- Chapter 17.1 Shock! Another big guy is a fanBai Ziwei was really angry. He was a fiery spirit who couldn't stand being patient, how could he bear this now?The company's double standards were way too obvious. Weren't they afraid of being scolded to death by their own fans?Veins throbbing at his temples, his fighting spirit rose, waiting for either Shen Ci or Zhou Xing to start explaining. Whatever they said, he had decided he would fight back viciously and spray them to death!Shen Ci: "Um, can we swap our acts?"Bai Ziwei: "... Huh?"Shen Ci handed him some paperwork: "I'm sure I won't be able to do this, it would be a waste if I had it. I happen to like your act too."He turned to Zhou Xing: "Zhou Ge, is that okay?"Zhou Xing shrugged nonchalantly: "No problem, we respect the artist's wishes haha."Bai Ziwei: "...."A knot of fury lodged in his throat, neither rising nor falling. Suddenly feeling deflated, Bai Ziwei nearly choked on his own frustration. He looked down at the act he was ready to fight Shen Ci for and having received it so easily, suddenly he felt it wasn't all that special.Shen Ci nervously watched as Bai Ziwei's face turned the color of a pig's liver, thinking that he should be safe from any protagonist aura related turbulence now.The feeling of surrender was quite satisfying, he thought. He had avoided conflict and got a simple act suitable for himself-- it was like killing two birds with one stone!Shen .big coward. Ci gave himself a big thumbs-up in his mind.Bai Ziwei snorted and with nothing to say, finally had no choice but to leave in annoyance.Zhou Xing patted Shen Ci on the shoulder, looking at him admiringly: "We'll make some changes to this act, don't worry, we won't let you be at a disadvantage."Bai Ziwei's original act indeed didn't offer much exposure and it lacked topics for hype. But it was a general plan given by the artists' department, so Zhou Xing was just following orders.Everyone would prefer an act with better exposure, ability to showcase talent and topic attractiveness. Bai Ziwei's anger wasn't unreasonable.Zhou Xing had been prepared for a big showdown, even getting ready to sit back and enjoy the drama. But he hadn't expected Shen Ci to give up so generously.In order to avoid tension between artists from the same company, he had made such a huge sacrifice. Zhou Xing immediately revised his impression of this rumored spoiled "little young master", his original impression raising a bit significantly.Rumors, sure enough, are just that-- unreliable groundless talk.Shen Ci, however was a bit frightened: "Then, please don't make it too difficult.... I really can't dance."Zhou Xing burst out laughing with a haha: "Alright, we'll customize it to your ability."***Holding the folder, Shen Ci's next task was to coordinate the filming of a music video. The MV was for a hot pop singer from the same company's new song. As it was a youthful love song, the company had chosen Shen Ci and another young girl to film it together.This time the coordination went quite smoothly. In the end, Shen Ci was forced to take a group picture with the girls from the responsible team-- no pictures, no materials.After the group pictures were over, seeing that the tragedy of being surrounded and harassed by the receptionist girls from the Lu Group was about to happen again, Shen Ci seized the opportunity to escape.With a numb expression, he set off on the road back to Zhang Ge's office. Seeing that there weren't many people on the road, he took out the filming plan for the MV he had just received and started to look through it.A youthful love story, ah...During the filming of "Don't Say Farewell" last time, his seniors had criticized him for his lack of sincerity in his emotions, saying that it would be better to fall in love before filming again.The question was, where could he find love? From childhood to adulthood, he had never had a crush on any girl. Later, he didn't know when, but he suddenly became very fond of Shao Jinhuan and what he thought was a crush that lasted for several years was forced to come to an end.The feeling of liking Shao Jinhuan.... Shen Ci discovered blankly that he could no longer remember what it was like.Closing his eyes again, Lu Xiao's gentle smile unexpectedly floated into Shen Ci's mind.Shocked, Shen Ci shook his head fiercely. Mom, his brain must be broken!"Thud!"Caught off guard, Shen Ci bumped into something and fell backward.He scrambled to his feet quickly to check on the other party: "I'm so sorry! I wasn't watching where I was going, are you okay?"The person who had collided with Shen Ci had also fallen backwards. Rubbing his head, he was frowning at Shen Ci when his eyes suddenly widened."Shen Ci?! My god!"The person was a tall and handsome young man. With a trendy outfit and an earring, he looked like a cool guy, yet at this moment, he shouted in a dramatic manner like a young girl.Shen Ci froze, looking at the young man with an expressionless face as his eyes twinkled.He recognized this person as the singer of the MV he was about to participate in, Yang Ning.The reason Shen Ci could remember him was because his name, was completely inconsistent with his image. The Ning in Yang Ning's name (杨柠) literally means lemon 🍋 , so I'm assuming his happy hyper sort of personality is at complete odds with the meaning of his name (Ning in this case) as lemon is sometimes attributed with the word sour.Looking somewhat excited, he grabbed Shen Ci's arm, "I've finally met you in the company! The almanac said today was a good day to go out and sure enough, it wasn't wrong!"Shen Ci suddenly had a bad premonition.Yang Ning shouted, "I am a hardcore fan of yours! Look, look, my level in your fan group on Weibo is pretty high, right? I check in every day!""When my agent asked me to choose the male lead for my new song, the first person that came to my mind was you!""You must be here to get the MV materials, right? It would be much better to hear it directly from me! Come, come..."With a confused look on his face, Shen Ci was helped up by the chattering Yang Ning who organized the materials and brought him into the nearby studio.It turned out that not only was his name a stark contrast to his image, but his personality was also quite different!

Chapter 52.1 Baby can only be mine
Editor: Jodi
“Do it again.”
Lu Xiao slammed a pile of acquisition plans onto the desk, his voice cold and gloomy, exuding a chilling pressure that sent shivers down the spine.
The managers in front of the desk didn’t dare to breathe too loudly, quickly grabbing their respective plans and scurrying away.
They were afraid that if they stayed a second longer in President Lu’s oppressive presence, they might buckle under the pressure and collapse.
Everyone at Yunxiao felt the same recently—Lu Xiao had been terrifying these past few days.
He had maintained a stern, expressionless face, summoning several executives to his office the past few days to **.
Usually, President Lu was graceful and composed, never showing excessive emotions. What’s more he often had a faint smile at the corner of his lips.
However that gentle, almost-smiling expression often sent chills down the spine of those who knew his brutal nature. Having a boss who was a “smiling tiger” was terrifying enough.
But now, with Lu Xiao’s displeasure clearly written across his face, everyone was trembling even more.
Terrified employees were pulling their hair out, wondering why on earth the president was in such a bad mood. Could he please just calm down already…..
**
Hai Jiaxi knocked on the door of the president’s office before pushing it open.
“The air conditioner’s on so low…” She shivered slightly from the cold, hugging her arms as she complained.
Looking up and seeing Lu Xiao’s dark expression as he worked, she raised her eyebrows in surprise. The great demon king actually had moments where he couldn’t control his emotions?
It didn’t take her long to figure it out. For Lu Xiao to be in such a terrible state, it most likely had something to do with the little treasure he held in his palm—Shen Ci.
“Ah, let me guess.” She walked closer, a sly smile on her face. “Did Xiao Ci fall for someone else? Or did you get rejected when you confessed?”
Lu Xiao lifted his cold, angry gaze slowly, his lips pressed into a thin line, silently ordering her to shut up.
Hai Jiaxi laughed. “Ha, looks like I hit the nail on the head.”
When Lu Xiao didn’t say anything, she sat on the sofa casually. “Since we’re partners, I’ll help you analyze the situation.”
“Xiao Ci’s a bit of a fool, so I’m guessing it’s the latter?”
“And knowing your tendencies… did you try to test the waters, only to back off right after?”
Lu Xiao’s fingers that were holding the pen trembled, his eyes staring through his glasses at the documents on his desk, unable to focus on a single word.
Hai Jiaxi paused, frowning in thought before suddenly tsk’ing impatiently.
“You two are really something. Even an outsider like me can see you’re both head over heels for each other. How did you manage to mess things up right at the last minute?”
“Xiao Ci’s a fool, and you’re a coward! I swear…… I’ve never seen you this spineless in my nearly thirty years of knowing you!”
Hai Jiaxi had somehow gotten herself worked up, wishing she could just possess Lu Xiao and force Shen Ci and make the first move, so she could seal the deal once and for all.
Lu Xiao was fine—Shen Ci was a little fool with all his feelings written clearly on his face, just like an open book.
That day when the three of them had been in the office, Shen Ci had kept sneaking glances at Lu Xiao, glances that alternated between admiration and grievance that it had made her almost unable to sit still.
And whenever he looked up at Lu Xiao, his eyes were filled entirely with him, the tenderness so palpable that even a bystander like her could feel it.
Silence stretched through the office as Lu Xiao sat there, rigid. After a while, he removed his glasses, rubbed his temples, and sighed deeply.
“I am afraid.” His voice low and hoarse, laced with loss. “I’m afraid he’ll be disappointed.”
Hai Jiaxi rolled her eyes. “That’s what they call ‘not seeing the forest for the trees.’”
“From what I can see, Xiao Ci would never reject you. Maybe he just hasn’t figured things out yet.”
“Besides… you’ve already got him so attached to you. Now you’re going to just back off irresponsibly?”
“Lu Xiao, don’t you think Xiao Ci is pitiful like this?”
He lowered his eyes, saying nothing as he resumed signing the documents.
Wei Shuo sat next to Shen Ci, nudging his shoulder.
“Xiao Ci, what’s going on between you and Uncle Lu?”
Shen Ci’s heart skipped a beat, and his eyes darted around. “Nothing’s going on.”
Wei Shuo raised an eyebrow, pinching his soft cheek. “You think you can fool me? Spill it!”
Shen Ci’s face was being pulled, so he had no choice but to say everything slowly under Wei Shuo’s pressing gaze.
And the more Wei Shuo heard, the more his jaw dropped. In the end, he grabbed Shen Ci’s hand in excitement, his eyes sparkling. “How many times did Uncle Lu kiss you? What kind of kiss? Did he use his tongue? Did he—”
Shen Ci covered his mouth hurriedly, his face burning red. “Can you focus on the important parts?!”
Wei Shuo thought in his heart— what he had just asked was the important part, but seeing Shen Ci’s embarrassed expression, he decided to stop before he got hit.
He pulled Shen Ci’s hand away. “Honestly, I’m single and so don’t have much advice to give.”
“Your relationship with Uncle Lu is a bit complicated, so it makes sense that you’re confused with that small brain of yours. But—”
Shen Ci looked at him eagerly, like a puppy waiting for guidance.
“…” Wei Shuo didn’t have the heart to brush him off anymore, and so said seriously, “Maybe you should call Uncle Lu and ask him what he’s thinking. Guessing on your own won’t get you anywhere.”
Shen Ci shook his head immediately. “I wouldn’t even know what to say…”
Helpless, Wei Shuo changed the topic. “Actually, I was sent by everyone else. You’ve been looking so down lately, and it’s been making us all feel bad.”
“We’re planning to go into town tonight. Wanna come? It might help take your mind off things.”
