Outrageous! Who said my wife is vain?!

lounge.

"Shen Zhe, I like you so much, can I get your autograph?"

"Me too! I've watched every drama you've acted in, especially your portrayal of Lin Xia—you were so handsome!"

"You look even better and more handsome in person than on TV."

At this moment, the handsome man who was being enthusiastically surrounded by several staff members asking for autographs was none other than Shen Zhe, one of the guests.

With his neat short hair, angular face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, wheat-colored skin, and a height of 1.85 meters, he exudes a youthful and energetic handsomeness.

When he debuted, he happened to play a leading male role that perfectly matched his own temperament, and he became an overnight sensation.

Unfortunately, it didn't take off; it only stayed popular for a short time before fading into obscurity. However, this is a common occurrence in the entertainment industry.

Faced with such enthusiastic fans and staff, Shen Zhe still wore his signature cheerful smile, "Thank you for your support, okay..."

Before she could finish speaking, her assistant interrupted her, "Ms. Shen, company policy prohibits you from signing autographs outside the company."

The group, who had been overjoyed, now looked somewhat embarrassed and, too ashamed to continue their antics, whispered, "We don't know..."

"Excuse me."

"Teacher Shen, we're so happy to see you..."

Shen Zhe's face darkened, and he shook his head at his assistant, "Xiao He!"

Then she turned to a few fans, smiling gently, "It's okay, I'll sign autographs for you, but please don't tell anyone, or I'll be in trouble."

After saying that, he winked at them.

The fans' hearts were pounding like they were on a rollercoaster; their eyes lit up, and they kept excitedly asking, "Really?"

"Won't this cause you trouble?"

"We won't tell anyone, not even to anyone."

"Thank you so much! You're so kind! I'll be a fan of yours forever!"

"I promise I won't tell anyone."

"No problem then, give it to me." Shen Zhe took the autograph book from their hands and signed it for each of them.

He would also ask from time to time what he wanted to say, or if there was anything he wanted him to write down, while the assistant next to him looked like he wanted to say something but couldn't.

Several fans were incredibly excited after receiving the autographs, repeatedly saying thank you and promising to always support him. They were clearly completely captivated by Shen Zhe.

Just then, there was a knocking sound at the door.

"Please come in."

"Hello, Teacher Shen." The person who entered was the coordinator in charge of the coordination, followed by two other people.

Shen Zhe nodded slightly in response.

"Ms. Meng, this is the guest lounge. Please rest here for a while before the show begins."

"it is good."

After finishing his speech, he left, taking with him the staff members who were surrounding Shen Zhe. They would probably get scolded after leaving the room.

However, as she left, she didn't forget to turn back and wave to Shen Zhe, her face full of admiration. Shen Zhe also smiled and waved back to them.

Seeing this, Meng Xue, who had just entered, snorted and, with her assistant, chose a seat furthest away from Shen Zhe.

Mengxue wore a wine-red, form-fitting dress, which perfectly showcased her graceful figure.

Exquisite makeup, bright red lips, flowing curly hair, ultra-high stiletto heels, and accessories from various luxury brands adorning her ears, neck, and wrists.

In the words of her fans, she exudes a powerful aura, the air of a wealthy heiress, and the presence of a queen.

Mengxue glanced at the clock on the wall, frowned, and said, "That Mingxi is really putting on airs, playing the grand finale!"

The assistant quickly chimed in, "Yes, we still have a scene to film after the show. Sister Xue, you're so busy, yet you came so early. Mingxi is nothing compared to you. But these days, it's rare to see an artist as dedicated as you."

The assistant's flattery did nothing to ease Mengxue's bad mood; the main problem was seeing Shen Zhe.

If it weren't for the recent emergence of several competitors in the same field who are also gaining momentum, her popularity would have dropped significantly.

She was thinking of using this show to generate buzz, and since the production team offered her enough money, she wasn't going to participate.

At this moment, Shen Zhe suddenly chuckled and advised, "It's already autumn, so keep your temper in check to avoid getting overheated."

Meng Xue snorted coldly, "Sir, are you talking to me? I don't think we know each other well. Are you deliberately trying to flirt with me? Did your 'Dream Girls' reveal their true colors as soon as they left?"

He thought he was just trying to offer some kind advice, but she retorted with barbs. Shen Zhe's face darkened. "I just said something out of concern. Do you have to be so sarcastic and mocking? I thought we were friends."

"Friends? I don't have friends like you! Stay away from me, or someone might buy articles saying I'm shameless and that I'm throwing myself at you."

Mengxue felt an urge to tear her hair out whenever she saw Shen Zhe. That damned man! He was the one who pursued her, but he dumped her as soon as he got involved with a rich woman.

I dumped him, fine. I'm not the kind of person who lingers on a jerk. Who knew that our past relationship would be exposed by the paparazzi?

Before she could say anything, Shen Zhe issued a statement refuting the rumors, and his choice of words was quite "skilled".

This caused his fans to constantly criticize her online for being a gold digger, and rival fans also took the opportunity to spread rumors.

Her statement was completely ignored by them. If it weren't for the online trolls hired by Shen Zhe stirring up trouble, Meng Xue would have twisted her head off.

Just as the atmosphere between the two was becoming increasingly tense, there was another knock on the door.

To escape the awkward atmosphere, Shen Zhe's assistant rushed to open the door, and the person who came in was none other than Ming Xi, who was playing the "grand finale" role.

Now that all three guests had arrived, the coordinator didn't go out immediately but instead held a short meeting with them to go over the process and point out some important things to note.

However, the meeting only lasted about ten minutes before the coordinator took them directly backstage.

The live broadcast will officially begin in about fifteen minutes, so the guests and hosts need to meet in advance.

Mengxue's face darkened further as she looked at Mingxi, who was chatting with Shen Zhe.

She had short, jet-black hair, fair skin, a small face, a pointed chin, and large, slightly upturned cat-like eyes that exuded an indescribable beauty and charm.

Wearing a Hermès suit, GU shoes, Kaya earrings, a Polaroid coin necklace, a Kaya ring, and a Ma brand bracelet… Was he here to walk the runway?! Or was he here to compete with her?!

Her persona is that of a wealthy heiress; how could her outfit be outdone by a minor celebrity? What's wrong with this production team? Didn't they give her any prior notice? How are they handling this?!

And then there's Mingxi, he looks so frivolous, I wonder which sugar daddy he's got to be so arrogant.

Now she's bickering with Shen Zhe again. Going on a show with those two really lowers her standards.
