Tom immediately frowned and said unhappily, "Hey! Who told you to throw rubbish in ZQ? Pick it up."
When Forrest heard Tom's words, he turned around and saw Tom pointing at the wet tissue on the
ground. He said unhappily, "Are you talking to me?" Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
"Exactly. There's no one else." Tom said rudely. He had just seen that Forrest was very enthusiastic
about his fans, so he had a good impression of Forrest. However, he didn't expect Forrest to belittle his
fans like that as soon as he turned around. Forrest even threw away the trash, which displayed his ill
manners. Since such an immoral person could be an artist, it must be said that the threshold of this
industry was really getting lower. Before that, Tom had also read the news that many celebrities had
fabricated academic qualifications and so on.
Forrest's education level was not high. When he was discovered by the star scouts, he didn't receive
much education, and his quality was not very high. Besides, since the scandal six months ago,
everything had gone wrong. Now he was in a bad mood. When he encountered a nameless blue collar
who dared to yell at him, he immediately became angry. He felt that his dignity was challenged.
That was right. In his opinion, Tom was just a laborer. The lowest one who could never climb to ZQ's
top positions.
It was not his fault. After four years of living as a matrilocal husband, Tom was now perfectly integrated
into the ranks of ordinary people. As long as he did not deliberately exude his aura, he looked like a
lowly person, not to mention that he was now wearing ordinary clothes. Therefore, average people
would not think of him as the chairman of ZQ.
"Do you know who I am? How dare you talk to me like this?" Forrest walked back and said to Tom in an
absolutely arrogant and disdainful manner.
Tom looked cold. A has-been little star dared to be arrogant in front of him, the chairman of ZQ. How
ridiculous!
"It has nothing to do with me who you are. This is the ZQ Media, not a garbage dump, not a place
where you can throw rubbish at will." Tom said.
Forrest was very angry. He was a big star, and many fans wanted to see him. Now, this poor guy dared
to shout at him. It was too presumptuous. "A man who loses position and influence may be subjected
to much indignity." At that moment, he understood the feeling deeply.
"I did throw away the trash. What's wrong? Are you going to hit me?" Forrest laughed out of anger,
forced out a playful smile, and stared at Tom. Then he took out a pack of tissues from his assistant,
tore them up one by one in front of Tom, and then scattered them on the ground. He stepped on a few
feet and looked at Tom provocatively.
Anyway, there was no people or cameras in this corner, and there was no possibility of being
discovered. Forrest would humiliate Tom as much as he wanted!
He was a willful person. On the surface, he was a man of moral integrity. In fact, he had a bad temper
and was bad-mannered. His assistant was scolded by him dozens of times a day and was treated like
a dog.
Tom looked deeply at Forrest. "Young man, I advise you not to be arrogant. You'd better pick up the
rubbish on the ground and apologize to me. You still have a way out. Otherwise, you won't be able to
survive in this industry."
Tom was not joking. With his power, it was not easy to ruin the future of a celebrity with a huge
fanbase. With his personality, he usually disdained to do such a thing, but now this Forrest really
provoked him, and the consequences of his anger were very serious!
But his threat did not scare Forrest at all. Instead, Forrest smiled. "Oh, how dare you threaten me? It
seems that you, a country bumpkin, don't know who I am!"
"I didn't know you before, but now I know. A little star who's been past his prime." Tom said teasingly.
When Forrest heard this, his face immediately darkened. He gritted his teeth and glared at Tom angrily.
"Bullshit! I'm a popular celebrity. When did I past my prime?"
He actually talked dirty. If his fans knew about it, they would be shocked. There would be more people
who stopped supporting him.
The manager frowned and walked over and said in an unfriendly tone, "Hand it over."
"What?"
The manager said, "Stop pretending. Hand over the recording pen. You don't have to deny it. If you
come here to find fault with Forrest, you must be from a paparazzi of some media."
Tom was amused. "Do I have to find fault with him? He was the one who threw rubbish everywhere.
With his quality, no wonder there was a scandal."
Forrest clenched his fists and cursed angrily, "How dare you! Who gave you the courage to scold me? I
think you want to die!"
As he finished speaking, the two bodyguards behind him came out and surrounded Tom. The manager
also said coldly, "Well, no matter which media you are from, I will warn you one last time. Please hand
over the recording pen. Otherwise, I will not be polite to you!"
Tom was too lazy to talk to them and said directly, "Psycho, I don't have a recording pen on me, let
alone a paparazzi. You're here to talk about cooperation, right? There's no need to go up. Now I'll
refuse you. ZQ will never work with low-quality artists. Get lost."
When the agent heard Tom's words, he was stunned for a moment. Then he looked at Tom carefully
and muttered to himself, was this young man in front of him ZQ's senior leader? That didn't make
sense. She had been in this circle for a long time and had worked with ZQ several times. However, she
had never heard of such a young person in ZQ's senior management.
However, the agent still asked cautiously, "Who are you? What right do you have to make decisions for
ZQ?"
Tom looked at the time. It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon. He still had a lot of things to deal
with. He was a little impatient and said directly, "I'm ZQ's new boss. Now, get out of here."
The atmosphere suddenly quieted down and they all looked at Tom in astonishment. The next moment,
they all laughed in unison, as if they had heard a big joke.
"Hahaha..."
"Did I hear it right? This guy actually said that he was ZQ's new chairman? So amusing."
"What a fool! There are so many shameless people this year! However, it's the first time I've seen such
a shameless person like him. He's supposed to take a look of himself at the mirror. With his poor
appearance, how dare he say that he's the chairman of ZQ?"
"I also know bragging. I'll say I'm the richest man in the world!"
"If he were the Chairman of ZQ, I would eat all the rubbish on the ground. It's so funny."
They all laughed and looked at Tom with extreme sarcasm, as if they were looking at a fool.
Tom had already experienced this kind of misunderstanding a lot. He was not angry, but helpless. He
wondered if he had been too low-key. In the future, before coming to the company, he would directly
wear a suit.
Seeing that Tom was calm and didn't speak, they thought he was afraid and laughed even louder.
At this moment, the agent's phone rang. When she saw the caller ID, she immediately put away her
ridicule and became serious. She also made a 'Shh' gesture to Forrest and the others. She then said in
a low voice, "It's Mr. Cook calling. Everyone, stop talking."
She carefully picked up the phone with fawningly and said respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Cook... Yes, Forrest
and I have arrived, just downstairs... What, you want to come and pick us up yourself? That's not
necessary. How can we... Oh, oh, oh, oh, okay, we'll be..."
After the agent hung up the phone, she was excited and said happily to Forrest, "Great. Mr. Cook
personally came down to welcome us up. He is full of sincerity! It seems that we are about to make a
good fortune and can successfully sign a contract with ZQ!"
Forrest was also full of excitement when he heard that. He shook his fist forcefully. Suddenly, he
thought of something and said to Tom jokingly, "What did you say just now? You are ZQ's new
chairman, and you wanted to chase us out of ZQ? Now ZQ's Mr. Cook is coming soon. Let's see how
you act later. Let me tell you, that kind of behavior you just did has caused a crime. You can wait to go
to jail! Even a small paparazzi would dare to oppose me. That's ridiculous!"
His expression was full of arrogance and disdain, like a scoundrel realizing his ambition.
