Stepmother: I Am Asked To Give A Kidney To My Half-Brother

The fact that Star Creation could help stars become popular with every signing was enough to show how capable this management company was at developing stars!

So Lu Ming chose the first option without hesitation. “Alright, let’s collaborate. I will manage this portfolio well.”

When Chu Jinyu saw that he did not reply for a long time, she thought that he was going to reject her. Just as she was about to persuade him to accept her offer, he unexpectedly agreed. After heaving a sigh of relief, she took out the contract that she had prepared beforehand and said, “Let’s sign it.”

“Okay.”

Lu Ming asked as he signed, “There’s something I don’t understand. Why are you helping me? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll mess up?”

He knew that such a good opportunity was something that others could only dream of. Many people had tried so hard to forge a partnership, but he got it with just a few words. “If those people find out about this, they will probably want to commit suicide,” he thought.

Chu Jinyu smiled and said, “I have faith in you.”

She was willing to pin her company on Lu Ming and risk it all because she believed in him.

Seeing her expression, Lu Ming was stunned at first. Then he felt a warm surge in his heart. He reached out and rubbed the top of her head. “Silly girl, don’t worry. I won’t mess this up.”

No one would have thought that the person who trusted him the most was actually a childhood friend who had no blood ties with him.

And the two of them had been separated for six years.

Chu Jinyu smiled at him and said, “I look forward to your performance.”

They chatted for a while more before Chu Jinyu’s phone rang. The caller was Wu Yong. As soon as she picked up the call, a panicked voice came from the other end. “Chairman Chu?”

“Supervisor Wu, why did you call?”

“I shouldn’t have bothered you, but the situation is really urgent and I have to call you. Are you free now?”

“An emergency?”

“Did something happen at the company?” she thought.

This made Chu Jinyu wonder. “I’m free.”

“It’s like this. Originally, we had agreed with the celebrity to shoot the new lipstick commercial today, but she suddenly threw her weight around and quit. Now we can’t find any other celebrities on our side. If we don’t launch the commercial at the agreed time, we might lose millions of yuan!”

“Why did the deal change suddenly?” she wondered.

Chu Jinyu asked, “Who is that female celebrity?”

“Shu Shengzi.”

The person on the other end paused for a moment before continuing, “She was from Starsource Company previously.”

Lu Ming raised his eyebrows slightly. “Starsource again?” he wondered.

“Could it be that the Lu family is behind this again? They are really persistent,” he thought.

Chu Jinyu’s expression instantly turned ugly. Of course, she knew that Starsource had a close relationship with the Lu family. After all, everyone knew that the Lu family wanted a piece of the pie in the entertainment industry, so they had invested in Starsource long ago. Although on the surface the boss was someone else, the actual authority was the Lu family.

So the only possibility she could think of was that Lu Ze had done it intentionally to take revenge on her for rejecting him in public.

“Okay, I’ll be right there.”

After hanging up, she stood up and said apologetically, “I have something to do. Why don’t…”

“I’ll go with you. There might be a solution.”

Since she had helped Lu Ming, he naturally wanted to return her favor.

Chu Jinyu did not think too much about it. She just thought that he was curious about her life and readily agreed.

On the other side.

Lu Ze, who was lying comfortably in bed, was enjoying some grapes. The bandage on his face had not been removed. “Is everything done?”

“Young Master Lu, don’t worry. Because of Shu Shengzi’s impromptu strike, it’s already a mess over there. When the time comes and they don’t launch their commercial on time, the product will hit the shelves late and they will definitely suffer heavy losses!”

Brother Zhang said with a bruised face. His injuries were all inflicted by Lu Ze. If not for the fact that he still had to rely on the Lu family to survive, he would probably have run away.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ze laughed loudly. As his expression was too exaggerated, the wound tore open again!

He took a deep breath and said with a dark gaze, “Spending 500 thousand yuan to put Shu Shengzi on strike and making that b*tch lose more than a million yuan—that’s my win! Damn it! She really doesn’t know what’s good for her. Does she think I can’t fix her?! No matter how f*cking rich she is, how could she recover so quickly after losing so much money?!

I’ll make her kneel on the ground and beg me!”

Ever since he was humiliated by Chu Jinyu in public a few days ago, all he had been thinking about was revenge. It would be best if he could use this opportunity to make demands.

As for the source of the 500 thousand yuan, he had naturally borrowed it from his friends. Lu Yaohua and Tang Wenyi were both very tight on cash now, so how could they let him spend it on such a thing, especially when the other party was someone from the Chu family? They could not afford to offend them.

Brother Zhang controlled his expression and said, “As expected of Young Master Lu, such an idea is absolutely perfect! I’m sure it won’t be long before you can have the beauty in your arms!”

“Of course!”

Insolent laughter filled the room.

Meanwhile, at the filming location.

The atmosphere was heavy and the two sides were in a deadlock.

Initially, all the preparations were done—not only the filming location, the crew, but also the schedule for the other supporting roles. However, the problem lay with Shu Shengzi.

A gorgeous woman in a white dress was standing outside the set, twirling her brown hair with her index finger in a leisurely manner. She was Shu Shengzi, who was famous for her charm.

“I told you, I’m not doing any shoots. No matter what you say, I won’t start work.”

A man in a suit standing at the side had a worried look on his face. “Ms. Shu, this is considered a one-sided breach of contract, right? Don’t you think you should honor the terms? Do you know how much losses our company will suffer if this goes on?!

He paused for a moment before continuing, “You said that your hairstyle was not good. I asked the hairdresser to change your hairstyle more than ten times. You said that your clothes were not good. I asked someone to buy dozens of sets for you at the last minute! You also said that your makeup was not good, that the temperature of the air conditioner was not good, and that you were picky about all sorts of things! Those who don’t know might even think that you had been sent by the higher-ups to check on hygiene!”

He was really tired of being tormented. His patience had a limit. They had been at the beck and call of Shu Shengzi and had fussed around her. In the end, she simply said that she wanted to cancel the show without even bothering to give a reason!

This was playing him like a monkey!

“How much did the person behind you give you? I’ll give you the same price! As long as you shoot this endorsement.”

Shu Shengzi hesitated for a few seconds before saying arrogantly, “Even if you pay, it’s useless.”

Although this was a big company, its Shanghai branch company was not that big..
