4 Chapter 4

◎Telling a bedtime story. ◎

It was a nice birthday party, but it ended up in chaos.

Shen Mu left after beating the man, leaving the four members of the Shen family busy in all kinds of chaos. Shen Xi covered his face and cried silently, Shen Yufeng cursed Shen Mu, and Shen's father and mother were busy looking for medicine everywhere...

Shen Mu didn't care about the consequences he caused. After walking out of the Shen family's old house, he went straight to a black Porsche.

The driver had been waiting for him here for a long time. When he saw him come out, he quickly got out of the car and opened the back door for him, and said respectfully; "Mr. Shen, are you going home now?"

Shen Mu nodded in a good mood: "Yes, go home."

His trip tonight was not in vain.

However, Shen's father originally planned to announce the share distribution on his birthday, so it seems that he has to choose another time.

Shen Mu will still participate then, and he will still say that he will get the things that belonged to the original owner, even if he donates them, it is better than giving them all to Shen Xi.

What Shen Mu didn't expect was that when he returned home at night, Fu Nonuo was waiting for him.

Today, Fu Nonuo was wearing a gray bear suit and a hat, revealing only a chubby, white and tender little face.

Fu Nonuo was sitting on the sofa in the living room at this time, and he was a little sleepy, with his little head nodding.

The housekeeper came over and explained dutifully: "Mr. Shen, the young master is waiting for you."

Shen Mu walked over with some surprise.

As soon as he walked in, Fu Nonuo woke up. He rubbed his sleepy eyes with his little hands, and then raised his little head and looked at Shen Mu eagerly.

Shen Mu lowered his voice and asked him, "Why haven't you slept yet?"

Fu Nonuo woke up a little, then held up a storybook and looked at Shen Mu expectantly: "You said you would tell me a bedtime story every night."

After saying that, he felt a little uneasy again, because he was worried that Shen Mu was just saying it casually at the time.

What if his expectations were too high?

Shen Mu didn't expect Fu Nonuo to insist on not sleeping so late just to wait for him to tell a story, and his heart was a little shocked for a moment.

He stretched out his hand to the child: "Let's go back to the bedroom, I'll tell you a story."

"Okay!" Fu Nonuo's mood turned from gloomy to sunny, and he happily handed his little hand to Shen Mu, and then slid down from the sofa.

This was the first time Shen Mu held a child's hand. It was so small and soft that he didn't dare to use too much strength.

Shen Mu came back to his senses and led Fu Nonuo upstairs.

The two walked upstairs, chatting.

"Little Dad, where did you go tonight?"

"I went to a scary place."

"Did you go to fight monsters?"

"I guess."

"Little Dad is awesome."

"Thank you."

The father and son talked all the way until they disappeared around the corner of the stairs.

The scene of them being together was unexpectedly warm.

The housekeeper has been working in this family for a long time, and this is the first time he has seen such a warm scene.

He is a man with full work skills and everything is in place. On the one hand, he wants to inform Mr. Fu about Mr. Shen's recent changes, and on the other hand, he wants to ask someone to buy more storybooks tomorrow. After all, Mr. Shen tells the young master a bedtime story every night.

Upstairs bedroom.

Shen Mu leaned against the head of the bed and opened the storybook; "Today we are going to tell the story of the mermaid..."

His voice was very soft and pleasant, and he told the story in a very fascinating way.

Fu Nonuo lay on the bed, holding his chin with both hands, listening to the story very seriously. When he got excited, his two legs behind him would swing happily a few times, just like a lively and cute little bear.

But it was almost eleven o'clock, and Fu Nonuo gradually felt sleepy as he listened.

He first blinked his eyes sleepily, and then the hand that supported his chin slowly lost strength, and finally "popped" and fell on the bed like a soft and sticky little glutinous rice dumpling.

Shen Mu looked over and saw Fu Nonuo lying on the pillow, sleeping soundly, with even the corners of his mouth curled up.

Seeing this, he put down the storybook, then pulled the quilt over and carefully covered Fu Nonuo with it.

After doing all this, he went to the bathroom to wash up, then returned to bed and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, Shen Mu was awakened by the ringing of his cell phone.

It was just past seven o'clock, and he had not slept enough. With his eyes half open and half closed, he subconsciously reached for the phone and hung up. Who knew that the other party called again right after, as if he would keep calling if he didn't answer.

Shen Mu had just gotten up and still had a little hypoglycemia, and his overall condition was not very good.

He answered the phone listlessly, his voice weak; "Hello?"

"Shen Mu, you dare to hang up on me?!"

A very sharp female voice came from the other end of the phone.

The noise hurt Shen Mu's eardrums.

He frowned, took down the phone, reached out and pressed his ear, and looked at the phone interface to see who was calling.

On the screen, the caller was carefully marked -

the agent, Sister Liu.

No wonder.

It turned out to be the original agent, otherwise someone else would not be so uncultured, disturbing people's dreams and being arrogant.

If it was this elder sister, it would not be surprising.

The original agent was a strong woman in her thirties, and everyone respectfully called her Sister Liu.

Sister Liu had a stern personality and was serious. She would either beat or scold the artists under her, and she never showed mercy.

The most important thing is that she exploited her artists severely, forcing every artist to work like a beast of burden to earn more profits for her.

Even an 18th-tier unknown like the original body was not let off easily, and was forced to accept a lot of messy notices.

At this moment, Sister Liu asked on the other end of the phone; "Shen Mu? Shen Mu?? Speak!!"

Shen Mu recalled the plot for a while before putting the phone to his ear again and answered weakly: "What's up?"

Sister Liu was obviously confused by his lazy question for a moment. After a moment, she was furious: "Can't I find you if there's nothing? When do I need to explain my behavior to you?!"

Shen Mu: "..."

He was really uncomfortable now. He didn't know if it was hypoglycemia or some other reason. He felt a little dizzy, so he said directly; "I'll hang up if there's nothing else."

After that, he hung up the phone and muted the phone.

After doing all this, Shen Mu put down his phone and went back to sleep.

When it was past eight o'clock, Shen Mu finally got enough sleep.

The uncomfortable feeling was much less now.

He got up slowly and went to the bathroom to wash up.

When the water splashed on his face, he remembered that he had received a call in the morning.

However, Shen Mu still washed his face and brushed his teeth leisurely, and then returned to the bedroom and picked up the mobile phone. When he

opened it, he was shocked. Sister Liu actually called him more than ten times in a row.

Finally, she found that he really didn't answer

the phone, and bombarded him with several text messages in turn. [Shen Mu, you are so capable, you dare to hang up on me!!!]

[Come to the company this morning, and we will settle the accounts then!!!]

[……]

Shen Mu glanced at these text messages, then put away his mobile phone without any care, and went downstairs to have breakfast. As

soon as Shen Mu arrived at the restaurant, the servants immediately brought in various breakfasts and placed them neatly one by one.

Today's breakfast is still very rich.

Crab roe soup buns, coconut cakes, fried dough sticks, seafood porridge...

Shen Mu took a sip of seafood porridge slowly, then took a soup bun and began to taste it.

The soup bun was full of soup. After a sip of the soup, the rich crab roe taste filled the mouth, leaving an endless aftertaste.

The scene of him eating always looks particularly pleasing to the eye, as if it came from a well-educated family.

At this time, the morning sun poured in through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the restaurant and projected onto Shen Mu.

He was wearing a white casual suit today. The suit was slim and draped, making his figure even more straight and beautiful.

He just bathed in the golden sunlight, savoring his breakfast carefully, as if he was a prince from a noble family.

Just when Shen Mu finished eating, the butler walked in, stood beside Shen Mu, and then asked with great professionalism: "Mr. Shen, what are your plans for today? If you want to go out for fun, I can plan the itinerary."

Shen Mu drank porridge with a spoon while looking at the butler casually.

He found that their butler was very similar to the extremely professional butlers in animations or movies and TV dramas, wearing a tuxedo, always holding a workbook in his hand, and doing things in a well-trained and methodical manner, which made people feel appropriate everywhere.

The most important thing is that it is hard to tell how old he is, probably in his twenties? Still in his thirties?

What a mysterious butler. Are

all the butlers of wealthy families of this level?

Shen Mu glanced at the butler, then retracted his gaze and asked, "How do you plan the itinerary specifically?"

The butler dutifully gave an example: "For example, if you want to go on vacation to a foreign island, I will contact the local staff in advance to help you prepare all the items you need for the vacation. If necessary, I can also arrange to buy the island directly. At the same time, I will also arrange transportation along the way to ensure that you have a smooth journey... and you don't have to worry about anything, just enjoy the journey with ease."

Shen Mu was a little confused.

So this is the way rich people travel?

It seems that his imagination was not rich enough before.

The housekeeper continued to ask; "So, Mr. Shen, do you have any plans for travel now?"

Shen Mu paused for a few seconds before coming back to his senses: "Not yet, if I do, I will tell you."

Housekeeper; "Okay, Mr. Shen, what are your plans for today?"

Shen Mu said truthfully; "My agent notified me to go to the company."

In any case, the original body's contract with that company has not expired yet, so he naturally has to continue to fulfill it.

Who knew that the housekeeper said, "Mr. Shen, if you don't want to continue working in the entertainment industry, we can terminate the contract."

Shen Mu said, "Termination requires a penalty."

The housekeeper said respectfully, "We will help you arrange the termination and pay the penalty."

It was just a trivial penalty, and the Fu family would not take it seriously.

At that time, Mr. Fu said before he left that he should not treat Mr. Shen badly in terms of material things, and the housekeeper remembered it in his heart.

Shen Mu: "..."

Once again, he was shocked by the way rich people do things.

But if you think about it carefully, isn't he rich now?

After all, his cheap husband gives him 50 million pocket money every year.

Thinking of this, Shen Mu could hardly hide the smile on his face, but he still said to the housekeeper: "It's okay, I'll go to the company, there's no need to terminate the contract for the time being."

According to his agent's temperament, when signing the contract with the original owner, he must have formulated a series of unequal clauses. If the contract is really terminated, the penalty must be an astronomical figure.

Regardless of whether he has become rich now, there is no reason to give away such a large sum of money for nothing.

So at around ten o'clock in the morning, Shen Mu came to the company leisurely.

Speaking of which, their company is also well-known in the circle, and there are several first-line stars under its umbrella.

However, the original owner was an inconspicuous existence in the company.

Therefore, Shen Mu walked all the way into the company and came to the agent's office without attracting any attention in the middle.

In the office.

As soon as Shen Mugang walked in, he saw the agent Sister Liu.

Sister Liu was wearing a dark blue dress. She was tall and thin, with high cheekbones. She had a stern personality, and looked like a female demon.

Shen Mu thought that Sister Liu would scold him for hanging up the phone that morning.

But Sister Liu didn't get angry. Instead, she grabbed a pile of contracts on the desk and threw them over. She said simply, "Signed."

What?

Shen Mu walked over and lazily picked up a few contracts and flipped through them.

As expected, Sister Liu helped him to take on some messy notices, such as recording some variety shows without security guarantees, filming in some black-hearted crews, or endorsing some products with problems... In short, as long as he can make money, he doesn't care about his life or death.

Shen Mu flipped through it casually, threw the contract back, and calmly announced: "I won't go to any of these."

Sister Liu was busy chatting with an investor on WeChat. Hearing this, she looked at Shen Mu with a cold expression: "Shen Mu, if you don't drink a toast, you will drink a penalty wine, right?" Shen

Mu was too lazy to stand, and he picked a chair and sat down, then lazily curled his legs: "Sister Liu, you were unkind first, so don't blame me for being unjust."

Sister Liu didn't say anything for a few seconds.

She was confused by Shen Mu's aura. In the past, Shen Mu was cowardly and easy to control. He always lowered his head and dared not look at her directly. However, Shen Mu now stared at her calmly and calmly, and his aura was particularly strong.

When did Shen Mu become so dazzling?

Sister Liu put down the phone that was chatting with someone and stared at Shen Mu: "Shen Mu, have you grown wings?"

Shen Mu smiled indifferently: "No, I am just defending my legal rights."

With this smile, Shen Mu's face became even more moving, and his eyebrows and eyes seemed to be dotted with light.

Sister Liu signed Shen Mu because of this face, but unfortunately after signing him, he turned out to be a timid and shrinking loser, which wasted that face. However, now, that face has regained its brilliance.

No matter how bad-tempered Sister Liu is, she has been in the industry for more than ten years and is a veritable veteran.

Her mind turned quickly for several times, and she had already figured out a lot of things in a short time.

After a while, Sister Liu even stood up herself and went to the water dispenser to pour a glass of water for Shen Mu.

She came to Shen Mu with the water, and her usually serious face actually had a smile on it: "Xiao Shen, you must have worked hard all the way here, come, drink some water."

Shen Mu: "..."

Changed his expression so quickly?

It's a waste of talent for this person to be an agent, it's better for him to be an actor directly.

Shen Mu didn't take the water.

Sister Liu didn't care. She turned around and put the cup aside, then said, "It's okay if you don't want to accept these notices. Liu will find new ones for you. Believe me, Sister Liu, I will tailor a plan for you to help you become famous quickly."

She had exploited Shen Mu before because she felt that he had no development prospects anyway, so it was better to completely squeeze out the remaining value and then throw it aside.

However, today's Shen Mu made her eyes light up, and she felt that she had a chance again.

Whether to exploit an 18th-tier unknown or to make a top star famous, there was no need to calculate the account.

Sister Liu has been in the circle for so many years. Apart from anything else, she has a sharp eye. She dared to guarantee that if Shen Mu went into the entertainment circle in today's state, he would be famous in the shortest time.

Unfortunately, before Sister Liu could realize this beautiful dream, Shen Mu interrupted her: "Sister Liu, don't worry about it. I'm lazy and don't want to work hard for anything. I came here today to tell you that except for the jobs that have been signed before, you should not help me take new jobs."

Shen Mu thought clearly. He was sick all his life and never enjoyed life until the day he died. He is also a sickly person in this life, feeling uncomfortable here and there. Who would go to the entertainment industry to hang out? Isn't it better to just lie down and let it go? Anyway, he now has a rich husband and doesn't have to worry about his life in the second half of his life.

Sister Liu had planned everything well, but Shen Mu suddenly poured cold water on her. Her face, which was smiling, suddenly darkened again: "Shen Mu, do you know what you are saying?"

Shen Mu replied calmly: "I am very sober now."

Sister Liu said with a stern face: "I don't care what you think, suppress them all, you just need to listen to my arrangements."

She would not miss the opportunity to personally bring out a top-tier talent.

Shen Mu said nonchalantly: "If I don't cooperate, can you force me?"

Sister Liu: "You..."

She said angrily: "Shen Mu, do you believe that I will make it impossible for you to survive in this industry?"

She thought this would threaten Shen Mu.

As a result, Shen Mu said nonchalantly, "I couldn't ask for more."

Then he would quit the entertainment industry directly, regardless of any contract or not, and live a completely salted fish life.

Sister Liu was furious. Seeing that the ban could not scare Shen Mu, she turned to threaten: "Shen Mu, aren't you afraid that I will reveal the dirty stuff about you?"

Shen Mu smiled faintly and looked directly at Sister Liu: "What about me? Can't I reveal some of your dirty stuff?"

The original owner's dirty stuff was nothing more than being forced to drink with some investors, and was almost forced to sleep in the process, but the other party did not succeed. Sister Liu's dirty stuff is much more, and even walked on the edge of breaking the law. If

the two really want to expose each other's dirty stuff, it is not certain who will get into trouble.

Sister Liu was so angry that her chest was heaving. She never thought that after just a few days of not seeing each other, Shen Mu would become a completely different person and she couldn't control him at all.

But she couldn't say anything threatening now, she just glared at Shen Mu.

In comparison, Shen Mu's state could be said to be calm and relaxed. He got up from the chair leisurely, straightened his clothes, and then said: "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

When he walked to the door, he slowly added: "By the way, Sister Liu, I wish you a happy life."

Sister Liu: "..."

She almost couldn't breathe.
