"Director, that... Mr. Xu... Mr. Xu is here..." The assistant glanced at Liu Xiaorou and Cheng Yibin opposite him, then hesitated and spoke.
"Xu Tao?" Parker frowned.
Liu Xiaorou and Cheng Yibin looked at each other and frowned.
"Yes."
"What's he doing here?" Parker asked.
The assistant coughed awkwardly and replied, "He said... he came here to sign the contract..."
Before Parker could say anything, Cheng Yibin on the other side laughed out loud, "Sign? What can he sign with?"
"I saw that he came with a female artist." The assistant replied.
"Female artist, which female artist?" Liu Xiaorou asked tentatively.
She couldn't remember any other artists under Xu Tao who were worth mentioning.
"The other person was wearing a mask and sunglasses. I don't know who he is. Could he be a newcomer under his command?" the assistant guessed.
Cheng Yibin snorted angrily, "This drunkard must have drunk his way out of his mind. He actually brought someone here and forced them to sign a contract? What does he think this place is?"
Liu Xiaorou showed a sad look on her face, "Brother Tao is probably still unhappy about my leaving..."
Cheng Yibin's face was dark. "Unhappy, how dare he be unhappy? Xiaorou, you are such a good seedling, but he has delayed you until now. If you had come to Xinghui earlier, you would have been famous a long time ago. Why would you have suffered so much and wasted such a good age in vain!"
Liu Xiaorou pursed her lips, a bit of resentment showing on her face.
She wholeheartedly believed that she was where she is today entirely because of herself, and under Cheng Yibin's constant brainwashing, she became even more convinced of this. She blamed Xu Tao and Sheng Shi for dragging her down, but she never thought that if Xu Tao hadn't discovered her, she might never have made a breakthrough in her life with her conditions.
Parker was also very dissatisfied with Xu Tao's unreasonable behavior. His face was slightly gloomy and he said, "Go and ask him to leave. Tell him that I have decided to sign a contract with Miss Liu."
"Okay." The assistant nodded. Because Xu Tao had just stuffed him with a big red envelope, he casually added, "By the way, Director, Mr. Xu asked me to bring you a message. He said..."
"What did he say?" Parker asked nonchalantly.
"He said that if you insist on signing a contract with Miss Liu, you will lose your only chance to surpass SS." The assistant replied.
The moment the assistant finished speaking, Parker's expression changed suddenly.
As a top international brand, SS is LD's biggest competitor in China. Almost every year, LD's sales are suppressed by SS. As the director of the China region, he is criticized in various ways during every meeting. This year, he was given a death order to surpass SS.
However, this year's SS spokesperson is Han Zixuan, the most popular actress in China. No matter who he finds, it is impossible to surpass Han Zixuan, so he was persuaded by Xu Tao and decided to take another approach and chose Liu Xiaorou.
But now, Xu Tao, who had personally persuaded him at the beginning, told him that if he chose to sign a contract with Liu Xiaorou, he would lose his only chance to surpass SS. Such contradictory words.
Seeing Parker's expression was not right, Cheng Yibin hurriedly said, "Director Parker, don't listen to that guy's nonsense. He is just saying this to provoke you because he is at his wit's end! What do you mean by losing the only chance to surpass SS? Can you surpass SS by signing a contract with him? It's just a pipe dream!"
