Xu Manli was very polite upon learning it was Xia Bingqing's secretary.
She naturally knew the current standing of Bingqing Cosmetics in the business world.
In the face of capital, she, a second-tier celebrity, was still somewhat lacking.
"Secretary Liu, you want me to endorse Bingqing Cosmetics' products?"
Xu Manli asked politely.
Secretary Liu nodded, "Yes, exactly!"
"Do you happen to have time? If not, never mind!" Secretary Liu felt Xu Manli was very courteous, so she reciprocated the politeness.
Xu Manli immediately agreed, "I am willing to cooperate!"
Bingqing Cosmetics was improving day by day, and Xu Manli, being a smart person, wanted to align herself with them. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
In the entertainment industry, status was paramount.
To be honest, Xu Manli also needed a respectable patron.
Secretary Liu did not expect Xu Manli to agree so quickly. Compared to that Anna, the difference was like night and day!
"Alright, please come to Lincheng when you have time so we can discuss the cooperation schedule in detail!"
"No problem!"
Thus, the two parties reached a verbal agreement over the phone.
After hanging up, Secretary Liu wore a look of relief and smiled, "Qingqing, Xu Manli is so much easier to talk to! Great... I feel much better instantly!"
"Haha, good!"
Xia Bingqing nodded, "Then don't be angry anymore!"
"Mmm-hmm!"
...
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Evening.
Secretary Liu worked overtime. By the time she left the company, it was around ten in the evening.
She was the last one to leave the entire company.
Dragging her tired body, she went to the roadside to flag a taxi.
Suddenly, a black van stopped in front of her.
With a whoosh, the door opened...
Secretary Liu's expression froze as she saw this, never expecting to be kidnapped.
Suddenly, two people rushed out and pulled her into the van.
This scene unfolded in a flash, within mere breaths.
Secretary Liu's head bumped hard against the seat. She furrowed her brows, "What... what are you doing?"
"Let me go immediately, or I'll report you to the authorities right away!"
"Did you hear me?"
Secretary Liu tried to scare the men in black.
However, they remained indifferent, paying her no mind, or perhaps they were not afraid of her at all.
Not afraid in the slightest!
"Ah... speak up!"
Secretary Liu shouted again, "Who are you people?"
Although she was a bit scared, her words remained defiant.
One of the men in black sneered, "It's not important who we are; what's important is who you've offended!"
Secretary Liu froze, then said clearly, "I haven't offended anyone, don't talk nonsense!"
"Let me go!"
"I'll report you if you don't!"
The men in black chuckled mockingly, "Look at your current situation, do you still have a chance?"
"Can you be a little more clear-headed and not be a brainless fool!"
"You..."
Immediately after, two punches landed on Secretary Liu's face.
She was beaten until her nose was bruised and her face was contorted.
Finally, Secretary Liu couldn't hold on any longer and fainted.
When she woke up, she was hanging on the wall of a废场 (abandoned site).
Her head dangled, looking rather disheveled.
"Who... who are you people?"
"Why did you arrest me for no reason?"
"I have no enmity with you!"
The leader of the men in black was now setting up a camera...
