Chapter 223: Chapter 223
Right after Linda left, Chase hugged Elena gently and said with a smile, "Best wishes to us working together!
Elena, who was still immersed in anger, was stupefied when Chase suddenly took her in his arms. She turned scarlet. This b*stard!
He said he did not care about her looks!
An hour had yet to pass and he was already touching her. Elena was about to hit Chase but she heard him say, "Don't move."
She stopped for a moment. After three seconds, Chase released Elena and said to her, "You can go now."
Flames of anger licked through her as she stomped her feet.
What was wrong with him?
He had just felt her up and now, he asked her to leave!
Did he regard her as a slit?
Elena was about to question Chase before she suddenly changed her mind.
The hug earlier...
Chase only put his hands on her shoulders: he did not lean in at all.
Well, could she say that he was taking advantage of her?
For a moment, Eleria was at a loss, wondering what this guy was up to She went back to her office in a daze, trying to digest everything that happened a while ago. It felt a bit like a dream.
Meanwhile, Linda went to the basement parking lot alone. furious. She was going to leave this place at once.
Right then, she suddenly heard a faint grunt from a corner not far away,
She walked over and took a look, immediately immobilized by terror.
A man with a swollen head covered in bruises was on the ground, groaning.
She was so scared that she was about to turn around and leave. Suddenly, she heard the man shouting weakly, "Linda? Help me. Help me."
Linda was taken aback. After a closer look, she recognized this man right away.
Was it not Ryan?
She hurried over and helped Ryan up. She asked, "Ryan, what happened to you? Who beat you up?"
Hearing this, Ryan's glassy eyes twinkled with a hint of insidiousness. He gnashed his teeth and hissed, "Chase! It's Chase, that bestard! He actually asked someone to beat me up and threw me here. He clearly wanted everyone from the company to see what a fool I make of myself! He just made me his forever enemy!"
Linda's expression turned sullen upon hearing Chase's name. She cursed. "It's him again!"
She thought, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend"
Linda sent Ryan to her car and took him to the hospital hurriedly,Along the way, Ryan was in so much pain that he continued to cuss, "I will definitely not let Chase go! I'm going to kill him!"
Linda asked, "Do you really want to kill him? Shall we team up?"
Surprised, Ryan parroted, "Team up?"
Linda simpered ruthlessly. "Yes! Team up! I happened to have the evidence of that bestard getting cozy with Elena!"
Energized instantly, Ryan cheered excitedly, "Really? D*mn! I have always felt that there's something going on with the two of them! It's great that you have evidence!"
Linda nodded. "As solid as they come! However, both of us have been driven out of the company now. I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to bring him down."
Ryan smirked and snorted. There is another person who should be able to help"
"Who?" Linda asked.
"Lucas!" Ryan answered as Lucas's face flashed across his mind.
Lucas was obviously also trying to unseat Chase. Otherwise, Lucas would not have chosen not to report their success of securing the negotiations the other time.
In this case, Ryan and Linda could make good use of Lucas's power to depose and vanquish Chase! to Linda's face glowed with a hint of joy. This is perfect! I want bring both Chase and Elena to their knees!"
Meanwhile, after Chase shooed Elena away, he called Olivia to his office.
Olivia asked indifferently, "Yes?"
Her tone did not reflect what was expected out of a typical secretary.
Chase instructed, "Do two things for me. Help me collect the personal information of all well-known Chinese medicine experts across the country. I want the most updated and detailed information, especially those in Golden City. The chairman of the Golden City Pharmaceutical Association is an expert in Chinese medicine, isn't he?"
A thought flashed across Olivia's mind. She asked, "Are you going to bribe them and let them participate in our new movie to help us out?"
Well, this was the only plausible explanation. After all, the new movie had a medical theme. Chase seemed to want these experts to speak up to support this movie.
This guy always opted for these shabby methods!
Chase did not answer but repeated, "Just do what I said!"
"Okay, got it. This is not difficult. I should be able to check it through the National Pharmaceutical Association system. I just want to remind you that we don't have a lot of funds, and the funds should be used in the right way.
Chase nodded and continued. 'Next, help me get the script of the new movie right away.
Olivia was stunned for a moment. She asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Edit it," Chase answered.
Olivia frowned. This script was written by a well-known screenwriter. Are you sure you want to edit it?"
Chase nodded. "Yes."
Olivia sighed. This guy was really asking for trouble.
What he was doing was completely unnecessary. He could have spent more time getting down to actual business.
Why would he want to edit the script? How could a layman like him be better than an expert scriptwriter?
Anyway, he was about to be dismissed. She should just let him cause as much trouble as he pleased.
Olivia walked out of the office after Chase gave her his instructions.
She did not want to stay in Chase's office for a minute longer.
She went to get those done right away.
While she was instructing her subordinates to settle these two matters, Lucas's phone rang.
His spy had reported these two matters to him immediately.
After hearing about it, Lucas could not help but guffaw. I don't
expect this idiot to employ this method. He actually wants to bribe the medical experts! Very well, I shall help him out! I'll see how he is going to deal with the problems later on!" He took out the phone and once again set a trap to foil Chase's plan.
He was overjoyed!
Chase had no idea what was waiting for him.
Lucas could know every move Chase made without exposing himself.
Besides, he could even set traps based on the information he received.
Chase was definitely going to suffer!
After Lucas finished the call, he put on an angry face and went to Chase's office.
As Chase was making tea, he walked over and stated angrily, "Director Lu, we are in trouble again!"
Chase took a sip and asked, "What's the trouble?
Lucas reported in a deep voice, "As we only have a budget of 10 million yuan, I personally made a lot of calls to some influencers. All of them refused to participate in our movie."
He paused for a while and added, "That being said, we have no actors for our new movie!"
