"You piece of trash! Lu Liruan, it doesn't matter who you sell to, while I can still negotiate a good price for you..." Yan Ke rolled his eyes in anger, but he had no choice but to continue to haggle with Lu Liruan.

After all, he had made a promise to President Wang without his consent, and now that he couldn't keep it, President Wang would be angry with him.

He never expected Lu Liruan to be so stubborn and unyielding.

"I recorded it..."

Just when Yan Ke thought Lu Liruan would continue to resist him, he suddenly heard the girl's voice become clear and calm, even with a hint of sweetness.

"Ah~ You're so easily provoked! I only said a few words and you spilled the beans. Okay, now you can be a little more polite to me." Lu Liruan tapped her fingernails on her phone case.

“First, start by apologizing to me.” Lu Liruan crawled out of the soft blankets and rubbed her messy hair.

"Lu Liruan!"

"three two……"

"Don't be impulsive. This isn't something I can decide alone. It concerns the company's interests, and it's not just our company doing this. If you leak this out, you'll definitely be in big trouble!" Yan Ke was stunned; he had never been threatened like this before.

The artists he sold out either submitted and stood on his side, or they compromised and dared not speak out. But Lu Liruan gave him the feeling that she was really willing to fight to the death.

“yi…”

"I'm sorry!" Yan Ke squeezed out through gritted teeth, "Li Ruan, we can talk this over."

Yan Ke had done many things without authorization, and he was also openly defying the company while secretly seeking personal gain.

"Where did they all go wrong?" Lu Liruan snorted.

"Li Ruan, you can name your conditions. You're doing quite well in variety shows right now, and I can help you get access to suitable resources. Mr. Wang really likes you. If you agree, you can keep 70% of your next film's salary!" Yan Ke was really going all out.

"Oh? That's so nice? Then I... won't agree!" Lu Liruan scoffed.

"Fine, if you behave yourself, I'll consider not releasing the recording for now. After all, let's make money peacefully."

Lu Liruan was too lazy to deal with the mess behind the scenes. Her focus was on Cheng Nianzhi. Holding his weakness in her hands and preventing him from acting recklessly was the safest option.

Yan Ke breathed a sigh of relief. He had always thought Lu Liruan was stupid and brainless, but he never expected that she would dare to trick him.

"laugh--"

Unbeknownst to Lu Liruan, her voice had been carried to the neighbor's house through the slightly ajar window of the balcony since the beginning of the night.

At this moment, Cheng Nianzhi was sitting on a recliner in the corner of the balcony, swaying comfortably while listening to Lu Liruan's witty remarks.

The sneer came from his phone, which was lying to the side. Cheng Nianzhi's agent had just made a video call and was also listening to the commotion.

“How low-class…” Cheng Nianzhi’s manager drawled.

"Shh—" Cheng Nianzhi twitched the corner of his mouth, silencing him: "I can't hear you."

"There are plenty of these kinds of things, what's so interesting about them?" The manager was puzzled. He had been with Cheng Nianzhi since his debut and had never seen Cheng Nianzhi so interested in other artists' affairs, to the point that he even had to eavesdrop on them.

Cheng Nianzhi's agent, He Yujin, has known Cheng Nianzhi since childhood. He is also a young master from a prominent family and does not need to inherit the family business. He works as Cheng Nianzhi's agent to avoid being blamed by his family for being idle.

When the head of the He family heard that He Yujin was going to be with Cheng Nianzhi, he even praised his irresponsible youngest son.

"Why do you have such a good impression on the older generation?" He Yujin complained at the time, but she had to admit that most of her peers also had a kind of inexplicable trust in Cheng Nianzhi.

“What’s interesting isn’t the events, it’s the people.” Cheng Nian ran his fingers over the delicate petals beside him. He sat among the flowers on the balcony, his eyes slightly closed, the bright and clear morning light shining on him, making him look as beautiful as a flower goddess descending to earth.

"I don't see anything interesting about it." He Yujin couldn't appreciate it.

"By the way, which is prettier, me or a flower?"

"Huh?" He Yujin thought she had misheard when she heard the question.

Looking over, he found Cheng Nianzhi with a calm and composed expression, waiting leisurely for his answer.

"What, is it hard to answer?" Cheng Nianzhi bent down and touched the flower stem.

"You, you're beautiful," He Yujin said dryly, her eyes saying: Are you still half asleep?

"Yeah, she thinks I'm good-looking too." Cheng Nianzhi tilted her head, and the smile on her face gave He Yujin goosebumps.

"When I'm with her, I have a very strange feeling, a wonderful feeling, a very..." His words faded away softly.

"Who are you talking about? Nianzhi, don't scare me. Should I call a doctor for you?" He Yujin leaned forward, her face filling the entire screen.

Cheng Nianzhi frowned and placed the phone screen face down on the small table.

"Go check it out."

"What to check?"

"What you just heard."

"Okay, okay, I'll agree to whatever you say..." He Yujin said in the tone of a scumbag coaxing a girl: "Just don't have a relapse, please, it's really creepy."

Cheng Nianzhi pondered for a moment, then turned her phone screen back up, propped her chin on her hand, and looked directly at He Yujin: "I feel great right now, better than ever before."

"Haha, really?" He Yujin thought to herself: Have you unlocked a new prelude to an attack?

"I'll check for you. Are you getting ready to film a live stream? Go change your clothes quickly." He Yujin sighed.

She thought that following Cheng Nianzhi would be easy, and that she would just be a figurehead.

I never imagined that I, a young man in the prime of my life, would become more and more of a worrywart and a gossip...

There was no response from Lu Liruan's side, and Cheng Nianzhi said somewhat listlessly, "Well, thank you for your help."

Lu Liruan vented her anger. Yan Ke was like a toad jumping on people's feet, not biting but annoying.

Lu Liruan had no idea how many of his artists had been subjected to this threat, whether willingly or unwillingly.

Once my tasks become more stable, I'll definitely make him regret it!

After lingering in bed for a while, Lu Liruan finally got up under the urging of the last alarm clock and swayed as she went to the bathroom to wash up.

Lu Liruan hummed a song while brushing her teeth as she opened her suitcase and searched for the clothes she would wear that day.

The "naive and sweet" outfit...

The "naive and sweet" outfit...

A cute and innocent outfit with a bow...

Lu Liruan looked at the pink and tender clothes spread all over the bed and was speechless.

Recently, Lu Liruan finally found a reasonably... suitable piece of clothing in the corner of her second suitcase.

Bringing a lot of luggage also has its advantages. Lu Liruan took out a huge hair curling machine, curled up her combed hair, and casually applied a cushion foundation.

Her natural skin tone was already very beautiful, but it would appear too pale on camera. Lu Liruan took a picture of herself with the rear camera of her phone, took out a blush palette, and swept it onto her face.
