Chapter 5 Aren’t You Just an Agent

Pei Jinxi was certainly not courteous, directly dialing her number and adding WeChat. Under her resentful gaze, she flourished her phone toward her. Mu Qianli gave him a disdainful look and hurriedly walked away. She hadn't taken many steps when she suddenly felt someone approaching. It was Zhou Mubai, followed by a woman who appeared to be coquettishly talking to him about something unknown, while Zhou Mubai was all smiles and fussing over her, which gave Mu Qianli a splitting headache. This was happening right at the event venue! "Zhou Mubai." Mu Qianli called his name and walked over. As soon as he saw Mu Qianli, Zhou Mubai somewhat guiltily shrank back, wordlessly opened his mouth, and the,n scratching his he. He said to the woman beside him, "Sweetie, why don't you head back first? I'll come see you tonight." "You don't want that?" The woman was wearing a tight-fitting mini skirt with a loose white chiffon blouse, walking in eight-centimeter high heels. Her makeup was immaculate, her hair done up beautifully with a delicate hair clip, looking very much like a lady of high society. Her gaze shifted instantly to Mu Qianli. "Oh, you, you're that manager who just loves to meddle in our Mu Bai's affairs, aren't you? Setting his schedule so tight, keeping him from seeing me even once in days, what's up with that? You're treating him like a cash cow or something, seriously." Mu Qianli was almost choked by these words, looked at Zhou Mubai, and couldn't help but point at herself, "Me? I'm controlling you?" Zhou Mubai's expression tightened, and he quickly pulled Mu Qianli to the side, lowering his voice, pleading in his tone, "Qianli, this is the daughter of Wending Group's CEO. Her family is very wealthy, and this sponsorship I'm relying on her for, you remember, you said you won't let money stand in your way." Mu Qianli looked at Zhou Mubai in disbelief. Was he asking her to collude in his lie? She was well aware that Zhou Mubai's recent schedule had been very lax because she had recently caught him cheating, so the two had been at odds, and she hadn't arranged much for him. And now, he was using her as an excuse to deceive another woman. "Heh... Hah, so clever of you, Zhou Mubai, I underestimated you." Mu Qianli jabbed at his chest forcefully and then turned to the woman, "Miss." "My name is Lin Huahua." She arrogantly clasped her chest. "Oh, alright, Miss Zhou, we don't meddle in the private lives of artists, but this is a workplace, everyone knows that you need to be focused at work. He is at work no;, you shouldn't be here. Whatever issues you have, please resolve them after work." "What did you just say?" Her eyebrows raised sharply, looking at Mu Qianli with fierceness and anger, her heavily penciled eyebrows echoing that sharpness. "Do you even know who I am, Mu Qianli? You're just a lowly manager, relying on our Mu Bai to throw you some money. When he's pleased, he might give you some money, and when he's not, he could just replace you. What right do you have to speak to me like this? Mu Bai, replace her!" Zhou Mubai quickly grabbed Lin Huahua, "My dear, this place is crawling with paparazzi." "What paparazzi? I have loads of money. Anyone who takes a shot, you can just buy it back, no, you must replace her." "No, it's not like that..." Zhou Mubai quickly signaled to Mu Qianli, hoping she'd say something, admit fault, bow her head. Mu Qianli looked at him silently. He wanted her to bow?
