Chapter 84: Envious of the Fish by the Abyss

Chapter 84: Envious of the Fish by the Abyss (Part )
Mr. Huang put out his cigarette, squatted down, and said jokingly, "Why should I slander you? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself, what a piece of shit!"

Zhou Tong seemed to have been hit hard. She screamed, curled up tightly, her eyes filled with fear, and muttered, "It's Yu Yuan. It must be Yu Yuan who wants to ban me."

Mr. Huang's eyes were deep. He brushed off the non-existent dust on his hands, stood up and said, "Did you expose the news about Yu Yuan's marriage?"

Zhou Tong's eyes were uncertain, and her voice was trembling slightly as she said, "Yes... it was Fu Juan who instigated me... She turned love into hate... I was just used by her."

Mr. Huang made his fortune as a horse stacker, and he has seen all kinds of people. A woman like Zhou Tong never tells the truth. He walked to the leather sofa, sat down, crossed his legs, and said indifferently: "Don't explain to me, I can't control you. If you have the time, go find Yu Yuan and explain it clearly, don't waste your time here."

Zhou Tong rushed to Mr. Huang, knelt on the ground, and pleaded with tears and snot: "Mr. Huang, I am really innocent. Please help me. As long as you are willing to help me... I will do anything..."

Mr. Huang moved his legs away in disdain. He said slowly, "You've asked the wrong person for help. I just came to the mainland to develop my career. How dare I confront Yu Yuan? Find someone to settle this matter before the news spreads. Otherwise, you'll be in trouble."

Zhou Tong was filled with unprecedented panic. Mr. Huang was not the kind of person who talked nonsense. He was telling the truth. She had to get out of danger as soon as possible.

Zhou Tong staggered to her feet, wiped the tears from her face, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Boss Huang, I'll come back to you after I've resolved this matter. Please don't forget me..."

Mr. Huang nodded and said perfunctorily, "Go ahead, go ahead. I'm waiting for you to become famous."

Zhou Tong ran out without looking back. She had been in the industry for many years and had some connections, so she was not without help. However, she was afraid that she would have to pay a huge price to resolve this matter.

A female celebrity like her who came from the bottom of society has no capital to support her, and anyone can step on her. If she wants to get out of this predicament, it depends on whether she can risk it.

After Fu Juan returned to the company, she soon learned that Zhou Tong was on the list of bad artists. Although she was nominally Zhou Tong's agent, she actually had no control over Zhou Tong.

Apart from Yu Yuan, she couldn't think of anyone else who could ban Zhou Tong so quickly. Fu Juan felt as if she were in danger of losing her teeth. She sat at her desk with all the muscles tensed up, like a frightened bird.

The fact was just as she expected. Soon, relevant departments came to inspect jointly. They said that someone had anonymously reported that their company was operating illegally. Fu Juan was overwhelmed to deal with it, but the loopholes were still found. The law enforcement officers were merciless and directly ordered her to suspend business and rectify.

Fu Juan was caught off guard by this sudden blow. Her company didn't have many artists to begin with, and with something like this happening, the company might not be able to continue operating.

She invested all her savings into the company and even mortgaged the house she currently lives in for a loan.

The company's bankruptcy meant that she would have to pay a large sum of liquidated damages, and her and her son's lives would also fall apart. She had no choice but to bow to Yu Yuan.

However, she couldn't see Yu Yuan whenever she wanted. Her phone number had been blocked by Yu Yuan a long time ago and she couldn't get through at all. Fu Juan was so angry that she was shaking, and she could only ask Han Shuo for mercy in a roundabout way.

The first time she called, the speaker was busy for more than a minute and no one answered. Fu Juan still didn't give up and continued to call him. Perhaps because she was tired of being harassed, or because they had some friendship, Han Shuo finally answered the phone. He said impatiently, "Why are you still looking for me? There's nothing to talk about between us."

Fu Juan felt as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water over her head. She said in a dry voice, "Han Shuo, the video that was exposed online has nothing to do with me. It was not done by me."

Han Shuo said in a cold voice: "I know you are not the mastermind, but you are involved with Zhou Tong. Even if you didn't do anything, you are still an accomplice. Brother Yuan will not show you mercy anymore. It's useless for you to look for me."

Fu Juan felt cold at heart when she heard this. She argued, "Zhou Tong and I are just partners. I don't have any outstanding artists under my command. What can I do if I don't hire her? She doesn't need my consent to do anything. Why should I be charged for her work?"

Han Shuo was furious that he didn't fight back, and he accused her bluntly, "Don't you know what kind of person Zhou Tong is? The purpose of the two of you colluding with each other is to deal with Brother Yuan. Do you think it's fun to treat others as fools?"

Fu Juan choked up and said, "That's not the case. Others may not know my feelings for Yu Yuan, but don't you know? I even named Xiao Yu'er after the idea of ​​envying the fish by the abyss. I'm infatuated with him, so how could I bear to hurt him?"

Han Shuo still had a working relationship with her, so he felt uncomfortable hearing her say that. Fu Juan continued:

"I'm indeed not as good as Chen Ruogu. He doesn't want me, and I have nothing to say. But I really didn't participate in what Zhou Tong did. Now I just want to run the company well and make money to support Xiaoyuer. Please help me one last time."

Fu Juan had never spoken to him in such a humble manner. In less than a year, she had ended up in such a situation. Han Shuo felt sorry for her, but he could do nothing about it. He said indifferently, "Brother Yuan is very determined this time. There is no room for change. No one can persuade you. All you can do now is to part ways with Zhou Tong and try to minimize the company's losses."

Fu Juan collapsed completely. She said unwillingly, "How am I going to live in the future? Xiao Yuer still needs to go to school. He is still so young. How am I going to raise him?"

Han Shuo sighed and said, "I can lend you some money for emergency. If you are willing to listen to my advice, you can give up the company and find a job to start over. You have the courage and ability, so it won't be difficult for you to turn things around."

Han Shuo's words were sincere. Fu Juan was not an ungrateful person. She pondered for a moment and said in a low voice, "Thank you for your help. I will pay you back when I have more money. I have no better choice. Let's follow the path you pointed out. We must support Xiao Yu'er first before we can talk about the future."

Han Shuo was sentimental about their old friendship, so he tried to help Yu Yuan as much as he could without betraying him.

It was also Fu Juan's fault that she was stubborn and would not give up until her head was broken and bloody. Han Shuo's advice could have helped her avoid many detours and prevented Xiao Yuer from having to live a displaced life.

After this incident, Fu Juan's feelings for Yu Yuan completely faded. Yu Yuan had no feelings for her from the beginning to the end, so he could abandon her without hesitation.

Recalling the past, Fu Juan felt that she was a joke. She admitted her stupidity, faced up to her mistakes, and was willing to pay for them. At the same time, she also had the courage to start again.
