I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack

Chapter 56: Another Sock Puppet Account

Translator: Lordbluefire

Shen Ruojing’s peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly before she coldly replied, “I’m not interested.”

“…”

The other party had prepared a lot of things to say, but with this reply, his words were all stuck in his throat. Only after a long period of silence could he ask, “How can you be uninterested?”

Shen Ruojing’s gaze flashed before she spoke confidently, “Although I’m just a lazy ordinary person, I know that there’s no free lunch in the world. I don’t have anything I can use to transact with you, so please stop bothering me.”

After saying this, she directly hung up.

Chu Tianye who heard her words. “…”

The little fellow asked in a probing manner, “Mommy, don’t you want to get together with daddy?”

Shen Ruojin answered, “He can’t remember me so why should I get together with him?”

“In that case, why don’t you investigate the reason why he doesn’t remember you?”

Naturally, it was because she had thought things through.

After contemplating, she told herself that as long as he knew he was the father of their children, it was already enough. As for the other matters, were they something a retiree like her should worry about?

Her calm and relaxed life only had ripples because of Chu Cichen’s appearance. Right now, she had to let the track of her life return to normal first.

Shen Ruojing rubbed Chu Tianye’s head. “That is his matter, there’s no need for me to worry about it. Alright, I’m going to send you home.”

She glanced at the time. “I still have to play chess at the public plaza at 6 p.m.”

Chu Tianye’s lips twitched. “You are only 26 and not 62, okay?!”

(Not wanting to work hard when young? What if the hundreds of millions in your bank depreciate in value?)

(Sigh…there’s no choice. I have to be the one to bear the responsibility of raising this family. Mommy, you are too unreliable!)

Shen Ruojing brought Chu Tianye back to the Chu Manor. After that, she fetched Chu Yu and rode her motorbike back home.

Since Shen Qianhui went to work, no one cooked dinner. Hence, Shen Ruojing personally cooked a simple bowl of chicken noodle soup for Chu Yu. “We should always eat less during dinner. It is enough as long as we are 70% full. It would be beneficial for our bodies.”

“Okay, mommy.”

Chu Yu stared at the bowl of noodles and sneakily took a pic of it when Shen Ruojing wasn’t paying attention. He then posted to his WeChat moments: [This is the taste of mommy.]

After he finished eating, he immediately checked his moments to see if there were any comments.

Chu Xiaomeng posted a thumbs-up.

Chu Tianye: [Mommy personally cooked? Her noodle soup is the best, I also want to eat them!]

After seeing this message, Chu Yu’s lips curled into a smile as he replied, [I finished them. Mommy is going to tutor me now.]

Chu Tianye: [Why has mommy never tutored me?]

Chu Yu rolled his eyes.

The first day he came to the Shen Family, he saw Chu Tianye and Chu Xiaomeng’s learning tempo. The two of them were not any worse off than him, so how could their mommy understand such deep and profound questions?

He replied, [Maybe it’s because I’m too stupid.]

Just after he sent the message, Shen Ruojing finished doing the dishes and walked out of the kitchen. She was currently holding her phone and just so nicely scrolled to Chu Yu’s moments.

Shen Ruojing started and felt her heart growing soft. “Little Yu, do you need me to tutor you?”

Chu Yu’s eyes brightened and nodded. “Okay!”

He could spend time alone with his mommy for another hour!

After explaining the concepts of addition and subtraction for an entire hour, Shen Ruojing suppressed her grumpiness and went down just in time to see Shen Qianhui and Jing Zhen returning.

Shen Ruojing wore her shoes and held Chu Yu’s hands, preparing to bring him out for a look. However, she heard Jing Zhen grumbling at this moment. “That Yun Zhengze must have a premeditated plot. If not, how is it possible that the moment you took over the company, Jin Chi`en dissolved his contract immediately to join Yun Zhengze’s newly set-up company? Bro Li is too bad. He could simply leave alone if he wanted to quit, but he actually brought a bunch of capable talents along with him! In fact, he even contacted a few first-tier artists and told them to dissolve their contracts too! Luckily, the words you said today caused the artists to feel respect, so they chose to observe first. Some are hesitating…but if they really left, wouldn’t Royal Ocean become an empty shell of a company?”

Shen Qianhui sighed. “It seems that the third house and main house of the Yun Family are using us to compete.

“Yun Zhengyang is sick, so the third house would definitely not be convinced if he handed over all his businesses to his young children. However, they also didn’t dare to directly challenge the main house’s prestige, so they chose to do this.”

Jing Zhen scratched his head and felt that this matter was somewhat complicated.

Shen Qianhui looked at him. “We won’t participate in the Yun Family’s dispute, but we will not allow anyone to bully us either. So, we only need to do what we have to do now. With the exception of Jin Chi`en, we have to think of solutions to retain those famous artists.”

Jing Zhen nodded. “Hmm…the others are easy to negotiate with. We can promise them some endorsement deals and accept a few acting shows for them. They will surely stay, but it isn’t going to be so easy to handle Yang Zhiqin.”

Shen Qianhui knew who this person was.

Today in the company, she had seen the artists who had signed a deal with the company.

Yang Zhiqin’s status in the entertainment industry was equivalent to Jin Chi`en. One could say that if Jin Chi`en was the number one guy in Royal Ocean, Yang Zhiqin would be the number one girl.

Jin Chi`en’s situation was a dead-end. Even if he didn’t leave, the company wouldn’t want him either.

But they had to think of a way to retain Yang Zhiqin.

If she also left, Royal Ocean Entertainment would only exist merely in name.

Shen Qianhui asked, “What about her?”

Jing Zhen sighed. “Yang Zhiqin is an authentic and wonderful singer, however, it has been two years since she last had a song. She has been trying to find good songs, but none of the lyricists and music composers in the industry could write something she was satisfied with. Today, Yang Zhiqin contacted me, saying that Li Zuo managed to come to an agreement with Yun Zhongjun. As long as Yang Zhiqin was willing to jump over to their company, he would get Yun Zhongjun to tailor-make a song for her!”

Shen Qianhui didn’t understand, so Jing Zhen explained further. “Yun Zhongjun is the stage name of a composer in the industry. Currently, he ranks second in the industry, and all the songs he wrote are extremely popular. Even people on the streets and in alleyways would be singing them. However, Yun Zhongjun would only write a few songs each year, and they are very hard to grab. Because of this, Yang Zhiqin is already wavering.”

Shen Qianhui frowned. “Who is ranked first?”

Jing Zhen answered, “The person ranked first is Anonymous. The quality of each of their songs has crushed everyone. They would use a symphony for each composition, and even the prelude to each song could become a classic. The lyrics are like a poem as well…Yun Zhongjun himself once said this…He might be ranked second, but the distance between him and Anonymous is simply too far apart.”

Shen Qianhui said, “Find this person. Even if we have to spend a lot, we have to retain Yang Zhiqin.”

Jing Zhen spread his hands wide. “This person has disappeared since five years ago. No one managed to contact them within these few years, so I have no idea where to look.”

Shen Ruojing who was preparing to head out. “??”

Shen Qianhui didn’t understand matters in the entertainment industry, so she was panicking. “What should we do then?”

“We can only spread our net everywhere. There are composers out there who would occasionally write good songs on Yun Zhongjun’s level due to a moment of inspiration…”

At this moment, Shen Ruojing hesitated. After that, she went back up into her room and came out with a piece of paper a while later. She then stuffed the paper into Shen Qianhui’s hands.

Shen Qianhui asked in bewilderment, “Jingjing, what is this?”

She opened the paper and was shocked when she saw the content within.
