She was tricked into marriage for three years, then remarried a childless, tough guy and became preg

As soon as Shen Tang entered the Paramount Ballroom, she took out five sheet music from her bag and handed them to Gu Siming.

"I have five songs here, each costing two hundred."

"Two hundred?" Gu Siming frowned.

"Yes," Shen Tang said, "to avoid wasting time, I'll sing you the climax directly. Do you think it's worth it?"

Shen Tang strode onto the stage, picked up the microphone, and began to sing.

Gu Siming's smile grew wider and wider, and before Shen Tang had even finished singing, he clapped his hands vigorously.

"good!"

Shen Tang stepped off the stage and said decisively, "Boss Gu, as you know, it's not convenient for me to be here. So, to make a long story short, here's the contract. Sign it and pay."

Gu Siming burst into laughter, "You really are something else, all you want to do is talk business with me."

"Otherwise what?" Shen Tang asked seriously.

Gu Siming's intimate actions just now had already made her feel uncomfortable.

She continued, "Mr. Gu, I have no feelings for you and don't want any contact with you other than business. Also, please keep your distance from me in the future; I hate any inappropriate physical contact."

Gu Siming's eyes darkened, and the smile on his face vanished.

"You're being very disrespectful to me by talking like that."

Shen Tang chuckled lightly, "Respect is something you earn yourself."

Gu Siming narrowed his eyes and stared at Shen Tang.

On the other side, Commander Zhang called three or four soldiers and hurriedly went out the gate.

Although Commander Zhang was angry because Shen Tang went to the dance hall, he was more worried.

Shen Tang has been performing well since joining the cultural troupe, and even won first place in the last performance. She is a promising talent.

She didn't want to see such a promising talent ruined.

Commander Zhang led four or five soldiers into the Paramount Ballroom, followed by Geng Yan.

Shen Tang's palms tightened; things were getting complicated.

As soon as Geng Yan came in, she pointed at Shen Tang and said, "Commander Zhang, look, she's really here."

She looked at Shen Tang and sneered, "Shen Tang, why are you here? You must have an improper relationship with Boss Gu."

Just as Shen Tang was about to speak, Gu Siming took a few steps forward and coldly looked at Geng Yan:

"Say it again?"

Startled by his cold gaze, Geng Yan took a half step back and stammered as she looked at Commander Zhang.

Commander Zhang frowned, about to speak, when Gu Siming turned to look at her:

"Commander Zhang, does your cultural troupe accept just anyone? Anyone who spouts nonsense and ruins people's reputations should be expelled."

Regiment Commander Zhang said sternly, "Geng Yan, don't make things up without evidence."

Just then, Huo Xiuyuan walked out from behind, dressed in casual clothes.

Commander Zhang frowned: "Commander Huo? What are you doing here?"

Huo Xiuyuan glanced at Shen Tang and said, "Boss Gu heard that we were going to do disaster relief and wanted to donate a batch of supplies to us. I don't have time, so I asked Shen Tang to come and make the arrangements first."

Shen Tang looked up at him, a hint of shock flashing in her eyes.

Where did Huo Xiuyuan come from?

Shen Tang composed herself and nodded, "Yes."

She looked at Commander Zhang and said, "Commander Zhang, I left in a hurry and didn't have time to inform you. I'm sorry to have worried you."

Shen Tang's words both proved her innocence and gave Commander Zhang a way out.

Regiment Commander Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that everything is alright."

Shen Tang turned her gaze to Geng Yan: "Did you go back and report me? You're doing the same thing again, framing me for having a disease last time. What, do you have a grudge against me?"

Geng Yan panicked: "No, I... I'm afraid you'll be bullied."

"Who bullied you?" Gu Siming looked at her coldly.

Geng Yan trembled at his gaze, her lips quivered, and she couldn't utter a single word.

"Geng Yan, apologize to Shen Tang," Commander Zhang said.

Geng Yan lowered her head and whispered in a voice barely above a whisper, "I'm sorry."

Shen Tang stared at her coldly without saying a word.

Huo Xiuyuan turned to look at Commander Zhang: "Commander Zhang, everyone knows you are strict. Geng Yan has done this time and time again, she should be severely punished."

Commander Zhang stared at Geng Yan for a few seconds with a stern face: "Geng Yan, this is your last chance. If there's a next time, you'll be expelled."

Geng Yan pursed her lips and nodded: "Yes. I promise it won't happen again."

Huo Xiuyuan turned to Gu Siming: "Boss Gu, let's talk about the supplies inside. Shen Tang, you come along too."

Commander Zhang left with his men, giving Geng Yan another severe scolding.

Gu Siming, Huo Xiuyuan, and Shen Tang walked into the office together.

Gu Siming sat relaxed in his office chair, smiling as he looked at Huo Xiuyuan:

"Huo Xiuyuan, I never knew you had this side to you."

Huo Xiuyuan gave him a warning look and said to Shen Tang, "Gu Siming and I are friends. We've known each other since we were in Guangdong."

Shen Tang glanced at the two of them and said with a smile, "Then things will be easier."

She looked at Gu Siyuan and said, "You don't need to give me the money. Just ask Boss Gu to purchase the disaster relief supplies and hand them over to Commander Huo later."

Gu Siming narrowed his eyes. "All of them?"

"All of them," Shen Tang confirmed.

She had originally planned to buy supplies to donate to the disaster area, but now that she had this opportunity, she was much more at ease.

Gu Siming stared at Shen Tang, nodded, and smiled.

Huo Xiuyuan looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression.

He had just gone to see Commander Zhang about something, and happened to overhear Geng Yan complaining.

He finished explaining what he was doing and quickly came in through the back door.

As for why Shen Tang came to the Paramount, he didn't know either.

"What do you mean? What money?" Huo Xiuyuan looked at Shen Tang.

Shen Tang glanced at him, very grateful that he had helped her out of that predicament.

However, it's better for Huo Xiuyuan not to know about this.

Seeing that Shen Tang refused to speak, Huo Xiuyuan turned to look at Gu Siming.

Gu Siming's gaze dampened Shen Tang's spirits.

Shen Tang said, "Boss Gu, don't forget the confidentiality agreement."

Gu Siming raised an eyebrow and looked at Huo Xiuyuan. "Sorry, I have no comment."

Huo Xiuyuan narrowed his eyes at him, and Gu Siming looked away.

"I have something to do, I'll be leaving now." Shen Tang stood up.

Shen Tang stepped out the door and let out a deep breath.

We were so grateful to Huo Xiuyuan just now, otherwise things would have been really difficult. It seems we need to be more careful next time we come.

In the Paramount office, Huo Xiuyuan sat on the sofa with a cold face.

"You like her, but she doesn't like you, right?" Gu Siming sat down opposite Huo Xiuyuan and said with a smile.

"Which eye of yours saw that she doesn't like me?" Huo Xiuyuan asked, frowning.

"Anyone with eyes can see that she's avoiding you," Gu Siming said, looking at Huo Xiuyuan.

Huo Xiuyuan took a deep breath and stared at Gu Siming, saying:

What secret do you two have?

"I can't say."

Huo Xiuyuan stood up. "Are you sure?"

Gu Siming frowned. "Aren't you putting me in a difficult position?" He pushed the contract in his bag forward.

Huo Xiuyuan picked up the contract and looked at it. "Five songs, one thousand yuan?"

Gu Siming nodded. "Huo Xiuyuan, she's a real gem. If you can't handle it, I'll take her on."
