Bab 66: Mencegah Tangning
Penerjemah: Yunyi Editor: Yunyi
"Tangning akan melakukan apa besok malam?" Mo Yurou bertanya kepada asistennya setelah ia selesai mencoba gaunnya.
"Aku dengar dia akan memotret sampul depan Secret edisi Oktober," asistennya menyesuaikan kacamata yang bertengger di pangkal hidungnya; ia yakin ia mengetahui setiap gerak-gerik Tangning.
"Aku menolak percaya dia tidak akan bereaksi sama sekali," kata Mo Yurou dengan curiga; hanya memikirkan penghinaan yang telah Tangning lakukan padanya, membuatnya ingin mencabik Tangning menjadi sejuta keping. "Cari tahu lokasi pemotretannya. Sebagai jaring pengaman, atur seseorang untuk membuatnya sibuk; hanya dengan begitu aku bisa tenang."
"Jangan khawatir, aku tahu apa yang harus dilakukan," kata-kata asistennya seolah menyembunyikan makna yang lebih dalam; dalam hal menindas Tangning, ia sudah berpengalaman. Lagipula, Tangning sebelumnya pernah menjadi pengganti Mo Yurou dan ia diam-diam telah menimbulkan banyak masalah untuknya.
"Sekalian, bantu aku menghubungi rumah sakit secara rahasia. Setelah upacara penghargaan selesai, aku akan pergi untuk menyingkirkan anak ini..."
Meskipun ia tahu impian hidupnya adalah mengejar ketenaran, setelah mendengar rencana Mo Yurou, asistennya tetap merasa, menyerahkan anaknya sendiri adalah tindakan yang terlalu jauh. Pada saat yang sama, ia khawatir, jika Han Yufan sampai tahu, apa akibatnya bagi Mo Yurou?
Lihatlah Tangning dan betapa besar usaha yang ia kerahkan untuk sampai ke titik ini hari ini.
Meskipun asistennya tidak mengatakannya, di dalam hatinya ia tahu, jika Mo Yurou menentang Han Yufan, tidak mungkin ia bisa mengikuti jejak Tangning. Entah itu profesionalisme atau kemampuan bergaul — Tangning jauh di depan Mo Yurou.
Tentu saja, Mo Yurou tidak berpikir demikian...
...
Keesokan paginya. Tianyi Entertainment, kantor CEO.
Han Ruoxue selalu seorang wanita yang penuh aksi: baru kemarin mereka membicarakan tentang mencari pendatang baru dan langsung saja ia mulai mempertimbangkan kandidat yang cocok. Jadi, pagi-pagi sekali, ia mengirim seseorang untuk menjemput mereka — total ada tiga gadis.
Mereka semua berusia sekitar 16 tahun, tinggi dengan kaki panjang, muda, cantik, dan penuh vitalitas.
Han Ruoxue memandang ketiga gadis itu sambil duduk di atas meja Han Yufan. Ia mengangkat alisnya dan bertanya, "Bagaimana menurutmu? Aku kebetulan menemukan kompetisi pencarian model; yang ini Lan Yu, dia setidaknya 70% mirip dengan Tangning."
Han Yufan memandang ketiga gadis itu dan memperhatikan khusus yang tertinggi di tengah. Dari luar, ia memang terlihat mirip Tangning; terutama hidungnya, yang tinggi dan lurus. Namun, temperamennya tidak bisa dibandingkan.
"Aku tahu, dibandingkan Tangning dia masih jauh, tapi dia masih muda, sedangkan Tangning sudah berusia 26 tahun. Menurutmu berapa banyak kesuksesan yang bisa Tangning capai di usianya? Lihatlah dia sekarang; berapa banyak energi yang telah ia sia-siakan hanya untuk sampai sejauh ini?"
"Apakah kamu sudah melakukan pemeriksaan latar belakang?" Han Yufan masih punya banyak pertanyaan.
"Tentu saja. Meskipun keluarga Lan Yu tidak sangat kaya, mereka berpendidikan baik; mereka tidak terlalu buruk." Han Ruoxue meletakkan informasi Lan Yu di depan Han Yufan.
"Aku yakin aku bisa membuat Lan Yu tampil di runway internasional terbesar."
Kedua saudara itu melanjutkan diskusi panas mereka di kantor, sementara Tangning berdiri di luar mendengarkan seluruh percakapan. Ia mampir ke gedung itu karena ia diminta datang untuk mengambil beberapa hadiah yang ditinggalkan oleh para penggemarnya. Namun, ia tidak pernah menyangka, hadiah-hadiahnya telah disobek dan berserakan di mana-mana oleh staf.
Beberapa saat kemudian, pintu ruang kantor terbuka; tiga gadis muda cantik keluar. Mereka semua mulai menilai Tangning dengan mata mereka — terutama gadis bernama Lan Yu itu.
Tangning menyeringai dalam hati. Ada kalanya ia tidak bisa menahan diri untuk mengakui, tidak ada batas untuk betapa jahatnya kedua saudara itu.
"Oh, kamu!" Begitu melihat Tangning, Han Ruoxue langsung terlihat jijik.
Tangning melemparkan hadiah-hadiahnya yang telah disobek di depan Han Ruoxue, "Setelah membayar kompensasimu, apakah kamu begitu miskin sampai harus menyobek hadiah-hadiahku?"
"Tangning, jaga sikapmu," Han Ruoxue menunjuk Tangning sambil berteriak. "Meskipun kamu sekarang punya sedikit ketenaran, kamu tetap artis perusahaan ini, dan aku adalah Direktur Artis. Lagipula, jika seorang model belum diundang ke Bright Night Gala itu berarti mereka tidak diakui sebagai bagian dari industri, jadi apa hakmu untuk berbicara lantang kepada atasan perusahaan?"
"Apakah aku benar-benar...tidak diundang?" Tangning memandang Han Ruoxue; matanya dipenuhi ejekan dan penghinaan.
Jantung Han Yufan berdetak kencang; ia semakin yakin bahwa Tangning tahu apa yang telah terjadi...
...hanya saja dia terlalu pandai menahan diri dan terlalu pandai mengendalikan emosinya; hampir tidak ada yang bisa tahu apa yang dia pikirkan.
"Tentu saja tidak..." Han Ruoxue menjawab dengan yakin. "Kenapa? Kamu tidak bisa menerima kenyataan? Kamu ingin ikut juga? Sayangnya, kamu tidak akan punya kesempatan..."
"Tangning, malam ini fokus saja pada pemotretan majalahmu. Berhenti memikirkan Bright Night Gala. Kamu tidak ingin mudah terganggu," Han Yufan menggenggam pena di tangannya saat ia mencoba meyakinkan Tangning. "Bright Night Gala jelas tidak mengundangmu, jadi berhenti membuang waktumu melakukan hal-hal yang tidak berguna."
Tangning tertawa pelan; ia sama sekali tidak dibuat marah oleh Han Ruoxue. Bahkan, hanya memikirkan apa yang akan segera terjadi...ia sangat geli.
"Aku pasti akan memainkan peranku sebagai model, tapi, lain kali seseorang menyobek hadiah-hadiahku, mereka harus mengharapkan surat dari pengacaraku!"
"Aku tidak pernah menyangka, putri dari kerajaan parfum akan menyukai beberapa hadiah sederhana."
"Hadiah-hadiah itu bukan masalah utama...masalah utamanya adalah, dalam hal Tianyi, aku tidak akan membiarkan kalian menuai keuntungan apa pun..." Setelah berbicara, Tangning bersiap untuk pergi, tetapi Han Yufan menghentikannya.
"Apakah kamu sudah menyelesaikan kontrak TQ?"

"What will Tangning be doing tomorrow night?" Mo Yurou asked her assistant after she tried on her dress.
"I heard she will be shooting Secret’s October front cover," her assistant adjusted the glasses sitting on his nose bridge; he was certain he knew Tangning’s every move.
"I refuse to believe she won’t react at all," Mo Yurou said suspiciously; just the thought of the humiliation Tangning had put her through, made her want to tear Tangning into a million pieces. "Find out the location of her shoot. As a safety net, organize someone to keep her busy; only then will I be rest assured."
"Don’t worry, I know what to do," her assistant’s words seemed to hide a deeper meaning; when it came to bullying Tangning, he was well experienced. After all, Tangning had previously been Mo Yurou’s substitute and he had secretly caused a lot of trouble for her.
"While you’re at it, help me contact the hospital in secret. After the awards ceremony is over, I am going to go get rid of this child..."
Even though he knew her dream in life was to chase fame, after hearing Mo Yurou’s plan, her assistant still felt, giving up on her own child was taking things a step too far. At the same time, he was worried, if Han Yufan was to find out, what would be the consequences for Mo Yurou?
Look at Tangning and how much effort she put in to get to where she is today.
Even though her assistant didn’t say it, inside he knew, if Mo Yurou was to go against Han Yufan, there was no way she would be able to follow in the footsteps of Tangning. No matter if it was professionalism or people skills - Tangning was well ahead of Mo Yurou.
Of course, Mo Yurou did not think this way...
...
The next morning. Tianyi Entertainment, CEO’s office.
Han Ruoxue had always been a woman of action: only yesterday, they were discussing finding a newcomer and straight away she started considering suitable candidates. So, early in the morning, she sent someone to go pick them up - there were a total of three girls.
They were all roughly 16 years old, tall with long legs, young, beautiful and vibrant.
Han Ruoxue looked at the three girls as she sat on Han Yufan’s table. She lifted her eyebrows and asked, "What do you think? I happened to come across a model search competition; this here is Lan Yu, she is at least 70% similar to Tangning."
Han Yufan looked at the three girls and took particular notice of the tallest one in the middle. On the outside, she indeed looked similar to Tangning; especially her nose, that was tall and straight. However, her temperament was incomparable.
"I know, compared to Tangning she is still miles apart, but she is young, whereas Tangning is already 26 years old. How much success do you think Tangning can achieve at her age? Look at her right now; how much energy has she wasted just to get this far?"
"Have you already done a background check?" Han Yufan still had a lot of questions.
"Of course. Although Lan Yu’s family isn’t extremely rich, they are well educated; they aren’t too bad." Han Ruoxue placed Lan Yu’s information in front of Han Yufan.
"I am confident I can make Lan Yu appear on the biggest international runway."
The siblings continued their heated discussion in the office, while Tangning stood outside listening to the whole conversation. She had dropped by the building because she had been asked to come pick up some gifts left by her fans. However, never would she have expected to find, her gifts had been torn open and thrown everywhere by the staff.
A moment later, the office room opened; three beautiful young girls walked out. They all started sizing up Tangning with their eyes - especially the girl named Lan Yu.
Tangning sneered inside. There were times when she couldn’t help but admit, there was no limit to how sinister these siblings could be.
"Oh, it’s you!" Upon seeing Tangning, Han Ruoxue immediately looked disgusted.
Tangning threw her torn up gifts in front of Han Ruoxue, "After paying your compensation, were you so poor that you had to tear up my gifts?"
"Tangning, watch your attitude," Han Ruoxue pointed at Tangning as she yelled. "Even though you have a bit of fame now, you are still the company’s artist, and I am the Artists Director. Plus, if a model hasn’t been invited to the Bright Night Gala it means they aren’t being acknowledged as part of the industry, so what right do you have to speak loudly to the company’s higher-ups?"
"Did I really...not get invited?" Tangning looked at Han Ruoxue; her eyes were filled with ridicule and disdain.
Han Yufan’s heart skipped a beat; he was becoming more and more certain that Tangning knew what had happened...
...it was just that she was too good at enduring and too good at controlling her emotions; pretty much no one could tell what she was thinking.
"Of course not..." Han Ruoxue replied in certainty. "What? You can’t accept the truth? Do you want to go as well? Too bad, you won’t have the chance..."
"Tangning, tonight just focus on your magazine shoot. Stop thinking about the Bright Night Gala. You don’t want to be easily distracted," Han Yufan gripped onto the pen in his hand as he tried to convince Tangning. "The Bright Night Gala definitely did not invite you, so stop wasting your time doing useless things."
Tangning gently laughed; she wasn’t angered by Han Ruoxue at all. In fact, just the thought of what was to happen soon...she was extremely amused.
"I will definitely play my part as a model, but, next time someone tears apart my gifts, they should expect a letter from my lawyer!"
"I never thought, the daughter of a perfume empire would fancy a few simple gifts."
"The gifts are not the main issue...the main issue is, when it comes to Tianyi, I won’t allow you to reap any benefits..." After speaking, Tangning was ready to leave, but Han Yufan stopped her.
"Have you already finalized TQ’s contract?"
"Of course," Tangning responded.
"It’s rumored TQ aren’t easy to deal with, how did you manage to do it?"
"You don’t need to worry about that," Tangning’s voice was calm and contained a sense of pride.
After all...Mo Ting’s abilities were beyond what Han Yufan could achieve in a lifetime.
Han Yufan stopped responding because everything he said was to test Tangning, but looking at her back as it got smaller and smaller, he still could not figure what she was thinking.
"Jie, I suspect Tangning already knows about...the Bright Night Gala."
After hearing this, Han Ruoxue paused for a moment before speaking, "It doesn’t matter if she knows or not; I will not allow her to appear at the scene. Yufan, keep her busy; I don’t care if you make her shoot a magazine or anything else you can think of, we need to watch over her carefully. We can’t allow anything to go wrong."
"Otherwise, we can only watch as her threat towards us grows stronger and stronger."
"Understood," Han Yufan responded sincerely, "I will definitely not repeat the same mistakes."
They couldn’t allow Tangning to have the opportunity to scheme against Tianyi again!
