Shiyin narrowed her eyes and asked Meng Ran, “What high-end brand?”

Meng Ran said, “The person in charge of CH’s China region, the young master of the Luo family.”

CH is a world-renowned fashion brand, and the China region has always been managed by the Luo family. Shiyin knew the young master of the Luo family.

It was Luo Yanchuan.

One of Zhou Siyang’s fox friends.

Previously, when Shiyin shot the magazine cover, he and Tang Mingchen, the crown prince of E-family magazine, were both present.

Shiyin’s mind raced, sensing something fishy.

She curled her lips and replied arrogantly, “Then we won’t take it!”

Meng Ran clearly didn’t expect Shiyin to say this. She was stunned and asked incredulously, “We won’t take it?”

“Ah,” Shiyin casually raised her hand to fiddle with her hair, her tone lazy, “Just say I’m not available. If he thinks he can’t cooperate without me showing up, then don’t cooperate. If we lose one CH, there will be more high-end resources than CH coming our way…”

“But,” Meng Ran’s voice revealed a sense of heartache, “They said the endorsement fee is 10 million.” She paused and added, “Per year.”

Shiyin was stunned. She counted the number of zeros with her fingers, and then, in an instant, her eyes turned into money, shining golden.

“How much?” Shiyin asked uncertainly, “Ten million a year?”

Meng Ran excitedly said, “Yes! It’s even higher than the endorsement fees of first-line stars!”

Shiyin could only think, “Damn!”

Is this the legendary powerful protagonist aura of the female lead! She’s struck gold with such dog luck!

In reality, she was just a third-tier star, with no high-end brand resources. The most she could get for other endorsements was 3 million for two years.

Now, 10 million a year!

She… really couldn’t give it up!

“Take it!” Shiyin said to Meng Ran, “Ran, book me a ticket. I’ll go back with you this week!”

“They just want to sign the contract with me in person? No problem! I’ll have dinner with them!”

Meng Ran even felt embarrassed for Shiyin. She agreed and then started laughing, saying, “Shiyin, does your face hurt?”

Shiyin snorted and replied very rationally and objectively, “For a 10 million endorsement fee, it’s worth a little face pain!”

Meng Ran shed tears of maternal comfort: “This child is smart! She’s ambitious! She has a bright future!”

Over the next few days, Shiyin continued to rehearse and practice, and then, on Friday, they started recording their first performance.

Shiyin and Dan Qing’s group were the third to perform. Although Dan Qing’s dancing wasn’t good, she had been practicing hard in private during this time. Shiyin also practiced with her often. Several times, while others were resting, they were still tirelessly practicing in the practice room, over and over again.

Therefore, the song with Shiyin and Dan Qing as the two center positions was performed incredibly well by their group.

Dan Qing, as the main vocalist, had a truly captivating voice. Her tone was unique, and her unique singing style further enriched the song.

Shiyin not only harmonized with Dan Qing but also danced gracefully on stage, following the rhythm and coordinating with the other teammates, perfectly showcasing the youthful and vibrant energy of the girls.

As soon as they finished their performance, the entire audience, including the three judges, stood up and applauded.

Shiyin, lightly panting, stood on stage with a smile, humbly listening to the three judges comment on the other members of the team.

Suddenly, Wu Jiakai mentioned Shiyin.

“Shiyin,” he held the microphone and then raised his eyelids, looking at Shiyin, “Without saying anything else, I want to give you a big thumbs up.”

Shiyin clasped her hands together and bowed to Wu Jiakai.

“I can tell your vocals are amazing. You could easily be the main vocalist of the team, but you didn’t. You chose to harmonize with Dan Qing, and your voice perfectly supports hers. That’s amazing!” Wu Jiakai said seriously to Shiyin, “I have high hopes for you. Keep it up!”

Shiyin was surprised and bowed deeply, expressing her gratitude to Wu Jiakai, “Thank you, teacher. I will work hard!”

“And Dan Qing,” Wu Jiakai turned his gaze to Dan Qing, who was standing next to Shiyin, and commented very sincerely, “When I went to the practice room to check on your progress a few days ago, your dancing wasn’t keeping up. I’m really surprised and happy that you can dance so well with the other members on stage today.”

Dan Qing smiled shyly, glanced at Shiyin, and said to the judge, “Actually, I have to thank Shiyin. She’s been practicing with me, teaching me dance moves and helping me perfect them. I don’t think I could have danced as well as I did on stage today without her help.”

Shiyin smiled and took Dan Qing’s hand. Dan Qing also held hers tightly. The two of them smiled at each other, then bowed to the three judges with the other members and walked off the stage.

Shiyin’s seat was in the back, and Nie Shuangshuang was in the same row as her. Shiyin wanted to return to her seat, so she had to go past Nie Shuangshuang.

Nie Shuangshuang moved her feet back a little, sitting upright, her arms crossed, a slight smile on her lips. She looked ahead, seemingly focusing on the performance of the fourth group.

However, when Shiyin walked past her and stepped forward, Nie Shuangshuang suddenly extended her foot, trying to pretend to accidentally trip Shiyin. However, Shiyin had already seen through her intentions. She stepped on Nie Shuangshuang’s foot, which was wearing a one-strap high-heeled sandal, and then pretended to be startled, stumbling slightly.

Shiyin steadied herself, blinked innocently at Nie Shuangshuang, and apologized to her, “I’m sorry, Sister Shuangshuang. I didn’t know you would suddenly extend your foot. I wasn’t paying attention and stepped on you.”

On the surface, she was apologizing to Nie Shuangshuang, but if you think about it carefully, anyone could hear that she was blaming Nie Shuangshuang for suddenly extending her foot.

There were many other members participating in the program nearby, and Nie Shuangshuang couldn’t say anything. She could only swallow her anger, smile with a slight curve of her lips, and say magnanimously, “It’s okay, it’s good that Shiyin didn’t fall.”

Shiyin smiled harmlessly at Nie Shuangshuang and walked calmly past her, returning to her seat.

Humph! You want to make her look bad, think again!

Shiyin crossed her arms, her expression impassive, but she was secretly delighted.

Because she had outwitted Nie Shuangshuang again, hahaha, it was so satisfying!

The performance for this episode was finally finished that evening. Shiyin packed up her things and returned to the hotel.

Meng Ran had already booked her flight to Jiangcheng the day before, and it was tonight.

Shiyin planned to go back and have dinner with Zhou Chengyuan, and tell him that she wouldn’t be able to accompany him this weekend.

Hee hee hee, she was so happy that she could finally escape his clutches for two days!

However, Shiyin was still naive.

“Go back to sign the contract?” Zhou Chengyuan sat in the leather chair, raising his hand to push up the gold-rimmed glasses he was wearing.

Shiyin nodded repeatedly, “Yes, Ran will accompany me. We’ll have dinner with the other party and sign the contract. Then, 10 million will be in the bag!”

Shiyin was happy as soon as she mentioned the 10 million, “I’ll buy Little Uncle a gift then!”

A smile appeared on the corner of Zhou Chengyuan’s lips. He asked Shiyin to come over, hugged her in his arms, and asked in a low voice, “What time is the flight?”

Because he often liked to hug Shiyin in his arms and let her sit on his lap, Shiyin was now used to it. She frowned, “It’s almost eleven, right? Ran told me to go down and find her at nine.”

Nine.

It was six in the afternoon now.

Three hours.

Enough.

Zhou Chengyuan took off his glasses with one hand. Shiyin said blankly, “Why are you taking off your glasses? I think you look pretty good wearing them, especially cold and abstinent!”

Zhou Chengyuan chuckled and said, “How can I be abstinent in front of Shiyin?”

Shiyin: “???”

What does that have to do with me?

The next second, he leaned in. The man cupped her face, first kissing her cheek, then pressing against her forehead. His eyes looked straight at her, and then he kissed her lips.

Shiyin pushed his chest with her hands, of course, she couldn’t push him away.

It was useless.

Zhou Chengyuan lightly bit her lips and said to Shiyin in a husky voice, “Save some energy, don’t faint later, otherwise, how will you get back to Jiangcheng?”

Shiyin: “…”

What the hell!

This is the study! You dog man!

Zhou Chengyuan had been building up his energy for a week, and he was clearly excited. Shiyin couldn’t fight him, she couldn’t escape, and he was flirting with her again, making her feel something.

In the end, she could only compromise.

After the storm passed, Shiyin, with weak legs, got off him, picked up her clothes from the side, covered her body, and walked to the bathroom, her eyes red and puffy, with a huff.

Zhou Chengyuan’s clothes were messy, but at least they were still on his body.

He sat in the chair, wiping the corner of his mouth with his thumb, looking at the marks he had left on the girl’s back, and smiled subtly.

When Shiyin finished dressing and combing her hair, she came out of the bathroom, and Meng Ran called her.

Shiyin answered, “I’m going down now, yes, see you later.”

After hanging up the phone, Shiyin grabbed her suitcase and walked out without looking back, not even looking at Zhou Chengyuan, let alone talking to him.

Zhou Chengyuan had already showered and changed into a bathrobe. He called out to Shiyin from behind, “Shiyin, give me a call when you land.”

Shiyin said rudely, “No!”

Then, she opened the door and slammed it shut.

She went downstairs, met up with Meng Ran, and got in the car.

As soon as Shiyin sat in the car, Zhou Chengyuan’s WeChat message came through.

Little Uncle: [Be good, I can’t sleep without your message. Would you be so cruel as to watch Little Uncle stay up all night waiting for your message?]

Cruel! How could I be cruel!

Shiyin replied to him in her heart.

Shiyin pretended not to see the message and closed her eyes to sleep.

It took an hour and a half to get from the hotel to the airport, and Shiyin slept the whole way.

Meng Ran thought she was exhausted from filming at the program group these past few days, so she kindly covered Shiyin with a blanket and adjusted her seat to a comfortable angle.

Although filming at the program group was indeed tiring, the reason Shiyin was so tired that she fell asleep as soon as she got in the car was all thanks to the “sick beauty” hidden in the golden house.

When they got to the airport, Meng Ran got the tickets and they went through security shortly after.

As soon as they got on the plane, Shiyin started sleeping again.

She slept all the way until they landed. Meng Ran woke her up, and Shiyin was still in a daze.

She got off the plane, sleepily following Meng Ran. They went outside, got into the car, and closed her eyes to sleep again.

Later, the car stopped, and Meng Ran called out to her, “Shiyin, we’re at your house.”

Shiyin finally opened her eyes, grabbed her suitcase, got out of the car, and went into the house.

It was very late, and Shi Mingyuan and Tang Yulin were already asleep. Shiyin didn’t bother them. She went into her room, lay down on the bed, and started sleeping.

I’m so damn tired!

Every part of my body is sore, qwq.

She thought of the culprit, and Shiyin was so angry. What kind of beast of a man is he? He usually looks cold and abstinent, but why is he so shameless in that aspect!

He forced her to say those things, and then he went back on his word!

He said he would let her go if she begged him, but damn it, I even knelt down and begged his ancestors, and he still wouldn’t let me go.

He even bit her earlobe and said, “Shiyin cried for me, I’m so happy.”

Damn it!

I was crying because of my physiology! Why would I cry for you? Why are you happy? I won’t shed a single tear when you die!

Shiyin thought angrily in her heart.

A few seconds later, the woman who said she wouldn’t contact Zhou Chengyuan took out her phone and sent him two words: [Call]

Didn’t you say you wanted me to give you a call when I landed?

I did.

Shiyin muttered to herself, “If you weren’t sick, I wouldn’t have compromised and sent you a message…”

As she was speaking, Zhou Chengyuan’s call came in.

Shiyin was stunned and immediately rejected it!

He needs to know that wives get angry too!

Wives get angry, and the consequences are serious!

Anyway, she’s not with him now, so she’s not afraid! Not at all!
