The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 963

After hanging up the phone, Nathaniel grimaced.

He knew that Lebanon was a celebrity, but why did this person come to Mango for no reason?

"Ned, go and investigate Lebanon thoroughly."

"Got it, Mr. Ye."

After Ned went out, Nathaniel still felt that something was wrong. He called Eugene again.

"Help me to check on a person."

"Who is it?"

"Lebanon Fang."

Eugene paused for a moment before hanging up.

After Mango put down the phone, she also felt puzzled. Why would such a famous celebrity with tons of resources come to her?

She did not think that she was outstanding. In this society, without Nathaniel's support, how could her small film and television company survive? Why did an A-lister decide to come and share his own resources with her small company?

Mango was not a fool, and she could think about these problems before she made a decision.

She took a deep breath and decided to look for

Rainie. After so long, Rainie had also attracted some popularity.

Haniya helped Mango to get ready after Mango's instruction.

Then, Mango drove to Polygon Spartial Building after knowing that Rainie was recording there.

Polygon Spartial Building was a multi-scale edifice, and many industries were located here. Mango knew that Rainie was recording, and it would take about half an hour. Furthermore, the recording studio was a private entity, so she could not simply enter the place. She booked a table in the restaurant on the fourth floor and planned to eat something while waiting for Rainie to come down.

Mango ordered a cup of Cappuccino, then she took out her mobile phone and began to browse Twitter. After all, she had to update and equip herself with the latest news and relevant information since she had opened a film and television company. At the same time, she could find some reliable resources for her new artists.

Just as Mango was engrossed in browsing Twitter, a voice with a mellow tone sounded above her head.

"Can I sit here?"

Mango was stunned for a moment. When she looked up, she saw a handsome man standing in front of her. She frowned slightly and looked around. The restaurant was packed, and there were no seats left. "Go ahead."

After saying that, Mango lowered her head and continued to scroll through Twitter. She ignored the man.

Lebanon looked at the woman in front of him and could not help but feel a little hilarious.

He was afraid of being recognized by his fans no matter where he went. However, he never imagined that he would become a nobody in Mango's eyes.

How long had it been since the last time he felt at ease?

Lebanon could no longer remember.

He looked at Mango tenderly.

Mango was neither a fool nor was she blind. She felt a little disgusted at Lebanon's intense gaze.

"Sir, you'd better finish your drink and leave quickly as I'll be meeting with a friend soon. There will be no place for you at that time."

Mango did not want to chase him away, but her words indicated that she wanted him to leave as soon as possible.

Lebanon was slightly astonished. He touched his nose and took a sniff, "You don't know me?"

"The way that you're hitting one me is old fashioned. Hah! Too bad, I am married."

Mango lowered her head again, but her tone was somewhat unhappy.

Lebanon touched his nose and smiled while saying, "I am Lebanon."

"I don't care who you are. Get out of here!"

Mango's patience had already reached its limit.

She was still disturbed by the situation between Nathaniel and herself, so she had no intention of dating at all. If someone insisted in doing so, she would not be polite.

Lebanon had originally thought that he would be treated differently just because he told her his name. However, he did not expect Mango to be frustrated. He could not help but startle.

"Hmm... I said, I'm Lebanon."

"Hey! I said, get out of my face! This is simple English, yeah?"

Mango was livid.

Mango totally blew her fuse. Lebanon knew that it would not do him any good if he continued to stay longer. He quickly whispered, "This is my contact number. It's private. Call me whenever you need anything."

Mango did not reply.

Lebanon then left in dejection.

This was the first time he had been so dispirited since he became popular. However, he accepted and bear with it for Mango.

Mango did not even look at the card and threw it directly into the trash can beside her.

She continued to look down at her phone as if nothing had happened just now.

When Rainie came down, she was full of energy.

"Hey! Mango, how long have you been waiting?"

"Nope, I just arrived a while ago."

Mango saw that Rainie had changed completely.

Rainie seemed to have found her own goal in life, and she was glowing with confidence. Mango always knew that Rainie was beautiful, but she looked really different now with makeup. "Hey, girl! Are you in love with my beauty now?"

Rainie boasted.

Mango was affected by Rainie's smile. She hurriedly nodded and said, "Ah! Of course! You're currently the most popular celebrity. How can I say no to you?"

"Haha! Knock it off now. Hmm... by the way, I've got something to tell you."

Rainie picked up the cake that Mango had ordered for her and started stuffing her mouth with it.

"Hey! This cake is too sweet. Think of your throat before eating it."

"Well, I'm all good."

Rainie took a sip of water without thinking of her own image and said, "If this album really comes out, I won't be able to eat heedlessly."

"Yeah, right. Enjoy yourself while you can."

Mango only knew how hard it was to be a celebrity after browsing Twitter.

"Will the music composer help you to release the record?"

"No, I need to look for an external party to help me, but he will hold a press conference first. With his reputation, I think it should not be a problem. By the way, I have told him that I want to sign a contract with your film and television company."

Mango was astonished upon hearing Rainie's words.

"Hmm... Rainie, you know, my company has just been established and can't provide you with too many resources. If you sign with my company, it may hinder your career advancement. Why don't you go look for some established companies?"

Mango was really concerned about Rainie's future.

Rainie waved her hand indifferently and said, "Well... to be exact, you have resources that you can use."

"Nathaniel and I are going to divorce. I don't want to rely on him for everything."

"Then, let's ask Emberly's husband."

Rainie's words caused Mango to be slightly taken aback.

"What do you mean?"

"It's fine if you don't want to look for Nathaniel, but Eugene is powerful here too. You can let Emberly tell him all your requests. Naha! What's more, Emberly is also a shareholder of your company. She should have done something, I think. If you want your company to sustain itself, you can't do it yourself. The entertainment industry is too complicated. Without a strong background, who would dare to sign a contract with you? Nowadays, connections are the most important. Without a connection, your potential will be wasted. Besides, Ares Davis' music is well-known in this industry. Although I dare not say that my album can help your company in gaining popularity, it's always better than nothing."

Upon hearing Rainie's words, Mango understood finally.

That was right. Putting aside her personal issue with Nathaniel, why wouldn't she use such a powerful supporter?

"Okay, I'll go back and ask Clarissa to draft a contract. After all, we're still employer and employee, so I shouldn't take advantage of you."

Mango's words made Rainie laugh.

"What? You taking advantage of me? It's more likely that I take advantage of you. Naha! By the way, there's one thing that needs your help with."

"Spit it out, girl."

"There's a zither player in charge of the recording this afternoon, but he can't join us. What's worse, our schedule is full and we can't look for a qualified zither player right now. I remembered that you're a zither eighth-grader. Can you help us this afternoon?"

Hearing what Rainie said, Mango agreed without any hesitation.

"Sure! No problem at all."

"You're the best. Let's go and take a look at the music score."

Rainie was committed and dragged Mango towards the studio.

"Aren't you going to eat more?"

"I don't want to eat anymore. We managed to invite a big shot to help us with the composition, thanks to Alex. If I'm late, others will gossip about me."

Hearing Rainie's words, Mango also felt that Rainie's life as a celebrity was really hard.

"Alright then, let's go."

Mango and Rainie stood up and went to the recording studio on the fifth floor.

Lebanon did not expect to see Mango in the recording studio. He could not help but feel surprised.

When Ares saw Rainie bring Mango in, he could not help but grimace.

"Rainie, may I know..."

"Oh, Ares. Here's the thing. This is my best friend, Mango Shen, who is also the person in charge of Illimite Entertainment. Isn't our zither player busy this afternoon? My best friend is a grade eight player. I asked her to do us our favour so that everyone doesn't have to find another zither player."

Hearing Rainie's words, Ares breathed a sigh of relief, and his face softened.

"Well, that's great! Ms. Shen, right? Would you like to try to play a song?" Ares was a cautious person.

Mango nodded. She walked up to the zither and put on some finger guards.

After getting familiar with it, Mango casually played 'Bohemian Rhapsody'.

Ares' eyes lit up.

Lebanon did not expect Mango to know how to play the zither. Furthermore, his gaze became increasingly tender when he looked at Mango playing the zither elegantly.

"Superb! Ms. Shen is really versatile. You played it very well! But we have some rules that you should know. If you want to help, you need to sign a contract of confidentiality. After all, our album has not been released yet. Many things need to be kept confidential."

Hearing Ares' words, Rainie quickly responded, "Well, Ares... aren't you looking for a company to release the record? Why don't you sign a contract with Illimite Entertainment? In this way, both of you will benefit from this. Then, she will have to keep it a secret. Right?"

Ares paused and hesitated.

It was the first time he heard about Illimite Entertainment, and he could tell that it was a small company. Although he had always been confident in his own music, he was still afraid that her company would ruin his efforts if their marketing effort

Mango understood Ares' hesitation. At the same time, she also knew that her company was too small to satisfy the music composer. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly heard a familiar male voice.

"Ares, although Illimite Entertainment is a small company, I'm going to sign a contract with them."

Everyone was taken aback by Lebanon's words. Mango shot a glance at Lebanon's face.

Why was this man here?
