Chapter 136 - Worth it.

This chapter is sponsored by Alice! Thank you so much for your Ko-Fis!!!
The voice sounded familiar, and it was a little, just a little, really, it was just a little similar to You Liangxing, who he’d been rooming with for the past few years ever since they met in Year One. And when he lifted his head to look, there was no mistaking it, it really came from the executive office of the new and rising YouLiang TV company.
Without waiting for Kang Shengzhe to go in first, Liao Su rushed inside with large strides. The first look was consequential, the ‘CEO Xiao You’ who just stood up to greet them was not only similar in voice, he looked very much like him too!
… For farts!
It was not just the matter of looking identical!
It was basically the same person ah!!
Liao Su was absolutely bewildered. Agitated, he shouted: “You Liangxing!!”
Baffled, You Liangxing shot a look at him and said: “Stop shouting, what’s the matter with you?”
Liao Su: “I……!”
The shock came from discovering that You Liangxing had actually hid such a development from him. Suddenly, Liao Su experienced the feelings Liang Chulin felt when Kang Shengzhe had purposefully concealed his identity as an anchor from him. Initially, he was filled with shocked and effrontery, but now that he was being questioned by You Liangxing with a calm visage, his own expression stiffened and the momentum he had just ignited made a sharp decline.
He prevaricated for a short while before stammering out, “You, you’re the CEO of YouLiang TV!???”
You Liangxing said: “Yes.”
His reply was equally calm. Liao Su began to realise that there was nowhere he could unleash his temper. “Why didn’t you tell me!”
“You never asked,” You Liangxing pointed out.
Liao Su: “……”
Liao Su was speechless in the moment. The anger lodged in his heart felt suspended as it was only circulating in his atrium of his heart. Additionally, it did not help matters that the Physical Education student had never been good with his words especially in his moments of speechlessness; and his only recourse was to turn his head around and walk out of the office directly.
He had only taken two steps out when Kang Shengzhe pulled him to a standstill from behind and dragged him back into the room.
With so many people around, it was not convenient for You Liangxing to speak to Liao Su alone first. Thus, he spoke to everyone as a whole: “Sit.” Then, he ordered the employee who was in the room as well. “Bring the contract over.”
His employee nodded and went out, leaving the four and Wang Lu alone. Having received a shock, Liang Chulin could not speak either and it took him a long time before he managed to say: “Brother Liang Liang…. you…” are amazing.
Similarly, Wang Lu was both shocked and floored. Not only was the ‘Sister Liang’ that Kang Shengzhe was dating a handsome man with a girlish voice, he was the CEO of YouLiang TV t0o???
There was actually such a thing!!
It made sense in hindsight as to why Kang Shengzhe was resolute and decisive about switching to YouLiang TV, in terms of their relationship, they were husband and wife…
While the others had an abundance of colourful thoughts, Kang Shengzhe only had two words flooding his heart: “Liang Liang Liang Liang Liang Liang Liang Liang……”
After not seeing him for a month, he missed Liang Liang to the point where he could not sleep soundly!
Kang Shengzhe’s eyes were dead fixed on You Liangxing’s person but You Liangxing only gave him a glance before he retracted it, causing Kang Shengzhe to pout, “Ying ying ying.”
You Liangxing: “……”
It was not that You Liangxing did not miss him; in fact, he definitely did not miss Kang Shengzhe any less but there were other people present right now. Thus, he did not intend on having Kang Shengzhe stick to him, let alone delay the work they had before them. Furthermore… there was also an angry pufferfish Liao Su to deal with, and he could not ignore him even if he tried.
Good friends naturally came first. Usually, it was Liang Chulin who was fuming with anger day in and out, and this was the first time You Liangxing had witnessed the unabatingly optimistic Liao Su being this angry.
His brows knitted and he said: “I didn’t think you would be this angry, I didn’t hide it from you on purpose.”
Liao Su: “……” Hmpf!
Seeing that Liao Su’s complexion did not turn for the better, You Liangxing felt worse. He said again: “I’m sorry.”
You Liangxing had always been meticulous and methodological when it came to doing things, and the fact that his apology was sincere and without flaw reduced the anger that Liao Su had by half. But when they got to the bottom of the matter, failing to tell a long-standing friend about such a huge matter was not something his heart could get over easily.
“There’s no use in saying that…… no matter what, I’m still angry, I’m outraged!”
You Liangxing felt deeply apologetic, “I’m sorry….”
“I don’t want to listen to your apologies, I refuse to accept your apologies, I… I… I’m just infuriated!”
Liao Su was not easy to anger but once his temper flared, it was extraordinarily hard to appease. You Liangxing wanted to speak again but Liao Su already shouted: “Let’s break off our relations!! What’s the point of being brothers!”
This was getting a little unreasonable. At the side, Liang Chulin called out softly, “Brother Liao…”
Kang Shengzhe also said: “Don’t be angry, Liang Liang is in the wrong for this, yes, but Liang Liang didn’t do it on purpose. Please give him a chance to compensate you.”
Hearing that, Liao Su became angrier: “So what if he has the money? Do I look like a person who cares about money?”
Kang Shengzhe said: “Of course not, I didn’t say he was going to compensate you with money. Don’t you like Bai Yao? Liang Liang can introduce her to you over a meal or something.”
Liao Su: “……”
Coughing lightly, Liao Su raised his head to look at You Liangxing: “…… For real?”
You Liangxing nodded his head automatically. “Of course, but you are warned that she doesn’t have the best personality.”
On the surface, he was still putting up a pretence but he was going ‘mmp‘ inside. It was without a doubt that Liao Su wanted to meet Bai Yao and concurrently, he did not plan on holding a grudge against You Liangxing. All he wanted to do was give him a predicament before stopping, but he did not expect that the stage he built for himself would be so high. However, judging from You Liangxing’s response, it seemed like it was quite a simple thing to accomplish?
Hence, he became a little confused but he did not allow himself to show it. Liao Su continued to pull a long face and said coldly, “Fine then…. But if you’re hiding anything else from me, I’ll…”
Before he could finish speaking, You Liangxing’s face changed.
And as expected, Liao Su did not miss it because his voice immediately went up in volume: “Fuck me, this can’t be, right? You’re still hiding more things from me!!”
You Liangxing: “……”
“I didn’t hide it, it’s just that no one asked, and I never intended to divulge it to begin with. And besides, it’s not that important…”
If Liao Su believed him, there would be ghosts. Furious, he said: “Spit it out!”
You Liangxing: “……”
Left with no choice, You Liangxing confessed: “Bai Yao is my older sister, we come from the same father and mother, our mother is Bai Yan, our father is You Ming.”
Liao Su: “…….”
Liao Su: “Is this a joke?”
You Liangxing: “No.”
Liao Su: “……”
Liang Chulin: “……”
Wang Lu: “……”
Kang Shengzhe: “Hahahaha.”
Apart from Kang Shengzhe who could laugh, the rest had become dumbstruck. Thankfully, the employee came in with the contract which reduced the amount of awkwardness in the atmosphere.
The air was quiet. Liao Su was expressionless, not saying anything in utterance. You Liangxing genuinely felt apologetic so he opened his mouth to say: “Liao Su, I didn’t do this deliberately. Not telling you is my fault, I’ve never considered these problems before. If it really makes you unhappy, I’ll apologise to you again.”
You Liangxing was not done speaking when Liao Su parted his lips and cut him off, “You Liangxing, truthfully, it’s better if we don’t be brothers anymore.”
You Liangxing: “Liao Su… I’m really sorry…”
Suddenly, tears flowed down Liao Su’s face, causing him to cover it as he said: “You should be my Daddy instead!! Daddy!!”
You Liangxing: “……”
The atmosphere went through an abrupt change and Liang Chulin forced himself to recover from his astonishment. He consoled Liao Su, “Brother Liao, what are you crying for?”
Liao Su: “How would kids like you understand this, these are the tears a son sheds after reuniting with his father!”
Liang Chulin: “……”
You Liangxing: “……”
You Liangxing was rendered speechless. After faltering for a long time and ascertaining that Liao Su was no longer angry, he turned his head and gave the contract to Wang Lu. “For you.”
Wang Lu extended both hands and received it reverently and respectfully. If he observed himself carefully, he would notice that both his hands were shaking.
It was too surprising…
Initially, he presumed that this CEO You was wealthy and with some background, but he never expected that his background was a hundred times deeper than what he had imagined! Bai Yan! You Ming! Which of these characters were incapable of wanting his life with a mere little finger!!
Meanwhile, You Liangxing remained unaware of his numerous thoughts as he said simply: “I’ve already discussed the contents with Kang Shengzhe, but as his agent, you ought to have a look too. If there are no problems, we’ll go through with the signing now.”
Truthfully speaking, Kang Shengzhe himself had already given his consent, and whether Wang Lu looked over it or not would not change the final conclusion. However, the fact that You Liangxing specifically asked for his opinion sufficiently proved how important Kang Shengzhe viewed him to be. Feeling touched, Wang Lu started to skim through the contents with due diligence right away.
Everything was fine but his entire body still froze. After re-reading it several times, he finally managed to absorb the minimum sum that Kang Shengzhe was guaranteed.
… Twenty million.
He did not count incorrectly, it was not two million but twenty million!! It was four times of MengMao’s assumed price ceiling!!
Even popular celebrities in the entertainment circles might not have such a high salary!!!
“This… This…”
Wang Lu stated at Kang Shengzhe in disbelief, to which Kang Shengzhe laughed. “Could it be that I’m not worth it?”
Wang Lu stiffened, only to resolutely say: “Worth it!”
Hearing that, Kang Shengzhe grinned. However, a new worry immediately emerged in Wang Lu’s heart: with such a terrifying figure, it certainly demonstrated the feelings that CEO You had and how highly he thought of Kang Shengzhe, but it also meant that the foundations of Kang Shengzhe’s contract was not merely built on his strength because their romantic relationship was mixed into it.
If there came a day where CEO You became tired of KK, and they were to break up…
Wang Lu’s brows twisted together as he asked Kang Shengzhe, “KK, are you certain?”
Kang Shengzhe smiled and said: “What do you think~”
His answer could not be clearer at a glance. Wang Lu placed down the contract and said: “I don’t have any objections, this contract is beyond perfect.”
You Liangxing extended his hand and said: “Happy cooperation.”
Gingerly, Wang Lu stretched his hand as he repeated: “Happy cooperation.”
“Right, CEO You, can I ask you a question?”
You Liangxing said: “Speak.”
Solemnly, Wang Lu asked, “Prior to this, there was a rumour going around MengMao TV that YouLiang TV tried to dig out Piaoluo and Howling Wolf, were you the one who released the fake news?”
You Liangxing replied, “That’s not fake news.”
Wang Lu was startled, “What?”
You Liangxing explained, “The fact that I instructed people to dig out Piaoluo and Howling Wolf is not a lie. I offered a high price and they were willing to come over. However, when the contract was about to be settled, I released the news and ensured that it was leaked to the higher executives of MengMao. And later, as they were arguing, I cut down Kang Shengzhe’s contract.”
It goes without saying that he helped Kang Shengzhe pay for the two million penalty as well. But You Liangxing did not mention that and simply said: “MengMao should be having a bad time right now. And considering how their desire to jump the manger has been brought out into light, Piaoluo and Howling Wolf won’t have a good time in the future either. Dogs biting dogs, seems right.”
As he was saying that, You Liangxing suddenly paused and asked: “What are you looking at me like that for.”
Liao Su said eagerly: “Daddy, you’re so handsome.”
Liang Chulin chimed in: “Brother Liang Liang, you’re really very handsome.”
“CEO You is impressive,” said Wang Lu.
Because their expressions were too sincere, You Liangxing could not help but feel a little embarrassed in his silence. He turned his gaze away, only to chance upon Kang Shengzhe’s bright and glittering eyes. Then, the taller man bit his lips lightly, looked at him and winked~
That gave You Liangxing a start, and he felt like disgust had just been directed at him.
It was obviously supposed to be disgust, but he only found uninterrupted tender regards in the eyes of others. Liao Su, Liang Chulin and Wang Lu looked at each other before they quietly slipped out of the office. You Liangxing wanted to stop them but Kang Shengzhe buckled him against the sofa like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey before he kissed him like he was trying to blot out his sky and cover his earth.
His desperate gesture came too suddenly and You Liangxing did not manage to ward it off in time. He shouted: “Kang Shengzhe! Behave yourself! Kang Shengzhe!”
His voice was delicate and pretty. From the viewpoint of the people outside, it sounded like an ordinary woman was being robbed forcefully.
The ordinary woman being robbed was then kissed to the point of gasping, and it was after a long time that he pushed away Kang Shengzhe’s big head to scold him. “You’re insane.”
Kang Shengzhe said, “I’m not insane, someone just likes you~”
You Liangxing: “… Don’t say someone.”
Kang Shengzhe smiled widely, not refuting him. Instead, he stared at him with limpid eyes before asking: “Liang Liang, aren’t you treating me too well?”
There were a lot of meanings— it could either be pointing at all the existing plans that You Liangxing had, or the twenty million contract which was beyond the bounds of Kang Shengzhe’s calculations.
The only thing You Liangxing did was take the words that Kang Shengzhe said just now and return it back to him. He stated: “Do you think that you’re not worth it?”
“I’m worth it, I’ll definitely work hard in the future as your money-shaking tree, I’ll shake during daytime and shake even more during the night,” Kang Shengzhe said.
You Liangxing: “You’re really…”
The rest of his words were swallowed by a deep kiss, disappearing between their lips. After not meeting for a month, their kisses were bound to be at an intensity of lightning strike, so thunderous it set the earth on fire. Kang Shengzhe hugged You Liangxing, pressing his body against him as his movements became increasingly rich.
You Liangxing panted, “Don’t even think about it, this is an office.”
Kang Shengzhe said: “It’s precisely because it’s a office, it’s the most stimulating in an office~”
You Liangxing said: “Shut up!”
He might not understand others but he knew that Liao Su was definitely at the door eavesdropping. If that sort of thing were to happen here, You Liangxing feared that he would be laughed at for the rest of his life.
Kang Shengzhe implored him, “I can be softer~”
You Liangxing: “The one making noises isn’t you.”
Kang Shengzhe’s eyes twinkled. “Then you can be softer?”
You Liangxing: “……”
Kang Shengzhe: “If you don’t speak, I’m taking it as consent.”
You Liangxing: “……”
Giggling, Kang Shengzhe pulled at the pants of You Liangxing’s suit. Just as he was about to take the next step, You Liangxing’s hand abruptly swung and he raised his fist up high.
Kang Shengzhe: “… Liang Liang, violence does not resolve problems.”
You Liangxing replied, “Violence can’t solve problems, but it can solve you.”
Kang Shengzhe: “……”
The two-metre-tall man started to cry in a series of yings.
After a while, Kang Shengzhe recomposed himself to say: “Right, why don’t you pull Jian Jian over while MengMao is currently in a mess?”
“Little Sword Fairy?” Now that this person was mentioned, You Liangxing recalled that he did have the intention to recruit him. Previously, he had sent someone to ask him but the answer had been unsatisfactory. “You can bring him over?”
Kang Shengzhe: “Of course~ Who am I, I’m Liang Liang’s money shaking tree, naturally it means that I have to move a little fiercer!”
You Liangxing pretended he neither heard Kang Shengzhe’s obscene joke nor saw the perverse expression on his face. Calmly, he stated, “If he’s willing to come over, I’ll offer him a contract that satisfies him.”
Kang Shengzhe said: “As satisfied as I am?”
You Liangxing said: “No, at my company, you will forever be the sole exception.”
You Liangxing was truly You Liangxing; moving others with every word, always attractive and making it hard to hold back. Kang Shengzhe mused about it deeply before he leaned closer to You Liangxing to nibble his ear.
“Liang Liang, I like you.”
You Liangxing said: “En.”
“I really like you so much oh~”
You Liangxing said: “En.”
“You’re very handsome.”
You Liangxing said: “En.”
Kang Shengzhe took a deep breath. “I love you.”
You Liangxing looked into Kang Shengzhe’s eyes and saw the starlight dwelling in it. Then, he said: “I love you too.”
A smile blossomed on Kang Shengzhe’s visage. All of a sudden, his entire body stiffened and he said in surprise, “…. Mother, is my part about to be over?”
You Liangxing: “……”
Kang Shengzhe: “Yamete! I still want a double kill, triple kill, quadra kill and penta kill!”
You Liangxing sent a punch flying to the bridge of his nose, causing Kang Shengzhe to drop off the sofa abruptly.
Outside the door, Liao Su was busy covering Liang Chulin’s ears as he pressed himself close to the door with a red face. He said: “Wah~ Daddy is so powerful oh!! Does he need to use so much strength!!”
Liang Chulin: “……”
Could you be more thorough about your ear covering?
I can still hear them ah!!
Excessive QAQ!
