Chapter 582: What A Messy Circle (5)

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

In the end, Ming Shu’s opinion didn’t matter. The company that she was signing a contract with belonged to Luo Chuan. Hence, Luo Chuan joined their party.

With Luo Chuan around, the rest tried to be more discreet. This contract signing should be done by Luo Chuan, but he said that he was not free. That was why they came.

At the start, when they walked into the meeting room, they were afraid that Ming Shu would mind. However, she didn’t even bother with it. She didn’t care who came.

They finally let out a sigh of relief, but who knew that Luo Chuan would pop out suddenly.

Luo Chuan sat in front of Ming Shu. “I have not introduced myself. My name is Luo Chuan. Luo as in the Luo River, and Chuan which means mountain.”

Ming Shu glanced at him and then turned to stare at the food on the table.

Luo Chuan: “…”

Luo Chuan asked the waiters to serve the dishes. All kinds of dishes started appearing and the empty table was immediately filled up. The room was filled with the fragrance of the food.

“Boss Xu, shall we have a drink?” Luo Chuan poured a glass of red wine for Ming Shu personally.

Ming Shu took her chopsticks and started picking the food. “Why do we need to drink during a meal? Have a drink yourself.”

Everyone: “…” Dead. Someone rebutted the little devil.

The secretary: “…” I don’t want to talk. I want to be alone.

Luo Chuan did not get angry and gave a low laugh. He placed his hand on Ming Shu’s chair and leaned toward her slightly. “Boss Xu, is it okay for you to talk to your business partner like this? It’s not cute at all.”

“I have not signed the contract.” Ming Shu smiled. “You’re thinking too much.”

“Does that mean that you don’t want to sign it?” Luo Chuan’s tone went up.

[Additional Task: Gain Hatred Points from Luo Chuan.]

Are you assigning the tasks on time now?

Harmony System, you have made an improvement!

[Thanks for your compliment. All the best, Guest.]

Ming Shu tilted her and sized Luo Chuan up.

Luo Chuan let her look at him generously.

Ming Shu retrieved her gaze and chewed her food. She swallowed before saying, “I will consider it. We can disperse after we finish this meal.”

What she was trying to say was, she would not sign the contract.

Luo Chuan wasn’t surprised at all. He even complimented her for some reason. “You are very bold.”

Everyone: “…” Boss Luo, shouldn’t you say something? Are we really not signing the contract? Wake up, Boss Luo!

Luo Chuan had no intention of asking her to stay.

Everyone was helpless. Very good, because of a meal, the contract was gone.

The secretary was speechless too. They had been discussing the contract for half a month but Boss Xu just decided not to sign it like this. How would she tell everyone back at the office?

Boss Xu, don’t be willful!

Ming Shu and Luo Chuan finished eating and just left, each going back to their own place.

“Take care, Boss Xu.”

“Take care, Boss Luo.”

The two of them looked at each other intently and then turned around to walk to their cars at the same time.

On the way back, both of them got bombarded by their subordinates.

“Boss Xu, the people from the company… if you don’t sign the contract, they will target you more. Let me contact them and we’ll go back and sign the contract.”

Ming Shu was firm. “No.”

The secretary was really puzzled. “Why not?”

Ming Shu smiled. “I don’t like him.”

The secretary: “…”

The same thing happened on the other side.

“Boss Luo, we have discussed this project for a long time. It is very profitable. Also, Beichen Entertainment has the backing of the Xu family. They are worthy of our partnership. If we contact them now, we might be able to get them to sign the contract.”

“No.”

“Why not!”

Boss Luo smiled at the person. “She will go bankrupt soon.”

“…”

…

Although the script of Vast Sceneries belonged to Beichen, the actors and actresses from the show came from other entertainment companies too.

After the final few roles were decided, the opening ceremony would commence. Since it was their annual big movie, Ming Shu would have to be present at the opening ceremony too.

The secretary was afraid that Ming Shu would create trouble and kept an eye on her for the entire ceremony.

After Ming Shu met the main leads, she waited in the resting room for the opening ceremony to start. The secretary kept glancing at her. She didn’t even dare to leave the room even when she was answering her calls.

Once Ming Shu moved, the secretary got nervous. “Boss Xu, what do you need?”

“Restroom.” Ming Shu popped two peanuts into her mouth. “Do you want to go for me?”

The secretary felt awkward. “I’ll bring you over.”

“Why are you watching over me as though I’m a criminal?”

The secretary wanted to cry.

I don’t want to do this, either! Look at what you did in the company these few days! Those people want to kill you! What can I do?

The secretary brought Ming Shu to the restroom. The minute she stepped into the restroom, she heard the sound of a slap.

“Xia Lian, have some face.”

Xia Lian and a pretty lady were standing face to face at the entrance of the restroom. The person that slapped Xia Lian must have been the pretty lady—the lead of Vast Sceneries.

When the pretty lady saw someone entering, she got nervous. However, she calmed down quickly and greeted Ming Shu in a reserved manner. “Boss Xu.”

Xia Lian wanted to retaliate but since Ming Shu suddenly entered, she couldn’t make a move now. She could only control herself.

Ming Shu’s gaze flashed past the two people. She said thoughtfully to the pretty lady, “Have you finished hitting her? If not, I can keep watch for you.”

The pretty lady: “…” Huh?

“Boss Xu.” The secretary hurriedly grabbed Ming Shu. “The opening ceremony is starting. We should not be late.”

Why must her boss interfere with the business between two artists?

The pretty lady was stunned. Because of the secretary’s hint, she left the restroom in a hurry.

Xia Lian covered her face with her hand and asked, “Xia Lian, how did I provoke you?”

Xia Lian was from a rich family too and she was around the same age as Ming Shu. Hence, it was all right for her to call Ming Shu’s name directly.

“Have you forgotten about what happened before?” Ming Shu raised her eyebrows. “I don’t mind helping you to remember everything. You made me lose face. Do you recall?”

That time, something happened to Xu Bei’s dress and her dress slipped in front of everyone.

Although nothing serious was exposed, the headlines still made up many rumors about her and she was on trending for many days.

Xia Lian’s heart skipped a beat. How did she know about this? That happened so long ago…

“What does that have to do with me?” Xia Lian gave an innocent face. “I didn’t touch your dress. You have no evidence. Don’t accuse me.”

Ming Shu shrugged and smiled as she walked toward her. “You can deny it, but I will still think it’s you.”

“…”

Does she know about it or not?

Xia Lian was not sure.

“What are you doing…” Xia Lian frowned and stepped back.

Ming Shu gave an eye-smile. “Beating you.”

There’s no one here. It’s a good chance to hit… I mean, to gain Hatred Points. I can’t let go of this chance.

“Xu Bei, are you crazy? Don’t come over. If you come over, I’ll scream.” Xia Lian continued stepping back. She didn’t want to keep retreating, but for some reason, she felt guilty when she saw Ming Shu.

The restroom had just been cleaned. The floor was a bit wet. Xia Lian slipped and fell heavily onto the ground. Her posture was really indecent.
