The Side Character's Hidden Boss! Chapter 170 - Power Struggle

Chapter 170 - Power Struggle

To be honest, Qiao Qing didn't want to do this at all. That day, she went along with Mo Li because she hoped Ferdinand would end up choosing her over Mo Li. However, things didn't go that way. Everyone praised Mo Li, either for her beauty or for her grace. They all said that Mo Li had a bright future ahead of her.

Whenever Qiao Qing heard these claims, her heart would burn with hatred. Her nails would sink into her palms. No matter the situation, or the venue, as long as Mo Li was around, no one would pay attention to Qiao Qing anymore.

Mo Yi's face turned up with surprise and then satisfaction when he saw Qiao Qing stand up for Mo Li. This is what good sisters should be like.

Old Madam Mo caught the expression on her silly son's face and she rolled her eyes. Did I eat something wrong during my pregnancy? How can my son be so dumb to not see through this girl's act? She is clearly trying to win favors here.

Nie Li? He Sen's expression froze. No wonder I didn't know anything, this is related to the crazy woman as well.

Originally He Sen thought the woman was on his side but many times, she had saved Zhan Hai from imminent danger. Furthermore Nie Li didn't mention a single word about Mo Li to him at all and had dragged Mo Li to Zhan Hai's camp. This meant that Zhan Hai had a model who could bring in Ferdinand's resource, this was not a good development for He Sen. His future and standing at Huan Yu would be seriously threatened.

Mo Yi moved to calm Qiao Qing. "Old Madam Xu, we have invited you here today to enjoy the party. However, we do not suffer any troublemaker. You shouldn't be so pointedly aggressive towards your junior. It's unbecoming of you."

Old Madam Xu initially wanted to spin more yarn about the shady dealing between Mo Li and Ferdinand but after Qiao Qing said her piece, Old Madam Xu was stumped. Her searching eyes went over to He Sen.

He Sen was too concerned with his own future to care about this old witch. Currently, Zhan Hai has Mo Li working under him, if I don't cultivate someone of Mo Li's standard on my side, then I'll slowly be squeezed out from the company. My situation will be even more dire.

However, it was not that easy to find a second Mo Li. The company's newest artists would naturally go through President Zhan Hai and Nie Li first. When the list reached He Sen, there were only leftovers.

Now that it had been clarified the kinds of the resource Mo Li carried, He Sen would be dumb to offend her for the sake of Old Madam Xu. Furthermore, recently He Sen was also in hot waters due to Zhuang Xin's death. Granted Nie Li was also in the same boat as he was, but Zhan Hai was still ruling Huan Yu Entertainment...

He Sen understood that Mo Li was exactly Zhan Hai's type. She was pretty and had a great figure. Even without the Mo Family's backing, Zhan Hai would be willing to invest in Mo Li if he could get something out of her. If Mo Li wanted to establish a foothold in the entertainment industry and commit herself to Zhan Hai, this was not something the Mo family could control. He Sen had to be exceptionally careful about this potential connection between Mo Li and Zhan Hai...

Old Madam Mo saw He Sen turn his eyes away and she couldn't believe it. She had lost to this little girl because of a mere endors.e.m.e.nt deal?

As unwilling as he was, He Sen hissed through his gritted teeth, "The revenue she brought to the company this season is 2 times the combined revenues of our 3 dramas."

He Sen understood he might lose Old Madam Xu as an investor but he could always find new investors.. However, if his ambitions were exposed to Zhan Hai, then the scheme he had been preparing for years would be for naught.
