Be reborn and be happy to the fullest

Jiang Shuying blushed slightly, twisted her hands together, and said shyly, "Well, it's like this, do you think I can join the Artist Association?"

Li Shuo was startled and blurted out, "What about Irene?"

After he said this, Li Shuo knew he was wrong. Didn't this make him seem to care more about Irene's opinion?

So he immediately said, "What I mean is that this is not about joining the Art Association, but about taking a management position in the Art Association. The number of positions is very limited. If you want to take the position, I need to explain it to Irene and let her wait for the next opportunity."

These words were said with great skill. Jiang Shuying smiled brightly and said readily, "Before coming here, I discussed it with Irene. She came in just to find some opportunities for Irene's studio. I can do this, too. Besides, I am more suitable as a lecturer here than Irene."

Jiang Shuying didn't tell the real reason, which is that she has returned to China for 2 months and watched her former classmates become big stars one by one. She urgently hopes to get in touch with the entertainment industry, or even have the opportunity to make her way back!

So, Jiang Shuying spent the whole day trying to please Irene, begging this good sister to give her a chance. And Irene's situation was indeed as she said, and she didn't have such an urgent need for the Art Association.

"Oh my, come to think of it, this is all my fault. I should have shared this with Sister Ying earlier..."

Li Shuo's way of addressing Jiang Shuying changed from "class teacher" to "Shuying" some time ago, and now he calls her "Sister" and "Sister Ying" intimately.

In this regard, Jiang Shuying was like a frog in warm water. She shook her head and said, "How can I blame you? This matter should have been kept secret."

"Haha, yes... Sister Ying, the situation of the Art Association is like this..."

Afterwards, Li Shuo briefly explained his intention to join the Art Association, and finally said: "The Art Association will soon have two permanent positions: a supervisor and an executive. As for the supervisor, President Yang Kangcheng prefers Lecturer Zhou Haiqiong, who is also President Yang's old subordinate. Therefore, only the executive position will be left. I wonder if you, the class instructor..."

Jiang Shuying nodded readily: "I have no problem!"

Li Shuo thought for a moment and said, "In fact, there is another candidate for the position of secretary. She is a good friend of Reba and Bailu, and also a close friend of the famous star Yang Xiaomi. She has an extraordinary background. If she strives hard for it, I can't refuse... Well, let's do this. I will try my best to split the position of 'secretary' into two..."

In fact, these are all nonsense, but they are necessary steps to sell favors.

Jiang Shuying was even more grateful after hearing this. She took the initiative to grab Li Shuo's hand and promised him, "Brother Shuo, don't worry. As long as I'm still in the art class, you can do whatever you want! You can ask for leave whenever you want. I'll take care of everything in the class for you!"

This is exactly what Li Shuo wanted, but at the same time, he wanted more.

So he grabbed Jiang Shuying's hand, leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Sister, you know how I feel about you. Do we need to be so polite?"

Jiang Shuying blushed slightly. She knew that this could be taken as a joke or as the truth, it all depended on how she responded.

She admired Li Shuo very much, and even worshipped him a little. As early as when Li Shuo forcefully kissed her in the teachers' building, she no longer regarded Li Shuo as an ordinary student. But to say that she liked Li Shuo very much, she couldn't really say...

But Jiang Shuying couldn't bring herself to refuse Li Shuo. Just as she was struggling with the question, Li Shuo let go of her hand, smiled and said, "It's settled, sister, just wait for my good news... Then, see you later..."

As he spoke, he turned around and waved his hand, and he gracefully led Bai Lu and Re Ba away from Jiang Shuying's sight. Looking at the two girls' graceful figures, Jiang Shuying sighed and muttered to herself, "This guy is good in everything, but he's too young, and there are too many beauties around him..."

But then, she shook her head and laughed, "If that's not the case, I'm afraid there are more women around him, right? Apart from anything else, Irene must be a strong competitor..."

In short, the attitude is very tangled and contradictory...

In fact, the beauties around Li Shuo now have a similar mentality to Jiang Shuying: they find it difficult to give up such an outstanding man, but they don’t want to fall into an endless competition for favor. What they lack is an opportunity to be devoted to Li Shuo.

Li Shuo himself understands this, so he attaches great importance to the Lenghai Art Association and intends to turn it into that opportunity!

"What are you planning to eat tonight?" Li Shuo asked as he walked with Bai Lu and the other girl.

Bai Lu said she wanted to eat at a small hot pot restaurant not far from the school. Reba lowered his head to play with his phone. Li Shuo saw this and asked, "Reba, what do you want to eat? By the way, where are Xu Xiaosa and the others? Ask them to come out and have a meal together."

Since he has decided to attract Yang Xiaomi and Xu Xiaosa into Lenghai's circle, Li Shuo naturally has to show corresponding goodwill, rather than just waiting for others to come and lick his boots.

Unexpectedly, Reba shook his head and said, "I'm afraid they don't have time today. Sister Xiao Mi said she wanted to visit other leaders..."

Hearing this, Li Shuo stopped and raised his eyebrows and asked, "What other leaders?"

Reba didn't realize the problem yet, and said casually: "I heard that it was the person in charge of the Art Association, his surname is Zeng? It seems so. Sister Xiao Mi said that although you are in charge of the matter, they can't just do nothing..."

Bai Lu laughed and said, "Xiao Reba, look at you. You are now completely leaning towards Xiao Mi Studio. I told you that you should have signed with Shuoguo Culture from the beginning. Now you are hanging out with Xu Xiaosa and his gang, and you are not close to us anymore..."

Reba held her arm, rubbing against her, and said coquettishly, "Hey, Xiaobai, how many times are you going to talk about this topic? These are all coincidences."

These two women didn't realize there was anything wrong with this.

But Li Shuo was very unhappy: "This Yang Xiaomi seems to be good at making connections, but why doesn't she ask what the relationship between Zeng Tao and herself is!"

Seeing the two girls chatting about what to eat, Li Shuo picked up his phone and called Zeng Tao directly!

……

In a luxurious box not far from the Drama Academy, Yang Xiaomi, Xu Xiaosa, and Zeng Tao as well as two other executives of the Arts Association were having dinner together. All of them were experienced in the ways of the world, so they were naturally having a great time at the banquet and had a very good relationship with each other.

At this moment, Zeng Tao's cell phone rang. He glanced at it casually. The next moment, his expression suddenly froze. In the surprised eyes of others, Zeng Tao stood up and answered the phone very quickly, bowing slightly: "Mr. Li, what do you want?"

The atmosphere in the box suddenly froze. Everyone, including Yang Xiaomi, subconsciously held their breath, because looking at Zeng Tao's posture, everyone thought he was a big leader.

"Um, I'm sorry... I'm sorry... It's my fault. I'll correct it later... Where are you? I'll come find you right away..."

After a brief conversation, when Zeng Tao put down his phone, he smiled wryly at the others and said, "Well, sorry, everyone, I have something urgent to do. Well, the leader has summoned me, so I really can't do anything..."

In his eyes, Li Shuo was even more powerful than the big boss, because whether he could land safely depended on Li Shuo's attitude:

The last time the leader of the cultural department invited Li Shuo to dinner, Zeng Tao was immediately given the title of president of the Lenghai Art Association. However, an organization like the Art Association does not belong to a government agency, but is an art group "spontaneously formed by the public." So in theory, the leader of the cultural department has no jurisdiction. Therefore, Zeng Tao is actually still the president of the Art Association.

Zeng Tao knew at that time that he would not be the president for long, and whether he could keep his position in the department depended on Li Shuo's attitude! Fortunately, when she went to the unit the next day, a leader called him over and asked him to be responsible for the smooth handover of the Art Association. In his words, he hinted that he should cooperate with Li Shuo's next work. In this way, his position in the department was saved!

Since it is a matter of official position, Zeng Tao naturally dare not slack off in his work towards Li Shuo!

"President Zeng..."

"Who is it?"

"Why are you leaving in such a hurry..."

Whether it was Yang Xiaomi or the other two directors of the Art Association, they all stared in amazement as Zeng Tao quickly stood up, opened the door, and disappeared from everyone's sight in a flash...

Everyone looked at each other and were speechless.

After a while, everyone sat down again. Yang Xiaomi spoke first, inviting the two managers to continue eating.

Perhaps because Zeng Tao was not there, one of the supervisors said, "Ms. Xu, if you want to have a place in the Art Association, you must not only have a good relationship with President Zeng, but more importantly, another person."

Xu Xiaosa asked curiously: "Who is it?"

The supervisor replied, "I don't know if what I said is right or not. I just heard it from someone. Miss Xu, don't take it too seriously... This matter started when President Zeng led a team to Beijing to participate in the drama competition..."

She recounted what she had heard, and then concluded: "Rumor has it that President Zeng offended the drama award winner, causing the drama award winner to not thank the relevant departments of Lenghai as usual on the podium, so the leaders were furious, and because President Zeng was the culprit in this matter, it is rumored that President Zeng will resign from his position in the Arts Association soon..."

Yang Xiaomi and Xu Xiaosa's eyes widened when they heard this, and they felt like they were "destroying their own Great Wall". They were smart people, and they were sure almost instantly: Zeng Tao had offended Li Shuo, and the two were enemies. If the news of their visit to Zeng Tao spread...

With a "bang", Xu Xiaosa stood up, and Yang Xiaomi also stood up at the same time, but her movements were much more elegant, and she still maintained the demeanor of a first-line star. After going out, Yang Xiaomi picked up her mobile phone and called Li Shuo.

The call was quickly connected. Yang Xiaomi did not ask about the feud between him and Zeng Tao. She just chatted with him for a while and finally asked him where he was, saying that she wanted to visit him in person...

After Yang Xiaomi hung up the phone, Xu Xiaosa couldn't wait to ask, "Sister Mi, what did Li Shuo say?"

Yang Xiaomi shook her head: "He is having dinner with Reba now. Let's hurry over and talk about the matter at the dinner table..."

"okay!"

Afterwards, Xu Xiaosa drove straight to a Japanese restaurant near the Drama Academy. More than ten minutes later, the two girls, led by the waiter, came to the door of the box. Then, the two girls saw that Zeng Tao, who had set off more than ten minutes earlier than them, was sitting alone in the box, not daring to move!

When they saw Zeng Tao, Zeng Tao also saw the two women. They looked at each other and both read the embarrassment.

Yang Xiaomi took a deep breath and looked around:

The decoration of this Japanese restaurant is quite high-end, with a semi-open Japanese-style private room layout. They entered the compartment from the corridor, which is the outer private room. There is also a Japanese-style wooden sliding door inside, which is the inner private room for dining. At this time, the lights inside were bright, and Yang Xiaomi could faintly hear the sound of the hot stove.

Yang Xiaomi cleared her throat, trying to regain her composure, and said, "Shuo Ge'er, are you here? We're here."

With a "swish", the sliding door opened, and Reba at the door waved to the two women with a smile and said, "Miss Mi, Sister Xu, come here quickly, we just served the food."

Xu Xiaosa was extremely confused by the situation in front of her. She still couldn't believe that Li Shuo was Zeng Tao's "big boss", so she asked tentatively: "Why is President Zeng outside? Let's go in and sit together?"

Zeng Tao was also extremely ashamed at this moment. After all, he was a well-known person. He hurriedly left when someone invited him to dinner, and then was seen by others running here to wait for "summons". This...

But he knew that Li Shuo was the most important person in helping him get through this crisis. Face was of no importance. As long as he could get through this crisis, he could retire safely. From now on, he would keep his eyes open and never provoke this kind of second generation again!

In Zeng Tao's heart, Li Shuo is not only a terrifying demon king, but also a super second-generation with an extremely strong background!

"Uh, I don't know that person. It seems to be related to Li Shuo..."

Reba said vaguely that this girl didn't know until now that what she was experiencing was actually caused by her unintentional "leak"...

Bai Lu looked at Li Shuo with big eyes, and seemed to be puzzled by Li Shuo's confusing behavior of calling people over and letting them wait outside...

Zeng Tao was asked to wait outside, naturally to wait for Yang Xiaomi and the other girl to come over. They would be working together in the future, and Li Shuo had to let them know who had the final say in this Lenghai art circle!

Otherwise, it would be better to hire a partner who cannot see the situation clearly from the beginning!

"President Zeng! Look at me, how could I have forgotten about you? I am so rude. Come in, please..."

After Li Shuo's enthusiastic words, Zeng Tao, Yang Xiaomi, and Xu Xiaosa all breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere in the box suddenly thawed.

Zeng Tao kept saying "it's okay" but he didn't move. Instead, he looked at Yang Xiaomi and the other girl. He was the only one present who had some vague guesses about Li Shuo's intentions, so he was deliberately giving face to the two girls and telling them through this behavior: In Lenghai, Li Shuo has the final say!
