Noticing Ye Ni's gaze, Melody took out the cigarette with her long fingers and gave Ye Ni a questioning look.
"Sorry, Miss Ou, I have to go." Ye Ni put the wine glass on the waiter's tray behind her. She said, "I have to get up early tomorrow to attend an announcement. Goodbye."
Ou Yalan didn't let go of Ye Ni. She leaned close to Ye Ni's ear and asked, "Is that your agent?"
Ye Ni shook her head, "No, she is the director of our company."
Director.
A woman with no background can become the owner of a high-end nightclub and the director of a media company.
This woman's business acumen is indeed extraordinary.
"Don't worry." Ou Yalan said, "Since you're here, please ask your director to come in and have a seat."
As she spoke, Ou Yalan took the initiative to walk towards Melody and kindly invited her to sit with her.
Melody was a social butterfly and agreed without hesitation.
After Melody became the director of Shengxing Entertainment, she was considered a member of the circle, and several female artists present recognized her.
Ou Yalan held a glass of juice and watched Melody chatting with this group of scheming women with a smile.
She soon discovered that no matter how these women tried to trick Melody, she could always keenly smell the scent of malice and quietly avoid the verbal traps they set.
Ou Yalan couldn't help but wonder: If Melody had grown up in the Ou family, how much greater would her achievements be?
But then I thought, no matter how capable Melody is, she will only be a high-level slave working for others in her life, and the imbalance in my heart immediately disappeared.
Passing a fruit platter to Melody, Ou Yalan suddenly said, "I heard that Sister Melody was a singer before?"
Hearing this, everyone looked at Melody in surprise.
"Sister Melody, were you a singer before?" Several artists in the circle asked Melody.
Melody nodded, "Yeah, sort of. I almost got signed and debuted."
As for why she didn't make her debut, she didn't say, and everyone was smart enough not to ask.
Only Ou Yalan said, "Since Melody is also a singer, this is a rare opportunity. Would you like to sing a song for us too?"
"I wonder if Melody's singing voice is still the same after all these years."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the sofa booth fell silent.
Sing us a song.
What Ou Yalan said, and the tone in which she said it, were full of the contempt and arrogance of a superior.
Ye Ni also sensed something was wrong, and she subconsciously stood up and pulled Melody away.
Melody patted Ye Ni's thigh gently, signaling her to be patient.
Ye Ni had no choice but to suppress her displeasure and sat motionless on the sofa with a gloomy face.
"Ms. Ou." Melody returned the fruit plate in front of her to Ou Yalan intact. She smiled and said, "Do you know?"
Ou Yalan leaned forward and pretended to listen attentively.
Melody said: "Our Chinese culture has been around for thousands of years. Since ancient times, those who make a living by singing are called singing girls. Those who make a living by dancing are called dancing girls."
"For a good singer or dancer, the most glorious moment in life is to sing in the palace. Being favored by the king and being made a concubine or something like that is a great honor."
"Of course that was in ancient times."
Changing the subject, Melody laughed and said, "Nowadays, those who sing are called singers, and those who dance are called dancers. We should package up the singers who sing well and the dancers who dance well and send them to the Spring Festival Gala to entertain the people."
"Look."
"I've said all this just to tell Miss Ou. Whether in ancient times or in this day and age, I, a singing singer, and you, a dancing dancer, are the same kind of people."
"No one is nobler than anyone else."
"You're a guy who wears a tight jumpsuit and performs splits and spinning tops on stage. What right do you have to look down on me, who makes a living with my voice?"
Melody's sharp words made Ou Yalan's pretty face turn pale.
Not to mention her, the singers and actors sitting on the sofa also showed subtle expressions.
I've heard that Melody, the director of Shengxing Media, is not someone you can easily mess with.
But I didn't expect her to be so easy to mess with.
You may say her words are vicious, but she is not simply belittling Ou Yalan's career, she is also belittling herself.
This approach of hurting yourself by 800 and hurting the enemy by 1,000 is quite cruel.
But she won after all.
"Of course, I'm not mocking all ballet dancers." Melody took a sip of the whiskey in front of her and said:
"One minute on stage is the product of ten years of hard work off stage. I really respect every dancer who loves and respects their profession."
"It's just that Miss Ou is not among them."
Melody picked up the whiskey glass and raised it towards Ou Yalan. There was only a sip of whiskey left in it.
Offering wine to others in this way is very disrespectful.
But Melody just looks down on this woman, Ou Yalan.
Melody said to Ou Yalan with her glass of wine, "Ms. Ou, I respect your accomplishments in ballet, but I despise your character as a person!"
"Ballet principal Ou Yalan." Melody poured the wine onto the table in front of her, smiled playfully, and said sarcastically, "Nothing more than that."
Melody pulled Ye Ni up and left.
As she turned around, she didn't forget to wave and bless Ou Yalan: "I wish Miss Ou to marry a happy husband. May your love be stronger than gold, and may you share happiness and difficulties together!"
