Chapter 11: A Handsome Man With a Mouth
Ding!
The computer beeped.
Shi Ran opened it and saw there was a new email.
[I can buy the video, but I don’t want to see it anywhere else. Besides, I need confirmation of your purpose in doing this. Ray, the international hacker, doesn’t seem like the kind who will need this eight million.
-Zhou Yufan.]
Shi Ran raised her eyebrows.
She’d merely picked a random name. She didn’t expect it to be the name of an international hacker.
The character in this book had previously entered the entertainment industry for Zhou Yufan, so she was naturally working for the Zhou Corporation’s Tianxin Entertainment Company.
At that time, Zhou Yufan and Shi Wenfei were already together, so it was naturally impossible for them to support Shi Ran.
It shouldn’t have been difficult for the character to make a name for herself in the entertainment industry with her looks.
But in the end, not only did she not become famous, but she was also embroiled in all kinds of scandals.
Zhou Yufan and Shi Wenfei were naturally involved in them.
Shi Ran rested her chin on her hand as she gazed into the distance.
In her previous life, she had died in a plane crash on her way to the award ceremony.
Hence she hadn’t been able to get the Best Actress Award herself.
Having been reborn, she wanted to make up for the regrets of her previous life.
Therefore, she definitely can’t stay in Zhou Yufan’s company anymore.
However, there were still three years left in the contract. The termination fee was eight million yuan.
Hence, there was no reason for her to spare the lamb that had come crawling to her doorstep and offered itself for slaughter.
Her expression darkened as she typed on the keyboard.
[You don’t need to care who I am. Eight million in the account. Then, I can guarantee that no one but you has this video.]
About two hours later, her phone beeped.
The edges of her lips curved upwards.
Eight million had been transferred into the account.
The next step was to terminate the contract.
For the time being, she did not intend to let Zhou Yufan associate her with the person who sent the email.
Therefore, she could not directly suggest terminating the contract.
Just as she was thinking about how to terminate the contract, an unfamiliar call came in.
“Hello.” Her voice was casual and lazy.
“Hello, Shi Ran. I’m the president of Star City Entertainment, Qiu Yaohang.”
“I’ve followed the news online. I think you don’t intend to stay in Tianxin anymore, right? Why don’t you consider our Star City?”
The invitation from Star City Entertainment surprised Shi Ran.
After all, with her current reputation, it was difficult for any company to want to sign her over.
Moreover, Star City was a top entertainment company in the country.
She felt suspicious, but she agreed to meet them.
After hanging up, the other party sent the time and place directly.
[3.30 p.m. KT Group. Just tell the front desk you have an appointment with me.]
‘The KT Group?’
The name was not unfamiliar.
In ordinary novels, in order to show the loyalty and strength of the male and female leads, one or even more villains would be arranged.
And the KT Group was the company of the biggest villain in the book, Chu Jinchen.
In this book, Chu Jinchen was a business genius and the future heir of the number one family in the capital, the Chu family.
The KT Group was the Chu family’s business.
There was once when the female lead, Shi Wenfei, unintentionally offended a villain. The villain was vengeful and made the female lead suffer many times.
The male lead, Zhou Yufan, felt sorry for his lover, so he naturally went against the villain.
In the end, Zhou Yufan won.
However, this victory had nothing to do with Zhou Yufan’s strength.
It was because Chu Jinchen was dead.
That’s right, Chu Jinchen died at the age of thirty.
The reason was unclear as the book did not mention that much.
After Chu Jinchen passed away, Old Master Chu mourned too much and also left the world.
A great family thus gradually declined and was eventually swallowed up by the male protagonist, forming the male protagonist’s business empire.
Shi Ran couldn’t help but sigh.
According to the date and time, Chu Jinchen was 28 years old this year.
That meant there was only two years left for him to live.

KT Group President’s Office
“What do you think of my outfit? Do I look like a womanizer?”
Qiu Yaohang stood in front of the full-length mirror, wearing a dark green floral shirt.
He deliberately unbuttoned the top few buttons, revealing his smooth and muscular chest.
He had also changed his casual shorts into straight black pants.
His hair was also sprayed with gel, revealing a full forehead.
Those narrow peach blossom eyes were emitting electricity at his reflection in the mirror.
Seeing that Chu Jinchen did not answer him, Qiu Yaohang did not care and continued talking to himself.
“No woman would dislike handsome men. Although I’m very sure that she’ll join Star City, my good looks will also make our negotiation process more enjoyable.”
“Apart from anything else, a beauty of Shi Ran’s caliber is worthy of my deliberate grooming.”
“What do you think? Handsome enough?”
Qiu Yaohang brushed his hair back behind his forehead and looked flirtatiously at Chu Jinchen on the sofa.
Chu Jinchen sat casually. The combination of a white shirt and black pants made his shoulders look wide and his waist look narrow.
Together with the gold-framed glasses, his look made him look more like a ‘Gentlemen’.
In fact he looked like an elegant European noble prince.
His thin lips parted slightly. “Yes, like the top male host of the Jade Hunter nightclub.”
The Jade Hunter Nightclub was a famous male hostess club in the capital.
Qiu Yaohang was speechless.
Sigh!
Why did such a handsome man have to have a mouth?
Qiu Yaohang sat back on the sofa and took a sip of tea from the table.
“Why did you make me arrange to meet Shi Ran here?”
After caring about his look, Qiu Yaohang returned to gossiping.
Chu Jinchen held his head up and narrowed his black eyes under his glasses.
His lips curved, and his voice was coy. “To hold her responsible, of course.”
Qiu Yaohang’s eyes widened in shock.
Before he could ask further, the special assistant reported that Shi Ran had arrived.
Shi Ran walked in.
Although she was meeting the heads of other companies, she was still dressed in casual sportswear.
Compared to the elites walking in and out of the building who were all dressed in formal attire, she seemed out of place.
She looked around before meeting a pair of interested black eyes.
The man leaned against the black leather sofa limply. His skin was fairer and smoother than most girls.
The extreme contrast between black and white was even more impactful than the naked appearance in the bathtub last time.
So he’s Chu Jinchen?
Shi Ran narrowed her eyes.
So the man in the bathroom was the villain with a short longevity in the book.
Still maintaining her composure under the stares of the two men, she sat directly across from them.
“Get Miss Shi a cup of coffee,” Chu Jinchen instructed his special assistant lazily.
Shi Ran did not react much.
Instead, Qiu Yaohang started glancing at Chu Jinchen suspiciously.
Shi Ran was said to dislike coffee the most according to the information they had collected about her.
Presumably, Jinchen was deliberately probing to see if it’s true.
To avoid suspicion, he spoke first. “Miss Shi is in the limelight today. There’s something I’m curious about.”
Shi Ran looked straight at Qiu Yaohang with a calm expression.
Qiu Yaohang had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, “Miss Shi’s crisis management skills seem pretty good so why were you criticized so badly previously?”
“After all, we might be working together in the future so I have to understand this clearly.”
He added another sentence.
“Even rabbits bite when they’re anxious,” Shi Ran said.
“Actually, with Miss Shi’s appearance, it’s definitely a gift from the heavens. Signing you will definitely not be a loss.
But Miss Shi’s current reputation and popularity are not enough for Star City Entertainment to solve the problem of the termination fee.
But we can provide a lawyer for you. Miss Shi, do you have your termination fee ready?”
Shi Ran crossed her long legs and smiled.
She smiled seductively. “Doesn’t CEO Qiu already know?”
