"From an entertainment company." Gu Chenan approached, and Su Qianmo whispered a reminder before releasing her hand from the phone.
"Ms. Su, are you still there?" The voice on the other end of the line came through again.
Su Qianmo switched the call to speaker and placed the phone in front of Gu Chenan, saying, "I'm sorry, the signal was bad just now, and I didn't catch that."
"No problem." The woman repeated, "I am from the Magic City Aile Entertainment Company, and I would like to inquire about the contact information of the leading actress in your company's advertisement."
"If we do sign a contract with her, we will also pay your company a referral fee."
Hearing this, Su Qianmo whispered to Gu Chenan, "Should we agree?"
Gu Chenan glanced back at Liu Mingrui and nodded, "Agree for now."
Su Qianmo nodded and spoke into the phone, "Alright, please wait a moment. I'll have her agent contact you."
The woman on the other end of the line sounded delighted, "Thank you so much, Ms. Su. If you ever need any artists in the future, feel free to ask, and I can give you a friendly price."
After hanging up, Su Qianmo put away her phone and asked with some confusion, "Are you really going to let Mingrui sign with that entertainment company?"
Gu Chenan shrugged, "Let's ask her first. If she doesn't want to, I won't force her."
"You're not afraid I'll really become a celebrity?" Liu Mingrui stood up from the sofa, crossing her arms with a fierce expression.
Gu Chenan raised an eyebrow, "Why should I be afraid?"
Liu Mingrui frowned, pouting, "Think carefully, aren't you afraid I'll look down on you in the future?"
"Well..." Gu Chenan spread his hands, "No, not at all."
"Why?" Liu Mingrui was puzzled.
Gu Chenan chuckled, "Because I know you very well."
"You, you..." Liu Mingrui was momentarily at a loss for words, pursing her lips, "You're quite perceptive."
"Should I call them back?" Gu Chenan took out his phone and asked.
Liu Mingrui wanted to say something but hesitated, eventually waving her hand impatiently, "Do what you want, why ask me?"
"Heh, sometimes you're quite stubborn." Gu Chenan smiled faintly and dialed the number from Su Qianmo's phone.
The call was picked up instantly, indicating the other party was waiting by the phone.
"Hello, I hear your company is interested in signing my artist?" Gu Chenan spoke calmly.
"Yes, yes, yes, may I ask how you are addressed?" The other party quickly asked.
"I'm Mr. Gu." Gu Chenan replied flatly.
"Mr. Gu, nice to meet you. Yes, you're right, we are interested in signing your artist. May I ask what her name is?"
"Well..." Gu Chenan hesitated, "Let's not disclose that for now. Tell me about your company, what's the contract duration, and how is the revenue split?"
The other party paused, then laughed awkwardly, "Mr. Gu, the details need to be discussed in our company. I can't make that decision."
"Send me the address, and we'll come by when we have time."
"Sure, just a moment." After a brief pause, the woman on the other end said, "Mr. Gu, the address has been sent. We sincerely look forward to your visit."
After a few polite exchanges, Gu Chenan ended the call.
"Let's go." Gu Chenan nodded to Liu Mingrui.
"Where to?"
"Let's talk in person." Gu Chenan stretched.
...
Meanwhile, in the Public Relations Department.
"Lao Zhang, you were the one I got along with the best when I was in the company. You have to help me with this."
Zhang Hao, the PR manager, sat at his desk, talking on the phone with Sun Wei.
But upon learning the purpose of Sun Wei's call, he felt a bit troubled. Sun Wei wanted him to ask for the phone number of the leading actress in the advertisement.
This was clearly for Zhenhua!
If he really asked, wouldn't that be betraying Caiying?
However, Sun Wei not only appealed to their friendship but also promised a reward if he could get the leading actress's contact information.
Zhang Hao's education was not high; before joining Caiying, he had faced numerous rejections. He would be eliminated in the first round of interviews for better jobs, let alone becoming a department manager.
Caiying was different; they did not look down on him because of his education and provided him with a platform for fair competition.
He also managed to stand out among his peers and eventually became the PR manager.
Caiying had given him a chance to prove himself.
Without Caiying, he might have been working some menial job or tightening bolts somewhere.
To make him betray Caiying, which had given him such an opportunity?
"You want me to betray Caiying?" Zhang Hao clenched his teeth, his fists tight, and he spat out each word, "You! Have! To! Pay! More!"
"Great!" Sun Wei on the other end of the line was delighted, "Money is not a problem. Just get me that contact information as soon as possible."
After hanging up, Zhang Hao closed his eyes and let out a long breath, "Man struggles for wealth, birds die for food. Caiying, I'm sorry."
With that said, Zhang Hao felt a sudden sense of relief, as if he had a get-out-of-jail-free card.
Even the thought of the reward promised by Zhenhua made his eyes light up.
It was just a contact number, simple!
Asking the stunning model directly might not be appropriate, but asking her agent should be fine!
Although he didn't like that agent, making money wasn't shameful.
However, the agent always liked to stay in Ms. Su's office. If he wanted to talk to him, he'd have to do it when Ms. Su was out.
Zhang Hao moved his neck, opened the office door, and prepared to seize the opportunity.
But at that moment, he saw Gu Chenan leading Liu Mingrui out of Su Qianmo's office.
He was overjoyed.
This is fate!
Just as he was thinking about how the agent liked to stay in Ms. Su's office, he unexpectedly came out!
It seems agreeing to Sun Wei's request was the right choice; even the heavens are helping me!
Zhang Hao quickly closed the office door and hurried after them. As Gu Chenan and Liu Mingrui were about to enter the elevator, he quickened his pace and ran over.
"Wait, wait."
Gu Chenan turned around upon hearing the call and, seeing it was Zhang Hao, asked with some confusion, "Is something the matter?"
Zhang Hao looked around and, seeing no one else, whispered, "Do you want to take on a business deal?"
"Business? What kind of business?" Gu Chenan was puzzled; he didn't understand what Zhang Hao meant.
Seeing Gu Chenan's half-understanding, Zhang Hao frowned, "Of course, it's a big deal!"
Gu Chenan: ?
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
ions, keeping it grounded and realistic】 After quitting his job, office worker Su Yang accidentally binds with the "Enjoy Life System." As the name suggests, simply by indulging in life's pleasures, he can earn random rewards from the system—no need to spend money on beautiful women or grovel before anyone. Just enjoy, and the money follows, making it all about effortless fun. The system comes with a scanning feature, allowing him to establish a favorability bond with women rated 85 points or above. Every 20-point increase in favorability unlocks additional rewards. After suffering through over twenty years of hardship, Su Yang trembles with excitement, his dull eyes suddenly gleaming with newfound hope. "Enjoy life? How hard could that be?"
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
