He is so Spoiled 23

Chapter 23

Although the studio was opened for him by his elder brother, it was located in Kerry's place and the manager was also from their company. So, was he really an artist of the company?

Su Nuo was still unaware that Kerry was also under Gu Chen's company, and this fact made him confused.

After analyzing the situation for a while with another newcomer in the entertainment industry, they couldn't come up with any conclusions. It was pointless to keep circling around the same point, so they changed the topic of conversation.

In the end, Lin Xiatian decided to sign the contract. He thought that since Kerry was willing to spend so much money on Su Nuo, it was impossible for them not to sign a contract with him. They even assigned a manager to him, so he would eventually have to sign. The most important reason, of course, was that the company was the one he begged his elder brother to change to, and he had already arranged everything for him.

He was already an annoying illegitimate child, and now he was causing trouble everywhere. Lin Ting might end up killing him. Lin Xiatian knew himself well and wanted to go back early to please his benefactor. After all, if someone helped him with something, he would have to repay them. 

Su Nuo also had to discuss his schedule with his manager. As soon as they got into the company elevator, they went their separate ways, agreeing to meet again on the next program.

Qiao Wenshan was already waiting for him. When Su Nuo asked him, he went straight to the point. He had already helped Su Nuo with the GRACE advertisement endorsement, and now Su Nuo didn't have any other work except for a TV program. He was unstable and too eager to accept advertisement endorsements, which was not conducive to his future development.

Su Nuo listened to Qiao Wenshan as he flipped through the invitations he had handed him. Qiao Wenshan was concise and organized, and Su Nuo had almost made up his mind after following his train of thought.

Qiao Wenshan picked three invitations for him, all for next year. One was a singing competition program, and the other two were TV drama theme songs. Su Nuo chose the theme song of a Xianxia costume drama with a soft melody. Qiao Wenshan took the one he selected and handed him another folder.

"The program you participated in before is going to be on a variety show in a few days. The level is pretty good, and there aren't many people participating. Including you, there are only ten people. If you participate, it will be a big help for you. At least, you can become more familiar to the audience." Qiao Wenshan said, "But it depends on whether you want to participate in the variety show or not. If you don't want to go, we have other options. You don't have to force yourself."

This was the difference between Qiao Wenshan and other managers. It wasn't because he was dealing with Su Nuo that he was particularly tolerant, but rather, it was his nature. He knew how to play the game in the industry and understood all the rules, but he didn't have a strong sense of personal gain. He knew how to guide his artists without imposing his own ambitions on them. He was the perfect person to accompany Su Nuo in this industry, which was why Gu Chen had chosen him.

"I'll go." Su Nuo took the invitation and looked it over. It was the variety show that Lin Xiatian had mentioned before. It was said to have innovative and fun segments, and he was quite interested in it.

"Okay, since the exposure this year is enough, we can wait until next year to promote more when you have new works. Also, although the studio will help manage your schedule, you should also frequently post updates on Weibo, such as selfies and the like. You young people understand this, so I won't say too much about it."

"As for your character design, I don't think we need to deliberately set it up. Your appearance and personality are already very appealing, so just maintain your normal state, and you will feel more relaxed."

Su Nuo nodded and pushed the script towards him, pointing to one of the sections and asking a question.

At that moment, a chaotic sound of footsteps was heard, and Qiao Wenshan looked up through the glass door, suddenly startled. A group of high-level executives, who were difficult to see on a regular basis, had all come up to the 19th floor and were heading their way. The tall and imposing man leading the group was his boss, Jiang Guohui, who was showing an unprecedented respectful attitude towards the man behind him.

Su Nuo was stunned for a moment and followed his gaze, meeting a pair of cold and profound eyes. In that instant, a smile spread across the indifferent eyes, and the icy chill surrounding him melted away.

"Brother!" Su Nuo jumped up in excitement and ran towards him, not stopping until he flung himself into the man's arms.

Gu Chen opened his arms and embraced him tightly. The two had a considerable height difference, with Gu Chen being almost a head taller than him. Su Nuo rushed into his muscular chest just right.

Gu Chen lowered his head and rubbed his forehead. "Slow down, be careful. Did you hurt yourself?"

Su Nuo buried his head in his arms and lightly rubbed his face against Gu Chen's palm. "It doesn't hurt."

His voice was a bit strained, and Gu Chen noticed that something was wrong, so he held his chin in his hand and lifted his head. He saw Su Nuo's slightly red nose and teary eyes and immediately felt sorry for him. "It's red. Don't say it doesn't hurt."

Gu Chen leaned down and carefully rubbed his nose, reminding him, "Be careful when you walk."

The pain was only momentary, and Su Nuo didn't really hurt himself. When he realized there were so many people around, he suddenly felt a bit embarrassed. He turned his head to avoid Gu Chen's hand and shook his head, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

Gu Chen chuckled and rubbed his soft head. "Let's go home?"

When Su Nuo murmured a soft "Mm-hmm," Gu Chen took his hand and waved, indicating that they didn't need to follow along. The two of them walked out holding hands.

There was complete silence in the office throughout the process, as if everyone was immersed in a deadly silence. The only person among them who had seen Gu Chen before was Jiang Guohui, who had seen him from afar at the annual meeting of the Gu family five years ago when Gu Chen returned to China.

But he had heard some rumors about this person who held the power of the Gu family. He grew up abroad and took control of the Gu family's power in Y country at a young age. After Gu's grandfather passed away, he took over the entire Gu family's business empire in just a few years and expanded its assets by more than twice. This was not just amazing, it was terrifying.

No one knew how much worth the Gu family's industry really was, but Gu Chen's cold and ruthless personality had spread through the aristocratic circles in recent years. Although no one knew what had happened, it was evident that no one dared to approach him anymore. His cold and ruthless demeanor was not just a rumor.

His methods were thunderous and merciless, and he was the only one in the capital city who everyone respectfully called "Master" when they saw him.

However, the more one knew about these things, the more shocking the scene just now was. Who did he invite back? Su Nuo was like a god! Even if he was just a mistress, he was still being kept by Master Gu! It was no different from being studded with gold.

Moreover, from the look of things just now, Su Nuo had definitely pleased Master Gu. Jiang Guohui thought for a moment and called the stunned Qiao Wenshan back to the office, intending to personally instruct him on how to properly serve him.
