Chapter 131 Don't mess with my mom
"Well……"
A muffled protest came from inside the pillow, like a kitten whose mouth had been covered.
Ning Xiuyang grinned mischievously, but his large hands were not behaving properly. Through the thin silk sheet, he could clearly feel the amazing elasticity and taut curves under his palm.
"How can you help me solve this? By talking to me?"
He deliberately misinterpreted her words, his voice laced with mockery.
Shen Youyou was so embarrassed she felt like she was about to evaporate. She abruptly lifted her head from under the pillow, her pretty face flushed crimson, her watery eyes filled with anger and embarrassment: "You...you know perfectly well what I'm asking! How annoying!"
Her shy and angry expression had no intimidating power whatsoever; instead, it seemed more like she was being coquettish, which made Ning Xiuyang's heart burn with desire.
He knew he couldn't push her too hard; the fact that she'd opened up to this extent today was already a huge breakthrough.
"Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore." Ning Xiuyang raised his hands in surrender, but a triumphant smile was on his face. He leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Then... I'll have to trouble our Youyou."
The warm breath brushed against her earlobe, causing Shen Youyou's body to tremble involuntarily.
……
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
Shen Youyou leaned against the headboard, her body weak and her legs still trembling involuntarily. She glared fiercely at Ning Xiuyang, who was looking refreshed and getting dressed, her eyes filled with shame and indignation that was almost tangible.
"You...you're a complete bastard!"
"Yeah, I'm an asshole."
Ning Xiuyang readily admitted it, walked over and kissed her on the forehead, "Thank you for your hard work, Youyou. As a reward, I'll treat you to a big meal tonight."
"Who wants to have a big meal with you!" Shen Youyou retorted, but a sweet feeling welled up inside her.
She originally wanted to go with Ning Xiuyang to that "Zhengyang Media" to see for herself what was going on between her mother and Ning Xiuyang, but she had an important professional class in the afternoon and didn't dare to skip it.
"I have to go to the company this afternoon. You go back to school for class first," Ning Xiuyang said, straightening his collar and looking at her.
"I'm warning you!"
Shen Youyou immediately became alert. She sat up straight, ignoring her aching body, and solemnly warned, "You, you mustn't mess with my mom! You're not allowed to have any bad intentions towards her! Absolutely not! Otherwise... I'll never forgive you!"
Seeing her fiercely protecting her mother, Ning Xiuyang chuckled inwardly, but on the surface, he solemnly raised three fingers: "I promise, my relationship with Auntie is completely innocent, just a simple business arrangement. You're the only one in my heart, okay?"
Yes, you're all alone right now!
These words finally put Shen Youyou at ease.
Watching Ning Xiuyang's departing figure, she felt a mix of emotions. There was the embarrassment and annoyance of being taken advantage of, the secret joy of finally breaking through in their relationship, and above all, a deep worry about her mother's relationship with Ning Xiuyang.
……
2:30 PM, Zhengyang Media.
The company occupies three entire floors of a Grade A office building in the CBD of Zhonghai City.
When Ning Xiuyang appeared at the company entrance, a group of senior company executives, led by General Manager Rong Qing'e, were already lined up to wait.
"Chairman Ning, hello! I am Rong Qing'e, the general manager of our company. Welcome to Zhengyang Media!"
The woman at the head of the group was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, dressed in a well-fitting gray business suit that perfectly accentuated her mature and voluptuous figure. She wore delicate makeup and had gentle features, but a lingering sadness and weariness were evident between her brows. This woman was Rong Qing'e.
Behind her, a group of department directors and managers bowed in unison, their expressions varied—some curious, some scrutinizing, but most showing awe for their new boss.
"Hmm." Ning Xiuyang nodded lightly, his gaze sweeping over everyone before finally settling on Rong Qing'e. "President Rong, show me around."
"Okay, Chairman Ning, this way please."
Rong Qing'e respectfully stepped aside to lead the way, but her heart was pounding.
The new boss is too young, so young that it makes her uneasy.
How terrifying must someone's background be to acquire a company with annual revenue of hundreds of millions at such a young age?
Such individuals typically have their own professional management teams behind them.
As the former boss's general manager, can he keep his position under this rich young man?
Her gambling husband had racked up a mountain of debt, and she really didn't know what she would do if she lost this job.
While listening to Rong Qing'e introduce the functions of each department in the company, Ning Xiuyang observed her discreetly.
As I passed by the artist signing room, a suppressed argument could be heard coming from under the door.
"...Zheng, you need to think this through. MCNs aren't charities. We invest resources based on returns. Your mother's age is already a disadvantage among streamers. Why should the company spend a lot of money to promote her?" A slightly greasy male voice rang out, carrying a hint of condescension.
"But... my mom works really hard, and her stats are steadily improving..." a clear and stubborn female voice argued.
"Effort? These days, effort is the least valuable thing!"
The man chuckled. "However, it's not like there's no way. You're such a good catch—a top student from the Zhonghai Conservatory of Music, beautiful, and with a great figure. If you're willing to sign a contract, the company guarantees to make you a top-tier internet celebrity. Then, your mother's status will naturally rise as well."
The man paused, his tone becoming ambiguous: "Some paths are faster to take. I, Brother Li, have plenty of resources; it all depends on whether you... know what's good for you."
The girl's heart pounded, and her voice was timid. Facing the man's predatory gaze, which seemed to want to devour her, she couldn't help but feel fear. But she still mustered her courage and said, "Yes, yes, last night, my mom received a tip of over 200,000 yuan from a big brother, so... so many Carnivals!"
Upon hearing this, Ning Xiuyang stopped in his tracks.
He turned his head and saw a middle-aged man in a white shirt with slicked-back hair staring at the girl opposite him with ill intent in the signing room.
The girl was wearing a simple white T-shirt and jeans, with her hair tied in a high ponytail. She had a pure and pretty face, and her eyebrows and eyes bore a striking resemblance to the female anchor named "Tongtong Guaiguai" from last night.
Is it her daughter?
She looks even prettier than she did in the live stream yesterday. Perhaps it's because she's wearing a floral dress, which gives her a fresher and more youthful vibe compared to when she was in her pajamas yesterday.
Ning Xiuyang raised an eyebrow and activated [Eye of Truth] instantly.

Sure enough it was her.
Ning Xiuyang's face darkened.
In the signing room, Zheng Tongtong felt extremely uncomfortable under the gaze of the agent named Li Yujie. She clenched her fists, bit her lip, and said, "Besides... Manager Li, I'm here today to discuss my mother's contract, not my own."
