Chapter 30: Deciding on a Manager

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the president’s office.

Shi Qianduo knocked on the door and pushed it open without waiting for the person inside to answer. Of course, she had to act as an arrogant lady to the end.

Shen Deshun was signing some documents at that moment. When he saw Shi Qianduo, he did not show any disdain or anger at her sudden intrusion. Instead, he said with a gentle expression, “Qianduo, you’re here. Have a seat.”

Shi Qianduo sat down and looked at the man who stood up and walked over.

Shen Deshun was 29 years old this year. In Shi Qianduo’s mind, he had always been a gentle and refined man. Just by looking at his appearance, one would never think that he was an extremely evil and unscrupulous person.

While Shi Qianduo was still in a daze, Shen Deshun had already brought her a slightly cold bottle of taro grape juice.

“I remember that you used to like drinking this.” Shen Deshun said gently when he saw that she did not drink.

“You said it was in the past, but I don’t like it anymore.” Shi Qianduo did not expect Shen Deshun to remember that. However, she was really not feeling well today and did not want a cold drink.

Shen Deshun went straight to the point, “I heard from Yuxue that you just got casted for Yang Fan’s ‘Sea Demon Princess’. To be able to act in Yang Fan’s movie, this is a very good opportunity. However, this industry is more complicated than you think. Without a good manager, you will be in trouble. You know Gong Lan, right? She’s a famous manager who is capable, so I’ll let her take care of you. As for your assistant, the company has recruited a few new people, so you can choose a few that you like.”

Shen Deshun’s expression was gentle when he said this, but he had no intention of discussing it with Shi Qianduo.

If Shi Qianduo was still the innocent girl from back then, she might have accepted it gratefully. She patiently waited for Shen Deshun to finish his sentence and smiled gently, “An assistant is responsible for taking care of the artiste’s daily needs, so I’ll just get Mama Song’s daughter. We grew up together, and she’s the one who knows me best. I’m afraid I won’t be used to other people, so I can’t be bothered to get used to them. As for my manager, I’m a newbie, so I won’t trouble sister Gong Lan. I know she’s busy, so I chose a manager for myself.”

“Who is it?” Shen Deshun raised his eyebrows in surprise. He knew all the managers in the company the best. Other than Gong Lan, who would dare to take on Shi Qianduo, this ‘hot potato’? Even if there were really some who were muddled and dared to accept, he would be able to do something about it. After all, with Gong Lan’s ability, no one could compete with her except for Wu Qintong.

Just as Shen Deshun was deep in thought, someone knocked on his office door again. He subconsciously said, “Enter.”

Then, Wu Qintong came in.

“Is there something you needed?” Shen Deshun remembered that he did not call Wu Qintong over.

However, before Wu Qintong could speak, Shi Qianduo said, “Of course there is. Wu Qintong has already agreed to be my manager, so I’ll leave my matters to her in the future.”

Shen Deshun looked at Shi Qianduo absently and was silent for a moment. He smiled and said, “The little girl from back then has really grown up.” Shi Qianduo had obviously come prepared today. The little girl in his memory could no longer be manipulated by others like before.

“Of course I’ve grown up. I’m already nineteen. You can discuss the other things with sister Qintong. I’m meeting a friend to get my nails done.” After Shi Qianduo finished speaking, she left with a smile.

Wu Qintong had only come over to express her attitude before she left as well.

There was a brief silence in the huge office.

Shen Deshun leaned back on the sofa and muttered to himself, “The entertainment industry is a big vat of dye. It doesn’t suit you at all. Why did you have to jump in…” He sighed silently, then took out his phone and sent a text.

On the other side, Shen Yuxue put down her phone, and her expression was very ugly.

“What’s wrong? Did something happen on your uncle’s side?” Shen Liuchun said anxiously.

However, before Shen Yuxue could answer, Shen Kaiqi said, “Gong Lan is a top manager, why would Shi Qianduo reject her? She should be overjoyed instead. If she fell into Gong Lan’s hands and no longer had a chance to shine, would she still want to be a celebrity like her big sister? Why don’t she take a look in the mirror and see if she’s worthy? She’s a slut…”

“You shut up!” Shen Liuchun could tell that something was amiss the moment she saw her elder daughter’s expression. However, her younger daughter seemed to have no brains and was still feeling smug.

Sure enough, Shen Yuxue threw down her phone and said helplessly, “Wu Qintong became Shi Qianduo’s manager.”

“How could that be?” Shen Liuchun asked in shock. This Wu Qintong had always been a neutral party. In the past, Shen Deshun also wanted to rope her in, but he never got his wish. Shi Qianduo actually managed to recruit her?
