Chapter 172: Chapter 172

Lin Fan just had a call with Du Tao, the president of Tianxue Entertainment?

This surprised everyone a bit; clearly, Lin Fan knows Du Tao.

President Zhang had a sense of foreboding, took the phone with a bit of fear: "Mr. Du... I’m Zhang Can from Wan Guang, yes, we’re discussing a collaboration with Tourist Comics... What?"

Whatever Du Tao said, Zhang Can suddenly turned pale, began to tremble, and his voice started shaking.

"Okay, Mr. Du, I understand."

President Zhang turned pale and put down the phone.

Suddenly, he dropped to his knees and begged Lin Fan, tears and snot streaming.

"Mr. Lin, it’s my fault for not recognizing greatness and offending you. Please, spare me this time." President Zhang pleaded, no longer arrogant in the slightest.

This scene left everyone stunned.

After the call with Du Tao, President Zhang ended up ?

Wasn’t he relying on Du Tao’s backing, disregarding Lin Fan? How did he suddenly become such a coward?

Lin Fan knew Du Tao had revealed his identity to President Zhang, the Big Boss of Tianxue Entertainment, Du Tao’s boss.

This identity was enough to scare President Zhang to his core.

Lin Fan said indifferently, "I’m not your boss. Whether to spare you is not for me to decide. I just want an apology. Give me my phone back."

Lin Fan took the phone from President Zhang’s hand.

President Zhang quickly said, "Sorry, Mr. Lin, I’m really sorry, a thousand apologies. Please forgive me, Mr. Lin!"

President Zhang turned and said, "Miss Chen, I’m sorry. Everyone from Tourist Comics, I’m sorry!"

President Zhang was a bit flustered: "What else? Oh, Little Sun, why are you still standing there? Get down and apologize quickly!"

Little Sun was already confused. What’s wrong with President Zhang? How could he be so scared after a phone call? Weren’t they backed by Du Tao?

"President Zhang, who is he?" Little Sun couldn’t resist asking out of curiosity.

President Zhang hurriedly said, "Don’t ask too much, just kneel and apologize!"

Little Sun was surprised but realized Lin Fan must be a big shot, someone even President Zhang couldn’t afford to offend. Naturally, he couldn’t either.

Little Sun also knelt down, apologizing to Lin Fan and everyone, just like President Zhang.

President Zhang suddenly said, "Little Sun, you’re fired. Go back to the company and handle your resignation now, leave!"

Little Sun’s face changed drastically; he was being fired?

President Zhang feared he would talk too much, followed up with: "This is Mr. Du’s decision!"

Little Sun was scared and shivered. Since Du Tao wanted to fire him, he didn’t dare have any objections, so he got up and left dejectedly, feeling extremely frustrated.

He didn’t know which Immortal he had offended.

After sending Little Sun away, President Zhang said with a smile: "Mr. Lin, Mr. Du just said our boss is already on his way here, he wants to personally discuss this collaboration with Tourist Comics."

Lin Fan responded, "Oh really, then I’ll wait here for him. Lingling, come with me to the office."

Lin Fan went into the office with Chen Lingling, leaving President Zhang alone.

Entered the office and closed the door.

Chen Lingling curiously asked, "Brother Lin, why is President Zhang suddenly so afraid of you..."

Chen Lingling didn’t finish her sentence, when Lin Fan suddenly wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her into his embrace.

"Been a few days, have you missed me?" Lin Fan said with a mischievous smile.

Not seeing her for a few days, upon seeing her outside earlier, Lin Fan felt a sudden urge to hug her. He didn’t know why, maybe somewhere deep inside, he had already considered this girl his woman?

Chen Lingling’s face turned bright red; she hadn’t expected Brother Lin to launch such an attack suddenly, but then her body softened, melting into Lin Fan’s arms.

"Yes, always thinking about it." Chen Lingling said shyly.

If it weren’t for being busy with the movie, she wished to be with Brother Lin every day.

She bravely lifted her head, "What about you, Brother Lin? Did you miss me?"

"What do you think?" Lin Fan smiled, looking at her plump cherry lips, truly wanting to kiss her...

But now was not the time.

"Brother Lin, can we have dinner together tonight?" Chen Lingling said, suddenly she didn’t want to do anything else but be with Brother Lin. With Brother Lin, nothing else mattered.

Of course, dinner meant more than just eating...

This was the reason Lin Fan couldn’t kiss her; he knew if he took this step, Chen Lingling would lose focus on the movie, and she would regret it afterward.

"No, I have things to do tonight." Lin Fan said.

Chen Lingling was startled, Brother Lin rejected her?

Lin Fan smiled: "For now, focus on your movie. I’ll wait for you until the day your movie is released..."

Chen Lingling responded with an "Mhmm," seemingly understanding Brother Lin’s good intentions a little.

But Brother Lin was so bad; if not now, why tease her earlier, leaving her mind wandering, so bad!

She didn’t know Lin Fan was momentarily impulsive, holding back had been tough enough.

"How about you report the movie’s progress to me?" Lin Fan changed the topic.

"Okay." Chen Lingling then began to report on the work of the past few days, finally pressing down the thoughts stirred up by Lin Fan.

In the past few days, the movie project has been steadily advancing. Chen Lingling was mainly polishing the script and starting various negotiations, such as today’s collaboration talks with Wan Guang.

"We need Wan Guang’s special effects technology. Domestically, Wan Guang is the only choice, that’s why they’re confident, but their price is too high. I think it’s unreasonable. They won’t compromise, so if we’re unwilling to pay this price, essentially the negotiations will fail." Chen Lingling said.

The hardest obstacle for her at the moment was tackling the hard bone of Wan Guang.

Lin Fan said, "What price do you plan to offer?"

Chen Lingling said, "Half of Wan Guang’s offer. I’ve researched the market; this price is more reasonable."

Lin Fan laughed, "This girl is helping me save money."

Chen Lingling’s face turned red: "Of course, I don’t want to waste Brother Lin’s money. Even though he says he doesn’t mind spending, saving is still better. Brother Lin’s money doesn’t grow on trees."

Lin Fan found it amusing; his money was indeed as if it grew on trees.

Lin Fan said, "Don’t worry, Wan Guang won’t dare ask for this price now."

Chen Lingling said with curiosity, "Ah right, Brother Lin, you still haven’t answered me, why is President Zhang suddenly so afraid of you?"

Lin Fan said, "Do you know Tianxue Entertainment, do you know Du Tao?"

Chen Lingling shook her head: "I don’t know. I usually like anime and rarely pay attention to entertainment gossip."

Lin Fan sweatdropped: "To put it simply, Tianxue Entertainment is one of the giants in the entertainment industry, and Du Tao is the president of Tianxue Entertainment, considered a big figure in the industry."

Chen Lingling responded with an "Oh," even more puzzled: "With such a strong backing, why would they be afraid of Brother Lin?"

Lin Fan smiled: "Because I am the boss of Tianxue Entertainment, Du Tao’s superior."

Chen Lingling let out an "Ah," surprised with her mouth wide open.
