Chapter 197
A beautiful and generous appearance, curved body and sexy and bright red lips.
When Ming Yu turned to see this woman, he was surprised for a moment before remembering her name. He smiled and said, "Hello, Li Yuerong.
They were simple words without anything superfluous. Ming Yu's attitude caused Li Yuerong to be stricken for a moment. She reluctantly smiled and said, "This time I got an invitation. I didn't expect to see you here. The remember the last time I saw you one or two years ago. You really have changed a lot."
Ming Yu asked, "Is that so?"
The youth's polite but somewhat aloof attitude caused Li Yuerong to feel disturbed. But she gathered up her courage, "It is like this. Ming Yu, we had a little friendship before. Recently, Nidelan has developed a new collection of skincare products and I am one of several first-tier models competing to be the spokesperson. You have previously endorsed the Nidelan Smoke fragrances. Therefore, I would like to ask you to give me the contact details of the person in charge of Nidelan. I really appreciate your kindness. If you can help me, I think…"
“Miss Li, I remember that we don't seem to know each other very well. It seems like… we only crossed paths once?"
The youth's indifference caused Li Yuerong to be stunned. She saw Ming Yu's lips curve upwards in a pure and harmless smile, but his light-coloured eyes were cold and icy.
“It seems that I went to the company two years ago and you met Brother Zhao and I?" Ming Yu paused as he recalled it. "At that time, you didn't speak t me. You just said hello to Brother Zhao."
Ming Yu gave a low smile. "The colour of your lipstick at that time was quite good."
Directly opening this topic didn't give her room to take one more step. Ming Yu's extremely cold attitude caused Li Yuerong's expression to change and she stomped away, not even saying a word of goodbye to Ming Yu.
—She was too angry.
After all, Ming Xiaoyu didn't give a senior any face and directly sent her away with the simple words of 'not very familiar.'
Ming Yu looked at Li Yuerong's back and slowly shook his head, chuckling.
In fact, even if Ming Xiaoyu's memory was very good and he was motivated to learn all the models in Muse, he still wouldn't remember Li Yuerong's name.
However, this Li Yuerong was the first female model of Muse that Ming Yu had seen when he first entered this world. The female model was only a second-tier model at the time but she was very arrogant. Her attitude towards Zhao Rui and Ming Yu was very disdainfully, leaving a slight impression on Ming Yu.
In the past year, Li Yuerong became a bit more popular through advertisements and entered the ranks of the first-tier models. She was a Muse model and in Muse, any first-tier model could get an invitation to the party (yes, this was a bright back door). Therefore, Ming Yu wasn't very surprised that she would appear here.
Ming Xiaoyu had encountered many people after become famous.
Some were small models that the former owner of the body had a bit of understanding with. Some were peers that Ming Yu had met in the fashion shows. These people hoped that Ming Yu could help them by saying a few words for them. Maybe they would be able to get better resources.
The higher a person went, the more things they had to face.
Ming Xiaoyu was never a saint. Despite these people promising him some compensation, he seldom agreed. These people had a one-sided relationship with him. In this cruel industry, if they wanted to climb up then they should climb up at will.
Ming Yu also didn't like to have a clique so he was more disdainful towards this type of thing.
After Li Yuerong left, the award for Best New Model of the Year arrived. The two winners were recently famous male and female new models. It was impossible for Ming Yu to win because he had actually debuted for five years.
At the end of the evening, Ming Yu looked around and found Xi Ze talking to some design masters. Xi Ze seemed to want to come to him but couldn't get away. Xu Rongrong and Luo Cheng were chatting happily to the designers on the Rosalind side.
As for He Chaoman?
He didn't know what corner she ran off to but she was probably eating something ?＿?
This situation left no pressure on Ming Yu so he went straight to another area and found a tall man standing in the crowd.
Ming Yu held a glass of wine as he said with a smile, "Cheng Su, it has been a long time.'
Cheng Su was shocked by the words and he turned around in a stiff manner. His face was dark and he refused to speak.
Ming Yu was still smiling calmly. "Why, do you not know me?"
These strange words caused Cheng Su to look Ming Yu up and down suspiciously. Ming Yu was smiling and really seemed to be greeting him. Cheng Su replied with some suspicion, "I know you. How can I not know you? The newest Yizhi spokesperson, Ming Yu!"
His voice was so loud that a few people around them looked over with surprise.
In the face of such ironic words, Ming Yu smiled helplessly. "Why don't you seem very impressed?"
Cheng Su had been gritting his teeth the moment he saw this youth.
25 million!
This was his savings for many years! He even borrowed money from someone else!
It was all due to that damn Jiang Kaiyang! When he recalled it now, Cheng Su was so angry that he could vomit blood!
Cheng Su sneered, "Yes, who wouldn't dare remember you? You are Ming Yu, 16th on the world supermodel rankings. The next Xi Ze, the newcomer beyond Luo Cheng, the top star that is expected to break the blockade on the top 10. Isn't all of this you?"
Ming Yu had never heard these names but felt they were very interesting. Thus, his smile became more brilliant.
But to Cheng Su, it was like Ming Yu was ridiculing him! He was laughing at Cheng Su for trying for some many years, using painstaking effort to climb to this position, only to still be inferior to Ming Yu!
Cheng Su's mind instantly replayed Zeng Shu's words from yesterday.
“At your current level, you might be able to get to the bottom of the world supermodel rankings two or three cycles later. This result is good. Keep working hard." Zeng Shu's demeanor was very casual when he said this.
Cheng Su gritted his teeth. "Brother Zeng, how can this result be considered good. Ming Yu is ranked 16th…"
Zeng Shu looked at him with surprise. "Why are you still thinking about Ming Yu? He is a completely different person from you, don't you already know this?"
Zeng Shu's natural look of surprise replayed in Cheng Su's mind. There were many people among the Muse staff, like Shen Xiang, Linda and other editors of the magazine. They all thought—
『 How can you compare to Ming Yu? 』
What? Why couldn't he compare to Ming Yu? Was he less than Ming Yu?
The resentment in his heart accumulated. Cheng Su gritted his teeth and tried to force himself not to care about the youth opposite him. However, he suddenly saw a large smile on Ming Yu's delicate and beautiful face. "Then Cheng Su, do you think you will remember the name 'Ming Yu' for the rest of your life?"
Cheng Su subconsciously replied, "I will never forget you in my life!"
These words were similar to a love confession but Cheng Su's expression was terrible and strange.
Ming Yu didn't care. He just gazed meaningfully at Cheng Su before laughing. "Then his wish has been reached. After tonight, I will no longer have anything to do with you. The future things have nothing to do with him. When entering the venue, no one was allowed to bring any recording equipment. Then you can listen to me now—"
"From now on, you can't move from this place. Even if you try your best, I will completely block you!"
As he left the venue, Cheng Su still had a dull expression and didn't know what was going on.
Obviously, he hated Ming Yu and was disgusted with Ming Yu. How did Ming Yu suddenly want to block him?
Everything changed too fast and Cheng Su couldn't react.
The youth said "Long time no see" only to say "Completely block you" the next second!
It wasn't right! Even if Ming Yu wanted to block him, it wasn't impossible. Ming Yu was just a supermodel. How could he block Cheng Su from being a supermodel? Who did he think he was? A year ago, he was just a small model who wasn't even at the first-tier!
However, a week later, Cheng Su started to truly understand the meaning of the phrase 'completely blocked.'
Chapter 198
Cheng Su's recent jobs were quite a lot. After all, he was a supermodel. After participating in a variety show, he was ready to shoot a next-generation endorsement.
However, the day before Cheng Su was ready, Zeng Shu directly told him that there was no need to go.
Cheng Su was shocked!
This was a good endorsement for men's cigarettes. The current domestic cigarette ads were slightly concealed but the investment publicity costs for high-end cigarettes wasn't low. The cigarettes that Cheng Su was going to endorse was the world's top cigarette brand. Zeng Shu put a lot of effort in to help Cheng Su get this endorsement.
How was the trip suddenly cancelled the day before he was going to meet with the endorsement brand?
Cheng Su went to Zeng Shu to understand the situation. After learning the specific news, he was stunned. A long time passed before he dared asked, "Brother Zeng! We have previously signed an oral agreement. A written agreement was supposed to be signed today. How can they suddenly break the contract?"
Zeng Shu stared meaningfully at Cheng Su for a long time before speaking unknown words, "I also want to know what you did to get the current result." Then he turned away without mercy.
This cigarette endorsement was just the start. For the next month, Cheng Su experienced a terrible empty window period for the first time. No, he had experienced it before. For one year after entering the company, he didn't make any achievements. He was despised by the company until he stole some of Ming Yu's resources and the situation improved.
At that time, Cheng Su thought that even if he robbed some resources from Ming Yu, he would only stagnant for a bit before eventually recovering.
It was unclear if this was intention or unintentional, but after the suppression by Cheng Su, Ming Yu really rose up and was going further and further.
There might be a big gap with the current Ming Yu but Cheng Su believed that he would pull this man down sooner or later! Cheng Su was still trying to collect evidence behind the scenes. As long as he had a bit more time and certainty, he would take down this shameless villain who walked through the back door!
However, things didn't develop as Cheng Su thought.
After the cigarette endorsement fell through, Cheng Su wasn't too concerned. He didn't think this matter was related to Ming Yu. This was the world's top cigarette brand, how could Ming Yu make it do anything?
But! Five days passed!
A luxury brand that originally invited Cheng Su to participate in the catwalk suddenly changed their mind and refused to let him participate. Cheng Su got a bad feeling and he started feeling uneasy.
There was the reality show that intended to invite him only for them to suddenly stop contacting him. Then there was the cover for a first-tier magazine. In half a month, they changed their mind and would no longer use it!
Obviously, Cheng Su had been talking to them just last week and he was ready to shoot! How did it suddenly change?!!!
For a time, apart from the original endorsements and advertisements that Cheng Su already had, all his future contracts and jobs completely disappeared!
Despite a succession of jobs ending inexplicably, Zeng Shu unexpectedly never said a word about it and didn't even give Cheng Su and explanation!
Cheng Su was stupid but even he knew this wasn't normal.
After the endorsement of a small brand was pushed away, Cheng Su went to Zeng Shu's door and knocked. He stood in front of Zeng Shu's desk with a gloomy expression and asked, "Brother Zeng, where did I offend you. Why do you want to do this to me?"
Zeng Shu was sending an email to the head of a French luxury brand when he suddenly heard this. He didn't immediately response, leisurely finishing off his task before turning to look at Cheng Su.
Zeng Shu asked, "You offended me?"
Cheng Su hesitated for a moment before nodding heavily.
Zeng Shu sneered before sighing. "You aren't right but you also aren't wrong. You really did offend me. Cheng Su, you are the most disobedient model that I have ever taken under my hand."
Cheng Su was stunned by this and cried out, "Brother Zeng, I didn't disobey…"
"Cheng Su." The deep and ruthless voice rang out in the quiet office. There was no smile on Zeng Shu's face as he said, "From a long time ago, I told you not to mess with people you shouldn't provoke. You should know your position and know how much you are capable of. Just go your own way and do what you can do with your abilities. Do you think I don't know that you didn't listen to me words?"
Cheng Su's heart tightened at these words and he thought of something.
However, he still tried hard to defend himself. "Brother Zeng, I really didn't do anything. I have listening to you and participated in the endorsements and fashion shows you got for me. I haven't done anything else! You can ask Xiao An. I have been listening…"
Bang!
A hand slammed hard against the table.
Zeng Shu didn't seem to feel any pain in his hand as he sneered. "You are really challenging my patience. Apart from Zhao Rui, I have never seen anyone in the world as dumb as you. You have a bit of ability so I've been tolerating it. But do you think you are in such high demand that you dare to bite at me?"
There were no dirty words in this sentence but the scolded Cheng Su couldn't help turning red.
Zeng Shu didn't have any more patience and directly said, "You should think about what you want to do next. I have no time to talk to you. You can either leave Muse or change agents. In any case, there is only one year left in the contract. I have no way to take you on again."
'I have no way to take you on again.'
These words were like a bolt from the blue, making Cheng Su freeze in place.
After a while, he begged through his dry throat. "Brother Zeng, I know I was really wrong. I shouldn't go against Ming Yu and I won't cause him trouble later. I really didn't commit any cries during this period of time. I didn't even see his face so how could I…"
"Nonsense!" Zeng Shu was extremely angry at this shameless guy and asked sarcastically, "Cheng Su, do you really think I don't know your little tricks? What is the cause of Jiang Kaiyang's recent actions? What is the matter of 20 million yuan? You know what you did in the back! In Muse, we have never poured dirty water on people in our own company. You are the first and only one!"
Cheng Su was shocked when the name 'Jiang Kaiyang' came from Zeng Shu's mouth.
Then he gritted his teeth. "Brother Zeng, I have been with you for three years. Do you really want to suppress me for this little thing? I know I was really wrong so give me a way out. I've been showing a good performance under your hand. Don't you wish to see your people do well?"
Zeng Shu looked slightly surprised by the words before suddenly laughing. "Cheng Su, are you really stupid or just playing the fool? I am suppressing you? Do you think I am the only one who can find out about your actions? Ming Yu can find out! Speaking to me is no use. Go and find Ming Yu!"
Cheng Su woke up completely at these words.
But after leaving Zeng Shu's office, how could Cheng Su really go to find Ming Yu?
Apologize? Beg for mercy?
Cheng Su couldn't do either of them!
At first, he didn't think his recent matters had anything to do with Ming Yu. After thinking about it, he realized instantly. Ming Yu didn't have the ability to kill him right now but Xi Ze did. Xi Ze was Ming Yu's gold master!
Ming Yu was a filthy person who sold his body!
A disgusting homosexual!
Cheng Su apologizing to him?
He could dream!
Cheng Su could only insist that Ming Yu was suppressing him through Xi Ze. He never imagined that at this moment, a man standing on the top floor of the Ji and Ya studio was saying helplessly through the phone, "You don't like him then let me stop him. Why are you going through such trouble?"
Ming Yu, who was on a small overseas island for a photo shoot, sighed heavily. "Xi Ze, this is my own personal matter. Before, I couldn't cope with Karma so you must intervene. It couldn't be helped. But I can solve the problem of Cheng Su myself. You don't have to do it."
"Except I don't think he is too good. "There was a pause before the man smiled. "It is very uncomfortable."
This was the person that his family's mushroom liked before, how could he be cool?
Ming Xiaoyu sighed. "In my current position, blocking him from entering the supermodel rankings is no problem. You don't have to worry about it. If you aren't happy then wait for me to get revenge for my unhappy matters before talking about your problem. Don't you know it is first come, first served?"
Xi Ze raised his eyebrows. "I really don't know. Am I a good citizen who pays attention to first come, first served?"
Ming Yu immediately questioned, "Sir, have you forgotten the third rule of our family?"
Xi Ze, "…What is it?"
Ming Xiaoyu righteously declared, "In the family, as long as the owner says so, his words are an imperial decree!"
It could be said that if Ming Yu wanted to ban Cheng Su from the industry, it took a bit of effort. But assuming that he really wanted to do it, he would only have to spend a bit of effort and he could absolutely do so.
A supermodel who immediately entered the top 50 of the rankings and then became 16th the second time. He was a youth of only 23 years old. Between him and a supermodel he didn't want to enter the rankings, who was more important? Anyone with discerning eyes could see it.
Moreover, Ming Xiaoyu wasn't afraid of revenge. Even if Cheng Su wanted to discredit him, there was no evidence.
As early as half a year ago, Ming Xiaoyu arranged a person to carefully watch Cheng Su. There was a small incident where Cheng Su got Jiang Kaiyang's number through a back door and wasn't discovered by the private investigator. But otherwise, Ming Xiaoyu had a private detective stare closely at Cheng Su.
Cheng Su tried to bribe a private detective to watch Ming Yu in order to find black materials, but was it that simple?
As the saying went, money could make the devil turn millstones! (Anything can be done with money) Cheng Su bribed the detective but Ming Yu paid a larger sum to buy the detective off. Therefore, Cheng Su never got any useful black material.
Everything was ready, he just needed an east wind. (lacking one crucial item)
Cheng Su wasn't a great man printed on the coin. As long as he didn't appear in public for three months, everyone would forget about the existence of this person. This type of ban might seem slow but it would slowly erode Cheng Su's confidence, making him fall step by step to the end.
Ming Yu had long been dissatisfied with this Cheng Su.
For the first time in his two words, he was confronted with a villain who occasionally slapped him in the face and responded to him. Moreover, Ming Yu knew that if he didn't deal with Cheng Su, Cheng Su would always be behind him, secretly staring at him.
An enemy hiding in the dark, it was best to eliminate him as soon as possible. Previously, Ming Yu had no straightforward way to solve the problem because Ming Yu remembered the wish of the original body. Now this wish had been thoroughly realized and Ming Xiaoyu had no scruples.
Since Cheng Su was going to be completely blocked, Ming Yu would stop him from completely changing his fortunes!
