Chapter 446: Snatching People From My Hands

"During this time, you had better behave yourself!"

"If I catch you again, whatever you do, you're in trouble!"

Su Manyao clenched her fists and warned her brother, while Su Peng raised his hand to cover his head, looking helpless.

Upon hearing Su Manyao's words, he immediately nodded, his eyes showing a hint of anticipation.

"I know, sis. Don't worry, I'll definitely behave, and I won't cause you any more trouble."

After he finished speaking, his gaze fell on Su Manyao, then he turned to look at Jiang Cheng, thought for a moment, and then he proactively went up to Jiang Cheng and said,

"Big brother, do you think this matter can be easily resolved? If it's not easy, what should we do? That company previously made all sorts of extravagant promises."

He had already believed the other party's nonsense, which is why he signed the contract so readily, but he didn't expect there to be a trap.

Just thinking about it makes him feel annoyed; right now he simply doesn't know what to do.

Jiang Cheng heard the other's inquiry, lowered his head to look at the person in front of him, and could naturally see his panic.

"Alright, don't worry here. The two of us will go check it out; if there's any problem, we'll let you know sooner."

Jiang Cheng didn't say more, just reached out and patted the other's shoulder.

After saying that, they went out together with Su Manyao. Walking on the road, Su Manyao looked worriedly at Jiang Cheng and said thoughtfully,

"If we go see them now, will they agree? They might even make even more excessive demands."

Just thinking about it, Su Manyao felt like beating her brother to death.

"Otherwise, let him stay at that company; it's just a few decades, from youth to old age."

Su Manyao thought he could endure it, and Jiang Cheng saw Su Manyao trying to stay composed.

He couldn't help but laugh and say,

"What do you have to be stubborn about now? You're speaking lightly now, but when your brother actually suffers, can you really pretend to know nothing?"

Upon hearing Jiang Cheng's question, Su Manyao immediately behaved herself.

He really can't; thinking about his brother possibly being deceived by these entertainment companies and having his life delayed,

Su Manyao really wanted to go straight to those entertainment companies and negotiate with them properly.

Jiang Cheng had more connections, so he immediately started making calls one after another.

When Jiang Cheng got in the car, he finally found the phone number of that company's boss.

After Jiang Cheng found the number, he quickly dialed it, and the other end rang several times.

Then a young, alluring voice answered.

"May I ask who you're looking for?"

"Hello, I'm Jiang Cheng, Su Peng's brother. I heard he said he signed a contract with you today—is that true?"

Jiang Cheng kept his voice as calm as possible, while Su Manyao held her breath and listened intently to the person on the other end.

That person hesitated for a moment, then recalled the sound of flipping through documents, and soon nodded.

But after a while, several muffled voices came from the other end, unclear what they were doing.

Jiang Cheng furrowed his brow, raised his voice, and directly shouted at the boss on the other end.

"I heard the person in charge of this company is Boss Zhou Xin Qiao."

"Otherwise, please have Boss Zhou Xin Qiao talk to me; my brother can't go to your company because he's already been committed to our company."

"Tch, you say it's settled, it's settled since you've settled with him, so why did he turn around and sign with our company?"

That alluring female voice disappeared, and what came through instead was a middle-aged man's voice.

The middle-aged man seemed quite dissatisfied with what Jiang Cheng said.

"You tell me, what does this mean?"

"You just signed the contract today and now want to back out? It's not that easy!"

"I know the industry rules, and I understand you just signed a newcomer, so naturally you're unwilling to let go easily."

"But I have something I can offer in exchange; if there were nothing, I naturally wouldn't bring this up."

Jiang Cheng's tone was calm as he slowly revealed his bargaining chips to the other side.

The middle-aged man on the other end finally stopped complaining.

He seemed very interested in the bargaining chips Jiang Cheng held.

After a while, he finally stepped back and agreed to Jiang Cheng's request.

"Alright then, come to our company and we'll have a good talk."

"However, I think highly of this newcomer Su Peng; if I don't like the chips you have, I certainly won't trade him away."

Jiang Cheng didn't mind the other's reminder.

He hung up the phone and noticed Su Manyao beside him looking at him.

Su Manyao's eyes were filled with guilt; he silently lowered his head, staying beside Jiang Cheng, and then softly said,

"This whole thing is my fault."

"Sorry, having such a clueless brother—I should have given him a good scolding when I got back."

Su Manyao felt terrible after hearing Jiang Cheng's earlier conversation with that middle-aged man, but Jiang Cheng tried to console her.

"What's the point of thinking so much now? As long as we can get him to see us, that's enough."

"Not being able to find people is what should worry them."

Now that Zhou Xin Qiao has agreed to meet, Jiang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems there's still room for maneuver; Zhou Xin Qiao hasn't got a sure hold on Su Peng.

"Let's go over there and talk properly; no matter what resources they want, we'll just make up for them on our side."

Jiang Cheng gently comforted Su Manyao; she nodded and silently noted what Jiang Cheng had mentioned.

Half an hour later, they arrived at Zhou Xin Qiao's entertainment company.

Upon entering the entertainment company's main gate, Su Manyao personally rushed into the chaos of this entertainment company.

When they entered the company, the front desk had disappeared.

Other people in the company looked at them with curious eyes.

Although Jiang Cheng and Su Manyao had blank expressions, their gaze toward Jiang Cheng still couldn't hide their gossipy desire.

Such a situation is uncommon in other entertainment companies.

The more Su Manyao looked, the more she felt that the place her brother had chosen was utterly brainless.

Moreover, it forced Jiang Cheng to come here for a trip; Su Manyao now wishes she could give her brother a good beating.

Jiang Cheng, on the other hand, remained very calm; regardless of what scene he saw, he just kept going upstairs.

Soon, they arrived at Zhou Xin Qiao's office; the office door was wide open.

As soon as they entered, Zhou Xin Qiao's secretary had already stood up, having prepared tea for them.

Zhou Xin Qiao had a cheerful face, but when he looked over at Jiang Cheng and them...

Yet his gaze carried a hint of nonchalance.

"You two want to snatch people from under my hand; don't you understand the rules a bit?"

"If that's the case, tell me what chips you have in hand; but if I'm not satisfied with the value of those chips, then you..."

He stopped mid-sentence and didn't continue.

But everyone present could understand his meaning. (End of chapter)
