151: This couple must be very close.

Hearing Chen Qiu's words, Cheng Yun didn't react for a moment.

When she saw him tapping his ear, her pupils suddenly constricted, and her heart felt as if it had stopped beating.

Even in the dim movie theater, her face, which had instantly turned pale, was clearly visible.

"W-what 'that person'?"

Cheng Yun's voice was dry. She averted her gaze, not daring to meet Chen Qiu's eyes, and tried to play dumb.

Chen Qiu gave a playful smile.

"Miss Cheng, you didn't think I hadn't noticed anything, did you?"

"I noticed it back at the lounge bar."

"Later, I even heard the voice coming from your earpiece. It was a woman..."

"She's the entertainment industry Sugar Daddy you found in Magic City, right?"

"Don't you dream of debuting in a Girl Group? Why do you like acting so much?"

Hearing Chen Qiu tear everything open, his indifferent voice hammering at Cheng Yun's psyche, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

The man before her no longer had even a hint of that innocent and honest temperament.

At this moment, Cheng Yun finally realized.

While she was following Feng Man's instructions to flirt with Chen Qiu, the latter had already been playing along with them.

And she had actually been foolish enough to believe it.

To believe that an MCN boss who held the fate of hundreds or thousands of girls in his hands would be an innocent person... The most fatal thing was that between Feng Man and Chen Qiu, she had ignored Feng Man's instructions and impulsively chosen Chen Qiu... Cheng Yun knew very well that with Feng Man's extremely controlling personality, no matter how she explained herself when she went back, she would most likely be cast aside.

This meant that all the efforts she had made with Feng Man before had become futile.

The path ahead, which she had pinned her hopes on, was a cliff, and the way back was blocked.

At this moment, Cheng Yun slumped in her chair, feeling that her life was hopeless.

"What you said just now was also just to tease me, right..."

"After working so hard for so long, have I ended up being a clown after all?"

Cheng Yun murmured with a tragic smile.

Recalling her experiences over the years, Cheng Yun felt no resentment in her heart, only endless sorrow and powerlessness!

She felt sorrow for her own overestimation of herself.

Without exceptional ability or a superior family background, she had stepped into this endless whirlpool based on the pitifully foolish word 'dream.'

Perhaps, the moment she broke her own bottom line years ago—when even her body, personality, and dignity could be used as bargaining chips—her ending had already been decided.

Looking at the vacant-eyed Cheng Yun before him, Chen Qiu's heart also felt a slight stir.

Upon learning that Cheng Yun was cooperating with her master's mission to go on a blind date with him, he actually didn't feel much anger.

After all, he was also just playing a part.

During these two-plus hours together, Cheng Yun hadn't shown any personality traits that made him feel uncomfortable.

He wasn't a good person, but he wasn't cold-blooded either.

Looking at the despondent Cheng Yun, Chen Qiu couldn't help but be a little moved.

"What I said just now wasn't just for fun."

"Variety Girl Groups and Livestream Girl Groups—I'll do both!"

As Chen Qiu's voice reached Cheng Yun's ears, her unfocused eyes flickered.

Before joy could rise in her heart, Cheng Yun shook her head with a bitter smile.

"President Chen, you don't have to play with me at this point."

"I know very well that to you, I have no value at all."

Chen Qiu's brow twitched slightly.

After hitting rock bottom, she actually sees things more clearly!

He pinched Cheng Yun's chin, and with a slight application of force, it even caused her some pain.

Seeing her frown and let out a soft cry of pain, Chen Qiu suddenly realized that his physical abilities were much stronger than before and he hadn't controlled himself.

This pain also cleared Cheng Yun's head a bit.

"Right now, you indeed have no value."

"But, I can make you priceless at any time!"

Saying this, Chen Qiu took out his phone and showed Cheng Yun a contract summary.

"Qingmang Era Entertainment Equity Transfer Agreement"

"Just now, I conveniently took over 80% of the shares of Qingmang Era."

Chen Qiu's nonchalant voice reached Cheng Yun's ears, and her expression gradually turned to shock.

Qingmang Era?!

The last Girl Group to explode in popularity in the entertainment industry came from this company!

This was an old-brand company in the industry. Although it was past its prime, it still had many B-list stars under its wing!

And listening to Chen Qiu's tone, acquiring this company was as casual as buying a snack on the side of the road.

"Chen... President Chen, are you really willing to promote me?"

Cheng Yun's voice trembled.

Chen Qiu looked at Cheng Yun and said calmly.

"The price is a five-year unpaid contract. I can guarantee you at least B-list level resources. Are you willing to accept?"

Chen Qiu had just briefly looked at the two project proposals in the system.

Cheng Yun's name was among the candidates for the Girl Group.

However, aside from being decent in terms of looks, her abilities could only be considered mediocre.

But are there few mediocre people who are currently popular in the entertainment industry?

With resources and system-produced planning, Chen Qiu could guarantee a baseline of B-list traffic regardless of who he promoted.

Finding girls with strong abilities might take things to the next level.

But girls with strong abilities are all arrogant.

They wouldn't be willing to sign a contract that was even more exploitative than slavery.

For someone who had fallen to the bottom and lost everything, they would grab onto a vine without hesitation.

Not to mention, what Chen Qiu had thrown down was a ladder to the clouds!

"I, I'm willing!"

"Thank you, President Chen, for being willing to give me this opportunity. I..."

See, she even has to thank us!

Chen Qiu felt emotional in his heart.

He watched a movie, was waited on for two hours, earned a bunch of rewards, and gained a laborer who was deeply grateful to him.

This blind date was truly worth it!

Especially those introduced by He Ting—each one was a rare and remarkable person!

"I'll have to have He Ting introduce a few more later!"
