The party gradually began, and people continuously came over to greet Zhang Lunan. Naturally, he extended his hand, circling Ling Momo’s waist, and clinked glasses with each of them.
Momo’s body stiffened, and several times she wanted to break free, but Zhang Lunan’s grip on her waist tightened more and more. His fingertips even misbehaved, sliding over the fabric, teasing her so much that she couldn’t move. Subconsciously, she wanted to raise her hand and slap Zhang Lunan hard.
But suddenly, Li Qingshen flashed through her mind.
That day, the rain poured down; both drenched, he had taken her to the ES building, only to be a minute late and miss the contest. He said, "Ling Momo, just give up. You can’t participate in the contest this time."
That night, he called and said, "I’ll give you another chance..."
He accompanied her to Jian Chenxi’s release banquet, revealed his legendary status, indulged her cleverness, and helped her strike at Chenxi.
He even accepted her invitation to personally attend the ES competition she was in.
That cold and proud man, regardless of his reasons, had truly helped her.
Yet she, in return, had brought him endless embarrassment and disappointment!
Thinking of this, Ling Momo calmed down again. She held her breath; her smile may have become a bit forced, but a flicker of forbearance flashed through her eyes. She endured the nausea welling up inside her, accompanying Zhang Lunan, stifling her breath, her smile rigid as she clinked glasses and downed drinks with those coming over to toast with Zhang Lunan.
After what felt like an eternity of drinking, the dance began.
Ling Momo could not stand another minute by Zhang Lunan’s side. She slowly shifted to the side and distanced herself from him, "Mr. Zhang, I would like to use the restroom."
But before Momo could step away, Zhang Lunan suddenly pulled her back to his side, snatching the wine glass from her palm, "Dance with me."
"Mr. Zhang, I can’t dance," Momo lied. To dance was, in reality, to let him take advantage of her!
Zhang Lunan wasn’t angry, and it was unclear if it was the alcohol’s doing, but he was in an exceedingly good mood. He leaned in close to her ear and whispered, "Dance the opening dance with me and I’ll give you the spokesperson image for Fenghua Group’s new product."
Momo was taken aback; she hadn’t expected Zhang Lunan to be so generous. Find the newest release on nοvelfire.net
Seeing Momo’s expression, Zhang Lunan slightly smiled, and with a tinge of smugness in his tone, he continued, "Don’t worry, as long as you make me happy, I am willing to invest heavily in you!"
This was the game the wealthy loved to play.
Investing money to make a female star.
Momo wasn’t too interested in Zhang Lunan’s hefty investment; she just wanted to seize a spokesperson role, letting everyone in the industry know that Li Qingshen’s student had secured a prime-time ad spot, winning back his face.
Seeing that Momo wasn’t refusing, Zhang Lunan took her by the waist and walked towards the dance floor.
As they moved, his hand caressed up and down her waist. Momo found this man to be shameless to the extreme, but the thought of Li Qingshen made her suppress the urge to hit him, forcefully holding back the revulsion and turmoil within, and struggled to steady her body’s trembling, accompanying Zhang Lunan to dance.
