However, when Sister Wang's hand touched his forearm, even he, as slow as he was, quickly realized what was happening.
Unexpectedly, the unspoken rules described in gossip news actually happened to him. Chen Shi was so shocked that his hand trembled, and all the wine in his glass spilled out.
"Ouch! How could you be so careless? Let me wipe it for you~"
As Sister Wang spoke, she reached out to grab Chen Shi's hand. Faced with the scheming old witch, Chen Shi, disgusted by his leftover dinner, almost vomited.
"Get out!" He shoved Sister Wang aside and walked out without looking back.
Since everyone present was from the industry, they were all used to it and Shen Shi's departure did not cause much of a stir.
But Chen Liang was in trouble.
He and Sister Wang—no, not just Sister Wang, but Chen Liang and a group of wealthy ladies—had an unspoken agreement.
He acted as a pimp, catching young boys, and the wealthy women paid him accordingly.
The reason Chen Liang chose Shen Shi was not only because of his good looks, but also because he had a two-pronged plan: to get Wang Jie's reward and to gain leverage over Shen Shi.
As for Shen Shi refusing, that's inconceivable.
Chen Liang's entertainment company has always operated on the principle of making those who can become famous into big stars, and those who can't become famous into currying favor with wealthy wives.
It's like having another way out, why are you so pessimistic!
He apologized to Sister Yang while cursing Shen Shi in his heart.
Feeling deeply insulted, Shen Shi stormed into the boss's office in a fit of rage, grabbed a chair, and smashed the furniture inside to pieces.
Because of this, Shen Shi and Chen Liang had a major falling out, and Chen Liang even threatened to sue him.
But as his fame grew, Chen Liang began to fawn over this cash cow, disregarding past grievances.
When Shen Shi was furious, he did consider terminating the contract, but the termination fee was an astronomical sum for him at the time.
Once he was able to pay, Shen Shi had long been used to these kinds of things, and since the contract was about to expire, he stopped making trouble.
Thinking back on this past event, Shen Shi felt a mix of emotions.
Xiao Ming's hesitation was, in his eyes, a complete waste of time.
He was no longer the same Chen Shi he once was. He wouldn't be surprised if that exploitative boss did something so outrageous.
Life is but 30,000 days; getting angry will only harm your health.
If you have enough inner peace, there is nothing to be angry about.
At that time, Shen Shi felt that he was broad-minded and had a heart that could hold a boat.
But he will soon realize that he is still too young!
"Pach's endorsement deal is up, and President Chen plans to have you take over," Xiao Ming began, then stopped talking.
PACH is a top-tier international brand. In China, they have a ton of "friends/ambassadors," but very few actual spokespeople.
Being able to secure a spokesperson title is a reflection of commercial value.
The person in charge of this brand has a good relationship with Chen Liang. Since Pach entered the Chinese market, Coolfan Culture has been its partner.
Therefore, no matter how the spokesperson for Pach changes, Coolfan's artists will always have a place.
I never expected it would be his turn this time!
"And then?" Shen Shi asked again.
"Then... Lu Ming also signed with Pach, and as brand ambassadors, you two will inevitably have contact."
Xiao Ming made these words extremely difficult.
Thinking of the epic public feud between his artist and Lu Ming, which shocked the entire internet, even Xiao Ming couldn't help but scratch his head awkwardly.
Upon hearing the name Lu Ming, Shen Shi's brows furrowed involuntarily.
"Oh, so it's that bastard! He's still alive?" he said sarcastically.
"No," Xiao Ming replied weakly.
“Brother Xiao, you know I don’t lack endorsements,” Shen Shi reminded him.
While other celebrities worry about their commercial value, Shen Shi lamented, "I have too many endorsements and can't keep up with all the promotional material shoots, what am I going to do?"
It can be called the top Versailles.
"I understand, but this time the brand specifically requested you for the long-term development of the company's employees. You should still reconsider," Xiao Ming advised in a bureaucratic tone.
Every time I hear him speak, I feel that Xiao Ming shouldn't be an agent, but should take the civil service exam.
"It's not impossible for me to take on this endorsement, but I have a condition!" After thinking for a long time, he finally spoke.
"What are the conditions?" Unexpectedly, there was a chance, and Xiao Ming immediately asked.
"Whenever I participate in any Pach event with Lu Ming, my name must be listed before his, otherwise it's out of the question!"
Chen raised his chin and made a smug demand.
"OK."
Unexpectedly, Xiao Ming, unable to suppress a smile, readily agreed to this matter.
After saying those words, Shen Shi also realized how naive he had been.
Unfortunately, there was no other way; if Yi Li didn't start with these subtle details when facing the Celestial Dragon protagonist, it would be difficult for her to gain the upper hand.
Moreover, Lu Ming is indeed annoying.
Lu Ming's public identity is that of a singer and dancer like himself, but behind the scenes, he is the heir of the Lu family.
He entered the entertainment industry anonymously, purely out of love for music, just for fun.
The two were trainees in the same batch, singing together at Cool Sail Culture. Lu Ming was two years older than him and had basic vocal knowledge, so it seems he helped Shen Shi a lot.
The two naturally became buddies.
But as the two debuted, everything changed rapidly.
When he was a trainee, Lu Ming was always the one praised by the teachers. It was considered good if he didn't get scolded. Most of the time, Lu Ming would just watch coldly, but sometimes he would lend a helping hand.
However, his overly compassionate attitude gradually made Shen Shi unhappy.
If you don't want to teach, you don't have to. Always acting like you're doing me a favor—who are you trying to impress?
Shen Shi was unaware of Lu Ming's identity, and of course, he was also unaware that Lu Ming's sense of superiority stemmed from his exceptional ability to be born into a good family.
However, as he practiced more, Chen Shi made rapid progress.
After their debut, Shen Shi attracted a large number of fans effortlessly with her unique voice, while Lu Ming was almost completely ignored.
He was always the one who looked down on others; he never imagined there would come a day when he himself would envy others.
Lu Ming harbored a deep grudge against Shang Chen, even though he hadn't done anything.
Originally, as Shen Shi's status continued to rise, Lu Ming's jealousy of him wasn't a big deal.
But Lu Ming happens to be very good at causing trouble.
I can't understand why Shen Shi attracts fans while he is ignored.
Am I jet-lagged? No! Absolutely not!
Lu Ming, a prodigy, was naturally unwilling to admit his shortcomings. Since he couldn't figure out the key to the problem, he simply took an unconventional approach and began to imitate Shen Shi.
From clothing and style of speaking to the jokes he tells while singing, Lu Ming copied everything that Shen Shi had without exception.
The two debuted at the same time and are similar artists from the same company.
Before he could gain any fans, Lu Ming's imitations already drew criticism from Chen Shi's fans.
"Lu Ming the Imitation Monster"
Lu Ming should come out and apologize.
Negative hashtags such as "Lu Ming, get out of the entertainment industry" instantly surged to the top of the trending searches.
