Winged Neko: Sorry I’ve missed 2 Sunday releases! Something has changed with my job, I’ll try and fit in a 3rd release on a weekday.
Some were happy, others were sad. Zhang Mao was feeling depressed, but manager Wang was beaming.
“That’s fantastic! Signing a star like Shen Qingshu for just one million. Director Han, you’re truly amazing! Did you anticipate this from the start? That’s why you suddenly chose him.”
Han Cheng smiled, thinking, of course not.
He genuinely wanted to give Shen Qingshu one hundred million as a meeting gift. After all, he liked him so much, but…
Han Cheng couldn’t help but glance toward the door. He was now certain that Shen Qingshu knew him, and even had a crush on him.
Otherwise, why would he push away the one hundred million he could earn and offer only a symbolic one million?
This was clearly an attempt to save him money. If he’d only just met him, or if he had no feelings for him, why would he have to put himself in such a difficult position?
When it comes to making money, who would complain about having too much?
So Shen Qingshu must be like him. He’d seen him in his dreams, too, and liked him. That’s why he was so eager to protect his own interests the first time they met.
It was exactly like his dream.
Han Cheng’s smile deepened. He turned to the brand manager and said, “Am I such a simple person? I chose him because he’s the right person, not because of the money. This 100 million is his, and will go to him.”
He could just give it to him as a gift.
“But don’t worry, it won’t be charged to the company’s account.”
It will be charged to his own account.
Manager Wang was confused and had a bewildered look on his face. He had no idea what their director was trying to do, but as long as it wasn’t charged to the company’s account, it wouldn’t have anything to do with him, and the rest wasn’t his concern.
Just as he was thinking, he saw Shen Qingshu and his agent come back and take their seats.
“I’ve discussed this with Qingshu. He’s a simple-minded guy. He truly loves your game, so he doesn’t care about fame or fortune. He only wants one million. But going forward, I hope you’ll appreciate Qingshu’s sincerity and provide the necessary services and publicity. And after him, don’t sign any more celebrities, whether for endorsements or promotions. Is that okay?”
“Of course,” Manager Wang said with a smile.
“Then let’s sign the contract quickly,” Manager Wang said, smiling, fearing that Shen Qingshu’s agent would start raising prices.
“Yes,” Zhang Mao reluctantly agreed.
The four of them happily finalized the endorsement agreement. Shen Qingshu stood up and, along with Zhang Mao, escorted Han Cheng and manager Wang out.
He didn’t glance at Han Cheng again, quietly walking beside Zhang Mao, his demeanor businesslike, as if this was truly their first meeting.
“Have a safe journey back,” Zhang Mao said, watching the elevator doors open, made a gesture of invitation, and said goodbye to Han Cheng and Manager Wang.
Shen Qingshu smiled and said, “Goodbye.”
Han Cheng glanced at him, and Shen Qingshu’s smile remained unchanged. “Goodbye, director Han.”

Han Cheng couldn’t bear to leave just like this when he saw his attitude of saying goodbye. Before coming, he had been a little worried. That this Shen Qingshu just had the same appearance, name, and profession, but wasn’t the person from his dreams. But after meeting him tonight, he was 100% certain that this was the same Shen Qingshu from his dreams.
He hadn’t even had a proper conversation with him yet, so how could he leave like this?
So, just before entering the elevator, Han Cheng turned to look at Shen Qingshu and asked gently, “Qingshu, have you eaten yet? If not, why don’t you join me?”
Zhang Mao: ？？？？？？？What does this mean? Why not invite him? Why only Shen Qingshu?
Is he attracted to Shen Qingshu?! That’s why he only invited Shen Qingshu?!
Manager Wang: ？？？？？？What do you mean by “me”? Shouldn’t it be “we”? Director Han, you forgot about me! I haven’t even eaten yet!
Zhang Mao was about to refuse when he heard Shen Qingshu say cheerfully, “Okay, thank you for treating me, director Han.”
Zhang Mao: ！！！！！！！
Zhang Mao turned to look at him, his eyes filled with shock. You’re actually going! You two really do know each other, right? When have you ever had dinner with Party A without me?
Han Cheng leaned aside and gestured toward the elevator. Shen Qingshu patted Zhang Mao’s shoulder, “Go home! I’ll be back later.”
Zhang Mao: ……
“Call me when you get back,” Zhang Mao said helplessly. “I have a lot of questions for you.”
“Oh,” Shen Qingshu replied, entering the elevator.
Han Cheng finally got in and the doors closed.
Zhang Mao watched, feeling overwhelmed. What’s their relationship? What’s going on with you, son? Father’s really worried!
Han Cheng looked at Shen Qingshu standing in the elevator, his eyes completely fixed on him. He asked him gently, “What do you want to eat?”
“Barbecue,” Shen Qingshu said. “I remember there’s a pretty good barbecue place nearby.”
“Okay,” Han Cheng agreed happily.
Manager Wang, standing nearby: …Aren’t you going to ask me? Are you really not taking me with you, director Han?”
Manager Wang soon knew the answer. As soon as they exited the elevator, Han Cheng bluntly told him, “Manager Wang, go back first. Qingshu and I are going to eat.”
Manager Wang: …So I’m really not going? I haven’t eaten either, director Han!
Manager Wang lowered his head dejectedly and walked towards his car.
Han Cheng led Shen Qingshu to his car, opened the door, and let him in.
Shen Qingshu waited until he closed the door and walked around to the other side before letting out a subtle chuckle.
He knew Han Cheng, who had suddenly appeared today with a 100 million yuan contract, wouldn’t just leave with a few words. So, he deliberately didn’t even glance at Han Cheng as he was about to leave, just to see what he would do.

Sure enough, he didn’t leave immediately.
Now, Shen Qingshu was certain he had the memories of their life in the book. This was definitely his Han Cheng!
Shen Qingshu leaned back in his chair, feeling elated. Today has been a truly joyful day.
“Are you happy?” Han Cheng noticed his arched brows as soon as he got in the car, and couldn’t help but smile as he asked.
“Director Han treated me to a free meal, so of course I’m happy.”
Han Cheng nodded. “If that makes you happy, I can treat you to dinner every day.”
Shen Qingshu instantly became happier. He turned to glance at him, but said nothing.
Han Cheng didn’t say anything else. He started the car, asked for the restaurant’s address, and started the navigation.
The barbecue restaurant wasn’t far from the Chengfeng Building where they were. Ten minutes later, Shen Qingshu and Han Cheng were already seated at the barbecue restaurant.
“What would you like?” Han Cheng asked. “I’m guessing you like grilled chicken wings, grilled sausages, grilled pork belly, and beef tripe with bean curd, right?”
Shen Qingshu nodded. “Yeah.”
“Then what do you think I like?”
“I’m guessing you like grilled tendons, spicy beef, and…” Shen Qingshu leaned close to his ear and whispered, “Me.”
Han Cheng: ! ! !
Han Cheng unconsciously glanced over at him and saw Shen Qingshu looking at him with a smug look, his eyes bright.
Damn, he’s too good!!
Just like in his dreams, he’s just too good at seducing people!
