Chapter 225 The Bottom Line
Bian Yue looked at the panic on his face and slowed down her tone, changing her previous coldness and saying gently: "Don't worry, as long as you tell the truth, I promise not to implicate you."
Meng Qi's face turned deathly pale. He said in a trembling voice, "Yes, it was Wang Dan'an. He was worried about the cooperation between you, Xinghe and Lixing. He threatened me and threatened me to put this surveillance camera in your office. Mr. Bian, I didn't want to do this either. I was forced to do it!"
Bian Yue frowned. She had already guessed that this matter was related to Wang Dan'an, but she was still angry about what Meng Qi said.
Her tone was cold, "What did he threaten you with?"
"My...my parents, Mr. Bian, Wang Dan'an used unfair terms when he signed the contract with me and Asi. I only started to have an income after I came to you." Meng Qi's eyes were red, and his expression was sad and angry. "But my family's conditions are not good. My parents have exhausted all their efforts to support me. Now they are working under Wang Dan'an. If I don't listen to Wang Dan'an, he will make my parents lose everything."
"So, Wang Dan'an sent you and Asi to me not to threaten you with the contract, but with something else?"
"That's right. He threatened me with my parents and threatened Asi with the dirty photos of Asi." Monchi said helplessly: "So, if he wants to do anything to us, we can only accept it."
Bian Yue was stunned. "Ashi's dirty photos? What photos are they?"
"Before, Asi wanted Wang Dan'an to give him resources so that he could have a chance to make a name for himself. Wang Dan'an coaxed Asi into accompanying the ladies in the circle to drink. Those people simply treated us as toys. No one cared about Asi's self-esteem. They were all trampling on him." Monk closed his eyes in pain and said in a deep voice, "So, Asi kept asking you if you wanted him. He was really afraid of being abused."
"Wang Dan'an took photos of these?"
"Yes, and afterwards, Wang Dan'an did not give Ah Xi any resources. Mr. Bian, small actors like us have lives worthless, and no one cares about our lives. Wang Dan'an used us time and again, but the promised resources were never realized. Mr. Bian, I'm sorry, I betrayed you. If you want to fire me, just fire me."
Bian Yue didn't expect that Wang Dan'an's methods would be so shameful.
In the business world, there are many people who resort to trickery, but some are so dirty and filthy as to be this extent.
He has crossed the bottom line of being a human being.
Before Bian Yue saw Wang Dan'an, most of the time he was in the world of fame and fortune, and he really didn't realize that he had a smelly appearance and a dirty soul.
Bian Yue took a deep breath and looked at Monchi who had already started crying on the sofa. She said in a cold voice, "I will take care of this matter. I will also take care of your parents' matter. You and A Xi are now actors under my name. I will not let outsiders bully you. But Monchi, if you monitor this matter again, I will not let you go."
Monk never expected that Bian Yue would stand on his side and want to stand up for him.
He stared at Bian Yue blankly, tears glistening in his eyes, "Boss Bian."
Bian Yue frowned and said in a deep voice: "You go out first."
Monkie slowly stood up, still feeling like he was dreaming. He slowly walked out the door, and couldn't help turning his head several times to look at Bian Yue, his eyes full of admiration.
Not long after Monk left, Bian Yue set off for Hongshan Film and Television.
When Wang Dan'an heard that Bian Yue was coming, he was stunned at first, and then he asked his assistant to accompany him to greet her.
He put a lot of effort into the scene. As soon as he saw Bian Yue, he greeted her with a smile and did his best to be humble.
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. What Wang Dan'an was betting on was that Bian Yue would not make the situation too ugly.
He walked towards Bian Yue with a smile and said loudly, "Boss Bian, why did you come here without saying hello?" Bian Yue also smiled and said calmly, "I haven't seen Boss Wang since the last birthday party. So I came here specially to see you today."
Wang Dan'an smiled brightly, stretched out his hand towards Bian Yue, and said, "Boss Bian, please come this way."
There was an intriguing look in Bian Yue's eyes. She followed Wang Dan'an's gesture and walked without saying anything.
The two men sat down in the office, each with their own thoughts.
Wang Dan'an's office has a retro style from the last century, with several valuable antique vases and a jade display cabinet that fills the entire wall.
But Bian Yue's attention was attracted by a group photo on the desk.
It was a place that looked like a Hope Primary School. Wang Dan'an stood among a group of simply dressed children with a charitable smile on his face.
Bian Yue has always heard that Wang Dan'an has put a lot of effort into charity.
Looking at it now, it is not in vain.
"Mr. Wang, how long have you been donating to left-behind children?" Bian Yue asked calmly.
Wang Dan'an laughed and waved his hand. "I have been engaged in charity since the establishment of Hongshan. As you know, Mr. Bian, I like children. This money is just a small amount for Hongshan. It's good enough to help these children."
Bian Yue said calmly: "Boss Wang is indeed a philanthropist."
Wang Dan'an sat on the armchair and said modestly, "I don't deserve it." He smiled at Bian Yue and said, "Please don't stand, Mr. Bian. Let's sit down and talk."
Only then did Bian Yue retract his gaze and sit down.
Her posture was steady, and she had become reserved and deep, making it hard to tell what she was thinking. She was completely different from the young girl before.
Wang Dan'an was not sure why Bian Yue came, but he did not dare to neglect her. He smiled and said, "I haven't congratulated Mr. Bian yet. Now that you have won over the two major shareholders, Lixing and Xinghe, Honey will surely be unstoppable in the future with them in charge."
"Thank you, Mr. Wang. I came here today to share my joy with you." Bian Yue curled the corners of her lips, but the smile did not reach her eyes. She stared at Wang Dan'an without blinking and said slowly, "I wonder if Mr. Wang likes this gift."
After Bian Yue finished speaking, she took out a rabbit ornament from the bag beside her.
Wang Dan'an's face changed. He looked at Bian Yue in shock at first, but then he immediately restrained his expression, laughed, and said, "Isn't this something that little girls like? I'm so old, how can I use it?"
"Mr. Wang also knows that he is getting old." Bian Yue said with hidden meaning.
Wang Dan'an looked at Bian Yue with a fake smile, and spoke again with a cold voice, "Boss Bian, what do you want to say? Just say it."
"You asked Monk to put this surveillance camera in my office. What do you want to do?" Bian Yue's face was as cold as frost. "Do you really need me to make it clear?"
The smile on Wang Dan'an's face disappeared, and he said coldly: "Bian Yue, it's meaningless for you to talk like this."
