Chapter 59: 058 Entertainment Circle Superstar Returns (3)
He Muyun paused, then lazily lit a cigarette and, through the wisps of smoke, looked at Ye Shaohua with deep-set eyes, “As the CEO’s wife, you don’t have to bother thinking about it. The second female lead for ‘Jianghu’ has already been decided. Acting like this will only earn you a bad reputation. Just obey for half a year, and I can guarantee your fame will reach the skies.”
Tsk, fame reaching the skies, quite the grandiose claim.
Ye Shaohua shook her head somewhat regretfully, a clear hint of disappointment in her eyes as if she was saddened by not becoming the CEO’s wife. “You’re not willing to give me anything, yet you talk about skyrocketing fame. Qi Zihua can offer me much more, at the very least he can get me into ‘Demon Domain’.”
As she spoke, her face was the very picture of a gold-digger, “That would also work. You could just announce on the official Weibo that I’m with you, which would really boost my popularity and fanbase. Those haters wouldn’t dare to criticize me then.”
Her words knit He Muyun’s brows in frustration, followed by a headache that drove him to usher her out of the office.
She was entirely different from what he had just seen on camera.
Once Ye Shaohua exited, the gold-digger persona disappeared instantly, and her eyes grew cold and stern, “Heh, a kept woman?”
The sight made the assistant shiver uncontrollably.
Meanwhile, He Muyun was still in his office, pondering over Ye Shaohua’s unusual behavior.
The door was opened by the junior assistant, who delivered Ye Shaohua’s file.
He Muyun took it with one hand, flipping through it quickly. When he reached a certain line, his fingers, holding the cigarette, tensed, “…Boyfriend?”
To him, these three words seemed incredibly glaring.
The junior assistant had overheard everything Ye Shaohua had said, “Become an international superstar in one year? The internet says this Miss Ye is a bit brainless, seems about right. Even the second young master took three years to reach this status, she’s thinking too highly of herself.”
He thought such a brainless woman wouldn’t garner favor from He Muyun.
To his surprise, He Muyun stubbed out his cigarette, looked up at him with frosty eyes.
The assistant almost knelt right there and then.
“Heh,” He Muyun sneered, taking a book from the drawer and smacking it onto the assistant’s face, then turned his head and pronounced, “Starting today, no vacation for two months.”
The assistant hurriedly caught the book, ‘My Overbearing CEO’s Love’, sponsored by his wife. Hearing He Muyun’s words, his eyes widened, “Boss, please let me explain!”
“Three months,” He Muyun opened the window to ventilate the smoky room.
“No, boss, I have a better idea…”
“Half a year.”
The assistant, all business: “Understood, boss. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going out.”
“Wait,” He Muyun took a deep breath, sat back in his chair, and began tapping on the desk, “Give me the Qingyun Gang’s file.”
The assistant looked at him strangely; usually, his boss couldn’t care less about the Qi Family’s problems.
Complaints aside, he dared not utter another word.
Inside the office, He Muyun, his eyes dark, scanned the file as he spoke through gritted teeth, “For Qi Zihua, you’ve really taken your act seriously…”

Ye Shaohua changed clothes and, with script in hand, returned to the nanny van.
This nanny van wasn’t provided by the company; the company offered her and Sang Xue one to share, which Sang Xue used, while this one, was a luxury model hand-picked by Ye Shaohua’s father, equipped better than the facilities of common first-line stars.
Ye Shaohua’s assistant unscrewed the thermos for her, still in a daze. She hadn’t expected Ye Shaohua’s acting to be so good, especially since the first film she picked up was directed by Director Zhou.
While she was contemplating, her phone rang.
“It’s Brother Liang.” The assistant showed Ye Shaohua the phone; Brother Liang was both her and Sang Xue’s agent.
Also a golden agent at Xingyun, he took on the immensely potential Sang Xue, aiming to make her a first-line star in a short period.
Ye Shaohua glanced over lazily and said indifferently, “Answer.”
Now, Ye Shaohua exuded an irresistible aura in every gesture, naturally leading the assistant not to oppose her.
“Ye Shaohua, where are you guys?” Sang Xue had also finished attending the commencement ceremony, and they had to go to a small banquet arranged by Qi Zihua that evening.
A light shone in the eyes of Ye Shaohua’s assistant, “Brother Liang, we were just at Zhou…”

“Enough, hurry over.” Brother Liang was too impatient to hear the assistant out, cutting her off and hanging up quickly.
Ye Shaohua leaned against the car door leisurely. Seeing this, her lips curled in a smirk, lined with three parts irony, three parts chill, four parts laziness, leaving the assistant to forget about complaining about Brother Liang.
Such banquets were commonplace in the circle.
When Ye Shaohua got out of the car, another vehicle just happened to stop by.
The car door opened, but Ye Shaohua did not look, merely lowering her gaze to play with her phone. However, the assistant beside her lit up, their voice trembling with excitement, “Heavens… My God! It’s Best Actor He! Miss Ye, did you see? It’s Best Actor He! Oh my, can I go up and ask for an autograph!”
As the youngest Best Actor and a member of the He Family, He Musheng’s status in the Entertainment Circle was never a secret. He had countless fans of all ages, which wasn’t surprising at all.
He himself was without airs, very gentle with his fans. Even a casual selfie of his could make headlines.
One could say, he was one of the rare superstars who had both ability and represented massive popularity.
“Your fan, I’ll go get an autograph,” resigned to the situation, He Musheng’s agent picked up a pre-prepared autographed photo.
In the circle, He Musheng was known for his good nature, so the agent naturally did not think he would refuse someone from the same circle.
Unexpectedly, this time the usually good-tempered man made no move, but instead closed the car door, “Don’t go down.”
“What’s wrong?” The agent was surprised.
He Musheng’s attractive eyebrows furrowed, “That person always likes to create hype, and even has a yearly subscription to trending searches, constantly trying to catch netizens’ attention. I don’t want to wake up tomorrow and find myself linked to her.”
“Someone dares to use you for hype?” Upon hearing this, the agent set the autographed photo down firmly in the car, “They really have some nerve.”
“Her trending searches are bought, it’s embarrassing for anyone involved,” He Musheng had paid attention to Ye Shaohua because of Qi Zihua, and he said with a light smile, “To be featured in the same Weibo post with her would be laughably absurd.”
Sitting in the car, He Musheng had thought that hype-loving Ye Shaohua would make some move.
To his surprise, she did not even glance at the car and turned to enter the gate.
As she turned away, her eyes seemed excessively cold.
He Musheng paused, somewhat taken aback.
However, he did not dwell on it, instead getting out of the car and heading to a room upstairs in the Banquet Hall via another door.
“Good news, my big brother is going to help you,” he said as he entered, patting the shoulder of the person seated on the sofa.
Qi Zihua’s hand was injured, though not severely. His eyes lit up upon hearing the news, “Are you serious, your big brother is really going to help me?”
Members of the He Family were known for their formidable prowess, especially the rising star, He Muyun, who could turn the tide in his favor in the business world. He was given respect by both the underworld and the law-abiding community alike.
If He Muyun was willing to step in, there would be nothing to worry about for the Qingyun Gang.
“Yes, he even contacted me just now to ask about your situation,” He Musheng leaned on the sofa, “But what’s strange is, my brother usually can’t be bothered with these things. Why would he suddenly care about your mess?”
“You might not believe it, but our Xuexue brings me luck,” Qi Zihua, satisfied by He Musheng’s words, smiled even more, “Ever since I met her, good things just keep happening. Xingtian has even signed several promising newbies who are willing to put in the work because of her…”
“So you’re serious?” He Musheng raised an eyebrow.
The playboy settling down? But if he was serious, the Qi Family wouldn’t be an easy hurdle to cross.
Qi Zihua smiled, “What else did you think?”
As the two talked, downstairs, Ye Shaohua had already found Sang Xue and Brother Liang’s group.
Today, Ye Shaohua wore a simple dress, not dressed up like the others. Yet even so, the Crystal Lamp overhead couldn’t dim the brilliance of her face, which was dazzling to the point of being blinding.
Her hand holding the wine glass was as delicate and pale as white jade.
Gossip in the circle could not be contained forever.
Especially since Qi Zihua’s relationship with Ye Shaohua started with less than honorable intentions, he did not hide it too much. Instead, he leaked it to a few friends, partly to make the Qingyun Gang pay attention to his current girlfriend, Ye Shaohua.
He was worried about Sang Xue.
So when Ye Shaohua appeared, several well-known people noticed her as well.
Qi Zihua was famously promiscuous in the circle, and although his reputation was not great, he was not stingy with those around him.
No wonder Ye Shaohua was constantly trending, and even managed to unexpectedly be signed by the golden agent, Brother Liang.
A group adept at reading the room promptly approached Ye Shaohua to converse, meanwhile leaving Sang Xue aside.
Qi Zihua, coming downstairs with He Musheng, immediately noticed a director chatting happily with Ye Shaohua while Sang Xue was ignored, looking pitiful with no one talking to her.
She seemed out of place at this gathering.
Seeing this scene, Qi Zihua’s expression instantly darkened.
This small party was originally intended for Sang Xue, so what was Ye Shaohua doing? Was she so addicted to pushing herself into the spotlight? Was this gathering made for her to take center stage?
When he noticed a server offering Ye Shaohua a glass of wine but not serving Sang Xue, Qi Zihua snorted coldly, unable to hold back, he headed straight toward the two.
His expression was very ugly.
