Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Shen Zhao rolled her eyes and thought to herself, I don’t think so. He only has a good temper in front of you. If you go and be his subordinate for a day, you will definitely grit your teeth in hatred.
Of course, Shen Zhao did not say these. If her cousin found out, the new piano that she had been longing for would be ruined.
“Yaoyao, go take an afternoon nap.” Shen Zhao didn’t dare to let Jing Yao look at her cell phone anymore.
Jing Yao had already developed the habit of taking an afternoon nap. She was indeed tired at this time, but she was too embarra.s.sed to leave Shen Zhao alone in the living room.
“Go to sleep. I’ll argue with them again. These people have aroused my fighting spirit.” Shen Zhao saw that she was in a difficult position and took the initiative to speak.
Since she said so, Jing Yao didn’t say anything else and went upstairs to take an afternoon nap.
Zhu Ling agreed to Shen Yu’s request, but because she had a lot of things to do, she didn’t arrive at the agreed location until past one o’clock.
Because of Shen Yu’s ident.i.ty, the venue they agreed on was a private restaurant. There were fewer people and it was private.
When Zhu Ling arrived, Shen Yu was sitting in the private room. He was so hungry that he was almost lying on the table.
When he saw Zhu Ling, he didn’t even have time to greet her. He hurriedly urged the attendant, “Bring up the dishes I ordered first.”
After the attendant left, he stood up and pulled a chair for Zhu Ling.
Zhu Ling thanked him and sat down. Then, she said in embarra.s.sment, “I had something on at the last minute. I’m sorry for being late.”
Shen Yu smiled and said, “If you had come a little later, you could have collected my corpse directly.”
Zhu Ling was speechless. “Is that exaggerated?”
Shen Yu shook his head. “This is really not an exaggeration. I don’t understand. You have a big business. Even if you don’t do anything, you won’t have to worry about food and clothes for the rest of your life. Why do you have to make yourself so tired? Do you still have to wade into the muddy waters of the entertainment industry?”
Zhu Ling thought for a moment and said, “I didn’t expect to enter the entertainment industry at first. This industry is very chaotic. I just couldn’t stand seeing Zhang Li send her biological daughter to a wolf’s den, so I decided to be Yaoyao’s manager. You know what kind of place Stardust Entertainment is. It relied on some despicable methods to make a fortune. If Jing Yao was alone inside, she would have long been eaten up.”
Shen Yu was a little moved. “You have a deep sisterly relationship, but don’t worry. You’ve already made it. With Liang Xun around, no one will dare to touch Jing Yao in the future.”
Zhu Ling sighed and didn’t say anything. Jing Yao had told her that it was just a deal with Liang Xun.
She hoped that Jing Yao would find someone she truly loved, or she wouldn’t find a man at all. The two of them could make a name for themselves, but it was useless to say anything now.
“What cooperation do you want to talk to me about?” Zhu Ling changed the topic.
Shen Yu took out the program proposal for her to see. “This, are you interested in seeing it?”
Zhu Ling read it quickly and then looked up at Shen Yu in disbelief. “Although Jing Yao worked with you before, she wasn’t even named in it. Are you sure she’s suitable?”
Shen Yu said matter-of-factly, “Why not? The production team invited some people and gave me a few spots. They asked me to invite a few of them myself. Isn’t it a good opportunity for Jing Yao to return to the public eye?”
Zhu Ling nodded. “Of course, but there are also many rumors. Look at what kind of people the production team invited. The lowest is a B-list or C-list celebrity. Yaoyao can’t even be considered a Z-list celebrity. When someone wants to take advantage of this, it will be another basin of dirty water.”
Shen Yu said nonchalantly, “It’s nothing. 1 invited several people similar to Jing Yao in that production team back then.”
Zhu Ling was speechless.
Shen Yu smiled. “So, are you accepting this show?”
Zhu Ling no longer hesitated. She decided and said, “Why not? It’s a free gift. I’d be a fool not to take advantage of it.”
The smile on Shen Yu’s face deepened as he sent a message to Liang Xun.
Shen Yu: [Done. I’ll leave Sister-in-law to you.]
Liang Xun replied briefly, “Okay.” When he returned home that night, he told Jing Yao about this.
Jing Yao had already found out from Zhu Ling. Now that Liang Xun asked for her opinion, she naturally had no reason to disagree. She said without hesitation, “Okay.”
Then, she smiled and said to Liang Xun, “Shen Yu is really loyal. I have to treat him to a meal one day and thank him properly.”
Liang Xun’s expression darkened. “Why aren’t you thanking me?”
Jing Yao hurriedly said, “Thank you.”
A scheming look flashed across Liang Xun’s eyes. “Why don’t you thank me in another way?”
“What?” Jing Yao looked up at him in confusion.
Liang Xun took the opportunity to kiss her on the lips. Then, to Jing Yao’s shock, he chuckled. “A thank-you gift for me..”
