Chapter 147: Violent Kick
I don't know why, but my heart started beating violently. I was so excited to see her. After all, she was the woman I had always dreamed of and loved deeply. Although I didn't want to admit it, I knew in my heart that I would never forget her.
I smiled happily and said, "Xu Shu...it's really not easy to see you!"
Xu Shu rolled his eyes at me and said angrily, "What a joke! You didn't even want to see me, and you chased me away, and now you're pretending to be nice?"
My face turned red, and I quickly changed the subject, saying, "Please come in, let's talk in the room."
Xu Shu walked in and saw Fan Yunting sleeping on the bed at first sight, and was stunned. I hurriedly said, "This is President Fan from our company. I'll go wake her up when you fall asleep."
I was about to go over when Xu Shu grabbed me and whispered, "Wait a minute, you... come here first." As she said that, she pushed open the bathroom door and dragged me in.
I asked curiously, "What's the matter?"
Xu Shu made a "hush" sound, then moved his face closer, sniffed my shoulders and hair with his small nose, then smiled and said, "Well, there really is no smell of cigarettes anymore, you are so good! You deserve a praise!"
I’m sweating!
Xu Shu asked me mischievously , "When you meet Jingjing in the future, she will be surprised to see that you don't smoke. If she asks you why you quit smoking, what will you say?"
I'm sweating again!
This Xu Shu is clearly teasing me! Is he trying to get back at me? I rolled my eyes and came up with a plan. I smiled and said, "Then I'll just tell the truth and say that it was your famous classmate who forced me to quit smoking!"
Xu Shu smiled even more mischievously. She closed the bathroom door with her back foot, leaned closer and closer, and said, "If she asks you again, why would you listen to my classmate? Cigarettes are your lifeblood!"
I……
Xu Shu is so bold that she forced me to say that I like her!
I don't know why Xu Shu suddenly changed his attitude 180 degrees, from avoiding and interrupting in the past to being carefree now. Could it be? Is it because I chose Jingjing's relationship?
But I have been practicing verbal battles with Jingjing for a long time, how could I lose to you? I smiled and said, "I just said that your classmate kissed me, and I was confused for a moment and agreed."
Xu Shu blushed and said angrily, "You dare?"
Seeing Xu Shu was at a disadvantage, I immediately took advantage of the situation and said, "If she asks me again, why did my classmate kiss you? How should I answer?"
Xu Shu was pressed by me. She stepped back slightly, her bright eyes flickering, obviously thinking hard. But she was a star after all, well-informed, and she remained calm. She immediately started to fight back: "Just say: I forced a kiss on your classmate, and she was taking revenge on me!"
Down! That’s awesome!
Seeing me being embarrassed, Xu Shu smiled even more proudly. She pressed on me again and said, "If she continues to ask you: Why did you forcefully kiss my classmate? How would you answer?"
I… I was completely defeated! I could only smile bitterly and said, “Xu Shu, you are so cruel! I can’t beat you!”
Xu Shu laughed and was very happy. I said dejectedly: "Okay, okay, you have taken revenge on me. Let's talk about business!"
Xu Shu's smile faded, and he said, "I'm not going to discuss business with you tonight! We can discuss it at a formal event tomorrow. My agent will also be there, and now... you have to go out with me, let's go out and play for a while!"
I said with a bitter face, "Isn't it? It's so late, and we're unfamiliar with the place. Where can we go to have fun?"
Xu Shu frowned and said, "No matter! Now you have something to ask of me. If you don't do what I want, don't blame me for not signing!"
This Xu Shu! It's clearly a naked threat!
I have no choice but to risk my life to accompany the lady for the sake of the company!
After leaving the hotel, we strolled on the streets of Los Angeles. Xu Shu smiled happily, ran ahead with her arms open, and then turned back and shouted to me: "Tang Qian! It's so nice here! I can walk freely on the street, I can laugh freely. No one knows me, no one disturbs me, I'm really happy!"
I walked towards her slowly with a smile, sighing in my heart: Being a star is glamorous, but it is actually very hard! Like Xu Shu, she was deprived of her freedom at such a young age, and her every move was watched by the media and the people. In China, how could she have the opportunity to go shopping and play like an ordinary person? Those pleasures that ordinary people hate are a luxury for her. No wonder she is as happy as a child now in a foreign country!
"Tang Qian! Come here, let's go to the top of Beverly Hills to watch the night view!" Her joy infected me, and when she stretched out her hand to me, I naturally stretched out my hand to hold hers. Then we held hands and walked away laughing like a happy couple.
Beverly Hills is a world-famous wealthy area. We held hands and toured the area all the way up.
Time seemed to be forgotten at this moment. We finally reached the top of the mountain and looked out at the beautiful night view of Los Angeles, which was as magnificent and splendid as a starry sky.
The evening breeze blew gently, Xu Shu seemed to feel a chill, shivering slightly and leaning against me. I took off my coat and put it on her. Xu Shu turned her head to look at me, then rested her head on my shoulder, staring down, and sighed softly: "It's so beautiful..."
At this moment, in this scene, it was so romantic that I couldn't help but be moved. I stretched out my left arm and hugged her in my arms, and sighed: "Yes! It's so beautiful..."
We hugged each other for a long, long time...
As the sky brightened, Xu Shu sighed again: "Happiness... is always short-lived. How wonderful it would be if this moment could last forever!"
I felt Xu Shu's sadness and thoughts, and finally couldn't help but want to tell her... Xu Shu quickly covered my lips with her hand and whispered, "I know, don't tell me. Let this moment belong only to us, okay?"
I nodded, but the inexplicable sadness and heartache in my heart made me burst into tears, and I couldn't control it and they fell.
Xu Shu gently wiped away my tears. Her eyes were filled with infinite affection and her lips were slightly bitter. She said softly, "Tang Qian, can you kiss me?"
I lowered my head and kissed her slightly open mouth.
Time stands still!
The world is still!
During the passionate kiss, I felt a tear fall from her eyes onto my lips...
It was daybreak. Xu Shu gently pushed me away and said with a smile, "Fate... always plays tricks on us! Okay, let's go back."
I was speechless and tried to hold her hand, but Xu Shu gently pulled away. She said, "Jingjing is your only love, I won't allow you to...let her down." As she spoke, she reached out to stop a taxi.
After returning to the hotel, I walked into the room in a depressed mood. Fan Yunting had already gotten up. She asked curiously, "Tang Qian, where have you been so early? Has Xu Shu come over?"
I said, "We have an appointment. We will discuss the contract at 2 pm on the fourth floor of the hotel. I am sleepy and want to take a nap. Wake me up at noon."
Although Fan Yunting was surprised, she didn't say anything and turned to leave the room. I lay on the bed, but I couldn't fall asleep. The scenes .
Xu Shu! Why? Why did you do that? Why did you clearly love me but only show it now? Fate! Why did you play such a trick on me?
I was in so much pain and conflicted. I loved Jingjing deeply and would never let her down in this life. But I painfully discovered that Xu Shu also occupied an extremely important position in my heart, and my love for her had not diminished at all!
The huge pain and guilt made it impossible for me to fall asleep. At noon, I simply got up and didn't sleep. I went to the bathroom to wash my face. I was surprised to find in the wall mirror that I didn't know when I had white hair on my temples, my beard was untidy, and my face looked old. I put my head in the pool, turned on the water, and let the water soak my whole face...
At 2pm, Fan Yunting and I entered the business office on the fourth floor on time. Xu Shu, his agent Shi Ruizhu, and a white lawyer were waiting for us.
After introducing each other, everyone sat down and began formal discussions.
We were surprised by the conditions proposed by Xu Shu. She said she could be our company's product spokesperson for free, and even invite a famous director to design and shoot a commercial in the United States right away, and she could pay for it. But she wanted to join the company's board of directors and hold 51% of the shares.
Fifty-one percent? Then wouldn't she be the chairman?
I turned around and whispered to Fan Yunting: "Are you kidding me? Doesn't this mean the company will become hers? I can't agree to this!" I stared at Xu Shu as I spoke. There were two faint dark circles under her eyes, and it was obvious that she didn't sleep well. But her expression was normal, and she looked businesslike.
Fan Yunting whispered in my ear: "It's a bit harsh, but I have to think about it. After all, if she becomes the chairman, with her fame, the company will have great development!"
I said, "What's the point of big development? The company we worked so hard to build is now used as a wedding dress for others. Can you accept this?"
"Hmm...let me think about it!"
Xu Shu on the other side spoke up. She smiled and said, " I just looked at your company's information. With such a small scale, how can you gain a foothold in the business world with so many powerful players? Moreover, having only one product is far from enough to occupy a market share. What you need is a variety of products with a full range of products to create brand and group advantages, so that you can achieve great results!"
I smiled bitterly and said, "Ms. Xu, it's easy to say, but it requires a lot of money. My company can't even afford your endorsement fee, so what's the point of talking about brands and groups?"
Xu Shu smiled and said, "Please listen to me. If I become the chairman of the board of directors of the company, I will certainly not sit idly by. I will inject 50 million yuan as an initial investment for development and operation. What do you think?"
Fifty million? Fan Yunting and I were both stunned. Fan Yunting immediately whispered in my ear: "That's great! With so much money, we will immediately upgrade to a large enterprise comparable to the Green Lady Company."
I thought about it and shook my head, "No, Xu Shu is so ambitious. She brought in so much money. What does our little investment mean to us? The company is our hard work and must not become a Xu-owned enterprise!"
I turned back and said with a smile, "Ms. Xu's offer is really tempting! But I'm sorry, we are not selling the company. The purpose of our trip is just to invite Miss Xu to be the spokesperson for our products. If Miss Xu is willing, that would be great. If Miss Xu wants to take over our company, then I think we will disappoint you. This trip to the United States is in vain!"
Xu Shu's eyes flashed with annoyance, and he glared at me fiercely. I was also annoyed. He was so affectionate with me just this morning, but now he is plotting against my company. You are so clear about the distinction between public and private matters!
Xu Shu was angry for a while, then said, "Mr. Tang, can you please listen to what I have to say?"
I said, "Oh? Miss Xu, do you have any other advice?"
Xu Shu said: "Although I will invest money, I will only have a name on the company's board of directors. You are still the real decision makers of the company, and you can operate the funds I inject as you please. After three years, when the company has grown stronger, I will withdraw my investment and quit the board of directors. The company is still yours, and it has nothing to do with me from now on."
This shocked Fan Yunting and me again. This... this... isn't this just lending us money for free? Is there such a good thing in the world?
Fan Yunting opened her mouth wide and said, "Ms. Xu...Ms. Xu, I...did I hear you right? You want to invest money in us for nothing?"
Xu Shu smiled proudly and said, "Who said my investment was in vain? I will also get dividends in these three years."
I understood everything in an instant. Xu Shu was helping me in various ways! She wanted to be the chairman of the board, but what was the difference between this and lending us money for free? She would not interfere in the company 's affairs, and... with the title of chairman, she didn't even need us to pay for endorsements and advertising. It was like she was working for us for free and even gave us money. I... I had wrongly blamed her!
I felt ashamed and grateful at the same time. Looking at Xu Shu, I was so moved that I couldn't say a word.
Xu Shu secretly rolled his eyes at me and said, "Do you have any other opinions? If you don't have any objections, I have a contract here, let's sign it."
Fan Yunting said happily: "Of course I have no objection, I'll sign it!"
…
Back in the room, Fan Yunting was still very excited. She smiled and said, "Tang Qian, our trip to the United States was really worth it! The famous star Xu is such a nice person. How could she be so generous and selfless? This is so unexpected! So strange! Could it be that Hua Jingjing played a big role in this?"
I smiled bitterly, thinking that I had wrongly blamed Xu Shu just now. She must be very angry now. Damn it! How could I not trust her so much? In the past, I always blamed her for not trusting me, but now I... Oh!
I was so ashamed and regretful that my intestines turned green. No, I must go find her and ask for her forgiveness, otherwise, I will hate myself to death.
Fan Yunting said, "Tang Qian, can I borrow your toilet for a moment?" Then she ran into the bathroom. I made up my mind to go to Xu Shu and apologize!
I strode to open the door, but saw Xu Shu standing outside with a serious face. I was stunned for a moment, then shouted: "Xu Shu, I..."
Xu Shu didn't answer, but pushed me in the chest and pushed me back into the room. Then she walked in and closed the door. I stood firm and said, "Xu Shu, I'm sorry..."
Xu Shu looked around first and found that no one was in the room. She immediately raised her eyebrows and said angrily, "What's the point of saying sorry? Good intentions don't go unrewarded! I...I have to beat you up, you're making me so angry!"
Xu Shu was so violent that she rushed over and punched me without thinking. I didn't dare to dodge and let her hit me. At the same time, I deliberately shouted loudly in pain!
Xu Shu was obviously really angry, not only hitting me with his hands, but also kicking me. He kicked my butt while shouting, "I'll kick you to death! I'll kick you to death!"
This was the first time I saw the gentle and gracious celebrity Xu Shu. It turned out that she had such a savage and violent side. It seemed that she was not the little witch's sister for nothing. I was overwhelmed with tenderness and reached out to hug her in my arms, saying affectionately: "Xu Shu... I love you!"
Xu Shu's face flashed with joy, but then it immediately turned stern. He broke away from my embrace and kicked me in the butt again, saying viciously, "Who wants you to love me? I don't care! Go away, Hua Jingjing who loves you!" Then he kicked me again, "Go away, the flower fairy who loves you!"
In pain, I had no choice but to hide, shouting, "Xu Shu, I was wrong! I won't dare to do it again... Ouch!" Xu Shu chased me around the house, and suddenly she found that the bathroom door was half open. Fan Yunting opened her mouth wide and stood stupidly at the door in shock.
Xu Shu was so embarrassed that his face turned red all the way to the back of his neck. He turned to me and said angrily, "Why didn't you tell me there was someone in the room?"
I then remembered that Fan Yunting was in the bathroom, and said aggrievedly: "You hit me as soon as you came in, and I panicked and... forgot!"
"You're a dead man!" Xu Shu was furious, anxious, ashamed, and annoyed. He couldn't hold back his anger any longer. He stamped his feet, immediately covered his face and ran to the door, opened it, and quickly left!
I walked up to Fan Yunting and was about to explain, but she looked dumbfounded. I had no choice but to wave my hand and chase her out the door, shouting, "Xu Shu, wait a minute, don't run so fast!"
