228: Chapter 228 Same Conditions

Chen Shaoping rested his head in one hand and glanced at the two patients nearby. Only after confirming they weren't listening closely to Xu Yali's words did he feel relieved.

Inwardly, he grumbled that this 'Tiger Girl' was truly reckless, daring to say anything out loud.

However, this Tiger Girl—who usually spoke so bluntly, lacked refinement, and even said embarrassing things—had actually never been in a relationship.

This was something Chen Shaoping hadn't expected.

Zhang Ying gave her a gentle pat and comforted her in a low voice, "It's okay. We all know you didn't want this to happen."

"What did the doctor say?"

Xu Yali's emotions calmed slightly. Just as some color returned to her face, a snot bubble popped out at a most inopportune moment.

"President Chen, help me get some tissues."

Chen Shaoping pulled a few tissues from the bedside and handed them to her with a look of disgust.

"Thank you!"

*Snort!*

Xu Yali blew her nose, making a loud sound.

Then, as if it were only natural, she tried to hand the used tissues back to Chen Shaoping. "President Chen, sorry to trouble you, but please throw these in the trash can."

Chen Shaoping's forehead was covered in black lines as he refused, "Throw them away yourself. Do you not have hands or feet?"

"I just saw that you were closer to the trash can, it's just a small favor," Xu Yali grumbled, dissatisfied.

Chen Shaoping retorted, "You're asking your boss to throw away your snotty tissues? Are you getting too big for your boots, or do you think I can't swing a blade anymore?"

Xu Yali glanced at him, flicked her wrist, and the tissues flew in a perfect arc, landing right in the trash can.

"Hmph! Better to rely on oneself than to ask others."

"Where's my blade?" Chen Shaoping was fuming.

"Alright, Da Ping, stop talking. Is there no end to this?" Zhang Ying spoke up, then looked back at Xu Yali.

Xu Yali said seriously, "Sister Ying, the doctor said my skin is allergic. Whether or not I'll be permanently disfigured depends on the effect of the medication over the next two days."

"That's why I'm so worried."

"Don't worry. Listen to the doctor and take the treatment slowly; you'll get better."

"Mm-hmm-hmm!"

Seeing that the two were mostly finished talking, Chen Shaoping chimed in, "Yali, when you bought this product, did you join any chat groups or anything like that?"

Xu Yali turned serious. "Yes. I learned about it through my Moments. Seeing so many celebrities using it, I believed it was real."

"I even wanted to try the effects myself before immediately becoming an agent for it. I never expected it to turn out like this."

"Keep all your examination reports, medical records, and medication logs safe. I'll have a use for them."

Chen Shaoping instructed her, then added, "When I tell you to, post all of these things into the group."

Xu Yali looked a bit hesitant, stammering, "I was kicked out. When I realized the skincare product was toxic, I gave them a piece of my mind in the group, and then I was kicked out."

"Find a way to get back in. The more groups you join, the better. Also, contact more people in those groups to see if anyone else has suffered like you."

"What are you going to do, President Chen?"

Chen Shaoping straightened his back, looking righteous and determined as he said, "Zhang Tingting dared to use fake products to harm my employee. Just watch how I deal with her to get revenge for you!"

Seeing his imposing figure, Xu Yali was instantly moved to tears. She lunged forward and threw herself onto Chen Shaoping's shoulder.

"Thank you, President Chen! President Chen, you're so handsome!"

Chen Shaoping initially thought his act was going quite well, but he suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Xu Yali, you brat! Don't wipe your snot on my clothes..."

Chen Shaoping's howling echoed through the hospital ward.

On the way back to the company, Zhang Ying was still covering her mouth and giggling.

"That's enough, Darling. You've laughed enough; stop while you're ahead." Chen Shaoping had a dark expression.

"Hubby, cheer up. Yali didn't do it on purpose. At least she's happy now," Zhang Ying advised.

"If she didn't do it on purpose, I'll write my name backward. Just wait until she's recovered; I'll show her. Once we're back at the company, I'll tell Wu Xiaoli to dock her salary."

"If you dock her salary, she'll chase you around all day. Do you believe me?"

"I believe it. That Tiger Girl is definitely capable of that."

As soon as he sat down at the company, Li Qian walked in with two women.

If it weren't to meet them, Chen Shaoping would have really preferred to go home and sleep.

Today, everything felt off.

"President Chen, sorry to disturb you!" Su Xiaoxiao smiled.

She had brought her top star, Zhao Liying, to Tongxing Entertainment Company and waited for an hour before seeing Chen Shaoping.

She couldn't help but sigh inwardly. They were both bosses, yet why was there such a huge difference?

He didn't even need to come to the office, while she had to personally go out to seek collaborations.

"President Su, you're always welcome to 'disturb' us. Please, both of you, have a seat." Chen Shaoping was very polite.

"Hello, Teacher Young Master Ping. I am Zhao Liying."

Zhao Liying wasn't tall. Her long hair was tied in a simple ponytail, and her makeup was minimal.

She looked very clean and quiet.

"I know. The popular star of Lemon Media. The internet says you're the one holding up all of Lemon Media on your own."

"Are you interested in joining our Tongxing Entertainment Company?"

Chen Shaoping gave a sly smile, sounding as if he were joking, yet also serious.

Su Xiaoxiao laughed it off and teased, "President Chen, poaching someone right in front of me? That's not very nice, is it?"

If she didn't have absolute confidence in Zhao Liying, she would have really had to reconsider.

Although Tongxing Entertainment wasn't large yet, its artists were all profitable 'hot commodities'.

Many artists were envious.

"Poaching should naturally be done to one's face."

"I wouldn't engage in the immoral behavior of contacting someone privately."

Chen Shaoping's words made everyone laugh, instantly easing the tense atmosphere.

Zhao Liying only smiled softly, not as exaggeratedly as the others.

"President Su, is there something specific you came to see me about today?" Chen Shaoping suddenly asked.

Su Xiaoxiao stopped laughing and said seriously, "I saw the video of the production commencement ceremony for Yang Mi's new drama and know that the screenwriter is Teacher Young Master Ping."

"So I specifically brought Liying here, hoping that Teacher Young Master Ping could create a script specifically for her."

"The compensation is negotiable."

With a meaningful smile on his face, Chen Shaoping said calmly, "I can. However, President Su, are you sure you can meet the requirements I'll set?"

Su Xiaoxiao had only come to give it a try. Now that Chen Shaoping had agreed so readily, she actually felt a bit uncertain.

She was afraid Chen Shaoping would just pull out any random script to fool them.

Moreover, Chen Shaoping's expression and tone made her feel that it certainly wouldn't be cheap.

"What are your conditions? Please go ahead, President Chen," Su Xiaoxiao asked, bracing herself.

"Give me 5 million. I'll handle the script's operation, and the resulting profits will be split 60-40 in my favor." Chen Shaoping spoke seriously, not looking like he was joking at all.

Su Xiaoxiao and Zhao Liying gasped, their smiles instantly stiffening.

Only Li Qian knew that these conditions were exactly the same as the ones given to Yang Mi.

Li Qian watched Su Xiaoxiao's fluctuating expression with great interest, wondering how this female president, known for her shrewdness, would choose.
