Li Hanchen put down the glass in his hand and stood up. “Open your mouth.”

Mu Sheng opened her mouth. Li Hanchen scrutinized it carefully and found a piece of very fine fishbone stuck in her throat.

“Don’t move. Let me help you get it out.”

Li Hanchen held Mu Sheng’s chin with his left hand as he held a pair of slim chopsticks with his right hand to carefully locate the fishbone.

Mu Sheng raised her head. Since Li Hanchen was checking Mu Sheng’s throat, he was so close that she was able to see all the hair on his brows.

He was particularly focused, so his brows were frowning slightly as he worked gently with a serious look on his face. Mu Sheng automatically swallowed her saliva. Li Hanchen had almost gotten the fishbone out, but it went back in when Mu Sheng swallowed saliva, so she winced and frowned.

“Don’t move.” Li Hanchen glanced at Mu Sheng sternly. “Aren’t you a doctor? Don’t you know how serious this is? Stop moving already.”

Despite Li Hanchen’s angry tone, Mu Sheng did not get upset. Instead, she could keenly sense Li Hanchen’s concern.

Li Hanchen’s tactics worked, and Mu Sheng stopped moving as he worked at getting the fishbone out.

After Li Hanchen pulled out the fishbone, he seemed angry. The fishbone was particularly long and fine. This time, she was lucky it got stuck in a highly visible location. If it had gone any deeper, the consequences were unimaginable.

Mu Sheng glanced at Li Hanchen. Despite the slight pain in her throat, she wanted to eat fish. “I want more fish.”

Li Hanchen glanced at her before sitting back down to carefully debone the fish and placing them in her bowl.

Mu Sheng looked satisfied as she took a bite of soft plump fish and forgot about the little accident with the fishbone earlier.

A helpless look emerged in Li Hanchen’s eyes. He could tell that Mu Sheng was like a child when it came to taking care of herself.

“It is very hard to get all the bones out.”

“Uh huh.” Mu Sheng nodded as she chewed the food, making her right cheek slightly puffed.

Li Hanchen pointed at the fishbone on the table. “If you ever want to eat fish, do it at home; I will help you debone it.”

“Okay.” Mu Sheng nodded.

A thought crossed Li Hanchen’s mind when Mu Sheng agreed to everything he said so easily. “People say that only one person in your life can get all the fishbone out. If someone else does it, it won’t be clean.”

Mu Sheng looked puzzled. She found this strange, but Li Hanchen did not seem like he was joking at all.

Li Hanchen lowered his head to conceal the deviousness in his eyes when he detected Mu Sheng’s suspicions. “Nothing went wrong when you ate the fish I deboned earlier, right? The accident only happened when you did it yourself.”

Mu Sheng stopped chewing. This made sense.

Li Hanchen suppressed the smile on his face. “From now on, I am the only person who can help debone your fish.”

Mu Sheng nodded. Li Hanchen placed more fish into her bowl. “All done. Have more.”

After dinner, Mu Sheng headed back to her room to do a live telecast.

Ever since the event last night, people came to know that Mu Sheng was God Mu.

Since Mu Sheng had to promote some Lay’s potato chips, she turned on the camera right away.

The viewers were busy talking about the event last night when a stunning face suddenly appeared on the channel.

Since she was at home, Mu Sheng was dressed simply in a white knitted sweater with some of her collar bone showing. Even though she was not wearing any makeup, her complexion glowed. The cool look in her eyes made her as beautiful as plum blossoms growing from the cliff in winter. She was a mind-blowing and untouchable beauty.

[OMIGOD! She’s gorgeous! Honey, over here!]

[Oh god. Why is my hubby so good-looking? She looks so cool! Why didn’t I previously realize how beautiful she was even though she was already working in the entertainment industry?]

[Did she really not use some beauty filter? I have a feeling she got some work done on her face. How could anyone have such perfect proportions? I am sure she went for cosmetic surgery.]

[Do you have a problem? If you don’t want to use your eyes, feel free to donate them to someone who needs them.]

“Good evening.” The moment Mu Sheng’s cool voice came over the speakers, everyone thought about her singing last night.

A lot of viewers requested Mu Sheng to sing. Some of the viewers even sent her a lot of gifts.

Typically, live telecasters often acceded to the viewers’ requests so as to help improve their popularity, so everyone shouted for her to sing.

Mu Sheng glanced at their comments and said, “Nope.”

She did it because she was working for Cat Live at an official event. Since she was not doing any official activity, she felt it was unnecessary for her to sing.

Mu Sheng turned on the game after finishing her sentence. Even though the viewers kept asking her why not, it was useless. She was always very focused while she was gaming and failed to notice the question marks floating across the screen.

Even though the viewers kept threatening to leave if she refused to sing, everyone yelled “Awesome!” the moment Mu Sheng executed her flawless maneuvers in-game!

Li Ming sat in front of his computer at home as he watched Mu Sheng nimbly finish off an entire team of enemies on her live telecast. Her profile looked cool and untouchable.

Li Ming was awestruck by her beauty.

Ever since Mu Sheng woke up at the hospital, she seemed like a completely different woman. Despite her new personality, she had become a lot more intriguing.

A light swept across Li Ming’s eyes as he looked at Mu Sheng’s lofty confident aura.

Li Ming’s phone rang. The moment he saw the caller ID, he hesitated before answering it, “Hi, Xiaoxiao. Why aren’t you sleeping yet? It’s getting late.”

Mu Xiao said quizzically, “Ming, it is only slightly past 9:00 pm. I usually sleep at 10:30 pm.”

Li Ming finally paid more attention to the conversation. “I meant it is very cold tonight, so you should sleep early. If you get a cold from staying up late, I will be heartbroken.”

Li Ming watched Mu Sheng move flawlessly on the screen as she successfully sniped a moving target a thousand clicks away from her and could not help exclaiming, “Awesome!”

“Ming? What are you talking about?”

Li Ming snapped out of his daze and said, “Nothing. Have an early night. Aren’t we going to the hospital tomorrow? You need some good rest.”

Mu Xiao was completely unsuspecting. “Okay. Good night, Ming.”

“Uh huh. Good night.” After hanging up the phone, Li Ming continued watching Mu Sheng game for a while longer before calling Tiger Shark’s manager. “You have three days to make Mu Sheng join us.”

“Yes, Mr. Li.”

After playing a few more rounds of the game, Mu Sheng started to feel hungry, so she stood up. “I am going to get a snack.”

[Wow! Does a beauty like her eat snacks at night? I have finally found something in common with her. That makes me a beauty too!]

[Excuse me! When gorgeous women say they want a snack at night, all they eat is a single cucumber. You are talking about yellow braised chicken, river snail rice noodles, and a cup of bubble tea to top it off when you say you need supper.]

[Humph! You got it wrong. I need to add an egg and sausage to my river snail rice noodles. How could you look down on me?]

The viewers kept chatting nonstop as they waited for Mu Sheng to come back. Before long, they heard some noise.

Mu Sheng opened the door and came back with a carton that measured up to her waist.

She placed the box on the ground and went out again.

No one knew what she was trying to do, so they could only wait quietly. In roughly three minutes, she came back with a huge glass filled with a dark-colored fluid.

They finally realized it was coca-cola when they saw the bubbles and ice inside the glass.

Mu Sheng got back in her seat before she reached her hand out to pull out a yellow bag of half-eaten potato chips from earlier in the afternoon.

Mu Sheng took a piece of potato chip and ate it.

Since Mu Sheng’s microphone was high quality, people could hear the crisp sound of the chips clearly. It really triggered the audience’s appetite just listening to her.

Mu Sheng proceeded to briefly describe how the potato chips tasted just like how the company requested.

“These chips are original flavored. It’s salted and tastes pretty good.”

After eating a few pieces of chips, Mu Sheng opened a green bag of cucumber-flavored potato chips and took to a bite before frowning. “Average.”

Next, Mu Sheng opened a bag of lemon-flavored potato chips and looked satisfied after trying some. “This tastes refreshing and I approve.”

…….

Mu Sheng opened a bag of wasabi-flavored chips. After taking a small bite, Mu Sheng stopped eating. Although she did not say a word, it was clear she did not fancy it from the look in her eyes.

Mu Sheng looked like a lazy cat when she was eating and she took small bites until her face swelled slightly. She looked absolutely adorable. Also, it helped that she was gorgeous. Hence, it whetted the viewers’ appetite watching her eat.

Mu Sheng provided everyone with a link for Lay’s potato chips. “There is a sale today. If you are interested, please click on the link and buy some.”

[Was she doing some promotion for the chips? She simply suddenly ate chips without making herself clear. I have a feeling she was simply using the opportunity to have a snack.]

[I really want to try those wasabi flavored potato chips. Haha! I wonder how bad it tastes.]

[Don’t you think Mu Sheng looks very authentic when she is eating? Haha! She really ate a lot of potato chips and sampled every single flavor and even came armed with a bubbly soda. From the looks of it, she really enjoys food!]

Mu Sheng checked the time after promoting the potato chips and realized it was already 11:00 pm. “That’s all for today. See you tomorrow.”

The moment she finished her sentence, Mu Sheng ended the live telecast.

Her viewers were now very accustomed to Mu Sheng signing off punctually. Everyone knew she was even more punctual than a clock. The moment it was 11:00 pm, she would leave without fail.

Lay’s marketing department regretted their decision to hire Mu Sheng to promote their products when they saw her live telecast.

Other live telecasters would have said a lot of nice things about the products and described them in great detail.

However, Mu Sheng simply said a few brief words. Also, Mu Sheng was only satisfied with two flavors after trying dozens of flavors. She had clearly disapproved of all the other flavors.

“I told you not to hire a small-time actress like her. She was unprofessional and didn’t do her job. Why didn’t you keep an eye on her? Now that she has messed up, are you going to be the one explaining yourself to the boss?” The manager was beside himself with fury. He was dead meat now and his boss was bound to scold him first thing in the morning.

Fortunately, they had only struck a one-off promotion deal with Mu Sheng and did not sign a long-term contract with her. Although he was bound to get scolded by his boss badly, the damage was manageable.

The manager waved his hand sadly. “Enough. You may leave. I am going home to get some rest as well and prepare myself mentally for the scolding tomorrow.”

The moment he finished his sentence, he sighed in his heart as he packed his stuff. Company sales had been doing badly to begin with, and Mu Sheng’s promotion had failed. His job was certainly getting tougher by the day.

Since most of the people had left the company by now, no one was around to see the statistics on the computer blinking and surging wildly.

The manager entered his superior’s office dejectedly first thing in the morning. “Sir, I am here to apologize about…”

Just as he was about to say he was talking about Mu Sheng’s failed promotion last night, his superior patted him on the shoulder and said, “Well done! I will give you a raise and increase your bonus. You did a fantastic job with the online promotion. I didn’t realize you had been following the gaming industry so closely. You are really on top of the trends. Everyone in the company really has to take a leaf from you.”

The manager raised his head and saw his superior beaming brightly and felt lost. “Aren’t you going to punish me?”

His superior opened his eyes wide. “You have given us such a huge sales volume. Why should I punish you? Didn’t you see the sales we received last night? It was all thanks to you!”

The manager took a look at the invoice and noticed that the Lay’s online store received over a hundred thousand orders last night.

“Erm…” Even though his superior had never seen Mu Sheng’s live telecast, he had certainly watched it last night. He could not wrap his mind around how Mu Sheng’s brief promotion could cause such a surge in the sales numbers.

The manager was oblivious that the market was flooded with so many exquisitely packaged products that the consumers were completely desensitized by beautiful advertisements and persuasive copywriting generated by professional marketing teams.

Mu Sheng’s authenticity had inadvertently struck a chord with the consumers. A lot of customers even purchased the flavors that Mu Sheng did not like simply out of curiosity about how they tasted.

“Well done!” The superior was delighted. “Contact Mu Sheng and tell her we want her to market our products long term.”

“Of course. I will get to it right away.” The manager was delighted that he did not have to get reprimanded and punished. Instead, he got promoted. Hence, he went about settling the matter happily.

There was a light drizzle the next day and the weather was cold.

The stone lions flanking the Mu residence entrance were wet from the rain.

A black car drove over from a distance, but the door did not automatically open when it arrived.

“Young Mistress Sheng and Mr. Li, the garden path is under maintenance, so no cars can enter. Please get out of the car and walk in on foot,” said a middle-aged butler dressed in uniform to Mu Sheng as he stood beside the car.

Despite wording himself politely, the butler stood with his back straight as he looked down at them sideways and glanced at Li Hanchen with a clear look of contempt on his face. “Mr. Li, since the quality of your tires is average, I am worried they will ruin the newly laid marble tiles.”

Mu Sheng did not mind walking in, but her eyes instantly turned cold when she caught the butler ridiculing Li Hanchen. “Do you want us to walk in?”
