You are all bad women! Don't come over!-Chapter 537 - 518

On the way back to the company, Fei Yumo hummed a song lightly, the afternoon sun glaringly bright. She sat in the car, rolling the window down slightly.

"Be careful not to be seen, we're still in the city," said the assistant woman driving, with a smile.

"It's fine, let them recognize me if they do," Fei Yumo stretched out her arms, her laughter like the sound of wind chimes.

The assistant shook her head with a smile, knowing that Fei Yumo was speaking nonsense, but she didn't want to spoil her rare good mood.

As one of Fei Yumo's closest people, no one understood better than she the immense pressure Fei Yumo had been under lately.

But there was no solution, was there? It was an experience almost everyone had to go through. For people like them with no background, getting this far was already pushing the limits. To go further, some "sacrifices" had to be made.

She must have come to terms with it herself; this was how the world worked. Inviolable, irrepressible.

The ring of the phone broke the silence, and Fei Yumo looked at the caller ID—"Yao Dog"—and chuckled before turning on the speakerphone.

"Happy holidays, Yumo."

The caller's smirking voice filled the car, causing the assistant to frown subconsciously.

"Happy holidays, Mr. Yao!" Fei Yumo responded cheerfully.

Mr. Yao was the general manager of Fei Yumo's company and one of the major shareholders, one of the top three figures with real power in the company.

"Yumo seems in a good mood."

"Yes, thanks to the half-day off you gave me."

"Are you complaining that I gave too little vacation time?"

Mr. Yao detected the sarcastic tone in Fei Yumo's words but wasn't offended. Instead, he seemed to tease her like a cat playing with a mouse.

Fei Yumo laughed coldly, "How could I? Mr. Yao, I'm truly grateful for the half-day off you've granted me today!"

"There's no need to thank me, thank the company," Mr. Yao happily accepted her backhanded compliment, "You are an outstanding talent at our company which is very humane!"

Fei Yumo hummed in response, "If the company is so humane, then I must repay it with my utmost loyalty and effort, to the point of death!"

"No need to die for us, we're a serious company, haha," Mr. Yao shifted the topic, "But Yumo, you still have to do your work, I'm sure you understand that."

"Hehe, of course, I've brought the company quite a bit of profit in these last two years, haven't I?"

Mr. Yao spoke with a deeper implication, "Indeed, the company and the artists accomplish each other. The company is our family, and each of us needs to contribute."

Fei Yumo's voice dripped with irony, "Yes, and so Mr. Yao must work even harder and contribute even more to the company!"

"I've always been working hard for the company, of course. But, Yumo, sometimes my efforts alone are not enough. You understand, right? Zhao Junior has been waiting for you for a long time, he's been wanting to invite you to dinner alone, but you always decline. It's not wrong for a girl to be reserved, and Zhao Junior can understand that. But constantly rejecting him is like disrespecting him, and he's starting to say you don't show proper respect!"

Fei Yumo's tone turned frigid, "Just having a meal is nothing, but I'm afraid there might be other arrangements at night."

"That's your young people's business, isn't it? Zhao Junior is young and wealthy. Would dining with him really demean you? You do know about the power and influence of the Zhao Family, right? I recall your hometown is Yu Huai, isn't it?"

Mr. Yao reminded Fei Yumo, already impatient inside.

Self-righteous bitch, just a stroke of luck plus a pretty face, and you actually think you're a phoenix?

Time and again, she rebuffed the company's arrangements, which already gave her enough face! If it weren't because she was a hot first-tier celebrity, bringing in substantial revenue for the company, how could they have tolerated her until now?

But this was the limit, the company absolutely couldn't tolerate such a disobedient artist anymore.

Actually, he had seen plenty like Fei Yumo before, always starting off thinking they were better than everyone else, believing they were unblemished despite the mire... but in the end, how many could escape?

"It's not that I feel insulted, but this frail woman's modesty really dares not sully the eyes of young master Zhao..."

Fei Yumo started laughing, her tone still light and cheerful.

"Fei Yumo!" President Yao was infuriated by her indifferent attitude, "Don't think that..."

Fei Yumo casually interrupted, "Actually, I'm quite willing to follow the company's directives."

President Yao was momentarily stunned, then overjoyed, "Great, great! I knew our Yumo is a good kid who thinks of the big picture. Then I'll get back to young master Zhao right now..."

"Although I really am willing, but..." Fei Yumo's lips curled up, "I think my boyfriend probably wouldn't like me to go."

The assistant instinctively hit the brakes hard, stopping just at the red light. She turned around in shock; when did she get a boyfriend?

"You have a boyfriend?" Knowing he had been played again, President Yao was livid, yelling without regard for his image, "Do you know the rules? You're violating the company's policy!"

"It doesn't matter, you can announce it to the public, just say Fei Yumo has a man now. Anyway, I'm fine with it!" Fei Yumo giggled non-stop.

President Yao was now fully enraged, almost roaring, "Hmph, I don't care what your boyfriend is! As for young master Zhao, whether you like it or not, you'll have to go!"

"Then I'll just tell my boyfriend Shen Mochen that his girlfriend is being forced by the company to sleep with another man, and can't stay chaste for him anymore, boohoo..."

President Yao's breath hitched, and he was dumbstruck.

Fei Yumo felt she had played enough, and her gloomy mood from the past few days was swept away. This feeling was just too refreshing!

"You, whom did you say?" President Yao muttered to himself, his voice tinged with a hint of fear.

"Shen Mochen, don't you know him?" Fei Yumo's eyes shaped like crescent moons with her smile.

The assistant in the driver's seat was also astounded, and didn't even notice the green light until the honking horns behind them.

"You, how could you... Oh, you interviewed him before..." President Yao mumbled to himself.

Fei Yumo, listening to the panic on the other end of the phone, felt even more thrilled. All this acting wasn't in vain! You thought you had everything under control, didn't you? This is the cat playing with the mouse!

Who didn't know the name Shen Mochen, resounding like thunder? But compared to the general public, people in the entertainment industry understood Shen Mochen even more deeply.

You see, since Shen Mochen "debuted," how much traffic did he steal? How many people harbored secret grievances against him? But why was he always scandal-free?

Because from the beginning, an order was passed to all entertainment companies and marketing agencies in the nation, the harshest command forbidding any power from spreading or fabricating any malicious rumors about Shen Mochen! Those who fanned the flames included – anyone who dared tarnish Shen Mochen's image in the slightest would face the harshest punishment, no matter who they were!

It's not like the officials hadn't endorsed celebrities before, but never with such focus, as if he were Yupi's crown prince.

The officials deployed the most powerful machinery to protect him, invulnerable to gods and ghosts alike.
