Shut Up

The people at the doorway entered the room. They came from the same company.

"Chairman Shen, you're early!" Liu Xin greeted her with a wide grin. She was the manager of the female lead, Shen Ruoning.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Screenwriter Shen." Ma Huanshan, the manager of the male lead, He Pei, stood up and offered to seat her.

The rest of the people, except for the big boss Yuan Yu, greeted Shen Xi politely.

Gao Meng was stunned by what she saw.

If not for this young lady's beauty and attitude, she would not have picked on the wrong person!

She was doomed and her career was over. She had offended the boss and the screenwriter!

Gao Meng's manager, Huang Miao called her and introduced her to Shen Xi, "Meng Meng, come here, this is our company's Chairman Shen and the screenwriter of 'The Smiling Nation'."

Gao Meng gulped and regarded Shen Xi.

Shen Xi scanned her in an unfriendly manner.

Gao Meng trembled in fear. Damn, the girl was terrifying despite her age. It was true that those who could accomplish great things were extraordinary people.

Yuan Yu eyed Shen Xi with a smile and whispered, "Why the long face, Chairman Shen? Who bothered you?"

Shen Xi returned a nonchalant smile. It was time for her to assert dominance, so she replied in a voice clear and loud enough for everyone in the room to hear, "I came across an insignificant thing. To be honest, it's not worth getting angry over."

Gao Meng was shaking in fright. She relaxed when Shen Xi did not reveal her name. "I've heard that our company's Lil Chairman Shen and screenwriter is a pretty young lady. She's a force to be reckoned with and a genius. Seeing is believing, indeed!"

Shen Xi answered, "You flatter me, I'm not worthy of such compliments."

Gao Meng smiled sheepishly. "I'm not flattering you. You're indeed brilliant."

Shen Xi smiled coldly. 

Yuan Yu and the rest of the people were no strangers to social situations. All of them sensed there was something fishy going on between Gao Meng and Lil Chairman Shen!

Some people knew Shen Xi and some did not.

After getting acquainted with one another, Shen Xi said a few words, and then Yuan Yu called for the dishes to be served.

Throughout the meal, Gao Meng kept serving food to Shen Xi and offered to peel the prawns and remove bones from the fish for her. She kept calling her "Chairman Shen" in an affectionate manner.

Yuan Yu glanced at her manager, Huang Miao. 'What's going on?'

Huang Miao shook her head. 'I don't know!'

Gao Meng was forward and hot-headed. Did she offend Lil Chairman Shen?

However, Lil Chairman Shen did not reject the food she offered, so things must be fine between them.

After a while, Shen Xi headed for the restroom.

Gao Meng excused herself and followed Shen Xi. She cornered the latter in the restroom.

Shen Xi slowly raised her eyebrows. "Anything?"

"I'm sorry." Gao Meng knelt down without warning. Her eyes were filled with tears. "Chairman Shen, Screenwriter Shen, it was all my fault. I was rude and I deserve this. I hope you'll forgive me."

Shen Xi grabbed her arm to stop her from kneeling down. "You want to be famous and it's good to be ambitious, but you must also be equally skillful and hardworking.

You haven't made a name for yourself, yet you can't control your behavior in public. How am I supposed to believe in you?"

Gao Meng would be one of their company's future stars and somebody who would penetrate the international film industry. She was an attractive and sophisticated woman who was ambitious. However, she tended to get ahead of herself and had a lot to learn.

"You're right, Chairman Shen. I know what must be done." Gao Meng was serious now. "I won't let you down."

"In showbiz, everything you do will be magnified. Do you still want me to remind you about this?" Shen Xi asked.

"Have you forgiven me, Chairman Shen?" Finally, Gao Meng felt that a weight had been lifted off her chest. She teared up and said gratefully, "Don't worry, I'll behave myself and refrain from spouting nonsense. If I make the same mistake again, I'll never be famous and I'll remain in the Z-list forever."

"Shut up!" Shen Xi glared at her. "If you remain in the Z-list, our company signed you in for nothing."

Gao Meng slapped her own mouth at once. "See what I mean? Dear God, what I just said doesn't count, doesn't count."

It was good enough that Lil Chairman Shen did not blame her.

Boo hoo, how touching. Lil Chairman Shen was a forgiving person. She promised that she would work extra hard and bring in profits for the company.
