Chapter 89 - Business (1/2)
In the morning, Song Sheng already went. But he left Qian Meigui a message, stating he had gone to work.
All over the media, the news about Song Sheng succeeding the company spread like wildfire. He was the handsome icon that now has full control of one of the oldest and successful Entertainment companies.
His face was splattered all over magazines, articles, and online sources. Those who did not know him from his films projects knew him now. He was now the CEO of Song Entertainment.
Song Sheng went to work where the staff offered him their condolences and congratulating him on his new promotion at the same time. He went to the chairman's office alone, placing his hands in his pocket, glancing around the room. He didn't want to change anything. The books and magazines kept in the same place. The furniture was the same. The only thing Song Sheng added was a picture frame.
The picture frame held a picture of Song Sheng and Song Ren standing tall next to each other. He chuckled because their faces were tight and reserved. Just below them were the twins who decided to pose silly faces, while Qian Meigui stood in the middle of the four of them. They all framed her.
Her face delicate and innocent and it was one of the few pictures Qian Meigui let them take of her in it. But he liked it because it captured his siblings too, the ones he cared for the most.
Song Sheng worked for hours when he heard the door knock. It was Yu Qingge, one of his best employees in the industry. ”Come in,” he said.
Yu Qingge walked in, closing the door behind her. She wore a pencil, skirt and blouse; her light hair curled tightly. She shyly walked up to him.
Song Sheng was impatient and wondered what she wanted. But he had to be respectful towards the people that worked for him.
She bit her lip nervously, while Song Sheng's face wasn't friendly. ”Can I help you?” he asked her.
”Uhmmm,” she began. ”I just want to congratulate you on your new role,” she said.
Yu Qingge had been working with Song Sheng for months, as his female co-star, and within the promoting industry. Yu Qingge remembered that she initially did not want to join Song Entertainment because she felt like she would receive better offers elsewhere.
But Song Sheng convinced her to join him, and she's gained more fame and success since joining. But now, since he became the CEO unexpectedly, she felt like now was her chance to take him before he gains more attention from other women.
”Thank you,” he said deeply.
Yu Qingge stepped closer. ”We have to go to another interview,” she began. ”Now that you're the CEO, many journalists are anxious to see you again.”
Song Sheng rubbed the space between his eyebrows. ”All right,” he said. Yu Qingge kept her cool, despite being excited. ”I'll schedule it then,” she said before she started to walk out of the room. At the same time, the woman who's been around him walked into the room.
She wore her long brown hair loose; her face was round but delicate. Yu Qingge gritted her teeth. She still hasn't figured out who she was. Were they dating? Was their relationship some secret? She kept her cool as she passed the woman. She then went to type Song Sheng's name online, but there were no pictures of her in them. She then decided to make some calls.
Qian Meigui decided to stop by with some lunch to see how Song Sheng was transitioning in his new position when the actress she had seen him with at the premiere walked out of the office.
Qian Meigui felt no ways about it and proceeded to emerge in the room. The room was twice as large as his old office. Song Sheng was seated in front of a desk. He then rose as soon as he saw her, his expression softening.
Qian Meigui settled the bags she carried on his desk, as Song Sheng came around and greeted her with a kiss on her lips. It knocked the breath from her.
”I need to visit you more often,” she said breathlessly. Song Sheng smirked.
”How are you keeping up with the business?” she asked him.
”Busy,” he said, rubbing his temples. Qian Meigui could tell that he felt stressed.
