Chapter 149: Mr. Li Claims Sovereignty

The talent agent opened his eyes wide in shock the moment Qiao Siyu finished his sentence.

Oh god! Just as the talent agent suspected, Qiao Siyu was out to get him! He had already told Qiao Siyu this was not open for discussion!

Qiao Siyu did not have a single scandal ever since he joined the entertainment industry. When the talent agency wanted to create some dating scandal for him and some award-winning actress, Qiao Siyu nipped it in the bud by saying, “If you make me do it, then I will stop acting.”

However, Qiao Siyu was offering to put out some dating news with Mu Sheng who was a rookie actress no less.

Jiang Tian was still engrossed in arguing with his teammates in-game and did not quite catch what Qiao Siyu had said. He hurriedly removed his earphones when he realized Qiao Siyu was talking to him. “A dating scandal? Weren’t you the one who invited us here? Mu Sheng has no intention of using your fame for hype.”

Qiao Siyu laughed with the corners of his eyes upturned and looked stunning. “Mr. Jiang, you are mistaken. I was suggesting having a dating scandal with Miss Mu. I think we should pretend to date and tell the paparazzi about it.”

This was often done in the entertainment industry. When an unknown artist had a dating scandal with a hugely popular artist for a period of time, the unknown artist would stand to gain a lot of popularity.

The unknown artist would get exposure, popularity, and all kinds of resources. Similarly, they would rise in the food chain in the entertainment industry.

Jiang Tian undoubtedly knew about such methods, but he was surprised that Qiao Siyu was talking about it since Qiao Siyu never had a scandal in his life.

Qiao Siyu seemed to detect Jiang Tian’s bewilderment and smiled as he explained, “I have a new movie airing soon, so I was hoping to do some publicity.”

Jiang Tian shrugged. “Erm… If Mu Sheng is agreeable, I have no objection.”

Plenty of other celebrities wanted to get acquainted with Qiao Siyu, so there was no reason for Jiang Tian to say no since Qiao Siyu was offering it.

Everyone looked at Mu Sheng. Mu Sheng raised her head and made eye contact with Qiao Siyu.

Qiao Siyu was a straightforward man with kind eyes. Even though Mu Sheng did not have much of a social circle in her past life, she could sense Qiao Siyu was a good guy. If she worked with him, it was a win-win situation for her.

However, Mu Sheng turned him down. “No, thanks.”

She had joined the entertainment industry purely because the original owner of the body was in the trade. Also, she had to make money. However, she had no wish to become a superstar.

Even if she did want to become a superstar, she certainly did not want to do it by taking a shortcut this way. She felt it was far better to do it honestly by working hard.

A look of disappointment swept across Qiao Siyu’s face, but he continued smiling. “It’s okay. If you prefer not to do it, then I won’t ask again. Let me walk you out.”

The moment he finished his sentence, Qiao Siyu reached his hand out and took Mu Sheng’s bag. “Let me help you with this.”

Since the temperature today was rather low, no one noticed when they walked out wearing caps and masks. However, Qiao Siyu and Mu Sheng’s exceptional aura remained head-turning.

The moment they walked out of the cafe, a black car drove over.

“Thanks.” Mu Sheng took her bag and turned to get into the car.

“You’re welcome.” Qiao Siyu smiled at Mu Sheng. However, his smile froze briefly when he noticed the silhouette in the driver’s seat.

He was standing by the car window and could see a man dressed in a black suit sitting beside Mu Sheng. Even though it was just his side view, his profile was gorgeous.

A chauffeur? That was the first thought that crossed Qiao Siyu’s mind.

A second later, he was proven wrong.
