The divorce comeback system arrived right after I was born.

Chen Zhi looked at Lin Wanwan's flushed face and leaned over to ask for some "interest".

Lin Wanwan obediently closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

Just as their lips were about to touch.

"Achoo!" Lin Wanwan suddenly turned her head and sneezed.

She rubbed her nose and stuck out her tongue a little sheepishly: "I probably caught a bit of a chill in the underground parking garage."

Chen Zhi tore off a tissue and handed it to her, then casually put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her closer to him: "I told you to wear something warmer, but you didn't listen. Hurry up and eat, and I'll take you back to your hotel early after you finish eating."

He was secretly delighted.

As long as Lin Wanwan is under his watchful eye, tonight's chaotic scene will definitely not happen. No matter how shrewd Pei Ningxue is, she can only stare at Su Man at the dinner party right now.

At the same time.

Inside a luxurious private room in the rooftop Chinese restaurant of the China World Hotel.

Zhang Yiming sat in the main seat, chatting with several senior executives about the second half of the short video industry.

Pei Ningxue sat to his right, exuding a cold and aloof aura that kept strangers at bay.

Sitting opposite her was Lin Wanwan's manager, Su Man.

"Ms. Su, it's been a long time since I've heard so much about you." Pei Ningxue raised her glass in a toast, a perfectly timed smile on her lips. "I really enjoy Ms. Lin Wanwan's songs, and I was quite looking forward to meeting her today."

Su Man picked up her cup, took a sip, and put on a professional smile: "President Pei, you're too kind."

As a seasoned veteran in the entertainment industry, Su Man was on edge from the moment she stepped inside.

Of course she knew who this excessively young girl in front of her was.

CFO of Deep Space Technology.

Even more crucially, Su Man knew that the owner of Deep Space Technology was Chen Zhi.

Chen Zhi is currently getting along very well with his artists.

Su Man's mind raced. Why did President Pei make a special appearance tonight and even bring up Lin Wanwan? Was it just a formality, or was there something else going on?

"Wanwan has been preparing for the competition these past few days and her throat isn't feeling too good, so I let her rest at the hotel." Su Man responded flawlessly, following her prepared explanation. "If there's an opportunity in the future, I'll definitely have her pay a visit to President Pei in person."

"Really?" Pei Ningxue chuckled softly. "That's such a pity."

She lowered her eyes, concealing the mockery in them.

Resting at the hotel?

That's a lie.

Given Chen Zhi's scoundrel nature, he's probably already lured someone away to some secluded corner for some intimate time.

Pei Ningxue saw Chen Zhi's guilty and ashamed appearance this afternoon, and she knew exactly what was going on.

Okay, Chen Zhi.

Didn't you want to keep her hidden away? Weren't you afraid I'd see her?

Then I'll try a different way of playing.

After a few rounds of drinks, Zhang Yiming and Su Man had almost finalized the idea of ​​Zhang Yiming becoming the spokesperson for the music video brand.

Su Man secretly breathed a sigh of relief, just about to find an excuse to end the dinner.

Pei Ningxue suddenly put down her chopsticks.

"Ms. Su." Pei Ningxue wiped her mouth with a napkin, looked up at Su Man, and said, "Since the cooperation with Musical Notes is almost finalized, Deep Space Technology would like to join in the fun."

Su Man was taken aback: "What does President Pei mean?"

"We are also very optimistic about Lin Wanwan's future prospects." Pei Ningxue interlaced her fingers. "Deep Space Technology is about to launch Moss's independent domestic APP, and we need a spokesperson with national recognition."

"Three years, 100 million yuan, as the exclusive brand ambassador for our Deep Space Technology in China."

The executive next to him, whose hand was trembling as he played a musical note, dropped his chopsticks onto the bone plate.

Even Zhang Yiming couldn't help but glance at Pei Ningxue.

One hundred million in three years?

This is not a market price at all; this is throwing money at people! Although Lin Wanwan just won the "Singer" championship, she is still relatively unknown. At most, her asking price is over ten million a year. Is Deep Space Technology just burning money?

Su Man gasped in shock.

"Really, Mr. Pei!?" Su Man suppressed her inner elation.

I went out for a meal and ended up getting such a huge freebie?

This is Deep Space Technology! The hottest unicorn in China's tech industry right now! Getting their endorsement deal in China will definitely give Lin Wanwan a terrifying leap in commercial value.

Moreover, this is Chen Zhi's company.

A thought suddenly flashed through Su Man's mind: Could it be that Chen Zhi was behind it all, trying to use the company's money to promote his girlfriend?

But the next second, Pei Ningxue's words shattered her illusions completely.

"However, I have conditions." Pei Ningxue leaned back.

"What are your conditions? Feel free to name them," Su Man quickly replied.

Pei Ningxue smiled slightly.

"For the next three years, Lin Wanwan cannot officially announce any relationships."

"Of course, in the entertainment industry, it's normal to create on-screen couples and spread rumors. As long as there aren't any photos that are too conclusive, like kissing or checking into a hotel, the rumors don't count."

"If we can achieve this, the 100 million contract can be signed tomorrow."

Su Man's smile froze.

She finally realized what was happening.

As her manager, she knew all too well how hopelessly love-struck Lin Wanwan was. That girl wanted to be glued to Chen Zhi every day, and dreamed of winning a Golden Melody Award so she could publicly call him her husband on Weibo.

Three years without an official announcement?

Given Lin Wanwan's clingy nature, it was only a matter of time before paparazzi captured intimate photos of her!

Even more alarming, as Su Man looked at the composed and unperturbed CEO Pei, an extremely terrifying thought suddenly popped into her mind.

Could it be that this CEO Pei knows about the relationship between Chen Zhi and Lin Wanwan?

If that's the case, then this 100 million contract isn't a business collaboration at all.

Lin Wanwan, didn't you want to go public?

Didn't you want to tie Chen Zhi up?

Okay, I'll give you 100 million and top-tier business resources. The price is that for the next three years, you'll be a clandestine mistress. If you dare to go public, or if you're caught red-handed, you'll face exorbitant breach of contract penalties and complete disgrace.

"Ms. Su, why are you silent?" Pei Ningxue picked up her wine glass, took a small sip, and said, "Do you think this condition is too harsh? If Miss Lin Wanwan is already in a relationship, then this collaboration may need to be re-evaluated."

Pei Ningxue's move was a calculated scheme.

She wanted to put Lin Wanwan on the hot seat.

"I wonder if Lin Wanwan is currently... in a relationship?" Pei Ningxue looked at Su Man with a half-smile.

Su Man swallowed.

What could she say? If she said yes, then the entire 100 million contract and the resources from "Piano Dance" would be lost.

To say no? That would be to personally put this shackle on Lin Wanwan.

"No." Su Man gritted her teeth and forced herself to meet Pei Ningxue's gaze. "Wanwan is currently in the rising phase of her career and is definitely not in a relationship. We can completely accept President Pei's conditions."

"That's good." Pei Ningxue nodded in satisfaction. "I'll have the legal department send you the contract tomorrow."

She put down her wine glass and stood up.

"Mr. Zhang, Ms. Su, I have some business to attend to at my company, so please excuse me."

Pei Ningxue picked up her bag and walked out of the private room without looking back.
