Chapter 2 — Women Don't Want Love, Just Want To Get Rich

Below, netizens commented sarcastically: "Oh my god, Dinh Nghien only said he liked girls with design talent, but never publicly pursued Lam Chi. She just labeled herself." "Exactly! Yesterday I watched the livestream, Dinh Nghien left before the birthday party even started." "Support Dinh Nghien's freedom to love! Don't be forced to be with that woman anymore." Even the group of rich ladies were hinting that, after all, yesterday I took the spotlight. Faced with all those sarcastic words, I just smiled faintly. They laughed at my illusion of love, while I was counting money until my hands were tired. The assistant sent a report, his voice full of excitement: "General Manager Lam! Your sales ability is really terrible! Many people are hunting for the earrings Dinh Nghien wore yesterday, they are sold out!" “As for the haute couture dress collection, the number of reservations has tripled!” “General Lam, your ability to catch trends is truly top of the top!” I just took a sip of red wine and nonchalantly replied: "Catching a trend? No, leading a trend." To celebrate my achievement, I decided to treat myself to a grand shopping spree this afternoon. Just about to turn into the shopping center, bullets shot out: 【 Oh my god, the female lead is going shopping with Ta Nhuong, so romantic~ 】 【 The female lead is so adorable, she even knows how to save money for Ta Nhuong. 】 【 It's very sweet, but this style will probably be photographed by paparazzi soon, the male lead is about to... leave the entertainment industry because of the female lead! 】 I stopped on the spot. Withdrawing from the entertainment industry?! Are you kidding me? Ta Nhuong is the sports representative of our company, the contract value is up to eight figures. Did he think he was playing with dolls?! At least... we have to wait until the contract ends and then do whatever we want! Don't touch your stock price! I immediately dialed the number to call Ta Nhuong directly. “Ta Nhuong, where are you?” – I go straight to the point. There was a cold laugh on the other end of the line: "Lin Chi? Do you think you have the right to take care of me? Who the hell are you?" The tone was full of provocation, and the noise of the shopping center could be heard in the background. I tilted my head back and rolled my eyes, almost laughing out loud. This foul-mouthed guy... Do I care about you? I'm interested in... the company's financial report for the next quarter, understand? I took a deep breath, my voice serious: "Ta Nhuong!" – I almost said every word – “You're going with Ly Dao, right?” Without waiting for him to deny it, I smiled faintly and continued: "If you don't tell the truth, I will immediately call Tu Lac Bach. With his tricks, it will take less than three minutes to find you two. Guess, will this date be ruined or not?" The other end of the line was silent for a few seconds. Immediately followed by the sound of grinding teeth: "...Very well. Central shopping center." Tut... tut... I hung up, turned to my assistant, and calmly ordered: "Immediately prepare the car, go to Central immediately." As soon as the bullets lit up, comments exploded: 【This woman is really thoughtful! Because of breaking the appointment, he dared to threaten the male lead! 】 【Speechless, I was having a peaceful romantic date, but she ruined it. 】 I looked at those words and just slightly curled my lips. Do you think I'm jealous? Sorry, I'm just protecting the company's market value. 4. We rushed to the mall as fast as we could. Just about to click I called Ta Nhuong, I saw him and Ly Dao running out of the revolving door in panic. Behind him there were indeed some dark shadows following - paparazzi. Luckily, both of them were wearing masks. “Get in the car!” – I opened the door wide. The assistant immediately came down and pulled them both into the back seat. Ly Dao's wrist was slightly red when she pulled it, she frowned and said "ah" softly. As soon as she settled down, the first thing Ta Nhuong said was: "Lin Chi! What the hell are you doing? Why did you tell your people to pull hard and hurt her?!" I rolled my eyes: "If you really care about her like that, don't take her shopping in broad daylight! Do you know how many media outlets are lurking?!" Ta Nhuong remained calm: "I wish it would be public." I propped my forehead and sighed helplessly: "Go public? Do you think crazy fans will leave her alone?" Just the song 《Send L.》 not only calling out that name, but also the threatening message makes my inbox explode every day. After listening, Ta Nhuong bowed his head, thought for three seconds, then pulled out his phone: "I will ask my assistant to post a notice of leaving the entertainment industry right now." Me: “…” … Oh my god, I have created karma. Knowing this early on, I didn't want to be cheap and signed an advertising contract with this name. Previously, Ta Nhuong wanted to borrow me to annoy the female lead, I took the opportunity to drag him to be the brand representative for the new collection. I thought I could do both a good job and get a good price and influence. I still dream of my collection exploding, my company reaching the top, and me transforming from a rich playboy into a self-made female CEO. The result... now eat this onion. Ta Nhuong and Dinh Nghien are worlds apart. One is a top idol, the other is a top director. Everyone knows that idols are not allowed to fall in love. If this comes out... the possibility of losing fans, losing contracts, and losing stocks is too obvious. As for him, I don't care. But if it affects my money... I'm sorry, I can't help it. Bullets explode: 【Aaaaa the drama is coming again!!! 】 【 This woman was like: “I'm not jealous, I'm just protecting the stock price.” 】 【 After falling in love, an idol threatens to leave the entertainment industry, hahahaha, the company must be angry and vomiting blood. 】 【 As expected of the "financial big sister": protecting money is more important than protecting emotions. 】 I just took a sip of wine, the corners of my lips curled up, and sighed softly: "You guys think I'm fighting for love? Wrong... I'm fighting for profits." Bullets boiled: 【Aaaaaaa! If the gentle male god dared to leave the entertainment industry because of love, my heart would melt! 】 【 Save lives! This sugar is too sweet, I'm having "sugar shock"! 】 【Where is the Civil Affairs Department! Hurry and prepare to register their marriage! 】 From the rearview mirror, I saw Ly Dao blinking her sparkling doe eyes, gently hugging Ta Nhuong's arm: "Don't leave the entertainment world, okay? Ah Nhuong, I like to see you standing on stage, shining brightly." Ta Nhuong's eyes immediately softened. He raised his hand to gently stroke her hair, his voice as gentle as the wind on a June night: "But in my eyes, no matter how bright the stage lights are, no matter how many cheers there are... it's not as good as your smile." … The corner of my mouth twitched. These two people… please don't leave sugar in my car? The back compartment of the business vehicle was now filled with pink bubbles, the two of them stuck together, completely forgetting the world around them. around. I finally couldn't stand it anymore: "Stop!" Bullets exploded: 【Oh my god, we're only a millimeter away from kissing!!! 】 【 Please, can someone pull this "nasty lizard" woman out for me? 】 【 If she can't kiss, that's fine. Does she also not let others kiss her?! 】 Me: “…” Sorry, this is my car. 5. When I stopped him, Ta Nhuong's face darkened. His eyebrows were furrowed, his voice filled with frustration: "Lin Chi! Why are you being so cruel to her?!" I took a deep breath, suppressed my anger, and calmly replied: "Shut up for me." Not bothering to look at him for another second, I turned to Ly Dao: "Miss Ly, it's not difficult to resolve this crisis. Do you want to listen?" Before he could open his mouth, Ta Nhuong was like a dog holding a bone, his eyes were on high alert: "Dao Dao, don't believe her! This woman has too many plans, who knows what she is planning!" I closed my eyes, trying to control myself. Take a deep breath. Expiratory. … Restrain failure. I raised my voice, almost shouting: “I told you to shut up!!!” Ta Nhuong was about to get angry when Ly Dao gently pulled his sleeve, her wet eyes glittering like dew drops: "Miss Lam... you say it."
