I Went Viral After Dating a Superstar-Chapter 148 - 137 President Wan Rui

Wanrui Company, one of the top publicly traded companies in the country, has a diverse portfolio that includes shopping malls, cinemas, various real estate ventures, parks, and amusement parks—they dabble in it all. The CEO of Wanrui Company is known for his low profile, quietly amassing a fortune, and rarely is he seen in public.

Yet shopping malls under Wanrui Company have long been spread across the nation.

Qian Li’s surprised eyes flickered.

The door opened, and outside, a man who looked to be in his fifties with scholarly glasses and an appearance that betrayed no sign of old age, strolled in with confidence.

He carried the air of authority uniquely found in those of high positions, and with a slight smile, followed by several attendants, he made Cui Mu, who’d been indifferent to others in the room, suddenly seem diminutive by comparison.

Although Cui Mu was himself a member of the cultural elite, usually sneering at ostentatious wealth, he couldn’t help but feel somewhat submissive in the presence of someone who truly wielded global economic influence.

Although puzzled, he hurried over and bowed his head deferentially, "What a surprise that you’ve graced us with your presence; we are truly delighted."

Delighted, perhaps not; terrified, certainly.

After all, no one knew why this person had suddenly appeared, an event so unexpected that it left them completely disoriented.

To everyone’s surprise, the president of Wanrui went straight to Pei Jinxi and said in a subdued voice, "I’ve heard about Jinxi’s troubles and that it’s caused some distress here. I came especially to apologize. I’ve just seen the recent news and, having been too caught up in work, could only deal with it now. I’m not sure how things stand at the moment."

As he spoke, he naturally patted Pei Jinxi’s shoulder, as if he had done so thousands of times before with the same nonchalance.

The people present were dumbstruck, gazing at the unfolding scene.

He smiled and said, "Oh, perhaps you’re all not aware yet. I forgot to introduce myself—I’m Jinxi’s father. My son has caused some trouble around here recently, so I’ve come to have a look."

"..."

"..."

Suddenly, everyone realized.

The CEO of Wanrui—his surname was Pei.

Pei Wanshan, that was his well-known name.

It was just because he usually kept such a low profile that people didn’t immediately recall his name, and it took a quick mental search through the list of the wealthy to remember that, among them, Pei Wanshan was an unassuming billionaire, the man behind Wanrui Group.

Pei Jinxi was his son?

Mu Qianli was shocked, looking at Pei Jinxi and feeling all the more bewildered.

Had she been too Spartan?

Reflecting on it, his mother, Tan Weina, had also left the entertainment industry discreetly, supposedly marrying someone outside the circle. But back then, the news wasn’t as pervasive as it is now; celebrities getting married quietly and leaving the scene wouldn’t cause a media frenzy.

Thinking about it now, Tan Weina, with her looks and accomplishments, was a goddess of that era, so it made sense that she would marry a prominent figure.

However, Pei Jinxi had never mentioned any of this, which added to Mu Qianli’s surprise.

A strange silence fell over the entire film crew.

After what seemed like an eternity, Cui Mu finally made up his mind and approached with a forced chuckle.

"It’s all minor issues. Jinxi has always been diligent and dedicated in the crew, working tirelessly without complaint. Now he’s been wrongfully accused and unfairly implicated for so long, it’s due to our lack of oversight. We’re to blame, and we will be more attentive in the future to protect every actor in our team."

Changing your tune, just like that?

Reality is indeed very real...

But then again, who could afford not to be pragmatic in front of the president of Wanrui.
