Chapter 248: Slap Someone, Hit Someone’s Wound, Good Person and Good Deeds
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Shanchu laughed.
It was a laugh from the bottom of her heart.
Xia Jinmeng had put in some effort.
She even said say such righteous words.
If circumstances permitted, she really wanted to applaud Xia Jinmeng.
“What right do you have to look down on me?” Lin Shanchu raised her hand again as she said, “I’ll show you if I’m superior!”
“Stop!”
This time, Lin Shanchu’s raised arm was intercepted mid-air.
She turned around and saw that person who intercepted her was none other than Lu Shiyuan.
Zhou Yan was behind him, and Qi Cheng was behind them with a shocked look on his face.
Lu Shiyuan looked at Lin Shanchu with disgust, “Lin Shanchu, why are you so arrogant now?”
Lin Shanchu shook his hand off. “Whatever I do is none of your business!”
She turned around and looked at Xia Jinmeng. “Xia Jinmeng, believe it or not, I’ll make sure you can’t form a group.”
Lu Shiyuan then turned to look at Xia Jinmeng.
Xia Jinmeng bit her lip with a look of forbearance and grievance, but she said firmly, “I’m not afraid of you!”
After saying that, she ran away without looking back.
She did not look at Lu Shiyuan from the beginning to the end.
This was the first time Lu Shiyuan had seen a woman ignoring him.
His gaze involuntarily followed Xia Jinmeng.
A hairbow was pinned on top of her hair, swaying gently with her black hair. Her back was slender and graceful, overlapping with the back of a certain girl in his memory.
Lu Shiyuan was mesmerized for a moment.
Lin Shanchu saw Lu Shiyuan’s reaction and warned, “Xia Jinmeng has been an eyesore to me for a long time. Don’t get in my way.”
“I almost don’t recognize you anymore!” Lu Shiyuan had always been prejudiced against Lin Shanchu. Compared to the “pure and unpretentious” Xia Jinmeng, he felt that she was extremely vicious.
“Tch!” Lin Shanchu pushed Lu Shiyuan away and strode away with a disdainful look.
She deliberately bumped into Lu Shiyuan’s injured spot. Lu Shiyuan was in so much pain that he broke out in a cold sweat.
“President Lu!” Zhou Yan immediately went forward with concern.
Although Qi Cheng did not understand the situation, he left with Lin Shanchu without asking any question.
After he confirmed that Lu Shiyuan and the rest did not follow them, he asked
Lin Shanchu softly, “What were you doing just now?”
Lin Shanchu smiled mysteriously. “Be a good person and did good deeds.”
Qi Cheng was lost in thought.
Were slapping someone and hitting someone’s wound considered good deeds?
“Let’s go find President Nan.” Lin Shanchu was in a good mood with light-footed steps.
Qi Cheng asked in fear. “Xia Jinmeng won’t expose you, will she?”
Lin Shanchu replied, “No.”
Qi Cheng felt a little relieved.
Lin Shanchu continued, “So what if it’s exposed? It’s not like I have a f*cking gentle and kind persona.”
Qi Cheng thought of the previous interview. “You’re right.”
But soon, he realized that he had been led astray by Lin Shanchu. Qi Cheng corrected her righteously. “Anyway, it’s wrong to hit someone!”
“Yeah, you’re right.”
It was like this every time. Her actions contradicted the promises she made.
He felt numb.
Since he could not control the artist, he might as well let her do whatever she wanted.
The two of them had reached Nan Mu’s office.
When Lin Shanchu knocked on the door and entered the office, Nan Mu was on the phone.
Nan Mu casually said a few words before hanging up the phone. “What’s the matter?”
“Lu Shiyuan will come to you later,” Lin Shanchu said gently. “Remember to extort him.”
“Why will he come to me?” Nan Mu was puzzled. Lin Shanchu said the keywvord, “Xia Jinmeng.”
Nan Mu asked, “What?”
Lin Shanchu said, “I’ll leave now.”
After coming out of Nan Mu’s office, Qi Cheng was the first to notice Lu Shiyuan and Zhou Yan.
Qi Cheng reminded her, “Over there.”
“As expected, they are here.”
Lin Shanchu gave Lu Yuan a provocative smile and left with Qi Cheng.
Lu Shiyuan looked in the direction she left and said in disappointment, “She’s no longer the kind Lin Shanchu I knew.”
Zhou Yan agreed with Lu Shiyuan’s words. “President Lu, do you intend to meddle in Xia Jinmeng’s affairs?”
As the image of Xia Jinmeng running away flashed across Lu Shiyuan’s mind, he walked towards Nan Mu’s office.
Nan Mu was still wondering what Lin Shanchu meant when he heard a knock on the door.
Had Lu Shiyuan really come to look for him?
“Come in.”
The door was pushed open and Lu Shiyuan walked in with Zhou Yan.
Nan Mu was excited, but his face looked calm. “President Lu, what’s the matter?”
Although he did not know what was going on, he was overjoyed when he thought that he could extort Lu Shiyuan again.
Lu Shiyuan opened his mouth, “There may be some unhappy past between us, but when we do business, interests always come first. What do you think,
President Nan?”
“Of course.” No way! He was more or less a businessman with a conscience.
Lu Shiyuan continued, “Although Lin Shanchu can make money for your company, the benefits she can bring to your company are limited after all.” “Indeed.” No way! This ignorant brat, Lu Shiyuan, could not imagine the benefits brought by the attention grabber!
Lu Shiyuan was very satisfied with Nan Mu’s answer.
Therefore, he got to the point. “I want Xia Jinmeng to debut smoothly.”
Nan Mu roughly guessed what had happened after connecting the dots.
Pretending to be in a dilemma, he said, “Lin Shanchu is now the cash cow of
Tianzhou Media. I’m afraid the price of offending her is a bit high.”
Lu Shiyuan smiled. “You’re still attracting investment for your company’s new project, aren’t you?”
Nan Mu smiled and shook his head. “I’m not attracting investment, but I’m soliciting sponsorships.”
Investments were divisible, but it was not necessarily the case for sponsorships.
He would never give this brat a chance to earn money.
The smile on Lu Shiyuan’s face faded. “I’ll sponsor you then.”
Nan Mu smiled and said, “The new project is low-cost. 10 million yuan is enough. In addition, please give our Ji Yuan a few better resources.” 10 million yuan was not a lot of money for Lu Shiyuan, but it hurt to fork out the money.
Ji Yuan had trampled on Fu Pei to get to the top. Now, Nan Mu was deliberately touching a sore spot with Lu Shiyuan by asking him to give resources to Ji Yuan.
Zhou Yan could not bear to listen to it any longer and said, “President Nan, you’ve gone overboard.”
“Isn’t this a negotiation? Besides, I’m negotating with President Lu, and what does it have to do with you?” Nan Mu looked at Lu Shiyuan with a faint smile. “Besides, President Lu has the ability to weigh the pros and cons. He knows whether this deal can be struck or not.’
Lu Shiyuan lost the upper hand from the moment he came to find Nan Mu.
Nan Mu words were undoubtedly an impossible challenge, not giving him a way out.
For the sake of dignity, he had no choice but to strike the deal.
“Deal,” Lu Shiyuan said in a deep voice. 10 million yuan, plus a few resources.
The price was a little great.
However, it was worth it for Lin Shanchu to suffer a setback.
“I’ll get someone draft the contract now.” Nan Mu picked up his phone and called the legal department.
After drafting the contract and signing it, Nan Mu saw Lu Shiyuan off enthusiastically.
Before leaving, Nan Mu asked Lu Shiyuan considerately, “President Lu, what place do you want Xia Jinmeng to get?”
