Urban Life: I Just Want To Work Hard!

Chapter 126: I'm here because he's here!

Li Mubai nervously looked at Xu Shiwen.

He regretted getting closer to Xu Shiwen these past few days, as it increased her potential luck towards him.

Because...

The more Xu Shiwen cared about him, the less she would care about Yun Wuyue.

And, how reliable can friendships between women be?

Li Mubai had a saying in his past life: "Beware of fire, theft, and best friends."

If Xu Shiwen really agreed to Hu Li's conditions, what should he do?

Immediately, Li Mubai planned to directly tear up the contract on the table to show Xu Shiwen his attitude.

However...

Before Li Mubai could make a move, he saw Xu Shiwen already picking up Hu Li's contract and casually flipping through it.

Whether it was self-mockery or mockery towards Hu Li, Xu Shiwen smiled and, with a "tear" sound, tore the contract into two pieces.

"I think Director Hu underestimated my character, and... I'm willing to be here because he's here!"

Xu Shiwen looked at Li Mubai with indulgence in her eyes.

Li Mubai showed a sincere smile to Xu Shiwen. He understood the meaning behind the star sister's gaze.

Xu Shiwen reassured him that she understood that Li Mubai didn't want outsiders to interfere in his relationship with the CEO sister.

Li Mubai felt that the star sister was really cool for the first time!

And, he seemed to have underestimated the friendship between women in the female-dominated world.

Xu Shiwen's rare friend was only Yun Wuyue, even though they were now rivals in love, she would definitely compete in the most proper way.

Hmm, Li Mubai decided that if he still lived under the same roof as the star sister tonight, he would definitely serve her well~

However...

Li Mubai had a question in his mind.

He only handed over that one contract, why did Hu Li have to come here like this?

There was a hint of surprise in Hu Li's eyes, but she quickly adjusted.

823 Then, Chairman Hu looked meaningfully at Li Mubai.

"It's okay!"

Hu Li stood up without showing any disappointment or frustration after being rejected, still wearing the same initial smile.

"On behalf of Xueying, I warmly welcome both of you to join!"

Xu Shiwen narrowed her eyes, smiled lightly, and responded with a sharp tone, "If Chairman Hu is so confident, why go through all this trouble?"

Yes, until the last moment, who knows how things will turn out?

He Zi Qiu is indeed a senior, and Hu Li is very confident.

But if she was really a hundred percent sure, why would she come here with such an agreement?

Naturally... Hu Li also thought of the possibility of Li Mubai and herself winning.

Although this possibility was very low, as long as it existed... it wasn't a hundred percent!

Hu Li naturally wouldn't be affected by Xu Shiwen's words. She slightly shook her head and said, "I always pursue a two hundred percent certainty in my actions. He Zi Qiu is willing to come, but if you are also willing to give up, then I can just take a flight back to the capital tonight."

Xu Shiwen remained silent...

Li Mubai whispered, "I have a question for Chairman Hu."

Hu Li smiled lightly and made a gesture of invitation, "Ask your question, I will definitely respond."

"Did you also sign a bet agreement with Yunyu Group...?"

Li Mubai looked at the expressions of the two, and Xu Shiwen didn't seem surprised at all, obviously she knew about it beforehand.

Li Mubai's eyebrows furrowed instantly.

Did Yun Wuyue also write a bet contract?

Hu Li nodded directly, with a smile on her lips, "President Yun put up three percent of Yunyu Group's shares, all on you. If you lose, she only wants you and Xu Shiwen to be free."

Li Mubai and Xu Shiwen's pupils suddenly contracted!

Although Li Mubai had been "persecuting" the CEO sister all along, staking three percent of Yunyu Group's shares was really a big gamble...

Li Mubai felt touched.

After all, he was just a newcomer who had only written two songs, but Yun Wuyue still showed him two hundred percent trust.

Not only did she put all the bets on him, but she also prepared an exit for him.

Immediately.

Li Mubai decided to win the competition and transfer the shares of Xueying Entertainment to Yun Wuyue, and then serve the CEO sister well!

Xu Shiwen's expression slowly returned to normal.

The interaction between acquaintances was as calm as water.

She put her own life in the bet contract, and Yun Wuyue added her into the contract conditions when she went back.

It wasn't a coincidence.

Xu Shiwen felt that she had done what she should do, and she believed that Yun Wuyue also did what she should do!

Li Mubai and Xu Shiwen exchanged a glance, without saying much.

Seeing that both of them fell silent, Hu Li smiled calmly, knowing that she had achieved her goal and took the initiative to bid farewell.

He Zi Qiu is a top senior in the singing industry, this is good...

The contract that Hu Li presented, Xu Shiwen agreed to it very well, but it doesn't matter if she doesn't agree.

Because she has long understood the direct relationship between Li Mubai, Yun Wuyue, and Xu Shiwen!

Even though they haven't become enemies yet, it's not easy to get rid of the knot in their hearts.

Facing opponents like He Ziqiu, not to mention their unstable state, this wave will definitely affect the mindset of Li Mubai and Xu Shiwen. If they are eliminated in the first round, won't the shares of Yunyu Group be directly in their hands?

Hu Li felt extremely relieved!

However, what she didn't know was...

"Don't worry, we will definitely win!"

In the warm light of the lounge, Xu Shiwen firmly held Li Mubai's hand. "Yes, we will."

At this moment, there are still three hours before the official start of the program at 8 o'clock in the evening.

In these three hours, after Li Mubai and Xu Shiwen changed their clothes and put on makeup, they need to cooperate with the program team to record a self-introduction of a contestant, which is equivalent to the pre-match "trash talk" in esports live broadcasts.

Just that this one doesn't insult people.

Li Mubai doesn't plan to put on makeup, his face is enough to cover everything.

But he helped Xu Shiwen put on light makeup, and then the two changed into formal attire.

Soon, the program schedule was delivered by the program team's staff knocking on the door.

They were arranged in the sixth group, second to last to appear.

The seventh group is the group where He Ziqiu is, as the finale.

It doesn't matter, Li Mubai doesn't care, anyway, the first five matches are just preliminary matches, the sixth match in five weeks is the real decisive time.

After preparing, Li Mubai asked Xu Shiwen about the matter with Yun Wuyue in detail.

Xu Shiwen knew that she couldn't hide it anymore, so she explained the coefficient of the gambling contract with Yun Wuyue.

When Li Mubai heard that the contract he had asked for not only had a higher value, but also doubled the value, he silently took a breath of cold air.

If Snow Reflection loses, the shares will be handed over to Yun Wuyue.

Wouldn't Hu Li go crazy on the spot?

Absolute controlling rights will be lost!

But thinking about it carefully, Li Mubai understood. The conditions he proposed were aimed at Yun Wuyue, and Hu Li never thought that Li Mubai would give the shares to Yun Wuyue.

Moreover, the 3% shares of Yunyu Group and the future market of all web dramas are too tempting.

Even if Li Mubai gets the shares, Hu Li can consider cashing them out with money, not to mention that Hu Li's 50% stake is very stable.

In the board of directors of Snow Reflection Entertainment, there are other directors who have been with Hu Li for many years, and their loyalty is extremely high, which together exceeds 51%.

It's just that it's always the most reassuring when you hold it in your own hands.

Li Mubai nodded and stared into Xu Shiwen's eyes. "Shiwen, then tell me, what's the deal with your free agent status?"

Xu Shiwen bit her lower lip, staring at Li Mubai without any hint of avoidance in her gaze.

"I've added my own singing career for the next fifty years to your contract!"

It couldn't have been a more obvious hint.

Li Mubai looked at his star sister and gently held her hand, sincerely saying, "Thank you!"

It was at this moment.

The door was knocked again.

Li Mubai and Xu Shiwen quickly sat down, and Xu Shiwen cleared her throat, saying, "Please come in."

It was still a staff member from the production team.

They asked Li Mubai and Xu Shiwen if they needed dinner. The production team had set up a temporary kitchen and could make some dishes that the contestants liked.

Xu Shiwen immediately wanted to shake her head.

Because she had already gotten used to the food Li Mubai made. When she took lunch on the plane, she only took a few bites and couldn't eat anymore.

She liked the taste of Li Mubai's cooking.

Li Mubai stopped Xu Shiwen and quietly asked the staff member where the temporary kitchen was.

The staff member, upon seeing Li Mubai's appearance, was stunned for a few seconds, blushed, and lowered her head to tell Li Mubai that she could take him there.

Li Mubai said a word to Xu Shiwen and then left the room.

He planned to make some porridge for his star sister to drink.

Xu Shiwen had already become picky about her taste because of him. The food made by ordinary chefs couldn't satisfy her palate.

Following the staff member to the kitchen, it took forty minutes for Li Mubai to return to the lounge with two bowls of hot porridge.

Who would have thought that as soon as he pushed open the door, there was not only Xu Shiwen in the room, but also members of the production team.

The camera was set up, obviously filming the contestants' personal introduction segment.

Li Mubai quickly adjusted his expression, placing the two bowls of porridge on the table before sitting next to Xu Shiwen.

The female host held a microphone and her eyes lit up. After Li Mubai sat down, she first asked him to introduce himself, and then continued the conversation in a casual tone.

"Sister Shiwen, why did you choose to make a comeback now?"

"It's because Mubai gave me the courage!"

The host gave a signal to the cameraman, who immediately understood and arranged for a close-up shot.

"Then... Sister Shiwen, are you and Mr. Mubai in a romantic relationship now?"

Xu Shiwen took small sips of the porridge made by Li Mubai, raised her head to look at him, smiled at the camera, and said softly and seriously,

"Not yet, but I'm interested!"

Li Mubai let out a long sigh of relief in his heart.

Steady!
