483: Chapter 457 Blending 483: Chapter 457 Blending Xiao Sen flashed a slight smile and said, “Manager Liu, you also know this matter is very risky, and regarding the last ti with the dolls, if I hadn’t been adjusting them on the spot, and doing the filming myself, you probably wouldn’t have been able to copy it so comprehensively!”
Manager Liu curled his lip and said, “Let’s keep separate things separate.
The past is the past, and our accounts are settled.
Let’s talk about today’s matter!”
Xiao Sen let out a cold laugh, downed the wine in his glass in one gulp, and said, “Alright, then let’s talk about today’s matter!
The reason you couldn’t contact before, Manager Liu, was because I went abroad with them!”
“Where to?” Manager Liu beca imdiately interested.
He had to understand the movents of Shi Qing’er and Liu Hun to report back to Ma Lin.
“The capital of Czech, Prague!” Xiao Sen replied succinctly.
“What were you doing there?” Manager Liu was genuinely puzzled as he asked.
If Xiao Sen hadn’t ntioned it, he wouldn’t have known there was a place called Prague in the world.
“Shooting a music video!” Xiao Sen told Manager Liu with a smile, knowing it was ti to set his price.
“A music video?
Why go to that godforsaken place?” Manager Liu asked Xiao Sen.
“Godforsaken place?!
Hehe,” Xiao Sen couldn’t help but laugh, as even for the sake of profit he wanted to claim that Shi Qing’er’s music video was the best he had ever seen, “Manager Liu, you probably have never seen the European royal family, let alone…
such a shocking music video and a completely new musical style!” Xiao Sen intentionally left his statent vague—he had to play his cards close to his chest to get a good price.
Manager Liu looked at Xiao Sen and said, “You talk it up so much, it’s not just to jack up the price, is it?”
“Hmph!” Xiao Sen scoffed disdainfully and poured another glass of wine down his throat, “I guarantee you’ll regret it if you don’t buy it, and moreover!
Shi Qing’er will definitely beco a top-line actress with this album!
Once your heavily promoted Cheng Yuxuan is overshadowed, she’ll be worthless.
Tell , Manager Liu, can’t you see which is more, the money spent on Cheng Yuxuan or the money given to ?”
Manager Liu glanced at Xiao Sen and said, “Cut the crap, did you bring the sample?”
Xiao Sen slowly took out the sample he had brought and placed it on the table, “I’ve had it ready!”
Manager Liu was about to take it but was stopped by Xiao Sen, who said, “Manager Liu, where is your sincerity?”
Manager Liu imdiately took out a checkbook and said, “Sa price as last ti.”
“Wait!
Manager Liu, this is not the price from last ti!
It’s got to double!” Xiao Sen boldly declared.
“Double?!
Xiao Sen, aren’t you being a bit too greedy?” Manager Liu did not want to spend too much money, as that ant less kickback for him.
“Manager Liu, do you think they went to that place so far away to shoot sothing ordinary?” Xiao Sen pointed at the sample with his finger, “It’s worth the price!”
After only a mont’s hesitation, Manager Liu finally nodded, wrote down the figure of three hundred thousand on the check, and tore it off for Xiao Sen.
After getting the money, Xiao Sen happily flicked the check and handed the sample over to Manager Liu.
“There won’t be any problems, right?” Manager Liu, having received the sample, asked Xiao Sen.
“Manager Liu, rest assured, we still have to continue cooperating in the future, why would I cut off my own revenue?” Xiao Sen poured a glass of wine for both himself and Manager Liu.
“That’s best!” Manager Liu said, and without paying attention to the glass of wine Xiao Sen had passed to him, he stood up and left the private room.
“Hmph!
What an ingrate!” After saying so, Xiao Sen downed his glass of wine in one gulp.
After finishing, he imdiately pressed the call button and shouted, “Boss, send over two pretty girls!
The sexy ones!”
anwhile, at this very mont, in an inconspicuous van outside the nightclub, Zhong Xiao stared at the tracker on the computer screen.
This device had been installed by Lin Xiaoxiang on the cake boxes handed out to team mbers.
Everyone who went to Prague was being closely watched by people dispatched by Zhong Xiao.
Today, everyone was at ho except for Xiao Sen, who ca to the nightclub alone, making Zhong Xiao especially vigilant and he personally kept watch.
“Brother Zhong, the person who was in a private room with Xiao Sen has co out!” The voice of a minion ca through the phone.
“Keep an eye on him!
We must find out his identity clearly!” Zhong Xiao instructed the minion.
More than an hour passed.
Zhong Xiao had been keeping watch at the door of the nightclub and still had not seen a sign of Xiao Sen.
That’s when his phone rang, “Speak!”
“Brother Zhong, that guy has left the nightclub and drove straight to Ma Lin’s villa!” The minion reported from the other end.
“Click,” Zhong Xiao hung up the phone abruptly.
The result was now clear.
He turned to the person next to him and said, “Monkey, call Hei Lang, tell him I’m going to take care of soone at his place.
Make sure he keeps it quiet and doesn’t make a fuss.”
“Right away!” Monkey said as he took out his phone.
“Make your move!” Once Zhong Xiao said it, he imdiately led his n out of the car and directly charged towards the nightclub.
The bouncer, spotting a group charging aggressively towards him, imdiately stepped forward and blocked their way, “What are you up to?”
“Scram!
I won’t say it a second ti!” Zhong Xiao’s cold glare would send shivers down anyone’s spine.
Just seconds after Zhong Xiao spoke, a man hurried out from inside.
“Slap!” A hand struck the security guard blocking Zhong Xiao’s path on the head, “Get lost!
No manners!” After delivering the slap, the man turned to Zhong Xiao with a smile, “Brother Zhong, please, do as you wish!
Do as you wish!”
Zhong Xiao imdiately led his crew, including Monkey and the others, into the nightclub, arriving at Room 303, where he kicked down the door to the private room.
“Who…
who are you?!
What do you want?!” Xiao Sen was on top of a hostess, pants off, ready to get down to business when suddenly this group of people barged in.
“You!
You two, get out!” Zhong Xiao pointed at the two hostesses and ordered.
They quickly covered their private parts and ran out of the room.
“Click!” The door to the private room was shut imdiately.
“Don’t…
Don’t ss around!
Stop it!” Xiao Sen said in a panic, trying to stand up, only to be t with darkness as his cheek felt a burst of excruciating pain.
“Smack!” Zhong Xiao’s foot connected with Xiao Sen’s face, “A traitor!”
Xiao Sen spat out two teeth on the spot and before he fully realized what was happening, he knew he had blown his cover, and he quickly kneeled down, begging Zhong Xiao for rcy.
“Take him!” Zhong Xiao instructed Monkey and the others.
Monkey imdiately ca over, put a sack over Xiao Sen’s head, and dragged him out of the nightclub.
The next afternoon, Liu Hun slept in and as he entered the living room, he saw Lin Xiaoxiang smiling and bringing food to the coffee table, “Dinner is ready!” After speaking, she thoughtfully arranged the utensils.
Liu Hun watched Lin Xiaoxiang kneeling to prepare the tableware and felt a certain allure, and although Lin Xiaoxiang was no national beauty, her capability inside and outside the ho, gentle and virtuous nature was a breath of fresh air compared to the sharp-tongued won around him.
“Where’s Qing’er?” Liu Hun asked as he sat next to the coffee table.
“She’s still sleeping, she’s been exhausted for days, rushing our album release.” Lin Xiaoxiang explained, “She always complains a lot, but she’s never given up or shirked her responsibilities.
Also, she’s young and can be a bit temperantal…”
Liu Hun, listening to Lin Xiaoxiang speak of Shi Qing’er with a mix of indulgence and affection, couldn’t help but feel like Lin Xiaoxiang was truly the lady of the house.
Lin Xiaoxiang spread jam on a slice of bread and handed it to Liu Hun, “Let show you so news!” She said, turning on the TV.
“… Entertainnt at its best, a sneak peek of new songs!
Today, we bring you a very special and unique song!
What’s so special about it?
It is rumored that the singer is the hot new talent we’ve been discussing, Shi Qing’er!
Has her new album actually been leaked?
Let’s have a quick listen!”
“… Gossip Noon Headlines!
What is today’s top story?
It’s about the popular newcor Shi Qing’er!
You might say, hey, isn’t she the one set to compete with Cheng Yuxuan?
Why haven’t we heard anything about her lately?
Where has she gone?
What has she done?
And how is her new album?
Let’s watch this MV segnt and you’ll know!”
“… Entertainnt Watch is flipping amazing!
Today, we have an MV for everyone to see, rumored, only rumored, that this could be!
Possibly said to be!
The latest music video of the hot new artist, Shi Qing’er.
Wow!
My god!
Isn’t she competing with Cheng Yuxuan?
Hasn’t she disappeared from the dia for a while?
Is it really her?
Let’s use our ears to judge!”
“…”
Almost all entertainnt dia outlets began to broadcast the sample tape that Xiao Sen had sold to Manager Liu, but the protagonist in the MV was blurred out with mosaics, so it was impossible to tell if it was really Shi Qing’er.
However, judging by the voice, there was no doubt it was her.
“Buzz buzz buzz… buzz buzz buzz…” Liu Hun was reviewing entertainnt reports when his work phone shook, startling him when he saw over a hundred missed calls, all from various dia outlets, big and small, from well-known and unknown reporters alike.
Lin Xiaoxiang looked over and smiled, “I’ve already set my work phone to silent mode.”
“Ding ding ding… ding ding ding…” As soon as Liu Hun turned off his work phone, his personal phone started to ring.
Seeing it was Zhong Xiao calling, he picked up, “Zhong Xiao, what’s going on?”
“Boss Liu, the job is done.
He’s spilled everything; we’ve got all the information we need,” Zhong Xiao reported on the other end of the call.
“Okay, I know.
Just handle the rest accordingly,” Liu Hun said before hanging up.
Then he turned to Lin Xiaoxiang, “Let these dia people fret a bit more; in a few days, everything will co to light.”
A few days later, Jinxin dia spent a generous sum to book the Royal Theater for the grand release of the two super rookies’ new albums.
Early on, journalists from various dia organizations flocked to the venue, setting up their caras in anticipation of the protagonists’ arrival.
“Guess who will win today’s showdown?
I’m more optimistic about Cheng Yuxuan.
Think about the promotional blitz by Yinyue Group – if you don’t know the na Cheng Yuxuan, you’d be embarrassed to admit you own a TV!”
“Today is just the release.
To really determine who will co out on top, we have to look at the market and the critics’ reactions.
Even though Cheng Yuxuan has been hyped a lot and Yinyue Group has gone all out to boost her, have you noticed sothing?
All the dia are more interested in Shi Qing’er, and every ti they ntion Cheng Yuxuan, Shi Qing’er is brought up too.
So, it’s clear… Liu Hun is no ordinary man.”
“Talking about this is pointless.
Shi Qing’er’s MV has been fully exposed, and everyone has heard it already; where’s the novelty in that?
Cheng Yuxuan’s MV, on the other hand, is what’s truly on everyone’s mind.
They’ve only heard a snippet, not the full song.
So, the market’s expectations are definitely higher for Cheng Yuxuan!”
“…”
