The Anarchic Consort c1-1376

by Warring Young Seven

  Evidently, Baili Jia Jue did not like Helian Wei Wei focusing on other people, including his sons. "Don't bother yourself. Those two brats can digest anything."

  For some reason, Helian Wei Wei felt like laughing when she saw His Highness purse his thin lips. Without any warning, she tilted her head and kissed him, saying sweetly, "Help me bring the plate to the table."

  Obviously, Baili Jia Jue's mood lifted, but he still found the two little third-wheelers seated opposite him annoying. Qingchen could be easily let off the hook, but he was utterly vexed that the elder son, who did not have to eat human food, was competing with him for the pan-fried stuffed buns.

  Baili Shangxie loved annoying his father. He was well aware of his father's possessiveness, hence he deliberately ate a few more of the pan-fried stuffed buns.

  Baili Jia Jue glared at his actions coldly as an evil grin crept onto his face. "Shangxie, you don't have to go to kindergarten today. The advertis.e.m.e.nt company that you collaborated with previously was very satisfied with your performance, so they want to appoint you to shoot another advertis.e.m.e.nt. Come with me to the office in the afternoon. There's something that I need to discuss with you in private."

  Baili Shangxie almost choked on his bun, and he struggled to reply, "Dad, I'm still a kid, isn't it bad to work at such a young age?"

  Helian Qingchen was at an utter loss of words. Are there really no other objectives behind these words?

  "Do you not want to enter the entertainment industry anymore?" Baili Jia Jue's eyebrows twitched dangerously.

  Baili Shangxie gritted his teeth. He wanted to, but he did not want to discuss this matter with his father in private. What would the difference be between this and him being beaten up one-sidedly?

  "I also feel that Shangxie may be too young." Helian Wei Wei stroked her elder son's hair and continued lovingly, "Wouldn't it be too early for him to enter the entertainment industry?"

  Baili Jia Jue slowly glanced over at Helian Wei Wei. "I don't think so. He's already three years old. He should be able to earn money to sustain himself."

  Helian Wei Wei blinked, speechless.

  Evidently, there was a glaring difference between His Highness' definition of m.a.t.u.r.e age and hers.

  Even so, Baili Shangxie was a great elder brother. Thus, when he heard that he could earn money, eventually, he agreed reluctantly.

  Baili Shangxie would have never cared about this in the past. However, ever since he was reunited with Qingchen, he felt that he had the responsibility of feeding this family.

  Baili Shangxie's definition of supporting the family was buying tasty food and fun toys for his younger brother, as well as providing him with a lot of money.

  Therefore, Baili Shangxie disgruntledly followed his father to the company that day.

  Usually, there were not many people in the chairman's office in Jue Wei Group. Hence, it was rather convenient for Baili Jia Jue to have a 'friendly' talk with his son. He asked, "Now, tell me. Did you snitch on me to your Imperial Mother when I wasn't around?"

  "Dad, I can tell you everything, but can you not make me stand so close to the wall? You're scaring away all the ghosts around here." Baili Shangxie raised both of his small arms in defeat, his little demonic canines were almost showing.

  Heedless, Baili Jia Jue unhurriedly produced his phone and opened up WeChat. "Face the phone. You must list out all your crimes honestly to your Imperial Mother, and add another list of three of my strengths. Or else, I will dump you back into the demon realm next month."

  No matter how aloof Baili Shangxie usually was, he seemed to be losing his cool at this moment. Thus, he tugged at his hair and avowed his crimes in the message.

  "Mom, I shouldn't have said that dad has had many women before you. In fact, he'd been relying on his right hand a lot throughout these three years."

  "You already know how much of a pervert he is, he thinks that everyone is dirty anyway."

  "Hmm, I also shouldn't have said that he cheated, or thought of leaving the family with you and little brother."

  "He asked me to list three of his strengths. I spent a long time racking my brains, but I still couldn't think of any."

  When Helian Wei Wei played his last voice message, a man could be heard hissing in a deep voice, "Shut the hell up, you brat!"

  She could not help but break into a peal of laughter. Instead of replying to his message, she called him directly and asked, "What are you trying to do?"

  "He feels sorry and is repenting now," Baili Jia Jue lied with a straight face. "Where are you now?"

  Helian Wei Wei put away the things in her hands and replied, "I'm at the garage, but I'm almost done. There's nothing left to eat in the fridge at home, so I was thinking of bringing Little Qingchen to the supermarket later."

  "I didn't drive to work today." Baili Jia Jue glared at his elder son who was playing with the reapers against the wall, before taking a glance at the reporters standing guard outside the building. The corners of his thin lips gradually hooked up into a smile as he said, "Come and pick me up from work. We can stop by the supermarket together. Then, we can go home…"

  Chapter 997 - Announcing A Personal Affair

  "I didn't drive to work today." Baili Jia Jue glared at his elder son who was playing with the reapers against the wall, before taking a glance at the reporters standing guard outside the building. The corners of his thin lips gradually hooked up into a smile as he said, "Come and pick me up from work. We can stop by the supermarket together. Then, we can go home…"

  Helian Wei Wei did not doubt him at all and replied immediately, "Great, I'll go and pick you up later. I'm going to end the call, I still have some things to be done."

  Baili Jia Jue looked at the call that had been cut off, but he did not feel any unpleasant premonition. Instead, the smile lingering at the corner of his lips grew.

  Baili Shangxie still had both of his small arms suspended in the air. He seemed unbothered as he pondered silently to himself. Jue Wei Group has so many cars, father could easily just order someone to drive him home. Why did he insist on having Imperial Mother pick him up? What are his motives?

  Is it because of the reporters out there?

  A glint of light flashed through Baili Shangxie's pair of scarlet eyes.

  Could it be that Father wants to…

  "President Jue, the reporters outside are all ready." Manager Zhang, who was in charge of corporate publicity, walked up to him with a warm smile and added, "I'm not sure what President Jue intends to announce. All the reporters present are very excited, but they are also worried that they might accidentally ask about a topic that they must not touch. Hence, I'm here to ask you about this in advance. Is there anything that you don't want to speak about?"

  Baili Jia Jue crossed his long legs, his side profile was charmingly handsome as he replied, "There's nothing that they shouldn't bring up, because…" He paused and raised his eyes with what seemed like a smile on his face, as he met Manager Zhang's eyes, continuing, "This time, I'll be announcing a personal affair."

  Personal affair?

  Manager Zhang's eyes widened, and for a moment, he lost his professional demeanor.

  However, one could not blame him for reacting that way. Every worker was well aware that their boss had always been a mysterious person, ever since he moved to A City.

  He was a famous person, and was widely known by people from A City and nearby cities. Especially those who worked in the same industry, very few would be unaware of Baili Jia Jue's existence. Many people racked their brains for ideas to be acquainted with him. Furthermore, when the media heard his name, they would all be fighting to obtain first-hand information about him.

  However, the media dared not do so. They simply could not afford to provoke this man, who was as all-powerful and overbearing as an emperor.

  Manager Du, who was previously in charge of corporate publicity, foolishly angered him by bringing a large swarm of reporters to the building for an intervie
w. Consequently, he was directly sacked by President Jue from the Jue Wei Group and his future in the industry was completely impeded.

  Now, the president is voluntarily holding a press conference to talk about his private affairs?

  Manager Zhang felt the world around him whirl as if he was hallucinating, wondering if he had heard him wrongly.

  "What is it?" Baili Jia Jue put his ballpen down and raised a brow at him, asking. "Do you have any questions about this?"

  Manager Zhang immediately shook his head and stuttered, "No, definitely not."

  "I'll make sure that the media are ready for the press conference now." Manager Zhang reverted to his diligent workaholic self and replied meekly, "I'll be taking my leave now, President Jue."

  However, Baili Shangxie began, "Manager Zhang, please help me to look for a manager."

  "A manager?" Confused, Manager Zhang froze in his tracks. If other children spouted such a thing, he would have coaxed them with candies. However, these words were uttered by the little demon boss. Every member of the internal upper management of the Jue Wei Group knew better than to mess with this little child.

  He was different from the other regular rich children. He did not have to rely on anyone's strength and would send chills down people's spines, once they had witnessed what he could do to them.

  Manager Zhang had always wondered to himself about the person President Jue raised this crazy genius with. He could make people surrender themselves to him just by standing there, even though he was merely a child.

  "That's right, a manager." Baili Shangxie remained standing still, with his arms locked above his head as a punishment. Therefore, he could only stare at Manager Zhang and spoke coldly, "I need a Golden Plaque Manager to help me make my debut."

  "Debut?" Manager Zhang felt that shocking news came at him today, wave after wave. The debut that Little Young Master spoke of, is it the one that I'm thinking about?

  Baili Shangxie continued apathetically, "I want to officially enter the entertainment industry from now on. You will have to see me more often in the future. Other than a manager, you better get me a thrifty assistant. Otherwise, Manager Zhang, I will fire you."

  Manager Zhang was rendered speechless. D*mn it! He was in charge of corporate publicity and not human resources. Why am I the one that is sacked if Little Young Master can't find a suitable assistant?

  "I'll try my best to find one." Manager Zhang felt remarkably helpless. It was the 134th time that he was overwhelmed with the urge to resign.

  "Yes. You don't have to worry about finding an assistant so soon. You can first look for some of the best Golden Plaque Managers and call them up, then invite them over." As the little one spoke, his tone was extremely cool.

  However, when a child made such a statement, while leaning against the corner of the wall with both arms raised, the scene was undeniably very comical.

  Manager Zhang was trying extremely hard to suppress his laughter. Only when one of the best Golden Plaque Managers in the entire entertainment industry walked in looking lost, he could finally let out a sigh of relief.

  "President Jue, did you ask to see me?" The Golden Plaque Manager was undoubtedly the best, as he could efficiently analyze the atmosphere the moment he set foot into the office. As his eyelid started to twitch, he could more or less figure out that the person who was looking for him was not Manager Zhang, but instead… What is the little demon boss doing in that position? If I'm not wrong, is he being punished?

  The Golden Plaque Manager only took one glimpse at Baili Shangxie and dared not peer again. After all, everyone knew that they must never provoke the little demon boss, even if he seemed very adorable now!

  Baili Jia Jue's voice still sounded graceful and clear. Even though he did not look up, he still exerted an insurmountable pressure on the people around him, as he said, "I'm not the one looking for you."

  Then? The Golden Plaque Manager was a little baffled regarding the situation, as Manager Zhang only told him over the phone to come to the office as soon as possible, without further information. Even the secretary who was sitting outside the office knew nothing about it. According to his usual routine, there was no reason for him to be called to the top level of the building, because he was merely a small leader of the entertainment industry in Jue Wei Group after all. No matter how outstanding he was, he was merely a manager. So, why am I summoned here?

  "I'm the one that asked Manager Zhang to recommend me to a manager and he chose you." The little one's back was pressed against the wall. Then, he pursed his lips forcefully and continued, "I'm not in a good position to retrieve the doc.u.ments. There's an agreement on top of the desk, go and take a look at it. If there's no problem, please sign it. I want to debut immediately."

  Debut? Recommendation?

  His reaction was similar to Manager Zhang's.

  The Golden Plaque Manager's straight back instantly went numb. He quickly glanced at Manager Zhang, wondering furiously to himself. We were schoolmates and have known each other for so many years, how could you frame me like this?

  Chapter 998 - His Highness

  Manager Zhang stared at the ceiling with guilt…

  He was left with no other choice. If there was no one to shift the Little Young Demon Master's attention, he would need to bear all the pain. He could only bring his best friend into this mess. As the saying goes, best buddies were meant to be deceived!

  The golden plague manager fought to suppress his emotions and began to convince himself that, at the very least, he would never find a second child with a temperament like Little Young Demon Master's under this vast sky. Although those who had spent ample time with Little Young Master would eventually go crazy, the unique little demon-like face would unquestionably seize him considerable fame once he had debuted!

  Besides, all of Jue Wei Group's funds would be used on him… To think of it now, could he assume that he was given a promotion?

  After a lot of self-convincing, the golden plague manager sifted through the doc.u.ments. "This advertis.e.m.e.nt is great, it's under one of the local first-line companies with sizable influence. It's well-suited for Young Masters' identity. Using this advertis.e.m.e.nt as your debut would undoubtedly make everyone remember you, Young Master."

  "It's alright even if they don't remember me. The most important is, how's the price they had proposed?" Baili Shangxie raised a small eyebrow.

  The golden plague manager took a glimpse at the price and answered, "Although it cannot compare to movie superstars, at least it's sensible for Young Master's identity. They are paying you a reasonable price."

  Once Baili Shangxie heard him, he jutted his small chin out. "I can appear half-n.a.k.e.d in front of the camera."

  So? The golden plague manager was baffled. He did not understand why Little Young Demon Master would jump from the previous topic to this.

  "Wouldn't appearing n.a.k.e.d increase the price?" Baili Shangxie pointed at him, superiority laced in his voice. "So you have to tell them about this and you will be responsible for increasing my payment."

  The golden plague manager was rendered speechless. He's not wrong! There are indeed some male superstars who appear shirtless in commercials and are rewarded a fortune, but you're just a three-year-old kid whose n.a.k.e.d body is not visually pleasing and of no use!!!! Tell me, who will want to look at you, who!!!

  Listening from the side, Manager Zhang almost broke out in a laughing fit. Especially when he saw his best friend petrified, frozen like a rock. He clasped a hand around his mouth and cleared his throat. "Little Young Master, you're just debuting, the pay should not be your main concern, you should first focus on gaining fame."

  "To me, a high price is the most important thing." Baili Shangxie said sternly.

  The golden plague manager frowned. "Young Master, what do you need so much money for?" Jue Wei Group's stock value increases steadily every day, so what's the matter with Little Young Master?

  Baili Shangxie furrowed his lit
tle eyebrows and said, "You should know that supporting a family is difficult nowadays."

  He had always known that supporting a family was indeed a demanding task, but why were these words spilling from the mouth of a child of age three?!

  The golden plague manager, who had always been calm in front of the media, fisted his hair anxiously. "So?"

  "So, ask them to raise my advertis.e.m.e.nt fee. I'm not sure whether that small amount of money can cover my little brother's education fees." Baili Shangxie's face remained indifferent as he let out a solemn sigh. "Life. It's really not easy."

  The golden plague manager was once again at a loss of words. What are you complaining about, being a three-year-old brat!

  Manager Zhang peered at his old friend, who was about to go insane. He then hauled him over and spoke to him in a low voice, "Did you hear what Little Young Master just said?"

  "Of course I heard him, he said he wanted to support the family. A three-year-old child wants to support a family?" The golden plague manager did not know whether to laugh or to cry. "He said he wanted to pay for his little brother's…"

  Little brother?!

  The golden plague manager and Manager Zhang exchanged an alarmed glance right away!

  Snap.

  Baili Jia Jue reached out and shut his Apple laptop. Lifting his gaze, he glanced in their direction.

  The golden plague manager and Manager Zhang gulped timidly.

  Unexpectedly, the president, who had been nicknamed the demon, appeared to be in a good mood. He did not even bring up the small talk that they just had, instead, he looked at his two subordinates with what seemed like a smile. "To get here from the garage… Hmm, it's about time. Go and prepare for the press conference, arrange it to be in the level one hall, I'll go down with Shangxie."
