Jun Shiling raised an eyebrow. Although he knew that he was prying into Xia Wanyuan’s privacy, he could not help but click on the WeChat message.
The profile picture of this person named Qin Wu was that of a gentle and sunny man.
Looking at the message asking Xia Wanyuan to go for a meal, Jun Shiling pursed his lips and his eyes darkened.
“Who is Qin Wu?”
Lin Jing was about to leave when Jun Shiling suddenly stopped him.
It had to be said that Assistant Lin’s salary of nearly ten million dollars a year was not for nothing.
Facing Jun Shiling’s sudden question, Lin Jing went through it in his mind before quickly locking onto a document he had checked before.
“Qin Wu is a relatively well-known actor, and he’s also the male lead in the production of the Long Ballad with Madam.”
“Got it. You may leave.”
“Okay.” As long as Jun Shiling did not continue asking, Lin Jing would definitely not ask what his superior was thinking.
Jun Shiling switched off his phone and sat at the table to eat.
Qin Wu thought about it for a long time before finally using the excuse of the production team’s announcement to send Xia Wanyuan a WeChat message. However, Xia Wanyuan did not reply for a long time, so Qin Wu sent another message.
“Wanyuan, are you busy?”
His phone vibrated, and Jun Shiling glanced at it. Wanyuan? He sounded quite intimate.
There was no more message from his phone. Only Jun Shiling’s quiet chewing could be heard in the office.
“Xiao Xia, um, you need to come to the company for a while.” After leaving the Xia family’s company, Xia Wanyuan was about to return to the manor when she received a call from Chen Yun.
Xia Wanyuan arrived at the building where Creating Star Entertainment was located. It was a building with an extremely modern architectural style.
Unlike the strictness of the Jun Corporation, Star Creation Entertainment had electronic posters of its celebrities everywhere. Once they entered the hall, they saw brief introductions of their celebrities everywhere.
“Hey, isn’t this our little princess? Tsk, the little princess took time out of her busy schedule to come to the company today. The sun is rising from the west today.”
Xia Wanyuan was waiting for the elevator and reading the artist’s introduction on the wall when she suddenly heard a female voice with obvious hostility.
Xia Wanyuan turned around and saw an extremely beautiful woman. Beside her were two other similarly dressed women.
The poster of the person in front of her was hung on the wall. Xia Wanyuan recognized it immediately. This person belonged to the same company as the original owner of the body and was also considered a new popular starlet, Xie Rou.
]A beautiful woman would always have an extremely sensitive feeling towards another beautiful woman. Xie Rou didn’t feel it when Xia Wanyuan was standing there just now.
But when Xia Wanyuan turned her head just now, that pair of eyes that were like the mountains after the rain startled her subconsciously. Didn’t I hear that something had happened to Xia Wanyuan’s family? Why did I feel that this person was getting more and more beautiful?
Looking at Xia Wanyuan’s flawless skin, jealousy flashed across Xie Rou’s eyes.
“Hey, why are you ignoring me?” Based on Xia Wanyuan’s character in the past, she would explode at the slightest provocation. How could she not react after being ridiculed like this today?
“I only care about people.” Xia Wanyuan turned a deaf ear to Xie Rou’s constant provocations. Only when the elevator reached the 16th floor did Xia Wanyuan leave the elevator.
????
“What does she mean?” Xie Rou thought for a long time but still didn’t understand what Xia Wanyuan meant.
Meanwhile, the two celebrities beside her had already understood what she meant. They lowered their heads and secretly mocked Xie Rou.
It was not until they reached the office that Xie Rou reacted. “This little b*tch scolded me??”
No matter how angry Xie Rou was, it had nothing to do with Xia Wanyuan.
“Xiao Xia, you have to be considerate of the company’s difficulties, right? You can’t get a role here, the company can’t support you for nothing.”
Supervisor Jin glanced at Xia Wanyuan’s flawless face and felt a little regretful. This Xia Wanyuan was quite good-looking, but unfortunately, she could not be popular.
In the past, he could still raise her in the company and let her mess around because her family had donated funds. But now that the Xia family had stopped investing funds, he could not continue to support her for nothing.
“Then what do you need me to do?”
From the moment she entered the office, Xia Wanyuan had been quietly listening to Supervisor Jin. After understanding Supervisor Jin’s personality and his basic intentions for coming, Xia Wanyuan finally spoke.
“The company won’t be able to accept any script endorsements, so you’ll have to recommend yourself to the investors and directors.” Supervisor Jin grinned. “If you can get resources, the company will definitely do its best to nurture you.”
“Self-recommendation?”
Xia Wanyuan was still not too familiar with the rules of the entertainment industry and was somewhat puzzled.
“There’s going to be an investor’s dinner later. Come with me. If the investor thinks that you have the potential to invest, you won’t have to worry about film resources and endorsements in the future.”
As soon as Supervisor Jin finished speaking, coldness flashed across Xia Wanyuan’s eyes. For a moment, Supervisor Jin felt a fatal coldness from Xia Wanyuan. When he looked at Xia Wanyuan again in a daze, he realized that she had returned to normal.
“Okay, thank you, Supervisor Jin.”
The corners of Xia Wanyuan’s red lips curled up slightly, making her look breathtaking.
Seeing how sensible Xia Wanyuan was and how beautiful she was, Supervisor Jin was in a good mood. It seemed like the investment this time was stable.
Supervisor Jin brought Xia Wanyuan to an extremely luxurious KTV in Beijing. Although it was called a KTV, it was actually an entertainment venue that integrated all kinds of entertainment and games. It was extremely luxurious, so the people who came were either rich or noble.
“Hey, that woman is really something.”
Bo Xiao was drinking coffee by the window without interest when his friend suddenly exclaimed.
Bo Xiao pursed his lips. “Whoever you see is the best.” No one could compare to his sister-in-law in terms of beauty.
“No, I swear. Look!” His friend pulled Bo Xiao towards the door. Bo Xiao looked over reluctantly and was stunned.
“Look, don’t you think she’s especially pretty? Sigh, such a beautiful person can go anywhere with a lot of money. Why is she so stupid to be an escort?” His friend mumbled regretfully.
“What escort?” Bo Xiao was puzzled. Why was Xia Wanyuan here? And what did my friend mean by escort?
“The one beside her is Supervisor Jin from Star Creation Entertainment. I know him. He specializes in getting investors to drink with her artistes. His reputation in the industry is pretty bad. It’s a pity for this beauty.”
Seeing that Bo Xiao kept staring at the woman beside Supervisor Jin, his good friend thought that Bo Xiao had taken a fancy to that beauty. “Hey, if you like her, I’ll give you Supervisor Jin’s contact number another day. This lady is indeed of the highest quality. Even I…”
“If you want to live for a few more days, shut your mouth.” Seeing his friend getting more and more ridiculous, Bo Xiao scolded him.
Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had entered the elevator with Supervisor Jin, Bo Xiao felt that something was wrong, so he called Jun Shiling.
