Seeing Xiao Ming's excited expression, Shen Shi felt a warm current flow through his heart.
He suddenly wanted to reach out and give Xiao Ming a hug, as a way of thanking him for his companionship over the past few years, but reality did not allow it.
Shen forced herself to turn her head, looking at Xiao Ming with icy eyes, and said in a deliberate, succinct tone.
"Brother Xiao, to put it bluntly, this is my personal matter. Lu Ming is targeting me. Once I make this call, it's like making an enemy of the Lu family. In the end, we're just colleagues. Have you really thought this through?"
These words were like a bucket of cold water, completely chilling Xiao Ming's passionate spirit.
"Is that what you think?"
He simply couldn't believe that the person sitting in front of him, talking to him, was Shen Shi! The most loyal and brotherly Shen Shi!
The pain in Xiao Ming's eyes was like a sharp arrow piercing Shen Shi's heart.
Although he spoke coldly, Shen Shi didn't think that way in his heart.
Since he entered the industry, Xiao Ming has been like an older brother to him, helping him find resources and teaching him about interpersonal relationships. The two get along like family.
The Lu family wields considerable power in S City, and Shen Shi never imagined that Xiao Ming would be willing to confront the Lu family's young master for his sake.
When disaster strikes, everyone flees for their lives. But in this crucial moment, there's someone who stands by you without reservation. All these years of hard work have paid off.
But a real man takes responsibility for his actions. Lu Ming was after him, so Shen Shi naturally wouldn't back down.
But she is herself, and Xiao Ming is Xiao Ming. Although they work together, they are very different.
Shen Shi is a top idol with a large number of loyal fans who are willing to fight for him.
Even if we can't beat the Lu family, we can still make a fortune by selling goods via live streaming.
But Xiao Ming is different. To put it bluntly, his agent is just an employee; he doesn't own any shares in Coolfan Culture.
Once he faces the Lu family, he is the easiest target to be sacrificed and thrown out.
Shen Shi was grateful for his loyalty, but he was unwilling to let his loved ones take risks for him.
"Brother Xiao, I understand what you mean. I appreciate your kind intentions."
Shen Shi put his arm around Xiao Ming's shoulder and, to Xiao Ming's puzzled look, took the initiative to turn off his lit phone screen.
Seeing Chen Shi's solemn expression, Lu Ming understood what he meant.
"You little rascal, I almost fell for your trick. Do you treat me like an outsider?"
Even though he understood Shen Shi's good intentions, Xiao Ming's heart was still filled with displeasure.
Of course, I wouldn't fall for his tricks. He's not going to try to provoke me!
Seeing that his little scheme had been discovered, Shen Shi had no choice but to continue pretending.
“Brother Xiao, you know I’m not.” He smiled and patted Xiao Ming on the shoulder.
Xiao Ming naturally knew that Shen Shi was wrong, and he also understood that the other party was thinking of him.
Ke Chen was the first artist he managed, and every step of his path to fame contained his hard work.
Even though Shen Shi can be naughty at times and not as obedient as other artists, Xiao Ming still values him the most.
Because Shen Shi's growth is his growth, on a long journey. Two people who know nothing, supporting and relying on each other.
Now that the sinking has become difficult, he cannot simply stand by and do nothing.
"A mere young master from the Lu family is nothing to worry about. In all the years we've been working hard, we've seen three or four of them every year."
Knowing that he was more responsive to gentle persuasion than force, Lu Ming deliberately pretended to be indifferent in order to get Shen Shi to give in.
“That’s true. In S City, there are so many rich kids that you could kill two of them with a single brick,” Shen Shi continued, following his words.
"That's right! Do you remember when you first debuted, there was a rich second-generation heiress who pursued you like crazy? You haven't forgotten that, have you?"
Lu Ming was reminiscing about the past when he suddenly asked a question.
Shen Shi frowned and pondered for a while, as if he vaguely remembered that there was such a thing.
But there are too many such incidents, and Chen Shi has long forgotten the specific details.
"I don't know, which time is Brother Xiao referring to?" His handsome face was full of doubt.
"If I had known you were like this, I shouldn't have brought it up," Xiao Ming said jealously.
Shen Shi looked at him helplessly and shrugged. There was really nothing she could do; what could she do when she was so charming?
"God is so unfair. I'm thirty and I can't even find a girlfriend, while you have rich and powerful women chasing after you, and you forget them in the blink of an eye."
Xiao Ming listened intently to these words, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up in a smile.
You're always getting intimate with female writers, and you still can't find a girlfriend? Who would believe that!
But upon further reflection, Xiao Ming hadn't mentioned that columnist much. He used to talk about him all the time. Could it be that something really had happened?
Just as I was pondering this, my phone rang abruptly.
Upon hearing the distinctive ringtone, Shen Shi knew it was Mu Lengshan calling.
"Hey~ Missed me?" After answering, Shen Shi deliberately lowered his voice and asked in a puppy-like tone.
Knowing that Mu Lengshan is most susceptible to this kind of thing, I've used my trump card, and she still won't say a few sweet words to me.
Just as Shen Shi was lost in thought, Mu Lengshan's furious voice came through the receiver.
"What the hell are you thinking, Chen Shi, you big idiot!"
Chen was momentarily stunned by the scolding, her mind racing with questions: Who am I? Where am I? What happened to me?
Five minutes ago, Mu Lengshan, who had just finished a meeting, took out her phone to check if there were any messages from Chen Shi.
During this period, the two chatted every day, and Mu Lengshan, who had never liked looking at her phone, gradually developed the habit of always having her phone in her hand.
After unlocking her phone using facial recognition, Weibo pushed a trending topic about Shen Shi to her.
Since the title of the push notification was not fully visible, Mu Lengshan clicked on it immediately without thinking.
I thought it was a cool picture from a pach event, but to my surprise, the title was: "Chen Shi fights with Lu Ming in public".
He got into a fight? In public, and it was filmed? That's impossible!
Completely bewildered, Mu Lengshan immediately clicked on the attached video.
Before she could even finish watching the video, a furious Mu Lengshan smashed her phone to pieces.
At that moment, she had only one thought: If you dare to touch my people, you're finished!
Love is unconditional favoritism. Even if you don't know the reason, as long as Shen Shi is hurt, Mu Lengshan will never be lenient.
Moreover, judging from the video, it was Lu Ming who wanted to make the move, which makes his crime even more serious!
The assistant standing to the side was already terrified out of her wits by Mu Lengshan's act of throwing her phone.
What's going on? Has the project been stolen? Is Mu's Group going bankrupt? Have the shareholders seized power?
For Mr. Mu, who is usually as compliant as a machine and has no personal emotions, to throw his phone in such a fit of rage, his assistant must think that something terrible must have happened.
She stood there with a solemn expression, waiting for Mu Lengshan's instructions.
