Leng Yue learned for the first time what it meant to have someone bring her a pillow when she was sleepy.
Leng Yugang had just said he wanted to be a star when Geng Le came to visit again that very evening.
However, one should still maintain a certain level of composure. After all, you can't force a sale!
Leng Yue asked calmly, "Mr. Geng, is there anything I can help you with?"
Geng chuckled: "Yes, I'd like to talk to you."
Leng Yue raised an eyebrow. "With me? Not Xiao Yu?"
Geng Le: "You're not going to invite me in? Then we can talk at Old Li's house."
Leng Yue: "Is Teacher Li home?"
Geng Le: "Look at what you're saying. Do you think I'd eat you if Old Li wasn't here?"
Leng Yue: "Let's talk in this corridor then, it's fine."
"You little rascal, why are you so wary of people! Aren't you afraid of getting mosquitoes here?" Geng Le shook his head helplessly. "Old Li is home, he knows I'm coming to see you."
Ignoring him, Leng Yue happened to see that Li Qi's door was open, so she walked over and shouted, "Teacher Li?"
Li Qi happened to be reading in the living room when he heard someone call him. He habitually replied, "Come in."
Li Qi realized he wasn't at school and wondered who would be looking for him. He looked up and saw Leng Yue smiling at him.
"Leng Yue? Come and sit down. Didn't Lao Geng come looking for you? Where is he?" Li Qi smiled and invited Leng Yue to eat some fruit.
Leng Yue didn't move, waiting for Geng Le.
"You little rascal, you really are..." Geng Le shook her head, plopped down on the sofa, and picked up a slice of watermelon to eat without any regard for appearances.
"It's so hot! This girl is really something!" Geng Le finished eating a slice of watermelon before telling Li Qi what had just happened, and Li Qi nodded approvingly.
"Leng Yue, you did the right thing. That's how it should be. Girls should always protect themselves, no matter what." Li Qi completely ignored Geng Le's resentful gaze.
Geng Le lamented bitterly, "Old Li, you've changed. You're no longer my little angel!"
Li Qi kicked Geng Le directly, "Speak properly, get to the point, don't set a bad example for the kids!"
Leng Yue's eyes blazed with gossip after Li Qi's words!
The air seemed to be filled with the scent of BL (Boys' Love) novels!
"You don't love me anymore, Lao Li! You used to say you only loved me! You heartless man! Waaah, my heart is breaking!" Geng Le pretended to cry while wiping away imaginary tears with a tissue.
Li Qi rubbed his temples. "If you cause any more trouble, get out of here!"
Geng Le immediately stopped talking and became serious. "Your name is Leng Yue, right? My name is Geng Le, and I'm a top agent at Xinghui Entertainment! Of course, I'm also a good friend of your teacher, Mr. Li!"
Leng Yue was engrossed in watching when Geng Le suddenly brought up serious business with her, leaving her somewhat unsatisfied!
However, she wisely put away her gossipy thoughts and started chatting seriously with Geng Le.
"What do you want Xiaoyu to do? Xiaoyu is still a student and not very old." Leng Yue decided to remain reserved to the end.
When it comes to work, Geng Le becomes particularly serious. "You should know that with Leng Yu's looks, she will definitely become a rising star in the entertainment industry!"
Leng Yue shook her head in disagreement: "There are so many beautiful girls in the entertainment industry, I don't think Xiao Yu has any advantage!"
Geng Le: "If you rely solely on your youth and looks, it definitely won't last. But what if we rely on our abilities?"
"In today's society, appearance is everything. If you have a perfect appearance, put in a lot of effort, and demonstrate exceptional ability, do you think Leng Yu will be overlooked?" Geng Le retorted.
Leng Yue nodded; she agreed with this point. Good looks alone might not be enough, but good looks combined with talent, plus the right packaging, make success almost inevitable.
"But what can Xiaoyu do?" Leng Yue was still worried.
"I want to train Leng Yu to become a teenage idol. Singing and dancing are the most basic requirements." Not long after entering the industry, Geng Le launched well-known male stars such as Mi Ke, Wang Yu, and Li Xinran.
Geng Le always manages to grasp the unique characteristics of his artists and plan a development path suitable for them. Among the artists he has managed, Mi Ke became a film emperor, Li Xinran is a national idol, and the others have all entered the top tier of talent. Such achievements have laid the foundation for Geng Le to become a top-notch agent.
Leng Yue had already looked up these things online after lunch.
“You don’t have any female artists under your management, and the male artists you manage are all just acting. Why are you suddenly…” Leng Yue didn’t quite understand.
Geng Le: "I love challenges! I didn't want to manage male artists lately. Then I met your sister, and that's when this idea came to me. This is a new opportunity given to me by fate!"
Leng Yue: "Since that's the case, I'll also share my thoughts."
Geng Le: "Go ahead."
Leng Yue: "I don't think Xiao Yu has any advantages. In recent years, a lot of girl groups have emerged in China that are good at both singing and dancing. This is not a good way out."
"So, if possible, acting is still the fastest way to make a name for yourself. There's a shortage of actors of her age, so the competition isn't fierce. As long as she hones her acting skills, it's actually easier for her to stand out!" Leng Yue didn't want to choose the most difficult path. Once the first person succeeds, countless others will follow suit.
However, some successful methods can only be used once and cannot be replicated by others.
"You want her to act? That will interfere with her studies!" Geng Le disagreed.
"Once you enter the entertainment industry, how can you not neglect your studies? Besides, acting can be done during winter and summer vacations, but singing and dancing require daily practice, right?" Leng Yue looked at Geng Le with an expression that said, "Don't lie to me."
Geng Le coughed a few times. "I need to think about it some more. You should go back and discuss it with your sister. Let's call it a day."
Leng Yue glanced at Geng Le, said nothing more, got up, greeted Li Qi, and left.
"Why do you insist that Leng Yu sing and dance?" Li Qi also felt that Leng Yue's words made more sense. Although he did not approve of girls getting involved in the entertainment industry, if they had to go through with it, then they should choose the one that would have the least impact on their studies.
Geng Le: "I had a gut feeling that once that girl started singing, she would definitely become a huge star! Lao Li, you know me, I've achieved what I have today by relying on this kind of intuition over the past few years."
Li Qi nodded; he believed it. Geng Le had an exceptional eye for talent, and it was precisely because of this that he quickly rose from a clueless assistant to a manager, eventually launching the careers of so many stars and becoming a top-tier agent.
Li Qi: "Leng Yue is quite stubborn and very wary of people. You two might not be able to reach an agreement in the end."
Geng Le nodded: "Indeed, that girl seems to have a hard time trusting people, and her sister is very obedient to her, so it's not easy to handle."
“No, you’re mistaken about that. She listens to her sister.” Li Qi couldn’t help but chuckle. “You should observe how the sisters get along; it’s quite amusing. On the surface, she manages her sister, but in reality, she seriously considers her sister’s ideas.”
"Really? Looks like I can be wrong sometimes! That's great!" Geng Le slapped his thigh, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.
