” What other deal can you make with me?” Tan Rou found it a little funny.” Could it be that Second Miss Meng wants me to get you into the entertainment industry again?”

Meng Xiao combed her hair and said confidently, “Miss Tan Rou, I think I’m quite good-looking. Although I’ve only been in the entertainment industry for a short time, I’ve also acted in a few small web dramas. Even if it’s a supporting role, I’m still very good at it. So if I enter the entertainment industry again, I’ll definitely bring you benefits.”

This was the first time Tan Rou had seen Meng Xiao like this. In the past, she had thought that Meng Xiao was a stupid lunatic. She did not expect that Meng Xiao, who had left the Meng family, seemed to have become smarter and even more brave.

“How can you be sure that you will bring me benefits?” Tan Rou said, “Since you’ve been in the entertainment industry before, you must know better than me. The entertainment industry is changing every day. You might be famous today, but you might not be famous anymore tomorrow. No one can guarantee that they will always be popular, and no one can be sure that they will always bring benefits to the company.”

However, Meng Xiao’s gaze was very firm. “Miss Tan Rou, please give me a chance. I won’t let you down.”

Zhuang Liu asked her, “The Meng family is in chaos now. Why don’t you take the opportunity to return to the Meng family? If you go back now, the old man of the Meng family might give you some property.”

“No.” Meng Xiao shook her head and said, “I’m not cut out to manage a company. When Big Sister was in trouble, I went to the company too. I was full of confidence when I went there, but when I arrived at the company, I realized that I was useless. I don’t know how to manage a company at all.”

“I’ve been in the entertainment industry before. At first, I entered the entertainment industry to be close to the celebrities that I like, but it’s different now. I only want to think about myself now. I need to be famous. I need all the spotlight to be on me.”

Tan Rou nodded slightly. “I admire your perseverance and determination, but if I help you, what can you provide me? Don’t say that you want to bring benefits to the company in the future. I just want to see if the conditions you offer now can satisfy me.”

“Let’s sit down and discuss this. There’s something I want to showyou.”

The three of them found a table and sat down. Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu sat on one side while Meng Xiao sat on the other.

“I wonder if Miss Tan Rou has heard of the black accounts?” Meng Xiao asked directly.

Tan Rou had naturally heard of black accounts. When companies or individuals earned money, they had to pay taxes. In order to avoid paying taxes, some companies or individuals would deliberately understate the amount that they earned. Not only did the remaining money not have to pay taxes, but they could also secretly move it into their own pockets.

In the entertainment industry, there have always been celebrities who kept black accounts. They earned too much money, so naturally, they had to pay a lot of taxes. People loved money. In order to pay lesser tax, some of them would then report a smaller amount and would keep the rest of it in their pockets. In most cases, celebrities would choose to open a shop or start a company to transfer money.

“Are you trying to say that someone in Xinghe Entertainment is doing black accounts?” Tan Rou asked.

“Of course there is. Nic and his agent are doing black accounts,” Meng Xiao said with certainty.

“His manager helped him take on a lot of jobs in private, but the money was not reported. It was all secretly transferred by them or directly invested in the company they started.”

“How did you know about this? I don’t think Nic would be so stupid as to tell you all these things.” Tan Rou said.

“I overheard it. There was once when I went looking for him without informing him beforehand and I overheard his conversation with his manager. He has no idea that I know about this.”

“Then why didn’t you report him?” Tan Rou asked again.

Meng Xiao’s expression was very ugly. “I liked him very much at that time, so I didn’t think of this at all. I thought that he was doing this because he was short of money, so I secretly gave him a lot of scripts. I didn’t expect him to treat me like this in the end. He really hurt me.”

“Then why did you say it now?” Zhuang Liu asked.

Meng Xiao rolled her eyes and said heartlessly, “If I don’t get to be happy, he shouldn’t either. We should all suffer together.”
