred million in funding, it wouldn’t change the fate of being replaced!
“That’s all.” Li Shengxiao replied noncommittally, his eyes half-closed, and hung up the phone.
After putting down the phone, he didn’t rush to leave. Instead, he stood quietly in the study for several minutes, suppressing all the emotions in his eyes before he slowly opened his notebook and encrypted the audio file in his inbox. After shutting down the computer, he casually dealt with the scratch on the back of his left hand with some paper, threw the bloodied tissue into the trash can, picked up his phone, opened the door to the study, and walked out…
