nWhen Ning Meng reached the set, Zhen Shanmei was already there. They went in together, realizing that the employees there seemed quite excited.

nZhen Shanmei grabbed one of them and asked curiously, “What happened?”

nThat employee smiled and said, “The sponsor daddy is here! He gave everyone a set of La Mer skincare products! He’s a fan of Su Tiantian and he’s also the chosen person this time! He’s now resting in the room!”

n

n

nNing Meng and Zhen Shanmei looked at each other. Then, they walked toward the room.

nIn the room.

nThe seven singers were already there with the other chosen common people whom they chose to sing with them. There was only one left.

nSu Tiantian was sitting on the sofa. The director and the others were trying their best to please the man beside her. Liu Xinlei was wearing a suit of black casual clothes. He smiled coldly. “Who is so arrogant? All of us are waiting for her!”

n

n

nThe director was covered with cold sweat and smiled awkwardly at him, but he was ignored.

nIt was an awkward moment. Su Tiantian smiled and said rather intimately, “CEO Liu, calm down.”

nLiu Xinlei sneered. “I’ll forget about it because of you, Tiantian.”

nThe director breathed a sigh of relief. He threw a grateful look at Su Tiantian.

n

n

nSu Tiantian sat firmly, feeling slightly smug.

nLi Haojie sat beside them. His eyes brightened when he saw that scene.

nThe crew had no choice but to fawn over the sponsor daddy. It also made him proud given that the woman he adored was being admired by a lot of people. She was just that outstanding and attractive.

nInstead of being jealous, rather, this situation pleased him.

nSu Tiantian was so much more elegant and graceful than Zhen Shanmei.

nWhile he was daydreaming, one of the employees said, “Director, the final one is here!”

n

n

nEveryone turned to look toward the entrance.

nLiu Xinlei said angrily, “Come in faster! Let us see who is so proud and rude!”

nThen, two stunning women appeared at the door.

nThe entire room brightened with their presence.

nLi Haojie was shocked when he saw them.

nZhen Shanmei?

nWhy was she here?

nDid it mean that she was also one of the chosen ones?

n

n

nLi Haojie’s face darkened.

nHe knew that she would never give up just like that. She was sure to ask the director to put them in the same pair, and then, she would beg him to get back together with her.

nHe looked toward Su Tiantian subconsciously. At that moment, Su Tiantian was smiling and explaining to Liu Xinlei, “CEO Liu, don’t be angry. They’re…”

nThe impatience disappeared from Liu Xinlei’s face before Su Tiantian had finished talking. Soon, he became delighted and surprised. “Ning Meng? Zhen Shanmei? Is that you?”

nNing Meng was puzzled when she saw him.

nZhen Shanmei on the other hand was more direct. “Who are you?”

nLiu Xinlei smiled and said, “Sister Shanmei, Sister Meng, don’t you recognize me!? I was the plump boy! We were classmates from the same primary school!”

nZhen Shanmei was stunned. “That plump boy?”

nLiu Xinlei had acted like the great big boss earlier, yet now, he seemed just like a kid fawning over the two of them. He smiled and said, “Yes, that’s right! It’s normal if you didn’t recognize me just now because I’m much slimmer now!”

nHe stood up and turned around in front of Zhen Shanmei and Ning Meng. “You always said that I was ugly because I was plump, so I tried my best to slim down this past year. I managed to cut down twenty jin1. I did that just to prove to you that…”

nLiu Xinlei continued righteously, “The reason I’m ugly is not because I’m fat!’

nZhen Shanmei and Ning Meng were speechless.

nThe others present were also rendered speechless.

n

n

nOn the other hand, Li Haojie’s facial expression had changed too.
