Chapter 3970: A Perfect Match (166)

Meng Hao made an attempt to light the cigarette for him.

Qin Zhou did not respond to the offer but instead, lit his own cigarette, took a drag, and wedged it gently in the ashtray. “I hear you’ve had an audition with Liang Yin, is that right?” he asked, his eyes narrowing.

Qin Zhou had indeed asked him out to pursue this matter. He began to feel restless and uneasy. “That’s right…”

The manager blew out a puff of smoke, then said casually, “I also heard that you had invited her to your hotel room at night, for a second round of interview?”

“Yes, yes… She’s not very familiar with the lines, so I wanted to take a closer look.” Meng Hao made up an excuse. However, this excuse was obvious to Qin Zhou.

“Take a closer look?” Qin Zhou was intrigued by those words. “How would you do that? I’ve heard some of Director Meng’s rules. Apparently, the actual auditions are mostly carried out in bed?”

Meng Hao’s posture stiffened. He quickly changed the topic. “Could this Liang Yin be CEO Qin’s staff?”

The manager knocked on the tabletop, reminding the man not to play games. “I’ve asked you a question. You haven’t answered.”

Meng Hao immediately laughed in embarrassment. “CEO Qin, please don’t say that. What do you mean by auditioning in bed? CEO Qin should also know the ways of this industry! In our industry, we face great pressure everyday when casting for roles! Moreover, woman after woman would present themselves to us in succession…”

In other words, Meng Hao pushed the blame to Liang Yin, implying that she had presented herself to him.

Qin Zhou listened with growing displeasure. “You mean my staff had presented herself to you to be taken advantage of, is that it?”

Meng Hao was a little agitated now. “Well… I didn’t touch her at all, did I!” He frowned and decided to be honest. “CEO Qin, I understand why you’ve asked to see me! You’re here to seek justice for Liang Yin, right?! Since that’s the case, I think you’re making a mountain out of a molehill. This matter didn’t even happen! But after what you’ve said, I also know that in the future, I won’t lay a finger on your staff, even if they’re just a lowly assistant! You have my word on it, alright!”

He felt rather aggrieved. If he had slept with this person and taken advantage of her,he would have felt somewhat guilty being approached this way. However, he had not even taken a bite of the fatty meat before him yet he was now being interrogated by Qin Zhou. He could not help feeling annoyed.

……

Qin Zhou noticed the change in the man’s expression. He raised an eyebrow, then casually picked up his coffee cup and took a sip. There was a long, dead silence.

Meng Hao couldn’t take it anymore. He stood up and bowed to Qin Zhou. “I have some work to do in the production team and need to get back in a hurry! Hehe, CEO Qin, please allow me to take my leave first!” He made a move to leave.

Qin Zhou, however, seemed to take his time. He didn’t even look up. “Did I say you may leave?” he asked.

“…”

“I remember when we first met, you were a small-time producer. Now that you’ve been promoted to assistant director and are more experienced, you don’t think much of others? Hmm?”

Of course Meng Hao did not dare to leave upon hearing this. He could only sit down again obediently and didn’t dare to move.
