I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack

Chapter 59

Lu Cheng looked at Lu Hui in surprise.

However, he saw that Lu Hui didn’t hear their conversation and was explaining anxiously to Chu Cichen. “… She’s* the actual shareholder of Z Corporation! My superior! That’s why I can’t order Prof. Z. Don’t make things difficult for me!”

Lu Cheng: “?”

He patted his chest and said to Shen Ruojing, “That scared me. I thought that Lu Hui was referring to you!”

“…”

Shen Ruojing narrowed her eyes and looked at Chu Cichen.

So, it turned out that the person who had been looking for her all this time to purchase the Petri dish technology was him?

Chu Cichen had a strong disposition. “Then you can give me Prof. Z’s phone number. I’ll contact him personally.”

Lu Hui sighed and said, “Mr. Chu, it’s not that I don’t want to give it to you. Even if I give it to you, you won’t be able to get through to the call. Prof. Z has her* phone switched off most of the time. She has retired and can’t be bothered to deal with business matters anymore… How about this, I’ll try to help you contact her.”

Chu Cichen didn’t want to go overboard in pressuring Lu Hui either, so he nodded. “I’ll give you another three days. If you still don’t give me a reply by then, don’t blame me for not holding back.”

People who didn’t know him might think that he was a bandit from his tone… Lu Hui had known since long ago that Chu Cichen wasn’t to be trifled with and wasn’t as simple as he appeared to be on the surface. It could be seen that this person was one to use vicious means judging from Lin Wanru’s outcome.

He complained in his heart but wore a smile on his face and said, “… No problem!”

Chu Cichen nodded. “Goodbye then. We won’t be sending you off.”

Lu Hui: “?”

This seemed to be his running route, right?!

He gritted his teeth and took a glance at Shen Ruojing while smiling, making a phone call gesture. “Miss Shen, I’ll contact you again.”

The moment he said this, the atmosphere became even colder.

Lu Hui shrank back and quickly ran off.

Only then did Shen Ruojing look at Chu Cichen and ask, “Why does your company want to buy the biological Petri dish?”

Chu Cichen didn’t reply to this question.

Lu Cheng’s lips twitched and he asked, “Why are you asking this?”

Shen Ruojing raised her brows. “I am familiar with Lu… With Director Lu. Maybe I can put in a good word for you guys.”

Lu Cheng sneered, “Bro Chen has given Lu Hui plenty of respect to be coming personally. Why would we need you?”

No matter how patient Shen Ruojing was, she was still driven mad from being criticized repeatedly. Moreover, she had never been one with a good temperament. Therefore, she said coldly, “… Since you don’t need it, then forget it.”

After saying that, she turned and walked toward the playground. After calling Chu Yu, she took his hand and headed back home.

Lu Cheng felt exasperated by Shen Ruojing. “This Shen Ruojing doesn’t have any capabilities but is still thinking of acting as the go-between for us? Bro Chen, don’t you think it’s funny?”

Looking at her thin and slender back view, her sluggish walking posture, as well as… the slippers she was wearing… Chu Cichen suddenly said, “Help Little Ye keep Yang Zhiqin. Get Yang Zhiqin to sing Shen Ruojing’s song while you’re at it.”

Lu Cheng: “?”

He was shocked. “Bro Chen, for a songwriter’s first ever written song to be sung by a heavenly queen singer… Why are you treating her this well? There’s nothing to her except her good looks. Don’t be mesmerized by her!”

Chu Cichen gave Lu Cheng a cold look, causing the latter to quickly shut his mouth in fright.

Only then did Chu Cichen say, “My children’s mother isn’t to be humiliated by anyone, including you.”

Lu Cheng’s countenance changed. “… Bro Chen, I was wrong!”

However, he heaved a sigh of relief at the same time.

He thought that his Bro Chen had taken a liking to that woman. Turned out that Chu Cichen was doing this for the children. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

A woman who could stand next to Bro Chen must definitely not just be a parasite. This was because their future path was destined to be filled with challenges, and they had to keep advancing forward.

The next day.

After Shen Qianhui woke up, she brought Jing Zhen out.

After the two of them arrived at the company, someone from the song department brought some songs over. “Director Shen, these are some songs and demos that we urgently contacted some composers to prepare yesterday. As time was too tight, after we went through a selection, only these five pieces were barely passable.

The lady said dejectedly, “A few composers who worked with our company previously were all poached by Brother Li. We weren’t able to contact them at all yesterday. These five songs were all made by unorthodox composers.”

When Shen Qianhui heard this, she knew that these five songs were probably not that good.

She had just entered the entertainment circle and didn’t know the relevant content too well. Therefore, she could only take these songs as a last resort and went straight to Yang Zhiqin’s address. She wanted to personally pay Yang Zhiqin a visit to show her sincerity.

Yang Zhiqin stayed in a high-end district and when Shen Qianhui and Jing Zhen were about to take the lift up, they happened to see Li Zhuo walking over.

When Li Zhuo entered the lift and saw them, he smiled. “Oh, isn’t this our great celebrity Jing Zhen? Why? Are you here to help your grandson convince Yang Zhiqin? It’s a pity that you’re one step too late!”

He squinted his eyes and raised the contract in his hand. “She’s very satisfied with Yun Zhongjun’s song. We had a very nice chat and I’ve come here today to sign the contract with Teacher Yang. It’s useless no matter how hard you guys try!”

Shen Qianhui frowned. “Li Zhuo, let me remind you that there’s still one year left before Yang Zhiqin’s contract with us ends.”

“About this…” Li Zhuo said, “We brought this matter up too, but Teacher Yang said that she could pay the penalty for the contract termination herself. Artists’ penalty fees these days should only be around 10 million…”

“Oh, I forgot. Jing Zhen almost couldn’t pay off his penalty fee. That’s why you guys take 10 million as a sky-high price. But to Teacher Yang, this is just a trivial matter. She doesn’t lack money at all! Unlike you, having been in the entertainment circle for over 20 years but don’t even have 10 million dollars of savings…

“As for Royal Ocean Entertainment, after Teacher Jin and I leave, Yang Zhiqin is probably the only one left who can hold the fort, right? Now, Yang Zhiqin is going to leave with us as well. I wonder which presentable artists Ocean Royal Entertainment has left? The forever king of extras?”

Ding.

The lift arrived.

The three of them exited the lift and knocked on Yang Zhiqin’s door.

Yang Zhiqin came to the door personally. She was a female celebrity around 40 years old and had a great disposition, with a dignified and graceful appearance. When she spoke, her voice sounded very pleasant as well. “You guys came into each other? Come in then. There are some things that we can talk about clearly in person.”

Shen Qianhui and Jing Zhen went in and sat on the sofa.

Yang Zhiqin first looked at Shen Qianhui and Jing Zhen before speaking calmly, “The reason I invited the two of you in is to say…”

Before she could finish her words, Shen Qianhui stuffed the songs she brought into her hands. “Teacher Yang, I know that the company isn’t able to bring out suitable songs to offer you. That’s why you’re thinking of switching to another company. However, these are the songs we spent the entirety of last night gathering. Can you take a look at them first? What if there’s one that you find suitable?”

Shen Qianhui smiled and said, “Of course, if there isn’t any, it just means that we aren’t meant to be… I won’t force you either.”

They said that one didn’t hit a smiling face.

Seeing this, Yang Zhiqin let out a sigh, lowered her head, and picked up the music pieces in her hands. She flipped through them one by one, her brows tightly furrowed. She was clearly very unsatisfied with them.

At this moment, Li Zhuo took the opportunity to scorn them. “Teacher Yang is an artist, but Royal Ocean Entertainment is trying to treat her perfunctorily with these crudely-made pieces? You guys are being too disrespectful!”

As Li Zhuo said this, Yang Zhiqin saw the song [Lone Silence] that was written by Shen Ruojing. She then seemed slightly stunned.

Footnote:

[1] ‘He’, ‘She’ and ‘her’, ‘his’ have the same pronunciation in Chinese. Lu Hui said ‘she’, but Lu Cheng, who has the impression that Prof. Z is a guy, would think that Lu Hui said ‘he’.
