The CEO Wants to Flirt with You (GL) - Chapter 3
Chapter 3
At the entrance of Shengjin Entertainment Company, a rare crowd of paparazzi gathered, all hoping to get something out of Xiao Mo’s mouth.
When the photos were exposed, Gong Nan happened to be on a plane to Paris and knew nothing about the scandal of her kissing Xiao Mo. However, people in the industry didn’t think so. They all believed that Gong Nan had received the news in advance, knew that such a big scandal was about to break, and deliberately hid abroad.
Gong Nan was gone, but the other protagonist, Xiao Mo, was still here. All the paparazzi who wanted to get concrete information turned their attention to Xiao Mo. A huge crowd of them rushed to the company’s entrance. If the security guards hadn’t been there to stop them, they would have already rushed into the building.
As a minor celebrity, Xiao Mo went to the company every day like a regular office worker, all for the free lunch the company provided. Today was no exception.
“Xiao Mo, you’re going to be famous, do you know that!”宗萱 was scrolling through Weibo when she saw the photos of Xiao Mo and Gong Nan kissing. She was so excited that she slapped the table, shoved her phone in front of Xiao Mo, and excitedly talked about all the things that would happen once Xiao Mo became famous.
As long as they got attention, they could start getting small advertisements! The price for a small ad ranged from 10,000 to 30,000 yuan. Getting one ad would cover their living expenses for several months!
It’s said that a general has the soldiers he deserves. Chu Yanqing had no ambition, and her artists never thought about becoming first-tier celebrities. As long as they could occasionally get a small ad, they were satisfied. Think about it, they could earn money by simply posting a small ad on Weibo. Although they didn’t make much, it was much easier than filming TV shows or movies.
They had to seize this moment while they were in the spotlight and quickly get some small ads! The last XX cosmetic company had a new facial mask and was said to be looking for internet celebrities to promote it. This was the perfect opportunity to grab this ad while they had the attention!
Zong Xuan spoke with great enthusiasm, completely oblivious to the worried expression on Xiao Mo’s face after she saw the photos.
Xiao Mo’s real name was Xiao Yunmu. Like Gong Nan, she was a graduate of the H City Academy of Drama.
While in school, Gong Nan played various small, supporting roles in TV shows and movies. In her senior year, she unexpectedly landed a role in a film by renowned director Xie Chengrui. Fortunately, she caught Director Xie’s eye, and with a stroke of his pen, her small role was changed to a supporting female role.
Fate is so amazing. That one supporting role made Gong Nan a household name overnight. After two years of hard work, she was now a first-tier celebrity.
Xiao Mo, on the other hand, was still an unknown artist. Calling her an artist was even a stretch.
But this insignificant artist was in love with a first-tier celebrity.
By their count, they had been in love for four years. For four years, from college students to artists, they had protected their relationship, but they didn’t expect to be caught by the paparazzi.
“Hey, Xiao Mo, are you listening to me?” After she finished speaking, Zong Xuan realized that Xiao Mo had been spacing out. She nudged her and said, “What are you thinking about, little Mo Mo? I just said so much, and you didn’t hear a single word!” 宗萱 looked at Xiao Mo with disappointment, wishing that she was the one with the scandal…
Wait, how did Xiao Mo get involved with Gong Nan?
Zong Xuan, who had been engrossed in the joy of getting small ads, now remembered to ask Xiao Mo what her relationship with Gong Nan was and how they were caught kissing.
It was just her and Xiao Mo in the lounge.Zong Xuan cautiously looked around, then leaned in close to Xiao Mo, and in a voice only the two of them could hear, she said, “Little Mo Mo, tell your sister the truth. What’s your relationship with Gong Nan? Gong Nan is a first-tier celebrity, and I heard she’s preparing to star in Director Xie’s new film, ‘Love Heist.’ How did you hook up with her?” When she mentioned Director Xie, Zong Xuan’s eyes lit up. If she could also star in one of Director Xie’s films, she could definitely become a first-tier celebrity too!
But being a first-tier celebrity was too tiring. It was also nice to be a minor artist or a small internet celebrity like this, as long as she could make enough money to not starve.
Xiao Mo resisted the pain in her heart and denied it, “I don’t know her. I stayed at home yesterday. That person isn’t me.” With her current status, how could she possibly know Gong Nan or be in love with her? If this matter was confirmed to be true, Gong Nan’s career would probably be ruined…
Zong Xuan nodded, “You’re right. How could a minor artist like us know a big celebrity like Gong Nan!” She raised her fist indignantly and said, “It must be photoshopped by those paparazzi! They have no integrity or morals just to get attention!” Those paparazzi were not shy about slandering female artists.
She then thought of Gong Nan starring in the movie ‘Love Heist.’ Could this be a publicity stunt orchestrated by Gong Nan’s management company? They would use an unknown artist to create hype, and if something uncontrollable happened, they would make the small artist take the blame.
“Little Mo Mo, there’s something your sister doesn’t know whether to say or not…” Zong Xuan looked at Xiao Mo with concern.
Xiao Mo returned the phone to Zong Xuan, “Then don’t say it.” She didn’t want to hear anything right now.
“Manager Gu, Xiao Mo is inside.” The expressionless Ji Yan actually showed a faint smile toward Gu Ying, which Chu Yanqing found particularly grating.
What was so great about Gu Ying that Ji Yan was smiling at her? Ji Yan had been with her for half a year, and she had smiled at her a handful of times. But as soon as Gu Ying arrived, Ji Yan smiled at her!
Chu Yanqing curiously sized up Gu Ying. She didn’t see anything special about her. If she had to say something special, it was that she dared to mock her. Could Ji Yan be into this kind of woman? She had accidentally found out that Ji Yan liked women, but liking a woman like Gu Ying was a unique taste…
Chu Yanqing, who was following behind Gu Ying and Ji Yan, couldn’t help but let her imagination run wild as she watched their every move.
Gu Ying glanced at Chu Yanqing and pushed the door open, walking in.
The two people who were talking inside fell silent as soon as they heard the door open. When they saw the unfamiliar Gu Ying enter, 宗萱’s brows furrowed. She said with a disgusted look, “Who are you? No unauthorized personnel allowed in here!” This lounge was specifically for artists to rest. Other people from the company could occasionally come in to rest, but the Gu Ying in front of her was neither an artist nor a company employee. How could she be allowed in!
“She’s the new public relations manager.” Ji Yan, who had entered behind Gu Ying, returned to her expressionless face and coldly introduced Gu Ying’s identity.
The perpetually expressionless face belonged to Ji Yan, the president’s personal secretary!
Ji Yan’s authority in the company was higher than President Chu’s. Of the ten things the president said, only one was true. But what Ji Yan said… if she said it, it was all true!
In everyone’s impression, Ji Yan rarely spoke, but when she did, she was serious. If she said Gu Ying was the new public relations manager, then she must be the public relations manager! Even if Ji Yan said Gu Ying was the new president, they would believe it without a doubt.
“Sorry, sorry, I didn’t know you were the new public relations manager.” Zong Xuan instantly put on a smile and enthusiastically introduced herself, “Hello, Manager. My name is Zong Xuan, and I’m an artist at the company. I’m twenty-six years old…”Zong Xuan, who was about to introduce herself more, saw Ji Yan’s face turn serious and quickly said, “Uh, I just remembered I have a training session to attend. I’ll introduce myself properly next time I have a chance, Manager!”
Before she could leave, she bumped into Chu Yanqing.
Zong Xuan gasped. When she saw that it was President Chu, her eyes instantly filled with resentment. President Chu, your little secretary has become someone else’s secretary! And she was just being mean to me a moment ago!
But Ji Yan was right behind her, so she didn’t dare to say it out loud. She could only look at President Chu pitifully, hoping that President Chu would understand her inner feelings from her eyes and then comfort her with money or a bag or something…
Unfortunately, President Chu didn’t see anything.
Chu Yanqing didn’t tease or pamper her like she used to. Instead, she coldly pushed her away and said, “You go out first. We have something to do right now.” She wanted to see what Gu Ying was doing with Xiao Mo! Was the public relations manager truly capable or just a fraud?
President Chu, don’t you love your precious darling Xuan Xuan anymore? Zong Xuan blinked her eyes and looked at Chu Yanqing as if on the verge of tears. Oh my God, President Chu didn’t love her anymore. How was she going to live? Who was she going to ask for living expenses when she ran out?
Looking at the pitiful gaze, Chu Yanqing felt a pang of heartache. She lowered her voice and said, “Be good, you go out first. I’ll come find you after I’m done.” After hearing this, Zong Xuan felt relieved and left the lounge.
Gu Ying sized up Xiao Mo. She had delicate features and light makeup, but she still looked clean and pure. Her clear eyes made it hard to believe she was a female artist.
If Xiao Mo was given a chance, she could definitely become famous.
“Hello, Manager. My name is Xiao Mo.” Xiao Mo looked at Gu Ying and introduced herself plainly, completely different from Zong Xuan’s enthusiasm.
Gu Ying nodded and turned to Ji Yan, saying, “Ji Yan, I just came to Shengjin and don’t have an office yet. Please prepare one for me.” Asking Ji Yan to prepare an office at this moment was clearly a way to get rid of her.
Ji Yan looked at her without any expression. When Gu Ying saw this, the corners of her mouth turned up. She smiled faintly and said, “I want to talk to Xiao Mo alone.” After hearing the real reason, Ji Yan turned and left.
Talk alone? Does that mean she also had to leave? Chu Yanqing hesitated as she looked at Gu Ying. Just as she was about to walk toward Gu Ying, she heard her say, “President Chu, you stay.” Her commanding demeanor was more presidential than the president’s.
You want me to stay, but I won’t! Chu Yanqing glanced at Gu Ying, turned around, and left without hesitation.
As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Tian Ping, the head of security, pacing anxiously outside her office door. He stopped when she approached.
“President Chu, you’re finally here! There’s a bunch of reporters blocking the entrance, carrying their big cameras and waiting to take pictures of… that… that…” He gestured for a long time before he finally said, “That Xiao Mo!” He, the head of security, couldn’t even remember the names of these female artists in the company, let alone the general public.
“Let them block it!” Chu Yanqing raised an eyebrow indifferently, pushed open her office door, and turned to Tian Ping, who was still standing at the door. “As long as they don’t enter the company, they can block the entrance for as long as they want.” She slammed the door shut.
Chu Yanqing slumped onto the sofa, thinking about the events that had just happened. Suddenly, she sat up with a rustle. “You’re a clever one, Gu Ying. You’re playing hard to get with me. Let’s see how I’ll deal with you!”
Just as she was about to go to the lounge to find Gu Ying, she opened the door and saw Gu Ying and Ji Yan walking toward her.
Gu Ying glanced at Chu Yanqing, who was standing at the door, and called out, not too loudly or too softly, “President Chu.” She walked straight past her.
Chu Yanqing’s eyebrows furrowed. She turned to Ji Yan and asked, “Ji Yan, what’s going on?”
Ji Yan’s gaze followed Gu Ying’s retreating figure. When she heard President Chu ask her a question, she turned and replied, “President Chu, Manager Gu’s office will be next to yours from now on.”
Her office is next to hers? When Chu Yanqing heard this, she almost exploded. Ji Yan, what are you thinking! You’re putting Gu Ying’s office next to hers! Are you trying to piss her off on purpose?!
Gu Ying walked into the office, sat down in the boss’s chair, and was just sizing up her new office when she heard the door slam shut heavily. This was followed by the clicking sound of high heels, as arrogant as the owner of the shoes.
“Is President Chu here to see my new office?” Gu Ying looked up at Chu Yanqing, squinted, and asked, “Why aren’t you going to see that little artist?” She had heard everything Chu Yanqing had whispered to Zong Xuan.
Chu Yanqing propped her hands on the table and looked at the cold and detached Gu Ying. A thought flashed through her mind, and she blurted out, “Gu Ying, do you believe that I can make you fall in love with me?” After she said it, she realized what she had said. She looked at Gu Ying in shock, but all she saw was a look of disdain.
“Heh, go on and try.” Gu Ying spread her hands, completely unfazed. Before she came, she had asked about all of Chu Yanqing’s habits. Besides knowing how to flirt with women, she had no other skills.
Flirting with her? Heh, if she made a move, she didn’t know if she could be flirted with! She wasn’t called a public relations manager for nothing…
Once the words were out, they couldn’t be taken back.
Chu Yanqing looked at Gu Ying. Gu Ying was good-looking, so flirting with her wouldn’t be a loss! With that in mind, she made up her mind to win Gu Ying over within a week.
The corners of her lips curled up. She stood up straight, intending to show a good impression of being serious and responsible. She smiled and asked, “By the way, what did you talk about with Xiao Mo?” As soon as she said this, she heard a barely audible sigh.
