48: Chapter 48 The Beautiful Boss's Celebrity Best Friend!

"Boss, it's you! I wasn't talking behind your back!"

Shen Zhou didn't know what was going on today; why were there so many chaotic things happening?

Shen Zhou hadn't even finished arguing with his system yet.

Then, the very next second, a phone call from Lin Lan landed Shen Zhou with another new task for no reason.

"You weren't bad-mouthing me behind my back? Then why did you change your ringtone?"

"This, uh... why is everyone so concerned about that?"

After Lin Lan said that, Shen Zhou finally remembered what had happened earlier.

Because just before, when he was on a blind date with Mu Shanshan, Mu Shanshan had mentioned his ringtone.

Unexpectedly, his ringtone had now attracted the attention of his beautiful boss as well.

"What's wrong? Is there someone else concerned about your ringtone?"

Just as Shen Zhou was reminiscing.

Lin Lan's follow-up remark made Shen Zhou shrug helplessly.

"It seems this ringtone is indeed a bit retro. I'll have to change it back later if it doesn't work out."

Shen Zhou muttered to himself.

"My beautiful boss, do you have any new instructions for me?"

"Could it be that you missed me and suddenly want me to go warm up your cold bed?"

Shen Zhou directly changed the subject, raising his eyebrows cheekily.

"What are you thinking? I've been so busy lately! It's like this..."

After ending the call, Shen Zhou realized that Lin Lan really did have something else to talk to him about.

The reason for the call stemmed from a celebrity signed to their company, specifically an internet celebrity.

As mentioned before, Shen Zhou's company was actually an entertainment agency.

Since it was an entertainment agency, it inevitably had a lot of contact with people like internet celebrities.

This time, Lin Lan had come to him because of an internet celebrity.

Chen Xiaoran, an entertainment star who had just debuted a few years ago.

When she first debuted, she was just an unremarkable streamer whose main content was filming short clips of herself dancing on live streaming platforms.

However, later on, because she was extremely beautiful and had a model-like figure, standing at 1.73 meters tall.

A talent scout took notice of her.

They signed her as an artiste for an entertainment company, claiming they would tailor-make some massive web drama for her to make her completely go viral across the entire internet.

However, the real world is extremely cruel, and after waiting for over a year.

Chen Xiaoran was ultimately disappointed; that so-called entertainment company was actually just a shell company.

They hadn't created any real opportunities for success for Chen Xiaoran at all.

On the contrary, they frequently found various excuses to make Chen Xiaoran do some unspeakable things.

Chen Xiaoran was a girl with principles, so naturally, she refused.

As a result, at that point, the boss of that entertainment company and the damn talent scout who had found her earlier used the contract she had been tricked into signing as a deed of indenture to blackmail her.

In desperation, Chen Xiaoran happened to encounter her lifeline, which was none other than Shen Zhou's beautiful boss, Lin Lan.

When Lin Lan heard that such things as forcing innocent women into prostitution were happening in the entertainment industry in their Magic City.

She immediately used the various connections and channels at her disposal to forcibly rescue Chen Xiaoran from that hellish fire pit.

From that moment on, Chen Xiaoran, who had been an unknown internet celebrity, became Lin Lan's good friend and sister.

At the same time, with the assistance of her beautiful boss, Chen Xiaoran, who already possessed excellent physical attributes, truly embarked on her acting career.

Along the way, she had sailed smoothly to her current position as a third-tier celebrity.

"Xiaoran recently accepted a few major productions, and her pay might increase significantly."

"So she wants to look at some houses in advance, specifically those at Ziyu Mansion."

"The one where many celebrities live; she said living there would be helpful for her career."

"I have something to do tomorrow, so you go with her!"

"Ziyu Mansion?"

After hearing what Lin Lan had arranged, Shen Zhou was stunned.

He hadn't expected that just after receiving a luxury mansion in Ziyu Mansion from the system, he would have the opportunity to go to Ziyu Mansion to look at houses the very next second.

He didn't know if this was arranged by the system or just a pure coincidence, but either way, it was quite a coincidence.

"What's wrong? Are you unwilling to go? You're unwilling to go look at houses with such a beautiful girl as Chen Xiaoran?"

"No, no, how could I be unwilling? I'd be more than happy to!"

Shen Zhou said quickly.

"More than happy to? Oh, Shen Zhou, Shen Zhou, you've finally shown your true colors. Tell me, are you the type of person who eats from the bowl while eyeing what's in the pot?"

"Uh... Boss, it seems like you're setting me up!"

Only then did Shen Zhou realize that he seemed to have been led into a trap by Lin Lan.

They were talking about things properly, and then suddenly there was a major twist.

How was Shen Zhou supposed to prepare for that in advance!

They say a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea; Shen Zhou finally understood that now. You can't afford to be careless for even a second!

Fortunately, just as Shen Zhou was wondering how to explain himself to his beautiful boss.

Lin Lan seemed to change her tone.

She switched to a somewhat resentful yet seemingly resigned tone.

"Sigh, you can just take it as me setting you up!"

"Actually, I know you're still young, and I'm already thirty! The age gap between us is too big, so some things are unlikely."

"So, I haven't really hoped for anything in that regard."

"Shen Zhou, listen carefully. I don't have any other requirements for you, just one: I hope you won't forget what happened between us."

"Boss, what do you mean by that? Can you be clearer?"

"Get lost, figure it out yourself!"

Even after ending the call, Shen Zhou was still completely confused.

He didn't know what his beautiful boss was actually trying to tell him.

However, judging from the tone of Lin Lan's call, Shen Zhou seemed to be able to guess a little bit.

And that little guess was that Lin Lan didn't seem to have the idea of keeping him all to herself.

"Could it be that my beautiful boss is hinting that she's okay with me enjoying the blessings of having multiple women?"

Shen Zhou pondered to himself.

But before Shen Zhou could figure anything out, his phone suddenly rang again.

"What's going on? Why is everyone talking about my ringtone as soon as they call!"

"Today is really strange!"
