Chapter 276: Chapter 277: The Husband of Thousands of Women

The sudden silence made Luo You feel extremely uneasy; he hung his head low, his face ridden with annoyance, and he twisted his body with the urge to flee the scene.

Suddenly, a burst of laughter echoed through the silent conference room.

"Hahaha, hahahaha!" He Jinxia bent over, holding her stomach, no, she couldn’t hold it in anymore!

"Hahahaha..."

At first, when Luo You heard the laughter, he felt nothing but embarrassment and wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

But laughter in excess soon loses its value.

After He Jinxia had laughed for a full minute, Luo You’s expression had returned to calm, and he eyed her expressionlessly, "That’s enough."

He Jinxia, catching her breath after several bouts of laughter, spoke with a hoarse voice, "I hadn’t realized Brother Luo’s charm was so potent."

Luo You’s mouth twitched; he felt a chill, goosebumps almost forming, and he hurriedly waved his hand, "Enough, enough, you already know the reason, stop bringing him up!"

It wasn’t that being liked by a man was unacceptable; Huaxia had laws for same-sex marriage; it was legal.

But from his heart to his body, from inside to out, he was a straight man, steel! Iron! Straight!

Being liked by the same sex was complicated enough for him, yet Zhu Ziming had confessed to him primarily for more resources; ultimately, Zhu Ziming had only seen him as a financial backer, not as someone he truly liked.

Although Luo You had no experience being liked by the same sex, he worked in the entertainment circle and had a keen eye for reading people. When Zhu Ziming confessed, he hadn’t sensed any genuine affection from him.

Later, he had pressed Zhu Ziming with questions until the latter broke down crying, hiccupping as he explained that he was afraid of not getting resources, afraid of not being promoted earnestly. Further, he mentioned his parents depended on him financially, he feared poverty, feared being unable to survive in the entertainment circle, and didn’t know what else he could do outside of it, so he had chosen this path.

At this thought, Luo You couldn’t help but shake his head slightly, sighing over how deeply calculating Zhu Ziming was.

At the time, his agency was not limited to Zhu Ziming alone; several others ranked above him in terms of development prospects, and he had high hopes for them too.

However, after this incident with Zhu Ziming, feeling pity for the young man, he subconsciously granted him several prime resources, which Zhu Ziming promptly seized, transforming from an eighteenth-tier to a second-tier artist almost overnight.

So whether Zhu Ziming had acted out of fear of not getting resources or had deliberately staged the whole thing, Luo You couldn’t determine.

Everything was too coincidental; every step Zhu Ziming took was risky but always right.

If it was just a coincidence, that was one thing, but if Zhu Ziming had intentionally engineered everything... Luo You felt uneasy, glancing at He Jinxia; Jinxia might not be a match for him.

Seeing Luo You’s silence, He Jinxia also refrained from speaking further, feeling embarrassed to continue questioning.

She had laughed far too meanly just now; she shouldn’t have laughed, but just couldn’t help it... Haha, no more thinking about it, she couldn’t contain it!

"In any case, Zhu Ziming is trickier than Li Jing. He got out on his own, and while I was angry, I also felt a bit relieved. He is a very complex individual. You should keep your distance from him, it’s best not to get involved with him or you won’t even know how you could end up getting hurt."

Luo You spoke gravely, seeing He Jinxia’s head bowed and her body trembling slightly, his mouth twitched again.

Unable to help himself, he tapped the desk with his hand, generating a sharp "bang bang" sound.

"Enough already, you’re still laughing at me! Stop laughing, what’s so funny? Don’t you know you’re also the dream lover of many women? A lot of young girls and women call you ’husband,’ don’t think I don’t know that!"

He Jinxia immediately started coughing.

Can we not mention that?!

Being the ’husband’ in the minds of countless young girls and women, she was innocent too!!

Who made the men these days so weak ***[beep—] cough, cough, no, her Sheng Yan was still very manly.

She looked around, found a bottle of mineral water in the corner, opened it and took a few sips, settled her facial expression, and brought up the matter at hand.

"Have you arranged the second reality show yet?"

After finishing "Small Bridge, Flowing Water, People", He Jinxia had been busy promoting the movie "Chen Xiaohui, Go Forward!", practically promoting as many days as the movie was in theaters.

During the promotion period, she was approached by some good scripts, which tempted He Jinxia, but as she had committed to promoting "Chen Xiaohui" during the shooting, she couldn’t abandon the promotions to film, so she had to sadly let these opportunities slip by.

After promoting "Chen Xiaohui, Go Forward!", she immediately joined the crew of "Eighteen Years Old Sky", experiencing and filming for a full month.

During that time, there was also a decent script, but she had to let go of it due to threats from the investors.

She had thought that after gaining a bit of fame, she would receive more good scripts, but as it stood, securing a good role required the right combination of timing, location, and people.

The scripts offered to He Jinxia afterward weren’t great, and she didn’t want to accept them. Seeing this, Luo You cleared her schedule for August to fit in a reality show.

Reality shows were also a great opportunity to increase national recognition. A few years ago, reality shows had debuted and shown the other side of celebrities, even boosting some second-tier stars into the first tier.

Though it was a bit difficult now to use reality shows to jump into the first tier, they were still great for boosting popularity.

"Last month, I announced that you would be doing a reality show, and many reality show offers came in. The one with the tightest shooting schedule is ’Original Inn’, you’ll join the crew on the evening of the 5th, shooting for a week, ending on the 12th."

Luo You looked down at his notebook and said.

"Starting August 20th, I’ll try to clear your schedule for a full-body SPA treatment to ensure you look perfect when you attend Fashion Week in September. I plan to release a bunch of press pieces for Fashion Week then, and you must take good care of yourself."

"So, the reality shows that can only be filmed at the end of August won’t work for you. I’ve picked out some suitable reality shows with good ratings and a certain audience base, pick one based on your preference."

Luo You opened the safe in the conference room, took out a file, and pulled out the sheet with the selected list of programs, handing it to He Jinxia.

He Jinxia blinked, staring at the safe.

Luo You followed her gaze, pausing on the safe, and explained:

"Since the conference room is not used only by me, I sorted out the documents last night. It was almost midnight, and I didn’t make an extra trip to the office, so I just put it directly in the safe here in the conference room."

"Don’t worry, the safe is shared, but I’ve changed the code. No one but me can open it, and no one else can peek at the contents of the files."
