The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 964

"Hey, we meet again, Ms. Shen."

Lebanon greeted Mango casually. However, Mango's expression was awkward.

"Who are you again?"

As soon as she asked, Rainie immediately pulled Mango towards herself.

"He is Lebanon!"

There were glints appearing in Rainie's eyes. She liked to watch Lebanon on TV. However, she did not expect to see him in person here. Mango had just wanted to ask who Lebanon was. However, she suddenly remembered something and looked at him in surprise.

Lebanon finally felt better due to Mango's gaze.

"Ms. Shen, my assistant, Alfred, contacted you before."

After hearing Lebanon's words, Mango did not say anything else.

When Ares heard that Lebanon was going to join Illimite Entertainment, he was astounded.

"Lebanon, are you sure?" "Yes, I think Ms. Shen is capable enough to lead

Illimite Entertainment. I'm sure that they will become the top company in the entertainment industry. So I decided to sign with them earlier. Otherwise, there might be no place for me later. Hah!" Lebanon said his words half-jokingly, making Ares feel puzzled, but he also scrutinized Mango carefully. Then, Ares smiled, "Right, since Lebanon can vouch for your ability, then I'll trust you. Well, Ms. Shen, let's sign the contract first, and then I hope that you can play the zither well for us, ay?"

"Sure, no problem!"

Mango had no reason to reject the offer that benefited her company.

She took a glance at Lebanon and found that he was also looking at her. However, his gaze made her somewhat unhappy.

Mango, Rainie, and Ares signed their contracts respectively. Then, they began to focus on recording.

Mango knew about Lebanon's popularity. Even though Lebanon was only a cameo in this album, this album would still be popular.

This was a lyrical song. After Mango familiarized herself with the stave, she began to play it earnestly.

No one knew when Lebanon sat opposite of her and watched Mango attentively. He even followed the music and hit some beats. In fact, He seemed to be engrossed in it.

Without their knowledge, a staff took a photo of this scene and posted it online.

The online netizens were discussing this picture!

Sweetkristy: "F*ck, what did I see? Is my prince charming is looking at the female performer affectionately? Who is the woman?"

Bubblybaby: "No way? Is my Prince Charming in love? Who is she?"

"Yeah, who is she?"

10086 Internet users wanted to know who Mango was.

For a moment, the entire Internet was investigating Mango's background.

Ned saw the news at once and then, he told Nathaniel.

"Mr. Ye, a lot of people want to know who Mrs. Ye is."

Nathaniel narrowed his eyes.

"What do you mean?"

Ned quickly showed Nathaniel what happened on Twitter. The issue had been ranked first among other trending topics.

Nathaniel glared at Lebanon in the video. He felt like dismembering Lebanon right now!

"I don't want to see this video on trending topics."

Ned said with a tinge of embarrassment, "Lebanon is an A-lister with a lot of fans, and he has never had any rumors. He has always been a good person. So once this matter is exposed, it will probably cause a big impact on Mrs. Ye."

"Get Desmond to send more people to protect Mango. Give Lebanon a warning too. Also, tell our HR department to release the news that we're selecting a new batch of air stewardesses from the public." Ned understood Nathaniel's words immediately.

The public relations department of HY Group began to carry out his orders urgently.

Instantly, the news that HY Group was going to select the air stewardesses from the public spread like wildfire on the Internet.

"Holy moly! Did HY Group finally think about the public? Wow! Are they going to recruit air stewardesses from the public? I'm gonna try!"

"Me too! I heard that HY Group has a lot of benefits. Joining them means stepping into the coterie of the nobles."

The latest news from HY Group finally stood as the first trending topic on Twitter.

Looking at the trending topics, Alfred was shocked. He phoned Lebanon immediately. Lebanon did not expect the video in the recording studio to be published. He grimaced. Ares noticed the change in Lebanon's temperament and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong?" "Ares, you need to check on your team. They aren't that good."

Lebanon allowed Ares to take a look at what happened on Twitter. Ares was shocked.

Who was Lebanon?

During these years, Lebanon did not have any rumours. Of course, he was a star with a good attitude. However, the most important thing was that Lebanon's background was a mystery. Now that Lebanon was angry, not everyone had the courage and the ability to bear the rage.

"I'll handle it right away."

Lebanon did not say anything. He immediately let Alfred to clarify the incident and used a breaking news of a celebrity to divert the public's attention.

While Alfred was busy, Lebanon received a call from Nathaniel.

"Hey! I don't care what you want to do. If you want to get close to Mango for any reason, you'd better give up and stay away from her. Otherwise, don't blame me for being unreasonable." Nathaniel's words were disrespectful, and Lebanon was stunned as he wasn't used to having someone speak to him this way.

"Nathaniel?"

"Yes."

"Do you know why I'm approaching Mango?"

Lebanon had already guessed something from Nathaniel's tone.

Nathaniel's voice was as cold as ice.

"That doesn't matter. Mango is living a peaceful life, so you better not try to ruin her current situation. I'm warning you now, Lebanon. Others may not know about your background, but I do. Think twice before approaching her. I'm not sure whether you can handle the consequences of your actions. Hah!"

After saying that, Nathaniel hung up the phone.

Lebanon looked in the direction of Mango and frowned slightly.

Mango did not know what had happened. She only saw Ares asking everyone to stop working for a moment. Plus, Ahe had put on a brooding expression.

She thought there was something wrong with her play, so she quickly thought about it and found out that she had made no mistakes.

Rainie looked at them in confusion before shaking her head at Mango.

Ares gathered all the people and said softly, "I don't care how you got this job, but it's best to keep our job confidential in my team. I remember everyone had signed the non- disclosure agreement. Who release the video today? If you admit it, we can discuss it quietly."

Mango knew that something had happened the moment he said these words.

She quickly took out her mobile phone and checked Twitter.

However, the news of HY Group and Alfred's clarification trended all over Twitter now. Meanwhile, the video of Lebanon

staring affectionately at Mango was only ranked seventh on the trending topics.

Mango clicked on the video and watched it. Then, her eyes darkened.

Why did Lebanon stare at her like this?

Did he want Mango to get famous too?

Mango glared at Lebanon, but he put on an innocent look.

He touched his nose and did not dare to say anything.

Mango was not happy at all. When Rainie saw it, she instantly flared up.

"Hey! Who was it? It's the first time that Mango's here, and she didn't offend anyone. Why did you release such a video? Huh?"

Mango grabbed Rainie, who was enraged.

HY Group rarely posted on Twitter. Therefore, it was obvious that Nathaniel was the one who had released the news that they were recruiting stewardesses from the public. He had changed his original plan because of this incident.

However, with Nathaniel's intervention, this trending video would be suppressed sooner or later. Perhaps, it would even disappear from the internet soon. Anyway, Mango still wanted to vent her anger.

"I joined a team for the first time today. If I have offended anyone, I hope that all of you can be magnanimous as I've never been part of this industry previously. Even though I started an entertainment company I will only work behind the scenes, so I'm not someone worth targeting. Hence, no matter who did this, I can forgive you for today's incident. However, there will be no second chance for you if this happens again. I'm not a toy!"

After that, Mango looked at Lebanon again.

Lebanon knew that he was innocent!

He responded quickly, "Uh... I really don't mean anything else. I just remembered that you look like an old friend of mine when you play the zither, and that's why I've been watching you more attentively than anyone else. I am not into you. I swear it!"

When Ares heard Lebanon's words, he said, "Ms. Shen can forgive you, but I have to find the culprit. Otherwise, this team will have to dissolve."

Just then, Mango's phone had a notification.

Mango looked at her phone and saw that it was from Nathaniel.

It was the information of the one who posted the video online, and it consisted of the culprit's phone model and contact number.

Mango looked around and saw no one stand up. There was a woman who was being evasive. At this point, Mango already had some thoughts in her mind.

"Ares, tell me who does this phone model belong to. I believe you can handle this matter."

Mango sent Ares the information that Nathaniel had given her.

Ares was very surprised that she could find out the one who was behind the incident.

At the same time, all the news about this video on the Internet disappeared without a trace.

Ares glanced at Mango.

At first, when Rainie proposed to sign the contract with Mango, Ares was still very unhappy. He even felt that Mango was taking advantage of his album to boost her own popularity. However, after today's incident, Ares understood that Mango's supporter was someone too powerful that he could not mess with.

How could a newbie in this industry react so timely?

Ares made a prompt decision and immediately dragged the woman who posted the video out.

She was in her early twenties, and she was part of the ensemble. In fact, when she was dragged out, she still could not believe that people had found out about it!

Mango did not say anything. Instead, she lowered her head and continued to look at the stave. However, Ares was slightly enraged.

"Cecelia Tang, what in the h*ll are you doing?"

"Urgh! I just can't watch her replace Pinksy Mogul like that."

Cecelia looked at Mango and knew that she could not escape. Although she was confused, she still pointed at Mango angrily.

Mango's mind went blank.

Who was Pinksy?

When Rainie saw Mango's expression, she immediately sighed, "Pinksy is the person who was going to play the zither for us. However, she couldn't make it because of some personal issues." Mango immediately understood.

It seems that she had Cecilia someone jealous because she had replaced Pinksy?

Before Mango could say anything, Cecelia suddenly turned around and grabbed the erhu beside her before poking it at Mango's face.
