The Rich Family's Melon King Only Wants to Eat Melon, but Her Thoughts Are Heard Ch. 41

Yan Hao looked toward Mo Keyu. There it was again—that voice.

But judging from Huo Meng's completely unfazed expression, it seemed like she couldn't hear it.

So far, it looked like only the Yan family could hear that voice. Mo Keyu really was their lucky charm.

"If she doesn't want to, just forget it," Mo Keyu said. "Maybe see if someone else's available. Sorry to trouble you."

Yan Hao stared at Huo Meng with a stiff face, and Huo Meng looked away, clearly uneasy.

"In that case, I won't force you. Think it through," he said, and there was a double meaning in his final words. "Really think about who gave you everything you have today. Without Moonlight Entertainment, would you even be where you are now?"

Huo Meng's pupils contracted slightly. Did he find out her secret?

[Moonlight Entertainment already went above and beyond—throwing tons of resources at a newcomer with no background and helping her get through the toughest times.]

[That so-called top-tier entertainment company under the Gu family might not actually be better than this.]

[Huh? The Gu family's company won't accompany her and won't give her resources? That's disgusting.]

[People really shouldn't forget where they came from. If Huo Meng leaves Moonlight, she might be walking straight into a trap.]

...

Yan Hao knew the Gu family's situation better than anyone. If things were really like what Mo Keyu said and she went to the Gu family, she might end up worse off than she was now. If that was truly her own decision, then he had nothing more to say.

The smell of fireworks still lingered in the air. Yan Hao and Huo Meng stayed silent.

Mo Keyu, ever the helpful and enthusiastic citizen, couldn't help but speak up—thinking it really wasn't easy for a woman to make it out there alone.

"Moonlight Entertainment's actually pretty decent. At least the boss listens to what you have to say sometimes. President Yan's a decent guy too. A small hit comes from hype, but big success depends on fate. Sticking with Young Master Yan might just take you even higher."

As soon as she finished, the other girl gave her a sideways glare. "What's it got to do with you?"

"...Okay then." Mo Keyu shut her mouth. Respecting other people's life choices. Amen.

Yan Hao let her leave. The two people sitting next to Mo Keyu looked kind of awkward, like even they realized they were being looked down on.

"Her contract's about to expire. Let her do what she wants," Yan Hao said. "The company still has plenty of artists."

"Then I'll leave it in your capable hands, Young Master Yan," Mo Keyu said respectfully.

"It's fine," Yan Hao replied, now looking a lot less sharp than before.

In the end, the Yan family still sent over a few young male celebrities with decent popularity. The process went pretty smoothly.

After not seeing each other for a month, Yan Hao was treating Mo Keyu way too nicely, and the entire Yan family was helping her unconditionally—so much so that Mo Keyu was starting to question reality.

[System, the Yan family's seriously not bad. If anything ever happens to them, I'll do everything I can to help.]

[But I can't always rely on others either. I need to learn how to handle things on my own.]

【Good luck to you.】

Jia Shen Entertainment.

"Is there another new entertainment company popping up lately? Why are they constantly buying hot searches?" a young man asked while scrolling on his phone.

One sang outdated bubblegum pop, another blabbed cheesy nonsense—didn't even bother designing proper personas, just getting force-pushed into popularity.

"Just a small company burning cash in the early stage," another manager from the company sneered.

"Must be loaded though. Buying hot searches nonstop for days and dropping tons on marketing—probably nearly ten million spent in under a month. Not many people in our company get that kind of treatment."

"Damn, Director Liu, didn't they outrank Jiagu Entertainment* on the trending list last time? Now both of those artists are getting roasted online."

(*Jia Shen & Jiagu have different hanzi.)

"It's nuts. Good thing we've got the Shen family backing us—no one dares mess with us. The Gu family's been acting real ruthless lately, no idea what's gotten into them," the young guy, Pei Zhengming, whispered.

Just then, Director Liu's phone rang. He picked up, and his expression turned a little grim.

Pei Zhengming was still lying on the office couch scrolling on his phone.

"You should worry about yourself first," Director Liu said.

"What? What happened?"

"Your endorsement might be getting stolen."

"Endorsement?" He shot up straight away. He'd just managed to land a brand deal after all that effort. "Who is it? Who the hell dares to step on my turf?"

"Wu Xiaotian. The guy who's been all over the trending page lately," Liu said.

Pei Zhengming was stunned. A hick from the countryside was stealing his endorsement?

"What the hell is going on?"

"The brand compared your image with his. Said you looked too soft and didn't have the same high-end look as him. Plus, he's cheaper. So..."

"No way. That hillbilly's gonna steal my deal? He's been getting flamed nonstop. You think using someone like that won't ruin their rep?" Pei Zhengming was furious. If this got out, he'd be a total joke in the industry.

"His face really is better than yours," Director Liu said bluntly. "And besides, he has serious market potential. As long as his character checks out, a bit of marketing could blow him up big."

"Director Liu, even you're saying that? If this keeps up, I'm gonna be completely washed."

"I can't help you there—unless you ask the Shen family."

Pei Zhengming's grandfather's cousin's son was the current head of the Shen family. But asking a distant relative for help over an endorsement? No way could he bring himself to do that.

"Just spin the conflict as being with the Shen family. Then they'll be too scared to steal it," Director Liu said.

Pei Zhengming had some vague ties to both the Shen and Pei families, so he wasn't totally without backing.

He let out a cold snort. "Some trash company named Baozi or whatever, and they dare go up against me? I'll give them a proper warning this afternoon."

That morning, Mo Keyu received an endorsement offer from a well-reputed legacy brand. She agreed without a second thought and planned to go over the contract the next day. But by the afternoon, she got a message from Jia Shen Entertainment inviting her to dinner.

Back when Actor Wei was still around, he was the face of Jia Shen Entertainment. Even now, without him, the company still had other top stars and remained a major player in the industry.
