Without noticing, the two of them slowly moved closer. At the moment that Ye Zhen held her breath, she could almost hear Lu Beichuan’s strong heartbeat by her ears.

It was a very mysterious feeling that made her feel both excited and nervous. Even more than that, she was at a loss.

However, in the next second, Zhouzhou, who had been lying on the bed, woke up. He pouted and spat out the pacifier. Feeling wronged, he bawled.

The wailing instantly pulled Ye Zhen back to reality.

Lu Beichuan was so close to her that she could almost count the number of hairs in his eyebrows. Ye Zhen immediately flushed. In a panic, she abruptly pushed him away, stood up, and went to check on the crying Zhouzhou. She found out that he had wet his diaper.

“Zhouzhou peed. I… I’m going to get a clean diaper from Zhouzhou’s room.”

After saying that, Ye Zhen fled the room in panic.

That sweet scent seemed to linger under his nose, and the memory of that soft touch was so enchanting that he didn’t want to move. Lu Beichuan took a deep breath and retrained his desire. He got up and walked over to Zhouzhou. He stared at his son with a calm expression. Under this gaze, Zhouzhou actually stopped crying. He hiccupped.

The father and son silently looked at each other.

After the online drama about Lu Beichuan, his wife, and Shen Weiyin finally came to an end for the time being, many netizens found out that Lu Corporation had terminated its endorsement contract with Shen Weiyin in order to avoid arousing suspicion.

After seeing the statement that Lu Corporation would no longer be working with Shen Weiyin, Ye Qing dressed up and brought her agent with her when she went to Lu Corporation with great fanfare.

“Hi, I’m Ye Qing. I have an appointment with your PR Director.”

Ye Qing’s relationship with Mrs. Lu was now well-known, and everyone would give Ye Qing a bit of face because of Ye Zhen, which gave Ye Qing a lot of confidence in the entertainment industry.

“Okay, please wait a moment.” The person at the front desk dialed the number for the PR Department. After getting a reply, she asked Ye Qing to go to the 18th floor.

On the 18th floor’s waiting room, the assistant at the front desk brought two cups of tea over. One cup for Ye Qing and another cup for her agent. She quietly checked out Ye Qing.

Ye Qing didn’t mind. She pulled down her sunglasses and arrogantly looked at that assistant. “Please have your director come see me as soon as possible. I’m here to discuss an endorsement deal.”

The front desk assistant inwardly grumbled how Ye Qing would get an endorsement deal, but she didn’t say anything. She politely smiled and left the room.

Ye Qing’s agent didn’t have deep qualifications and wasn’t an astute person either. When she heard that Ye Qing had gotten an endorsement deal with Lu Corporation, she was delighted and didn’t think any further.

It didn’t take long for a neatly dressed woman to walk into the waiting room.

“Hi, I’m Qin Zhiyin. I’m Lu Corporation’s PR Director.”

After getting that call from one of Lu Corporation’s employees, she came for an interview on the next day. After meeting Lu Beichuan, she was sure of Lu Corporation’s sincerity and joined Lu Corporation the day after that.

Lu Corporation had naturally helped her settle that matter with Yidu Media. To pay Lu Corporation back and to also prove that her abilities were worthy of Lu Corporation’s cultivation, Qin Zhiyin cleanly and beautifully dealt with those online matters.

Lu Beichuan had promoted Qin Zhiyin to PR Director without hesitation. As for the PR Director at the time, Director Zhou naturally yielded his position to the person that was more worthy than him.

“Qin Zhiyin? PR Director?” Ye Qing pulled down her sunglasses to glance at Qin Zhiyin. During this period in the entertainment circle, Ye Qing had gotten very good at treating people differently depending on their status. “You’re so young. Can you really make that decision?”

Qin Zhiyin, who had stretched her hand out for a handshake, didn’t show any awkwardness. She put her hand down, sat down on the sofa, and smiled. “Of course, I’ve always handled who will be the spokesperson.”

“Then…” Ye Qing took off her sunglasses. “Since you can make that decision, where’s the contract? I brought my agent today. Let’s sign.”

Qin Zhiyin didn’t move. She seemed a bit puzzled. “Miss Ye, as far as I know, our company didn’t notify you that we had chosen you to become one of our brand spokesperson.”

Ye Qing furrowed her brow. Extremely unhappy, she asked, “What do you mean?”

Qin Zhiyin’s standard smile be suitable for endsoring our company’s products.”

“Wait a minute. What do you mean by a list of spokesperson candidates? There were other candidates?”

“We had professionals carry out an examination for all aspects for what we want in a spokesperson. Of course, there’s a limit.”

Ye Qing’s expression was becoming increasingly ugly. “Where’s Ye Zhen? Ye Zhen is your boss’s wife. Hasn’t she explained things to you guys?”

“Mrs. Lu did explain things to us, but after we conducted our examination, we didn’t think you were suitable. I remember that I contacted your agent and said I would notify you as soon as possible if there was any news. Thank you for taking the time to come here.”

There was nothing left for Ye Qing to not understand. She had previously thought that it would be easy to get this endorsement contract, but it was only Ye Zhen making a fool of her!

“This can’t be! She promised me that she would give me the opportunity to be the spokesperson!”

“This… you’ll have to talk to Mrs. Lu yourself. I didn’t receive word that Mrs. Lu wants you to become the company’s spokesperson.”

Right after Qin Zhiyin said these words, the front desk assistant knocked on the waiting room’s door and said, “Director Qin, Miss Meng is here.”

Qin Zhiyin nodded and then said to Ye Qing, “Miss Ye, I’ve made things clear to you. If there’s nothing else, I have to go.”

Qin Zhiyin walked out of the waiting room with a smile.

Ye Qing’s agent’s voice sank as she asked, “Ye Qing, what’s going on?”

Ye Qing clenched her hand into a fist. She flung the cup of tea onto the floor to vent her anger.

Ye Zhen! It was Ye Zhen again!

She should have known from the beginning that with Ye Zhen’s stingy personality, she would never give her any benefits!

She shouldn’t have believed in Ye Zhen and came to Lu Corporation to humiliate herself!

“We’re leaving!”

Ye Qing knew that she couldn’t lose her temper here. As she walked out of the waiting room while suppressing her anger, a fragrant scent wafted over. She instinctively turned towards the source of the scent and saw that Qin Zhiyin was smiling as she invited a woman into the conference room. She only saw the woman’s slender figure from the back as she passed through her line of sight.

The woman’s figure from the back was somewhat familiar, but Ye Qing couldn’t immediately tell who she was.

Coming out of Lu Corporation, Ye Qing was burning with rage. She had the agent take a taxi back to the company by herself while she sped along the coastline in her car. When she thought of Ye Zhen’s tone and gaze when she made a fool of her, she grinded her teeth.

Suddenly, she got a call. It was Older Sister Li.

Ye Qing didn’t want to answer the phone, but when she thought of Ye Zhen’s smug look, she picked it up.

“Miss Ye, have you thought over what I proposed last time?”

As soon as she heard that she was calling about that, Ye Qing frowned in disgust. “Don’t call me again. There’s nothing to think about. I won’t agree to it.”

Have her accompany those greasy middle-aged pot-bellied men? Dream on!

After saying that, she made a gesture to hang up the video call.

“Wait.” Older Sister Li smiled. “Miss Ye, you’re misunderstanding. Who doesn’t know that you’re Mrs. Lu’s older sister now? No one would dare to make you do something that you don’t want to do. There’s a gathering of rich second-generation men tonight. They’re all people in the entertainment circle and have a network of contacts. You just have to go drink a few glasses of wine with them. Don’t worry. No one will dare to do anything to you and you don’t have to do anything.

“Those wealthy second-generation men have first-class looks and conduct. They’re definitely not the type to mess around. Just go there, chat with them a bit, and treat it as making friends. It’s strictly just talking to them. If you can make friends with them, you won’t have to worry about resources.”

“Wealthy second-generation men? Who?”

Older Sister Li smiled. “You probably heard of him. His last name is You.”
