Chapter 2379: Chapter 2190: Stay Away from the Young Lady
"Director Sun..."
"Stay away from the young lady, can’t you tell she finds you disgusting?" Sun Xuezhong pointed at Wang Xianfu and shouted.
Song Xiaodong and Deputy Mayor Han also stepped out from behind Sun Xuezhong.
"H-H-Han, Deputy Mayor Han?" Wang Xianfu was about to faint.
"Miss, about the naming-rights and broadcast, you can just talk to me. I’m the director of XX TV Station, my name is Sun Xuezhong." Sun Xuezhong said to Song Jiaren.
"Y-you’re Director Sun?" Song Jiaren stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
"Yes, this is my card. From now on, for the naming deal with Cuishengyuan Slimming Tea, you come directly to me!" Sun Xuezhong glared at Wang Xianfu, then spoke to Song Jiaren.
Song Jiaren dazedly took Sun Xuezhong’s business card, then turned her head to look at Song Xiaodong.
Song Xiaodong gave Song Jiaren a slight nod.
"You really are lawless and reckless. You got in here through connections, and on account of the former director I didn’t hold it against you, let you do variety shows. And what do you do? All day long you only think about pulling in sponsorships and skimming kickbacks. Want a little money, fine, but you even plan to bully a young girl? I swear you really are..." Sun Xuezhong was so furious he could barely speak.
"Old Sun, calm down, calm down. People like that, you just deal with them, don’t get worked up, don’t get worked up. We still have to go back and drink later!" Deputy Mayor Han stepped up to grab hold of Sun Xuezhong.
"Director, I was wrong! I won’t dare again!" Wang Xianfu walked up, reaching out to grab Sun Xuezhong’s hand.
"Get your hand off me! You make my skin crawl! Tomorrow go to HR and settle your pay!" Sun Xuezhong said to Wang Xianfu.
After hearing what Sun Xuezhong said, it was like a bucket of ice water had been poured over Wang Xianfu from head to toe.
"Director Sun! Please spare me this once! I’ll never dare again!" Wang Xianfu was practically in tears.
"Hmph, spare you? I spare you so you can keep ruining other girls? If I let you off once, you could destroy someone else’s whole life. How could I possibly let you off?" Sun Xuezhong glared at Wang Xianfu, whiskers bristling.
"I really know I was wrong, I truly won’t dare again!" Wang Xianfu begged bitterly.
"Hah, ’know you were wrong’? What I see is you just didn’t expect this, didn’t expect me to catch you, did you? Huh? Right now you apologize to this young lady!" Sun Xuezhong pointed at Wang Xianfu, then at Song Jiaren.
Song Jiaren was completely thrown by the sudden flip in Wang Xianfu’s attitude, her gaze went blank as she looked at Wang Xianfu and Sun Xuezhong, not knowing how to respond.
"Miss, what’s your name? I truly am sorry. For someone like Wang Xianfu to act so outrageously, it’s my failure as his leader. I apologize to you!" As he finished, Sun Xuezhong gave Song Jiaren a bow.
"Director Sun! Don’t, please!" Song Jiaren hurriedly stood up and helped support Sun Xuezhong.
"My name is Song Jiaren."
"Then that’s Miss Song. You, get over here and apologize to Miss Song!" Sun Xuezhong’s face changed faster than a Sichuan opera mask—still deferential in the first half to Song Jiaren, then darkening as he barked the second half at Wang Xianfu.
"Miss Song, I was wrong, I shouldn’t have done that, I apologize to you!" Wang Xianfu apologized to Song Jiaren.
After all, Song Jiaren worked the client side and had met all kinds of people; she was used to getting cold looks everywhere she went. But a client actually apologizing to her—this was the first time. She was so stunned she just stammered, not knowing what to say.
"People who exploit their position to line their own pockets and engage in sex-for-favor deals must be dealt with seriously!" Sun Xuezhong said to Deputy Mayor Han.
He was, in fact, making a statement to Deputy Mayor Han.
Deputy Mayor Han gave a light nod and said to Sun Xuezhong, "Since the matter’s already settled, shall we go back and continue drinking?"
Sun Xuezhong was still glaring furiously at Wang Xianfu, while Song Xiaodong said to Song Jiaren, "Come, have a couple of drinks with Deputy Mayor Han and Director Sun."
"Okay!" Song Jiaren nodded.
After glancing at Song Xiaodong and Song Jiaren, Sun Xuezhong let Wang Xianfu off the hook, and said to Deputy Mayor Han, "Then shall we continue?"
"Continue, continue!"
Deputy Mayor Han, Sun Xuezhong, Song Xiaodong and Song Jiaren all left the private room where Song Jiaren and Wang Xianfu had been eating, and went back to the room where Song Xiaodong’s group had been drinking earlier, reopening the table.
"Here, I’ll first toast Miss Song as a way of apologizing to her. It’s my responsibility that something like this happened, I admit my mistake!" Sun Xuezhong picked up his glass to drink with Song Jiaren.
"Director Sun, it’s okay. This kind of thing is pretty normal in the business-running circle." Song Jiaren said to Sun Xuezhong.
"In business, you negotiating is understandable. But we’re a TV station—how can we allow this? Just a lowly producer dares to act this lawlessly? Turning a decent circle into a filthy mess?" The more Sun Xuezhong thought about it, the angrier he got.
"All right, all right, you’ve had your drink, you’ve apologized, the deal’s already done. When you go back, just kick him out and that’s that. What are you still getting mad at him for?" Deputy Mayor Han tried to calm Sun Xuezhong.
"Miss Song, as for this Wang Xianfu, Director Sun will definitely deal with him strictly when we get back. The naming rights and broadcast of this show are authorized to you. How about that, Miss Song, are you satisfied?" Deputy Mayor Han spoke on behalf of Song Jiaren.
"Satisfied, satisfied!" Song Jiaren was so stunned she could only nod mechanically.
"Good. Director Sun, since Miss Song has said she won’t pursue it further, let’s drop this matter, all right?" Deputy Mayor Han persuaded Director Sun.
Director Sun’s chest was heaving violently; clearly he still hadn’t calmed down.
"Director Sun’s heart isn’t too good, he can’t afford to lose his temper. I hope you’ll understand, Miss Song." Deputy Mayor Han said to Song Jiaren.
