After My Divorce I Picked Up the Richest Boss in the World - Chapter 109

Chapter 109: Suppression

Over the past few days, the online public opinion had already warmed up for “The afterlife” and Director Zheng had officially started preparing for the actual filming.

Lighting, video, editing, and so on, almost all the hardware had been finalized, but the special effects team had not made a final decision yet.

“The Afterlife” required heavy usage of computer-generated imagery and virtual characters, so special effects were particularly important.

HB was one of the earliest special effects companies in the country. More than ten years of experience had allowed them to stand at the top of the industry, all while hiring new blood on a timely basis. They had kept themselves updated with the latest technology and techniques, allowing them to remain at the top.

In order to achieve the best visual effects in the movie, Jiang Zhi had personally invited the HB team. However, the day before the contract was signed, Jiang Zhi suddenly received a call from the person-in-charge.

“Director Jiang, as much as I appreciate your script, your company isn’t exactly the most reliable at the moment. I can’t let HB’s long legacy be ruined because of you. Therefore, I’m afraid we simply cannot work with you!”

After the person-in-charge finished speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for Jiang Zhi’s response.

Jiang Zhi listened to the busy tone from the other side, and her face was so gloomy that it seemed like dark ink was going to drip out.

She immediately asked someone to investigate, only to find out that it was Yan Zhang’s handiwork!

After Yan Zhang learned that Jiang Zhi was going to entrust the special effects to HB, he directly went to the person in charge of HB and hired them to make special effects for the upcoming movie of Swallowtail Entertainment at a price twice that of Star Glory. He also tried his best to tarnish the reputation of Star Glory.

Rumors from unspoken rules between male artistes and female managers, climbing into the bed of famous directors to secure projects, and so on…

In Jiang Zhi’s opinion, Yan Zhang was simply trying to suppress her. Swallowtail did not even have any ongoing projects that required CGI!

The Internet once again made a fuss about “The Afterlife” and its failure to secure HB as a partner.

The article also mentioned stuff like how “The Afterlife” had encountered a major problem just before filming. It was bound to be plagued by more problems along the line, and may even have trouble being successfully completed.

“The Afterlife” was at the peak of its popularity. When such an article was published, it immediately attracted everyone’s attention, and most of them followed the waves.

When Jiang Zhi saw the news, she was extremely angry. She did not even need to use her brain to know that this was definitely Yan Zhang’s doing behind the scenes!

The more Jiang Zhi thought about it, the angrier she got. She drove straight to the bar that Yan Zhang often appeared at, and as expected, she stopped the bastard at the door.

“Yan Zhang, what on earth are you trying to do?!”

Jiang Zhi strode over to Yan Zhang angrily with her long legs.

Yan Zhang had never seen Jiang Zhi in such a vivid mood. She was like a blooming rose, beautiful and moving. He felt an evil fire rising from his lower abdomen, so he opened his mouth without thinking.

“Jiang Zhi, as long as you and I remarry, we can pool our resources together. If Swallowtail and Star Glory join hands, we will definitely occupy half of the entertainment industry.”

“Don’t even think about it!”

Jiang Zhi turned around and was about to leave, but Yan Zhang grabbed her arm from behind. Just as she was about to shake him off, she felt a strong gust of wind quickly pass by her ear, and Yan Zhang was sent flying.

“Lu Mian? Why are you here?”

Jiang Zhi could not help but cry out in surprise when she saw who it was.

Lu Mian’s face darkened. He did not look at Yan Zhang’s prone body, neither did he turn to look at her. He just held Jiang Zhi’s hand and strode forward.

Jiang Zhi followed him, staggering. However, when they reached the alley at the corner, she bumped into Lu Mian who suddenly stopped.

Before Jiang Zhi could speak, Lu Mian pressed her against the wall. Some rough kisses came at her face, almost taking her breath away. It took a long time before the assault relented.

Jiang Zhi had never seen such an oppressive Lu Mian. She caressed Lu Mian’s face and said helplessly, “Lu Mian, are you angry?”

Lu Mian put his head on Jiang Zhi’s shoulder. He had lost his mind just now… but he could not control himself. He just wanted to take Jiang Zhi into his body. He would never allow anyone to covet her!

He knew that Yan Zhang had looked at Jiang Zhi with the lustful gaze of a man. That was why he had lost control.

“Zhi Zhi, I’m sorry, but… you’re mine.”

Lu Mian sounded troubled. He nibbled on her neck as if he wanted to mark his territory.

“Yes… I’m yours. I went to look for Yan Zhang just now because he stole the special effects team and smeared my company! You know me very well, how could I tolerate that?”

Jiang Zhi raised her hand to caress his back and comforted him while explaining the reason why she had gone to look for Yan Zhang.

As Jiang Zhi was explaining, Lu Mian covered her lips with a shallow kiss and quickly interrupted her.

“Let Cheng Yi handle this. He has his ways.” Lu Mian’s blue eyes were full of pain as he looked at Jiang Zhi. “Zhi Zhi, I’m jealous.”

Jiang Zhi was slightly stunned. She did not expect Lu Mian to seize the opportunity and kiss her deeply…
