Chen Min explained, "I have a basis for this. I heard from Xiaomei that you were able to get out of the hotel in Hong Kong thanks to Professor Gu. He not only took you to the bar, but also found you a place to stay. He took the initiative to help you at the airport, and after you came back, he used his connections to rescue you from the airport. He spoke to you like that just now, and the tenderness in his eyes when he looked at you was about to overflow. If he didn't like you, what else could it be?"

Sang Yuwan rolled her eyes, not knowing how to explain.

However, she said with certainty: "Minjie, you can rest assured. I can guarantee that he doesn't like me. Don't say such horrible things again. It's more terrifying than hearing a ghost story in the middle of the night."

"Do you dislike Professor Gu so much?" Chen Min asked doubtfully.

She thought of Gu Mingyu's face. If it weren't for his identity as a scientist and Gu Mingchen's younger brother, she would have been unable to resist persuading him to sign a contract to become an artist.

Even in the entertainment industry full of handsome men, that face is still very attractive.

"Of course not. How could I like him?" Sang Yuwan shook her head like a rattle.

Chen Min heaved a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that you don't like it. After all, he is Chairman Gu's younger brother, after all..."

"This has nothing to do with Chairman Gu. No matter whose brother he is, I will never like her."

Sang Yuwan assured with certainty.

Chen Min smiled awkwardly, but also breathed a sigh of relief.

Sang Yuwan knew from her expression that she still didn't believe that she didn't like Gu Mingchen.

That's why she had to terminate the contract.

Regardless of whether she quits the entertainment industry or not, she can no longer be entangled with Gu Mingchen.

The press conference in the afternoon went smoothly, although some reporters asked some sharp questions.

However, Sang Yuwan answered cleverly.

"Thank you for your support to our Wanwan. Please continue to support our Wanwan in the future."

Chen Min walked forward with a smile, thanked everyone, and took Sang Yuwan away.

However, as soon as he got in the car, Chen Min received a call from the company's vice president.

"Chen Min, ask Wanwan if she has time today to have dinner together."

"Okay, Mr. Pang, I'll ask Wanwan." Chen Min hung up the phone with a happy voice.

However, as soon as she hung up the phone, the smile on her face disappeared.

"What's wrong?" Sang Yuwan asked.

Chen Min rubbed his temples and said with a headache: "Pang wants to invite you to dinner."

"Boss Pang?"

Sang Yuwan thought about it, but couldn't remember who it was.

"It's that big toad." Chen Min reminded.

"Oh, it's him. Why did he suddenly think of inviting me to dinner?"

As soon as Chen Min mentioned the big toad, Sang Yuwan remembered it.

There is indeed such a senior executive in the company who looks like a toad, especially his eyes, which look like they were taken from the toad's face and pressed on his own face.

So, people in the company nicknamed him "Big Toad".

"Do you know why he is called Big Toad?" Chen Min asked.

Sang Yuwan smiled and said, "Of course it's because he looks like a toad. People who don't know him would definitely think he is a toad spirit that has cultivated into a human."

"There is another meaning, which is that a toad wants to eat swan flesh. This guy is a pervert and has touched many female artists in the company. People don't dare to call him a toad directly, so they call him a big toad based on his appearance." Chen Min explained.

"what?"

Sang Yuwan was surprised. She really didn't know there was such a meaning.

Chen Min continued, "Before, he knew you were Chairman Gu's man, so how could he dare to ask you out for dinner? Now that he knows you have terminated your contract with Gu Group, no matter what the reason is, it means that Chairman Gu will no longer protect you, so he is eager to invite you out for dinner and take advantage of you."

"Does he want to die? No, tell him that I'm losing weight and not eating." Sang Yuwan said angrily.

Chen Min said: "I can reject him this time, but what about next time, and the next time? I can't keep using the same reason!"

"So what if I keep using it? Can he still ban me? Besides, my contract is not with the company, I'm just affiliated with it."

Sang Yuwan curled her lips nonchalantly.

Chen Min shook her head and said, "Your contract says you are not in the company, but if you keep refusing social events, your resources will become fewer and fewer, and in the end you will have no resources and no movies to shoot."

"Even if there is no movie to shoot, I won't let the big toad take advantage of me." Sang Yuwan muttered.

Chen Min said: "Of course, I'm not letting him take advantage of me. Not every female artist will be taken advantage of when they socialize. Smart people know how to deal with it so that they can get resources without being taken advantage of. Wanwan, you will not have Chairman Gu's protection in the future. You have to learn these ways of survival in order to continue in this circle."

"It's so troublesome. Tell me, can I tell Chairman Gu now that I regret it?"

Sang Yuwan was overwhelmed after hearing this and instantly regretted having hastily terminated the contract with Gu Mingchen. She couldn't help but ask Chen Min with a wry smile.

Chen Min: "..."

"My dear lady, are you kidding me? Even if you regret it now, you have already held the press conference and released the news. Chairman Gu's face is not a face. Can you pick it up and continue to use it after you stepped on it casually?"

If Gu Mingchen signed a new contract with her because she changed her mind, then she would really have to doubt the rumor whether Gu Mingchen was her biological father.

"You're just kidding, why did you take it seriously? I'm not that thick-skinned."

Sang Yuwan said embarrassedly when she saw Chen Min’s changed expression.

However, she also knew that Chen Min was right.

Since I have no plans to quit the circle for the time being and I also want to see the real world, hiding all the time is not a solution.

You have to learn to face it.

So, she asked Chen Min to make arrangements and agreed to have dinner with Mr. Pang.

"Don't worry, I'll go with you." Chen Min said.

Sang Yuwan nodded.

She wasn't too worried.

Anyway, it is impossible for her to agree to any unreasonable request. If Mr. Pang uses force, it will be easier to deal with.

I don’t have brains, but I have strength and means!

Chen Min called Mr. Pang and told him that Sang Yuwan had agreed to have dinner with him.

Mr. Pang was very happy!

"Not tonight, maybe tomorrow night! I'll book a private room and let you know tomorrow night."

Mr. Pang has other social engagements today, and he really can't spare the time for this so sudden meeting.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Pang." Chen Min said with a smile.

After saying that, he hung up the phone with a sullen face.

Mr. Pang held the phone in his hand and couldn't help but smile smugly when he thought of Sang Yuwan's appearance.

With this smile, he looks more like a toad.

"Boss Pang, are you in such a good mood?"

Others saw that he was in a good mood and couldn't help asking in a flattering manner.

Mr. Pang said with a smile: "I have an appointment with Sang Yuwan for dinner tomorrow night, so of course I am in a good mood. That is Sang Yuwan, who has always been protected by Gu Mingchen. People like us would never dare to ask her out on weekdays."

"Doesn't she never attend dinner parties? Did she agree?" someone asked curiously.

President Pang said proudly: "How can I be so happy if she doesn't agree? Now that the contract with Gu Group has been terminated, how can she survive in this circle if she doesn't agree?"

He was very excited when he thought that he would be able to get close to Sang Yuwan tomorrow and maybe even find a way to get her.

When others saw his ugly smile, they knew what he was thinking and smiled awkwardly too.

But then he spread the matter throughout the company.

The pure and innocent flower on the mountain top will soon be dethroned in her old age. Everyone wants to see the fun.

"Vice President Gu, please tell me the truth about our relationship. Why did your Gu Group terminate the contract with Sang Yuwan?"

When Gu Yunheng was socializing in the evening, a man put his arm around his shoulder and asked him mysterious questions.

"Why are you asking this?" Gu Yunheng frowned.

The man smiled and said, "This is just... curiosity."

"Didn't we say the reason at the press conference? Both parties had other considerations and developments, so we chose to terminate the contract. It's that simple, there is no other reason." Gu Yunheng said.

The man didn't believe it at all, and said with a smile: "Vice President Gu, don't joke with me. It's good enough if half of the ten sentences said at the press conference are true. Termination of the contract has a huge impact on an artist. Where else can they develop better than relying on the Gu Group?"

"You think so too! In fact, I think so too, so I really can't understand why Sang Yuwan wanted to terminate her contract with our company." Gu Yunheng said, shaking his head.

He was also puzzled by this matter.

However, no one explained it to him and just asked him to do as agreed.

"Vice President Gu, can you tell me something? Will your Chairman Gu really not protect Sang Yuwan anymore?"

The man asked again in a low voice.

Gu Yunheng was a little angry: "Why do you keep asking this question? What do you want to do?"

If you want to be more mean, these are all left over from his past activities.

I didn't understand this guy's intention just now, but now that I realized what he wanted to do, I immediately understood his tone.

Sure enough, the man said with a smile: "She is Sang Yuwan. If Chairman Gu really lets her go, I would also like to pursue her."

"Tsk, you're dreaming! Sang Yuwan's temper... aren't you afraid that she will kick you and cripple you?" Gu Yunheng mocked him.

The man smiled and said, "She has a bad temper, but she had that temper because she was protected by Chairman Gu. Now that she is not protected by Chairman Gu, can she still have that temper? I heard that Xingyi's CEO Pang asked her out for dinner tomorrow night. You know who CEO Pang is. What could it be that he asked her out for dinner? But I think that even if Sang Yuwan is blind, she would never look down on CEO Pang. After all, CEO Pang and your Chairman Gu..."

"Don't compare that toad with our chairman."

Gu Yunheng interrupted him unhappily.

"Yes, yes, of course, Mr. Pang can't compare with Chairman Gu. So I don't think Sang Yuwan would agree to anything he asked. But since even someone like Mr. Pang dared to ask her out, it's only a matter of time before she finds another backer. As long as I'm sure Chairman Gu won't bother her anymore, I'm willing to give it a try."

"Just you? You can't even stand on your own feet, and you want to be someone else's backer."

Gu Yunheng pushed his arm away with disdain and walked away with the wine glass.

However, when he asked around, he found out that there were indeed quite a few people who were interested in Sang Yuwan!
