Zhao Yinuo had no idea what to do with someone as hopelessly love-struck as Tang Wan, so she could only try to be the bigger person herself.
After returning home in a foul mood, she actually went through her own network of connections and started putting together a list of wealthy, handsome, and eligible men who might be suitable for Tang Wan.
Only if Tang Wan found a man she considered better than Su Muyang would she be willing to let go of him.
It shouldn’t have been that difficult. After all, Su Muyang’s current public image was that of a poor young man who had clawed his way to success. That was precisely why Tang Wan couldn’t bring herself to commit to him.
In Tang Wan’s eyes, Su Muyang had only so many resources at his disposal. Once they were used up, that would be the end of them. She was a newcomer who had only recently entered the industry and wanted to keep climbing higher. How could such limited resources possibly be enough?
Zhao Yinuo found the profiles of two generous, single veteran movie stars and sent them to Tang Wan.
[Too ugly. Not as good-looking as Su Muyang.]
Tang Wan barely even looked through their profiles before turning them down.
She wasn’t wrong. Neither man was as handsome as Su Muyang. Zhao Yinuo couldn’t argue with that.
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Yinuo sent Tang Wan the profiles of two senior executives from entertainment companies.
Both men were dressed in sharp suits and looked polished and presentable. They seemed decent enough.
[Still a little ugly. Not as good-looking as Su Muyang.]
Grinding her teeth, Zhao Yinuo found two rich second-generation heirs and sent their profiles over.
[Not ugly. But still not as good-looking as Su Muyang.]
That was the final straw.
Zhao Yinuo couldn’t take it anymore and called her directly.
“Are you messing with me, Tang Wan?”
“I’m not.” Tang Wan sounded extremely guilty.
She really, really wanted to find herself a younger man to keep on the side!!!
And deep down, she knew that if she wanted someone rich and generous, she couldn’t be too picky about his looks or whether he was genuinely devoted to her. Men who had both an excellent family background and outstanding looks never lacked women around them. Even for someone like her, winning one over wouldn’t be easy.
After all, Tang Wan was still rather proud by nature. There was no way she could lower herself enough to become a shameless flatterer.
That was what she told herself, anyway.
But whenever she saw another man, she couldn’t help comparing him to Su Muyang.
And once she did, everything about the other man suddenly seemed wrong.
Zhao Yinuo had been choosing the best candidates she could find precisely because she wanted to get Tang Wan off her hands. She hadn’t played any dirty tricks or deliberately set her up with unsuitable men.
“Since you don’t like any of the men I’ve picked, then go find someone yourself. You’re going to Shengxing Entertainment’s celebration party in a couple of days anyway. You can pick one yourself while you’re there.”
As the biggest entertainment company in the industry, Shengxing Entertainment’s celebration parties weren’t just gatherings where resources converged—they were also the center of the industry’s gossip.
Both Zhao Yinuo and Su Muyang had been invited.
When it came to looks, Su Muyang was certainly eye-catching. But in front of all those major investors and industry big shots, the only thing he really had going for him was his youth and good looks.
So when he saw the woman he loved being escorted around by her manager, introduced to famous directors, producers, and several major entertainment executives, he didn’t go over to interrupt.
His beloved was working hard to build her career. Su Muyang didn’t dare become a burden to her.
The way he stood there, watching Tang Wan with such obvious longing, made Zhao Yinuo’s eyes ache.
“I’m leaving first. I’m going to talk to a friend for a bit,” she said irritably.
“Okay. Go ahead.”
“And don’t just keep staring at Tang Wan. You’re making her uncomfortable.”
“Okay, I know.”
Zhao Yinuo shot him an exasperated glance, then walked away with her wineglass.
But she’d barely exchanged a few words with a manager friend from Shengxing Entertainment when the woman suddenly asked, “Your Su Muyang and that Tang Wan—are they dating?”
“No. He’s single.” Zhao Yinuo denied it immediately. “It’s all just rumors people made up.”
Her friend nodded, then warned her, “Whether they are or not, you should be careful. I heard our big boss has his eye on her. You should know what kind of reputation our boss has. We really can’t afford to provoke him.”
Zhao Yinuo’s eyes lit up.
She had never met Lu Chi, the owner of Shengxing Entertainment, but she’d certainly heard of him.
Every project Shengxing Entertainment invested in involved enormous sums of money, yet Lu Chi never seemed to care whether they made a profit or a loss. After years of simply throwing money at projects, the company had firmly secured the top position in the industry.
A lot of people suspected that the entertainment company was actually being used to launder money, and that Lu Chi had a shady background.
Crossing someone like him could mean more than simply being blacklisted or shelved. It could put your life at risk.
But putting his rumored background aside, a wealthy, generous, handsome man like Lu Chi was exactly the kind of man Tang Wan would be attracted to.
As for Lu Chi’s ruthless reputation, all Zhao Yinuo had to do was make sure Tang Wan broke up with him early. If Su Muyang stayed out of the picture as her ex-boyfriend, wouldn’t that solve everything?
She was still turning the idea over in her head when, from the corner of her eye, she saw Su Muyang had already joined Tang Wan.
The two of them were even sneaking off toward a secluded corner.
The sight made Zhao Yinuo’s vision go dark.
She cursed inwardly.
Weren’t we supposed to come to this celebration party so you could find yourself a rich guy? How did you end up glued to Su Muyang again? Does Tang Wan even take this whole “finding a side guy” business seriously?
