“Brother Ting, you are just like someone.”
“Just like my beloved.”
In the president’s office at the Mo Group, Mo Shiting propped his cheek up with one hand on his desk, the girl’s sweet voice ringing in his mind, softening his gaze.
Lu Yang stood in front of him, dutifully reporting the day’s agenda. He noticed that his young master haven’t responded for a while. When he raised his head to look at him, he found Shiting in deep thought, unaware of his surroundings. “Young master?”
Lu Yang raised his voice slightly.
Finally, Mo Shiting snapped back to reality and asked, “Where did you stop?”
“I’ve finished reporting on the agenda. Next, there’s something you need to be reminded of.”
With full respect, Lu Yang said, “Recently, your two uncles have been frequently visiting the family’s ancestral home, and it’s not clear what they were saying to the elders. Now, the elders have started to doubt whether your marriage to the Young Madam is a sham. Young master, they possibly have spies planted in Blue Sky Blue Sea, so you need to be careful.”
Mo Shiting pressed his lips together. His deep gaze held a glint of determination.
Seeing his reaction, Lu Yang knew he had heard his warning and started to introduce the next topic, “Young Master, the production team of ‘Charming Female Stars’ would like to know if the winner of the finals could get an endorsement deal.”
Mo Shiting raised an eyebrow, “What do you think?”
Lu Yang quickly responded, “I’ve already rejected them.”
GT focuses on technology and never invites celebrities for endorsements. Despite this, they still have many celebrities among their ardent fans of their electronic products.
“How is Gu Li doing on the show?”
Mo Shiting finally remembered to ask about his wife.
Lu Yang truthfully replied, “Young Madam gave Qiu Yuxin a low score. When the show airs tonight, she might receive backlash. But last time, didn’t the Young Madam perform a film segment? I heard that Xue Huaimo really appreciates her and has personally invited her to be the lead actress.”
“Xue Huaimo?”
Mo Shiting looked puzzled, clearly unfamiliar with the name.
Lu Yang quickly explained, “Xue Huaimo is a highly influential director in the entertainment industry. His movies are generally award-winning, and those he propels into the limelight end up being very popular stars.”
Having said this, Lu Yang cautiously asked, “Young master, have you decided to let the Young Madam enter the entertainment industry? If she does, she’s bound to become very popular!”
Mo Shiting’s gaze darkened.
Even the most innocent person, once they step into that big dye vat, will ultimately fall into deception. He allowed her to appear on the show, but becoming a celebrity or an actress was totally out of the line!
Having thought of this, he made an immediate decision: “Notify the production team to cut Gu Li’s solo shots.”
Lu Yang: “Huh??”
Did he say something wrong?
Miles away…
Gu Li spent the whole day at home, not venturing anywhere.
At eight in the evening, “Charming Female Stars” officially started.
Excited, Gu Li turned on the TV and was simultaneously checking updates from netizens on Weibo.
And surely, when the judges were being introduced and her name was mentioned, there were a lot of skeptical voices:
“What? ‘A Sweet Pear’ is a judge?”
“She’s a nobody. By what right can she be a judge in such a show? The other judges are all big shots, what is she compared to them?”
“I heard she even made Cheng Ying apologize on the show. Did you guys see that Weibo post two days ago?”
“Did she use her connections to get this? Otherwise, how could she have the qualifications to join the show? And she even made a big shot apologize?”
“Absolutely, Cheng Ying is the artistic director of GE Entertainment. Everyone in the entertainment industry respects her. How can Gu Li act against her?” “But she’s really pretty. Can a woman this pretty really be a cartoonist? Is it possible that she had someone else draw those cartoons for her?”
The unfavorable comments grew, reaching a point where her professional abilities were being questioned.
Finally, Gu Li chose to ignore and closed her Weibo app, out of sight, out of mind.
It’s only just begun and she’s already facing this wall of vicious criticisms. When the segment where she gives Qiu Yuxin a low score goes live, she’d probably be blacklisted by the entire internet, right?
Gu Li couldn’t help but sigh.
“Young Madam, please have some fruit.”
Auntie Guan came over with a fruit plate and said with a warm smile.
“Thank you.”
Taking the fruit plate from Auntie Guan, Gu Li picked up a slice of cantaloupe and ate it. The sweetness greatly boosted her mood.
However, her good mood didn’t last long before it disappeared.
Where were her shots?
