Chapter 739 Hao Yue's Side Story (1)
"Sister Wen Yue, I filled your thermos with some eight-treasure tea, remember to drink it."
In the lounge of the cinema, Wen Yue was sitting on a large beanbag chair. When her assistant placed a thermos cup next to her, she looked up from the news page on her phone, smiled gently, and said "thank you" before looking back at the cup.
Seeing that she was engrossed in reading, the assistant didn't disturb her any further and turned to leave.
Wen Yue propped her forehead with one hand and continued flipping through the pages with the other, her interest waning—
"A well-known celebrity surnamed Tang and a young actress did not leave the hotel overnight."
"The actress surnamed Xu stated frankly that Tang Minghao is her ideal type."
"Is their on-screen romance turning real? Tang Minghao and Gao Yingying may be falling into a sweet and passionate relationship!"
The same messages kept popping up, and Wen Yue became increasingly annoyed.
"Have you seen enough? Was it good?"
A male voice suddenly came from behind her, and Wen Yue's hand trembled, almost causing her to drop her phone.
She hurriedly turned off her phone, and when she turned her head, she was met with Tang Minghao's handsome and unruly face, which carried a hint of mockery.
He'd been standing there for who knows how long, but he'd definitely seen every inch of her phone screen.
She let out a slow sigh and chuckled sheepishly, "I was just browsing around because I was bored. My phone was automatically pushing these to me."
Tang Minghao nodded: "Got it. Looks like you've been digging up a lot of gossip about me when you're free."
Wen Yue felt embarrassed, realizing she had been careless and forgotten that current web page recommendations are all about "you might like," meaning the more you search, the more recommendations you get.
She coughed lightly and tried to add, "Well... maybe it's because you're too famous."
Tang Minghao nodded: "You're right. Sigh, fame brings trouble."
After saying that, he pulled up a chair and sat down next to her: "But you should look at these things less often, they're all fake!"
Wen Yue chuckled and replied, "Okay."
Tang Minghao glanced at her sideways: "Why do you seem so perfunctory?"
"No, I know these reports are definitely untrue," Wen Yue said earnestly.
After all, she knew him better than anyone—a typical womanizer, loved by everyone. What's been reported is probably just the tip of the iceberg! Who knows how many other people he's been entangled with behind the scenes.
Tang Minghao instinctively felt that there was something strange about what she said, but seeing her serious expression, he didn't argue further and turned to pick up a magazine and start flipping through it.
Wen Yue was surprised that he actually sat down. Feeling uncomfortable being alone with him, she awkwardly gripped her phone: "Um... don't you have any work commitments today?"
Tang Minghao said as he looked at the screen, "It's rare to have half a day of free time. I have a brand event later. What about you?"
Wen Yue was stunned: "I..."
"Hey, what brings you two together?" Wen Yue was only halfway through her sentence when An Jing walked in, interrupting their conversation.
Wen Yue immediately stood up: "Sister Anjing."
"Sit down, sit down. I told you not to act like you're seeing a big boss every time you see me." Anjing pressed her down and glanced at Tang Minghao next to her: "See? You have to learn his mentality."
Tang Minghao clicked his tongue and put the magazine aside: "President An, are you praising me or insulting me?"
"Of course I'm praising you. I'm praising your amazing mentality. You create eight hundred scandals for me every day, but you can still act like nothing happened and leisurely read magazines here."
Tang Minghao: "...You know those are just rumors! The marketing accounts are always chasing after me like cats chasing mice, they're so annoying, but there's nothing I can do. My mentality has been completely toughened up by experience!"
"Fine, fine, so you're actually feeling wronged? Flies don't land on eggs without cracks, haven't you heard?" Anjing scoffed. "Let me tell you, behave yourself outside. If you ever get pregnant, I'll break your legs!"
Tang Minghao was utterly exasperated: "I don't even have a girlfriend, where am I supposed to find a child? Don't go on and on about something more."
"You'd better not have it."
An Jing rolled her eyes at him, then turned to pull Wen Yue away: "Alright, I don't have time to argue with you. I have something important to discuss with Yue Yue."
She took a document out of her bag and handed it to Wen Yue: "Yueyue, Tomato TV has launched a variety show. I took a look at the plan and thought it was quite interesting. It should be quite popular. I know the producer there well, and I talked to her. I'm planning to let you get some screen time."
“Variety show? What variety show? If you have work but don’t ask me for it, I’m short of money too!” Tang Minghao immediately straightened up, moved closer to Wen Yue, and looked at a proposal with her.
The distance between the two suddenly closed, and Wen Yue's heart tightened. She subconsciously moved a little to the side.
After moving the documents, he felt that his actions were too obvious. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw out of the corner of his eye that Tang Minghao's attention was on the contents of the documents.
Seeing Tang Minghao's expression, An Jing couldn't help but roll her eyes again: "You're getting all excited now. Didn't I ask you before, and you said you didn't want to participate?"
"Oh, that?" Tang Minghao hummed. "I want to participate again now."
An Jing clicked her tongue and said, "Tang Minghao, you didn't have a fight with your brother and haven't made up yet, so you came here to hide away and have some peace and quiet, did you?"
Tang Minghao paused, then said nonchalantly, "Who's arguing with him? I'm so old, what's there to argue about?"
"You're just being stubborn," Anjing said, too lazy to call him out.
Hearing their conversation, Wen Yue cleared her throat and said, "If Senior Brother wants to go, then let him go. I'm not going."
Anjing immediately smacked her on the head: "What are you saying? This spot has already been decided. If it's you, then it's you. How can it be changed so easily!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Minghao turned and grabbed An Jing's arm: "President An, lovely President An, kind President An, gentle President An..."
"Stop!" An Jing said, suppressing the goosebumps all over her body. "Speak your mind!"
"Hehe, what I was thinking was, since you know the producer of this show, why don't you ask them for one more spot? I checked and I don't have any gigs for the next two weeks, so I'm just sitting around doing nothing. Why not make some more money for our company!"
"Thank you so much." Anjing turned to him with a smile: "Do you think our company needs your appearance fee?"
Tang Minghao: "...President An~"
"Alright, stop disgusting me. I can help you get it, but let's make it clear beforehand: if you're going to participate, then participate fully and completely. Don't complain and give up halfway through!" Anjing glanced at him sideways.
"Hey, Sister Anjing, what do you take me for? I'm a professional entertainer!" Tang Minghao patted his chest and guaranteed, "It's just a variety show, I'll make sure it's recorded perfectly for you!"
"You're not recording this for me. I've already said this variety show will be very popular, and the popularity and fans you accumulate will all be yours. But there is one advantage to you going."
An Jing pulled Wen Yue over and looked at him: "I'm entrusting Yue Yue to you. You take good care of her. If she's mistreated in the crew, I'll hold you responsible when she gets back!"
Wen Yue subconsciously replied, "No need, Sister Anjing, I can take care of myself..."
