Shangguan Wan'er did not reach out to take it, but sat there with a blank expression.
Seeing this, the agent directly shoved the wine glass into her hand and whispered a threat:
"Shangguan Wan'er, listen to me clearly!
I don't care which sugar daddy you've hooked up with. As long as you're still an artist under the company, you must represent the company and toast Mr. Zhang!"
Shangguan Wan'er lowered her eyelids, her expression obscured, as if weighing something.
After a long while, she spoke coldly:
"If I drink this glass of wine, can I leave here?"
Upon hearing this, the agent immediately put on a smile brighter than a chrysanthemum.
"Of course.
This Mr. Zhang is your die-hard fan and specifically asked to see you.
If you drink this glass, you'll be giving Mr. Zhang face, and how could Mr. Zhang make things difficult for you?"
"Alright then, I'll drink this glass."
With that, Shangguan Wan'er symbolically clinked glasses with the lecherous Mr. Zhang, then downed the wine in her glass.
"Thank you for the hospitality. I'll be going now."
As Shangguan Wan'er stood up and took two steps, her body swayed and she fell to the side.
Seeing Shangguan Wan'er collapse onto the sofa, Mr. Zhang couldn't help but give the agent a thumbs-up:
"Your agent handles things cleanly and efficiently. Very good!"
"Mr. Zhang, you flatter me. Our boss said that Shangguan Wan'er is yours to dispose of tonight."
As he spoke, the agent took out a room key card from his pocket and handed it over.
However, faced with the beauty, Mr. Zhang hesitated.
"I heard that Shangguan Wan'er has been very close to Ye Xiangchen of Ye Corporation recently. If I touch her, won't Ye Xiangchen cause trouble for me afterward?"
"Mr. Zhang, you worry too much.
It's just media sensationalism.
With Mr. Ye's status as a business mogul, he has all sorts of women around him, yet I've never heard of him being involved with any woman.
So this time, it's just Shangguan Wan'er trying to get ahead, deliberately approaching Mr. Ye with some tactics to increase her buzz and exposure."
"But..."
"Mr. Zhang, don't 'but' me.
The night is short, and if you delay any longer, the sun will be up!"
After hearing this, Mr. Zhang looked suspicious:
"No, why do I feel like you're more anxious than I am?"
Although he was lecherous, he had basic judgment skills, otherwise, he wouldn't be a company president.
Seeing that he couldn't be fooled, the agent could only tell the truth:
"Mr. Zhang, let me tell you the truth.
Shangguan Wan'er has offended a certain important figure, so our boss specifically instructed that she must be ruined tonight.
But Mr. Zhang, don't worry, you won't face any trouble afterward."
"Remember your words, I, Zhang Feng, am not to be trifled with.
If you cause me any unnecessary trouble, I'll break your legs first."
"Yes, yes, yes."
The agent nodded repeatedly, and Mr. Zhang, with his belly protruding, threw out a few more threats.
Neither of them noticed that Shangguan Wan'er, who had been lying on the sofa, had her fingers twitch slightly.
Mr. Zhang downed the wine in his glass, stood up unsteadily, and walked towards Shangguan Wan'er on the sofa.
Just as his lascivious hand was about to touch Shangguan Wan'er.
Shangguan Wan'er suddenly opened her eyes.
The next moment, she leaped from the sofa and kicked towards Mr. Zhang.
The stiletto heel of her high-heeled shoe, finer than a pinky finger, struck Mr. Zhang in the crotch, causing him to let out a pig-like scream of pain.
The turn of events was too sudden. After a brief stunned moment, the agent rushed forward to help but was also kicked away by Shangguan Wan'er.
Thus, when Lin Jingxing and the others arrived in a hurry, they saw the embarrassing scene of Mr. Zhang and the agent writhing on the ground, wailing in pain.
"Sister Wan'er, are you okay?"
Lin Jingxing rushed to Shangguan Wan'er's side and examined her carefully.
"Don't worry, I won't fall into the same trap twice."
Shangguan Wan'er's words had a double meaning, and Lin Jingxing, who understood, breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Little Eight has been helping me monitor the movements of Lin Corporation. He accidentally heard your name.
He dug a little deeper and found out that your company set up a scheme to sell you to a boss named Zhang for a large profit before your contract expired.
He told me this news.
When I couldn't reach you on your phone, I had to use your phone's GPS to find you here.
It's good that you're safe."
Upon hearing this, a rare smile appeared on Shangguan Wan'er's cold, frosty face.
"After that incident, I taught myself pharmacology.
I could detect this level of knockout drug just by smelling and looking, so I didn't actually drink the drugged wine."
Shangguan Wan'er said, opening her palm to reveal a handkerchief soaked in wine.
At this moment, Ye Xiangchen, who arrived a step slower after receiving the news, entered with a murderous aura.
He first confirmed Shangguan Wan'er's condition, then walked to Mr. Zhang and directly stepped on Mr. Zhang's hand.
However, Mr. Zhang couldn't even bother with the piercing pain. While gasping for air like a dying fish, he pleaded in a trembling voice:
"Mr. Ye, I was wrong!
I didn't know Shangguan Wan'er was your person! I was also framed and set up by them!
It was their company's higher-ups who wanted to ruin Shangguan Wan'er, it has nothing to do with me!"
Ignoring the wailing Mr. Zhang, Shangguan Wan'er walked to the agent, who had also collapsed on the ground, and asked condescendingly:
"Tell me, who instructed you?"
"What are you talking about, I don't—"
Before the agent could finish speaking, he was heavily kicked in the abdomen.
Before Ye Xiangchen could deliver a second kick, the agent confessed everything.
However, all he knew was that the company's boss had personally given the order.
But once, he accidentally saw the wife of Lin Corporation's CEO coming out of his boss's office, with an ambiguous attitude.
Lin Jingxing, who belatedly remembered that the boss of Shangguan Wan'er's entertainment company was also one of the female lead's backup options, had a flash of inspiration and blurted out:
"Sister Wan'er, could that mysterious person be..."
Shangguan Wan'er was already a 'stain' that the female lead couldn't get rid of, and now she was being aggressively pursued by Ye Xiangchen, who was originally the deeply devoted second male lead. The female lead would definitely see her as a thorn in her side.
If Shangguan Wan'er's entry into the entertainment industry was not a coincidence, and if the female lead was the mysterious person who gave money to the farmers to trap Shangguan Wan'er in a poor and remote area, then everything would make sense.
No wonder she vaguely felt that the host was deliberately targeting Shangguan Wan'er during the variety show recording. It was likely also at the female lead's secret instruction.
Helping her daughter Lin Yuyan gain a foothold in the entertainment industry was one aspect, but the main reason was to ruin Shangguan Wan'er!
The more he thought about it, the more he felt a chill creep down his spine, and Shangguan Wan'er nodded affirmatively:
"Actually, I had a vague suspicion, which is why I asked Mr. Ye to help me terminate the contract.
As expected, they set up such a trap specifically before I could terminate the contract.
Hmph, they like to drug people?
I'll give them a taste of their own medicine!"
Shangguan Wan'er said with a cold expression and was about to turn and walk out when Lin Jingxing grabbed her arm.
"Sister Wan'er, there's no need for such trouble.
Lin Corporation's stock price has plummeted. I have already purchased nearly 40% of Lin Corporation's shares.
Tomorrow morning, I will take you to the pinnacle of life!"
