Chapter 30

“Big Brother!”

Li Mo stood at the door of the study. After knocking twice, he waited quietly.

Then, Huo Xunzhou’s voice rang out from inside. “Come in.”

Li Mo pushed the door open. Huo Xunzhou looked up at him from the computer.

“You’re back.”

What was with this concerned tone?

Li Mo hesitated.

After reviewing everything that had happened today and making sure that he had not done anything wrong, he continued to walk forward with confidence.

“Ms. Lin said that dinner is about to be done.” He stopped in front of Huo Xunzhou’s desk and rubbed his hands in anticipation.

“Yes.” Huo Xunzhou was still looking at him.

Li Mo started to think about what he had done after he entered the room.

“Big Brother, if you have something to say, just say it. I’m flustered when you look at me like this.”

“What happened on your way back?” Huo Xunzhou pursed his lips.

Li Mo heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that.

So this was what Huo Xunzhou wanted to ask.

He told Huo Xunzhou in full detail about Lu Shiyuan following them on their way back.

In the end, he did not forget to praise Lin Shanchu.

“Fortunately, Ms. Lin is smart and got off the car halfway. Lu Shiyuan completely missed her. I even took him on a goose chase for a while.”

Huo Xunzhou was silent for a moment. “Let’s eat.”

…

For the next few days, Lin Shanchu stayed in Huo Xunzhou’s villa and did not go out.

She didn’t know what Huo Xunzhou and Li Mo were busy with. They left early in the morning and returned late every day. She could only see them during breakfast and dinner.

Lin Shanchu felt a long-lost sense of peace.

She finally had time to log into Weibo to see what had happened recently.

The open-screen advertisement on Weibo was a brand endorsed by a male celebrity called Ji Yuan.

She remembered that the last time she saw this brand’s advertisement outside, the spokesperson was Fu Jue.

The name Ji Yuan was not unfamiliar, though.

He made his debut at the same time as Fu Jue, and the two of them had similar personas. Fu Jue was always better than him, so he was often suppressed by him.

Since the two of them were similar, after Fu Jue’s scandal, a large number of fans went over to Ji Yuan’s side.

Most of Fu Jue’s resources were also snatched by Ji Yuan.

Such an astonishing execution ability was enough to show that Ji Yuan’s management company was very strong.

Lin Shanchu searched for it out of curiosity and found out that Ji Yuan was a signed artist under Tian Zhou Media.

No wonder the team’s execution ability was so strong.

In the original novel, she had spent most of her time thinking about love and had never really done anything about her career, so she didn’t know much about the entertainment industry.

The lifespans of popular celebrities were short, to begin with.

Therefore, most popular celebrities would change their style after they had a firm foothold.

Fu Jue, who was at the top of the list, had flipped over before he could gain his foothold. Hence, it would be very difficult for him to make a comeback.

Neither Ji Yuan nor Tian Zhou Media would give him the chance.

It would continue until Fu Jue was slowly forgotten.

This was the entertainment industry.

Compared to Fu Jue, Tang Qidai was much luckier.

The fans who had caused trouble in Lin Shanchu’s live broadcast room had been wiped out by the team in the past few days.

Tang Qidai’s main page was peaceful and quiet. There were even promotions for the new show.

The fire at Lu Manor had also been covered up by more eye-catching news.

To Lin Shanchu’s surprise, there were even netizens who sent private messages to ask if she was fine.

There were all sorts of comments under the last post.

Some scolded her for destroying Fu Jue. Some asked her when she would be livestreaming again, There were even some people who bashed her for being so narrow-minded and not letting her fiancé make friends.

It was difficult for a weak person to achieve great things.

If she wanted to destroy Lu Shiyuan, she had no other way but to make herself stronger.

…

A day before the assembly of ‘My Stage’, the show’s official Weibo account released a partial list of the members.

Some members who had their own fans had already started to recommend their idols in the comments.

There was also a portion of netizens who purely came to look at pretty girls.

Lin Shanchu clicked on the official Weibo account and realized that the top comment under the Weibo post was a familiar person.

Sugar Ginger: [This is amazing! Their looks make them look like goddesses at war with each other! I’m already starting to worry about which pretty girl I should vote for! Sob!]

There were thousands of comments below:

[I knew that Sugar would show up wherever the pretty girls are!]

[Hahaha! Sugar, please be more refined!]

[As you all know, Ginger loves looking at gorgeous people the most!]

[I predict that Sugar will only upload her videos once per year just to look at pretty girls!]

When Lin Shanchu saw this comment, there was a knock on the door.

“Mr. Nan.”

When she opened the door, she saw Nan Mu standing outside.

Nan Mu held the lollipop that was previously in his mouth. “We’re all friends, so don’t be courteous with me. Just call me by my name.”

Under Nan Mu’s expectant eyes, Lin Shanchu slowly said, “Nan Mu.”

“Yeah!” Nan Mu replied in a pleasant voice. Then, he changed the topic and said seriously, “What are we having for lunch?”

He looked like a puppy that had been hungry for three days.

“Stewed beef,” Lin Shanchu answered.

“Stewed beef is great! Xunzhou and I both love it,” Nan Mu said and turned to leave.

“Did you forget something?” Lin Shanchu asked lightly.

Tomorrow was the gathering day for ‘My Stage’. Nan Mu must have come to Huo Xunzhou’s house today to talk to her about the show.

“Sh*t! I’ve forgotten what I’m here for once I heard that there’s good food!” Nan Mu smacked his own head.

Then, he returned.

“The production crew will gather at 10 o’clock in the morning tomorrow. Don’t be late. The camera crew will be following you as soon as you arrive. Prepare three months’ worth of clothes. Then again, with our relationship, you can tell me in secret if you need anything!”

Nan Mu even winked at her.

Lin Shanchu hesitated and asked, ” What’s our relationship?”

“The thing you have going on with Xunzhou, of course. We’re all on the same side.” Nan Mu gave her a look that said ‘you know what I mean’.

Lin Shanchu looked behind Nan Mu.

“What? Eek!” Nan Mu turned around and was startled by Huo Xunzhou, who had appeared behind him.

He exclaimed, “Weren’t you downstairs? When did you come here?”

Huo Xunzhou’s face was expressionless. “It was when you said ‘we’re all on the same side’.”

Nan Mu choked and changed the topic. “Did you change your wheelchair again? Why isn’t there any sound?”

“Can you explain what’s going on between me and Lin Shanchu?” Huo Xunzhou asked.

“Well…” Nan Mu slowly put his index fingers together and carefully looked at Huo Xunzhou. “This kind of thing.”

The moment Huo Xunzhou’s face darkened, Nan Mu immediately jumped behind Lin Shanchu and hid.

His movements were very fluent. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Lin Shanchu, save me!”

Lin Shanchu was speechless.

She pursed her lips nervously when she saw Huo Xunzhou’s cold and gloomy expression.

She was also very afraid, okay?
