Chapter 111 - What Kind of Perverse Operation Is This?
The noisy pavilion went silent in a second.
Everyone was both scared and curious as a crowd began to build up.
A black Audi parked at the entrance of the manor, and a very elite looking man stepped out of the car. He was dressed in a stiff black suit and rimless gla.s.ses. Compared to someone from the entertainment industry, he looked more like a financial tyc.o.o.n from an investment bank.
Si Chuanbai was a well-known agent in the entertainment industry. He was ruthless and decisive and had boosted several celebrities to fame with his efforts.
Pa.s.sing by the pavilion, he pushed his gla.s.ses and greeted everyone present with a smile.
They all greeted him back:
"Good morning, Mr. Si."
"h.e.l.lo, Mr. Si."
"Mr. Si, s.h.i.+ Yingdi is in the living room."
Si Chuanbai: "Thank you."
"My G.o.d… Mr. Si has an even more oppressing aura than a domineering CEO..."
At the same time...
In the living room, Xiang Yi and her agent Ah Nan were happily slurping up bowls of braised beef rice noodles.
The sirloin beef had been simmered overnight so the meat was tender and fragrant. The stewed marinade seeped out of the meat when bitten. Matched with fine rice noodles made from sticky rice, the dish had a sweet and refres.h.i.+ng taste. Along with a few side dishes, Ah Nan was not able to stop.
s.h.i.+ Sui was eating his noodles slowly and methodically. He was by no means a picky eater, and he happily ate anything Xiang Yi made with sweet vigor.
As for Xiang Yu, who was a standard night owl, was still asleep at this hour, so Xiang Yi had left him a bowl of rice.
"Another bowl! Burrrp!" Ah Nan couldn"t contain a burp escaping from his mouth.
Xiang Yi smiled. "If you eat more, you"ll go into hibernation."
Ah Nan gazed at her with watery eyes.
The door to the manor was open, and this scene was witnessed by Si Chuanbai at the door.
Unconsciously thinking of the posts that were about to grace the front page of the melon forum, his eyebrow twitched fiercely as he raised his hand and tapped on the door.
The three people at the table looked toward the sound.
s.h.i.+ Sui greeted him in a natural manner. "Did you eat breakfast?"
Si Chuanbai calmly mumbled a "mhm". "I need to talk with you."
s.h.i.+ Sui wiped the corner of his mouth and straightened his posture. He then stood up and followed Si Chuanbai to the balcony.
Ah Nan looked after him longingly. "So this is a top-tier agent… He seems so prestigious. Waah, and his hair is so dense, and his briefcase is made from top quality leather!"
Xiang Yi: "..." This observation was very "Ah Nan".
"Top-tier agent?" She asked.
Ah Nan explained, "That"s the standard in our managing agency circle. Si Chuanbai has impeccable professional ability, and he can tear apart resources without being soft. The most important thing is that he has a good eye for talent; he was the one who had saved s.h.i.+ Yingdi back in the day."
Saved?
Xiang Yi wanted to press on for the details when Xiao Naofu hopped into her arms. It rubbed against her fingertips and exposed its round white belly to Xiang Yi.
The girl said strictly: "No. The sirloin has a lot of seasoning, and you will get a stomachache."
"Meow~~"
— Just one piece! One piece!
Xiang Yi hesitated for a moment, unable to resist the cuteness of Xiao Naofu. Afterward, she picked up a piece of beef and rinsed it with water before giving it to Xiao Naofu.
Xiao Naofu ate it with one bite, its icy blue pupils instantly widening.
Meow?
Such delicious food actually exists on this planet?!!
Xiang Yi had been thoroughly interrupted by it and had forgotten what she had wanted to ask Ah Nan.
At the balcony.
Si Chuanbai handed s.h.i.+ Sui a mobile phone, pausing on the page from Melon forum with the header [Everyday I"m Hunting for Candy Among the Shattered Gla.s.s of the Untimely CP].
"Look for yourself what kind of public opinions are fermenting right now."
s.h.i.+ Sui scrolled through the post, reading the several hundred replies below it. Then...
He slowly tapped the like b.u.t.ton of the original post.
Si Chuanbai: ?
Motherf*cker, what kind of an operation is this???
