Chapter 24

Xingchen Entertainment has been poached by Guangyao Media again.

The person being poached was Shen Mingyou.

Shen Mingyou finished shooting the H brand advertisement on the last day. When she left the studio, Geng Siqi, the boss of Guangyao Media, was waiting for her.

Geng Siqi, the boss of Guangyao Media, shares the same surname with Geng Feng. They are from the same family.

Guangyao Media was originally founded by Geng Feng’s parents. After their accident, the young Geng Feng couldn’t manage the company, so it was taken over by his uncle. When Geng Feng grew up, Guangyao Media had become larger, but the real owner was his uncle. After his uncle passed away, Geng Siqi, his uncle’s son, took over.

Geng Siqi knew that Geng Feng wanted to take back Guangyao Media, so he tried to suppress Geng Feng and Xingchen Entertainment. Whenever an artist from Xingchen Entertainment became popular, Geng Siqi would poach them, leaving Geng Feng with fewer resources.

If it weren’t for Shen Mingyou’s sudden rise in popularity, Xingchen Entertainment might have closed down by now.

“Ms. Shen, how about this contract of mine? Is it sincere?” Geng Siqi asked as he sat across from Shen Mingyou.

Shen Mingyou is very beautiful. Even among many beautiful women in the entertainment industry, Geng Siqi was impressed when he saw her in person.

Seeing that Shen Mingyou didn’t respond, Geng Siqi continued, “Ms. Shen, Xingchen Entertainment is just a small company. It can’t support a star as promising as you. If you stay there, you’ll waste your talent.”

“At Guangyao Media, we can make you famous. Here is a plan not only for you but also for your daughter Nian Nian. We can train her to be a star too. She might become well-known when she grows up.”

Geng Siqi knew that Shen Mingyou was known as a wealthy lady. While rich people are not short of money, they still seek fame. For Shen Mingyou, who is trying to make a comeback, fame is likely her goal.

Geng Siqi was confident he could poach Shen Mingyou and help Guangyao Media, which was facing challenges from Lingyu Capital. Lingyu Capital, an external group, had started targeting Guangyao Media, acquiring similar companies and causing problems for Guangyao Media’s projects. Geng Siqi hoped to use Shen Mingyou to counteract this and benefit his company.

“Ms. Shen, you can think about it carefully and then give me an answer. I…”

“Don’t think about it.” Shen Mingyou interrupted him.

Geng Siqi was delighted, thinking that Shen Mingyou agreed to his conditions.

But the next moment Shen Mingyou said: “You are so petty. You want to sign me with such a small amount of money? You’re thinking too much.”

Geng Siqi’s heart sank. The agency contract he offered Shen Mingyou was already the best in the industry. Even so, Shen Mingyou still despised it?

“Then how much do you think is appropriate?” Geng Siqi asked.

“Not much, just a small goal I set for myself.” Shen Mingyou raised a finger, “One hundred million, how about that? Can Boss Geng afford it?”

Geng Siqi was so angry that he slammed the table and stood up: “Shen Mingyou, are you kidding me?”

A signing fee of 100 million is outrageous. Why doesn’t she just go and rob a bank?

Shen Mingyou shrugged: “It seems that Boss Geng’s vision is still too narrow.”

“Wait until Mr. Geng can afford a 100 million yuan signing fee, then come to me.” Shen Mingyou stood up, “Oh, by the way, you also want to sign my daughter and make her a famous child star, right? But my child has more potential than me, so the signing fee should be doubled. It’s not much, just 1 billion yuan, plus my 100 million yuan, that’s 1.1 billion yuan. Wait until Mr. Geng can afford 1.1 billion yuan, then come to me to talk.”

After Shen Mingyou left, Geng Siqi sat in the coffee shop, watching Shen Mingyou’s back as she left, his eyes filled with darkness.

That evening, an anonymous netizen submitted an article to a gossip blogger, @’Love to Chat Gossip’ bot. This blogger is known for sharing celebrity gossip online. From small details like a celebrity’s pimple to big news, this blogger has attracted millions of fans over the years.

Many netizens submit gossip to this blogger, who then shares it and fans discuss it in the comments. Small gossip stays in a small circle, but big gossip can become a major topic online. As a result, this blogger has become very popular by revealing celebrities’ private lives.

That night, another fan submitted an article.

Early in the morning, as people were getting ready for work, a trending search quietly climbed up and soon went viral online.

@’Love to Chat Gossip’t: [Today, Baguajun brings you another piece of gossip that is both fresh and very interesting.

The wealthy actress who has recently gained popularity from her variety show about taking care of her children has been in the news a lot. But with this popularity, every move of the star gets noticed. Stars should improve their art and behavior, or they might fall from grace.

Below is a video of this actress’s car accident. I won’t say much about it. Please judge for yourself! ］

To be among the first to comment, fans started posting before even watching the video.

“Hey, is this gossip about Shen Mingyou? Did she have a car accident?”

“Front row, can’t wait to see more gossip!”

“First, I haven’t watched the video yet. Did Shen Mingyou really have an accident?”

“Shen Mingyou had an accident? I was about to become her fan.”

“If it’s Shen Mingyou, be cautious, because I heard she’s great at surprising people!”

When the video was released, netizens who loved gossip couldn’t wait to click on it and saw that it was a segment from the variety show “Super Mom” which had just aired. The video included the same pictures and effects as the show, suggesting it was leaked before the official airing.

In the video, Gu Aifei appeared.

Gu Aifei bent down slightly, looked at Nian Nian kindly, and said, “Remember, sister Zi Ai is allergic to mangoes. Don’t give her mangoes, okay?”

Nian Nian nodded in agreement.

But the scene changed, and Nian Nian was seen feeding Zhou Ziai a mango. After she had fed more than half, Gu Aifei saw this and rushed over in panic, but Zhou Ziai had already had a severe allergic reaction and had trouble breathing.

The children nearby were scared as doctors rushed to help Zhou Ziai.

Luckily, the child was saved in the end. Gu Aifei didn’t blame Nian Nian but comforted her, saying: “Nian Nian, Auntie doesn’t blame you.”

However, Shen Mingyou jumped in and said, “Why are you blaming her? It’s not right for Aunt Gu to blame children when something happens.”

Gu Aifei seemed very angry about this and said, “Nian Nian gave Zi Ai mangoes, which caused the allergy. As a mother, is it wrong for me to worry about my child?”

Shen Mingyou looked down on Gu Aifei, acting as if it was all Gu Aifei’s fault.

Finally, Gu Aifei sighed, clearly not wanting to argue further, and said to Nian Nian: “Nian Nian, I’m sorry. It was Auntie’s fault. Auntie shouldn’t have blamed you.”

After Gu Aifei apologized, Shen Mingyou still didn’t let up, saying aggressively: “A three-and-a-half-year-old child is not sensible, and neither are adults!”

Upon hearing Shen Mingyou’s words, Gu Aifei looked both aggrieved and restrained.

The video ends here.

After watching the entire video, netizens were instantly outraged.

As a mother, Gu Aifei reminded others in advance that her daughter was allergic to mangoes. Despite this, Jiang Niannian fed Gu Aifei’s daughter mangoes, causing her to have an allergic reaction. Although Gu Aifei was generous and didn’t argue with the child, Jiang Niannian’s mother, Shen Mingyou, refused to apologize and even forced Gu Aifei to apologize.

Why is Shen Mingyou being so unreasonable?

She was clearly at fault but remained aggressive. Isn’t this too much?

[Is this how Shen Mingyou behaves in private? It’s so detestable.]

[Being rich doesn’t mean you can act so superior.]
