Chapter 362: Do You Have Shit for Brains? Threatening a Lawyer?

Their eyes went wide as they saw this, and they exchanged a look.

They could both see the potent mix of surprise and embarrassment in each other’s eyes.

They were surprised because it turned out Wei Luyao already had a boyfriend—and it was the handsome guy from just now.

The reason for their embarrassment was self-evident.

As two single women, being hit with such a public display of affection the moment they stepped out made them instinctively turn and retreat in perfect unison.

RING~

Just then, Chen Mo’s phone rang. It was a call from Old Zhang.

Chen Mo had already taken his hand off her head. Now, it was Wei Luyao who had her arms wrapped tightly around his neck.

Hearing the phone ring, she let go of her slender arms, her pretty face flushing red.

“Hello?”

Chen Mo smiled and glanced at her as he answered the phone.

“Chen Mo, I’m having the director transferred off this show. That little prick has also quit.”

“I’m making them give your girlfriend a proper apology. If she feels they aren’t sincere enough, just tell her to reject it. They’ll find a way to be more sincere.”

“Chen Mo, I’m at the Shenzhen headquarters right now and can’t come over. Next time I’m in Modu, I’ll treat you and your girlfriend to a meal. I’m sorry about what happened this time.”

Old Zhang briefly explained the outcome to Chen Mo, adding that he would make the director and his nephew apologize to Wei Luyao.

“Okay, thanks, Brother Zhang.”

Hearing this, Chen Mo smiled and thanked him.

Old Zhang hadn’t been aware of the situation, and he dealt with it the moment he found out.

He had even offered to treat them to dinner in Modu as an apology. There was really nothing more to ask for.

Naturally, Chen Mo wouldn’t hold a grudge. That would just be petty.

“I should be the one thanking you. In the future, if your girlfriend runs into any more trouble on the show, just tell me directly. I’d like to see who else would be so bold.”

Old Zhang said to Chen Mo in a very serious tone.

He really did have to thank Chen Mo.

It was a good thing Chen Mo was an acquaintance. Otherwise, if Chen Mo had exposed this online, the show would have been finished.

Who was Chen Mo?

The recent recipient of the Outstanding Contribution Award. Even reporters from Modu News had gone to his company for an interview.

And what happened? The girlfriend of the Outstanding Contribution Award recipient joins their show, only to be threatened with elimination by the director’s nephew if she won’t play along with a publicity stunt romance.

The moment this got out on the internet, it would instantly go viral.

The reputation of their classic IP show would be completely ruined. Forget about finishing this season, they wouldn’t be able to film any future seasons either.

This IP would be completely dead.

And as for buying Chen Mo’s silence? How much money would that even take?

Was a man like Chen Mo short on cash?

The fact that Chen Mo called him directly showed he was giving him face and not blowing the situation out of proportion.

That’s why he blew up at the director and also had to thank Chen Mo.

“No need to say all that. Would I make things difficult for you and Brother Tang?”

Chen Mo understood his meaning and shook his head with a smile.

This show was a co-production between Tang Tianyu’s company and Old Zhang’s platform.

As long as the matter was handled properly, he had no intention of escalating it.

“Don’t worry. I guarantee that if your girlfriend wants to become an influencer or a content creator, I will definitely provide resources to boost her.”

Old Zhang knew he owed Chen Mo another favor, so he promised some resources.

“Alright, thanks.”

Chen Mo turned to look at Wei Luyao, who was leaning on his shoulder, and nodded with a smile.

If she really wanted to become a content creator or an influencer lawyer, the resources from Old Zhang would be a huge help.

After exchanging a few more words, Chen Mo hung up.

“The director and his nephew will apologize to you in a bit. If you’re not satisfied, don’t accept it. They’ll apologize again.”

“If you are satisfied, just accept whatever compensation they offer you, no matter what it is or how much.”

“Oh, right. You should talk to Aunt Zhao and see if him threatening you for that publicity stunt romance constitutes any kind of legal violation.”

Chen Mo gently pinched her flawless cheek and told her about the impending apology.

He also told her that if they offered her compensation, she should just accept it as long as she was satisfied.

And he told her to talk to Zhao Yalan.

After all, threatening someone is one thing, but threatening an intern lawyer? They really have no respect for her profession.

“Mhm.”

Hearing this, Wei Luyao nodded obediently.

She knew very well that on this matter, she should just follow Chen Mo’s lead.

Chen Mo had clearly been on the phone with some important person, discussing this very issue.

Everything had already been arranged. All she had to do was follow his instructions.

“Go on. We’ll get dinner together after work.”

Chen Mo patted her head affectionately.

“Okay.”

After giving Chen Mo a peck on the cheek, Wei Luyao went to Lawyer Zhao’s office.

…

Meanwhile, in a small conference room at Chengli Law Firm.

“Uncle, why did you say I was suddenly seriously ill? And why are you making me quit the show?”

Liu Yufan demanded of Liu Wenbin, his tone laced with anger.

“You’re asking me? Do you have any idea what kind of stupid shit you’ve pulled? Thanks to you, I’ve lost my job as the chief director!”

“If your grandfather wasn’t my own father, I’d send you to reunite with him right now!”

Seeing that Liu Yufan still had the gall to question him, Liu Wenbin flew into a rage, pointing a finger in his nephew’s face and letting loose a torrent of curses.

“What did I do?”

Having a finger shoved in his face while being thoroughly chewed out, Liu Yufan’s expression turned foul.

He stared at Liu Wenbin in shock. ‘He lost his job as chief director?’

“You saw a pretty girl, wanted to set up a publicity romance, and when she refused, you used my name to threaten her?”

“Threaten to eliminate her if she doesn’t agree? Who the hell do you think you are, the Celestial King? You think you can just kick off whoever you want?”
