Mo Ming felt as if he had encountered a ghost again, as he knocked Li Xiulan to the ground. Looking at Li Xiulan, who was on the floor with flickering eyes and unable to say a word, Mo Ming hesitated for a moment but still reached out to help her up.
"I'm sorry, I bumped into you again," Mo Ming apologized. Although he still felt some resistance towards Li Xiulan, he believed that since he had knocked her down, he should apologize; it was nothing out of the ordinary.
Li Xiulan's face turned red, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at Mo Ming. When she heard his apology, she was taken aback and looked up at him. His expression was very sincere, but recalling his identity made her quickly shake her head. Biting her lip, she said, "No, no, I should be the one apologizing. I wasn't paying attention and bumped into you. I hope you won't hold it against me."
Hearing Li Xiulan's words, Mo Ming felt a wave of disgust. Such a woman was truly superficial; just a few days ago, she had dared to confront him, and now she acted as docile as a little kitten—perhaps out of fear of his status.
Mo Ming genuinely disliked women like her. Even though he appreciated beautiful women, he did not want any interaction with her.
Ignoring Li Xiulan further, Mo Ming turned and walked away. However, seeing the look of disdain on his face made Li Xiulan feel uncomfortable. After standing there for a while, she completely forgot about needing to go to the restroom and left directly.
"You ran into trouble again? Why are you taking so long?" Murong Lian asked as soon as Mo Ming returned. "I've already paid; come help me support my dad."
"Women should stay out of this; I can handle this old man," Mo Ming waved his hand dismissively and lifted Murong Wei's arm over his shoulder. Supporting Murong Wei with his back, Murong Wei stirred awake and started yelling drunkenly, "Mo Ming, let's keep drinking!"
"Drink your head off!" Mo Ming cursed under his breath. "Why is this old man so heavy? My little body is about to be crushed by him."
Hearing Mo Ming's complaints, Murong Lian asked, "Do you want me to help you?"
"Go away! What does a woman know about this? That night when you were drunk, it was me who dragged you to the hotel. To be honest, Murong Old Man is much lighter than you," Mo Ming replied impatiently while supporting Murong Wei.
Originally, Murong Lian had no idea how she ended up at the hotel. Now that Mo Ming told her it was because he dragged her there, she realized that she had put him in quite an awkward position. Remembering that scene made Murong Lian blush deeply and she dared not say another word.
The next day, Murong Lian decisively fired the troublesome Cheng Siyuan. Naturally, Cheng Siyuan's cousin Cheng Lan could not stay either. It was ironic that Cheng Siyuan had tried to win over Mo Ming just days ago; he turned out to be the mastermind behind this incident. Meanwhile, Qiu Lan was retained and officially became part of Starry Melody Company.
Due to the lack of an advertising creative director, Mo Ming proposed that candidates for the creative director position submit suitable proposals based on Yang Yuan Company's requirements. Whoever could meet Yang Yuan's criteria would be appointed as the creative director.
Yang Yuan found this suggestion quite fresh and had no major objections; thus, he agreed.
After resolving the issue with the mole within their ranks, Yang Yuan's Ultimate Electronics Company and Murong Lian's Starry Rhythm Advertising Company could begin formal negotiations. Both teams gathered in Starry Rhythm Advertising Company's conference room to start discussions.
Even the Client Department Director Ren Long, who had not shown up for a long time, made an appearance. The main leaders of Starry Melody are three people, with Murong Lian holding the power like Empress Wu, controlling the overall situation, while the Client Department and Creative Department can only handle their own affairs without overstepping. Now that Cheng Siyuan is gone, only Ren Long remains.
Murong Lian organized the materials in her hands and spoke, "Mr. Yang, we are clear about your company's requirements. As for the financial aspect, I believe we should increase it by ten percent. You must understand that we at Starry Melody are the most influential advertising company in Nanhua. If you let us assist you, developing in Nanhua City will be much easier."
"I think this price is already quite reasonable," Yang Yuan said while fiddling with his ring, smiling. "I believe Miss Murong understands that Starry Melody is not what it used to be. The outside world claims that Cheng Siyuan was merely a useless person who could only steal ideas, while the real creative genius, Wu Zhenning, has already run away."
"Mr. Yang, that's not quite right," Ren Long frowned and replied. "Regardless of what rumors circulate outside, we at Starry Melody have absolute confidence in delivering a creative proposal that satisfies your company. Even if it's true that Wu Zhenning is a creative genius, I believe that if there can be one Wu Zhenning, there can certainly be a second one. We hope your company can show some sincerity."
"Ah, Director Ren really knows how to speak," Yang Yuan said dismissively as he shook his head. "It's a pity that it sounds like a vendor boasting about their own goods."
Ren Long felt embarrassed and didn't know how to respond. At this moment, Murong Lian quickly intervened to ease the tension: "Mr. Yang is just joking. As Director Ren mentioned, we at Starry Melody have absolute confidence in providing your company with satisfactory advertising creativity. Therefore, I hope Mr. Yang will consider my suggestion to raise the price by ten percent."
"Of course," Murong Lian set down her materials and looked at Yang Yuan. "If your company lacks sincerity and thinks it can take advantage of this situation, then please find someone else."
"Then there's no room for negotiation," Yang Yuan shrugged and joked, "Miss Murong, is this an eviction order?"
Seeing this exchange between Yang Yuan and his assistant Liu Hu, who had come for negotiations, cold laughter escaped from him as he said, "It's truly laughable that you at Starry Melody, given your recent operational status, dare to discuss cooperation prices. It's ridiculous; if you don't accept our terms..."
Slap...
A crisp sound echoed through the conference room.
Yang Yuan rubbed his hand and looked somewhat angry as he said, "I haven't even spoken yet; why are you trying to show off? Who do you think you are to insult Miss Murong's company like this? Apologize immediately."
Feeling wronged, Liu Hu covered his face and apologized, "I'm sorry, Miss Murong. I just spoke out of turn; please don't take it to heart. I'm sorry."
What Liu Hu had just said had offended everyone from the Starry Melody Company. Now even with an apology, Ren Long was not buying it and coldly replied, "We can't accept such an apology."
"Director Ren, enough. Since he has apologized, let's not hold a grudge to avoid losing our dignity," Murong Lian interrupted and then smiled at Yang Yuan. "Mr. Yang, please don't take offense; perhaps due to earlier remarks, everyone was feeling tense. No worries; let's continue discussing our cooperation."
"No need for that, let's do as Miss Murong suggested and raise the original cooperation price by ten percent. Now Miss Murong should be satisfied," Yang Yuan said with a smile. "Our collaboration with Starry Melody is definitely sincere."
"We have already felt Young Master Yang's sincerity," Murong Lian stood up, and everyone else followed suit. Murong Lian extended her hand to Yang Yuan and said, "Here's to a pleasant cooperation."
"Yes, I hope Miss Murong won't let me down," Yang Yuan also shook hands with Murong Lian, then released her hand.
"Han Xue, immediately draft a new cooperation agreement; we will sign it right away," Murong Lian instructed.
"Understood, President Mu. I'll take care of it now," Han Xue replied and promptly went out to draft a new agreement. When Mo Ming saw Han Xue come out, he smiled and asked, "So, did it work out?"
"Yes, President Mu is impressive; she managed to raise the cooperation price by ten percent in one go. I'm now drafting a new agreement," Han Xue answered while working on the document.
Soon, Han Xue finished and hurriedly brought the new contract back to Murong Lian.
There was no further discussion between the two parties; they signed the cooperation agreement on the spot, marking the official collaboration between Ultimate Electronics Company and Starry Rhythm Advertising Company.
Yang Yuan came out of the office and saw Mo Ming sitting there playing on the computer. He walked over with a smile, followed by Liu Hu.
"Hey, isn't this Miss Murong's little bodyguard?" Yang Yuan mocked. "Let's see what you're busy with. Wow, DOTA? Not bad! You play quite well; maybe you should consider becoming an esports player."
Mo Ming revealed a slight smirk but ignored Yang Yuan's comments.
"Little bodyguard, why are you silent?" Yang Yuan didn't get angry at Mo Ming's attitude but turned to Liu Hu and said, "You know, one night this little bodyguard told me he was Miss Murong's husband. Isn't that hilarious? Some people just think they can reach for something beyond their grasp."
"Is that so? How interesting! It's hard to believe there are such shameless people in the world," Liu Hu played along with Yang Yuan, both of them speaking loudly on purpose.
The surrounding staff overheard and began to whisper and laugh among themselves.
Li Minghan, who had long been displeased with Mo Ming, joined in on the mockery and said, "What Young Master Yang said is true; I also think this kid Mo Ming is shameless. Just because he looks a bit youthful doesn't mean he can be a kept man. Who knows? President Mu clearly doesn't think much of him."
"Wow!" Yang Yuan pointed at Li Minghan and said, "Kid, you really have a bright future. You know how to talk, and I have high hopes for you."
It was unclear whether Yang Yuan's words were a compliment or sarcasm, and Li Minghan felt so awkward that he couldn't say anything in response. He could only lower his head and focus on his own tasks. Meanwhile, Yang Yuan leaned closer to Mo Ming's ear and said, "You better not get too close to Murong Lian. She's mine. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless and making you disappear along with your past."
"Haha..." After saying that, Yang Yuan was about to leave.
"Kid, behave yourself!" Before leaving, Liu Hu attempted to pat Mo Ming on the head. However, Mo Ming quickly grabbed his wrist, a smirk appearing at the corner of his mouth.
This was the time for Mo Ming and Liu Hu to compete with each other. Liu Hu's face turned red as he found himself unable to move his hand at all, a sharp pain shooting through his wrist.
"Ah... Kid, are you looking for trouble?" Liu Hu couldn't hold back any longer. Knowing he was weaker than Mo Ming, he quickly used his other hand to form a fist and swung it at Mo Ming. Mo Ming suddenly stood up and turned around, using his other hand to wrap around Liu Hu's fist.
Mo Ming mockingly shook his head and said, "How scary! Don't hit my face; I still need it to attract girls."
"..." Liu Hu could no longer tolerate it and used his legs as well. However, Mo Ming's legs were faster and stronger, directly kicking Liu Hu down to the ground. Mo Ming taunted, "Hehe, why such grand gestures? I'm not your grandpa; I can't handle it!"
"Enough! Do you want to tear down the company?"
