Chapter 174: The Sad Mr. Li

Tiger Shark had paid top dollar to recruit Cat Live’s live telecasters, but they failed to ruin Cat Live. Instead, these new live telecasters failed to meet their targets and caused Tiger Shark to make huge losses.

Tiger Shark was furious about this. Now that the opportunity had landed in their laps, they were determined to defeat Cat Live in terms of popularity, so they hired Ruan Yingying to appear at the event and help promote them.

“Yingying, Tiger Shark has offered to pay more so that you can perform at the event tomorrow. They want you to suppress Cat Live. I heard one of Cat Live’s gaming live telecasters happens to be very popular.”

Ruan Yingying leaned into the seat as the makeup artists did her face. The moment she heard what the talent agent said, she looked annoyed. “They are just a live telecast platform. How could they be so demanding? Do they want me to dance in front of so many people? I am not a monkey, okay?”

Ruan Yingying despised live telecast platforms and online celebrities. She felt that they were beneath her. If Tiger Shark was not owned by Li Group, she could not be bothered attending the event.

The talent agent glanced at Ruan Yingying speechlessly. “We have already signed a contract with Tiger Shark. If you do not go, the company has to pay a fine.”

Ruan Yingying waved her hand impatiently. “Fine. You may leave.”

The talent agent was stunned when Ruan Yingying gave her permission to leave.

Had Ruan Yingying become cocky after just becoming a trending artist for a few days? What was she thinking? Did she think she was the queen or something by giving her leave?

The talent agent rolled her eyes before leaving the changing room angrily.

“Pftt.” After the talent agent left, Ruan Yingying scoffed, “What live telecast platform? Only someone like Mu Sheng would take this assignment so seriously.”

Ruan Yingying didn’t care about the competition between both the live telecaster platforms.

Ruan Yingying did not feel someone would appear out of nowhere to help Mu Sheng this time. She would undoubtedly defeat Mu Sheng overwhelmingly. After all, Ruan Yingying had a massive following now. In comparison to Mu Sheng’s fan base, it was poles apart.

In Ruan Yingying’s opinion, there was no way Mu Sheng could surpass her unless Qiao Siyu did the live telecast with her, but he was not here today.

This time, she was bound to win and could finally make Mu Sheng suffer for what Mu Sheng had done to her recently.

The atmosphere at Midsummer’s Night was completely different and Tang Tiantian looked very worried.

“Tian, I can’t believe we are attending the same event as Ruan Yingying!”

In Tang Tiantian’s heart, Ruan Yingying was a pretentious woman who acted innocent and bullied Mu Sheng to no end.

Sadly, Ruan Yingying had the backing of Talent Scout Entertainment. Since the talent agency was happy to groom her, there was nothing Tang Tiantian could do about her.

“So what if she’s there?” Jiang Tian did not bear much hope about the event to begin with. “You women just get too competitive. Does it matter if you can’t surpass Ruan Yingying for now? I am sure you will one day!”

Tang Tiantian looked at Jiang Tian in shock. Why was Jiang Tian so mature today?

“But…” Women tended to be a little more sensitive than men. “I’m just worried Mu Sheng might feel upset to see her.”

After all, Ruan Yingying kept making Mu Sheng’s life hard when they were in a girl band. Even though she had left Talent Scout Entertainment, she could not escape Ruan Yingying’s clutches.

Jiang Tian said, “Tsk. Enough. Why worry yourself over this? I will buy you two cheap mala cuisines after the event to make up for it, okay?”

Tang Tiantian went quiet as she sneered in her heart. Was there any other boss who was a bigger miser than Jiang Tian?

Jiang Tian kicked Tang Tiantian’s chair gently. “Enough. I was just teasing you. I will take you two to Fragrance Restaurant. Feel free to order anything.”

“Yay!” Tang Tiantian was instantly delighted. “Perfect! In that case, I will get cracking!”

Everyone kept talking about the event as they waited for the arrival of Saturday.

Tiger Shark and Cat Live started promoting the event happening that night online on Saturday morning.

Tiger Shark’s promotions seemed pretty normal, but they felt puzzled the moment they saw Cat Live’s marketing.

Who was Mu Sheng? Why was Cat Live going all out and marketing her on the main banner on the homepage?

God Mu was not even given any promotional slots on the website. Was Cat Live insane or something?

[Oh god! Can she get everything she wants just because she is pretty? This is making Cat Live look bad. Who is Mu Sheng? She must be a really minor artist, right? Cat Live’s standards are getting really low.]

[What do you mean pretty? Don’t you know what wonders a simple filter can do? She probably doesn’t look good in person and only looks presentable after getting photoshopped. Cat Live is so weird. Why did it not promote God Mu at all? Have they forgotten what God Mu has done for them?]

Regardless of the complaints, Cat Live did not react. The viewers were infuriated by all this mystery.

The atmosphere in the villa was starting to get weird.

Mu Sheng glanced at Li Hanchen nearby. Ever since she brought up the divorce, things became awkward between Li Hanchen and her.

It seemed they were no longer able to ignore the problem after she brought up the divorce.

It suddenly dawned on her that Li Hanchen was not like one of those colleagues or superiors she had known in her past life.

She was married to Li Hanchen.

Although they did not behave like a married couple, she could not help feeling uneasy thinking about their marriage.

“Yes?” Li Hanchen raised his head and looked at her deeply.

Mu Sheng went quiet. She was just thinking about her marriage with Li Hanchen when he looked over. Mu Sheng suddenly swallowed her words and her heart skipped a beat inexplicably as she averted her eyes uneasily.

Li Hanchen detected Mu Sheng’s avoidance and felt upset.

He wondered if Mu Sheng had changed her mind. After all, the reason she stayed was Li An.

Did she want to leave now that she had given it more thought?

A wrinkle appeared in the paper as Li Hanchen held it. “Do you have something to tell me?”

Mu Sheng was only briefly awkward before she quickly composed herself and turned to look at Li Hanchen. “I will be going out in the afternoon and won’t be home for dinner. Can you help me tell Auntie Lin?”

Li Hanchen completely shredded the newspaper in his hands. “Okay.”

Mu Sheng and Li Hanchen went quiet, and the atmosphere in the living room became awkward again.

Mu Sheng lowered her head to read and failed to detect the annoyance in Li Hanchen’s eyes. By the time Mu Sheng was about to leave, Li Hanchen was completely swallowed by his fury.

“I am heading out. Bye-bye.” Mu Sheng packed her things and told Li Hanchen before she left.

“Do you need help?” Li Hanchen’s eyes looked deep, and there was imperceptible darkness in them.

“Nope. Jiang Tian can help me.”

The moment Mu Sheng finished her sentence, Li Hanchen’s foul mood almost exploded.

Was she planning to move today? Was Jiang Tian helping her to move?
