“Do you mind showing your face when you do a live telecast?” asked the operations manager. After all, some live telecasters were not keen on showing their faces.
After the manager finished his sentence, he looked at Mu Sheng’s flawless exquisite face and sighed in his heart. She was already such a hit without showing her face. The sky was the limit if she was willing to show it.
Mu Sheng shook her head. “I don’t mind.”
Since she was not doing anything criminal, there was no reason for her to hide.
“Good.” The manager could not contain his joy. “Then when will you start? I suggest finding the perfect opportunity to do it..”
“Next Saturday.” Mu Sheng recalled the event she had to attend next week and decided to show her face during the event.
“So soon? Why?” The manager really wanted to keep the audience in suspense for a while before surprising them.
Mu Sheng glanced at the manager quizzically. “No reason.”
She just wanted to do it at the same time. Since she had an assignment that day, she decided to settle all Cat Live matters on the same day.
“Sure thing! If you prefer!” Mu Sheng was the platform’s money-spinner now, so they did not dare to disagree. It was better to just do as she preferred.
Tang Tiantian had already finished her third cup of tea outside the conference room. She looked at the meeting room door quizzically as she wondered why Mu Sheng was taking so long. Should she go in and check on Mu Sheng?
Just as she got to the door, the conference room door opened and a bunch of people flocked out with Mu Sheng happily.
Tang Tiantian was a little confused. The last time she came to Cat Live with Jiang Tian, these people were simply arrogant, but they were grinning from ear to ear today.
The management team walked Mu Sheng to the ground floor and happily waited for Mu Sheng to get into her car before she left. Even after Mu Sheng’s car had driven off, they continued to stand and watch from a distance.
“What happened?” Tang Tiantian glanced into the rearview mirror quizzically as though she had seen a ghost. “Were you in there talking about work?”
“Uh huh,” acknowledged Mu Sheng. She automatically reached her hand out for a piece of candy but realized it was Tang Tiantian and not Li Hanchen.
“Why are they so enthusiastic?” Tang Tiantian could not wrap her mind around it. Was it not just an ordinary event? Why was Cat Live’s management team so happy?
Since there was a confidentiality clause in the contract, Mu Sheng did not go into detail.
Meanwhile, at Talent Scout Entertainment.
“Yingying, it’s no use for you to make a scene. We have already done everything we could. Mu Sheng is just a rookie actress. How can you expect us to keep throwing money at her?”
Li Wei looked at Ruan Yingying powerlessly when Ruan Yingying came to check on where they were at about ruining Mu Sheng.
They had done their best to ruin Mu Sheng’s reputation.
However, people kept helping Mu Sheng to avoid trouble. Despite the money and effort the company had invested, nothing worked as planned. As time progressed, the company did not want to go on making things hard for Mu Sheng.
“Mr. Li, then what about me? Mu Sheng is just a supporting actress, but she is still in the limelight as though she is the female lead,” said Ruan Yingying angrily. She had no idea why Mu Sheng’s acting skills would suddenly improve in leaps and bounds.
“Well, it can’t be helped. Whatever it is, the company can’t do anything about it. The company has to work on expanding its business as well. How could it spend so much effort on a small-time actress like Mu Sheng?” Li Wei was giving her the final orders.
Ruan Yingying knew that it was impossible for her to squeeze anything out of the company anymore.
“Got it.” Ruan Yingying stood up angrily and walked right out of the door.
Li Wei frowned as he remained behind.
From the looks of it, the company had been too nice to Ruan Yingying. Now, she was getting too demanding. She did not even have basic courtesy. Did she really think she was a superstar?
Just as Ruan Yingying walked out furiously, her talent agent shouted for her.
“Yingying, can you come over for a minute? Tiger Shark is holding an event next week and you have to attend it.”
“A live telecast platform?” Ruan Yingying frowned slightly.
Live telecasters were online celebrities and there was a huge gulf between them, so Ruan Yingying automatically felt this event was beneath her.
“That’s right.” Liu Hui told Ruan Yingying about the details of the event. “Don’t look down on Tiger Shark just yet. They have the Li family backing them. If the Li family likes you, your career will definitely skyrocket.”
Ruan Yingying’s eyes gleamed the moment she heard about the Li family. “Enough. I understand. Next Saturday, right? I will be there.”
Imperceptible despise rose in Liu Hui’s eyes. “I will notify you when the time comes. Just remember that you have work to do.”
Ruan Yingying nodded. Her eyes gleamed as she thought about the crown prince of the Li family, Li Ming. She had seen him at a ball last year.
She wondered if Li Ming would be at the event next week since Tiger Shark belonged to the Li family.
Li An kept looking at the door out of fear he would miss it if Mu Sheng came back when he was playing a new game on the couch.
The moment Li An caught sight of Mu Sheng out of the corner of his eye, he quickly turned off the game and went over to Mu Sheng, “Sis-in-Law!”
Mu Sheng glanced at Li An. He was looking at her happily with a glass of warm water in his hand. “Sis-in-Law, have a drink. I will get you your slippers.”
“Did you get into trouble at school?” This was the only reason Mu Sheng could come up with for Li An’s enthusiasm.
Li An went quiet for a while. He placed the slippers in front of Mu Sheng. “Nope. I just want to be nice to you since you are so good to me.”
Mu Sheng put on the slippers, entered the house, and had a drink.
“Sis-in-Law, are you tired? Shall I give you a massage?” asked Li An as he rolled up his sleeves and started to massage Mu Sheng’s shoulders ingratiatingly.
Li Hanchen did not come home at night, so only Mu Sheng and Li An were in the villa.
Li An did his utmost to make Mu Sheng happy.
He helped to bring her chopsticks and slippers, and he would have helped Mu Sheng walk if he could.

After dinner, Li An kept following beside her. Mu Sheng glanced at him. “Tell me. What happened?”
Li An took out a box from behind him. “Sis-in-Law, this is for you.”
Mu Sheng opened the box to see a thick garish gold bracelet sitting inside it.
Li An scratched his head. “The salesgirl recommended it. She said gold wouldn’t lose value easily.”
Mu Sheng looked at how thick the bracelet was. “How could you have money to buy this?”
“I spent all the pocket money I saved up to buy this. Sis-in-Law, do you like it?” Li An looked at Mu Sheng worriedly.
Mu Sheng looked at the gold bracelet. It was so heavy that she would probably sprain her hand while wearing it, but she still nodded forcibly. “Why did you give this to me?”
“Sis-in-Law, am I a good little brother? Are other little brothers out there as good as me?”

Mu Sheng did not disagree. After all, Li An was a rather good kid and was nice to her all the time. “Uh huh.”
