The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 372: Chapter 372 Shen Shushan: The Man Below

“Relax! I’ll protect Qingwu with my life.”

Several years ago, when Zuo Jing’an Sr. encountered trouble abroad while receiving an award, it was Pei Jue who led a group and rescued him from an isolated island!

Back then, the old man realized that this man, who was nominally engaged to his granddaughter, was at least more reliable than her father!

Hearing Pei Jue’s solemn response, the old man nodded.

“Qingwu, if anything happens, just let the family know. Your grandfather might be old, but he can still handle plenty of things. Plus, your grandmother and I are here for you!”

“Got it, Grandpa.”

Breaking free from the overwhelming shock.

The one most stirred was Shen Shaojia…

Holding her face in her hands, Shen Shaojia felt like her feet weren’t quite touching the ground…

“Qingwu, I think I’m seeing double right now… Is it because I’m too happy? Aaaaah, my little sister is actually my idol! I must be the happiest woman in the world!”

Shen Zhongshuang: “That’s just your astigmatism worsening. Go get your glasses changed.”

“What do you know! Without an idol, you’d never understand me! Hey, why are you here alone? Didn’t bring Mimi along?”

Shen Zhongshuang awkwardly rubbed his nose.

He hesitated and said, “We had a fight. She blocked me, and when I went to the Black Dragon Gang to find her, she had someone throw me out…”

Shen Shaojia instantly put on a gossip-eating expression.

“Ha? That’s not like you at all, Second Brother. You just let Mimi toss you out? Didn’t you try your stubborn insistence tactic?”

“It’s my fault. She’ll calm down eventually.”

Pressed further about what happened, Shen Zhongshuang refused to say.

Feeling a little rushed by Shen Shaojia’s interrogation, he finally lifted his gaze and calmly said, “Kids shouldn’t meddle in adult affairs. If you’re that curious, go find yourself a boyfriend!”

With that, he made his escape, preparing to bring Wanjun’s gifts along to win over Su Mi!

If he hadn’t been too over-the-top in certain matters and upset Su Mi, she wouldn’t have blocked him…

Initially, Su Mi was worried that the burn marks on her body hadn’t fully healed and looked unpleasant, fearing Shen Zhongshuang might find her repulsive.

In a rush, Shen Zhongshuang kissed her, and then… some unexpected things happened.

Being blocked under such circumstances, Shen Zhongshuang knew he was at fault!

Now he was consistently showing up at the Black Dragon Gang, waiting for Su Mi to come out so he could say a few words.

Only now did Shen Zhongshuang understand that dating could feel like being someone else’s lackey… But he was happy to do it!

Watching Shen Zhongshuang sprint away faster than anyone, Shen Shaojia was left confused.

“Second Brother’s lost it again, hasn’t he? At this rate, if Mimi doesn’t block him, I might just do it instead!”

Shen Shushan frowned at Chu Yuheng.

“I keep hearing you call Qingwu ‘Boss.’ Don’t tell me you’re also a member of Beidou Star?”

Chu Yuheng shrugged.

With a teasing smile, she twirled her hair at her fingertips.

“Come closer, and I’ll tell you. Too many people here; I’m shy.”

Shen Shushan thought about how most Beidou Star members preferred to keep their identities hidden, given the shameful pasts associated with it.

Chu Yuheng was the most talented actress he had ever worked with—her acting and emotional delivery were impeccable!

With that thought, Shen Shushan leaned in.

Chu Yuheng cleared her throat and whispered next to Shen Shushan’s ear.

“If I said I was your ‘wild dad,’ would you believe me?”

After dropping this bombshell, she bolted before Shen Shushan could react!

Shen Shushan felt like his eardrum had been shattered!

“Get back here!”

“Nope, nope! Serves you right for stealing my resources!”

“We aren’t even the same type of actor. When did I ever steal your resources?”

Chu Yuheng hid behind Qingwu, rolling her eyes.

“I had a deal for an endorsement; everything was finalized. But then the other party said your team intervened. How shameless can you be?! It’s truly infuriating!”

It wasn’t as if she desperately needed that endorsement.

But losing an endorsement she already secured—and to Qingwu’s third brother, no less—was enough to make her fume!

“Honestly, you should go eat dog crap!”

Shen Shushan was completely dumbfounded.

“In recent months, I haven’t had any endorsements. When did I ‘steal’ your endorsement? Besides, our market positioning isn’t even the same. How could a male actor take work away from a female actor?”

Shen Shushan was genuinely clueless about what was going on.

How could he have taken Chu Yuheng’s resources?

Chu Yuheng whipped out her phone. “This perfume endorsement! The brand said your assistant contacted them to take the deal!”

An international top-tier perfume endorsement could greatly elevate an artist’s commercial value.

Shen Zhongshuang furrowed his brows. “I haven’t received any information about this job offer.”

“I don’t care! Keep pretending—you’re the best at that, aren’t you?”

Chu Yuheng clung to Qingwu’s waist. “Boss, your brother bullied me! I don’t care; you owe me compensation. Chairman Pei’s company recently launched several new perfumes—I want to be their spokesperson!”

Qingwu raised a brow.

… It seemed like Chu Yuheng’s real goal was Pei Jue’s perfume endorsements, wasn’t it?

“Get Lian Zhen to handle the negotiations.”

“That’s too troublesome!”

Chu Yuheng, acting like a sycophant, glanced at Pei Jue with sparkling eyes. “Chairman Pei, give me a chance! I’ll sing your praises in front of Boss every morning from now on!”

Pei Jue raised an eyebrow.

“I don’t think I need anyone to talk me up.”

Every morning, though?

Was Chu Yuheng planning to wake up with Qingwu daily? Bold indeed!

“As for endorsements, talk to my secretary. If you fit our perfume’s branding, you can be selected.”

“No one’s more suitable than me! The initial data for these perfumes was calculated by me. Hiring an elite researcher who’s also an award-winning actress as a spokesperson is a win-win!”

Pei Jue remained composed.

“If the researcher angle can be used in the marketing campaign, then you’ll definitely be chosen. If not, you’ll stand on equal footing with other actresses in competition.”

“After all, Miss Chu’s endorsement fees aren’t cheap. What’s your edge?”

Chu Yuheng finally understood—talking business with a businessman meant you had to speak about profits.

She switched to a different approach.

There was no chance of negotiating a discount, but she still had other advantages!

“Money our company earns is money my Boss earns! Chairman Pei wouldn’t want Boss staying up all night for research funding, would you?”

This angle worked better than anything else!

Even Shen Family members turned to Qingwu collectively, asking if she was short on money!

Shen Boyi immediately pulled out his phone to transfer money to Qingwu, triggering a cascade of transfer notifications…

Pei Jue glanced at Chu Yuheng.

“From now on, all perfume endorsements from the Pei Clan are yours.”

“Chairman Pei truly knows how to flaunt his wealth!”

Chu Yuheng left delighted, but not before stomping hard on Shen Shushan’s foot…

“Move aside, inferior man!”
