I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack

Chapter 53

When Jing Zhen heard this, he was stunned for a moment. “New boss?”

Where did this new boss come from?

Neither his wife nor his daughter had accepted the company. Did Madam Yun gift the company to someone else?

If that was true, it was over.

Jing Zhen had wanted to hint to Brother Li about his relationship with the Yun Family, thinking that he’d be able to pay a lower penalty fee this way. However, if Madam Yun had given the company to someone else, then he couldn’t make use of this connection.

When Brother Li saw his disappointed look, he misunderstood. “That’s right, a new boss. Madam Yun has changed the company’s legal owner to someone else. Our Royal Ocean Entertainment now has a new boss! Kudos to you for making a mistake at this time and also not having a high status. The new boss will definitely not let you off easily.”

There was contempt in his gaze. “You now have two options. The first one is to sign an extensive cooperation contract with the company and guarantee that you’ll abide by the company’s orders in the future, not violating any rules!”

Although Jing Zhen wasn’t popular, his face was too good-looking. To be honest, Brother Li really didn’t want to give up on him just like that.

Moreover, Jing Zhen was also obedient and never picky with the characters he played. He’d act whatever role he was told to… It was hard to find an artist like this with good acting skills in the entertainment circle.

Jing Zhen wasn’t sensitive toward contract-related stuff and had always been simple-minded in this aspect. However, Shen Qianhui asked subconsciously, “What extensive cooperation?”.

Brother Li looked at Shen Qianhui and sized her up. “This must be Madam Jing. The extensive cooperation is to change the payment allotment ratio from the current 9:1 to 20:1. The contract duration will also be extended to 30 years. If you can accept these terms, I can put in a good word for him in front of the new boss.”

Shen Qianhui frowned. “The terms of this contract are too harsh. We won’t sign it. Let’s terminate the contract.”

Brother Li sneered. “Are you sure you want to terminate the contract? Do you know, if you terminate the contract with Royal Ocean Entertainment, it means that you’ll be terminating the contract with the entire Yun Family! By then, he can forget about staying in the entertainment circle!”

Shen Qianhui was never one to make enemies, but she wouldn’t allow others to bully her either. She took a step forward and said forcefully, “Let’s terminate the contract.”

Although she was gentle, she looked very dignified when she spoke with a straight face.

Brother Li’s eyes narrowed.

At this moment, a commotion rang out from the door and someone came running in. “Brother Li, he’s here! He’s here!”

Brother Li asked, “The new boss is here?”

“No, no.”

The person panted heavily while saying, “It’s the heavenly king, Jin Chi`en.”

“What?!” Brother Li’s eyes gleamed. “He came personally? He’s really giving face to our new boss!”

After saying that, Brother Li ignored Jing Zhen and dashed straight to the entrance to welcome Jin Chi`en.

Shen Qianhui didn’t know much about the entertainment circle and looked at Jing Zhen, feeling puzzled. “Who is that?”

Jing Zhen explained, “He’s the biggest celebrity in our company. The songs he sings are a great hit across the country, and he has a very high status in the entertainment circle. He’s also the most amazing artist under Brother Li. ”

When Jing Zhen said this, his tone didn’t sound too good.

Shen Qianhui couldn’t help but get close to him and ask in a soft voice, “The two of you aren’t on good terms?”

Jing Zhen said, “Who am I to be on bad terms with him? He’s a heavenly king at the very top. Who am I…”

His tone sounded worse as he spoke.

Therefore, Shen Qianhui didn’t ask any further.

Both of them looked toward the entrance and saw a man entering with long strides, surrounded by people. Brother Li was smiling as he spoke to him. Popularity was a good nutrient. Although this man was in his forties, he was glowing with vigor.

The moment he stepped in, all the staff members, small-time actors, as well as some interns instantly looked toward him. They gasped. “Teacher Jin!”

Jin Chi`en smiled and nodded at them.

However, there was no joy in his eyes.

Brother Li was speaking softly, “You made the right choice to come. After all, this is who we depend on for our livelihood. We have to show them more respect.”

Jin Chi`en said coldly, “I know what to do.”

Brother Li said fawningly, “That’s right, that’s right. The new boss might even be your fan!”

Jin Chi`en paid him no heed but looked toward the front.

Right now, there was a whole group of people crowding around him. Jing Zhen was at the very back of the crowd, but from Jin Chi`en’s perspective, Jing Zhen’s exquisite and mischievous looks as well as his tall figure were the limelight in the entire hall.

Jin Chi`en’s countenance turned even grimmer.

Jing Zhen’s face was the source of his crime!

Jing Zhen wasn’t looking at Jin Chi`en at all but was staring at Shen Qianhui. When he saw that she was also looking over like all the rest of the people, he spoke with a hint of jealousy in his voice, “You’ve heard of his songs before, right?”

Shen Qianhui immediately retracted her gaze and wrapped her arms around his arm, saying softly, “You know me, I know nothing about music at all. In my eyes, you’re a lot more handsome than he is!”

Her words made Jing Zhen feel very satisfied and he raised his chin proudly.

The two of them were speaking softly to each other when Jin Chi`en’s voice suddenly rang out. “Jing Zhen, it’s been a while. This is… Sister-in-law? Aren’t you going to introduce us?”

Jing Zhen said warily, “There isn’t a need to.”

Jin Chi`en looked at Shen Qianhui. This woman was gentle and dignified, clearly from a well-to-do family. Moreover, he heard that she had given birth to a daughter for Jing Zhen, but from her appearance, it was hard to tell her age.

Putting her real age aside, she looked like a woman in her thirties and even Jin Chi`en, who had gotten used to looking at beautiful women in the entertainment circle, couldn’t help but praise her in his heart.

Jin Chi`en suddenly smiled. “Why isn’t there a need to? Back then, we debuted as a duo.”

His words made Shen Qianhui feel surprised. “Debuted as a duo?”

Jing Zhen narrowed his eyes and a sharp gleam flashed. However, he didn’t say a word.

On the other hand, Jin Chi`en continued, “That’s right. The two of us were a duo. It’s a pity that later on…” NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Brother Li helped to chip in. “It’s a pity that Jing Zhen failed to live up to expectations. He didn’t have any popularity, couldn’t sing, and had no talent. He could only go into acting. However, with him leaving, things went well for Teacher Jin. Otherwise, if Teacher Jin had to continue to carry this burden, he wouldn’t have achieved his status today!”

Jin Chi`en looked at Jing Zhen with the attitude of a senior and chided him, “But I heard from Little Li that you aren’t working hard in acting either? You’re even acting haughtily? Jing Zhen, one mustn’t be half-hearted when doing things. Since you’ve given up on singing and taken the path of acting, then you have to put in the effort and hone your acting skills…”

Jin Chi`en was saying this on purpose.

Jing Zhen was lucky. Even though he wasn’t popular in the entertainment circle, he still found himself a rich woman with his good looks.

But what if this rich woman were to see his sorry state?

Jing Zhen gritted his teeth angrily and said with a grim countenance, “I don’t need you to teach me.”

“Jing Zhen, how can you talk to Teacher Jin like this? There are many people who want Teacher Jin’s guidance, but he doesn’t have the time to do that for them. It’s your great blessing that he’s willing to share some of his experience with you!” Brother Li scolded, “Hurry up and apologize to Teacher Jin! Otherwise, when the new boss comes, I’ll tell him that you offended Teacher Jin. You’ll definitely be smothered then!”

Jin Chi`en smiled and waved his hand. “Little Li, I’m talking to an old friend here. Why do you keep butting in?”

Brother Li immediately nodded fawningly. “I just can’t accept his disrespect toward you.”

Jin Chi`en put on a magnanimous front. “You have to consider his feelings too. Back then, we debuted together, but now…”

He didn’t finish the sentence, but everyone present knew what he was going to say.

Now, Jin Chi`en was a heavenly king in the singing industry, while Jing Zhen was still struggling as a small-time actor.

The difference in their statuses was too wide.

Jin Chi`en lowered his gaze. “It’s natural for you to be jealous of me. I heard that you acted haughtily when you were hired for a role and offended the sponsor. Now, you’re kicking up a fuss of wanting to

terminate your contract… You’re already so old, why put yourself through all these? Why don’t we do this? I’ll put in a good word for you in front of the new boss and forget about this matter. How about it?”

Jing Zhen sneered. “Jin Chi`en, don’t try to pretend to be a good person here. Who cares for your hypocritical show of affection?”

Brother Li scolded, “Jing Zhen, know what’s good for you! If Teacher Jin were to put in a good word for you, we might be able to let this matter slide! Teacher Jin’s status in the company is untouchable now…”

Brother Li had just said this when another round of commotion broke out at the entrance.

Then they heard someone shouting, “The new boss is here!”

Brother Li immediately turned and ran to welcome the new boss.

Although the other people liked Jin Chi`en, their boss was who they relied on for a living, thus they quickly went to welcome the new boss. As a result, Jin Chi`en, Jing Zhen, and Shen Qianhui were left behind.

Jin Chi`en looked at Shen Qianhui and said, “Sister-in-law, you should try to persuade him more. Ever since things went better for me, he started to ignore me. We should get together more in the future.”

“Bullsh*t!” Jing Zhen pointed at him. “Don’t think that I don’t know why over the years, each time I gained a little bit of popularity, it’d be suppressed. It’s all because of you putting money into doing things behind my back!”

Jin Chi`en wasn’t angered. He just lowered his gaze and spoke in a softer voice, “You should thank me. At least, I let you continue to stay in this circle. But now, since you don’t know what’s good for you, you can forget about staying! It just takes one word from me to the new boss to smother you!”

He had just said that when the people at the entrance came in.

Everyone turned over and saw a cold beauty walking in. Next to her, there was a five-year-old child who came skipping in, his pitch-black eyes sizing up the surroundings.

Suddenly, the child looked over and his eyes lit up.

Jin Chi`en’s lips curled into an amicable smile.

Jin Chi`en had heard that the new boss was a five-year-old boy and was worried that the latter hadn’t heard of his songs before. But by the looks of the new boss’s excited gaze, Jin Chi`en looked proudly at Jing Zhen and said, “See that? I didn’t expect that the new boss is my fan too.”

He had just said this when the boy jumped up and then came dashing over. “Grandpa!”

When Jing Zhen saw Chu Tianye appearing here, he was in shock. ‘???’
