Mengyu's studio was recently established, and because of her father's debts, she didn't have much funding. So, she chose to rent a not-so-large shop on the commercial street!
Probably no one would have guessed that a studio of such a prominent celebrity would be so humble!
Perhaps it was also because she didn't want Liu Zixuan to see such a scene that Mengyu chose to meet in a café next to Xiumei Company!
Not long after, Liu Zixuan came in and sat down next to Mengyu.
"Wasn't it supposed to be at 10:40? Why so early?" Liu Zixuan asked.
"Just had nothing to do, so I came over to take a look, and I didn't want to disturb Jiang Yiyi and the others at work, so I didn't go up!"
Mengyu smiled lightly and asked, "What grudge do you have with Qianhe Group? Can't it be resolved?"
"Why? You want to help me with something?" Liu Zixuan laughed.
A blush appeared on Mengyu's face. It indeed was what she was thinking. Liu Zixuan had helped her so much, and she was thinking of doing something for him. Besides... currently, Mengyu relied heavily on Liu Zixuan!
Seeing her like this, Liu Zixuan chuckled, "Actually, there's not much of a grudge; Yinggu simply betrayed me after I helped her!"
"Betrayed?" Mengyu looked puzzled.
Liu Zixuan then recounted Ying Qingning's matters to Mengyu!
"I didn't expect them to be that kind of people!" After listening, Mengyu felt a bit of injustice for Liu Zixuan.
"It's no big deal. I'm so handsome that I've always naturally attracted jealousy!"
"You still have the mood to joke!" Mengyu muttered unhappily, "As far as I know, Qianhe Group is quite aggressive this time here. Some of my media friends said they are promoting Qianhe Group in the name of the Willow Association, causing many major companies' CEOs to voluntarily seek cooperation."
"Yesterday, while talking to me, they also mentioned that although Qianhe Group was recently established, angel funding has already reached more than a billion. And that building they are in was given by one of the CEOs to secure collaboration!"
"A building?" Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow, suddenly recalling something.
Previously Jiang Yiyi kept saying she needed a large office space, but currently in Ghost Wood City, almost every building was already overcrowded with businesses. To get one, you'd have to find a place to build it, which wasn't exactly feasible at the moment!
But now... it seemed like a piece of meat had fallen right into his lap! They're not even friends anyway, and since they're already at odds, why not defeat them and take over that building!
Liu Zixuan smiled at the corner of his mouth; a free building—if he didn't take it, he'd be a fool!
Seeing his unusual smile, Mengyu curiously asked, "What are you thinking about? So happy!"
"I'm thinking about how to get rid of Qianhe Group and take that building. I really need a large office space right now!"
Liu Zixuan explained.
Mengyu immediately shook her head, "That's impossible! It's not to discourage you, but given Qianhe Group's current momentum, Xiumei lingerie can't compete with it at all, and there's even a risk of being suppressed by them! You mustn't mess around."
Liu Zixuan teased with a smile, "Beautiful lady, want to make a bet?"
"What bet?"
"Within a month, I'll have that building change ownership to Zixuan, and if I succeed, you'll have to agree to one of my demands!" Liu Zixuan laughed.
"What if you can't do it?" Mengyu said with a playful smile.
"I'll let you decide!"
"Alright, if you can't do it, you have to be my boyfriend!" Mengyu said, gathering her courage.
Liu Zixuan was suddenly stunned, wasn't this supposed to be his line? How come the big celebrity Mengyu was so forward! Why bet at all? I could be your boyfriend right now!
He playfully grinned, "Either way, I won't lose out!"
"In your dreams! Being my boyfriend won't be that easy!" Mengyu smiled smugly, "Alright, it's almost time, let's go over!"
With that, the two walked out together, with Mengyu openly linking arms with Liu Zixuan. Though the window pane between them hadn't been shattered yet, they looked quite like a couple walking together on the road!
However, if Mengyu's fans saw this, Liu Zixuan would probably be in trouble!
They discreetly exited the café, got in the car together, and headed towards the south of the city.
Soon, they arrived below the Qianhe Building.
Luxury cars gathered by the roadside, and beneath the building hung a large banner with the words "Congratulations on the Successful Opening of Qianhe Group" written on it!
Below the banner, there were a few receptionists doing registrations.
After signing their names, Mengyu and Liu Zixuan were led inside by a receptionist.
"Isn't that the famous Mengyu?"
"Who's that man with her?"
"It can't be, I've always heard Mengyu was single. How could she be linking arms with a man!"
"He must be her manager; she's our goddess, there's no way she'd casually find a boyfriend!"
As the two walked by, they heard people murmuring nearby.
It was clear that most envied Liu Zixuan. A man able to walk alongside a big-star, a national goddess, naturally carried a certain aura!
Just as they reached the entrance, Tong Yang came over, initially all smiles and excitement, especially since getting a renowned star to headline the event was quite a coup!
But he never expected the person next to Mengyu to be someone he disliked!
"Why are you here?" Tong Yang asked with an unusually unpleasant look on his face.
"Why shouldn't I be here!" Liu Zixuan replied with a teasing smile.
"You!"
"Mr. Tong, he's my manager, is there a problem?" Mengyu openly smiled.
"Your manager?" Tong Yang looked incredulous, "Miss Mengyu, I can't believe such a beautiful star would have such a manager!"
"What do you mean by that?" Mengyu naturally heard the disdain in Tong Yang's words towards Liu Zixuan!
"Nothing, just feel it's a bit unfair for you." Tong Yang replied with a meaningful smile.
"Looks like I'm not welcome here then!" Liu Zixuan shrugged, showing no signs of embarrassment, but rather a smirk! Yes, a smirk! A smugness unique to Liu Zixuan!
"Do you think I'd welcome you?"
"If not welcomed, then we'll just leave!" Mengyu's face changed, suddenly unhappy, as she turned to leave with Liu Zixuan!
Yet Tong Yang panicked, waiting for Mengyu to headline. If she left, his boasts would fall through, which would indeed be a slap to his face!
Hurriedly, he moved to block their way, saying, "You wouldn't do this just because of a manager?"
"My manager represents me. If you treat him this way, it's the same as treating me this way." Mengyu retaliated, not holding back at all.
In her eyes, Liu Zixuan was above everything!
