97 Olive Branch
◎The girlfriend of Qin's boss◎
She looks stunning before and after makeup, and has great plasticity. She is simply born to do this.
Wang Xue came to a conclusion in her mind, her smile growing even more cordial and welcoming. She took out her pre-prepared business card and handed it over. Without further ado, she got straight to the point: "Ms. Song, I felt a strong chemistry with you the moment I saw you. We at Dragon Star Entertainment are desperate for new faces right now. If you're interested, please come and chat when you're free."
Hearing this, Song Shixi's gaze shifted downwards, landing on the gold-rimmed business card in Wang Xue's hand. The four large characters "Longxing Entertainment" stood out particularly brightly. This was also the reality. Not only did it produce two of Hong Kong's most popular singers and one singing queen, it also had countless famous and talented stars like Zeng Shuyi under its banner, and it was currently at the peak of its popularity.
Faced with such an olive branch, no one would remain unmoved.
However, Song Shixi knew that the stars under Longxing Entertainment seemed to have a glamorous life on the surface, but they were actually being exploited in various ways behind the scenes. Once they signed the contract, it would be for twenty years, and they had to unconditionally cooperate with the company's work arrangements during the period. If they wanted to terminate the contract early, they had to pay a sky-high compensation.
These were later revealed by a superstar during a contract termination lawsuit with Longxing Entertainment. It caused a huge uproar at the time and everyone knew about it.
There's no freedom, and the money you earn has to be shared with the company at an extremely unreasonable ratio...
Song Shixi is not lucky enough to enjoy such overwhelming "wealth", but what she thinks in her heart is one thing, and what she should do is another. Wang Xue is from Longxing Entertainment and has a strong background, while she is just a rising model. Of course, she can't slap him in the face like this, otherwise if she is deliberately framed later, she will not know how she died.
So she smiled, stretched out her hand to take the business card, and then pretended to be surprised and said, "I've heard of Longxing Entertainment for a long time. I didn't expect to meet you, Miss Wang, today."
Wang Xue also laughed: "If I had known that there was a pearl like Miss Song in Shenzhen, I would have come here a long time ago, and I wouldn't have wasted so much time."
"I can't say she's a pearl. I feel a little embarrassed by Miss Wang's praise."
Song Shixi's smile didn't reach his eyes. Then, seeing that the time was almost up, he was too lazy to continue to flatter her, so he said, "Ms. Wang, I wanted to talk to you more, but we have important things to deal with later..."
Wang Xue is not a fool. Song Shixi seemed to have said a lot of good things about Long Xing, but none of his words hit the point. But she couldn't find any fault with him, and thinking of the other party's identity, she could only swallow this soft nail.
"Okay, then you guys get busy."
After saying that, as if she just remembered something, she turned to look at Yu Wan, who had been silent beside her, and said with a hint of apology, "By the way, Miss Yu, do you still remember that you worked with our Shuyi before? There was a little misunderstanding at that time?"
Hearing this, Yu Wan suddenly raised her head. How could she forget?
What Wang Xue said was just a small misunderstanding ruined her career and future, and brought her countless days and nights of pain.
During that time, her mind was full of this matter, and she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
But now Wang Xue can mention it as if nothing happened, and want to erase all of this with just a few words?
Yu Wan looked at the other party's superficial guilt and slowly clenched her palm into a fist. She didn't know why Wang Xue or Zeng Shuyi suddenly brought up the old matter again, or even took the initiative to offer a way to make peace. No, it can't be called a peacemaking. Their words and deeds all wanted her to understand something, so that they could all put the matter behind them without any pain.
Why?
She didn't respond, the atmosphere became visibly quiet, and Wang Xue's face turned ugly.
"I don't quite remember."
Hearing this answer, Wang Xue's eyes circled around Yu Wan. She had been in good form for two consecutive rounds, and it wasn't impossible for her to win the championship. Making a friend was always better than having more enemies, so she reluctantly extended her hand and said, "I hope we can have the opportunity to work together again."
Yu Wan swept away her previous coldness and shook Wang Xue's hand with a smile on her face.
The three of them separated, and only after they walked out of the door did Song Shixi reach out and pat Yu Wan's shoulder, asking with concern, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Yu Wan's strong back gradually bent down, and she pursed her lips. "Every failure makes you wiser. People always need to grow."
Fighting Wang Xue head-on was a way to vent my anger, but what would happen next? Would she start all over again?
Moreover, what Wang Xue meant was the same as what Zeng Shuyi meant. She obviously didn't intend to make things difficult for her, so why should she ask for trouble?
Things may change over time, but one day she will stand on the top of the mountain and repay all the grievances she has suffered now!
Thinking of this, Yu Wan straightened her back again, her eyes determined, "I'm going back to practice and prepare for the finals!"
"come on."
Seeing that Yu Wan did not get into a dead end, Song Shixi breathed a sigh of relief. Sometimes the workplace is so cruel. Only by advancing and retreating in moderation can one last long. If one rushes forward blindly, he will only get a bloody head.
"See you then." Yu Wan waved to Song Shixi, then left with Deng Boang who was waiting not far away.

At the same time, in a lounge inside the clubhouse, Zeng Shuyi paced back and forth in the open space, her high heels making a clattering sound. Finally, she suddenly stopped, leaned close to Zhong Meiyin's ear in disbelief, and asked sternly, "Is that Song Shixi really the girlfriend of the Qin Group's boss?"
Just now during the competition, she recognized the makeup artist who had been against her at a glance, and was about to give him a low score without thinking, but was stopped by Zhong Meiyin. At that time, she only said one sentence in her ear, which changed her mind.
"Sister Shuyi, the female model next to her is the girlfriend of the Qin Group's big boss."
Her first reaction was disbelief, but she also felt that Zhong Meiyin had no reason to lie to her, and she didn't have the courage to lie in front of her, so even though she found it unbelievable, she suppressed her anger and gave it a high score.
Even after the competition, she got the exact answer from Zhong Meiyin, but she still couldn't help but confirm it again and again.
Because this is really incredible!
That was Qin Yue, the big boss of the Qin Corporation. Zeng Shuyi couldn't even remember how many female celebrities their company had sent to try out for him over the years, only to return empty-handed. This man was well-known in the industry for being difficult to deal with.
I thought he looked down on people in his circle and only liked the noble and elegant daughters of wealthy families who also came from celebrity backgrounds.
But now Zhong Meinyin told her that Qin Yue, like a playboy and a nouveau riche, had found a second-rate 18th-tier model. How could she accept this?
"Um."
Zhong Meiyin was also unwilling to believe it, but she saw it with her own eyes, how could it be wrong?
"Oh."
Zhong Meiyin caught a glimpse of the disdain in Zeng Shuyi's eyes and quickly added, "She is Mr. Qin's official girlfriend, acknowledged by him personally."
As he spoke, a hint of sourness appeared in his tone.
Zeng Shuyi was stunned at first when she heard Zhong Meiyin's implication, and then she couldn't help but tighten her grip on the cup in her hand. "Isn't she just a little prettier? What's so great about that?"
"Sister Shuyi, that woman is not someone you can easily mess with. I never got away with anything good from her. Besides, President Qin protected her. She even dared to hit Brother Minchi. It's best not to provoke her." Scenes flashed through Zhong Meinyin's mind, and finally stopped at the bloody scene she saw on the cruise ship. She couldn't help but shudder, and her hands shook with fear.
Thinking of Liang Minchi, Zhong Meiyin reminded him softly: "Brother Minchi is still lying in the hospital..."
Hearing this, Zeng Shuyi swallowed unconsciously. She had a friend who accompanied her to the Liang family's birthday party that day as a female companion. She witnessed with her own eyes how Liang Minchi broke his leg. When she came back and told her about it, she still hasn't recovered from the shock.
Qin Yue is a really cruel person.
Zeng Shuyi's back was almost covered in cold sweat, and her mind became much clearer. "I know."
She would only pick a fight with Song Shixi if she was tired of living.
This woman cannot be offended. On the contrary, you should make friends with her if possible.
Thinking of this, Zeng Shuyi frowned, "Why hasn't Sister Wang come back yet?"
Speak of the devil, the next second there was a knock on the door, and then Wang Xue appeared at the door. Zeng Shuyi immediately stepped forward and asked, "Is it done?"
"Yes." Wang Xue nodded, "But Miss Song has no intention of signing with Long Xing."
"She has the Qin Group behind her, so it's normal that she didn't sign." Zeng Shuyi didn't care much, and then said, "How did that makeup artist surnamed Yu get in touch with Song Shixi? If I had known earlier, I would have..."
But it has already happened, and there is no point in saying more now.
"I don't know, but I've asked someone to check it out." Wang Xue was also puzzled. If the Qin family wanted to promote someone, what resources would they not have?
Even if he wanted to build his foundation step by step by participating in competitions, what kind of makeup artist could he not find? Why did he choose to team up with Yu Wan?
“I really don’t understand what this means.”
Zeng Shuyi is now extremely terrified and only hopes that Song Shixi and Yu Wan are simply partners and not mixed with any other feelings.
Song Shixi didn't know that she had been speculated about over and over again. She was quickening her pace towards the parking lot. Qin Yue promised her yesterday that he would pick her up. She had already wasted a lot of time in the club and didn't want to waste time dawdling on the road.
The most important thing is that she wants to see him as soon as possible.
