You were supposed to have a fake marriage with the diva, so how did you become her father?

Chapter 25 Nostalgia - Incognito Browsing Mode

Inside Legendary Entertainment, when the senior executives saw Xu Manlin's challenge online, they were not worried about Shen Yuege at all; on the contrary, they were happy to see it happen.

Vice President Hu Zhengming stared at the computer screen and sneered, "This Xu Manlin really knows how to pick her chances. Perfect, let's use this challenge to show Shen Yuege that without the company's resources, she's nothing!"

He directly instructed his subordinates, "For Shen Yuege's next album, the company should not provide any resources. This time, she needs to be given a setback so she understands the company's importance and will obediently sign the contract. This is the best choice for both her and the company. Hopefully, she'll be sensible then!"

...

When Shen Yuege woke up, she felt much more relaxed. She was gradually developing a sense of belonging to this family.

After washing up and going outside, I happened to see Lu Ran preparing breakfast.

"Awake?" Seeing Shen Yuege leave, Lu Ran greeted her, "Just made it, eat it while it's hot."

Lu Ran bought breakfast from a breakfast stall outside the residential area today.

Tofu pudding with fried dough sticks, and by the way, the tofu pudding is savory.

Actually, Shen Yuege didn't eat this kind of ordinary breakfast often before, and she had even developed the habit of not eating breakfast.

However, for some reason, she always had a great appetite whenever Lu Ran prepared breakfast.

Just as the two were about to have their meal, Shen Yuege took out her phone and found that there were more than a dozen missed calls from Chen Jing.

Shen Yuege immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly dialed back. The phone was answered after two rings, and Chen Jing's anxious voice came from the other end.

"Yuege, something bad has happened! Xu Manlin has declared war on you. This time, it seems she's determined to win. You'd better go online and check it out."

"I've spoken with the company's senior management, but they said they won't provide any assistance this time unless a contract is signed."

Shen Yuege quickly opened Weibo, and at the top of the list was Xu Manlin's declaration of war, with tens of thousands of comments below, and the topic was already very popular.

"Sister Jing, is the company going to abandon me?" Shen Yuege's voice was tinged with anger. "Even if we don't sign a new contract, I still have more than half a year left. Are they just going to abandon me like this?"

"Yuege, that's indeed what the company's higher-ups mean. But don't worry, I'll use my connections to try and get you some songs, though the chances might be slim."

"You could also ask Mingri to write another song; maybe he has some good songs to work with."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yuege was extremely frustrated.

Her father's words from last night still echoed in her mind: the entertainment industry is always full of deceit and treachery.

Is it possible that my father's prediction is right this time?

Shen Yuege raised her head and looked at Lu Ran.

She had put the phone on speakerphone just now, and Lu Ran heard it all.

At this moment, Shen Yuege's eyes were fixed on Lu Ran.

Lu Ran was eating when he suddenly noticed the focused gaze across from him. He looked up and met Shen Yuege's eyes.

"Lu Ran, what do you think I should do? Should I compromise and sign a contract with the company, or refuse to fight back and play the ostrich?" Shen Yuege stared at Lu Ran, wanting to know what Lu Ran was thinking at this moment. At the same time, her suspicions about Lu Ran as the future had not diminished in the slightest.

"Oh? You're asking me?" Lu Ran was somewhat surprised that Shen Yuege had asked for his opinion first.

"Yes, my dad said yesterday that he would discuss things with you more often," Shen Yuege said earnestly.

"Hey, you mean this? Doesn't that mean Uncle thought we were a couple?" Lu Ran pretended to suddenly realize something, then added seriously, "But regarding your two opinions, my suggestion is to choose neither. I choose to stand up to you head-on."

Lu Ran explained, "Let's not even talk about whether the company will go all out to help you after you sign with them. Even if the company does its best, judging from the current situation, Xu Manlin is definitely more confident."

"Secondly, refusing to respond is even worse. You're riding high right now, and your last album just made a comeback. If you don't respond at this moment, the fans who have worked so hard to get here will turn around and leave."

"Therefore, the most urgent task is to launch a strong counterattack," Lu Ran gave as his final advice.

"But without the company's resources, it's become a problem how I'll even get songs for my new album," Shen Yuege sighed.

"As for songs, you can find them on music platforms. Wasn't that 'Tomorrow' song you found on a music platform?"

"Maybe in a few days, all sorts of 'yesterday,' 'the day after tomorrow,' and 'everyday' will be out." To avoid being too deliberate in leading the conversation, Lu Ran added, "Of course, if needed, I can also use some of my connections to collect some for you at my company."

"In short, we must be firm. Trust me, we won't lose." Lu Ran decided that this time, he would give Shen Yuege a divine album, a truly divine album.

Otherwise, any Tom, Dick, or Harry will try to take advantage of her and Harry, using her sugar daddy's mother to climb the social ladder, which will lead to endless trouble.

Seeing Lu Ran speak with such confidence, Shen Yuege's heart was also filled with confidence.

For some reason, at this moment, the faces of the 'Tomorrow' she had never met and Lu Ran overlapped before her eyes.

However, she did not rashly post a message to accept the challenge. Instead, she directly opened her laptop, logged into her Wanwan Jingting account, and found the chat box for tomorrow.

"Are you there? Do you have any copyrighted songs left? I'd like to buy a few."

The moment the message was sent, Lu Ran's phone vibrated.

"As expected!" Shen Yuege felt that her guess was correct. Lu Ran was indeed Mingri. Although their handwriting was different, it must be him.

Shen Yuege quickly grabbed Lu Ran's phone, wanting to confirm if it was true.

After clicking on it, a Google notification appeared in the browser:

"The most beautiful girl at Shanghai University looks exactly like Shen Yuege, and she has dozens of suitors!"

For some reason, Shen Yuege blushed a little. She didn't know if it was because she saw her name mentioned in GG or because she had abruptly looked at Lu Ran's phone.

She quickly returned the phone to Lu Ran, who took it.

He was indeed startled just now, mainly because it was too coincidental; his phone vibrated right after Shen Yuege sent the message.

After realizing what had happened, Lu Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

I didn't even turn on notifications, what's there to be afraid of!

"Um, lately these browsers have been randomly pushing GG to me." After seeing GG on his phone, Lu Ran felt a little embarrassed.

It's likely that he frequently searched for information about Shen Yuege on his browser, and his preferences were recorded by the browser's big data.

At this moment, Lu Ran felt a pang of nostalgia for C's incognito browsing mode.
