After Mistakenly Binding The Matchmaker System

Chapter 40

How could Song Guxin have thought that it would be Mo Yanzhi who left traces on Li Shu? If he had known that Li Shu had climbed up to such a big shot, why would he care about President Zhao at all? One President Mo was worth a hundred President Zhaos.

Who was Mo Yanzhi? He was the youngest ever leader of the Mo family, the behind-the-scenes boss of Mo Lan Entertainment. Mo Lan Entertainment, a subsidiary of the Mo family, was backed by the Mo family and was known as one of the top three entertainment giants in the country alongside Huan Yu and Chen Xing Entertainment. It has produced numerous award-winning actors, actresses, and singers, and its star-making ability was evident.

Rumors had it that Mo Yanzhi was moody and ruthless, uninterested in women or men. Anyone who had ever attempted to climb into his bed had been dealt with harshly, without exception, even the popular stars from his own company have been said to be blacklisted.

What kind of luck did Li Shu have to gain this man’s favor?!

Song Guxin had heard a lot about this person’s methods. Thinking of what he just said, a cold sweat broke out. He wiped his forehead and cautiously glanced in the direction where the two were, his heart sinking.

Seeing the demeanor of the big shot, it was clear that he really liked Li Shu.

Mo Yanzhi was holding Li Shu and speaking. He had just parked his car and arrived a little later than Li Shu, only to see someone threatening Li Shu in the hallway. How could he tolerate anyone bullying his person?

“Who is this person bullying you?” Mo Yanzhi looked at the man standing opposite them with an unfriendly expression.

Song Guxin desperately winked at Li Shu, hoping he would help say something positive. Seeing how favored Li Shu was, if Mo Yanzhi really felt that he had bullied Li Shu, he would be doomed.

“He is my agent, Song Guxin, Brother Song.” Li Shu pushed the man’s arm away, and ignored Song Guxin’s winks.

“Agent?” Mo Yanzhi frowned. He could tell at a glance what kind of person Song Guxin was. Such a person was Li Shu’s agent…

While the young man slept soundly, he had already had someone check the young man’s identity and roughly knew that Li Shu was an artist who debuted nearly two years ago, with few works and low popularity. He was currently a star outside the 18th tier.

Indeed, under the management of such an agent, it was unlikely that he could get any good resources.

Under Mo Yanzhi’s cold gaze, Song Guxin broke out in a cold sweat. He wiped away the sweat and became even more respectful. “I am Xiao Li’s agent. President Mo, please rest assured, I will definitely take good care of him and not let anyone bully him.”

“Then what about just now…”

Mo Yanzhi’s unfinished words were understood by everyone.

“This, this, this agent also needs to know about the whereabouts of his own artist. Xiao Li didn’t return all night, and I was worried about his safety. I was a little anxious. I promise, such a situation will never happen again in the future. President Mo.”

“You know what to do in the future.” Mo Yanzhi didn’t want to talk more with him here. He would investigate the truth himself. The truth would be revealed once investigated.

“I know, I know, President Mo, rest assured, I will protect Xiao Li like the apple of my eye.” Song Guxin hurriedly assured him. If he could make this big shot remember him, wouldn’t there be more benefits in the future?

He still had a good script in his hands. He originally intended to give it to that kid Xiao He, but now, of course, he would prioritize Li Shu’s choice.

“Then I won’t disturb you two, hehe.” With the crisis temporarily resolved, Song Guxin did not linger any longer.

Mo Yanzhi rubbed Li Shu’s head. The young man’s hair was soft and smooth, and felt extremely good. He couldn’t help but rub it a few more times. “Rest well. Call me if you need anything.”

The number was already saved in Li Shu’s phone.

“Don’t think about leaving me. I don’t agree. Be good, hmm?”

Li Shu silently returned to the dormitory.

Mo Yanzhi watched him enter the house before turning and leaving.

“Brother Li is back.” The other two people in the same dormitory with him were there, one was playing games and the other was eating instant noodles.

Both of them were newcomers recruited this year. Li Shu was older than them, so they called him “Brother Li,” but there wasn’t necessarily much respect in it.

“I heard Brother Li went to a drinking party with Brother Song last night. How did it go?” The one playing games put down his phone, throwing out the question as if it were just casual conversation.

They were all very familiar with Song Guxin’s methods. A drinking party, no matter how well it was said, couldn’t cover up the dirty transactions inside. Having lived here for more than half a year, they still thought Li Shu was such a lofty person. Now, it seemed that he was no different from them.

“Xiao Song, speak less!” The one eating noodles put down the noodle box and scolded.

“Why shouldn’t I speak?” Xiao Song muttered a few words but didn’t dare to say anything more.

“Brother Li, this person is like this. Don’t take it to heart.” Gu Yuan, who had the most fame among the three, seemed to be implying that he was the leader among them.

Li Shu nodded to him and went straight back to the room.

After taking a hot shower and comfortably lying in bed, Li Shu asked, [Tell me, what’s going on in this world?]

Having fallen hard right at the start, Li Shu didn’t look too good.

Carefully observing Li Shu’s expression, 1314 didn’t dare to conceal anything and transmitted the organized information to the host.

This world was a bit different from the previous one, perhaps because they received too high ratings in the previous world, the mission difficulty had increased. Originally, the mission in this second world shouldn’t be too difficult, but once the host entered this small world, he had such a relationship with one of the male protagonists, making the development of the subsequent plot completely unpredictable.

Yes, one of the male protagonists. This small world originated from a melodramatic novel on wealth families. The protagonist shou was a newly debuted star who, due to being manipulated, got involved with Mo Lan Entertainment’s president, Mo Yanzhi. On one hand, the protagonist gong enjoyed being with the protagonist shou, but on the other hand, thought the protagonist shou was with those plotting against him. With a mix of love and hate, a twisted romance began.

This beginning seemed familiar. Yes, for some reason, once Li Shu was transported here, he replaced the protagonist shou in the plot and got entangled with the protagonist gong.

Seeing this, Li Shu’s mouth twitched. He resisted the urge to comment and continued reading.

Just this one night made the protagonist gong unable to forget the taste of the protagonist shou. After knowing that the protagonist shou was an artist under Mo Lan Entertainment, he wanted to use money and resources to keep him by his side. If the protagonist shou accepted, how could this story still be called bloody and melodramatic?

So of course the protagonist shou refused. Not only did he refuse, but he also scolded the protagonist gong sternly. The protagonist gong was used to everything going smoothly in his life, and had never experienced such a setback. In a fit of anger, he blocked all announcements related to the protagonist shou.

Then, he launched a series of aggressive means, vowing to make the protagonist shou stay by his side obediently. After a series of physically and emotionally abusive plots, the two finally made some progress in their relationship. However, just when things were getting better and the protagonist shou was gradually falling for the protagonist gong, there was a car accident. The protagonist gong lost his memory, remembering everything except anything related to the protagonist shou.

The protagonist gong’s family never approved of their relationship, so how could they miss such a good opportunity? With just a slight hint, the protagonist shou’s career, which had finally started to improve, fell to the bottom again.

Li Shu: “…”

Rubbing his forehead, Li Shu felt that this world was incomprehensible, really a series of bloody plots. In one story, there were several bloody clichés like obstruction from female supporting characters, villains causing trouble, family members obstructing, forgetting each other etc.

[Host, this isn’t the world I chose,] 1314 quickly defended itself, [I originally selected another world, but I don’t know how we ended up here.]

The higher the completion level of the mission, the greater the right to select the next mission world. In their previous mission, they were rated “S,” and there were several mission worlds to choose from. It took a lot of effort for 1314 to select one, but unexpectedly, there was an error during the transfer. It was quite depressed thinking about.

[The original plot of this world is like this,] 1314 also felt helpless, [But, Host, what should we do next?]

Its host was very powerful, he completely derailes the original plot right from the start. It was unknown where the protagonist shou was, and it seemed that the protagonist gong of this world had fallen for the host again. Thinking about what the protagonist gong had done in the original plot, 1314 suddenly shuddered.

If the protagonist gong really used those means to suppress the host, just imagining that scene made 1314 bald, even though it didn’t have any hair to lose.

Its concern wasn’t about the powerful host but rather about the protagonist gong, who was constantly teetering on the edge of death.

[By the way, Host, something in this world doesn’t seem right. It’s as if it’s been forcibly patched together by someone. The world barrier is very fragile, and there are many small and large holes. The world consciousness also seems to be missing, and I haven’t been able to contact it upto now.]

1314 was just a little worried. Even though the world consciousness was missing, the protagonist gong, who was closely linked to it, was fine. Logically, there shouldn’t be any problems, but despite searching the entire small world, it couldn’t find any trace of the world consciousness.

It shouldn’t be like this.

1314 was still worried when the phone rang suddenly. Li Shu picked it up, and it was the original owner’s mother.

The call connected, and the original owner’s mother’s kind voice came from the phone.

“Shu Shu, why did you send money again? Take care of yourself. Your dad can work in the fields now, and I’ve found some work too. We can manage here. Save the money you earned for yourself, be good.”

“Mom, it’s okay. I have money. Don’t worry about me. Buy something good for dad.” Li Shu tried to imitate the original owner’s tone.

“Why are you so stubborn? You sent back such a large sum of money. What will you do?” Mother Li felt heartbroken. Her son was only twenty years old. If it weren’t for them holding him back, how could he have come out to struggle at such a young age?

Two years ago, Father Li had a car accident while delivering goods, and was seriously injured and fell into a coma. This made the originally not well-off family even more difficult. To reduce the family’s burden, the original owner came out to work and make money while studying. It was then that he happened to be noticed by Song Guxin. Song Guxin was attracted to the original owner at first sight because of his appearance and lured him into the entertainment circle.

The original owner stumbled in the entertainment circle for two years. Because he refused to accept Song Guxin’s “arrangements,” he was deliberately ignored by Song Guxin. Apart from the fans he barely attracted at the beginning, he was basically ignored later on.

This time, Zhao, the head of Jianing Media, noticed him because of a dance practice video. Song Guxin happened to get the news and thought it was a good opportunity, so he contacted President Zhao through acquaintances in the industry.

President Zhao was eager to have him and understood Song Guxin’s hint. There was no reason not to agree. He set a trap and asked Song Guxin to bring the original owner over.

Although Jianing Media was not as big as companies like Mo Lan, its scale was not small either, and President Zhao had always been generous. Even though things hadn’t been settled yet, he had already given Song Guxin several resources, which was the main reason why Song Guxin was tempted.

With great benefits, even if there was a little risk, it was worth it.

Song Guxin knew the personality of the original owner so he repeatedly assured him at the beginning that they were just going to have a meal and nothing else, and the original owner believed him. This was because although Song Guxin had the intention of asking him to accompany people, after his firm rejection, he didn’t really force him to do anything. It’s just that originally not forcing him was because the benefits that could be obtained weren’t large enough.

Just like knowing he had climbed Mo Yanzhi’s tree, who cared about President Zhao or whoever, how could the benefits brought by Mo Yanzhi be compared to mere Zhao?

———————–

After going back, Mo Yanzhi stood in front of the floor to ceiling window, thought for a moment, and called Mo Lan’s president, Shen Yu.

“How come the busy person has time to call me now? Hmm, don’t say anything first, let me guess, which star has annoyed you again this time? Tell me, what do you want to do this time, freeze them? Or terminate the contract directly?” Shen Yu’s slightly amused voice came through the phone.

Judging by this familiar tone, one could tell that he had done this many times before.

“Is it that I only contact you for such matters?” Mo Yanzhi asked with a dark face, gritting his teeth.

“Isn’t it? Let me think, three months ago it was Yu Yingshu, five months ago it was…”

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the other side, “Shen Yu!”

“Alright, alright, let’s talk about business, let’s talk about business,” Shen Yu surrendered, “which big production do you want to invest in, or…”

Mo Yanzhi couldn’t help but interrupt him again, “None of that!”

This time, he didn’t give Shen Yu a chance to speak, and said very quickly, “Help me check a person, his name is Li Shu.”

“No way, Mr. Big Boss, how can I check if you just give me a name? At least tell me the age and gender, or a photo would be fine,” After mourning, Shen Yu turned into a gossipy tone, “Wait a minute, why are you looking for this person? Did he provoke you?”

But listening to the tone, it didn’t sound like he was angry with someone.

“He’s an artist under Mo, probably in his twenties, male, about 1.8 meters tall, with light chestnut hair,” as if knowing what his friend was going to say, Mo Yanzhi added, “Be detailed in your search, and also, get him a more reliable agent. I think Qin Ran is good, and don’t let him know I’m involved.”

Qin Ran was Mo Lan’s top agent. The top agent who had brought out two Best Actors and two Best Actresses, was just reliable in his friend’s eyes. Shen Yu smiled. He was about to say something, but the other side had already hung up the phone.

Shen Yu shook his head helplessly and helplessly went to carry out the orders of the big boss.

However, there was a bit more curiosity in his heart about the artist named Li Shu. He had known Mo Yanzhi for many years and had never seen him speak with such a gentle tone when mentioning someone. Hmm, it seems he should find an opportunity to meet this person.

When Li Shu learned that President Shen, Mo Lan’s President, wanted to meet him alone, he was somewhat puzzled. But it was President Shen’s secretary who came to pick him up, so it shouldn’t be a lie.

However, why would President Shen suddenly look for him?
