Chapter 26: Crazy Day 26 Oh, Woman
In some entertainment novels, authors often arrange some outrageous plots to enhance the relationship between the male and female protagonists and give readers sweet moments. For example, at the height of a concert, a top idol confesses his love to his girlfriend on the spot.
That would have been fine, but the author even went so far as to arrange for the fan following to instantly become CP fans, and start praising the sister-in-law's looks, shouting how sweet it was, so sweet that it would give her diabetes.
The more the star-chasing fans in the novel wowed and said they were sweet and well-matched, the more angry the real-life star-chasing fans became, some even shouting at the top of their lungs: "What a vicious author! The lives of star-chasing fans are also lives."
Although this type of novel has only emerged in recent years and is not worthy of being called "old-fashioned", it is on par with the old-fashioned domineering novels in terms of craziness.
She instantly became a CP fan, and it was considered polite of a fan girl not to destroy the place.
They wish they could crawl into the screen and slap the top idols in the face, yelling at them to die, and officially announce their retirement!
He also slapped the fangirls in the book, "Can you please stop embarrassing us fangirls? Stop kneeling and stand up to chase your idol!"
Listening to the system explain the reason for this task, Tan Mo also felt a little angry. "Who wrote this?"
"She wrote "Boiled Meatballs," "The Priceless Little Wife," and "The Superstar's First Love."
Tan Mo was speechless. "Why does she always write these kind of crazy plots? I'm not a fan, but I've heard there are rules in the fandom circle: idols aren't allowed to date. Isn't a plot like this where idols confess their love for their girlfriends at a concert the death of any fangirl?"
System: "Furthermore, the overlap between readers and fangirls is quite high. As soon as this plot came out, many readers gave negative ratings, causing the "Shuizhuwan" to go out of style. That's why this task was created. You have to make Hu Jiayu quit the circle when he makes his official announcement."
Tan Mo was a little conflicted: "This isn't a good idea. After all, it's someone else's job."
"Again, huh?" The system knew Tan Mo's half-hearted approach. "Complete this mission and the reward will be 8 million."
"That's not what I meant." She admitted that she was a little moved, but when she looked at Lin Yu lying on the sofa with red eyes, she felt even more melancholy. After all, he was her friend's boyfriend.
"10 million."
“I’ll do it!”
"Oh, woman."
Tan Mo's heart was pounding with excitement. After all, it was a big order of 10 million. She casually clicked on the balance on the screen. It was 201.48 million. It had been stuck at more than 20 million for several days.
How much gossip does she have to listen to to earn 10 million?
No matter what you suffer, don’t make yourself suffer!
After the system exited, Tan Mo recalled that the last time she tried hard to make money from gossip was when she treated Nangong Lie as a toy.
Sure enough, this really affected her speed in drawing her sword.
Although she had become a real daughter and Nangong Xiong had given her a lot of disposable money, the system had told her that this money could not be brought back to her original world. If Tan Mo still wanted to return to her original world, the only thing she could take out was the gossip money.
As for Tan Mo, deep down she still wants to return to the real world.
Because in the world of books, perhaps because she knew that these were all characters in the book, she always kept a bystander mentality, which made her feel no sense of reality.
Even if she were to take away Hu Jiayu's job now, she would feel a little sorry for Lin Yu, but as long as she thought that he was just a paper man, her guilt would be reduced a lot, almost to nothing.
"Why are you looking at Lin Yu so seriously?" Lu Xingjian's gentle voice interrupted Tan Mo.
Tan Mo, who was originally sitting in the boss's chair with her cheeks in her hands, looked up and saw Lu Xingjian holding cut fruits and warm water and placing them in front of her one by one.
He was even considerate enough to bring her some melon seeds.
You know what, when Tan Mo was listening to the systematic popular science article about the entertainment industry just now, she really wanted to crack some melon seeds.
Tan Mo's eyes lit up, "Lu Xingjian, what would I do without you?"
It's really hard to find someone who is so compatible with her and understands her so well.
"Pecan flavor." Lu Xingjian said.
Tan Mo couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "I appoint you as my first personal assistant. Follow me, and you will be indispensable in the future."
Lu Xingjian raised his eyebrows slightly, "Then remember what I said today. When Qin Ming comes back next time..."
"What's going on with him?" Tan Mo opened her innocent eyes wide.
Lu Xingjian suppressed the corners of his mouth that were turning upwards, "It's best that you have this awareness, and I hope you can keep it."
He then handed her a document. "This is some information I compiled about Hu Jiayu and the other contracted companies. It also includes the relevant laws for suing them for breach of contract. I'm still discussing some details with the legal department."
Oh my God, during the time she was slacking off, Lu Xingjian actually did so many things.
It turned out to be the talented little baby she had noticed during the interview.
"How can I live without you?" Tan Mo was touched. "Give me a raise, I must give you a raise."
Anyway, it’s not her money that’s added.
Tan Mo didn't feel bad about taking it out.
The fight with Nangong Lie at home a few days ago consumed too many brain cells, and Tan Mo became lazy.
She smiled maliciously, "If you can change the warm water to ice water, I'll give you more money. It's so hot, warm water isn't refreshing enough."
Unexpectedly, Lu Xingjian subconsciously cared about something other than money and reminded her, "Did you forget that you had a stomachache after drinking ice water two days ago?"
Tan Mo was about to make a few excuses for herself when she heard Lin Yu yell, "Let me do it."
Tan Mo and Lu Xingjian both looked over.
"Are you not crying anymore?" Tan Mo asked.
Since she met Lin Yu in the morning, she has never seen Lin Yu's eyes dry.
"I have to cheer up. My love is gone, so is my career going to fail too?" Especially when she saw Lu Xingjian's efficient action, she was still crying. Lin Yu actually felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.
"Okay, okay, then pour me a glass of ice water with lots of ice cubes." Tan Mo encouraged, and felt even more guilty about what she was going to do in the future.
After a while, Lin Yu poured the ice water and calmed down, and his eyes were no longer red.
"Where?"
Tan Mo was half lying on the boss chair, raising her arm and pointing at the table. Before she could say anything, she heard Lin Yu scream, and then her chest felt cold, and liquid flowed down from her chest.
The cold water and ice cubes were accidentally splashed on Tan Mo, and were all caught by Tan Mo who was lying flat on her back.
The skin was frozen to the point of being completely numb, and even felt faintly warm after the coldness.
Tan Mo was numb: "...Lin Yu, don't play those 'Woman, you've successfully caught my attention' games with me. I won't accept that kind of domineering CEO trick."
The guilt is gone, but the urge to curse has reached its peak.
Lin Yu: ...
She panicked and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't see the road clearly, and my foot was caught on the carpet just now."
Lin Yu quickly picked up Tan Mo and shook off the ice in his arms.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Lu Xingjian rushed in immediately after hearing the noise.
Tan Mo didn't want to cry at first, but after seeing Lu Xingjian, who was so reliable and made her feel safe, she actually choked up and sobbed.
It's so unfair!
Outrageous!
I must earn her money!
But unexpectedly, before Tan Mo's tears fell, Lin Yu's tears kept falling, wetting the back of Tan Mo's hand.
"I haven't even said anything to you yet, what are you crying about?" Tan Mo stopped pretending to cry.
This scene gave Lu Xingjian a headache.
He was most afraid of seeing a woman crying, just like when Nangong Lie was helpless because of Xu Xiaonian's madness, "I'll go get towels for you two."
"I just feel like I'm terrible. I can't do anything, I can't say anything. I feel like a failure."
Tan Mo helped her to the sofa, and only then she realized that Lin Yu was crying even more miserably than Xu Xiaonian when she was heartbroken, with snot and tears streaming down her face.
"It's been so many days, and I'm still thinking about this. Why should I cry for someone who doesn't keep his word?"
Tan Mo understood. "Are you talking about the fact that someone else took photos of your boyfriend with another woman?"
Ah, I feel so tired after finishing speaking.
This confusing sentence was the secret code between Tan Mo and Lin Yu when Lin Yu did not want to reveal that her boyfriend was Hu Jiayu.
After seeing the message about Hu Jiayu on their phone that day, Tan Mo and Lin Yu called him countless times.
Lin Yu nodded. "I've thought about it a lot, and I still feel that the difference in status between him and me is too great, which is why I'm so worried about gains and losses."
Come to think of it, having a secret relationship with a big star is not as good as having a crazy relationship with Nangong Lie. At least it is open and aboveboard and unique. When Xu Xiaonian is wronged, she can bombard Nangong Lie like a cannonball, and the bombing will also affect the assistant, nanny, driver and doctor.
Of course, people like Lin Yu are also very useless to the boss.
Tan Mo smiled bitterly: When I was an assistant, I had to endure the pain of love. I didn’t expect that I would have to endure it when I became a boss. Hahaha, this world is hopeless.
"Your boyfriend and..." Tan Mo was stuck for a long time, and really couldn't think of any word to replace "rumored girlfriend".
She was tired. "If you admit that your boyfriend is Hu Jiayu, I will let you be the boss and go to his company to find him."
Lin Yu: "It's him, it's him, it's him."
*
It sounds easy to make Hu Jiayu officially announce his retirement, but as a top star who has been deified by capital, even if Hu Jiayu wants to retire, the capital behind him may not agree.
Tan Mo planned to first find out the opinions of the capital behind the scenes, and to see the situation of the scandal that arose after Hu Jiayu signed the contract with Longsheng Group.
"Before lunch, President Nangong left the company, accompanied by several lawyers. Although I don't know where they were going, it's likely they were going to Jince Entertainment."
While listening to Lu Xingjian's work report and scrolling through her iPad, Tan Mo nodded and said she understood.
She remembered that Jince Entertainment was Hu Jiayu's company, which mainly dealt in idol music, film and television, variety shows and artist management.
"The old man said that in order to make up for the loophole caused by Hu Jiayu's endorsement, it is nothing more than asking the agency to pay compensation. It is understandable that Nangong Lie brought people there." Any boss with a little bit of common sense would do this.
"Aren't you in a hurry? Did Nangong Lie take the lead?" Lin Yu leaned over. "What are you looking at? You've been browsing your iPad since you got in the car."
All I saw on the iPad were photos of celebrities signed by Jince Entertainment and some popular artists.
"Why are you looking at so many photos of beautiful women and handsome men?" Lin Yu was surprised.
Lu Xingjian: "President Tan, are you like those stinky men? After getting rich, you become bad and want to..."
Tan Mo paused, "Assistant Lu, you can doubt my taste and my willingness to eat shit, but don't doubt my stinginess with money or my willingness to spend it on eating shit. Keeping a celebrity is expensive, okay?"
If she hadn't been going to Jince Entertainment to listen to gossip and get to know these celebrities beforehand, she wouldn't have bothered to watch. Products on the plastic surgery assembly line are beautiful, but they're all so identical she can't tell them apart.
"Please apologize for my stinginess."
Lu Xingjian said sincerely, "I'm sorry."
Having said that, Tan Mo nodded at Lu Xingjian and Lin Yu, "You two will go talk to Mr. Yang from Jince Entertainment later. I won't go."
She hated official negotiations the most. One more sentence would drive her crazy. She would rather listen to some gossip. Celebrity gossip was the most interesting.
"Then what are you going to do?" Lin Yu asked.
"Keep it a secret." Tan Mo helped Lin Yu tidy up her hair. "Don't ask me what I'm going to do. The most important thing is what you are going to do. From now on, you are me, the other half of the president of Longsheng Group."
For this reason, at noon, Tan Mo specially called out the Nangong family's official stylist to help Lin Yu dress up.
As the heroine of an old romance novel, Lin Yu was naturally beautiful. With her exquisite makeup and styling, and the expensive suit, she was even more dazzling than the star that Tan Mo had just seen.
Lu Xingjian: "I've checked. Hu Jiayu has a concert in two weeks and has been practicing in the company's dance studio for the past few days. So we'll meet him at Jince Entertainment later."
Lin Yu was extremely nervous. When Hu Jiayu first entered the entertainment industry, he'd promised her that he'd keep his distance from women in the industry and avoid any scandals. But this time, without warning her, a gossip magazine had snapped photos of him and his junior, leading to a long period of silence between them.
Even the next time I heard news about Hu Jiayu, it was from Lu Xingjian.
It's such an irony.
This meeting is like an intentional reunion after a broken mirror. She must put on her battle armor and let Hu Jiayu see clearly that even in the cold war, without his care, she, Lin Yu, can still live a prosperous life!
There was a heroic fire in Lin Yu's eyes.
"We're here." Lu Xingjian reminded.
