Shi He stared at their backs in a daze. After a moment, he returned to his senses and looked down at Shi Man with a bitter smile. “That person is my senior. He was once a popular Best Actor. Now, he has opened his own entertainment company and signed many promising artists.”
Shi Man raised her eyebrows and leaned close to his ear curiously. “Is Lin Yue under him too?”
“Not yet, but she’ll be under him soon.” Shi He sighed and said, “The contract Lin Yue signed with her current management company is about to expire. Once the contract ends, Lin Yue will be signed under him.”
Shi Man nodded in understanding. She did not think that this was a complex problem. She smiled and suggested, “Brother, can’t you open an entertainment company too?”
“Me?” Shi He was so shocked that he subconsciously raised his voice. Sensing that everyone was looking over, he lowered his voice awkwardly and said, “1 don’t know how to. 1 only know how to act, unlike Big Brother, Second Brother, and you. 1 don’t know anything about running a company.”
“What’s so difficult about that? Open a company for fun. We’ll help you. Anyway, our family has plenty of money.” Shi Man shrugged her shoulders indifferently.
Shi He wanted to say that he couldn’t open a company casually even if he had money, but when he thought of Lin Yue, his heart couldn’t help but waver.
He had secretly asked around. Lin Yue’s contract with the current company was about to end in a year. If his company could develop in this year and obtain more resources, Lin Yue might really choose him!
Shi Man saw the light in his eyes and knew that he was tempted. She continued, “Brother, think about it. You can’t film for the rest of your life, right? If you want to earn money faster, you have to convert the resources in your hands into capital in the end. This is not only for Lin Yue, but also the best way for you.”
Shi He took her words seriously and only came back to his senses after a while. He retorted with a red face, “Who said I’m doing it for her… I suddenly feel that opening an entertainment company is not bad. I’m doing it for myself!” “Alright, alright, alright. Brother, have you made up your mind?” Shi Man stared at him with a smile.
She did not expect Third Brother, who had always looked calm, to instantly become as awkward and childish as Fourth Brother when facing his feelings.
However, Shi Man quite liked pure and cute people like them. She hated people like Yi Zheng, who was scheming and always deliberately made things difficult for her!
Shi He calmed down and thought about this matter. In the end, he nodded solemnly and said, “I’ve decided. I want to open a company of my own. Sister, you’re right. It’s not rare to open a company in the entertainment industry. 1 should try to do it.”
“That’s right.” Shi Man held her brother’s arm in satisfaction and walked into the event location with him.
Shi He thought that after he made this decision, his heart would feel as heavy as a huge rock. He did not expect to feel relieved now, as if he already knew what to do subconsciously. He just lacked someone to persuade him to do it.
Shi He rubbed his sister’s head gratefully and glanced at Lin Yue, who was chatting happily with another man. He subconsciously clenched his fists.
The ball in the entertainment industry was a business fair. During the toasts, they promised business that started at a few million dollars.
Even Shi He was not exempt.
He had introduced Shi Man to many famous figures in the entertainment industry, but strangely, Shi Man actually saw Jiang Sheng at this ball.
The memory of how this person pestered her in the hospital and was frightened away by Yi Zheng was still vivid in her mind. Shi Man did not intend to pay attention to him, but he refused to give up and took the initiative to walk over with a wine glass.
Shi He had seen Jiang Sheng before and knew how dirty he was. He tapped on the woman’s shoulder and immediately stood in front of his sister warily. He said coldly, “What are you doing?”
“Movie King Shi is too careful. I just want to have a drink with CEO Shi.” As Jiang Sheng and Shi He spoke, they kept stealing glances at Shi Man, who was covered tightly. His intentions were very obvious.
Shi He refused on behalf of Shi Man without thinking. “No need. My sister isn’t drinking tonight. Leave.”
“Movie King Shi, I really don’t mean anything else. I just saw an acquaintance at the ball and wanted to chat. There are so many people watching. Are you sure you want to be so rude?” Jiang Sheng straightened his back and stared in Shi Man’s direction confidently.
Shi He turned his head slightly and saw that the commotion had indeed attracted the attention of many people. His expression immediately darkened as he threatened in an unfriendly tone, “You must have hooked up with some sugar mummy to be able to attend the ball, right? Aren’t you afraid that your sugar mummy will be angry and abandon you?”
Jiang Sheng spread his hands indifferently and said, “1 know that Movie King Shi doesn’t like me, but I’m really not afraid.”
He waved to the other side. An ordinary-looking but luxuriously dressed woman immediately twisted her strong waist and walked over slowly, leaning into his arms.. “Baby, what did you call me for?”
