The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 971

What did that mean?

Was this Nathaniel's idea?

Mango was feeling dismayed. However, since everyone was thanking her happily, it seemed useless to say anything now.

She smiled and shared the fruits.

As the saying goes, gifts blinded the eyes of the wise. The crew's attitude towards Mango became much better because of this matter.

Rainie walked over and nudged Mango with her elbow. "Woah! I didn't expect your husband to be so good at handling human relationships. He was afraid that you would be ostracized in the team, right? I ever thought that Nathaniel was an idiot yesterday. He did not even try to win over the team as this was your first job after a while! Well... I didn't expect to see something like this. Haha! It looks like you did a good job on educating him well last night!"

Mango did not know how to respond to Rainie's teasing words.

"I'm going to call someone."

Before Mango went out, another group of people led by Ned came into the room.

"Mrs. Ye, Mr. Ye asked me to bring all of you some food and change the entire equipment for the team."

Mango was startled when she heard these words.

"Food? Didn't you just give us some fruits?"

Mango did not dare to ask loudly. She could only lower her voice and ask.

Ned was dumbfounded and said, "No, Mr. Ye just asked me to send these. The music equipment is all outside, and I'll get someone to send them into soon." Mango was confused.

The fruits just now were not from Nathaniel. So, who would gift those fruits using her name?

Ned looked at Mango in confusion while waiting for her next instructions.

Mango felt awkward if they stood here for too long, so she quickly made way for Ned.

Ned walked in and said with a smile, "This is what Mrs. Ye would like to give all of you. In addition, she changed all the music equipment for the team. Please feel free to time them out and pick the instruments you prefer."

When Nathaniel asked Ned how he could help Mango, Ned came up with this idea.

Not many people knew that Mango's zither had been broken, but Nathaniel was a computer expert. He wanted to see if someone had bullied his wife, so he hacked the surveillance video in the recording studio. However, what he did not expect was to see someone cutting off Mango's zither on purpose. At that time, he was enraged, and he felt like killing the person. However, Ned said that it would draw more hatred towards Mango. Hence, it was better to win people's hearts by friendship.

Anyhow, Nathaniel was rich enough to afford this.

He thought that this was a good idea. As long as Mango could be in the production team happily, he did not care about spending too much money. Thus, he ordered Ned to send the new facilities and food to them.

Everyone in Ares' team was an avid music lover. They did not pay much attention to food, but they cared a lot about the musical instruments.

These musical instruments sent by Nathaniel were obviously high-end. Therefore, all the crews in Ares' team were excited when they saw these.

When Mango came in with her costly zither today, they felt that they had been humiliated as they thought that she was trying to show off her wealth. However, they knew that they all had high-end instruments now, and this was like a dream

come true!

"Ms. Shen, how... how can you be so generous?"

Ares was stuttering.

Although Ares was a well-known music composer in the industry, he did not earn much. Moreover, he had a brother who was going through brain paralysis now. Thus, he had used his hard-earned money so many years to treat his brother.

Even if he wanted to buy some valuable instruments for the team, he could not afford to do so.

Mango's gifts had indeed taken care of this urgent problem. After all, some musical instruments had already reached their limit and could not function well.

The rest of the team had followed Ares for a long time. Naturally, they knew Ares' financial predicament. However, they were also short of money as they could not raise any funds. Hence, they put off their plans to upgrade their music equipment. Now, they did not expect this problem to be directly solved by Mango.

Even those who hated Mango before were now expressing gratitude for her support.

Thus, Ares' team wanted to release Rainie's album for sale as soon as possible to earn some money so that they could replace some useless

equipment.

"Ms. Shen, I'm sorry because I was narrowminded. Actually, I cut off your zither strings yesterday. Pinksy, Cecelia, and I have been together all along. We've never been apart, even during the most difficult times. Now that you suddenly came in, we felt very uncomfortable. Thus, we were too bias because you cause Cecilia to be fired. I'm sorry..."

He was a crew in the lighting team that she had never noticed, Vincent Torres.

Mango would have never thought that he was the one who had cut the strings of her zither.

She was confounded for a moment, but she continued with a smile, "Don't you know there is a CCTV here?"

"What?"

Vincent was startled.

Mango could tell that he did not know about the CCTV after looking at his expression.

Mango laughed suddenly.

"I don't know what kind of feelings you guys have for each other, but I know that my feelings for Rainie are the same as yours. I hope that she can be popular in the shortest time possible and outshine everyone else in the industry. That's why I came to help. I understand why you guys ostracize me and dislike me, but I don't take such small matters to heart. However, I can't undo what I've done to Cecilia. We're all adults and need to be responsible for our actions, right? Plus, I've already contacted Pinksy. When she's done with her own business, she'll come back to the team. When the time comes, I'll leave. Haha! I hope that everyone won't miss me too much."

After Mango finished speaking, everyone was surprised.

"Ms. Shen, you went to look for Pinksy?"

"Yeah, Pinksy and I have reached a consensus."

Mango gave them a mischievous smile.

Now, the members of the team were all blushing from embarrassment.

They had ignored Mango all these while, yet she still treated them with magnanimity. In fact, she had even thought about Pinksy. They were simply ashamed of themselves!

Ares knew what they were thinking from their expressions.

He sighed, "Ms. Shen, I'm sorry that you have to see that. Alas! It's my fault for not managing the team well. I apologize on their behalf as well."

"Ares, don't say that! I'm experiencing life now, so let's forget about it. Why don't you all trying tuning the instruments now? After all, with a talented music composer like you, we need high-end instruments too! Well, think about this as me investing in Rainie. After all, she does not have a powerful supporter, so this is all I can do for her."

Mango's words warmed Rainie's heart.

The only person that would care and do so much for her in this world was Mango.

She knew that the cost of the music equipment today would be a little too much for Mango, but the latter still did it for her sake.

Rainie walked over and hugged Mango. She whispered, "I'm the luckiest person on earth to have a friend like you."

"Haha! Don't say that! This isn't from me. Nathaniel sponsored it."

Mango patted Rainie's back as she spoke in a soft voice. Mango was afraid that Rainie would be pressured by this action. However, Rainie knew that without Mango, Nathaniel would definitely not sponsor her team.

Of course, she felt that there was no need to say these words out loud.

Ares' team happily went to pick their own musical instruments.

Mango was clouded with doubts.

If Nathaniel only sent them the music equipment, then who was the person who sent the fruits in her name?

Mango could not figure it out after thinking for a while.

She put this issue aside and began to tune the instruments together with everyone else. Then, all of them began to play some music.

Now that their music equipment was upgraded, everyone was excited to try them out. Hence, their performance also improved greatly. When Ares saw this, he could not help but glance gratefully at Mango.

Time flew.

After Mango finished playing, she left the team with Rainie.

Rainie wanted to hang out with Mango, but she met Lebanon's agent, Alfred.

"Ms. Shen, can I talk with you?"

Alfred's sudden appearance stunned Mango. On the other hand, Rainie was worried.

"What are you guys trying to do? I'm warning you to stay away from Mango! She's not from the entertainment industry, so she

can't afford Lebanon's repeated visits. Moreover, we don't even know if there's any paparazzi nearby. When that happens, Mango will be scolded on the internet for no reason. We won't be able to get out of the situation so easily anymore..."

Rainie was always showing her true self. She would always rush in front of Mango and protect Mango from everything evil.

Mango's heart felt warm.

She pulled Rainie to the side before looking at Alfred said, "I'm sorry. I don't think I can agree with anything that you say. I know Lebanon is a bigshot but I'm sorry, Illimite

Entertainment can't accommodate such an influential artist now."

Alfred spoke with an unpleasant tone with her downcast eyes.

"Ms. Shen, do you really think that Lebanon only chose your company? What is there in your company, huh? Haha! When he wanted to join your company, it was a blessing for you! Now, you didn't cherish this opportunity, and you offended him instead! What?! Do you know what the are consequences of offending us?"

She was obviously threatening Mango.

Rainie exploded with rage.

"Oh my god! I've never seen anyone as shameless as you. What now, huh? Do we have to follow everything you say? Hey! This is a form of coercion! We don't give a sh*t about who you are! Besides, how do you know that no one is supporting Illimite Entertainment?

After all, due to the conflict between Mango and Nathaniel, Mango had paid for all the capital and the other resources that the company needed. Furthermore, she had also kept a low profile while establishing Illimite

Entertainment. So, not many people knew that she was actually Nathaniel's wife. However, Mango and Rainie did not expect that Alfred would threaten her.

Mango pulled Rainie to herself as she felt that she had nothing to say to Alfred. In fact, she was glad that she had not signed the contract with Lebanon. Alfred said coldly, "Hah! Why didn't your so-called 'supporter' deal with the other crew members? In fact, why did you need Lebanon to send imported fruits to help you out?"

Mango and Rainie were astounded after hearing those words!
