Chapter 187: Who Can Handle This?

The night gradually deepened; Wang Shisong finished his cigar and returned inside.

That young internet celebrity saw that he was in a bad mood and, for a moment, did not know how to serve him.

She did not dare to throw any tantrums in front of Wang Shisong; she understood his personality.

Strictly speaking, she had delivered herself to his door tonight to be pushed around, not to push him around.

The young internet celebrity could roughly guess that it probably had to do with Luo Mo.

The grievances between Luo Mo and Pineapple had been making a huge stir over the past half year; how could she not know?

Looking at Wang Shisong, who had an ordinary appearance, was full of middle-aged greasiness, and did not understand at all how to cherish the fairer sex, Luo Mo's handsome face surfaced in her heart.

Young and Promising, talented and wealthy, and radiating charm...

The young internet celebrity began to think: "How charming must a woman be to be able to stay by Luo Mo's side?"

She knew very well in her heart that in their circle of "money-burning machines" who were good at socializing, there were simply too many women who had ideas about Luo Mo.

The night gradually deepened, and everything returned to the right track.

Just like that, the young internet celebrity spent a tense night here.

…….

…….

The next day, Wang Shisong first went to the company for a meeting, then headed in the afternoon to a high-end private club not open to the public to host a banquet for Xu Chujing's manager, Li Jie.

Li Jie was a woman who looked very capable; she wore a women's suit and had a neat short haircut, yet she did not feel very androgynous, only making people feel that she was someone who did things very efficiently.

She had full lips similar to Ning Dan's, which made Wang Shisong think of Ning Dan the moment he saw her, making his heart feel even more stifled.

Honestly, he still quite liked Ning Dan; he liked that unique flavor of hers.

"Sit, what would you like to drink?" Wang Shisong asked. "A little red wine?"

Li Jie smiled and waved her hand, saying, "No thanks, President Wang, I'm allergic to alcohol; I'll have some fruit juice."

Wang Shisong glanced at her and did not say much.

There was a rumor in the circle that before Li Jie made Xu Chujing famous, it was said she could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk and had no rival at the drinking table.

After Xu Chujing was crowned queen and became a massive hit, Li Jie suddenly fell ill and started being allergic to alcohol.

This was a very competent and capable manager with great ability.

For Xu Chujing to develop into what she was today, she deserved at least half the credit.

After this meal had been going on for about twenty minutes, Wang Shisong finally began to steer the topic toward the matter of the Guest Singer.

Most of the earlier conversation was about film matters; President Wang gave Li Jie many hints and stated multiple times that he would lend a helping hand to Cat Demon, which could be said to be full of sincerity.

Li Jie put on a troubled expression and said, "Chujing refused quite decisively on her end; she wouldn't tell me the specific reason either. But as for me, I feel that cooperation is possible."

"How about this, I'll try to work on her mindset over these next two days."

"At the same time, President Wang, please take the trouble to prepare the song well. You know that Chujing has very high Requirements for songs; she is someone very persistent about music. If the song is good enough, perhaps she will be more likely to change her mind."

Wang Shisong nodded and said, "Understood, I understand that."

A top-tier diva like Xu Chujing naturally selected songs with great care.

If a song could not catch her eye, everything else was off the table.

Although she had been shifting to the film and television industry and crossing over into various fields these past few years, singing was her old profession after all, and this position could not be lost.

After finishing the business, they began to chat during the meal.

Li Jie was very good at chatting, causing President Wang's hearty laughter to ring out from the private room from time to time.

Later on, Wang Shisong did not know if it was because of the alcohol or because Li Jie did indeed have a bit of charm, but he suddenly felt that this Li Jie could actually be treated as a "budget replacement" for Ning Dan.

These full lips were still somewhat alluring.

When the meal ended, he personally escorted Li Jie all the way to the parking lot.

After Li Jie's car drove away, he sat in the back seat of his own Range Rover and instructed the driver to head home.

He opened the window to let in the night breeze to sober up.

At this moment, his phone rang.

Wang Shisong picked it up and looked; he didn't expect it to be a WeChat message from Li Jie, who had just left.

"President Wang, there seem to be paparazzi nearby; please be careful."

Wang Shisong looked at the WeChat message, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Paparazzi found this place too?" Wang Shisong was speechless.

People in the entertainment industry liked to find hidden places not open to the public to gather and liked to hide away.

Paparazzi, on the other hand, liked to play detective, finding these locations one after another.

Then, they would specifically stake out these places, waiting like rabbits for the people in the entertainment industry to show up.

Wang Shisong was a bit unfazed by this, only feeling that there was no need to come to this place again in the future to avoid any trouble.

Next time, it would be better to just invite this manager, Li Jie, to dine at home.

On the other side, Li Jie first made a call to the paparazzi, then made another call to Xu Chujing, saying, "Done."

"Thank you for your hard work, Li Jie," the diva said over the phone.

Li Jie smiled and said, "It wasn't hard work; the food here actually tastes pretty good, it's just that the person I was eating with was wrong, which caused me to have a poor appetite."

"Got it, I'll treat you to a meal tomorrow," Xu Chujing also laughed, having understood Li Jie's subtext.

Who would have thought Li Jie would immediately say, "I definitely want a meal, but I don't want you to treat me."

"Hmm? Then who do you want to treat you?" Diva Xu asked.

"What do you think?" Li Jie chuckled and said, "Of course it's Luo Mo!"

……..

……..

At this moment, Luo Mo was at his home in Xicheng, sitting in front of the computer with Jiang Ningxi and Shen Yinuo, looking at the rumors and gossip on the internet.

The two girl group members flanked him on the left and right, forming a scene of a man caught between two women.

While this could not exactly be called the "blessings of a man enjoying the company of two wives," having two beautiful girls with vastly different styles by one's side always makes one feel pleasant.

Yet Luo Mo said with a hint of disdain: "Are you two wearing different perfumes? Being sandwiched between you, the scents are a bit mixed up."

Shen Yinuo immediately retorted unhappily: "Hey! What are you talking about! It's natural body scent! Beauties all have natural body scent, do you even understand that?"

This made Luo Mo's expression even more disdainful; do you think you are the Fragrant Concubine from *My Fair Princess*?

Can you just spout nonsense because you have a big chest?

If you keep spouting nonsense, this master is going to come over and sniff!

Jiang Ningxi glanced at the two of them; this Leg Fairy was currently sitting with her legs pressed together, seamless.

Her body leaned slightly forward, her chest resting against her forearms, and her two forearms resting against her thighs, watching the computer on the coffee table in this posture.

"Luo Mo, should we also have our publicity team release some news related to the Guest Singer?" Jiang Ningxi asked.

"No need." Luo Mo waved his hand: "Jing likely has her own arrangements and ideas."

Because the public relations team at Pineapple had not made any denials, today's online public opinion not only failed to die down but instead grew more intense.

Luo Mo did not know who had released these "baiting" messages, but he felt it probably wasn't Pineapple itself.

This tactic hasn't been popular in recent years, and the public has started to feel extremely repulsed by it.

Once a tactic is used for too long, everyone's rebellious emotions start to rise.

He had a bold guess in his heart, but he couldn't think of a reason.

"Run Jie is always 'moistening' (supporting) me, I can understand that."

He and Ning Dan had always cooperated very happily; they were close partners, and he had been of great help to Ning Dan, and he himself was of great value.

"But why is she also trying so hard to 'moisten' (support) me?" Luo Mo couldn't figure it out.

Xu Chujing was already at the peak of the music scene, the very tip of the pyramid among female singers, and she was not like that Ordinary Heavenly King, Zhao Xueqin.

Luo Mo, the genius songwriter in the music scene, could only add flowers to her brocade, allowing her to continue being a top Heavenly Queen without going downhill.

But her career focus in recent years was clearly not in the music scene.

In terms of film and television, Luo Mo had not yet fully revealed his energy and value.

Although he couldn't think of a reason, but........

——"So satisfying."

What a move of "moistening things silently"!

And his intuition told him that the Heavenly Queen must still have a follow-up move.

Sure enough, at 10:30 in the evening, when Luo Mo began to urge Shen Yinuo and Jiang Ningxi to go back to their own homes, all major online platforms were instantly ignited again.

Because paparazzi released photos, capturing Xu Chujing's Golden Agent, Li Jie, having dinner with Pineapple's President Wang.

Doesn't this confirm the previous news?

Pineapple is really inviting Heavenly Queen Xu!

In an instant, the internet exploded.

This is great; after a day, Pineapple's vague public relations team didn't even need to issue a denial.

The company stays silent, the paparazzi provide the hammer.

Netizens were instantly discussing it, finding it unbelievable.

"Sure enough, the more fake the gossip looks, the more likely it is to be true!"

"My god! Jing's agent went to dinner, could they really be collaborating?"

"No way, didn't it look like she had a pretty good relationship with Luo Mo before? They helped promote each other's new songs and new movies; doesn't this mean she's standing on the opposite side of Luo Mo?"

"It's the entertainment industry, after all; it's all plastic relationships."

"Heh, who knows, maybe Luo Mo has some issues; otherwise, with Heavenly Queen Xu's personality, she shouldn't be stepping on this former trainee."

"Damn it, when *Creating Idols* was a hit, I even wrote fanfiction about them! Female mentor and trainee, ahhhhh! My dream is shattered!"

"Hmm? Want to Watch! And secretly ask: is there any smut?"

"Want to Watch +1!"

Looking at these messy comments, Shen Yinuo and Jiang Ningxi couldn't help but become nervous.

"Luo Mo, is Jing really going to defect to Pineapple?"

"Impossible, impossible, this is not Jing's style."

Luo Mo did not answer, but lowered his eyelids slightly and said in his heart: "The follow-up move is here."

He didn't expect Heavenly Queen Xu's efficiency to be so high, and to take things to such an extent.

Now, the more everyone looks forward to the duet between Zhao Xueqin and Xu Chujing, the more disappointed they will be when the time comes.

The bigger this storm gets, the deeper the support Xu Chujing will bring him in all aspects when she firmly stands by his side!

At the same time, it seems to have delayed Pineapple's time, making them wait for the Heavenly Queen's answer.

"Now it depends on whether President Wang of Pineapple can resist the temptation of public opinion, and whether he will order the people below to stir up trouble and use this matter to strike at me," Luo Mo thought.

It's probably hard for President Wang to endure, right?

——This Heavenly Queen and the team behind her are indeed very capable.

"So want to possess it." A terrifying and incomparably greedy voice flashed through his heart.
