Ningxi took the initiative and gave an explanation, clarifying why she had come here.
Even if Cai Minmin was unhappy, she couldn't expose this woman in front of Ma Weimin because Ning Xi had something on her.
"Lost your phone? How could you be so careless? There are a lot of thieves in Beijing. You should be more careful in the future."
"Everything else is fine, but I lost your phone number, which really worried me. You're my only friend in the capital."
When the word "friend" was mentioned, Ningxi's eyes revealed a deeper meaning.
Cai Minmin clenched her fists secretly, determined to find a way to get rid of this time bomb as soon as possible.
“Cai Minmin, since you are friends, I will get straight to the point. I think Ningxi has great potential and I want to sign her as an artist with Fansheng. It just so happens that you are good friends, so you can take care of each other in the company in the future.”
“Mr. Ma, this isn’t right,” Cai Minmin immediately interjected.
Ningxi frowned and glared at her unhappily.
"Minmin..." Her expression revealed her grievance.
Cai Minmin suppressed her anger and looked at Ning Xi with feigned calmness.
"Ningxi, I'm not stopping you from joining the company. I'm just worried about you."
Ningxi sneered inwardly.
Worried? I'm afraid you're worried I'll hinder your wealth.
“Minmin, since you said you wouldn’t let me work at the company, I’ll listen to you. You definitely won’t hurt me. I’ll just go back to working at the bar.”
"How can a bar compare to the Prosperous Group? Minmin, isn't Ningxi your friend? Why are you stopping her from joining Prosperous?"
Cai Minmin took a deep breath: "President Ma, I'm worried about Ningxi. As you know, Bai Qianmo has been keeping a close eye on me lately, just waiting for me to make a mistake. Fansheng has the highest entry requirements in the industry, and all the artists they sign are from professional backgrounds. Ningxi only went to high school and has no acting experience. If you sign her and Bai Qianmo finds out about my relationship with Ningxi, she will definitely use this to target us."
"Hmph, I'm not afraid of her. This Prosperous Media isn't something Bai Qianmo can just decide to do."
Seeing Ma Weimin's efforts to protect Ningxi, Cai Minmin secretly thought that things were going badly.
It was common knowledge that Ma Weimin was a womanizer, and Ning Xi was alluring and charming. She knew perfectly well what Ma Weimin was up to.
"How about this? I heard that Bai Qianmo is organizing a talent show, and the girls who make it into the final group will sign with Prosperous Media."
"You mean you want Ningxi to participate in the talent show?"
"With Ningxi's looks, it won't be a problem for her to stand out from the crowd. As her friend, I will definitely help promote her."
After hearing Cai Minmin's words, Ma Weimin fell silent.
He began to hesitate; in truth, he felt a little guilty for saying he wasn't afraid of Bai Qianmo.
After all, Bai Qianmo is the nominal president of Fansheng, and his own foundation in Fansheng is not yet solid. He would not gain any advantage by going head-to-head with that brat.
If Bai Qianmo really wants to make a fuss about Ningxi, it will be difficult to explain to the Fourth Prince.
“Ningxi, Minmin is right. You should sign up for the talent show first. Once you're in the group, you can legitimately sign with Prosperous Media.”
Ning Xi tightened her lips and looked coldly at Cai Minmin.
You, Cai Minmin, what do you mean by "for my own good"?
This is clearly just a delaying tactic of yours. Hmph, do you really think I can't do anything to you?
"Since Minmin said she wants me to participate in the talent show, I believe she will definitely help me. Right, Minmin?"
Cai Minmin forced a smile: "Of course."
When you?
I wish you would disappear from the capital city completely.
Ma Weimin leered at Ning Xi.
"Ningxi, you must save my phone number. If you need any help in life, just let me know."
Ningxi felt extremely uncomfortable under Ma Weimin's lewd and greasy gaze.
But right now, if she wants to sign with Prosperity, she has to be insincere with Ma Weimin, even if she finds the old man's appearance disgusting, she has to endure the discomfort and try to please him.
However, the older men she met at the bar weren't much better than Ma Weimin.
In order to gain a foothold in the capital, following Ma Weimin is a better choice than trying to please a bunch of ugly men.
Having figured this out, Ningxi revealed a charming smile.
Her alluring eyes kept flashing at Ma Weimin.
"Mr. Ma, don't worry, I'll memorize your phone number right away. I'll make sure I know it by heart."
Ma Weimin felt a tickle on his heart as Ning Xi gently touched him, like a feather brushing against his heart.
"Then you should keep in touch with me more often."
"If you don't mind the trouble, I can contact you every day, okay?"
"I'm overjoyed that a beauty like you is bothering me."
"Ahem..." Cai Minmin coughed awkwardly.
If she doesn't say anything, the two of them might just start a passionate affair right there in front of her makeup artist.
"Mr. Ma, I'd like to have a private talk with Ningxi for a while."
Ma Weimin lingered for a while longer on Ning Xi's sexy and voluptuous figure before finally getting up to leave.
Only Cai Minmin and Ning Xi remained among the makeup artists.
Cai Minmin sat in front of the dressing table, her arms crossed over her chest, her expression suddenly turning cold.
"Ningxi, what do you want from me to leave my life?"
What she hates most is being threatened.
Especially that most shameful thing from the past, a taboo she never wants to mention again.
But just when she was about to embark on a bright future, she encountered the very person she least wanted to meet.
Ningxi also changed her previous docile demeanor and went straight to sit down at the dressing table next to Cai Minmin.
He crossed his legs, took out a lighter and cigarette case from his crossbody bag, and skillfully lit a cigarette.
He gently tucked it between his fingers and took a sip.
He exhaled a puff of smoke and handed the cigarette pack and lighter to Cai Minmin with a mocking look in his eyes.
"Want one?"
I don't smoke.
"Heh, don't try to put on airs in front of me. I've been a smoker for over ten years, I don't believe you can quit!"
Cai Minmin's eyes flashed coldly.
"Enough with the nonsense, name your terms. How much money would it take for you to leave the capital?"
Ningxi flicked off the ash, slightly raised her chin, and took another puff with a dazed look in her eyes.
"I already told you my terms."
Cai Minmin frowned and stared at her.
"As I've said before, this industry isn't as easy as you think. You became an artist to make money, right? I've saved up some money now. If you're willing to leave Beijing, I can give you all the money I have. You can take that money back to your hometown, and it'll be enough for you to live a peaceful life."
She's been working hard lately, taking on endorsements and appearing on variety shows, and has already saved over three million yuan.
Although I feel bad about spending the money, the thought of finally getting rid of Ningxi, this nightmare, is very appealing.
Consider it money spent to avoid trouble.
