In the deathly silence, Lu Ming picked up the microphone and said to the audience, "It is an honor to attend the Pach brand dinner as a representative of the Lu family."
On stage, Lu Ming appeared to be a refined and elegant young nobleman.
In such situations, the audience should applaud after the person on stage finishes speaking.
But the current situation was too strange. Although Lu Ming's words were watertight, his provocative gaze was always fixed on Chen Shi's direction.
His undisguised gaze, coupled with the past grievances between the two, made it clear to anyone that he was harboring malicious intentions.
Shen Shi calmly accepted Lu Ming's unfriendly gaze, a faint smile playing on his lips.
He's a poor kid from a small town, yet he's managed to thrive in the cutthroat world of entertainment, having seen it all.
Shen Shi raised his glass and took a sip of wine, his posture elegant and his demeanor composed, showing no sign of taking his provocation seriously.
There are at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, rich second-generation like Lu Ming who rely on his father to do evil.
No matter what Lu Ming wants to do, the strategy of remaining unchanged in the face of all changes is to remain steadfast in the face of adversity.
Shen Shi's calm gaze made Lu Ming so angry that he saw stars.
Why is he so indifferent? How dare he!
Enraged, Lu Ming played his trump card: "My connection with Pach goes back a long time. Besides being a representative of the Lu family, I am also a brand ambassador."
After laying the groundwork with those words, Lu Ming made an inviting gesture towards Chen Shi's direction.
"Since we are both spokespeople, I wonder if Mr. Shen would be willing to come up and say a few words?"
Lu Ming's action left everyone present speechless. How could there be such an occasion without prior notice?
Even the person in charge of pach couldn't help but panic.
After Lu Ming finished speaking, everyone's eyes were focused on Shen Shi.
Shen Shi was already used to the stares of the crowd. He calmly straightened his sleeves, his face showing no sign of anything unusual, as if all the turmoil had nothing to do with him.
Everyone was confused about his thoughts and paced anxiously in circles.
The stage was already set up, and he had already started playing the gongs and drums. Whether Chen Shi wanted to cooperate or not was no longer up to him.
"What? Mr. Shen, you're unwilling?"
Lu Ming was determined to make Shen Shi lose his composure in front of so many celebrities, so his attitude was very tough.
The head of the Pach brand also chimed in with a smile, "It's just a special segment of the dinner, and we hope Mr. Shen will do us the honor."
This is the entertainment industry, this is how human relationships work.
Just a dozen minutes ago, the agent was having a pleasant conversation with Shen Shi, but as soon as he met the wealthy and powerful Lu Ming, his expression changed completely.
However, it's understandable; being an agent is just a title, and in reality, it's just working for someone else.
With the Lu family becoming the major shareholder of Pach and Lu Ming representing the Lu family, it's understandable that the agents would side with him.
Chen Shi gracefully rose to her feet, met everyone's gaze, and leisurely walked onto the stage.
Until he stopped in front of the microphone, the distance between him and Lu Ming was only about half a step.
Lu Ming, in a triumphant air, raised his eyebrows at him, then curled his lips into a contemptuous smile.
“I am honored to be the spokesperson for pach, and I am grateful to the brand for the invitation. I will walk hand in hand with pach on this journey with a sincere heart.”
Shen Shi spoke eloquently and formally into the microphone, delivering the official set of words.
Then, under Lu Ming's murderous gaze, he whispered to him, "Useless!"
The words were spoken very softly, and the agents on the stage did not hear a sound.
But it truly landed in Lu Ming's ears.
Lu Ming was stunned and stood there, he could hardly believe his ears.
How dare Shen Shi insult him! It was one thing before, but now that he's President Lu, he's still so audacious!
Enraged, Lu Ming didn't think twice and threw a punch at Shen Shi's handsome face.
Caught off guard, Shen was knocked back by the punch and staggered. After realizing what had happened, he immediately kicked Lu Ming.
The two sides started fighting, and onlookers either tried to break up the fight or just watched the spectacle.
It was complete chaos.
No one noticed the hidden camera in the corner except when Chen Shi was asleep.
Everyone present was putting on airs, each considering themselves a respectable person.
Even if there is a blood feud involving the murder of one's father, it is still stabbing someone in the back.
When they meet, they act as if nothing is wrong and keep chatting without interruption.
No one expected Lu Ming to be so direct.
Xiao Ming exerted a great deal of effort to barely control Shen Shi, fearing that staying any longer would cause more trouble, so he quickly took him out of the venue.
No one expected things to turn out this way.
The driver was driving in the front seat, while Xiao Ming and Shen Shi were sitting in the back, applying ice packs to his face to reduce the swelling.
"What a mess! It's all my fault for not being more careful. If only I had investigated further..."
Xiao Ming usually cleans up Chen Shi's messes, but now that he's messed him up, he feels incredibly guilty.
If the roles were reversed, and Shen Shi became Xiao Ming, he would probably be more than happy to see himself suffer.
Although Xiao Ming isn't particularly talented and can't secure good resources, he's a decent person.
Shen Shi patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Brother Xiao, don't blame yourself. This really isn't your fault. They did it on purpose, with bad intentions. It's not that easy to be discovered."
"That's true, but you've suffered so much injustice..."
Seeing the injuries on Shen Shi's face, Xiao Ming, a grown man, choked up and couldn't speak.
Since becoming a celebrity, I've had people do everything for me, even carrying things for me. This is the first time I've been injured, and it happened in front of everyone.
Chen Shi, who was very concerned about saving face, naturally couldn't swallow this insult.
So, with a sly tone, he beckoned to Xiao Ming, "Brother Xiao, I have a plan..."
As one of the people who knows Shen Shi best, Xiao Ming could tell from his expression that things were not simple.
He obediently leaned his head in.
"Let me tell you, when I went on stage I saw..."
After muttering to himself for a while, Xiao Ming excitedly slapped his thigh hard after he finished speaking.
"Good lad! I didn't expect you to have such a brain!" Xiao Ming rubbed his hands together excitedly.
Shen Shi couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. What kind of talk was that! She didn't want to hear it!
“I’ve always been very smart!” he emphasized loudly.
Xiao Ming was in a state of extreme excitement and didn't pay attention to what he was saying.
"To dare to strike in public is outrageous! I don't care whose son he is, I'll contact reporters immediately and expose him!"
Xiao Ming spoke indignantly, then took out his phone to make a call.
Seeing this, Shen Shi quickly pressed down on him, and Xiao Ming looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"What's wrong? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, what's there to hesitate about!" Thinking that Shen Shi was trying to stop him, Xiao Ming said excitedly.
