Chapter 117 - Bet
A strong wave of sorrow and cold hatred flowed in Nan Zhi’s chest when she thought of the conversation she overheard between Nan Weiye and Ding Shuman’s four years ago.
Her expression fell and became cold and emotionless, as though someone had flipped a switch. She stood up and took the invitation that Nan Yao had passed to her, tearing it into pieces before she threw the shreds of confetti-like paper at Nan Yao’s face.
“Don’t come and provoke me. I don’t know what I will do otherwise.” Nan Zhi’s almond-shaped eyes were completely cold. “If you have the capability, fight with me fair and square and out in the open. Don’t play such small and dirty tricks in front of me.”
Nan Zhi looked down at Nan Yao in her high heels. The aura she was exuding from within her was cold, attractive and arrogant.
She was born a beauty, with her flawless skin, red lips and white teeth. Together with her clear eyes and unyielding charisma, Nan Yao immediately appeared weaker under her aura.
Nan Zhi leaned down to Nan Yao’s face. She laughed coldly before speaking lowly into her ear, “Nan Yao, where did your courage come from? Provoking me time after time, even though you’re the daughter of a mistress and an illegitimate daughter that hasn’t even been announced by father? I will return to father and seduce Bo Shaoxiu again if you continue to make me angry. Who do you think has a better chance of winning after the last four years? Consider yourself warned.”
Nan Yao’s expression changed.
Bo Shaoxiu had yet to forget Nan Zhi, even after all these years. If Nan Zhi wanted to seduce him…
Nan Yao trembled as she suppressed the anger within her. She looked up at Nan Zhi as she said with a bad expression, “Nan Zhi, how about we make a bet?”
When Nan Yao said this, she increased her volume intentionally as a scheming glint flashed in her eyes.
Nan Zhi sat back on the chair. She took a cup of water and drank from it before she spoke slowly, “What are the stakes.”
Her unconcerned tone was dismissive and seemed like she did not see Nan Yao as any form of competition.
Nan Yao was very angry at Nan Zhi. However, she smiled gently instead. “How about we compete in the ratings of the shows we’re interning at? If my show has a higher rating, you will resign and leave the broadcasting company. If your show has a higher rating, I’ll leave.”
Several people in the cafeteria were shocked at Nan Yao’s words.
Zhuang Jingjing, Yu Xiaoting and Bai Weiwei felt that there was no competition.
Everyone knew the ratings for the last season of ‘Dreams Come True’. It was the top new show for the company with one of the highest viewership ratings, while ‘Delicacy Wins The World’ was a flopped failure of a show. It was still a big question mark as to whether the new season would even get a sponsor!
Xia Xi slammed her chopsticks on the table as she shouted at Nan Yao with her brows furrowed tightly together, “You’re too much! Aren’t you being too much of a bully?”
Nan Yao scoffed, “Xia Xi, you’re Director Zhang’s assistant, aren’t you? Why? Are you that unconfident of your own show before the new season has even aired?”
Zhuang Jingjing added, “Yaoyao, the previous season of their show was a complete failure! It’s natural that they don’t have the guts to compete with the top show!”
Yu Xiaoting agreed, “That’s right. Aren’t they just seeking their own death if they really accept the bet?”
Bai Weiwei stood at the side as her lips turned up in a scoffing smile. Even her, the host of ‘Delicacy Wins The World’, did not have any expectations for this show.
The show was indeed a complete disaster when compared to ‘Dreams Come True’.
Xia Xi glared at them before she looked at the silent Nan Zhi. She shook her head at Nan Zhi, “Sister Zhi, there isn’t much of a competition with this type of bet. Don’t accept…”
“No.” Nan Zhi’s red lips curled up slightly. She was both cold and charming. “I accept.”
Nan Yao wanted to use the chance to kick her out of the broadcasting company. On the other hand, how was Nan Zhi going to deny the chance to do the same in return? The stakes were on.
Everyone was in a state of disbelief when they heard Nan Zhi.
It was like a stone had been thrown into a calm lake and immediately created a large wave of disturbance.
