186 Super Shield
As early as a week ago, Wang Heng had decided to change the contract with Pei Ningle.
The main purpose of setting such harsh profit-sharing terms before was, besides money, to try to disgust Pei Ningle with a greedy face, so that she would leave him on her own after becoming famous. But now, since he had changed his strategy towards Lu Qi and Han Yixuan, his strategy towards Pei Ningle naturally needed to be adjusted slightly.
Of course, more importantly, as long as he seized those investment opportunities, the speed of wealth snowballing was obviously much faster. After experiencing the speed of getting rich with Bitcoin and the stock market, he really didn’t have much interest in snatching food from Pei Ningle’s bowl.
So facing the two girls at this moment, he explained, “Get paid for what you do. I will have a lot of other things to do starting this year, and it will definitely be inconvenient to spend too much time and energy on being a manager.”
Pei Ningle was immediately unhappy. “How did you promise me in the beginning?”
Wang Heng: “That’s why I asked Han Yixuan to help. She is more meticulous than me and better at being a manager than me. Besides, I’m not washing my hands of it completely in the future, just managing less. You used to have only one manager, me, but in the future, there will be two, who can help you handle more things. Isn’t that great?”
Han Yixuan said thoughtfully, “So, my role is not an assistant manager, but a second manager?”
Wang Heng: “Yes, we have different divisions of labor. You are responsible for her daily life and helping with creation; I am responsible for some online things, promotion and positioning.”
Pei Ningle blinked and suddenly realized a problem.
If this division of labor was followed, it meant… she would have more time with Han Yixuan in the future, and fewer opportunities to be with Wang Heng. Did this play right into Han Yixuan’s hands?
While the girl was still pondering silently, she heard Han Yixuan agree readily:
“Since you are so generous with the profit sharing, then okay, of course I won’t refuse. Just waiting for Little Le to become famous in the future, I can also benefit, right?”
Speaking of this, Han Yixuan looked at Pei Ningle, but found a trace of suspicion in her eyes.
Wang Heng said with great relief, “You two have such a good relationship, you will definitely get along very happily in the future. That’s it for today. I have some other things to do, so I’m leaving.”
With that, he finished the cappuccino in his cup in one gulp, stood up, and walked to the counter to pay the bill.
Only when paying the bill, Wang Heng noticed that the way the two waitresses stared at him seemed a bit strange…
**
Wang Heng left, leaving only an empty coffee cup.
Pei Ningle and Han Yixuan still sat in their original seats, looking at each other speechlessly.
Finally, Han Yixuan broke the silence. “I didn’t know the content of today’s contract would be like this.”
Pei Ningle: “…”
Han Yixuan: “Little Le, you have to believe me. I didn’t know he would take out such a contract.”
Pei Ningle sighed. “Besides being a shield, you blocked my way again this time. Slash by slash, all on me.”
Han Yixuan put her hands together and bowed her head in apology. “I’m sorry, Little Le, but I really didn’t expect it either!”
Pei Ningle: “Forget it, things are already like this…”
Han Yixuan: “You can refuse! Just say you don’t feel reassured letting me be the second manager, and insist on only having him. Can’t you?”
Pei Ningle shook her head. “That would be too willful, right? He said he has a lot of things to do, investment and part-time jobs. Can I still drag him and not let him go?”
Han Yixuan picked up the cold coffee, took a sip, and pondered secretly.
It seemed that because of this unexpected contract, Pei Ningle had developed considerable suspicion towards her. If this continued for a long time, it would be bad if the suspicion between the two evolved into a deeper rift.
But was there any way to dispel this suspicion?
With two managers, Wang Heng and Pei Ningle indeed had fewer opportunities to be together. This was undeniable. The facts were laid out here, and sophistry was useless.
Then, divert attention?
When problems arise in the relationship between two people, introducing an external enemy is undoubtedly a feasible way. Using the existence of an external enemy to divert attention, they could naturally put aside suspicion and cooperate sincerely.
Han Yixuan secretly made up her mind and spoke again, “When I went home for the New Year this time, I acted as a shield for that guy again.”
Pei Ningle couldn’t help but ask, “Who did you block?”
“Lu Qi,” Han Yixuan said solemnly while observing Pei Ningle’s reaction as she pronounced the name. “Those few days felt like being stared at by a cheetah, very scary. You should have met her too, right?”
Of course Pei Ningle knew Lu Qi.
The girl recalled for a moment and replied, “I know her, but… why do you think she’s like a cheetah?”
Han Yixuan didn’t know how to explain for a moment.
The sense of danger between carnivores seemed difficult for a rookie to understand?
After hesitating for a long time, Han Yixuan could only summarize, “Anyway, I just want to tell you that Lu Qi also has designs on Wang Heng.”
Pei Ningle blinked. “But she didn’t succeed either, did she?”
Han Yixuan: “Who do you think is the reason she didn’t succeed! If it weren’t for me as a shield, maybe that guy would have fallen long ago!”
Pei Ningle thought for a moment and said very certainly, “I know what you mean. You’re showing off. You are the strongest shield. Neither I nor a cheetah like Lu Qi can break through your defense, right?”
Han Yixuan held her head, feeling like she was about to collapse.
What happened to diverting conflict with an external enemy? Why is this girl’s train of thought completely different from what I expected?
Han Yixuan said helplessly, “It’s really not showing off… sigh, whatever.”
But at this moment, the suspicion in Pei Ningle’s eyes disappeared. She took Han Yixuan’s hand and said, “I understand. You are a shield. No matter who shoots the arrow, it will be blocked by you. Neither I nor Lu Qi will have a chance. And even you yourself are the same.”
Han Yixuan: “?”
Pei Ningle: “In the future, you will be my daily manager and daily assistant. Besides school, you will definitely use a lot of your free time to accompany me. You won’t have a chance to find him yourself either. So I don’t blame you. After all, you and I perish together.”
Han Yixuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Your wording…”
Pei Ningle giggled. “Anyway, please take care of me in the future, Miss Manager. I’m going to the music store later to look at electronic keyboards and guitars. You should come with me, right?”
Han Yixuan: “Of course. I’m your daily manager.”
