27: Chapter 27: Taking Action for the Endorsement

Chen Shaoping's current state was exactly what Li Qian wanted to see; this was how a boss should be.

Wang Bo walked into the office with a long face, sporting two dark circles under his eyes.

"Da Ping, what's the matter? You had to wake me up; I hadn't been asleep for long."

Wang Bo hung his head, his body as limp as a soft-shelled shrimp.

"What's wrong with you? Did Sister Qian torment you all night? You look very weak, don't you?"

Chen Shaoping looked at Wang Bo, who was sprawled on the sofa, and mocked him.

"Get lost! I was arguing with those little 'black fans' all night; it infuriated me, and I didn't sleep well."

"I really admire you! You actually have the time for that. You weren't using your main account, were you?"

"Am I stupid? I temporarily registered a new small account."

"Hehehe!"

Wang Bo chuckled, then asked, "Da Ping, you still haven't said what's up. If there's nothing, I'm going back to sleep."

"Look at you, you lazy oaf. Sister Ying has already gone to her announcement; she's more popular and works harder than you."

Chen Shaoping wanted to beat him up but gave up, thinking he might not win.

"I'm sending you a song right now; you need to practice it immediately. You have an hour and a half to practice, then come with me somewhere."

"If this falls through today, I'll definitely instigate Sister Qian to keep you from touching her for a month."

Seeing Chen Shaoping speak seriously with a stern expression, Wang Bo didn't dare to retort and carefully examined the song Chen Shaoping sent.

His body slowly straightened up, and he looked at Chen Shaoping as if he were a monster.

"Da Ping, I love you too much! I knew you wouldn't forget me if something good came up."

Wang Bo made a move to stand up and give Chen Shaoping a loving hug.

Suddenly, the door opened, and Zhou Juan walked in.

"CEO Chen, you called me."

"Yes, come take a look. Can you put some makeup on his panda eyes to cover them up and make him look more energetic?"

Zhou Juan glanced at Wang Bo, gestured with her hands twice, and replied.

"Yes, but it will use up quite a bit of makeup."

"It's fine, just do his makeup now. Later, have him compensate you with new products."

"Okay, CEO Chen. I'll go get my things."

Wang Bo naturally heard their conversation, but his attention was already drawn to the song.

He had no intention of voicing an opinion.

Meanwhile.

Sixth Courtroom, Baiyun District Court.

Tian Jun stood ramrod straight, listening to the judge's verdict.

[According to Article ** of the Dragon Kingdom Criminal Law, the defendant Zhu Dongning is found guilty of molestation and rape, and the methods of his crimes were cruel. His criminal acts pose a great danger to society, and his attitude in admitting guilt is poor, hence a severe sentence is imposed.

The defendant Zhu Dongning is sentenced to life imprisonment, deprived of political rights for life, and fined 20,000 yuan. The sentence is effective immediately.]

Zhu Dongning, standing in the defendant's dock, collapsed onto the ground like a rotten maggot after hearing the judge's verdict.

His eyes were vacant, his face ashen; he probably didn't have many good years left to live.

Someone in the audience started applauding, and soon thunderous applause erupted.

Tian Jun also breathed a sigh of relief.

He took out his phone and sent a message to Yang Mengmeng.

Then he sent one to Chen Shaoping as well.

When Chen Shaoping saw Tian Jun's message, his previously annoyed mood, caused by Wang Bo, immediately brightened.

He felt incredibly relieved; there couldn't be better news than this.

He immediately forwarded this good news to Yang Mengmeng.

"Roar!"

"Awesome!"

Chen Shaoping roared twice.

Wang Bo and Zhou Juan looked at him as if he were insane.

He didn't mind and continued to throw a combination of punches.

At 11:00, Wang Bo had almost mastered the song.

The two drove towards Jingjiang Hotel.

Chen Shaoping looked at Wang Bo and couldn't help but admire Zhou Juan's skill; there was no trace of dark circles left.

"Second Bo, the main reason I brought you here today is to try and secure an endorsement for you, a very important one."

"Later, perform well. Don't feel any pressure; just be yourself."

Wang Bo nodded solemnly.

When the two got out of the car, the weather wasn't cooperating; it started to drizzle.

Bringing a hint of coolness to the sweltering heat.

Chen Shaoping wasn't sure about Zhong Qinghou's temperament, so he was unsure which method of meeting would be best.

Finally, he decided to try a more polite approach first.

He and Wang Bo went to the front desk.

The female attendant immediately stood up and said enthusiastically.

"Gentlemen, how may I help you?"

Chen Shaoping replied, "Hello, we are from Tongxing Entertainment Company and would like to visit CEO Zhong in room 178. Could you please call the room for us?"

He handed over a business card, which the female attendant took and examined carefully.

Then she said, "I'm sorry, but we cannot call guests arbitrarily unless the guest has given instructions."

"You can call his mobile phone yourselves."

Chen Shaoping rolled his eyes; if I had his mobile number, I wouldn't be bothering you.

For some reason, the system hadn't provided Zhong Qinghou's phone number this time.

"Just connect the call, and we'll speak to him ourselves."

Wang Bo chimed in, "Be flexible, miss."

"No, I cannot be flexible."

The attendant insisted on not making the call and returned the business card to Chen Shaoping.

There was no choice but to try other methods.

The two blended in with other guests, avoiding the front desk's view, and successfully entered the elevator.

Who would have thought that you needed to swipe a card to select a floor in the elevator?

This was one of the most anti-human designs Chen Shaoping had ever seen.

The guests they followed only went up to the 15th floor, leaving them to climb two more floors.

When the two arrived on the 17th floor, Chen Shaoping checked the time: 11:05.

There were still four minutes, plenty of time.

Having been there a few days ago, Chen Shaoping remembered the room layout clearly.

He led the way quickly without even looking at the room numbers.

Wang Bo, who was carefully checking, saw Chen Shaoping had already walked far ahead and quickly followed.

"Da Ping, wait for me."

There was little noise in the hotel, making Wang Bo's voice sound very loud.

"Keep your voice down," Chen Shaoping said, turning back and lowering his voice.

When they reached room 178, Chen Shaoping was about to knock or ring the doorbell.

The door to room 179 opened, and a burly man in a black suit walked out.

He quickly moved to block Chen Shaoping and Wang Bo.

"Gentlemen, do you have an appointment? If not, please leave."

Chen Shaoping stated their purpose, intentionally raising his voice.

Wang Bo instantly understood and began to cooperate with Chen Shaoping, even singing a few high notes.

Making Chen Shaoping's eardrums ache.

The big man saw through their intentions and began to physically remove them.

The two certainly wouldn't leave easily, so the three of them started pushing and shoving.

The loud noise outside naturally alerted the people inside the room.

An elderly man with heavy eye bags frowned slightly, put down the documents in his hand, and stood up.

He opened the door, "What's all this noise? Aren't other guests sleeping? Come in if you have something to say."

The three followed the old man inside.

"Speak."

"CEO Zhong, these two want to..."

"Let them speak for themselves." The big man was cut off by Zhong Qinghou before he could finish.

From the old man's tone, Chen Shaoping sensed displeasure.

It seemed they had overplayed their hand.

"Elder Zhong, hello! We are Chen Shaoping from Tongxing Entertainment Company, and this is my colleague Wang Bo, who is also a singer."

"Hello, Elder Zhong." Wang Bo greeted politely.

"The reason we are disturbing you is that we know your company is looking for a male celebrity to endorse Wahaha Mineral Water."

"So we are here to offer our services, hoping Elder Zhong can give us an opportunity."

Zhong Qinghou looked at the two coldly, "Why should I give you an opportunity? Is it just because he looks decent?"
