Chapter 379: Chapter 379: Third Brother’s Path to Apology
For more than twenty years, Pei Jue has been living alone!
He gazes at Qingwu’s serene and elegant face, the warm light behind her pouring down, bathing her in a halo of radiance.
In Pei Jue’s heart, Qingwu has always been the angel who descended from the heavens!
“In the barren years of my twenties, thank you for appearing in my life, Xiao Wu.”
Pei Jue’s family is one that outsiders view as glamorous and illustrious.
Both his mother’s family and his father’s family hold prominent positions among the elite families of Beijing.
But only he knows the bitterness hidden within!
A tainted family, an eternally absent fatherly affection, a conglomerate that relies on him to bear the burdens… It wasn’t until her appearance that his life gained color.
“The year you saved me, honestly, I encountered a lot of bad things.”
The Pei family’s branch members did not want Pei Jue to make any progress.
That year, they exhausted every means to suppress him, devising countless “trials” full of pitfalls, waiting for him to trip up even slightly.
One misstep, and he’d end up meeting his mother prematurely.
It was meeting Qingwu that brought new hope to Pei Jue.
Finding her and expressing his gratitude face-to-face!
But alas, Beidou Star is always fleeting, coming and going swiftly, and searching for a nameless girl along the vast borders was akin to finding a needle in a haystack.
Qingwu reached out her hand and pulled Pei Jue up.
“What a dummy.”
In Qingwu’s eyes, Pei Jue was a little naive and silly, but that only made him even more endearing.
This man… She feels like she’ll never forget him for the rest of her life!
Thinking about it, the prospect of spending the rest of her life with the person before her makes her feel a little excited!
It’s said that Qingwu and Pei Jue have set their engagement for next spring, and Zuo Wanjun couldn’t stop grinning from ear to ear.
“Alright, alright, Mom will make all the arrangements for you two!”
This was probably the happiest news for the whole family since Qingwu returned home!
…
Shen Shushan’s entertainment company.
Looking at the materials piled up in front of him, Shen Shushan felt a burst of anger.
“This commercial—are you the one who booked it for me? Didn’t I say I wouldn’t take any commercials for the next two years?”
The executive agent spoke up, “Boss, this perfume ad will bring you even greater commercial value. In the future, resources in the fashion world will continue to pour in…”
“Do I look like I lack fashion resources? Besides, they’ve already chosen another spokesperson, and now you want me to swoop in and steal the deal midway?”
Shen Shushan was practically beside himself with rage!
He had confidently assured everyone this matter had nothing to do with him.
But when he came to the company, it turned out it was arranged under his own team!
Debuting after all these years, he had somehow stooped to snatching food from others’ mouths, leaving Shen Shushan feeling humiliated…
The executive agent quickly tried to explain.
“Boss, there’s industry chatter that Master Ye Yi is selecting a brand ambassador… If we shoot this perfume ad, Master Ye Yi will definitely take notice of you!”
“If we can secure Master Ye Yi’s brand endorsement in the Asia-Pacific region, your resources will be elevated to a whole new level!”
Competition over Ye Yi’s brand endorsement had set countless hearts aflutter within the industry.
“Chu Yuheng is likely taking on this perfume ad for the same reason—hoping for Ye Yi’s endorsement!”
Shen Shushan rubbed his temples in frustration.
“Contact the brand; I’m not doing this commercial.”
“But we’ve already agreed…”
Shen Shushan stated firmly, “Precisely because we agreed. Didn’t Yuheng and the brand agree too? If the brand can ditch Yuheng because of me, then I can ditch the brand—I’m returning the favor, so what?”
To be fair, it sounds quite logical…
Since his debut, Shen Shushan had never resorted to stealing other people’s resources!
He wasn’t interested in working with brands that lacked integrity.
With Shen Shushan’s influence in the industry, countless international brands lined up for his endorsement.
Yet the executive agent still seemed reluctant to give up this opportunity.
“But we should still try to secure Ye Yi’s endorsement, right?”
“Follow standard procedures. I don’t want incidents like this to happen again. If it happens again, you’re fired!”
“Understood.”
The executive agent quickly stepped out to handle the aftermath of this matter.
Seated in his chair, Shen Shushan spun the wheels a few times beneath him, trying to refocus his thoughts.
After hesitating for some time, he finally dialed Chu Yuheng’s number.
“What do you want? Let me warn you, don’t think you can snatch resources from the Pei Clan!”
“Sorry, I’ve looked into it thoroughly. Believe it or not, this wasn’t my intention.”
Chu Yuheng rolled her eyes theatrically.
“Hmph, you sure know how to say all the right things. Anyway, it’s just my bad luck. I’m not like you pampered heirs who have no clue about the struggles of ordinary people.”
“I sincerely apologize. To make amends, there are a few endorsements that I think you might want to consider.”
“Of course—I’m not an idiot.”
The resources Shen Shushan chose to pass on were usually top-tier brands.
Why wouldn’t she cash in? She’d have to be crazy to refuse!
“Then how about I treat you to a meal? You can pick the place.”
“Forget the meal—I don’t want to get caught up in some scandal.”
The busy tone on the other end left Shen Shushan momentarily dazed.
Seated on the sofa, reading his newspaper, Shen Jishi teased him, “Third brother, did you just get rejected?”
Unbelievable—the day Shen Shushan got turned down for a dinner invite had finally arrived!
Shen Shushan pinched his brow in annoyance.
“If you’re so free, pick up those documents and leave. Just looking at you irritates me.”
Shen Jishi: “…”
As the youngest in the family, it seemed his sole role was to be his elder brothers’ punching bag?
If you’ve got a problem, go vent at one of the sisters instead! Let’s see if you even dare!
“What’s this got to do with me?”
“You’re interfering with my signal.”
Fine, fine, everything’s his fault!
“Hey, third brother, could it be that… you’re interested in Sister Chu?”
“Shen Jishi, you’ve been single so long you think even dogs look attractive, seeing romance in everything?”
Shen Jishi burst out laughing.
“I never said it was love!”
Now he’s actively making up excuses for himself?
“I just wanted to apologize—that’s all! Get your mind off me and go find Mom a daughter-in-law already.”
“Bleh bleh bleh, at least I didn’t get turned down for a dinner date!”
“Let’s see you try asking her out yourself!”
Shen Jishi raised an eyebrow in a smug grin, “What if I actually succeed?”
His third brother was all talk, refusing to admit it was his issue!
As he said this, Shen Jishi pulled out his phone and actually called Chu Yuheng.
“Sister Chu, about that case you mentioned last time—I’ve got some leads now. Court’s next month, want to meet and discuss it today?”
“Sure, let’s have dinner—my treat.”
Smirking smugly, Shen Jishi waved his phone triumphantly, the very picture of gloating.
Shen Shushan: “…”
Shen Jishi grabbed the papers from the desk, ready to leave quickly before Shen Shushan boxed his ears.
Can’t win? Then he’ll make a swift escape!
But, just as he opened the door, he heard Shen Shushan cough behind him.
“I’ll go with you. I need to apologize—yes, that’s it!”
