Chapter 69: Intimidation
The moment people saw this online, they felt it was impossible.
In their opinion, female celebrities were loaded, so even a mere online influencer dripped in designer goods.
How could she end up wearing a $800 fake?
Someone uploaded a picture of Mu Sheng’s outfit today accompanied with a description of the coat.
[This is Louis’ best design. There is only one piece in the world. Word has it that the CEO of Golden Group has reserved it. Do you think it is possible for Mu Sheng to be wearing the real deal?]
[Has Mu Sheng given up all hope? How could she walk around dressed in a fake? Is she already that broke? I feel a little bad for her.]
[Although it is fake, the cut is incredible. From the looks of it, it does not look thick at all. In fact, it looks gorgeous. I really want to ask Mu Sheng where she bought it. I really want one too.]
[Has it dawned on you that it is not about the cut? Mu Sheng has such a good figure that she made the coat look great.]
[That really hurt my feelings. To be honest, Mu Sheng is gorgeous and looks elegant even in roadside fashion. I am impressed.]
Mu Sheng arrived at the conference room in the company and sat down in front of a row of management. They glanced at Mu Sheng when she arrived. “Hi. Have a seat.”
Mu Sheng pulled out a chair and sat down. “How are you going to compensate me?”
“If you hand over the audio file, we will compensate you.” The deputy CEO, Li Wei, scrutinized Mu Sheng and felt stunned. Why did he have a feeling Mu Sheng was even more gorgeous than before?
“Show me how you propose to compensate me.” Mu Sheng seemed calm. She did not seem intimidated by all the management sitting across from her. Confidence radiated from within her as she looked at the management team.
Li Wei handed Mu Sheng the proposal for compensation. Mu Sheng glanced at it briefly before closing it. “If this is all the sincerity you have, we can forget about talking.”
Li Wei scoffed, “We are doing you a favor here. Do you really think you are some bigshot? Are you sure about going against Talent Scout Entertainment? Do you think we have a problem taking care of you?”
Mu Sheng glanced at the proud Li Wei. She took a pen and wrote something on the piece of paper before pushing it in front of him.
“Do you think you can…” Before Li Wei finished his sentence, he lowered his head and saw 3215656.23 written on the piece of paper.
Li Wei’s cocky expression instantly altered. He flipped the piece of paper over with beads of sweat trickling down his forehead as he looked at Mu Sheng in shock and awe.
Why would Mu Sheng have these numbers? Other than him, only the bank representative at the Swiss bank knew of them. However, the bank representative had signed a non-disclosure agreement, so it was impossible for him to disclose them to Mu Sheng.
Everyone was at a loss when they noticed something amiss with Li Wei. Mu Sheng continued to sit calmly in her chair.
She happened to see Li Wei’s fund transfer records with a foreign bank when she hacked into the company network, so she took note of it. In reality, she had no idea what the numbers meant.
Judging from Li Wei’s reaction, it was probably the right decision for her to remember them.
Li Wei scrutinized Mu Sheng’s face while trying to figure her out, but Mu Sheng was simply too composed. The calmer Mu Sheng was, the more anxious Li Wei became.
After a protracted silence, Li Wei collapsed. “Why don’t you go back for now so that we can discuss your compensation further?”
“Sure thing.” Mu Sheng stood up and left the conference room.
The management team looked at each other. Had they not decided to intimidate Mu Sheng and refuse to compensate her? Why did Li Wei suddenly have a change of heart?
A lot of people stood outside the conference room to look as they waited for Mu Sheng to make a fool of herself.
The meeting room door suddenly opened, and Mu Sheng walked out. It was impossible to read her face.
Ruan Yingying walked over in her stilettos. “Sheng, are you all done? Why don’t I give you a lift? Did your chauffeur send you here today?”
Everyone covered their mouths and furtively laughed. No one with a chauffeur would go around driving Toyota worth only hundreds of millions of dollars.
Mu Sheng halted in her steps and glanced at Ruan Yingying. She was taller than Ruan Yingying to begin with. Now that she was looking down at Ruan Yingying, it felt as though she was looking at a mere ant. Ruan Yingying automatically felt intimidated.
“You’re so noisy,” Mu Sheng uttered in contempt.
“Sheng…” Ruan Yingying suppressed her anger. “I just wanted to give you a lift.”
“No thanks.” Mu Sheng placed her hands in her coat pocket. She looked so cold that even her eyes felt chilly, and she seemed like an icy beauty.
Ruan Yingying wanted to say more, but Mu Sheng had already left.
Ruan Yingying gritted her teeth from behind as she watched Mu Sheng leave.
Ruang Yingying was puzzled by Mu Sheng’s composure. In the past, Mu Sheng would have made trouble after getting provoked.
“Yingying, why bother talking to her? She doesn’t even appreciate it. You are simply too kind. No one else can be bothered with her.”
“That’s right, Yingying. She is going to get kicked out of the company soon, so don’t get upset with her.”
Ruan Yingying smiled with a vulnerable look on her face. “It’s fine. After all, we used to be in the same girl band. I just want to help her. Thanks a lot. Didn’t you want me to listen to your latest music? Why don’t we do it now?”
“Okay!”
Everyone walked off with Ruan Yingying and flattered her like a princess.
Mu Sheng headed out of the company solitarily and seemed proud and aloof.
It was a stark contrast.
After Mu Sheng walked out of the company building, a black car nearby horned at her.
A pleasant round face reached out the car window. “Miss Mu, over here!”
Mu Sheng walked over to see Jiang Tian. He drove them to the company.
His office was located in an office building a slight distance from the city center, and it was slightly over 100 square meters.
Since he did not have any other celebrities, the two of them had no work on their hands, so the office looked particularly quiet.
“Welcome to the place where dreams are fulfilled.” Jiang Tian spread his arms out and smiled as he welcomed Mu Sheng into the office.
“Let’s sign the contract.” Mu Sheng glanced around before getting straight to the point.
“Sure thing! Here is the contract.” Jiang Tian snapped his fingers before taking a document. “Have a look at it first.”
Mu Sheng finished reading the contract in 15 minutes and picked up the pen to sign her name on it. Jiang Tian signed the document as well and placed his thumbprint on it.
Jiang Tian smiled after the contract was signed. “It is my honor to work with you. You are going to be a hit.”
“My pleasure.”
After Mu Sheng left the company, Tang Tiantian finally broke her silence and said softly, “Miss Mu is such a beauty. I feel as though we have conned her into joining us.”
The moment Jiang Tian heard this, he rapped her head angrily. “How could you say that? What have I told you?”
Tang Tiantian touched her head as she dictated mechanically, “We are on our way to becoming the top talent agency globally. One day, we will become the biggest talent agency in the world.”
“Exactly. You are the CEO’s assistant. How could you be so negative?”
Tang Tiantian chuckled inwardly and felt she was a victim of working for some MLM company. She really wanted to report this to the authorities so that they could lock up Jiang Tian.
