Chapter 417 Dying man sits up in shock

Ge Baitao said coldly, "What does that have to do with me? Whether you were drunk or not, the words came out of your mouth. Slandering a senior at the company, do you still want to work in this industry if this gets out? And if this recording leaks, and Song Xi's reputation is damaged, you'll be the main culprit! You'll have to pay much more than two million! Figure it out yourself."

With that, she called Song Xi and they left the conference room. Kuai Shu Ge.

Liu Hao grabbed Su Shan, thinking he had found his only lifeline. He pleaded, "Sister Shan, you signed me. You can't abandon me!"

Su Shan looked down at Liu Hao, her eyes full of disappointment.

"Do you know what I liked about you? It was that you never backed down. I could tolerate your bad temper, sleeping with fans, and swearing, but you like this, really..."

Her gaze was indifferent, "It's ugly."

Liu Hao's pupils contracted violently, his face turned pale, and all his strength seemed to drain away. He collapsed on the ground, unnoticed.

...

As soon as they entered the office, Ge Baitao opened the refrigerator, took out a can of beer, and took a big gulp.

"Ah—"

Her demeanor was completely different from her appearance in the conference room.

Ge Baitao also got Song Xi a bottle of sugar-free cola and thoughtfully opened it for her.

"Are you okay?"

To be honest, Ge Baitao was quite worried.

Song Xi shook her head. Compared to the online comments, Liu Hao's words were not very damaging.

However, this also reminded Song Xi whether the company's resources were truly unevenly distributed.

"Taozi, how many artists does the company have now?" Song Xi suddenly asked.

Ge Baitao pondered for a moment, "There should be over a dozen in total."

Song Xi was stunned. "Are they all working now?"

Ge Baitao glanced at her, understanding the implication of her words.

She let out a laugh. "What, you think I'm playing favorites?"

Without waiting for Song Xi to answer, Ge Baitao readily admitted, "Yes, you are my good friend, so of course, I'll prioritize you for good resources. Liu Hao wasn't wrong."

"But at the same time," Ge Baitao's expression became serious, "you are also the hottest, most profitable artist in the company right now. In this industry, whoever is popular has the right to speak. My treating you well is what you deserve."

Her tone was indeed that of a dominant female CEO.

But Song Xi couldn't help but worry, "Aren't you afraid Liu Hao will come back for revenge if he becomes popular someday?"

No one knew what the future held. The industry was too vast, and Song Xi didn't want Ge Baitao to make too many enemies.

But Ge Baitao didn't take it seriously at all.

She said indifferently, "So what? Lou Yuming has been struggling in this industry for so many years, and he's still doing well. Everyone is afraid of him. As long as you're strong enough, no one can do anything to me! Xi Xi, you too!"

She was a completely different person from before.

Song Xi was amazed, but at the same time, she felt that Ge Baitao must have experienced a lot in the time she wasn't present, which is why she had grown so quickly!

"Are you really going to make Liu Hao pay that two million?"

Ge Baitao snorted, "Where would he get two million?"

"Then what are you going to do?"

"Sometimes," Ge Baitao's eyes gleamed mischievously, "when you have connections, you should use them well. I've already used the Ge family's connections to find that illegitimate child, and the matter is resolved."

So, she deliberately scared Liu Hao? Clever!

"By the way!" After dealing with business, Ge Baitao's gaze sharpened as she looked at Song Xi. "Why was your phone with Lou Yuming? Have you two gotten back together?"

Song Xi pursed her lips. She really didn't want to lie to her. Just as she made up her mind to tell the truth, Ge Baitao suddenly clutched her stomach and let out a pained cry.

Song Xi jumped up in alarm, "Taozi, what's wrong!"

Glancing at the beer on the coffee table, Song Xi realized. "You just had surgery, how can you drink alcohol! Come on, I'll take you to the hospital!"

Ge Baitao broke out in a cold sweat from the pain.

At that moment, she had only one thought: Shao Cheng would definitely roll his eyes and say sarcastically,

"Discharged today and admitted today, very impressive."

And as expected, that's exactly what happened.

Shao Cheng looked at Ge Baitao on the bed with a poker face and turned to leave, "The alcohol content of the beer is too low. Next time, drink whiskey."

Ge Baitao: "..."

Song Xi beside her: "?"

"Taozi, you and Shao Cheng..."

Ge Baitao interrupted her, "The last time I got drunk, I was in the same room as Shao Cheng, right?"

Song Xi nodded, "Yes, you threw up all over Shao Cheng afterwards, and then he left."

"He left!?"

Ge Baitao sat up as if from the brink of death, "He left!! So that night—"
