"...The situation is more or less like this; saying it's being shelved isn't completely accurate. If nothing unexpected happens, I'm afraid I won't have the opportunity to hold concerts anymore in the future."

In response to Mu Shanshan's inquiry, Meng Ke'er did not have any intention of hiding the truth. After all, after being directly rejected by Mu Shanshan, her plea to have a meal alone with Lin Fei was the most heartbreaking moment for Meng Ke'er.

Therefore, regarding why her management company decided to shelve her, Meng Ke'er naturally had no reason to conceal it. On the contrary, with Mu Shanshan showing interest, Meng Ke'er was more than willing to share.

It was somewhat comforting for her heart in a twisted way.

After all, similar heartbreaking matters left buried in one's heart would not make anyone feel good.

And upon hearing Meng Keer's account of how the police were pursuing the son of her management company's major shareholder, the major shareholder pressured the company board to shelve her in anger. After a brief silence, Mu Shanshan seemed unfazed by the mist of tears in Meng Ke'er's eyes.

Mu Shanshan spoke directly and solemnly, "So, the one wanting to shelve you is your management company, not you wanting to retire from the music scene yourself?"

Hearing Mu Shanshan's insinuating question, Meng Ke'er, who appeared slightly startled, smirked self-deprecatingly after a moment of daze, "To be honest, Ms. Mu, I never thought of leaving the music industry. Because, apart from singing, I can't think of anything else I could do."

Although Meng Ke'er is globally renowned, she also has a rather helpless side.

Sent to an art school by her parents at a young age, with a heavenly voice, Meng Ke'er naturally embarked on the path of singing.

This singing journey has lasted almost twenty years.

It can be said that from the day she set foot in art school, singing became the main theme of Meng Ke'er's life. Compared to her peers' vibrant adolescent lives, Meng Ke'er's past twenty years can be summed up in two words—singing!

Nothing but singing and more singing.

Especially after being signed by her current management company, her life has revolved around singing, singing, and more singing!

To some extent, this is one of the main reasons why Meng Ke'er couldn't help but fall for Lin Fei after being rescued by him back then.

Lin Fei brought her not only the saving of her life but also a profound impact on the yearning and longing that had been restrained by singing for years.

In short, Lin Fei, using the Hell's Judgement Organization's Manzhou base's influence, wiped out the Ausar Mercenary Corps and dispatched over twenty helicopters to return the stranded passengers to Zhonghai City.

This deeply impacted Meng Ke'er's restrained heart over the years and left an indelible heroic image in the woman's heart.

Beauty admiring heroes is an age-old norm.

This is also the motivation sustaining Meng Ke'er to hold a concert in Zhonghai City.

Now, because of an unforeseen disaster, the main theme of her life for many years is to be mercilessly stripped away. The disappointment, confusion, and helplessness in Meng Ke'er's heart are imaginable.

In some ways, this is also one of the main reasons Meng Ke'er chose to come to the Mu Group to find Lin Fei during the day.

She needed comfort.

Yet, before she could express her predicament to Lin Fei, Lin Fei left first.

Now, Mu Shanshan has also turned down her request to dine alone with Lin Fei.

Describing Meng Ke'er's mental state as thoroughly disheartened is utterly appropriate at this moment.

"Since Ms. Mu is unwilling to agree to me dining with Lin Fei, there's no need for me to stay here any longer. I sincerely apologize for all that happened today; please, in any case, don't take it to heart, Ms. Mu."

Holding back tears, after apologizing to Mu Shanshan, Meng Ke'er intended to rise and leave immediately.

However, at the moment Meng Ke'er finished speaking and was about to rise, Mu Shanshan's expression revealed subtle seriousness as she calmly spoke, "Miss Meng, please wait. As for the matter of Lin Fei, I indeed have no intention nor capability to agree to you right now. However, setting Lin Fei aside, there's a business matter I'd like to discuss with you."

"Business matter? Ms. Mu, you're not joking with me, are you?" Upon hearing Mu Shanshan's words, Meng Ke'er couldn't help but look surprised.

It's not that Meng Ke'er disbelieved Mu Shanshan. It's just that, considering their respective statuses, Meng Ke'er couldn't imagine what business Mu Shanshan might have to discuss with her.

After all, although Meng Ke'er is globally celebrated, she's fundamentally just a popular singer. Meanwhile, Mu Shanshan is the leader of Mu Group, a company among the top five hundred enterprises in Mo Country, thanks to her successful expansion into the East Luoya market.

Between the two, both seem to be members of high society, but in truth, Meng Ke'er is not really qualified to be compared with Mu Shanshan.

Especially given that she's soon to be shelved by her management company.

Meng Ke'er's inner hesitance didn't last long.

Shortly after the woman's voice fell silent, Mu Shanshan straightforwardly explained to her, "Although I'm not very interested in concerts and similar activities, I'm somewhat familiar with your fame, Miss Meng. It's truly not easy for Mo Country to produce a globally renowned singer like you. So, I'm not prepared to stand by and watch you get shelved by some scheming individuals due to an unforeseen disaster."

As Mu Shanshan spoke to this point, Meng Ke'er's heart slowly gained some insight into what Mu Shanshan meant by "business matter."

However, recalling their previous verbal clash over Lin Fei, Meng Ke'er, surprised as she was, couldn't help but feel a bit incredulous.

Luckily, Meng Ke'er, being a globally celebrated star, though feeling a bit unreal deep down, quickly gathered herself after a couple of deep breaths.

"Ms. Mu, you want to help me?"

Under Meng Ke'er's astonished and doubtful gaze, Mu Shanshan gently shook her head, speaking solemnly, "You misunderstood, I don't want to help you; I'm prepared to sign you."

"Sign me?!"

Mu Shanshan nodded slightly, once again speaking in a deep voice to explain to Meng Ke'er, "Yes, sign you. If you're willing, I can have my secretary contact your management company right now. In the shortest time possible, help you terminate your contract with your current management company. Of course, the prerequisite for me to help terminate your contract with your current company is that, after termination, you cannot sign with any other company; you can only sign with our Mu Group!"
