Chapter 1214: She Really Wished He Would Die Right Away
Zhao Kang acted as if he had been electrocuted and released Jia Qiulian. He also took a few steps back, but toward Zeng Zhelan. He was no longer as angry as he had been toward Jia Qiulian. Instead, he bowed and flattered Zeng Zhelan with a smile. “No, Director Zeng, this isn’t like what you saw. I just suddenly saw a big star and lost my composure. I’m sorry.”
Zeng Zhelan didn’t believe him at all. She clearly saw Zhao Kang’s fierce smile towards Jia Qiulian just now. It wasn’t a smile like that of a fan meeting his idol. It was more like the look of a wild beast staring at its prey.
Jia Qiulian fixed the coat on her shoulders and said expressionlessly, “I came to look for President Liang. I met him here and he wanted to take a photo with me. I didn’t agree, so …”
“Oh, so you’re looking for President Liang!” Zeng Zhelan feigned enlightenment and pointed down the corridor. “President Liang is in the office now, you can go see her directly.”
Jia Qiulian nodded politely to Zeng Zhelan, then walked past Zhao Kang without looking at him. She didn’t even look at the man out of the corner of her eye.
Zhao Kang raised his eyebrow nonchalantly. Just as he was about to leave, he was suddenly stopped by Zeng Zhelan.
“Zhao Kang, stop right there.”
Zhao Kang stopped and turned to face her. He asked with a smile. “Director Zeng, what’s wrong?”
Zeng Zhelan instantly put on the air of a leader and started to reprimand him. “We’re now in the biggest entertainment company in the country. How many female celebrities are there in this company? There are bigger and more famous celebrities than Jia Qiulian here. Do you want to take a photo with all of them as soon as you see them? It’s enough for them to be bothered by their fans outside. Now that they’re back in the company, do they still need to be bothered by you too?”
Zhao Kang listened listlessly. It was as if he was not the one Zeng Zhelan was talking about.
Zeng Zhelan’s voice suddenly turned cold. “Next time, if I see you bothering female celebrities again, I will tell President Liang. President Liang has never been soft-hearted with people like you. She will directly tell you to scram!”
“Yes, yes, yes!” Speaking of Liang Zixuan, Zhao Kang immediately admitted his mistake. “I was wrong, I really know my mistake. I just saw a movie starring Jia Qiulian, that’s why I was so excited. If you think I went too far, I can apologize to her right now.”
“As long as you know your mistake!” Zeng Zhelan gave Zhao Kang a cold look and snorted. “Don’t think you can harass female celebrities in this company. If anything comes out, don’t think you can be in this business anymore!”
Jia Qiulian could hear Zeng Zhelan scolding Zhao Kang even after she walked away. When she reached the end of the corridor, she suddenly stopped and turned around to look at them.
She had never seen Zhao Kang act like a pug before. In the past, he had always adopted an arrogant attitude toward her, even when he asked her for money.
When Jia Qiulian reached Liang Zixuan’s office, she knocked on the door.
Liang Zixuan’s voice came from inside as she pushed open the door and walked in.
Liang Zixuan wasn’t surprised to see her. She smiled and said, “Qiulian, you’re here. Sit down.”
Jia Qiulian sat opposite Liang Zixuan in a depressed mood. When she saw Liang Zixuan’s enthusiastic face, she felt a pang of envy in her heart.
“Sister-in-law, do you really want to put Zhao Kang under your nose?”
“Han Group is a proper company, not a prison. What do you think I’m going to do?”
Jia Qiulian chuckled. “That’s true. He has the freedom to live.”
Liang Zixuan stopped smiling and asked seriously, “What do you want? Do you want him to have no freedom in life?”
“I don’t know.”
Jia Qiulian was confused. Although Liang Zixuan had said that she would help her, but Jia Qiulian was really scared, especially when Zhao Kang threatened her all the time.
Sometimes, she really wished he would die right away.
However, this was just what she had in mind. Since they were in a society governed by the rule of law, no matter how powerful and wealthy the Han Family was, it was impossible for them to do something that could endanger the lives of others.
“He came looking for me.”
Liang Zixuan took her hand away from the mouse and placed it on the table. Staring at Jia Qiulian without blinking, she asked, “Why was he looking for you?”
Jia Qiulian lowered her gaze, her thick eyelashes masking the hatred in her eyes. “He insisted that I meet him, saying that if I didn’t come, he would come looking for me.”
Liang Zixuan slowly frowned, her pink lips pursed tightly together, and her fingers clenched into fists in anger.
Sensing Liang Zixuan’s anger, Jia Qiulian smiled. “After I got off the elevator, he held me there and threatened me with eight million. He wanted me to provide the sum within two days. If I didn’t do it, he would spread my photos.”
“Sure!” Liang Zixuan sneered, “He couldn’t help himself after coming to my place and started looking for his misfortune after being scolded by me, is he? This man is truly a man!”
Jia Qiulian raised her head with tears in her eyes. As if she was very tired, she said wearily, “Sister-in-law, why don’t I just give him the eight million? At least that would send him away.”
“You think he’s going to let you go just because you gave him the money?” Liang Zixuan shook her head, “This person is extremely greedy. The first time, he extorted one million from you, but after a few days, he wanted eight million. If you give him again this time, it will be thirty million, fifty million, or even a hundred million! Qiulian, do you really have that much money to give him?”

“I… I don’t.”
Jia Qiulian’s career had just started, and she only had one million yuan in her savings. If Zhao Kang asked for that much money again, she really couldn’t afford it.
Unless she asked for money from Han Cihui. But since she wanted so much money at once, how could Han Cihui not ask?
Jia Qiulian didn’t know how to lie and didn’t want to lie to Han Cihui. Furthermore, she didn’t want him to know about it.
Thinking about money, Zhao Kang really made her crumble.
