The most outrageous thing Chen Biyun ever did was sleep with one of her own artists.
The year Xingtu Media was founded, her family laughed knowingly. "Why start an entertainment company? Don't tell us you've got your eye on some young star."
She didn't take it seriously.
Until one day, she woke up with a hangover and Shang Lijun, the newest artist signed to her company, lying beside her. The young woman woke and edged back, clutching the corner of the blanket, her eyes dewy. Chen Biyun looked like a bully who had just mistreated her.
"President Chen, about last night..."
The corner of the blanket did nothing to hide the suggestive red marks on Shang Lijun's shoulder.
Chen Biyun rubbed her forehead. She remembered drinking quite a lot, but how had they ended up in bed together? Full of regret, she got up and went into the bathroom.
She didn't see the woman wrapped in the blanket behind her curl her lips into a smile.
Shang Lijun was the first artist Chen Biyun personally signed. Back then, Xingtu was little more than an empty shell of a company, and everyone in the industry laughed that Chen Biyun had "more money than sense" for signing a pretty vase with nothing else to offer.
Later, when Shang Lijun won her first Best Actress award, she smiled onstage and said, "Thank you to my boss, Ms. Chen Biyun..."
Sitting in the audience, Chen Biyun finally admitted that her investment in this woman had long since gone beyond business.
That night, Shang Lijun placed the trophy in her arms and whispered in her ear, "Chen Biyun, I'm yours if you want me. Will you have me?"
Hidden behind that "accident" was someone's long-planned heart flutter.
