Chapter 113: Live Like Summer Flowers, Join Forces to Set a Trap_3
Zhou Can laid it all out for her.
"Ah..."
This piece of news indeed left her utterly shocked.
Watching her surprised expression with wide eyes and an agape mouth, Zhou Can rather enjoyed it.
"I'm planning to mortgage my house to take out a loan to buy your album, then help you terminate the contract."
What Zhou Can said next both moved and surprised her.
"No, the risk is too high. Besides, you don't understand the ins and outs of the entertainment industry. Buying it would only result in a huge loss. If it ends up causing you to lose your house, I would live in endless guilt and self-reproach."
She firmly disagreed with Zhou Can helping her.
Only those who've been in the entertainment circle know how deep the waters can be.
A newbie like Zhou Can, not to mention one house, even ten houses wouldn't be enough to cover the losses.
"Looking down on your boyfriend, aren't you?" Zhou Can teased her refined and delicate nose.
Causing her to pout in discontent.
"Don't worry, if I dare to buy it, naturally I have a fallback plan. Even if I do lose it all, I won't regret it. Compared to you, what's a house?"
Zhou Can really was prepared for the worst.
He could certainly afford the loss of one or two houses.
Even without relying on his parents, his doctor's salary was enough for a comfortable life.
Not to mention that he's a second-generation rich kid.
"Thank you! Meeting you is the greatest fortune of my life."
She was extremely moved.
After struggling in society for six or seven years, although she wasn't old, she was very clear about men's true colors. Those lusting after her beauty would instantly become selfish and hypocritical as soon as money was involved.
After she fell into hardship and tried to borrow money from acquainted bosses,
Be it those bosses or rich heirs, once they knew she was in trouble, they all showed their fangs. Lending her ten or twenty thousand without the need for repayment, but expecting her to sleep with them.
That was something Su Qianqian could never accept.
Compared to those men, Zhou Can was simply a breath of fresh air.
And because of that, she could see who was sincere and who was faking it.
Subconsciously, Su Qianqian wrapped her arms around Zhou Can's waist.
"Can, thank you for treating me as so important. But I don't want to burden you, and I'm not worth you doing all this for me, my..."
Her words were once again stopped by Zhou Can.
Preventing her from continuing.
"I've made up my mind. As a husband leads, a wife follows; just listen to me. Just wait and see, wait for me to get revenge for you. Moreover, once the album has been successfully acquired, I will give you an even bigger surprise."
Zhou Can didn't tell her the specifics of his plan.
Success comes from secrecy; loose lips can cause failure.
Nothing must be revealed before things are set in stone; successful deeds require tight-lipped discretion.
To acquire that album at a low price, they need her to play the leading role.
"Didn't Beihai Langxing Company quote a price of five million? I specifically consulted with professionals, it can be secured for no more than two million. But this rogue company is counting on your desperation to cancel the contract, regardless of the expense. So we might as well plot our retribution..."
Zhou Can repeated the plan, involving her staging a suicide drama, followed by him stepping in to aggressively haggle the price.
After hearing it, Su Qianqian realized that this young master, who had a bit of money, wasn't just messing about.
On the contrary, he demonstrated considerable strategic depth.
"Do you really have a high opinion of my album?"
She looked up and asked.
"I have a high opinion of you as a person!"
Zhou Can stared at her enchantingly seductive face, finding it irresistible no matter the angle.
Humans indeed are visual creatures.
Men seeing beautiful women or women seeing handsome men, the first sight is often colored by attraction.
"You're so bad!"
She protested.
"Believe it or not, I'll show you how bad I can be?"
Zhou Can fixated on her thin red lips.
"And here I thought you were such a gentleman, but now your true colors are showing, aren't they?" She said, rejecting yet inviting with an expression that seemed more like a challenge.
"I never said I was a saint, alright!"
Zhou Can leaned in closer so they could feel each other's breath.
He could sense she was particularly nervous, her body tensely clenched.
Zhou Can stealthily planted a kiss on her smooth forehead and quickly pulled back.
Love is like laying siege; winning the heart is paramount.
Capturing the beauty's heart is pure joy.
"Rest easy."
He didn't take any further action.
Just a kiss on the forehead was probably the limit of what she was comfortable with.
This sort of cozy affection between lovers, he enjoyed even more.
Her charming face flushed with shyness, and after a moment, she wrapped her arms tighter around Zhou Can's waist, her face carrying a sweet, soft smile.
The next morning, an ambulance arrived with its siren blaring.
It stopped below the building where Zhou Can lived. Su Qianqian was taken away by the ambulance for ingesting a 'large' amount of sleeping pills.
The incident made quite a stir, Zhou Can first called the police.
Then, he phoned Beihai Langxing Company to inform them that their employee Su Qianqian had attempted suicide and was now being rushed to the hospital.
He asked them to send someone over to handle the situation.
The police, being the fastest to respond, arrived first.
Concerned about a potential loss of life, Vice President Qian from Beihai Langxing Company, who had previously interacted with them, personally led a team to the scene.
After completing the formalities and statements, the police, learning about Su Qianqian's contract dispute with the company, suggested she could resolve it through legal procedures or labor arbitration.
Naturally, to uphold justice and conscience, the police also gave Vice President Qian from Beihai Langxing a stern lecture.
