Chapter 25

The more Pei Zhengming thought about it, the more he felt that his future was bleak, as if he was about to become the next Wei Nan.

"Sit down," Shen Mingli said to him, his voice a little colder, "You just came back from outside, you haven't eaten yet, right?"

"No, no, I don't dare, Mr. Shen, I'm not hungry yet."

Pei Zhengming's face turned pale, and the agent next to him also began to echo his words: "Yes, Xiao Pei just ate on the road."

Shen Mingli leaned lazily in his chair and stared at them, with no intention of letting them leave.

"Sit down." His voice was unquestionable.

The other party knew that he could not escape.

"Well, since it's Mr. Shen's kind invitation, I won't be polite."

Pei Zhengming sat there with his tongue tied. It was only until his agent stood behind him that he realized he had said the wrong thing.

She had just helped Pei Zhengming to lie. She heard that the Shen family hated people who were not honest the most, and no lie could escape Shen Mingli.

[Why did Pei Zhengming suddenly become stuttering?]

[How funny! How can a company's artist not look as good as the CEO?]

Pei Zhengming's expression changed rapidly. He turned his head and looked around, as if looking for the source of the sound.

"Did you hear anything..." Before Pei Zhengming could finish, he was interrupted by Shen Mingli:

"Do you have an endorsement recently?"

"Ah? Oh, yes, no, no, and no," Pei Zhengming replied hurriedly, "We were ready to negotiate at first, but then the brand found another person."

"Another person?"

Shen Mingli's gaze unconsciously fell on Mo Keyu.

[It’s over, it’s over, the other party is going to find out.]

[If Pei Zhengming were to confuse right and wrong and say that I stole the endorsement, this would be a problem.]

[Is my career going to die before it even begins? Am I destined to go home and sell hot sauce now? No!]

"He is an artist from Baozi Entertainment. The brand seems to be interested in Huang Jinlang, an artist under Baozi Entertainment."

Pei Zhengming answered truthfully.

"Mr. Shen, we didn't know at first that your company was the first to talk to the brand. We agreed directly after receiving the brand's message,"

Mo Keyu hurriedly explained, putting the chicken leg he had just taken a bite of aside.

"If I knew it was your company, I would never agree to it."

Shen Mingli was not angry. He was silent for a while and poured her another glass of coconut juice:

"If the brand chooses you, you are right. Even if it is decided with Jiashen Entertainment, the cooperation is not established without a signed contract."

He was just... speaking for himself?

Mo Keyu was a little bit unbelieving. Pei Zhengming was an artist under his company after all, and she was also a competitor after all.

"We haven't signed the contract yet, but we pretty much agreed at the time..."

Pei Zhengming didn't understand what Mr. Shen meant yet and wanted to fight. After all, his endorsement was not obtained through an ordinary channel and he had already discussed it with the brand's internal staff.

That person is considered a veteran of the brand, and he will definitely fulfill his promise.

"Whoever the brand is looking for is the one, and there is no need to argue about this matter anymore." Shen Mingli said, giving Pei Zhengming a cold look.

After hearing this, Pei Zhengming realized that there was no hope for this endorsement.

Besides, there has been no news from Sister Wang who had promised him for several days, and no one knows what happened inside her company.

Mo Keyu was a little surprised by the flattery. Shen Mingli was so nice? But didn't others say behind his back that he was a heartless person?

"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Shen." Mo Keyu said in a voice as soft as a mosquito.

In the past, he spoke casually to Shen Mingli out of complete ignorance and fearlessness. Now that he knew that the other party had done so many things, people around him saw him as their grandson, and Mo Keyu was also a little affected.

Shen Mingli filled her glass with coconut juice and said in a gentle voice, "Ms. Mo, the Shen family and the Mo family are partners. There is no need to be so polite."

"Thank you, Mr. Shen." Mo Keyu said, took her favorite coconut juice, and looked at Pei Zhengming with pity.

[There is a reason why I didn’t discuss this with the brand. There was a major reshuffle within the brand, and the power of the veteran Wang Jie is no longer there.]

[System, from what you said, Pei Zhengming has quite a strong taste.]

[He thought he had found true love, but in fact he was being played around by someone.]

Pei Zhengming's eyes widened. What did he just hear? Sister Wang?

He was the only one who had ever called her Sister Wang, and the fact that he was dating Sister Wang was kept a secret, and he was the only one who knew about it.

How does the voice in the head know?

[But this sister Wang has taken such good care of herself, she looks like a 30-year-old at 60, how did she do it?]

[Oh~ She spends tens of millions of dollars on beauty every year. She insists on exercising and keeping fit every day. She is quite determined.]

[But if you have a family, it is against morality and ethics to still look for someone outside. This is the most basic bottom line issue.]

[Both parties cheated? Oh, that's fine.]

Pei Zhengming sat there with his mouth open, as if he had heard some incredible information.

That voice said his Xiao Mei has a man? !

No way! No way! Xiaomei is so cute and treats him so well, how could she still live with another man? !

Besides, Xiaomei told him that she was divorced.

Shen Mingli also looked at Pei Zhengming. It was the first time he looked at someone with such strange eyes.

"Xiao Pei?" The agent next to him called him in a low voice. Seeing Pei Zhengming with his mouth open and his face pale, it was really scary.

However, no matter how he shouted, Pei Zhengming still sat there.

"Xiao Pei? Xiao Pei." The agent pinched his shoulder. Pei Zhengming looked at the agent with confused eyes, like a fool.

This scared the agent to death. It was fine just now, how come it suddenly...

This was the first time Shen Mingli had heard of such a thing. Jiashen Entertainment was just one of the Shen family's businesses, and the artists were all managed by the entertainment company's top management.

"If your artist looks unwell or unwell, send him home." Shen Mingli knocked on the table to remind them.

Mr. Shen said so, and the agent pulled Pei Zhengming up.

He seemed to have lost his soul and let the agent pull him, almost bumping into the door.

[However, hearing you put it that way, it can be considered retribution.]

[Who made him use his good face to deceive other people's feelings?]

[The girl from the countryside was already inferior to others, and she made a bet with her brother and cheated him. In the end, he cheated not only her heart but also her body, leaving a shadow on her life.]

[Alas, all I can say is that fate is retribution.]

While chatting with the system, she finally ate her fill. The other person was Shen Mingli, and she hardly dared to look up at him while eating.

After eating, I found that the eldest son of the Shen family seemed to be processing the messages on his mobile phone.

Mo Keyu just sat aside and waited quietly.

[I’m full, but Shen Mingli seems to be replying to messages. I wonder if I’m disturbing him by talking like this.]

After a short while, Shen Mingli put down his phone.

Mo Keyu saw the opportunity and said, "Boss Shen, I'm full."

After saying that, he met the other person's seductive eyes and immediately got goosebumps all over his body.

How can someone have such beautiful eyes?

However, the other party did not say anything and just remained silent, as if hesitating about something.

[Hey, why is Mr. Shen looking at me like this? Is there rice grains on my face?]

Mo Keyu silently stretched out his right hand and wiped his face with his hand as if nothing had happened.

[No, why?]

Shen Mingli lowered his eyes, perhaps sensing the embarrassment, and looked away.

"Ms. Mo, since the Mo Group has cooperation with the Shen family, why not add a contact method?"

He said, his voice soft, as if it was a decision made after careful consideration.

"Ah? Ah, okay."

Mo Keyu would naturally not refuse the request made by Young Master Shen, but now she was just a small figure compared to him, and the other party's suggestion of adding contact information was a bit beyond her expectation.

Mo Keyu took out his mobile phone and awkwardly opened the QR code of his personal business card.

After successfully adding the chat software, I also kept the phone number.

Mo Keyu really felt like she was dreaming.

[Master Shen is such an easy-going person. I don’t know why some people call him Prince Yan behind his back.]

Shen Mingli's hand paused.

Mo Keyu didn't notice and said to him with a smile: "Mr. Shen, thank you so much for today. You can come to me if you need anything in the future."

Shen Mingli hummed lightly.

"Then I'll go."

The other party only uttered two words: "Goodbye."

[I thought I was doomed if I met someone from the Shen family, but I didn’t expect them to be so nice.]

[She noticed that I was hungry and still treated me to a meal. There are still many good people in the world. Speaking of this, I really envy Zhang Xiaoli.]

[The people around me are cultured, talented, and good-looking, and I see the beautiful side of the world.]

[Unlike me, who eats melons every day and witnesses the diversity of species.]

…

As Mo Keyu left, the muttering became quieter and quieter.

Shen Mingli leaned back in his chair, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his originally bottomless eyes now contained a hint of smile.

There were several staff members standing in the private room. One of them was standing opposite Master Shen and happened to catch this scene. He widened his eyes in disbelief and thought he had seen it wrong.

Having worked in the company for so long, I occasionally see the eldest son of the Shen family, and he has been coming to inspect frequently recently.

There were always many people around him every time. He never smiled like this to others, and even if he did, it was a professional fake smile.

——

The story of Pei Zhengming and Wang Meimei can be traced back to when he just debuted.

At that time, Sister Wang was only 55 years old. Now, she has been in the industry for five years, and in a few days, Sister Wang will be 60 years old.

At that time, Sister Wang exuded the aura of a mature woman, and Pei Zhengming was easily attracted to her.

Sister Wang is not only rich, but also charming. Over the past five years, Pei Zhengming has been secretly meeting with Sister Wang. He has always been well taken care of by Sister Wang, and some of the resources were given to him by Sister Wang through her connections.

Because Sister Wang always fulfills her promise, he firmly believes that this time the endorsement will be his.

In his mind, the only person he could trust was Sister Wang.

After Pei Zhengming returned home, he called Sister Wang frantically.

Sister Wang once told him that if she didn’t answer the phone, it basically meant something was wrong and he should not call again. So he was always very cautious when contacting Sister Wang, fearing that she would be unhappy.

But today, he called like crazy and kept calling until there was no answer.

He wanted to know why Meimei didn't want him anymore!
