The "Twelve Zodiacs" was finally disbanded. Except for Lu Jingran and Shen Qianqian, everyone else was happy.
Although the group was disbanded, the members were still there, and the fans didn't show any resistance. They just hoped that the boys could form a new group soon and resume their activities.
Wu Pengpeng noticed that Shen Qianqian had been in a bad mood and thought she was reluctant to part with the group.
After the press conference, she called Shen Qianqian to her office and said straightforwardly, "Since you like them, you can take over and manage them from now on!"
Shen Qianqian thought Wu Pengpeng was angry about the heartless words she said in the morning and had called her in to scold her. She had already prepared herself for a lecture.
Unexpectedly, Wu Pengpeng brought up the boy group again. She was caught off guard and stood there stunned.
Wu Pengpeng took out a file bag from the drawer and pushed it in front of Shen Qianqian.
"You've taken care of me for so long. I've always wanted to give you something to show my gratitude, but I couldn't decide what to give. Now I'll give you 'Extraordinary Entertainment'!"
She opened the file bag, which contained the business license and official seal of "Extraordinary Entertainment".
Just before the press conference started, she called Zhao Bufan and told him her idea.
Although Zhao Bufan was a bit dissatisfied with her wasteful behavior, he respected her decision and agreed to hand over "Extraordinary Entertainment" to Shen Qianqian.
Shen Qianqian was stunned for a moment before she understood what Wu Pengpeng meant. Her eyes welled up with tears. "Sister Peng..."
They had just met by chance at first. It was Wu Pengpeng who had always accommodated and taken care of her, and now she was giving such a generous gift.
"I can't take this." Shen Qianqian sniffed and fought back the soreness in her nose. "Sister Peng, I know you're kind and generous, but..."
"Just take it!" This time it wasn't about being wasteful. She just wanted to leave Shen Qianqian a way out.
Wu Pengpeng gave her a gentle smile. "You can manage 'Extraordinary Entertainment' well from now on. I have 'Rich Film and Television' and that's enough for me."
She had He Qianshan and that was enough. Everything else was like passing clouds to her. It was better to give it to someone who cherished it more.
Shen Qianqian still shook her head. "You've been so good to me. I can't be such a selfish person..."
Wu Pengpeng gently interrupted her. "Do you like Lu Jingran?"
Shen Qianqian was caught off guard by her words, and her expression froze for a moment.
Wu Pengpeng confirmed her suspicion and said happily, "I promised you before that if you met someone you liked, I'd spend as much money as it took to help you win his heart."
She winked at Shen Qianqian and showed a sly look. "With 'Extraordinary Entertainment', you can help him in his career in the future. It's easier to succeed when you're in a favorable position, silly girl!"
These were Wu Pengpeng's sincere words. She really liked Shen Qianqian and wanted to help her.
She didn't have any siblings in her previous life. In this life, she finally had two brothers, but due to conflicts of interest, they had fallen out and couldn't communicate sincerely.
She regarded Shen Qianqian as her own younger sister and hoped she could get everything she wanted.
Looking into Wu Pengpeng's clear and sincere eyes, Shen Qianqian suddenly felt extremely guilty. "Sister Peng... I'm sorry..."
Between her friend and her lover, she had chosen her lover.
"What's there to apologize for?" Wu Pengpeng knew what she was feeling guilty about and said indifferently. "If I had to choose between you and Yan Shen, I'd choose Yan Shen too. So..."
She reached out and ruffled Shen Qianqian's hair, gentle and forgiving. "Don't feel guilty. I'm the older sister. The older sister is the one who gives more."
After hearing Wu Pengpeng's heartfelt words, Shen Qianqian felt a mix of emotions.
She was an only child and had never had siblings to accompany her since childhood. No one had ever considered things from her perspective like this.
At first, she thought Wu Pengpeng had ulterior motives and always kept a bit of a guard. As long as Wu Pengpeng made any overly intimate moves, she would immediately run away.
It wasn't until later that she learned that the person Wu Pengpeng loved was He Qianshan that she gradually let down her guard and tried to accept her. But her feelings for Wu Pengpeng were just the respect and affection of a subordinate for her superior.
"Sister Peng..."
"Don't cry!" Wu Pengpeng stuffed the things into her arms without giving her a chance to refuse and pushed her towards the door. "Since you haven't completely left your job yet, stand your last shift well. Make arrangements for everyone to have dinner together tonight."
Shen Qianqian nodded tearfully. When she reached the door, she turned back and said seriously, "Sister Peng, thank you. I will surely repay you in the future."
Wu Pengpeng was satisfied with the word "future" and nodded with a smile. "Okay."
Just as she saw Shen Qianqian off, a message from He Qianshan came in: "Is the press conference over?"
Wu Pengpeng knew he was worried about her safety and smiled as she dialed He Qianshan's phone.
He answered immediately. "Are you done?"
Wu Pengpeng hummed in agreement and voluntarily reported, "The press conference was very successful today. The fans were very generous. They didn't scold me, let alone beat me. I brought twenty bodyguards for nothing."
Seeing that she still had the mood to joke, He Qianshan finally felt at ease after worrying all morning.
He got up and walked to the window. Outside, it was snowing heavily, and the world was covered in white.
Suddenly, he blurted out, "Miss Wu, let's set off fireworks together tonight!"
As soon as the words were out of his mouth, He Qianshan regretted it. He knew Wu Pengpeng was busy with important things, but he still made such a childish proposal, like an unreliable child.
Before he could try to make up for it, he heard Wu Pengpeng say excitedly, "Okay. You go to the castle and wait for me first. I'll rush back as soon as I'm done."
Hearing her excited tone, He Qianshan couldn't help but smile. "Okay. I'll wait for you."
Because she was looking forward to the date with He Qianshan that night, the whole afternoon seemed extremely long to Wu Pengpeng.
She talked to Jiang He about a new wasteful project, discussed the "development" plan of Zhengling Group for next year with Zhao Bufan, and bought a few junk stocks by the way. She finally managed to wait until six o'clock in the afternoon.
Shen Qianqian had booked a Western restaurant. The environment was elegant, the dishes were delicious, and the dining atmosphere was excellent.
Everyone in the group was happy, except for Lu Jingran, who was in a low mood from beginning to end and sat in the corner drinking alone.
Out of the corner of her eye, Wu Pengpeng noticed that Shen Qianqian's eyes always involuntarily drifted towards Lu Jingran. She wanted to go up and talk to him but was too shy.
As a qualified helper, she couldn't let her sister be anxious. So she deliberately called the boy sitting next to Lu Jingran and asked him to switch seats with Shen Qianqian.
The boy who was called looked as flustered as a student being called on by the teacher to answer a question. "What's wrong, General Manager Wu? You suddenly called me. I'm so nervous."
Wu Pengpeng was amused by him and casually told a lie. "I see that you can hold your liquor well. I want you to come over and drink with me. What, are you not willing?"
"Of course I'm willing." Seeing that he was asked to drink, the boy quickly picked up the wine bottle and walked over. He poured a glass for Wu Pengpeng. "Come, General Manager Wu. I'd like to toast you."
Wu Pengpeng was forced to drink three glasses in a row. Before she could catch her breath, the other members came up one after another to toast her. After a round, she had drunk thirteen glasses.
No matter how good Wu Pengpeng's drinking capacity was, she couldn't take it. But as this was the last meal with everyone, she didn't want to refuse and accepted every toast.
Finally, after a round of toasts, she was just about to catch her breath when another glass of wine was handed to her.
Wu Pengpeng took a deep breath, forced a smile, and looked up. She saw Lu Jingran looking at her expressionlessly.
"General Manager Wu, thank you for taking care of me during this period. I'd like to toast you with this glass." After saying that, he tilted his head and drank it all in one gulp.
Wu Pengpeng had no choice but to drink another glass reluctantly.
In the next half an hour, Lu Jingran seemed to be competing with her. He kept pulling her to drink glass after glass. In the end, he successfully got himself drunk and was sent home early by Shen Qianqian.
At ten o'clock at night, the dinner finally ended. Wu Pengpeng had drunk a lot of wine. When she went outside and was hit by the cold wind, her stomach started to burn with pain.
The pain was so intense that she couldn't even straighten her back. Subconsciously, she reached out to grab something to support herself against the wall, but instead, she grabbed a warm and rough hand.
