Feeling rather irritable, Leng Rui lit a cigarette and started to smoke. Without waiting for Leng Ziyue to continue speaking, he asked, “What brings you here?”

Only then did Leng Ziyue remember the main business that had brought him here. He calmed his mind and said, “Dad, I want to sign Qiqi under Galaxy Music Entertainment Co. Now that Qiqi is quite popular, it would be even better if she has a company that specially focuses on promoting her.

“Qiqi has great potential. The company has nothing to lose so long as it’s willing to spend resources on promoting her.”

Leng Ziyue managed Galaxy Films and had no say in matters over at Galaxy Music Entertainment Co.

He could still put in a word and make Galaxy Music Entertainment Co. sign Lu Qi as a singer under the company. It was just that the resulting effect wouldn’t be as good as the effect Leng Rui’s word had.

One word from Leng Rui could make Lu Qi’s value skyrocket, and the company would definitely do its very best to promote her.

“Who is she?”

Leng Ziyue was speechless. But still, he replied, “She’s my girlfriend.”

Leng Rui raised a brow and casually said, “Then just see to the arrangements yourself.

“If you can’t even get something as trivial as this done, then you can wash your hands of Galaxy Films.” Just as Leng Ziyue was about to try to fight for something else, Leng Rui’s words made him stop talking.

Leng Ziyue looked helplessly at Leng Rui and said, “Dad, if you put in a word for…”

“This is your woman; what business is it of mine?” Leng Yue said, once again cutting Leng Ziyue off. He went on to say, “You want to make some woman popular, but you still need an old man like me to pave the way for you? Is that all you’re capable of?”

Leng Rui stubbed out his cigarette, then casually tossed the butt into the ashtray and walked out of the study room.

“Dad, that woman is just a social climber…”

The moment Leng Rui turned back around, his sharp gaze fell on Leng Ziyue, who found that the words he wanted to say were now stuck in his throat.

Did his father seem a little upset with him?

Leng Ziyue tousled his hair in annoyance. He hadn’t achieved his goal, and in the end, he could only leave the villa in silence. He didn’t even entertain the thought of spending the night in the villa lest he heard any noise, which would probably make him feel so suffocated that he might be better off dying.

Even now, when he didn’t hear anything, he was already suffocated enough.

“It’s the third song already.”

Tang Guo looked at Leng Rui, who was leaning against the headboard of his bed while smoking a cigarette, and asked, “Leng Rui, when are you going to sleep?”

Leng Rui threw the unfinished cigarette into the ashtray, his sharp eyes falling on the woman’s fair-skinned face. Her face was pink and rosy, and with her watery eyes, which were so full of life, it was really very attractive.

He narrowed his eyes as he thought to himself. A woman like this… even if she were to move out of his villa in the future, there would still be countless men willing to give her career a boost.

“Leng Rui, have you changed your mind? Do you want to do something else other than listening to songs?”

Leng Rui had yet to react, and the woman’s hands had found a place on either side of him. There was no stopping the fragrance coming from her. It simply suffused the air around him, permeating his surroundings.

A little fox.

A charming, pleasing woman.

“Tomorrow’s the finals?”

Tang Guo sat back down in her chair and responded with a “hmm.” She sounded a little glum, as if she were upset he didn’t have any other thoughts on his mind.

Leng Rui was dumbfounded, and he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. This woman was really driven by her lustful desires, which knew no boundaries.

“You’ve been at the villa for over half a month,” Leng Rui said, his tone growing somewhat colder. “No other woman has ever stayed here for more than a month.”

Tang Guo held her face in both hands and blinked, then asked, “So, what are you trying to say?”

“You’ve done pretty well during these last few weeks,” Leng Rui said as he took out a contract, as well as a property ownership certificate, from a drawer beside him. He went on to say, “This is the latest contract that Galaxy Music Entertainment Co. is offering you. I’m also giving you a villa. These are your rewards.”

Right from the very beginning, Leng Rui had no intention of letting this woman stay in the villa for more than a month. And he wouldn’t make an exception for her.

Especially when this woman was about to break through his bottom line.
