“Zhiqin?” Su Bei called out again.

Xu Zhiqin came back to her senses and smiled blankly. “President Su.”

“If no one is sitting here, I’ll take the seat,” Su Bei said.

“Yes, there’s no one here. Please take a seat.” Xu Zhiqin forced a smile.

Su Bei sat down. “Brother Yue Ze has something going on these few days, but Mu Kai is going to shoot an advertisement. He needs you to accompany him.”

“Okay, I’ll take care of it,” Xu Zhiqin said.

After eating lunch in silence, Su Bei returned to the office and suddenly remembered that in the popular drama that was playing earlier, Pan Hongsen played the male lead. He previously had a scandal with Xu Zhiqin.

Strictly speaking, it was not a scandal. It was Pan Hongsen’s girlfriend who publicly accused Xu Zhiqin of trying to seduce Pan Hongsen. At that time, this matter was a hot topic and Xu Zhiqin was also scolded badly.

No wonder she looked bitter when she watched the popular drama just now. Su Bei regretted her rudeness just now.

When she was there earlier, she completely forgot about that incident.

She calmed down and dealt with her work. Yue Ze handed some contracts to Su Bei.

At the moment, Mu Kai had received a lot of invitations, but some of them were competitions, while others had scheduling conflicts.

Su Bei said, “We can only bear the pain and refuse these opportunities. We can’t accept everything.”

“That’s what I think too. Some of them have been passed to other artistes in the company, but some can only be rejected completely.” Yue Ze adjusted his glasses.

Su Bei handed the documents back to him.

Yue Ze said, “I’m currently inspecting new artistes. Let Zhiqin accompany Mu Kai for this commercial shoot.”

“Yes, I’ve already told Zhiqin.”

…

In the following days, Su Bei held a few more art exhibitions.

It had to be said that Qian Gouhua was indeed very capable.

He didn’t do much publicity work using Su Bei’s name, nor did he use many methods to hype her up. Even so, Su Bei’s reputation as a painter was already soaring.

In a short period of time, she was hailed by the media as a promising young artist.

However, in Qian Gouhua’s opinion, all of this was because of Su Bei’s painting skills. It was precisely because of her own ability that she could go so far.

Her aura, which had never been contaminated by the cruel world of business, forged the foundation for her to become a top master in the future.

…

Xu Zhiqin accompanied Mu Kai for the commercial shoot.

This commercial was for a watch brand in the country. They had taken a fancy to Mu Kai’s elite style and planned to expand into a more mature market. They invited him to shoot a commercial and endorse their brand.

Mu Kai was already familiar with the process of shooting commercials. He went with Xu Zhiqin and waited for the shoot to begin.

However, Xu Zhiqin and Mu Kai had already been waiting for an hour.

Xu Zhiqin was a little anxious. Mu Kai still had other work to do. If things were delayed here, it would definitely affect things on the other side.

Hence, she went forward several times to urge the person in charge of the shoot to hurry up and start filming.

The other party replied, “There’s nothing I can do. You’ll have to wait a little longer. Brother Hongsen is still filming.”

Pan Hongsen was the former spokesperson for this brand. This time, the brand was focusing on two markets. Pan Hongsen was hired to be the spokesperson to represent the brand’s youthful image.

Mu Kai was the spokesperson for the brand’s other market that targeted mature elites.

Pan Hongsen had been filming until now, which ended up making them go behind schedule.

Hearing his name, Xu Zhiqin’s face turned abnormally red.

The hidden pain in her heart quickly rose again.

“Then how long do we have to wait? Can we finish filming before two in the afternoon? Mu Kai still has an event to attend. If we delay too much, we can’t afford to wait here.” Xu Zhiqin’s tone could not help but become a little stiff.

The other party also had some objections. “This isn’t something I can make a decision on. Since you’re anxious, you can choose not to film it.”

Artistes and managers had always been the ones to beg the brands. All of them were humble and would flatter the sponsors.

Xu Zhiqin also realized that her tone was a little cold. Before she could explain, the other party had already entered the filming studio.

Inside, Pan Hongsen was filming. He was currently a popular young actor, his drama was currently on air. Naturally, he was a little arrogant.

Apart from his manager, his girlfriend, Yali, was also with him today.

Although the person in charge of the filming crew was dissatisfied with Xu Zhiqin’s attitude, he still rushed Pan Hongsen dutifully. “Hongsen, Mu Kai is still waiting to shoot outside. His manager said that he’s busy in the afternoon and asked us to hurry up.”

“Which manager dares to rush you?” Pan Hongsen asked casually.

“Xu Zhiqin,” the person in charge said.

Pan Hongsen’s assistant immediately mocked, “Mu Kai’s manager was originally Yue Ze. This time, Xu Zhiqin suddenly came with him. I’m afraid she found out that Brother Hongsen was filming here, which is why she came. Is this woman here to seduce Brother Hongsen again?”

Hearing Xu Zhiqin’s name, Pan Hongsen was indeed a little unhappy.

Yali also frowned and thought to herself, ‘Xu Zhiqin is really shameless. She followed us here again.’

She said casually, “Maybe she didn’t know we were here. Don’t talk about it casually.”

Everyone around nodded.

However, Yali was the one who publicly accused Xu Zhiqin of seducing Pan Hongsen back then.

“Hongsen, take the photos first. I’m going out for a drink. I’ll also make a call,” Yali said.

She walked out and called her and Pan Hongsen’s manager. “Xu Zhiqin brought one of her artistes to shoot another part of this commercial. I don’t think this is good for Hongsen’s image. Everyone knows that Mu Kai is an elite. Does this decision mean that Hongsen isn’t elite enough? If Mu Kai can shoot it, why can’t Hongsen shoot it?”

“I’ll talk to the brand and see if we can fight for a better chance.” The manager felt that Yali’s words made sense. In fact, the brand had suggested that Pan Hongsen shoot both parts, but the company felt that the price was not appropriate, so they rejected the offer.

“Then I’ll wait to hear from you,” Yali said.

The corners of her lips curled up. This time, she was not targeting Mu Kai but Xu Zhiqin.

If things went her way, Xu Zhiqin would’ve lost an opportunity for Mu Kai. Would Nirvana Entertainment let her have it easy?

Xu Zhiqin was already anxious from waiting outside. It was almost noon, and no one had come to film the commercial that was supposed to be filmed at nine o’clock.

“Mu Kai, wait a moment. I’ll ask again.” Xu Zhiqin rushed over.

She walked around and finally found Manager Liu of Tianya Watch.

Manager Liu walked out with a regretful expression and said, “Miss Xu, I’m sorry. Tianya plans to terminate our contract with Mu Kai this time. Please leave. We’ll send the termination letter to your company when the time comes.”

Xu Zhiqin’s mind went blank!

Terminate the contract?

“Why?” she asked in surprise. “Did we do something wrong?”
