Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 949: With You Always (94)

Shang Zhen’s face immediately fell, and she sulkily said nothing more.

After Gu Lili left, she asked Long Tianjiao, "Sister Tian Jiao, do you have that kind of talisman paper?"

"Yes, I do."

"Could you help me ask Sister Lili for one too?"

Long Tianjiao unceremoniously replied, "What makes you think you deserve one? And didn’t you hear what my sister-in-law said earlier? She said she wouldn’t give you one. Are you deaf?"

After saying that, she turned and left, while Shang Zhen muttered, "Hmph, what’s so great about that."

Shang Zhen waited outside the van until Shi Xiaotian woke up before getting on.

"Have you been raising a brat ghost?"

"How did you know?"

"What do you mean ’how did I know’? You were possessed by a ghost, and it was Gu Lili who saved you, saying that raising a brat ghost would backfire on yourself and your family. Why are you raising such things?" Shang Zhen urged, "You shouldn’t do it anymore; it’s really scary. If you keep doing it, you can stop being my manager."

"Shang Zhen, what do you know? Do you realize how much credit goes to the brat ghost for your current fame and popularity?" Shi Xiaotian gave her a look, "It was mainly because I forgot to feed the brat ghost, and it probably got mad. I’ll be on time next time, and there won’t be any trouble."

Seeing her insist on continuing, Shang Zhen asked, "Aren’t you afraid of dying?"

"I told you, there’s no problem. Many artist managers raise them, and nobody has had any issues. Today was an exception."

Shang Zhen still felt a lingering fear, "I’d rather earn less money than raise those things. Besides, I’m an A-list actress now, what am I afraid of? Stop brushing it off; I’m really scared. You looked completely crazy today; everyone was scared of you."

Shi Xiaotian explained patiently, "As long as you feed it on time with good food and fun stuff, it will help you rise to new heights in your career."

"I don’t want to rise to new heights because of this. I’m not joking—if you keep raising it, then stop being my manager. We’ll go our separate ways."

"Shang Zhen, do you know how popular I am now? Do you know I can make another artist as successful as you? Do you know that if you leave me, your career will decline?"

Shang Zhen said seriously, "When Ye Ying died, you also told me about those truths. Aren’t these invisible things scarier than people with money and power? Xiao Tian, you’ve already earned a lot of money; don’t mess with these things anymore."

Shi Xiaotian pursed her lips, "Fine, then I won’t raise it anymore."

Shang Zhen believed her, thinking that Shi Xiaotian was yielding to her harsh words, not knowing that while Shi Xiaotian agreed verbally, she thought otherwise.

Being with Shang Zhen for so long, she never even realized she was raising it.

Gu Lili drove from the film set to LN Company.

Singer and artist Tan Xiao was already waiting for her.

"Sister Lili, why did you call me?"

"Have a seat, here’s the thing." Gu Lili knew he was very talented, "I want to ask for your help in composing a song. September 30th is the kid’s dad’s birthday, and I want to sing it for him. I already have the lyrics; I need you to compose the music."

Tan Xiao was surprised, "Give me the lyrics, and I’ll make sure to deliver by September 30th."

Gu Lili took it out from her bag and handed it to him, "This matter must be kept secret; only you and I should know."

"Don’t worry, Sister Lili, I won’t tell a soul before Mr. Long’s birthday."

"Alright, I’ll leave it to you."

"Sister Lili, I didn’t expect you to be so romantic."
