nShen Yichong kissed his wife until she couldn’t breathe, her face flushed pink, lips red and swollen.

nHow could this be a show? Even an Oscar winning actor couldn’t pull off a role this well.

nUnconsciously, Zhao Yu became this couple’s fan and just then, felt like he had settled a score on their behalf.

nShen Yichong belatedly realized that there were still cameras shooting them, so he straightened Yu Yaoyao’s clothes to cover her skin and patted her butt.

n“Director Zhao is still here.”

nZhao Yu, heard his name and felt awkward. He cleared his throat and asked something he was curious about.

n“Mr. Shen, Qiu Dajian is in the second place of the competition, In the Limelight. Did you perhaps, foresee this and negotiate with him?”

n“Well, yes, in the first round, I saw the spark in him. He has great potential. “

nZhao Yu gasped, “What about Screenwriter Liu? I heard she is in her husband’s company.”

n“Mrs. Liu is a writer who lends soul to her scripts. As a matter of fact, I’ve admired her talent for four years and have invited her to my company. She had always been busy focusing on her husband’s career, but earlier this year, she stated on Weibo that she would polish her scripts, and make her scripting career independent from her husband’s company.”

nShen Yichong nonchalantly continued, “So, this year, I approached her again, and she finally agreed.”

nWhat ?!? How come he didn’t release the news until now !?

nZhao Yu’s mouth hung open in shock.

nHe was now uncertain what to make of Shen Yichong, whom he had originally, perceived as merely a businessman, who happened to be interested in the entertainment industry, and gained his position because of his foresight and wealth.

nBut now, he needed to reassess.

nHad Shen Yichong prepared all this because he long expected this crisis of stock price decline, or did he already know that Chen Jiao would leave Guangxin? Were all these announcements premeditated?

nThis man did not only possess the foresight, but also the resolution that had undoubtedly made him who he was.

n“And Director Zhou……”

nZhao Yu had invited Zhou Qiu in person, to be one of the judges on In the Limelight, for Zhou Qiu had always been popular in the business, having won the award for the best director.

nHowever, a lesser known reason for inviting him was that he had established his own company and art brand, and didn’t align or associate with any entertainment company.

nTherefore, he could be trusted to be objective and fair, by not favoring any actor in the competition.

nBut this……this was also pre-arranged?!

n“Director Zhou was an old friend of my father’s, and wanted to work with me since last year, but I felt that Guangxin wasn’t big enough in the show business yet, so I turned him down.”

nShen Yichong squeezed Yu Yaoyao’s hands as he spoke.

n“But Director Zhou gave me and Guangxin many precious suggestions in the film market.”

nZhao Yu stared in speechless amazement.

nEven Zhou Qiu was Shen Yichong’s man? So he was the hidden external help to Guangxin!

n“No wonder, Zhou Qiu used a new actor from your company in his last movie.” Realization slowly dawned on Zhao Yu.

nJust then, Yu Yaoyao started to grumble, “What the heck, so you had already invited them……I made all those efforts for nothing.”

nShen Yichong chuckled, “Zhao Xiaomeng and Director Zhao were not on my list. They’re too hard to get.”

nThis made Yu Yaoyao glow with pride. She felt pleased that she had done something worthwhile.

n“There’s no problem with Zhao Xiaomeng, she promised me already!”

n“As for Director Zhao……”

nZhao Yu was once again, dumbfounded.

nShe was really bold, trying to poach him right in front of the whole crew.

nAlthough he felt sorely tempted, he waved his hands in refusal, “My contract is not terminated yet.”

n“When does it expire? You can come then.”

n“……”

nAt a loss for words, he didn’t want to say anything more.

nThankfully, Shen Yichong rescued him as he took Yu Yaoyao back to the house, saying, “It’s OK. You already brought Director Zhao’s niece into Guangxin; he is now one of us too.”

nBoth Yu Yaoyao and Zhao Yu stared at him in amazement.

n*

nThat night, Yu Yaoyao was explained the insider-intricacies by her husband on their giant bed.

n“In the Limelight was a show with very high standards, many newcomers couldn’t get in. As an unaffiliated trainee, Zhao Xiaomeng had very limited experience, yet she managed to get into the show; this indicates that she is not as simple as you thought.”

n“Ah, so she was like me, she has connections,” stated Yu Yaoyao.

nShen Yichong had put his son to bed, and had found his wife sitting up when he returned to their bedroom, so he concluded the topic with one sentence.

n“Right, she is the director’s relative, but many people don’t know about this. Zhao Xiaomeng made it to the final on her own; it was not easy for her.”

n“But you didn’t fancy her…did you?” Yu Yaoyao turned to look at him.

nShen Yichong squinted at the sight of her.

nShe lay on the bed, her pretty white breasts almost fell out from her nightdress. She always had possessed the ability to make a modest and dignified dress seem like sexy, seductive lingerie.

nThe hem of her nightdress was already rolled up to her pretty skinny waist to expose not just her calves, even her waist. Her small white feet drove him wild.

n“That day……you were the only one in my eyes.” He said, his voice hoarse.

nHe held her feet. Every single one of her toes was as white and tender as silky tofu, and her toenails were painted a delicate shade of pink.

n“On the stage, I could see no one else but you.”

nShe sparkled on the stage; no other woman could compare to her.

nZhao Xiaomeng was pure and real, but she was still incomparable.

nShen Yichong felt a rumbling growl erupt in his chest as he slid his hands under her dress along her slender legs.

nYu Yaoyao turned and lost herself in his sparkling eyes, burning with desire.
