Chapter 46: Best Boss of the Year

The official's single line of "drop dead" cleaned up Erbin's trade market considerably.

Nor did the usual novel scene appear, where someone shouts "Do you know who I am? How dare you refuse me? Believe it or not, I'll have you killed!"—the domineering dragon-king routine.

Of course, even if Liu Yue and Shen Mo showed up, there'd be nothing to fear.

The Erbin economy that Yue Mo Media had pulled along gave them plenty of life-preserving cards.

It might be because Madam Wenya and Madam Qin Hao were simply too rich.

When Madam Qin Hao came back, she discussed with Madam Wenya that this overseas trip couldn't just be about their own fun—they had to let their subordinates have fun too.

So, they gave all employees three days off and a month's bonus.

Anyone who needed to work at the company would receive ten times their normal wage on the days they worked.

Madam Wenya thought it over and sent a message to the entertainment company and media company under her banner: they could also choose to come along on the overseas trip, and the company would charter planes and book hotels.

A large portion of the entertainment and media company's streamers, minor celebrities, and trainees each chose to come along on the overseas trip.

This move landed Madam Wenya on the headlines.

She was hailed as the Best Boss of the Year.

Shen Mo was completely baffled by this, not really understanding the reason behind the move.

【What's the point of all this?】

Liu Yue didn't understand either, so the two of them went to ask Madam Wenya and Madam Qin Hao.

Madam Qin Hao's answer was simple and blunt: the first reason is that this old lady has money; the second is that some of the achievements she's made can't be spoken of, but she still wants to share the joy with others, so she chose this method.

Shen Mo chose silence in response, but…

【No, just how much money do you actually have? Can it really withstand you spending like this?】

Liu Yue, for her part, didn't really doubt it.

It was simply that Madam Wenya, Madam Qin Hao, and Grandmother and Grandfather's everyday expenses were too small, while what they earned was too much.

Like a new-type material patent Madam Qin Hao had brought back before—the annual patent fees alone brought in several hundred million.

And that was only one of them.

What's more, given the size of the companies under Madam Wenya's name, the money spent on this trip might just be what was earned in these few days.

People online asked how much Madam Wenya's move would cost.

Someone answered with a single line: not a single cent spent.

The person who said this was the airline proprietress, a still-charming noble lady.

People kept asking why.

The noble lady only answered one line: I'm providing the planes.

Before everyone could even process it, messages started coming in from abroad.

Madam Wenya's buses are on me.

Madam Wenya's hotels are on me.

Madam Wenya's restaurants are on me.

Madam Wenya's expenses are on me.

The last one was sent by Madam Qin Hao.

Shen Mo watched helplessly as Madam Qin Hao sighed and lamented that there were too many competitors.

But then, immediately after, she went on to boast about how awesome she was.

At this, a question arose in Shen Mo's mind.

【Madam Wenya is already this awesome, with such a vast pond—so many domineering CEOs, male and female, are still hung up on her. Some even teach their sons to be filial to Madam Wenya.】

【So why did she back then take money to help Liu Xinhua upset Madam Qin Hao?】

【And when Madam Qin Hao walked up to her, she was willing to go home with Madam Qin Hao?】

【That doesn't add up.】

Shen Mo's inner question also reminded Liu Yue.

Right, that doesn't add up. With Madam Wenya's wealth and connections, Liu Xinhua at most would be just one fish in her pond—he couldn't possibly have called on her services.

One should know that many of Liu Xinhua's friends weren't even as good as Liu Xinhua, and didn't even have the chance to be one of Madam Wenya's fish.

A mystery appeared before Liu Yue.

Swallowing hard, Liu Yue felt she was very close to the truth, but she didn't dare touch it, afraid that solving this mystery would shatter her entire worldview.

Madam Qin Hao was still laughing heartily, and threw an arm around Madam Wenya as she laughed, declaring that she had been awesome back then and decisively took down this Jiangnan Beauty, Madam Wenya.

Madam Wenya smiled and held Madam Qin Hao up, playing along with flattery as Madam Qin Hao spoke.

Seeing this scene, Shen Mo suddenly understood.

【Holy crap, could it be that Madam Wenya was the hunter, and Madam Qin Hao was the prey?】

【If that's the case, doesn't it really prove that saying: the most sophisticated hunters often appear in the form of prey?】

Liu Yue sighed—was she supposed to marvel that her husband had gotten smarter, or that her husband had pierced through the truth?

What was the greatest joy of traveling with the entertainment company?

Shen Mo didn't understand before, but now she did.

It was the joy of King Zhou.

At the airplane entrance, Shen Mo was pinned there by Liu Yue, as one beautiful single female internet celebrity after another gave Shen Mo a finger kiss.

When Shen Mo was the last to board the plane, what greeted her was a sweet "Hello, President Shen."

Shen Mo could already picture the trending searches exploding.

And indeed, that was exactly the case.

The video was uploaded just before the plane took off.

After the plane landed, Shen Mo got online and the headline he saw was titled "Shen Zhou Wang Sui Yang Di Mo."

After all, those single female internet celebrities had gathered together every style: loli, mature lady, young married woman, college girl, sweet girl, domineering, passionate and open, and so on.

Calling Shen Mo a King Zhou is not an exaggeration.

Shen Mo didn't really feel anything about it, because…

【None of them can compare to my wife.】

It has to be said, Liu Yue is the truly perfect one.

That perfection can only be achieved by cultivating one's looks, figure, temperament, image, and speech to a certain degree.

To describe it carefully: anyone with a better figure than Liu Yue definitely can't match her looks; anyone whose looks can compete with hers falls short in temperament; and anyone whose temperament can rival hers may not necessarily match her figure and looks.

After all, the money Liu Yue spends on maintenance is beyond what others can imagine.

Beauty and body treatments twice a week, plus monthly injections to supplement her physical condition — these two together come to two hundred thousand a month, which is the entire annual income of an ordinary family, or even more than many people can earn.

When the plane landed, Shen Mo and Liu Yue saw a Russian noblewoman, one meter seventy-eight tall, walk over, greet Qin Hao, then throw her arms around Lady Weny a and start chattering away in a clatter of Russian.

The reception bus was already waiting outside the airport.

When they reached the hotel, Shen Mo and Liu Yue saw another person — a one-meter-ninety middle-aged handsome guy — warmly greeting Lady Weny a and Ms. Qin Hao, his eyes brimming with irrepressible joy.

Grandpa and Grandma were clearly used to this sort of scene.

The internet celebrities who had come along were very shocked — was their boss's network really this wide?

Before long, a few more stars under San Sheng Entertainment arrived at the hotel. They were abroad to film a drama, and hearing that their boss had come, hurried over to say hello.

It was precisely because the boss was awesome that they got the chance to film abroad.

The front desk informed them that this five-star hotel had been cleared out, and only extremely distinguished guests could check in, so everyone had to be careful what they said.

The internet celebrities all nodded — they would definitely be careful.

The boss brought us out to have fun, we can't embarrass the boss.

Not long after, more stars from San Sheng Entertainment who had a gap in their schedules these past few days arrived, one of them being a top-tier male celebrity.

This made the internet celebrities couldn't help sighing — even celebrities have to compete so hard.
