Chapter 99: Chapter 99: What exactly do you want to do, isn’t giving you the role enough?
Li Qingyan was dragged out forcefully and couldn’t utter a word to stop them, restlessly pacing outside the door.
Sang Qiao went to the door and locked it, which made the investor’s smile even more lecherous, “Although these chairs are sofas, they are still too small, so today you’ll be a bit uncomfortable.”
After finishing his words, he reached out to touch Sang Qiao.
Sang Qiao was faster; she grabbed his large palm and with a beautiful shoulder throw, she slammed him on the ground, making the investor scream in pain, “Ah—”
“What… what are you doing?”
“I’m just playing with you.” Sang Qiao innocently blinked and kicked him a few times.
“Ah, ah, ah… Are you crazy? Don’t you want the role anymore? Aren’t you afraid of my revenge?” the investor yelled threateningly, eyes wide.
While talking, Sang Qiao slapped him twice more, her actions severe yet her voice sweet, “I am afraid.”
“Stop! Or you’ll regret it when I leave!” The investor’s head buzzed from the slaps, but he still managed to threaten loudly.
Sang Qiao decisively kicked him again.
The investor cried weakly in pain. It wasn’t that he, a stout man, didn’t want to fight back, but this young lady’s judo move had him in full-body pain.
Her strength was surprisingly great; he had no ability to resist.
“What do you really want, isn’t giving you the role enough?”

“Tell me, how many people have you manipulated with these unspoken rules?” Sang Qiao asked coolly.
“They all consented; why do you care about these consensual affairs?”
The investor suddenly became cautious; he had initially thought of compromising until he could get help and then sue her. Suddenly he remembered she had just asked about surveillance.
He instantly regretted not being cautious, so she knew there was no surveillance and that’s why she acted so boldly?
“I need something on you so you won’t cause me trouble after getting out.” Sang Qiao guessed that his past manipulations were likely consensual.
Otherwise, when she entered, he wouldn’t have tried to compromise with a role but would have taken action directly.
“You!” The investor glared at her.
“I forgot that you don’t have the habit of installing surveillance, but no matter, I can always find out. If someone wants to sue you, my team of lawyers is willing to help.”
Sang Qiao’s delicate face was expressionless, but her words were frightening.
The investor then remembered that Shangguan Yuan’s team of lawyers were from Rose Entertainment.
He suddenly became flustered, “Isn’t it enough that I won’t pursue you anymore? I’ll give you the role, and I won’t cause you any future trouble.”
“Was everyone before truly willing?” Sang Qiao finally looked at him lazily.
The investor’s tone was urgent: “Of course! I never force anyone, I wouldn’t give anyone the chance to catch me, if he isn’t willing, he shouldn’t take the role, and I won’t seek her out again.”
Sang Qiao didn’t even blink, clearly dissatisfied with his words; his actions deprived those who were talented but unwilling to compromise from getting roles.
Seeing the young lady silent, the investor panicked, his heart pounding, “What else do you want? You can’t seriously be asking me to never manipulate like this again?”
“That’s a good suggestion.” Sang Qiao’s lips curled up in approval.
The investor now regretted his words!
But, under her direct gaze, he feared getting beaten, afraid her team of lawyers would go after those who had clearly come to him voluntarily for roles.
He could only nod, “I agree. Can I go now?”
“Remember to keep your promises, I’ll be paying close attention to you,” Sang Qiao finally said as she clapped her hands and walked away.
The investor watched her leave, gritting their teeth in anger, thinking today was truly a sin!
They didn’t get any benefit and ended up being threatened instead. It wasn’t until they went online to check Sang Qiao’s background to see if she had any other cards besides Shangguan Yuan.
They saw news of Mr. Si filming a romantic variety show with her, as well as Si Family’s investment in Rose Entertainment, and news about her being the sister of Sang Emperor, etc….
After reading through a series of posts about Sang Qiao’s identity, the investor completely gave up on the idea of revenge.
They only blamed themselves for not having fully understood Sang Qiao’s background before coming here.

Li Qingyan was pacing anxiously at the door, even wanting to break in, but was stopped by a middle-aged lady, since there were only sounds of a man screaming inside, no women, indicating nothing was wrong.
When Sang Qiao opened the door and came out, Li Qingyan hurriedly checked on her, and finally breathed a sigh of relief seeing her clothes were intact.
“Sister Qiao, is this resolved?”
“Right, just go to the shooting tomorrow,” Sang Qiao nodded and started walking out.
“You… didn’t have any issues with the investor? How did you convince him?” Li Qingyan asked incredulously.
“I inspired him with actions; he said he would never exploit others again.”
Sang Qiao said very elegantly, looking as earnest as could be.
Thus, Li Qingyan didn’t ponder further, “Investors are that easy to educate nowadays?”
The middle-aged lady silently stood by, secretly lamenting Li Qingyan’s naivety.
Just hearing the investor’s screams was enough to know it wasn’t as simple as mere inspiration.
After the three of them left, they got in the car, first dropping Sang Qiao off at Su Mansion, before the other two went to their respective homes.

As the esports competition drew near, even Weibo was abuzz with people talking about it.
Sang Siyang’s popularity was high, and combined with his previous particular affection for his sister Sang Jiao, envy was already brewing online this year before Sang Jiao even started sharing family tickets.
People kept asking Sang Jiao to quickly post Yang God’s invitation and tickets so they could properly admire them.
The hype continued to surge, and without Sang Jiao speaking up, skeptical voices began to appear online, suggesting maybe Sang Siyang never really doted on Sang Jiao, and she was just riding on the coattails of his fame.
After all, Sang Siyang’s Weibo had never posted anything about Sang Jiao.
Soon, phrases like “Sang Jiao forcefully riding on Yang God’s popularity, her so-called ‘favorite of the family’ persona crumbled” appeared on trending searches.
Some even cursed her, saying she deserved it for her previous show-offs, thinking they were mere fantasies, really believing herself to be the family’s favorite!
This made Sang Jiao, living alone outside, unable to sit still, her hands trembling as she held her phone.
Even if that day her brother said he would give the ticket to Sang Qiao, it should still be given to her if she asked.
After all, it was the same last year; she just had to act pitiful, and she could get what she wanted.
Thinking this, Sang Jiao’s previously uneasy heart stabilized, and without hesitation, she responded.
Sang Jiao V: “The competition hasn’t even started yet, everyone, don’t be anxious. I’m not some family favorite, my brothers just treat me well. I do have the family tickets, just haven’t gotten them yet. Brother Four has been busy training and hasn’t found the chance to come home. @Sang Siyang, wishing Brother Four wins the championship~”
