Chapter 1038: Too Shameful

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Secretary Zhou,” Pei Ziheng instructed his secretary. “Let Yun Yan go for this time’s City-Themed Commercial Show.”

“Chairman!” Li Bingyu was so anxious her expression changed. “I really know my wrong! I’ve prepared for this time’s themed commercial show, please let me go!” This was a large-scale commercial show held by S City to promote its image on the international stage. It held the close attention of the entire population. It was not only a matter of money to be able to join this show. Most importantly, it affirmed her class amongst the other celebrities! On the same stage stood only the Kings and Queens of the entertainment industry as well as cultural celebrities!

The people around were all silent. They all knew the importance of this commercial show. In the end, it was going to change ownership so quickly? Yun Yan and Li Bingyu had always been in a competitive relationship and had secretly competed for the title of Imperial Entertainment’s Big Sister. Originally, Yun Yan had been full of regret and hatred to have lost the fight for the city’s commercial show, but who was to know that things would take a new turn and Pei Ziheng would actually give her the opportunity now so casually? Some people who were enjoying the show now had already sent messages on WeChat to congratulate Yun Yan.

Li Bingyu looked at Pei Ziheng pleadingly, hoping that he would take back his order.

Ever since she debuted, she had always had the image of a high-profile, out-of-reach iceberg beauty. However, in order to obtain her commercial show, she had no choice but to bow her head down. “Chairman, there’s not much time left till the commercial show. Yun Yan won’t be ready enough and will damage Imperial Entertainment’s name! Just let me go!”

Pei Ziheng looked at her.

He had always been indifferent towards anger and joy, but the big stars who had been in the entertainment industry for a long time had long been used to trying to figure out his mind from his subtle expressions. Hence, from his expression now, Li Bingyu’s heart leaped in her throat—she had discovered that Pei Ziheng was already extremely impatient.

It’s over.

Li Bingyu’s expression was decrepit. She knew that she could not be redeemed.

Many people in the crowd took joy in her calamity. Li Bingyu had often used her big name to bully and oppress other people. At this moment, those people felt as if they had managed to blow off steam. Haha, Li Bingyu, you have your doomsday too?! Some who couldn’t suppress their joy was already covering their mouths and laughing.

Li Bingyu saw the reactions of the crowd from the corners of her eye. She felt her face burn with embarrassment and wanted badly to find a hole to climb into. How long had it been since she had been humiliated? Her whole body trembled slightly and she told herself to endure. Endure…

Pei Ziheng lowered his head to look at Xia Ling and said gently, “Let’s go, Brother Pei will treat your injury.”

The girl looked at him in confusion and cried again. “Aren’t you punishing that Sister Li?”

The crowd was speechless. Little girl, didn’t you see that a big punishment was just laid down?

Pei Ziheng still had good temper and caressed her soft hair gently. “I’ve already punished her. I removed her from a program, she’ll feel sad for a really long time.”

The little girl seemed to understand a little but was still confused. She still did not yet understand the importance of a program. She looked at Li Bingyu suspiciously. Although the arrogant Queen was both furious and sorrowful, she still maintained her elegance in front of Pei Ziheng and gave him her best smile.

Xia Ling said, “I don’t think she looks sad.”

“Haha.” A few staff members couldn’t help but laugh out, feeling sorry for Li Bingyu.

Pei Ziheng smiled too. “Then tell me, how would she look sad?”

The little girl racked her brains. “She must at least be like me, so sad that she’s crying.” In her knowledge, how could it be painful if she wasn’t crying?

Li Bingyu felt her head spin. She was obviously so grief-stricken, but this little brat still didn’t want to let her go! “Miss, I’m really very sad. I’m very sorry.” She tried to reason with Xia Ling. “I’m so sad that I can’t even cry. You don’t always have to cry when your heart aches.”

Xia Ling did not believe her. “I don’t care! You’re not sad unless you cry!”

“Then you will cry,” said Pei Ziheng. He looked at Li Bingyu coldly. “Cry until Xiao Ling is satisfied.”

“I!” Li Bingyu stared at her boss incredulously. There was a limit to favoritism! How was she to cry in front of everyone at the company? It was better to just kill her directly!

“I… I can’t cry,” she said stiffly.

“You obviously don’t feel sad!” Seeing that she wasn’t crying, Xia Ling was about to cry again. Her little mouth pouted at Pei Ziheng. “Boohoo, Brother Pei, give her another punishment, make her cry!”

“I’ll cry! I’ll cry!” Li Bingyu was scared senseless. This little girl was sent from God to fight against her deliberately! Pei Ziheng had just casually opened his mouth and she had already lost a program, if he were to give her another punishment, God knows how heavy the losses would be! She couldn’t afford to care much anymore, so she said, “I’ll cry for you to see!”

Xia Ling slowly took over her emotions and whispered, “You should have just cried earlier.”

This little girl already took advantage of her but was still playing obedience!

The onlookers didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Really, this time, Li Bingyu was kicked onto the iron plate for grilling!

It was Secretary Zhou who felt afraid. God, what Chu Chen had said about her being a little devil was true. The method she used to torment someone was really unimaginable. If anyone was to offend her, they could only wait to be abused. Luckily, she had gotten a reminder from Chu Chen ahead of time not to do anything to Xia Ling, fortunately…

Secretary Zhou looked at the hard-pressed Li Bingyu and the corners of her lips curled into a smile.

She had known that Xia Ling was coming in advance. She’d specifically instructed people to clean the elevator that led directly to the Chairman’s office during that time so that Xia Ling would have to detour. However, even if she detoured, she would not have necessarily met Li Bingyu. Even if she had, the two would have just passed by each other and might not have a conflict. It was Li Bingyu’s bad luck to have met her with such coincidence and develop such a big conflict with Xia Ling.

Secretary Zhou was secretly happy. This was the Li Bingyu who always used her big name and didn’t put her, the Chairman’s Secretary, in her eyes!

Beside the elevator, Xia Ling urged Li Bingyu. “Quick, cry.”

How could Li Bingyu cry?

Adults were not like children who could release tears as and when. Adults had long learned to astringe their emotions. To cry now and in front of so many people was really being too difficult on Li Bingyu. Fortunately, she was an actress, and she managed to squeeze out a few tears with much difficulty. She endured the humiliation in front of everyone and said softly in tears, “Miss, I’m sorry, I failed to recognize your importance and shouldn’t have broken your bookmark…”

Xia Ling looked at her cry for a long time. She frowned and said unhappily, “Why are you crying so quietly? I already said you’re not sad, Brother Pei just doesn’t believe me. Boohoo, Brother Pei…”

She turned her head and said in tears to Pei Ziheng.

Li Bingyu was so scared she almost cried for real. She immediately increased her volume. “Boohoo, I’m sorry, I’m really sorry!” She covered her face and wept.

Xia Ling was still not satisfied. “You have to cry louder than me. It was you who broke my bookmark, how could you not be more upset than me?”

Li Bingyu gritted her teeth in anger. However, she did not dare to ignore her orders and started crying even harder.
