Chapter 580 Being Despised
Because Mo Yibai concealed his disdain very well, Mr. Zhou, who was nearby, almost didn’t notice. At this moment, he still wore a smiling face, “Haha, I wonder what Miss Mo is planning to auction tonight, so I can prepare myself!”
Mr. Zhou, from SwiftMedia, whose name was Zhou Xiaobin, established SwiftMedia many years ago with the help of his family. Initially, he set up the company with the attitude of playing with beautiful women, but unexpectedly, it gained quite a reputation.
People really can’t be compared, after all, some folks are born winners from the start.
With a wealthy family background and being a loyal fan of Mo Yibai, Zhou Xiaobin naturally intended to perform well in front of the goddess tonight, bidding high for her things, which was almost a sure thing.
“It’s the evening gown I wore when I received an award,” Mo Yibai replied lightly.
Upon hearing this, the expression on Zhou Xiaobin’s face suddenly became lewd, and a hint of lasciviousness involuntarily appeared at the corner of his mouth, “Heh, it’s just clothes.”
He pondered for a moment, then immediately asserted, “Since it’s a dress Miss Mo wore, it must carry her scent. I must win it tonight to have a whiff of its fragrance, hehehe!”
Damn, isn’t this guy shameless?
Xiao Shun, who was nearby, was stunned. This guy was being too explicit. If Mo Yibai’s clothes were really taken by this guy, who knows what despicable things he might do.
Mo Yibai’s expression wasn’t looking too good at this moment. Faced with such shamelessness, she was probably on the verge of exploding.
Suddenly, Zhou Xiaobin, acting as if nothing had happened, looked at Xiao Shun standing beside Mo Yibai and asked with some suspicion, “This gentleman seems quite unfamiliar, doesn’t he?”
From the start, he had noticed the man standing beside his goddess, but due to identity issues, he had refrained from inquiring.
Seeing that Mo Yibai showed no intention of introducing them, Zhou Xiaobin couldn’t hold back any longer.
Suppressing her impatience, Mo Yibai began to introduce both sides, “This is my friend, Xiao Shun.”Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Friend?” Zhou Xiaobin was taken aback, and even felt a tinge of jealousy.
Good lord, he had pursued the goddess for so long. Even if he had used all his tricks, he still wasn’t considered a friend. Who is this guy, and how did he become my goddess’s friend?
At this thought, Zhou Xiaobin forced a smile and said, “So, it’s Mr. Xiao Shun. What a pleasure to meet you.”
With that, he hesitated for a moment, then changed the subject, inquiring about this rival’s background, “I wonder where Mr. Xiao comes from. If there’s a chance, we could collaborate in private. After all, the more friends, the more opportunities, right?”
Saying this, Zhou Xiaobin reached out his hand, intending to show some friendliness to Xiao Shun. Of course, it was just for show.
Although he found the man in front of him hard to stomach, Xiao Shun was always courteous. He also extended his hand, dodging the issue, “Nothing extraordinary, just a seller of health products.”
A seller of health products? Damn, how the hell did a mere seller of health products become the friend of a goddess?
With this in mind, Zhou Xiaobin pulled back the hand that had yet to be shaken, showing no respect for this poor guy.
Seeing this, Xiao Shun found it amusing.
In this day and age, there’s really no courtesy at all.
But he didn’t think much of it. Whether someone looks down on him or not is their business, and whether he’s impressive or not is his own business!
Mo Yibai, on the side, was extremely annoyed at Zhou Xiaobin’s attitude. She truly looked down on such a contemptible person.
Zhou Xiaobin couldn’t care less. He earnestly advised Mo Yibai, his words filled with scrutiny towards Xiao Shun and concern for Mo Yibai, “Yibai, as a celebrity, you should know that your every move will be greatly magnified in the media. It’s obviously inappropriate for someone of your status to be with such a person. I advise you to consider your career path!”
Damn, what kind of person do you think I am?
He’s really shameless. After all, I’m a successful person, someone who can make the ground tremble with just a step. How come this guy makes it seem like I’m not worth mentioning?
“Mr. Zhou, please mind your status. This person is my friend after all!” Mo Yibai emphasized, her tone chilly, exuding a sense of distance.
Xiao Shun being able to take time out for her was his way of treating a friend. How could Mo Yibai allow someone to treat her friend like this?
“Friend?” Zhou Xiaobin sneered, “What’s the value of a friend? Right now, what you need isn’t a friend but development, do you understand?”
With that, he waved his hand and continued earnestly, “Yibai, you know that our company has always had great interest in you. LeShang Media may be a small company, and our resources may be limited, but if you come to us, I guarantee you can break out of Asia, even win an Oscar!”
Those in the know understood that Zhou Xiaobin’s words were not unfounded. After all, his network in the entertainment industry extended beyond the domestic sphere, with film companies even in the United States, boasting renowned international directors. As long as the money was there, winning an Oscar wouldn’t be a problem.
Faced with Zhou Xiaobin’s repeated persuasions, Mo Yibai firmly shook her head, decisively refusing his olive branch without hesitation.
“Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Zhou. However, He Zong has treated me well and has been one of my mentors. If I don’t know how to repay kindness, how can I establish myself in this industry?”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiaobin felt deeply hurt. He sighed helplessly, “Ah, isn’t the contract I offered you last time enough to show my sincerity? It was a five billion dollar contract!”
“Mr. Zhou, I didn’t expect to find you here. I’ve been searching for you for ages!” At that moment, a melodious figure floated over from behind the crowd.
Looking towards the source of the voice, they saw a woman with an ethereal beauty, leisurely approaching.
Seeing her, Zhou Xiaobin chuckled, “Haha, it’s you, Yufei. My bad, my bad.”
Liu Yufei glanced at Zhou Xiaobin with some resentment and complained, “You had me searching for ages, and here you are with Miss Mo. It seems that in your heart, she weighs more than I do!”
