Chapter 28 Oh~ what a coincidence~

Chao Xian gets off work very early. When she enters the elevator from the 20th floor, there are almost no people. But every time she gets to the 18th floor, she runs into Ren Zi who is coming downstairs.

It's just that Ren Zi goes down to different floors every day, so Chao Xian only thinks it's a coincidence.

Hearing Mu Yunzhou mention it today, Chao Xian's sluggish mind began to ponder.

Chao Xian then nodded seriously: "It wasn't very frequent at the beginning, but it seems like I run into you every day these past few days."

Chao Xian paused for a moment, glanced at Mu Yunzhou beside him, and the elevator doors opened: "It might just be a coincidence."

Mu Yunzhou responded with an "oh" upon hearing this.

He nodded slightly, seemingly lost in thought, his tone ambiguous: "Oh, it was just a coincidence."

Chao Xian felt that Mu Yunzhou's words seemed to have some other meaning.

But when she turned her head, she saw Mu Yunzhou's serious expression.

Chao Xian then realized that he was overthinking things.

In the office, Su Ge was still looking at the resources that were suitable for Chao Xian.

When the door opened, Su Ge looked up and first saw Chao Xian. Just as she was about to speak, she noticed the man behind Chao Xian.

Suger, who was sitting down, immediately put down the documents in his hand and stood up.

"Mr. Mu, what brings you here today?"

Su Ge's voice was filled with doubt as he cautiously glanced at Mu Yunzhou and then at Chao Xian, who had sat down directly on the sofa.

Surely it wasn't for sending Chao Xian away?

But Chao Xian had always driven himself here before.

Suger was very interested, but he never showed it on his face.

"The head office received an anonymous tip that someone in the company is using improper means to obtain resources, and the agents and artists are clearly listed on the website. I happened to have some free time today, so I came to take a look."

Mu Yunzhou spoke casually.

Suger's expression changed upon hearing this.

The company's internal resource allocation is given to the upper-level agents every month so that they can keep track of the latest developments, but there have been no inappropriate resource allocations in the past few months.

“I’ve reviewed the company’s internal resource allocation for this month, and I personally think there’s nothing wrong with it. Please wait a moment.” Su Ge handed Mu Yunzhou one of the forms from his drawer.

Chao Xian listened to their conversation from the side, and silently took out the script she had packed and placed it on the coffee table next to her.

Mu Yunzhou glanced at it, hummed in agreement, and didn't look at it in detail: "Agents who are still in the company, go to Conference Room One immediately for a meeting. Those who are not in the company will have an online meeting."

Suger immediately went out to inform his assistant to send them a notification.

Chao was sitting on the sofa, originally intending to leave his manager's office to go to the classroom where he had previously taken classes to practice some more, but unexpectedly Mu Yunzhou asked, "Tell your assistant what you want to eat for lunch, and he will make a reservation for the restaurant."

As Mu Yunzhou spoke, he reached out and handed his phone to Chao Xian.

Chao Xian subconsciously took the phone and watched Mu Yunzhou and Su Ge leave.

Chao Xian stared blankly at his phone.

I'm a little confused, since I have my assistant's contact information too!

Chao Xian turned on his phone; the default wallpaper was displayed. He hesitated for a moment, then slowly swiped upwards, and the phone turned on.

So unguarded.

Chao Xian was thinking.

After all, they were just a fake couple.

Isn't Mu Yunzhou afraid that he'll sell him out?

In the original story, it was because the original owner betrayed them that the Mu family ended up in that state.

It now seems that not only is it the original owner's responsibility, but also a small part of the responsibility lies with Mu Yunzhou.

Chao Xian decided what she wanted to eat and sent it to her assistant.

Confirm the restaurant.

I was really bored sitting in the office.

He then decided to leave the office and go down to the lower floors to take a look.

After signing with the company, Chao Xian has only been on the 20th floor and hasn't been to the other floors yet. Chao Xian remembers that the 19th floor is the finance department, and the 10th to 18th floors are almost all the artists' dance studios, dressing rooms, and makeup rooms.

Further down is the office area for regular brokers, as well as some other staff.

Chao Xian planned to walk down to the bottom.

There are many artists below, with male and female artists on different floors.

The 18th floor consists of trainees who haven't debuted yet or boy groups that debuted not long ago.

Wearing a mask, Chao Xian went down to the 18th floor. As soon as she entered the 18th floor, she could hear music. The drumbeats were intense. Chao Xian walked over out of curiosity and saw that it was a dance studio with the door open.

Inside, a group of boys were practicing dance by counting beats.

The boy sitting next to her was someone Chao Xian knew.

Ren Zi.

Chao Xian glanced at it briefly before looking away, wanting to wander off to another place.

Before I could even move my feet, the music inside suddenly stopped.

Someone turned off the music.

"Ren Zi, what's wrong?"

"The variety show no longer belongs to us, so there's no point in you dancing anymore."

Ren Zi's tone was anything but polite.

When Chao Xian heard this voice, he remembered that Ren Zi always appeared obedient and well-behaved when facing him, but now she seemed to be completely different.

Chao Xian stopped and leaned against the wall, listening to the conversation inside.

Standing in front of everyone, the boy who seemed to be the team leader whispered, "Brother Wei hasn't said yet whether we'll be on that variety show or someone else, so we still have a chance."

"Yes, we can get these resources if we perform well in Brother Wei's hands."

Ren Zi found it somewhat amusing to hear the people in front of him, unsure whether it was because of their naivety or because they simply couldn't understand good or bad words.

"The reporting forms have already been submitted, and I've checked them; they don't have our names on them."

Upon hearing this, the team members were stunned, and the dance studio fell silent.

No one spoke; the only sounds were the panting breaths of everyone exhausted after dancing.

Some people sat on the ground, while others held mineral water bottles.

Just as Chao Xian was about to leave, someone suddenly spoke up:

"But those people are no match for us in terms of looks or dancing."

The voice was faint, as if someone was on the verge of giving up and collapsing.

It was like the final splash of ice water to extinguish a flame.

It makes people lose hope.

Ren Zi suddenly laughed when he heard this: "But they have money, they have powerful backers, we don't, we have nothing."

Ren Zi's voice grew calmer and calmer.

But it was a fact that everyone already knew.

After hearing this, Chao Xian turned and left.

He roughly understood why he had run into Ren Zi, and who had written the anonymous whistleblower letter from headquarters.

Even though he hadn't read the contents of the letter.

Chao Xian guessed it too.

When Mu Yunzhou finished his meeting and came to pick up Chao Xian, he only saw Chao Xian standing in front of the window outside the office.

It's like taking a breath of fresh air and looking at the scenery outside.

Mu Yunzhou walked over and stood next to Chao Xian.

Chao Xian handed the phone to Mu Yunzhou, who took it directly.

"You seem to have forgotten that I also have my assistant's contact information, so I don't need to use your phone to send messages to my assistant."

Chao Xian seemed to be reminding Mu Yunzhou: "You'd better put a password on your phone. What if you lose it one day and someone sees important contracts or something on it?"

Chao Xian was already subtly reminding Mu Yunzhou.

Mu Yunzhou is just so naive.

Thinking this through, Chao Xian repeatedly reminded everyone, "You absolutely must set a password!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Yunzhou closed his eyes slightly.

Speechless.

Chao Xian recalled what she had just overheard on the 18th floor.

"By the way, I know who wrote the anonymous whistleblower letter. It seems that the agent was paid or something."

Mu Yunzhou said calmly, "I know that their manager only has two boy groups that are suitable for resources. It's easy to see who benefits after the report."

Chao Xian said "oh".

He relied on eavesdropping.

But Mu Yunzhou already knew.

"Moreover, one of the people who wrote the whistleblower letter is the boy band member who happens to meet you every day."

When Mu Yunzhou uttered those adjectives, he spoke almost word by word.

It's as if they're making fun of Chao Xian.

How could someone make fun of someone with such a serious expression?

Chao Xian's intuition told him that Mu Yunzhou was acting very strangely.

"You get off work earlier than everyone else, and the probability of you running into the same person every time is even lower than the probability of you winning the lottery."

Mu Yunzhou patiently reminded:

"Moreover, this person has ulterior motives; they're either after you or your money."

"I have no money."

Chao Xian spoke up subconsciously.

Mu Yunzhou felt a headache coming on.

It turns out that after saying so much, Chao Xian only heard this one sentence.

Chao Xian realized he might have said something wrong, so he quickly shut his mouth and nodded obediently.

It indicates that you understand.

It's still early before lunchtime.

Chao Xian then discussed the script with Su Ge.

He was very satisfied with this villainous role.

Upon learning of Chao Xian's intentions, Su Ge asked Chao Xian when she would have time to have dinner with her acting teacher and director.

We'll finalize the casting when the time comes.

Mu Yunzhou suddenly coughed, and Su Ge forgot that Mu Yunzhou was still in the office.

Looking up, his survival instincts were extremely strong: "Don't worry, I absolutely won't drink. Our company absolutely does not promote drinking culture!"

Su Ge's tone was full of assurance, and his fearless demeanor made Mu Yunzhou unable to bear watching; he was overacting.

Chao Xian turned to look at Mu Yunzhou.

But they noticed that Mu Yunzhou didn't look at them or make any movements, as if his cough was just because his throat was uncomfortable.

Chao Xian turned back to look at Su Ge.

That blank look, coupled with that look of disbelief, made Su Ge feel utterly exhausted.

Su Ge dared not describe to Chao Xian the look Mu Yunzhou had just given him.

I'm afraid I'll be fired tomorrow just because I stepped into the company with my left foot.

Mu Yunzhou watched the two people at the desk continue their discussion, his eyes lowered, showing no interest in what they were doing.

Who's worried about drinking culture?

With Chao Xian's constitution of being a lightweight, who knows what kind of trouble he might cause if he drinks alcohol.

Of course, it's best not to drink it.

Upon learning that Chao Xian was always available, Su Ge quickly nodded, "Okay, then I won't keep you and President Mu from having dinner. You can go ahead now, and I'll send you the time and place for dinner later."

Socrates said this.

Before Chao Xian could say anything else, he was already taken aback by Su Ge's eager manner.

Is it because one of our own people is too big and is blocking Suger's work?

Chao Xian took a deep breath.

He snorted and left Suger's office.

Talking behind the agent's back.

I was so quiet, and I usually rested in Su Ge's office, and I never saw Su Ge say anything.

They actually kicked him out today!

Chao Xian truly didn't understand.

Mu Yunzhou followed behind Chao Xian, watching Chao Xian as he was keeping accounts, without saying a word, until they got on the elevator.

Chao Xian finally remembered that there was someone with him.

Chao Xian's suspicious gaze fell on Mu Yunzhou, and hesitantly asked, "Could it be because of you... that my manager made me leave?"
