Chapter 21: Riding on the Heat
Shen Wenqian asked a few more questions, and Ruan Qi responded calmly.
Shen Wenqian gradually calmed down and felt that his brain might have been eaten by a dog.
Ruan Qi doesn't play games, so how could she possibly know myq?
Shen Wenqian: "So, you came to the Dynasty Club for...?"
"Meeting a friend." Ruan Qi replied with a smile.
Shen Wenqian had no interest in prying into other people's privacy. He nodded, took the car keys and walked towards the elevator.
"Let's go out from the VIP?" he said as he walked.
Unexpectedly, Ruan Qi behind him suddenly said -
"No. Go through the main door."
Shen Wenqian tripped over his left foot and almost fell flat on his face.
He turned his head to look at Ruan Qi, the fear on his face was enough to scare a three-year-old child to tears.
"Sister," he said, "Do you know how many paparazzi there are outside the Dynasty Club?"
The Dynasty Club is the top club in the imperial capital. Because of its excellent privacy, businessmen, politicians, and celebrities all like to come here to gather or discuss business.
Since the paparazzi couldn't get into the club, they simply squatted outside, hoping to catch some gossip when the celebrities entered or left the club.
Although Shen Wenqian wasn't as famous as those celebrities, he was a top agent and had recently been in trouble for harassing a female artist. If he walked out of the club right now, ten thousand cameras would be thrust into his face.
Shen Wenqian patiently analyzed to Ruan Qi the impracticality of going through the main gate.
Ruan Qi listened with a smile, then nodded softly.
"I understand everything you said."
Shen Wenqian breathed a sigh of relief.
Ruan Qi: "But I still want to go through the main gate."
Shen Wenqian couldn't catch his breath and his vision went dark.
He pointed at Ruan Qi tremblingly: "You..."
"In your entertainment industry, there's a term called 'riding on the popularity', right?" Ruan Qi suddenly asked.
Shen Wenqian was confused by the sudden change in the topic.
He took a long time to calm down, and gradually understood, "You want to... take advantage of my popularity?!"
Ruan Qi smiled and nodded.
Shen Wenqian's mouth twitched violently and he almost fell to his knees.
"Miss Ruan, Sister Ruan, Ancestor Ruan, do you know what I look like now?" He pointed at the shiny black metal lampshade on the corridor wall. "My reputation right now is as dark as this lampshade. If you try to ride on my popularity, I guarantee that Yao Xue's fans will throw a ton of mud at you when you leave tomorrow."
Yao Xue is the female artist who released the video and cried about Shen Wenqian harassing her.
Ruan Qi glanced at the shiny black metal lampshade, and her peach blossom eyes curved.
"Even though he's dark, he's still famous, isn't he?"
Shen Wenqian was speechless after her question.
With his current popularity, if Ruan Qi walked out of the club door with him, she would definitely become famous.
However, as an agent, he does not want his artists to appear in front of the public in this way.
"Ms. Ruan, although Black Red is still considered Red, this road is difficult to walk. You..."
"I didn't plan to go the black-red route."
Shen Wenqian: "...then you still?"
"I certainly have my reasons." Ruan Qi lowered her head, adjusted the hem of her skirt, and then gave him a sweet smile.
"Let's go, Mr. Shen."
She turned sideways and made a 'please' gesture to Shen Wenqian -
"Believe in you, Sister Ruan, and you will have eternal life."
——*——*——
As Shen Wenqian expected, when he and Ruan Qi, who was wearing a mask, walked out of the gate of the Dynasty Club, several shutter sounds were heard not far away.
"I'll go get the car. You..." Shen Wenqian looked around weakly and said to Ruan Qi, "Just stand here. Don't answer anyone who asks you any questions. I'll be right back."
Ruan Qi nodded obediently.
Shen Wenqian strode away.
As soon as he left, a man with a camera on his back suddenly appeared from somewhere.
