âZhiqin?â Su Bei called out again.
Xu Zhiqin came back to her senses and smiled blankly. âPresident Su.â
âIf no one is sitting here, Iâll take the seat,â Su Bei said.
âYes, thereâs no one here. Please take a seat.â Xu Zhiqin forced a smile.
Su Bei sat down. âBrother Yue Ze has something going on these few days, but Mu Kai is going to shoot an advertisement. He needs you to accompany him.â
âOkay, Iâll take care of it,â Xu Zhiqin said.
After eating lunch in silence, Su Bei returned to the office and suddenly remembered that in the popular drama that was playing earlier, Pan Hongsen played the male lead. He previously had a scandal with Xu Zhiqin.
Strictly speaking, it was not a scandal. It was Pan Hongsenâs girlfriend who publicly accused Xu Zhiqin of trying to seduce Pan Hongsen. At that time, this matter was a hot topic and Xu Zhiqin was also scolded badly.
No wonder she looked bitter when she watched the popular drama just now. Su Bei regretted her rudeness just now.
When she was there earlier, she completely forgot about that incident.
She calmed down and dealt with her work. Yue Ze handed some contracts to Su Bei.
At the moment, Mu Kai had received a lot of invitations, but some of them were competitions, while others had scheduling conflicts.
Su Bei said, âWe can only bear the pain and refuse these opportunities. We canât accept everything.â
âThatâs what I think too. Some of them have been passed to other artistes in the company, but some can only be rejected completely.â Yue Ze adjusted his glasses.
Su Bei handed the documents back to him.
Yue Ze said, âIâm currently inspecting new artistes. Let Zhiqin accompany Mu Kai for this commercial shoot.â
âYes, Iâve already told Zhiqin.â
â¦
In the following days, Su Bei held a few more art exhibitions.
It had to be said that Qian Gouhua was indeed very capable.
He didnât do much publicity work using Su Beiâs name, nor did he use many methods to hype her up. Even so, Su Beiâs reputation as a painter was already soaring.
In a short period of time, she was hailed by the media as a promising young artist.
However, in Qian Gouhuaâs opinion, all of this was because of Su Beiâs painting skills. It was precisely because of her own ability that she could go so far.
Her aura, which had never been contaminated by the cruel world of business, forged the foundation for her to become a top master in the future.

Xu Zhiqin accompanied Mu Kai for the commercial shoot.
This commercial was for a watch brand in the country. They had taken a fancy to Mu Kaiâs elite style and planned to expand into a more mature market. They invited him to shoot a commercial and endorse their brand.
Mu Kai was already familiar with the process of shooting commercials. He went with Xu Zhiqin and waited for the shoot to begin.
However, Xu Zhiqin and Mu Kai had already been waiting for an hour.
Xu Zhiqin was a little anxious. Mu Kai still had other work to do. If things were delayed here, it would definitely affect things on the other side.
Hence, she went forward several times to urge the person in charge of the shoot to hurry up and start filming.
The other party replied, âThereâs nothing I can do. Youâll have to wait a little longer. Brother Hongsen is still filming.â
Pan Hongsen was the former spokesperson for this brand. This time, the brand was focusing on two markets. Pan Hongsen was hired to be the spokesperson to represent the brandâs youthful image.
Mu Kai was the spokesperson for the brandâs other market that targeted mature elites.
Pan Hongsen had been filming until now, which ended up making them go behind schedule.
Hearing his name, Xu Zhiqinâs face turned abnormally red.
The hidden pain in her heart quickly rose again.
âThen how long do we have to wait? Can we finish filming before two in the afternoon? Mu Kai still has an event to attend. If we delay too much, we canât afford to wait here.â Xu Zhiqinâs tone could not help but become a little stiff.
The other party also had some objections. âThis isnât something I can make a decision on. Since youâre anxious, you can choose not to film it.â
Artistes and managers had always been the ones to beg the brands. All of them were humble and would flatter the sponsors.
Xu Zhiqin also realized that her tone was a little cold. Before she could explain, the other party had already entered the filming studio.
Inside, Pan Hongsen was filming. He was currently a popular young actor, his drama was currently on air. Naturally, he was a little arrogant.
Apart from his manager, his girlfriend, Yali, was also with him today.
Although the person in charge of the filming crew was dissatisfied with Xu Zhiqinâs attitude, he still rushed Pan Hongsen dutifully. âHongsen, Mu Kai is still waiting to shoot outside. His manager said that heâs busy in the afternoon and asked us to hurry up.â
âWhich manager dares to rush you?â Pan Hongsen asked casually.
âXu Zhiqin,â the person in charge said.
Pan Hongsenâs assistant immediately mocked, âMu Kaiâs manager was originally Yue Ze. This time, Xu Zhiqin suddenly came with him. Iâm afraid she found out that Brother Hongsen was filming here, which is why she came. Is this woman here to seduce Brother Hongsen again?â
Hearing Xu Zhiqinâs name, Pan Hongsen was indeed a little unhappy.
Yali also frowned and thought to herself, âXu Zhiqin is really shameless. She followed us here again.â
She said casually, âMaybe she didnât know we were here. Donât talk about it casually.â
Everyone around nodded.
However, Yali was the one who publicly accused Xu Zhiqin of seducing Pan Hongsen back then.
âHongsen, take the photos first. Iâm going out for a drink. Iâll also make a call,â Yali said.
She walked out and called her and Pan Hongsenâs manager. âXu Zhiqin brought one of her artistes to shoot another part of this commercial. I donât think this is good for Hongsenâs image. Everyone knows that Mu Kai is an elite. Does this decision mean that Hongsen isnât elite enough? If Mu Kai can shoot it, why canât Hongsen shoot it?â
âIâll talk to the brand and see if we can fight for a better chance.â The manager felt that Yaliâs words made sense. In fact, the brand had suggested that Pan Hongsen shoot both parts, but the company felt that the price was not appropriate, so they rejected the offer.
âThen Iâll wait to hear from you,â Yali said.
The corners of her lips curled up. This time, she was not targeting Mu Kai but Xu Zhiqin.
If things went her way, Xu Zhiqin wouldâve lost an opportunity for Mu Kai. Would Nirvana Entertainment let her have it easy?
Xu Zhiqin was already anxious from waiting outside. It was almost noon, and no one had come to film the commercial that was supposed to be filmed at nine oâclock.
âMu Kai, wait a moment. Iâll ask again.â Xu Zhiqin rushed over.
She walked around and finally found Manager Liu of Tianya Watch.
Manager Liu walked out with a regretful expression and said, âMiss Xu, Iâm sorry. Tianya plans to terminate our contract with Mu Kai this time. Please leave. Weâll send the termination letter to your company when the time comes.â
Xu Zhiqinâs mind went blank!
Terminate the contract?
âWhy?â she asked in surprise. âDid we do something wrong?â
