He is so Spoiled 20

 

 Chapter 20

After a week of recuperating comfortably at the Gu residence, Su Nuo finally had his bandages removed and was allowed to go out. 

Early in the morning, Su Nuo woke up full of energy, not feeling tired at all. He leaned his head on Gu Chen's shoulder in the car, scrolling through Weibo on his phone.

Over the past few days, Su Nuo had become familiar with Gu Chen again and quickly returned to their usual way of interacting. Additionally, with Gu Chen's indulgent and doting attitude towards him, Su Nuo completely let his guard down and showed his childish and affectionate side, like a little animal, exposing his true self to Gu Chen with his soft underbelly.

When he opened Weibo, he realized that he had not logged on for a few days, and his number of followers had increased significantly. The comments under his recent post were full of encouragement and comfort from his fans, and the negative comments from before had disappeared.

"Brother! Did you buy followers for me?" 

This title was self-made by Su Nuo himself. He felt that it was not appropriate for such a tall man like Gu Chen to be called MoMo, but calling him by his name did not feel very respectful. 

Finally, he slapped his forehead and decided to call him "brother," which was both intimate and pleasant to the ear, and could be used anytime and anywhere.

Gu Chen hugged him with one hand while reading a document. When he heard Su Nuo's words, he couldn't help but smile and lowered his head to kiss Su Nuo's forehead. "My baby is not only beautiful and smart but also has a good singing voice. There's no need to buy followers. They like you because they have good taste."

Su Nuo was happy to be praised, but when he heard that he was described as "beautiful," which was a term used to describe girls, he corrected him, "It's handsome!"

Gu Chen chuckled, "Yes, I was wrong. You're handsome."

Su Nuo hummed with satisfaction and continued to look down at his phone. He hadn't touched his phone for a few days and only knew that the things online had been resolved, but he didn't know that several small storms had been stirred up for him in the past few days.

Kerry Entertainment was a bit far from the Gu residence. He had been scrolling through the news for a while but hadn't found anything. Bored, he dropped his phone and leaned over to look at the document Gu Chen was reading, only to find that it was full of foreign letters that looked like tadpoles, which gave him a headache.

He pursed his lips, then slowly moved to the window and leaned against it, swaying his head and looking at the scenery. 

His little baby was next to him, so he couldn't focus on the documents. Gu Chen put down his tablet and pulled him into his arms, "Can't sit still? You made plans with your friends later, have you decided where to go?"

"Um, just to have lunch together and then go back to the company, not going anywhere else."

"Then let's play in the company for a while, see if the studio is satisfactory, and if there are any problems, let them fix it. If you want to go somewhere, let the driver take you and the assistant follow. Behave yourself and don't worry me. I will come to pick you up at night. If you want to go somewhere later, I'll accompany you. Hmm?"

The year-end was approaching, and this was the busiest time for all companies. The Gu family's industries were spread across multiple countries around the world, and there were many strategic decisions that needed Gu Chen to make. Sometimes he had to fly to several countries in a week. He had accumulated a lot of work; it was waiting for him to handle it.

The end of the year was approaching, and it was the busiest time for all companies. The Gu family's business spanned multiple countries around the world, and many strategic decisions needed to be made by him. Sometimes he had to fly to several countries in a week, and he had accumulated a lot of work that was waiting for him to handle. Although he wanted to be with his baby all the time, it was precisely because of Su Nuo that he had to firmly control the Gu family. As long as he was in the position of the person in charge of the Gu family, he could make his beloved baby stand firmly at the top of the pyramid, and he could do whatever he wanted. Even if those people didn't want to, they had to accept it.

When Su Nuo heard that he was going to pick him up and go home together, he was instantly satisfied and happy. He obediently nodded his head and said, "Okay."

"Then I'll wait for you at the company, and we'll have dinner together at home."

Su Nuo wasn't a clingy person, so it was rare for him to express his expectations and emotions about being with someone. Gu Chen certainly understood this point. He laughed joyfully in a low voice, "My baby is really obedient."

Kerry is the top entertainment company in the industry, with a collection of big names. Qiao Wenshan is the company's top agent and one of the best in the industry. He is a true king among kings, and the actors he manages are all at the level of film emperor and film empress. None of them are unknown, and they are all household names.

Qiao Wenshan chooses his actors based on personal preference. If an actor doesn't meet his standards, he won't take them on, but because he is a miracle worker with a golden touch, Kerry has never tried to restrict him.

The last actor he brought in was a scruffy uncle in his mid-thirties who was still a background actor two years ago. He had no looks or figure, but Qiao Wenshan saw something in him and within two years, he rose to fame like a rocket. He won numerous awards for his performances, including the coveted Golden Show Award for Best Actor in a Chinese drama.

However, this time Qiao Wenshan was forced by the company to take on Su Nuo as his new client. The company's CEO, Jiang Guohui, personally convinced him to do so. Qiao Wenshan had already looked at some of Su Nuo's information and found that he was a decent candidate, which was one of the reasons why he eventually agreed. But even so, he was reluctant to take on Su Nuo if he had any other options.

When Su Nuo walked in, Qiao Wenshan was a little surprised. He looked even smaller in person than he did in his information. "Su Nuo, I'm your agent, Qiao Wenshan," he said.

"Hello," Su Nuo replied, shaking his hand briefly and nodding politely. 

Qiao Wenshan smiled and looked him over quickly. The craftsmanship of Su Nuo's clothing was exquisite, but there was no logo, so it was probably customized. Anyone who could afford such clothes was not an ordinary rich person. However, there was no Su family in the capital, so the background that Jiang Guohui had mentioned was probably not Su Nuo's own background, but that of his benefactor.

Qiao Wenshan found the situation a bit tricky, which was why he was initially hesitant to take on Su Nuo. Jiang Guohui had repeatedly reminded him to take good care of Su Nuo and not to offend him. This showed how terrifying Su Nuo's benefactor was. It was easy to bring someone like Su Nuo, who had someone backing him up, to fame and fortune, but the same pitfalls followed. Qiao Wenshan had seen too much of the backstabbing and betrayal in this industry, where gold masters frequently kept mistresses, and few were able to keep real feelings. If Su Nuo's benefactor ever turned against him, and if he failed to be cautious and discreet, he would inevitably be subject to criticism, and both he and the industry's reputation would be severely damaged.

"Even if someone is willing to support you for years, you have to be careful and restricted in many ways since you have to rely on others to benefit. There will be many problems to deal with and it could be more troublesome. No matter what, he will always have an unsettled heart in the future, which is a big headache.

After pondering for a moment, Su Nuo said seriously, "I love music and the stage, and I want to continue in this circle. However, it cannot take up too much of my time. It is only work, not life.

Unexpectedly, Su Nuo seemed 'not ambitious' and Qiao Wenshan was stunned for a moment before he spoke seriously, "Don't you want to be famous? You have to continuously present new works to the audience and be visible to the public if you want them to remember you. Even if your patron wants to see you, you still need to allocate a lot of time for work."

Su Nuo looked at him doubtfully, not understanding.

Qiao Wenshan was choked for a moment, and he didn't know what to say. He paused for a while before he spoke again, "You're still young, so you don't have to worry about it. But as time goes by, new people will keep appearing in this circle. If you can't become famous, it will be difficult to have the chance to perform on stage again."

After the brief encounter, Qiao Wenshan had already seen that Su Nuo was pure in character, not the kind of person who would act recklessly just because someone supported him. That's why he reminded him in a roundabout way to leave himself a way out.

Su Nuo frowned.

In his heart, his dream was important, but Gu Chen was more important. He didn't want to spend all his time pursuing his dream.

Qiao Wenshan thought he had figured it out and was ready to encourage him further, but Su Nuo's expression relaxed, and he said seriously, "Let's just focus on the present, not the future."

Qiao Wenshan: "......"

Well, it's no use trying to explain it now. He'll understand when he grows up. It's better to take it slowly in the future. 

Qiao Wenshan looked at the time and said, "It's still early. Shall we go visit the studio downstairs?"

Su Nuo nodded in agreement, and the two of them entered the elevator. The assistant following behind quickly stepped in and pressed the floor button.

Qiao Wenshan glanced at the assistant and didn't pay much attention at first, but suddenly looked again and realized that the assistant had pressed the 22nd floor. He quickly corrected, "Wrong floor, we should go down. Press the 17th floor."

The sturdy female assistant, holding the elevator card, calmly smiled next to Su Nuo and said, "Mr. Qiao, the 22nd floor is Young Master Su's personal studio, there's no mistake."

Qiao Wenshan looked at Su Nuo in shock.

It dawned on him that the floors above the 20th floor required an elevator card, so if he had one, could his studio be true?

The 21st floor was where Jiang Guohui and some of the company's top executives worked, but Qiao Wenshan had never been to the 22nd floor!

Cold sweat broke out on Qiao Wenshan's forehead. Who was Su Nuo's financial backer? 

How could they give Su Nuo a personal studio on the top floor of Kerry Building?!
