Be reborn and be happy to the fullest

Chapter 712: The Envy and Jealousy of Beauty

"As the China-Korea Contest approaches, since yesterday, March 3, all media outlets across the Internet have begun to frequently and intensively report on the China-Korea Contest..."

"The focus of South Korean and domestic media reports are all on South Korean idol groups, while reports on domestic singers are mainly focused on veteran top stars. The Chopstick Brothers appeared on the Spring Festival Gala last year with "Old Boy" and became an instant hit. Logically, they would also be the focus of reports, but the media reported very little. According to the information we have learned from our investigation, it was Zhou Huanian who issued a ban order in the circle..."

"The ban on Chopsticks Brothers is not limited to Zhou Huanian alone. He is a veteran big shot in the industry. Like everyone else, he is a monopoly on all kinds of resources and discourse power. These people have long reached a tacit understanding that the most severe punishment for disobedient artists is to ban them, and to ban them together!"

"It's the eve of the China-Korea Contest, which should be the hottest time for the group to take on various commercials. However, after the ban was issued, not only have no advertisers asked Chopstick Brothers for prices in the past two days, but even advertisers that have cooperated with the company in the past have put pressure on the company, hoping that the company can restore the commercial value of Chopstick Brothers as soon as possible..."

In the bright and spacious office of Qianyu Times, Li Shuo sat slightly back in the boss chair, with Wei Shuting in front of him reporting various recent information to him.

Every word Wei Shuting said corresponded to a trick Zhou Huanian played, and the destructive power behind it forced Li Shuo to admit that he had underestimated this Beijing circle boss! Zhou Huanian's previous tolerance of Li Shuo was based on the maintenance of the status quo by the vested interests. At least his rank in the Beijing circle was higher than Li Shuo's.

Li Shuo looked a little serious and asked, "When will the concert start?"

Wei Shuting looked down at the time and said, "It's 7 o'clock in the evening. Brother Chopsticks has already gone to the Beijing Opera Center. We can leave later..."

Although Zhou Huanian is extremely powerful, Li Shuo also has his own influence. Some industry bigwigs were invited to this concert and VIP front-row seats were specially set up. Li Shuo's name was on the list of invited guests.

"Well, is Lan Ying'er free today?"

"You want to bring Lan Ying'er with you?" Wei Shuting was a little surprised. After all, Jin Chen and Li Yitong were also going to perform on stage at the concert.

"Of course, we are a famous golden couple in Beijing! It's appropriate to bring a girlfriend to this kind of occasion."

The actual situation is that Li Shuo has understood the mystery of "competition" and gradually began to no longer reject the Shura Field as long as he was confident of his own success.

"Since the day before yesterday, I have transferred part of the management rights of Shuoguo Culture to Miss Lan Ying'er. Recently, she has taken a short vacation from the Central Academy of Drama. She should be at Shuoguo Culture now..."

"Um"

Li Shuo nodded, picked up his phone, and called Lan Ying'er...

"Honey! Why did you think of calling me?" When the call was connected, Lan Ying'er's tone was full of surprise. Since Li Shuo came to Beijing, he only accompanied her for two days at the beginning. Later, he had been wandering between the two campus beauties of Beijing Dance Academy, but ignored her.

"You've been working hard lately. Is the company difficult to manage?"

"Hehe, this is our company. It doesn't matter if it's a little hard. Besides, I'm here to be the boss' wife..."

"Wrong, you are the boss. When you take control of the Beijing branch, I will be the 'boss lady' who can lie behind you peacefully..."

"goose……"

"Do you have time tonight..."

Wei Shuting listened to the silvery laughter coming from the phone and couldn't help but sigh that her boss was too charming. Lan Ying'er was the fish she was responsible for. She naturally knew that the reason why Lan Ying'er was "focused on work" recently was because she was neglected by a man. The daughter of a listed company was also a strong-willed person. She had been holding back from contacting Li Shuo and secretly competing with the man.

As a result, today the man just called and immediately couldn't hold it anymore...

Just as she was daydreaming, Li Shuo finished his call and told her, "I've already asked Zhu Mingyu to follow up on Brother Kuaizi's matter. Tingting, go and make arrangements for Lan Ying'er..."

"Yes"

……

"Lan Ying'er, what's going on?"

"What else could it be? She must be missing her man like crazy..."

"Tsk tsk, I always thought Li Shuo was a prince charming, but now it seems that being handsome and rich is not necessarily a good thing..."

Outside the president's office of Shuoguo Culture, Song Cheche and other three beauties from the Central Academy of Drama sat together. Lan Ying'er came to Shuoguo Culture to be the boss. For various reasons, they were all very interested in this, so they got together today to visit Lan Ying'er, and ended up running into her answering the phone inside.

The three beauties were all well-informed. On the one hand, they knew that Li Shuo seemed to have caused a big stir in Beijing Dance Academy, causing the two school beauties of Beijing Dance Academy to be jealous of him. On the other hand, they also heard the news that Zhou Huanian had a conflict with Li Shuo.

Emotionally, they naturally support Li Shuo, but as best friends, they are bound to have some little thoughts. Li Shuo is not only unfaithful and cheating, but also suppressed by the bigwigs in the circle. From the perspective of Sanmei, this matter is still secretly satisfying.

Of course, Qiao Yuxin and Zhao Ziying were secretly happy, but Song Cheche, who had an ambiguous relationship with Li Shuo, was still a little worried.

"Everyone, what would you like to eat for lunch today? I'll treat you!" At this time, Lan Ying'er came out of the office and spoke loudly to everyone.

The girls were "shocked" and joked:

"What's wrong with you? You've been gloomy all morning, and now you've encountered something happy?"

"What's the good news? How many months has it been? Let me hear it..."

"Go! Go! Go"

Lan Ying'er pushed Qiao Yuxin away and said with a reserved smile, "I have an appointment tonight. I'm going to attend the Chinese-Korean Concert. Um, the first row VIP seats!"

"Wow, this is incredible" "The Chinese-Korean Song Festival is the best in the industry"

The three beauties all praised and provided emotional value to their bestie tacitly.

But after a while of arguing, Zhao Ziying finally asked, "Did Li Shuo bring you in? Are you two reconciled?"

Lan Ying'er raised her eyebrows: "What do you mean by reconciled? We didn't have a fight!"

"Come on, don't you see how you looked a few days ago, like a woman in the boudoir..."

Zhao Ziying sneered and said, "We are relieved that you two can make peace with each other. You don't know that we were just discussing Li Shuo..."

"What are you talking about?" Lan Ying'er asked.

Song Cheche laughed and said, "These two picky people think that Li Shuo is handsome and rich, which is not a good thing. He will easily attract many women..."

In one sentence, the atmosphere suddenly became cold.

Lan Ying'er was silent for a moment, then she forced a smile and said, "It's okay, I won't take Jingwu's affairs to heart..."

The three beauties hurriedly comforted him, saying, "Don't worry, Li Shuo is not that kind of person," "He likes you the most, otherwise he wouldn't bring you to the Huahan Song Contest."

However, the other four girls, except Qiao Yuxin, were all shrewd people. Everyone understood that these were just polite words. Li Shuo's reputation as the "perfect boyfriend" had already been broken among the four beauties of the Central Academy of Drama. Correspondingly, everyone's envy of Lan Ying'er had now been reduced to the extreme...

Because of the low mood, Lan Ying'er finally found a western restaurant near Shuoguo Culture Company. The four girls all had small appetites, so they ate a pitiful amount before declaring the end of lunch. However, Lan Ying'er was not a career-oriented woman, so she took her bestie and chatted for more than an hour in the restaurant...

It was not until around 2 p.m. that Lan Ying'er received a call from Wei Shuting. She was shocked and said, "Oh no, I forgot something. Let's stop here for today. I'm leaving first..."

Zhao Ziying asked: "What else do you have to do this afternoon? Isn't it still early for the concert?"

As they spoke, the three girls also stood up along with Lan Ying'er.

Lan Ying'er said as she walked: "Shuo Ge'er prepared some clothes for me. I'm going to try them out this afternoon. In addition, he also said he would give me a surprise. I don't know..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she saw Wei Shuting get out of the passenger seat of a Rolls-Royce, nodded and said to Lan Ying'er, "Miss Lan, the boss asked me to pick you up..."

“Tsk, this is the most expensive Phantom of Rolls-Royce, right? Li Shuo is so rich!” Qiao Yuxin’s muttering fully reflects the current mentality of the four beauties of the Central Academy of Drama: although they say “handsome and rich but not fickle”, when the luxury car really appears in front of them, the feeling it gives people is very different.

Lan Ying'er noticed the new license plate and asked Wei Shuting curiously, "Is this the new car that Shuo Ge'er bought in Beijing? How much is it?"

Wei Shuting nodded and replied, "Boss has just established a car sales company and bought some cars for Shuoguo Culture, Qianyu Times, and our secretarial office. Two of them are Rolls-Royces and two Maybachs, all of which have Beijing license plates. The prices are nearly a million cheaper than the market price..."

Song Cheche smacked his lips and said, "I heard that the price of a Rolls-Royce Phantom was around 10 million before. Now it seems that it really lives up to its reputation. The price fluctuation alone is worth a million?"

Zhao Ziying glanced at her and complained, "Although it is a phantom worth about 10 million, if you don't have some strength, don't expect to get it so cheaply. Li Shuo has opened another company, and it covers the import and export of automobiles!"

Her family conditions are much better and her horizons are broader, so she grasped the key point in one sentence: Li Shuo runs a large company that can import cars, not an ordinary 4S store!

Looking at the expressions of her best friends, Lan Ying'er felt inexplicably proud: before this, her best friends had always complained about Li Shuo's fickleness and also said some bad things about her boyfriend in front of her, which naturally made her feel uncomfortable. But now, all these troubles seemed to be swept away in an instant.

At this time, Qiao Yuxin grabbed Lan Ying'er's arm and said, "Ying'er, we haven't ridden the Phantom yet. Let's go together and take care of your poor girlfriends..."

His eyes were blinking, and he looked pitifully cute.

"no problem……"

Lan Ying'er was in a very good mood, and then she invited others to get in the car, saying, "You guys don't have anything to do this afternoon, why don't you go shopping with me..."

"Didn't Li Shuo ask you to pick you up? How can we be a third wheel if you two are together?" Song Cheche was actually more concerned about Li Shuo's movements.

Lan Ying'er pouted and said, "He, I don't know what he's been busy with all day. He said he would pick me up before the party... No, Shu Ting, we need to pick him up in the end, right?"

Wei Shuting in front of her nodded with a smile, and Lan Ying'er spread her hands to her other girlfriends: "Look, I still have to pick up that guy! Let's go shopping together. Li Shuo gave me a card and said it was a black card with no credit limit. You can help me get revenge today and max out his card!"

"Hehe, sure, sure. I love swiping credit cards the most!" Qiao Yuxin nodded frantically.

Zhao Ziying stretched out her claws to scratch her big papaya and complained: "Hey, Lan Ying'er is showing off to us, and you are still responding..."

Song Cheche nodded with a smile: "Fortunately, among our sisters, Li Shuo met Lan Ying'er first. If she had met Qiao Yuxin, she would have been bewitched by her..."

"What if Li Shuo met you first?" Zhao Ziying asked abruptly.

"Well, I don't know. I guess it's hard to escape his clutches..."

The two of them sang in unison, as if they were praising Li Shuo, but they were also fighting back against Lan Ying'er's secret show of affection.

The relationship between the four beauties of the Central Academy of Drama is like this. They are not pure besties, but they are much closer than the ordinary "beauty alliance". They have some calculations to compare with each other, but they all know that getting along well with each other can bring greater benefits...

Phantom quickly rushed to the shopping mall that the four beauties frequented most. The four of them went shopping together, spending more than two hours in one go. If Lan Ying'er hadn't needed to get her hair done, they would have shopped until late at night!

When Wei Shuting brought Lan Ying'er to a high-end salon and started doing her hair and makeup, the other three women began to think:

"Wow, it was so cool to swipe the card today. I declare that I will find a rich boyfriend in the future!" Qiao Yuxin is still her usual naive style.

Song Cheche paid more attention to details and said with a smile: "Not only do you need to be rich, you also need to have your own company. Don't forget, there were four security guards from Shuoguo carrying our bags just now, and this was under the premise that many stores did not provide us with ready stock..."

As for Zhao Ziying, she was even more ambitious. She took out her bag, opened it and placed it in front of the two girls: "What's in this? Take a closer look. How much did you spend on this crazy shopping spree..."

Looking at the LV bag filled with receipts, Qiao Yuxin widened her eyes and smacked her lips, "So many?"

Song Cheche became interested and quickly picked up the receipt and started counting...

After an unknown amount of time, Song Cheche said in shock: "114 million! We spent so much money in just two hours?"

Zhao Ziying said, "Yes, we spent a lot, but not as much as you might imagine! Although we went to LV and Burberry, the expensive items were only tens of thousands of yuan. No matter how much the four of us spent, it would only be this much..."

“That’s not much!”

At this moment, even Song Cheche felt that Zhao Ziying was a little too ambitious. The latter laughed and pointed at the Rolls-Royce Phantom outside the floor-to-ceiling glass window.

Song Cheche curled her lips and muttered, "That's Li Shuo's company's car, not a gift for Lan Ying'er..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a beige SUV driving up to the Phantom. He took a closer look at the logo, and it was another Rolls-Royce! At the same time, Wei Shuting got up and walked out...
