Chapter 154 Calculation with Brains
Lynn drove Su Qi home. As the car stopped at the door, Su Qi unbuckled his seatbelt, and Lynn's phone suddenly rang.
Lynn smiled meaningfully: "It was a call from the director of the dating reality show organizer."
Su Qi paused in her action of opening the door and sat in the passenger seat to listen.
"Lynn, we just received news that the organizers have asked Ms. Shu Yu to replace Ms. Zheng Xin in the dating reality show."
"Since Miss Shu Yu is a newcomer and not as established as Miss Su, after discussion, the spot will still be given to Miss Su."
"If you have time, come and sign the contract tomorrow morning."
Lynn replied excitedly, "Understood, we'll come to sign the contract as soon as possible."
After hanging up the phone, Lynn happily hugged Su Qi's neck: "Great! The duck that was about to be eaten didn't fly away!"
“However,” Lynn suddenly said with some unease, “wasn’t that Shu Yu recently exposed for not being a good manager, instead currying favor with the Zheng family and using connections to return to Qingshan? How come she’s suddenly an artist?”
"Something's not right!" Lynn exclaimed after a moment of alertness. "Did the talent scouts still sign her to the company?"
Su Qi sneered, opened the blog on his phone, and handed the entry to Lynn.
"Qingshan's agent, Shu Yu, has confirmed the termination of her contract and signed with Hemiao Film and Television as an artist."
Lynn covered her mouth, startled: "Why did you sign for seedlings?"
She fiddled with the cigarette butt in her hand, without lighting it: "First of all, Shu Yu is Zheng Ran's subordinate, so I suppose signing with Tianhai is something that hasn't been settled privately yet."
"As for me, I brought this matter to the forefront. Zheng Ran saw that Shu Yu had ulterior motives and wanted to sign with my company. It was hard for him not to be afraid that Shu Yu would turn against me. Therefore, he had no choice but to sign Shu Yu first."
"In addition, I put pressure on the talent scout team, so they didn't dare to confront me before Chairman Cui returned. Therefore, they had no choice but to refuse to sign Shu Yu."
"So now, if Shu Yu wants to switch careers to become an artist, he only has one option: to cling to the Zheng family."
Lynn clapped her hands: "Brilliant!"
"However, how did you predict that Shu Yu would replace Zheng Xin on the variety show, thus avoiding competing with you for a spot?"
Su Qi crossed her arms: "Because, do you remember when I bought Shu Yu a trending topic that surpassed Zheng Xin's?"
"That's the key point. Zheng Xin has a bad record, while Shu Yu's bad record is insignificant, and she's even more popular than Zheng Xin. Zheng Ran is a businessman who values profit, so he naturally saw the business opportunity in Shu Yu."
"It is precisely this point that the production team of the dating show was able to discover, which makes Zheng Xin's chances of participating in the show even more slim."
Lynn clapped her hands in amazement: "My God, Su Qi, you are really like a completely different person now."
Su Qi raised an eyebrow. Rather than saying she had undergone a complete transformation, it would be more accurate to say that she was never the same kind of person as the original owner of this body.
"What Zheng Ran needs are female celebrities who can be his guns and fight for him. Zheng Xin has lost some of her value to him. At this moment, he urgently needs to find a new gun."
"And Shu Yu's signal that she wanted to become an artist was exactly what attracted him."
Su Qi smiled unconsciously. It was all her calculation, and coincidentally, everyone had fallen into her trap.
The next morning, Lin En came to pick up Su Qi to sign a contract at the Love Hotel, where she happened to run into Shen Chaohuai coming out from next door.
Two groups of artists, each with their own teams, completely blocked the road leading to the coastal hillside villas.
The lights focused on the two of them, and Shen Chaohuai looked at her meaningfully and smiled: "Not bad, you handled things very well last night."
Su Qi pretended to say, "I don't understand what you mean."
"is it?"
Shen Chaohuai hesitated for a moment, then quickly approached Su Qi, gently put his arm around her waist, and whispered in her ear, "If you hadn't personally intervened, I would have had Xie Tian sign her to New Classics Media, so at least she wouldn't be competing with you for resources."
She deliberately placed her hands on his chest and gently tugged at his tie: "Um, thank you for your kindness."
She tried to push him away, but he didn't move, and her expression instantly darkened.
"Come with me." His Adam's apple bobbed slightly.
"what?"
"Since it's all the same announcement, why not go sign the contract together on the way?"
Su Qi looked up and met his frivolous gaze: "No."
"Shen Chaohuai," she whispered, "our status is different now than before. With so many cameras and so many people watching, don't you think we have enough scandals already?"
However, he leaned closer and closer to her: "We just haven't made it public yet, but everyone assumes we're together."
"Let's go."
Before Su Qi could react, he pulled her into the car. Lin En stood there stunned, not daring to stop him, and could only say, "Then... I'll drive and follow Mr. Shen?"
Shen Chaohuai gave a faint "hmm".
The lights kept flashing behind the two of them. When Su Qi heard the system's announcement, he felt like the sky was about to fall.
#Shen Chaohuai and Su Qi travel together to sign a contract; the two share sweet interactions.
[Sigh, still trying to keep their relationship secret? This is practically proof, isn't it?]
Neither party has responded. If it's not that kind of relationship, isn't this a bit too ambiguous?
"Upstairs, just come and eat at the table."
After reading the comments, Su Qi sat quietly in the back seat, rubbing her temples.
Shen Chaohuai sat next to her, and the driver didn't dare to look at the two of them in the mirror while driving, so as not to be distracted.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" he asked gently.
The driver felt like he was seeing a ghost; he had never seen such a gentle and mild-mannered young master Shen.
She swallowed and buttoned up her clothes; turning her head to look straight ahead, she could see his bare collarbone and full, muscular physique.
Since becoming a celebrity, Shen Chaohuai's outfits have become increasingly revealing, often showing off his legs or muscles.
Su Qi was used to the presence of male celebrities in the industry, but she had never been as flustered as she was now.
Li Yancheng was dressed like that too. He usually ate a lot and exercised to build muscle, so he was quite strong. But when she looked at Li Yancheng, she thought he was just a lump of meat swaying in front of her.
Needless to say, Gu Xing was tall and thin, and he trained hard to maintain his physique. He was also a ballet dancer. She only thought Gu Xing was pretentious.
Shen Chaohuai kindly asked, "Why are you suddenly silent? I don't have any cameras in my car."
He smiled and reached out to stroke her forehead, her bangs damp with nervousness.
Why are you so nervous? Why do I get nervous just by looking at you?
"Doesn't this outfit look good on me?" Shen Chaohuai quickly knew what she was thinking and deliberately said it directly.
Su Qi touched her chest, feeling a jarring sensation, and her brain seemed to be losing blood, making her feel dizzy.
"It's nothing, it's just the first time I've seen you dressed like this."
Shen Chaohuai stopped teasing her and stopped talking at the right time, then used a smile to cover up his inner panic.
Unable to pull up his V-neck shirt, he could only grab a black wool coat from the hanger in front of him and put it on.
Even in formal attire, his charisma still shines through.
He possesses a gentle and refined demeanor, like that of a noble young gentleman.
Her light brown, medium-length hair slightly obscured her narrow eyes, and she unconsciously brushed the stray hairs behind his ear.
Feeling the coldness of her fingertips, Shen Chaohuai paused for a moment, then finally took her hand in his and put it in his purse.
He chuckled and said, "Don't catch a cold."
Upon arriving at the familiar hotel, the two pushed open the door and went inside, only to find that Shu Yu was already there.
Shu Yu looked at the two of them: "Sigh, you've finally arrived. The teacher who signed me said that neither of you came. Why was I in such a hurry? You made me get scolded. Well, it's really a bit unfair."
