Chapter 188: Powers of the Capital

Mu Sheng had finished filming her parts and was about to leave the filming location entrance when a middle-aged man stopped her.

He handed Mu Sheng a name card. “Hi there. I am Tiger Shark’s manager and I have something to discuss with you.”

Mu Sheng did not take the name card. “Yes?”

The man pulled his hand back sheepishly. “I sent you a message, but I am not sure if you saw it.”

“I did, but I deleted it.” Cat Live treated Mu Sheng well, so she had no intention of working for someone else.

The man went quiet briefly and felt awkward. “You see. Tiger Shark would like to offer you double the benefits if you join us.”

“No thanks.” Mu Sheng turned the man down right away.

“Then name your price.” The manager went all out since Li Ming was determined to get her. “Tell me what you want and I will talk to management about it. Li Group is our main investor, so I assure you that you will have a brighter future with us.”

The moment the manager brought up Li Group, Mu Sheng was reminded of Li Ming and walked out right away. She did not want to talk to Tiger Shark’s manager at all.

The manager felt frustrated when Mu Sheng got uncooperative. “Stop right there. Do you think Cat Live can protect you forever? Do you think Flourishing Age Group’s CEO can do anything he wants? I suggest you consider your options wisely. I will be waiting for an answer tonight.”

Mu Sheng finally stopped walking, so the manager felt hopeful. From the looks of it, Mu Sheng knew better than to challenge Li Group.

Mu Sheng turned to look at the manager coldly. “I don’t need time to consider. I can tell you the answer now and that’s a no.”

Mu Sheng left the moment she finished her sentence.

The manager felt deeply embarrassed by her lousy attitude. Moments later, he finally snapped out of his daze. “Does she think she is a big shot now that she has the backer? Ptooey.”

He watched as Mu Sheng got into the car and called Li Ming. “Mr. Li, Mu Sheng refused to join us no matter what I said.”

“Okay.” Li Ming narrowed his eyes. “If she’s refusing to join us, can’t you come up with some other strategy?”

“Such as?” The manager was puzzled. Mu Sheng had already said no, so what else could he do?

“She doesn’t want to join us because she can make a living at Cat Live. If we break her rice bowl, she will change her mind.”

“I see, Mr. Li.” The manager nodded and was instantly enlightened.

After hanging up the phone, Li Ming called his assistant over. “Have you sent the invitation?”

The assistant bowed. “Young Master Chu has accepted our invitation and will be here tonight.”

“Uh huh.” Li Ming waved his hand. “Go on.”

Mu Sheng had just driven out to the junction when Tang Tiantian called her on the phone.

“Sheng, I found a new script. The director wants us to meet for dinner and get to know each other to see what you think about the plot.”

Jiang Tian and Tang Tiantian had been on the hunt for good scripts for Mu Sheng. Mu Sheng had very few parts in “Song of Youth” and the filming was done.

“Sure. Where?” Mu Sheng was always very cooperative when Tang Tiantian had jobs for her.

“It’s at Lanting Private Club. I will see you there.”

“Sure.”

After hanging up the call, Mu Sheng told Li Hanchen about her plans before changing the direction and heading for the club.

Neon lights flickered throughout the streets as the sun slowly set over the city.

She drove down a hundred-meter path with trees and greenery flanking both sides of the road. Lanting Private Club was designed by an internationally renowned designer. From the looks of it, it was a hot favorite among the rich and powerful.

Tang Tiantian had never visited such a posh place in her life. She stood at the entrance waiting for Mu Sheng and felt slightly intimidated as she looked at the well-dressed high society young ladies walking ahead of her.

Tang Tiantian went over to Mu Sheng when her car finally arrived. “Sheng, over here!”

“Where is Jiang Tian?”

“Tian thought he could make it, but he got called away last minute.” Tang Tiantian went beside Mu Sheng in the hope of gaining some sense of security.

“Let’s go then.” Mu Sheng went in with Tang Tiantian.

The waiter at the entrance glanced at Tang Tiantian’s jeans and sneakers before looking at Mu Sheng’s unlabeled garments and instantly got cocky.

He stopped Mu Sheng when she wanted to enter. “Excuse me, miss. Do you have a reservation? This place is members only, so you can’t just walk in like this.”

Tang Tiantian shook Mu Sheng’s arm. “Tian only told me the private room number. I didn’t know that this place is members only.”

The moment she finished her sentence, she looked at the waiter. “We were invited and they are expecting us at the Xiaoxiang Room.”

“Pftt…” The waiter looked even more contemptuous. Xiaoxiang Room was only available to the VIP members at the club.

He had worked as a waiter here for a very long time, but he had never seen anyone enter the Xiaoxiang Room dressed in jeans and sneakers.

Moreover, he took a quick look at Mu Sheng’s car and noticed it was a random local brand that came cheap.

The cheapest cars that ever graced their parking lots were $4 to $5 billion. He had never seen anyone drive into the club using cars worth $500,000.

“What’s the meaning of this?” Tang Tiantian noticed the contempt in the waiter’s eyes and felt furious. What stupid place was this? How could a waiter look down on the club patrons?

“We have to ensure the guests have an enjoyable dining experience here, so I hope you can understand.” The waiter looked at Mu Sheng cockily. He felt Mu Sheng’s eyes were beautiful, but too bad she was wearing a mask, so he could not see the rest of her face.

“Is there such a rule that only members may enter?” asked Mu Sheng.

Her voice sounded as cold as spring water leaving the waiter stunned. “There is no such rule, but…”

The club never had such a rule. Since only big spenders came to the club, it was impossible for random people to get in.

Tang Tiantian wanted to reason with the waiter the moment she heard this. Before she was able to make her point, the waiter’s attitude suddenly changed.

His cocky expression disappeared as he beamed as brightly as a sunflower enthusiastically.

“Mr. Li, your room is ready. This way, please!” said the waiter as he bowed almost perpendicularly to the ground. His attitude towards Mu Sheng had experienced a 180-degree change.

Mu Sheng turned back to look and saw an entourage of people coming towards the door.

Li Ming’s face looked as annoying as ever. However, his typical cockiness had dissipated a little. Despite his love for the limelight, he was not standing at the center of the entourage tonight. Instead, he was walking on this side.

A gorgeous man was at the center of the entourage. Every move he made was dripping with sexiness. Also, he clearly seemed annoyed.
