Fortunately, Fang Miaomiao behaved herself after entering the banquet, staying close behind me.
Thinking of this, Wang Jiahui let out a slight sigh of relief.
It was just tens of thousands of yuan, and it wouldn't be a loss for him to give it.
"Yo, President Wang, I haven't seen you in ages. What brings you to the party today?"
A portly man's eyes lit up as soon as he saw Wang Jiahui, and he approached with a glass of champagne.
"President Li, long time no see." Wang Jiahui also immediately went to greet him. "I've been too busy lately. As soon as I had some free time, we came right away."
They clinked glasses.
President Li's gaze then shifted, as if he had just noticed Fang Miaomiao. "And who is this?"
"Oh, this is our company's artist, Fang Miaomiao. President Li, if you don't mind, you can call her Miaomiao." Wang Jiahui stepped aside to stand level with Fang Miaomiao and said with a pleasant mood, "This is President Li from Strawberry Entertainment."
"Fang Miaomiao, Miaomiao. A nice name." President Li smiled and scrutinized Fang Miaomiao from head to toe. "Manager Wang, your company's future is limitless."
Wang Jiahui smiled knowingly. "Not at all, not at all. My Miaomiao still needs a lot of guidance from President Li."
"You're too kind. I, for one, especially like to guide sensible people. When people are sensible, everything is easy to discuss."
"Of course, of course. Our Miaomiao is good at everything, just a bit shy."
Saying this, Wang Jiahui quickly turned his head to look at Fang Miaomiao, a warning glint in his eyes.
"This child, President Li likes you so much, why aren't you offering him a drink? What are you shy about?"
"President Li." Fang Miaomiao gave a brilliant smile. "I'm not feeling well today, so this drink might be difficult to refuse."
She wasn't stupid. A portly man, surnamed Li, wasn't this the person in the book who had harmed the original owner? She had come to find evidence, but that didn't mean she had to hand over control.
In the book, this banquet was not a good one, and after it ended, there were reports of illegal activities. It even affected the October Hotel for a long time afterward.
"Fang Miaomiao." Wang Jiahui called out meaningfully.
"Manager Wang, what are you doing? If a good child doesn't want to drink, she shouldn't drink. You're making me seem uncivilized." President Li said with a hint of displeasure to Wang Jiahui, in a rather gentlemanly manner.
The words sounded gentlemanly, and someone with no sense would have been fooled, thinking that President Li, despite his appearance, was different from these people.
Of course, this was under the condition that President Li didn't look at others with those greasy eyes.
"Miaomiao, you go play over there. There's more fun on the second floor. I'll have a good chat with your President Wang."
"Okay, goodbye, President Li." Fang Miaomiao nodded obediently and then left.
She looked around for a moment and then went upstairs, finding a relatively quiet spot where she could see the entire scene on the first floor.
Within a few minutes, Wang Jiahui and President Li came upstairs and entered a room.
Fang Miaomiao bit her teeth lightly, thought for a moment, and then followed them.
"How is the matter progressing?"
"Don't worry, President Li. You'll be satisfied this time. I've already arranged with the hotel staff. All you have to do is turn on your computer, and you'll have control over everyone present."
"Well done, Manager Wang. As expected, you are efficient." President Li smiled and took a sip of wine. "I certainly didn't misjudge you."
"Mutual benefit, mutual benefit." Wang Jiahui said modestly. "This time, if it weren't for the help of the October Hotel, I probably wouldn't have had the ability to do it."
"Don't worry, you won't be shortchanged later."
"By the way, President Li, about Fang Miaomiao, what are your intentions?"
"Fang Miaomiao is a good one, excellent. I'm very satisfied." President Li's mind conjured up Fang Miaomiao's fair, radiant face, her skin as delicate as a peach. She was a stunner, and he liked her very much.
However, she was still backed by the Wen family, and he couldn't easily get his hands on her. This was the main reason why he hadn't chosen to force Fang Miaomiao to drink at the beginning.
After all, offending the Wen family would bring him no good.
"Then, President Li, what are your intentions?" Hearing this, a more obvious sinister smile appeared on Wang Jiahui's face. "President Li, if you're worried about the Wen family behind her, you can rest assured."
"Oh?" President Li leaned back on the sofa, asking with interest, "What do you mean, Manager Wang?"
"According to reliable information I've obtained, the Wen family behind Fang Miaomiao treats her as if she were invisible."
"Manager Wang, one can eat anything, but one cannot speak carelessly."
"President Li, we all know that Fang Miaomiao is backed by the Wen family. If I didn't have absolute confidence, would I have brought Fang Miaomiao to this banquet?" Wang Jiahui had the expression of 'President Li, you should understand'. "Moreover, those two women, Xu Jiajia and Wang Qing, have already started preparing to deal with Fang Miaomiao."
Saying this, a hint of tension flashed in Wang Jiahui's eyes. That person had made it imperative for him to complete this task today.
If he failed, he dared not imagine the consequences.
"Are you sure?" President Li was lost in thought and didn't notice Wang Jiahui's tension. "That's interesting."
"Of course, President Li. We're on the same side now. Is there any reason for me to lie to you?"
Under Wang Jiahui's 'persuasion with reason and emotion,' President Li stroked his fat chin and slowly nodded. "How do you plan to do it?"
"Before we came in, I managed to put a type of medicine on Fang Miaomiao's arm when she wasn't paying attention. That medicine, upon contact with water, will activate its properties and make Fang Miaomiao fall into a deep sleep. At that time, we just need to get a waiter to accidentally splash some water on Fang Miaomiao's arm."
"Then, President Li's wish will naturally come true." Wang Jiahui said with a sly smile. "President Li, what do you think?"
President Li looked at Wang Jiahui expressionlessly.
This look made the smile on Wang Jiahui's face freeze.
Before he could think anything, President Li patted Wang Jiahui's shoulder with satisfaction. "Well done. Later, I'll send a few scripts to your company."
"President Li is generous." Wang Jiahui said joyfully.
In the past few years since he took over the entertainment company, the company's performance had been declining. Many artists had chosen to leave after their contracts expired. If it weren't for Fang Yanhuan's fame, plus Fang Miaomiao, that great sucker, his company would have already declared bankruptcy.
Unbeknownst to them, their conversation had been completely overheard by Fang Miaomiao outside.
She let out a scoff, saved the recording, and turned to go downstairs.
She thought it would take her a long time to find evidence, but she didn't expect them to be so brazen and openly blatant.
However, she remembered that the October Hotel was owned by the Wen Corporation. Should she inform Wen Zhiyan?
After all, the scandal that broke out later concerning this hotel, although it didn't cause the Wen Corporation to fall from grace, still caused its stock to drop to near an all-time low.
