The filming for the drama and its finale banquet had just ended yesterday, yet before Ye Mu could even take a break. She received a call from Ji An asking her to go to the company not long after Mo Shen left the mansion.
When Ye Mu entered the company building, the staff members were strangely more polite towards her than usual.
Ji An was sitting in her office. She was all smiling while in the middle of a phone call. Seeing Ye Mu entering her office, she gestured for her to take a seat.
“All right, you don’t have to worry about this. We’re all from the same company. It’s only natural that we do our best to make the artists of our company as famous as possible. I just hope that in the future, Special Assistant Yan would give our artists more of such opportunities.”
It was rare to see Ji An being so polite to someone.
Ye Mu sat on the opposite side of Ji An as she listened to her conversation.
Ji An ended the call and the smile on her face didn’t fade. She looked at Ye Mu and said, “Ye Mu, I would like to congratulate you.”
“Congratulate me?” Ye Mu was surprised. Ji An’s sudden words confused her. She looked at Ji An in a daze.
Ji An tapped her fingers on the table as her delicately caked-up face filled with pride, “The Mo’s are trying to groom new artists and they have been looking for newcomers who had just made their debut. You are one of their chosen ones. And it’s for a big brand endorsement at that!”
“Me? How could it be me?” Ye Mu couldn’t help but point at herself in surprise.
“Don’t you understand? In the eyes of their company, you are the one with the most potential.”
Ji An didn’t doubt her words at all.
After all, among the few newcomers that had been selected. Only Ye Mu had her own commercial, and she even had her own drama. Furthermore, she was also slightly better than the others in all aspects.
Ji An was now expecting more from Ye Mu, “Just wait, you’ll definitely be famous.”
Although Ye Mu didn’t quite understand what the endorsement was all about, she didn’t ask further questions related to it.
Ji An kept Ye Mu in the company so that she could teach her a thing or two about the details that she must pay attention to, as well as some issues that she should correct pertaining to her speech. It was only until noon did Ji An finally let her go.
Ye Mu stepped out of the New Earth Building and she turned back abruptly, staring straight at the tallest building in the city in front of her. She let out a sigh of relief, “Turns out, I can be there too…”
She looked up at the billboard hanging on the building. Suddenly, the introduction film edited by the company for the newcomers was broadcasted. When Ye Mu saw herself in it, she could not help but feel joyful in her heart.
When she moved her eyes away and was about to leave, she turned her head around and saw Mo Shen walk out of the building. He was surrounded by a large group of people, with strangely uniform steps, and had a frightening aura.
“Young Uncle…” Ye Mu hesitated for two seconds before she hurriedly moved forward to call out Mo Shen.
Mo Shen did not hear her. When she wanted to move closer, the people surrounding him did not allow her to move closer.
Mo Shen was now further away from her and he did not hear her voice at all. He tilted his head to talk to his assistant next to him before getting into the car directly.
Ye Mu walked two steps down the stairs and she felt that it was weird. Why would Mo Shen walk out of the Mo’s subsidiary building? And he seemed to be putting up an air?
But Ye Mu was afraid that this was a case of mistaken identity, so she quickly gave Mo Shen a call.
“What’s the matter?” Mo Shen, who was in the car, saw the caller’s name and answered the call with a soft smile on his thin lips. His voice even softened as he asked. This made the secretary who was in the same limited-edition Limousine as him somewhat dumbstruck.
In fact, the secretary was even starting to doubt if there was something wrong with his ears.
Ye Mu was walking on the street as she talked to Mo Shen over the phone, “Young Uncle, did you just walk out of the Mo’s building? I think I just saw you!”
The car was already far away, but Mo Shen still took a glance sideways through the window and explained, “No, I’m at home.”
“You’re at home?” Ye Mu was taken aback. The bus stopped just in front of the stop sign and she got into the bus quickly, “Oh, I must have been mistaken.”
“Yeah.” Mo Shen replied, changing the subject as he asked, “Why are you at Mo’s?”
Ye Mu was placing the coins for her fare into the machine when she heard Mo Shen’s question. A smile blossomed on her face as she explained, “Sister Ji told me to go over. I think I will have another job again.”
“Congratulations.” Mo Shen heard the joy in her voice and his deep eyes became inexplicably filled with warmth.
Ye Mu accepted Mo Shen’s blessings with delight as she said hurriedly, “I’m about to go home now, let’s talk about it later when I get there.”
“…” Mo Shen’s expression changed slightly.
It took him quite a while before he could answer, “All right.”
The few special assistants on Mo Shen’s car were sitting upright, seemingly focused on their own tasks. But their attention was actually on Mo Shen’s phone call.
Mo Shen furrowed his eyebrows as he ended the call. He looked down at his phone and then pinched his glabella before instructing his assistant, “Let’s go to Hua Jing District.”
“Huh?” The assistant was stunned.
After Mo Shen glanced over to him in indifference, he said hesitantly, “Aren’t… aren’t we going to President Qin and talk to him about the project?”
“Inform him to go and follow us to Hua Jing District.” Mo Shen simply replied.
The assistant quickly kept his mouth shut, not daring to speak anymore.
The car eventually stopped in front of Ye Mu’s Hua Jing mansion.
Qin Xin had already arrived after receiving the instruction from Mo Shen’s assistant.
Mo Shen then dismissed everyone, so only he and Qin Xin proceeded to enter Ye Mu’s mansion in Hua Jing.
Qin Xin and Mo Shen have been friends for a long time.
Seeing Mo Shen walk over in his direction, he immediately extinguished the cigarette in his hand and said in dissatisfaction, “Didn’t you say that we’re going to F Company to look at the production line? Why did you summon me to your residence instead?”
“Aren’t you curious about my private life? I’m letting you take a look today.” Mo Shen placed both of his hands into his pockets as he glanced at Qin Xin before moving along.
Qin Xin tidied his suit with both hands and snorted, “Do you know what private life means? Private life does not mean your residence, okay? I’m not interested in a workaholic’s residence.”
“It’s not a residence, it’s a home…”
Mo Shen turned around unexpectedly and slightly smiled at Qin Xin.
Qin Xin was horrified upon witnessing Mo Shen smile at him. Is the world ending soon?
“Ah, Shen… could it be that the reason why you have never looked for a woman is…” Qin Xin looked at Mo Shen with suspicion in his eyes, “Is it because you have fallen in love with me? I’m sorry, but let me tell you this. We might have a good relationship and I know that I am very attractive. However, my sexual orientation is normal. So, I hope that you won’t treat me like…”
“Say one more word!” Before he could finish speaking, Mo Shen was already glaring at him with his phoenix-shaped eyes, the intent in his gaze meant nothing else but death.
Qin Xin immediately laughed and walked forward, patting Mo Shen’s shoulders, “Don’t take it seriously, I was just joking with you.”
The mansion wasn’t Mo Shen’s high-end villa. Qin Xin found it somewhat strange and he was about to open his mouth to ask about it, when suddenly… some movements rang out from behind the living room door.
Qin Xin turned to look at the direction of the noise as Ye Mu opened the door and came in.
When Ye Mu saw a stranger in her house, she was surprised and paused. But before she could ask anything, Qin Xin raised an eyebrow at her and asked, “Little girl, who are you looking for?”
Qin Xin was the kind of person who would talk to any woman he saw. However, the innocent-looking girl in front of him was not his cup of tea. He preferred women that looked more mature.
“Oh, you’re back?”
Mo Shen came from downstairs as if he was really in the house all this while. Under Qin Xin’s surprised gaze, Mo Shen walked over to Ye Mu’s side and said to her, “I want to introduce to you my friend, Qin Xin.”
As his words fell, he embraced Ye Mu’s shoulders with his arms and looked at Qin Xin, “My wife, Ye Mu.”
Qin Xin stared at the two of them in a daze.
His mouth gaped open in surprise, his mouth opened so wide that one could fit two eggs in it.
Are… are my ears working?!
