The atmosphere in the dining room was very good. Shan Yatong listened to the music as he observed the man sitting opposite him.

His every action brought about a sense of nobility. The smile on his face was neither distant nor warm, and there was nothing improper about his entire being. All of this showed that this man had a very good upbringing, and at the least had received excellent etiquette training. uhkJpo

The waiter poured red wine for the two men, bowed and retreated to the side.

Xiao Qishen smiled at the waiter and took out some cash. He put it on the tray in the waiter’s hand. “There is no need for any more service here, thank you.”

The waiter bowed slightly. He quietly slipped out of the VIP room, gently closing the door behind him. The two were alone in the end, no extra eyes on them.

Shan Yatong looked at the closed door and gradually turned his gaze back to Xiao Qishen. “Xiao-Ge, what is this place?” 32SnA6

“It’s also a place where insiders come often. Don’t worry about paparazzi.” Xiao Qishen said, swirling the red wine inside his glass. “This is 1986 wine. Try it.”

The young man sitting opposite him lifted the glass and took a small sip. The expression on his face was more reserved than one of indulgence, but his posture and how he held the glass was perfect, as if he had held this kind of wine glass many times.

“How is it?” Xiao Qishen asked with a smile.

“It’s delicious.” Shan Yatong set the wine glass down, dropping his hand under the table. He looked uneasily at the rare steak on his plate. “Xiao-Ge, how could the company decide to sign me?”

Xiao Qishen gracefully cut the steak in his plate. “You don’t have confidence in yourself?” With his fork, he brought the evenly cut piece of steak to his mouth. He quietly observed the conflicted youth. What exactly about this youth was so captivating to Xiao Qishen?

“No, it’s not that.” The teenager looked a little flustered as he cut into his steak. “I just don’t understand what’s going on. Is it because of your recommendation, Xiao-Ge?”

Xiao Qishen lightly sipped at his wine, smiling. “No. It’s because our president Tang Ruanqing said you have potential, and immediately requested for you.”

He thought the young man wouldn’t ask about it, but it seemed this matter did not completely have no effect on him. dGRUK0

“Oh.” Shan Yatong said faintly, nodding. He accidentally cut the steak on his plate a little too big.

Smiling tentatively, Xiao Qishen checked the time. “It’s still early, why don’t we go play golf?” 3IOwFG

The youth across from him paused, then nodded uncomfortably.

Xiao Qishen smiled. He stood up, picking up the suit jacket from his chair. “Let’s go.”

Shan Yatong followed Xiao Qishen. His shy smile did not fade, but the gentleness in his eyes disappeared. Since Xiao Qishen was a Emperor-level superstar, how could he have so much free time to rest and still play golf? He wasn’t this carefree in his previous life.

Once in the underground parking lot, as Shan Yatong approached the door, his mobile phone rang. The caller ID showed it was Yang Jun. OQL tY

“What’s wrong?” He looked at Xiao Qishen, who was already sitting in the driver’s seat. Glancing over his face, he could only see the side of it while he was sitting in the driver’s seat.

“Yuan Wen?”

Shan Yatong’s slightly increased volume attracted even Xiao Qishen’s attention. He watched the teenager standing outside the car door, only to find that the profile of his face was soft, giving a comforting feeling.

Hearing the not-so-familiar name, he thought carefully before remembering it was the name of Shan Yatong’s original group member. By the tone of his voice, it was clear it wasn’t a pleasant situation. tNDm6O

“I see. I won’t respond right now. I’ll talk about it later.” Shan Yatong closed the phone cover, opening the door and sitting down. He smiled a little reluctantly. “Xiao-Ge, I just had to take a call, sorry about that.”

“It’s all right.” Xiao Qishen started the car, slowly navigating out of the underground parking lot. Sunlight filled the car, bringing a slight warmth.

“Can you play golf?” Xiao Qishen asked in a very amiable tone.

“Well, a little.” The teenager was a little absent-minded. TkJw0t

Just then, Xiao’s cell phone rang, and he put his earphone in his ear. “A-Li, what’s going on?”

“En, I see.” Removing his earphone, he looked over at Shan Yatong. “Yuan Wen criticized you on a talk show, did you know?” It seemed that the reason why the young man was behaving so absentmindedly just now was because of this.

Shan Yatong ducked his head, his bangs hiding his expression. “En.”

Xiao Qishen could not see the expression on Shan Yatong’s face. He didn’t know if he was feeling happy or sad or helpless. He frowned. “You are no longer an artist of Flying Entertainment. The company will handle this matter.” x1Y3ML

Of course, Shan Yatong knew that there could be two possible final repercussions for this incident. He could make Yuan Wen’s claims a self-fulfilling statement. Or, others will realize Shan Yatong was badly hurt by Yuan Wen’s jealousy even after working side-by-side with him. What he wanted to do was guide the outcome to the second possibility.

“Don’t worry, it’s not going to have a negative impact on you. All we have to do now is play well.” Xiao Qishen was not surprised by this kind of ploy, but he didn’t expect such an inept attempt from Yuan Wen to spread speculation.

This kind of thing was not uncommon in the entertainment circles, the so-called right and wrong. It was just a matter of who had a more powerful support.

“En.” Shan Yatong slightly understood this matter. Sky Crown Corporation may intervene. It was just that he didn’t expect that he was transferred to Sky Crown because of Tang Ruanqing, not Xiao Qishen. QfcytA

Tang Ruanqing. That man was a smiling fox. He himself did not think his fame is enough to be in his consideration, why would he spend $20 million to sign an artist with an unknown future?

At the golf course, Shan Yatong changed into his athletic wear. Taking a deep breath, he looked at the green in front of him.

After Xiao Qishen watched the ball he hit sink into the hole, he rested the golf club on his shoulder. His smile took on a sunny flavour. “How about it, you try it too?”

Shan Yatong’s club was raised high, but before he could swing it down, he was interrupted by a greeting behind him. 0Pi Gv

“Yatong? Why are you here?”

Shan Yatong set the club down, turning to see Ding Yan in a suit. He smiled. “Yan-Ge.”

Ding Yan could see who was with Shan Yatong. “Hello, Mr. Xiao.”

“Hello, Mr. Ding.” Xiao Qishen responded, taking off his gloves to politely shake his hand. They both smiled. E5cC3o

Ding Yan and Xiao Qishen chatted very politely for a couple minutes. They parted, not exactly in an overly-friendly way, so polite it was a little estranged.

Ding Yan did not expect to see Shan Yatong alone with Xiao Qishen, let alone playing golf together. Shan Yatong was unexpectedly lucky.

He couldn’t believe that the entertainment industry could really offer such smooth-sailing luck.

Or was it possible, rather than his luck, the unexpected was Shan Yatong himself? Todygd

“Dong!” In the sun, the golf ball arced in the air and fell into the lake.

Xiao Qishen looked at the annoyed young man. “It doesn’t matter. Keep going.”

“En.” The teenager blushed, continuing to correct his posture.

Xiao Qishen smiled. This seemed like a good afternoon. KJojdq

  1. Yatong doesn’t like rare steak and golf. Xiao Qishen didn’t notice that. He isn’t the ML. If he is then he has too many things to learn and impress Yatong who according to synopsis the is inventor of the word ‘ICEBERG’.

  2. Anyone else think he may be pretending to be bad at golf… Im somehow convinced of it. That said gold is a sport for retired old men where I’m from so it wouldn’t be surpsing if he really was bad at it.

  3. I feel like that president was in love with the dead MC and signed on the new one cause he saw something of the former in him
