The bright lights shone from the ceiling of the training room, lighting up the entire room. The door was slowly pushed open, the âsqueakâ sound resonating in everyoneâs heart, causing them to feel cold.
The moment that the handsome and tall man appeared in front of the door, donât talk about Brother Yuan, AâZhao and the others. Even Zeng Shu couldnât help halting in his tracks, his eyes widening with horror.
There was once a master who evaluated Xi Zeâs fashion show: âIf you say that he is a giant, then he is a giant standing at the peak of all supermodels. If he is a king, he is the leader who guides the worldâs supermodels. When he appears on the T stage, you canât help but feel insignificant. The combination of him and the clothes lights up the world.â
In most cases, models wouldnât show their aura outside of the catwalk. For example, Cheng Su and Wu Yuzhen had handsome faces, but when you saw them, you would only think âThis person is a celebrity,â not âThis person is a model.â
However, some people were doomed to be the exceptions. It was He Chaoman among the female models, and Xi Ze and Ming Yu among the male models.
In fact, Xi Ze didnât have to do too much. He just stood there and looked down. To Zeng Shu and Lu Zhenxi, his image was already big enough.
Xi Ze stepped into the training room. The door closed behind him with a âclickâ, as if his presence was being locked into everyoneâs hearts. This caused Old Chen to directly shake for a moment.
They might be newcomers with potential that Muse was developing, but how could they see Xi Ze in person?
It was too hard.
Xi Ze entered the room without releasing the hand holding Ming Yu. He glanced around indifferently before stopping one metre in front of Zeng Shu and Lu Zhenxi. Then he raised an eyebrow with surprise and asked in a flat tone, âZeng Shu?â
The tone of this question made the other person feel even short, as if he was asking âAre you Zeng Shu?â
But Zeng Shu wasnât so easy to shake and his temper wasnât easily provoked. In front of Xi Ze, he just smiled lightly and adjusted his glasses before nodded slightly. âLong time no see, Mr. Xi. Arenât you busy with the Ji and Ya fashion show that is taking place early next year?â
As previously mentioned, Xi Zeâs identity in Muse was complex.
His studio was in Muse and he could be regarded as a Muse model. He was also a major shareholder in Muse and regarded as one of the most important members of the companyâs decision making. But he was the chief designer of the worldâs top luxury brand, Ji and Ya, which had no cooperation with Muse and they couldnât be linked together.
Under such circumstances, many people in the company simply call him âMr. Xiâ instead of giving him other special titles.
Xi Ze lightly nodded at Zeng Shuâs words and replied casually, âYes, I am busy.â
Zeng Shu couldnât help frowning at the simple answer. His lips slightly pouted, but he didnât say anything. After a moment, Zeng Shu nodded to Ming Yu and politely said, âExcuse me, I will leave first with my model. He has a trip tomorrow, so I have to familiarize him with the details today.â
Zeng Shu started walking with Lu Zhenxi following behind him in a trance.
Zeng Shu had nearly left when Xi Ze had a question. Xi Ze looked down at Zeng Shu and asked, âDidnât you invite Ming Yu to dinner tonight as an apology?â
Zeng Shuâs eyes widened and in a place where other people couldnât see, his fingernails tightly embedded into the palm of his hands.
After a while, he smiled and looked up. âMr. Xi, I invited Ming Yu for a meal, but Iâm afraid Lu Zhenxi really canât attend.â Zeng Shu paused and added, âPlease donât get me wrong. The situation isnât what you are imagining.â
Xi Zeâs solemn face unexpectedly showed an indifferent smile at these words. The smile was without a trace of temperature, a cold ice-like indifference. He glanced at Lu Zhenxi and calmly spoke. âDidnât this person bully Ming Yu and asked him to dinner to apologize for his crime?â
The training room suddenly feel silent. Nobody dared to even gasp.
Only Ming Yu looked up into the eyes of the man still holding him. He could understand the other personâs intentions.
Bully.
This word was too serious.
Before this, Brother Yuan only dared to explain what happened between Ming Yu and Lu Zhenxi as a small conflict. He didnât dare say that one side bullied the other.
A big company like Muse could fall into chaos without any basic rules. In this regard, the most common thing was bullying and pressuring newcomers.
You say that Ming Xiaoyu isnât a newcomer and Lu Zhenxi barely just debuted? This was nothing in God Xiâs eyes. If he said it was bullying then it was bullying.
Xi Ze fell silent after saying these words. He indifferently looked down at Zeng Shu and Lu Zhenxi.
Zeng Shuâs face paled. He didnât dare deny Xi Zeâs words, but if he agreed, he was admitting that Lu Zhenxi bullied Ming Yu.
This situation where he had to suffer in silence, it was a really bitter feeling. Zeng Shu gritted his teeth, causing blood to flow down to the stomach.
Finally, Zeng Shu sighed as he gave up his own dignity forLu Zhenxiâs interests. Rather than looking at Xi Ze, he glanced towards the boy standing behind Xi Ze and who was protected by the man. He spoke in a sincere tone, âIâm sorry Ming Yu. I didnât discipline my model, so please forgive me. Tomorrow I will personally bring him to apologize to you, as well as buy dinner for you and everyone else.â
Lu Zhenxi heard his agent say such unexpected words and wanted to open his mouth to refuse. However, he had just opened his mouth when Xi Ze stared at him. This cold indifference gave off a death-like suffocating feeling. Lu Zhenxi shook and couldnât say anything.
Zeng Shu had lowered his attitude and given a sincere apology. Thus, Ming Yu smiled lightly and replied, âBrother Zeng, you donât have to. It really isnât a big deal. Xi Zeâs words are a bit exaggerated.â
Zeng Shu shook his head in response. He once again confirmed to Ming Yu that he would bring Lu Zhenxi to apologize tomorrow, before planning to leave again. However, Xi Ze sighed softly just as Zeng Shu reached the door.
Zeng Shu paused while grabbing the door handle.
Xi Ze gently sighed and asked, âZeng Shu, where did you travel a few days ago?â
After a moment of silence, Zeng Shu replied, âI went to the United Kingdom and won an international second-tier global endorsement. I just returned this afternoon.â
Everyone was shocked when hearing Zeng Shuâs words.
Wouldnât this be regarded as Zeng Shuâs secret?
Xi Ze asked a casual question and Zeng Shu didnât hide anything?
A glimmer of appreciation flashed in the manâs dark eyes. Xi Ze didnât look at Zeng Shu, turning towards the youth man beside him. Then he calmly said, âMany things have developed rapidly, and there is much you should know. Zeng Shu, you should find out what happened in the company over the last few days.â
There was a brief moment of silence. Then Zeng Shu respectfully replied, âGood, Mr. Xi.â He pushed open the door to leave with Lu Zhenxi. But before leaving, he bowed to Xi Ze and said, âWe will be going first, Mr. Xi.â
As the door clicked shut again, Ming Yu closed his eyes and sighed in his heart.
Compared to Zhao Rui, Zeng Shu was an extremely tough agent. In a sense, he was also a good agent.
He tried his best to safeguard his models and when it came to a choice between his dignity and Lu Zhenxiâs interests, he chose the latter.
But this trait of Zeng Shu was precisely his drawback. He defended his models, but he didnât teach his models how to deal with others. Lu Zhenxiâs cleverness might deceive the majority of people, but to Ming Yu, it was just like a childâs game.
Since Zeng Shu had to maintain his modelâs rights, he suppressed others. Then this was already a mistake.
The beautiful youth shook his head, feeling pity for this capable but not smart agent.
Zeng Shu and Lu Zhenxi left, while Brother Yuan, AâZhao and the others didnât quite understand the situation to the end. Butt here were one thing that they knew: Xi Ze was standing before them right now!
AâXue was a diehard Xi Ze fan. She entered the company six months ago, but this was her first time seeing the god in person. The already excited AâXue hurriedly grabbed a pen and paper to get Xi Zeâs signature, then waited with an excited face.
Xi Ze handed them back to the girl and smiled. âToday, I heard that Ming Yu was here. I have something to say to him, so I came over. Tonightâs dinner is my treat. You can go to Ruoshang Hall for a free meal. But Ming Yu⌠I have to take him away.â
The deathly loyal AâXue raised her hands. âGood good, anything you say is good!â
âŚThis excited appearance, it seemed to be saying: âMing Xiaoyu, do you need me to help you pack anything?â
Xi Ze smiled and turned away with Ming Yu.

The two people left the training room. Then Ming Yu stopped and raised his left hand. âArenât you going to let go?â
The man heard this and looked like he was waking up from a dream. His eyebrows raised with surprise and he said, âI unexpectedly forgot.â Xi Ze gently released Ming Yuâs wrist.
The youth stretched his muscles and the two people talked while walking towards the elevator.
The evening clouds were magnificent, bathing the figure of the two in a dream-like cherry red light. As they walked through the glass corridor, a cool breeze blew from a gap in the windows, causing the youthâs hair to become chaotic.
Ming Yu tucked his hair behind his ear and smiled lightly. âXi Ze, I didnât think I would see you again so soon.â He paused and asked, âI have been listening to Sister Wei. Arenât you busy lately with Ji and Ya? Donât you have to prepare for next yearâs fashion show?â
