Chapter 007

"We're taking pictures?" The security guard was surprised. "Ms. Ye, you're just too kind. You're so nice to the sasaeng fans!"

Ye Luoyi waved her hands, "After all, this is for me. Their likes are the greatest support for me!"

Yan Ximan's forehead was full of black lines.

Is there no normal person in Tianhui Entertainment?

Yan Xi turned around and walked out of Tianhui Building.

The security guard behind her yelled, "Little girl, why are you leaving? We promised to take a photo with you, why are you leaving?"

The assistant responded, "She left so cleanly, could she not be a fan?"

Ye Luoyi's smiling expression froze in an instant, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

At this time, the three of them saw Yan Xi walk to the door of Tianhui Building and without hesitation threw the autographed photo that her assistant had stuffed into her arms into the trash can.

At that moment, Ye Luoyi's face turned even darker.

——

Yan Xi walked out of the building. It had been more than ten minutes since Zhou Qingyu went upstairs, but Zhou Qingyu had not come out yet and had not contacted her.

Yan Xi knew what Pei Yubai would say to Zhou Qingyu, and she also understood that she could not change everything with her current state, but she just wanted to be with Zhou Qingyu when she was lost and sad.

If the front door doesn’t work, what about the side door?

Tianhui Entertainment should have a back door or something that allows celebrities to leave easily, right?

Yan Xi looked around, and suddenly a man's voice sounded behind her, "Girl, are you interested in being a star?"

Yan Xi was startled, and when she turned around, she saw a man in his forties standing behind her. His hair was combed shiny and he had a beard, which made him look like a middle-aged literary man.

"Let me introduce myself," the man took out his business card and handed it to Yan Xi, "My last name is Sun, my given name is Qi, and I'm the agent director of Tianhui Entertainment. I think you have good qualifications. Do you want to enter the entertainment industry and become a star?"

Yan Xi took the business card suspiciously.

This business card is made of very good material. It is a thin piece with a smooth texture and a certain thickness, which is enough to show that Sun Qi has a high status in Tianhui Entertainment.

Yan Xi held the business card and said nothing. Sun Qi started to sell again, "This is the Tianhui Company building. I'm not lying to you. If you don't believe me, I can take you to the company to have a look."

Yan Xi's eyes lit up instantly, "Now?"

"Of course!"

Yan Xi accepted the business card and Sun Qi led her into the Tianhui Building.

On the way, Sun Qi did not forget to ask about Yan Xi's age. When he learned that she was only 20 years old, Sun Qi was even more satisfied.

Being a star is a job that requires youth, so the younger the better. At this age, I am still in college and have plenty of time, so I am suitable to debut as a star.

Sun Qi didn't ask, and Yan Xi didn't say, but she was actually a graduate student. She skipped three grades in elementary school and was a freshman at the age of 20. But it didn't matter. She mainly wanted to sneak into Tianhui Building to find Zhou Qingyu, not to really become a star.

When I walked to the front desk, I suddenly saw Ye Luoyi and the security guard again.

The security guard was surprised: "Aren't you a fan of Miss Ye? Why are you here again?"

Yan Xi pouted, "I told you long ago that I'm not a fan, don't you understand?"

Sun Qi looked confused, so the security guard repeated what had just happened.

Compared to the illegitimate fans, Sun Qi believes more that Yan Xi is Zhou Qingyu's assistant.

The assistant really couldn't afford a high-end dress, but it could also be a second-hand item given by Zhou Qingyu. Zhou Qingyu often gave Pei Yubai hundreds of millions of resources, so a dress worth hundreds of thousands was nothing in her eyes.

"Okay, you must have misunderstood." Sun Qi looked at the security guard and Ye Luoyi, "Have you ever seen a sasaeng fan look at his idol so calmly?"

Sun Kai has been in the entertainment industry for more than a decade, so he knows his fans very well.

Ye Luoyi felt even more embarrassed and spoke unnaturally, "So, Brother Sun, did you bring her in to give Teacher Zhou something?"

Celebrities usually call other celebrities "Teacher" to show respect.

"No, I want to sign her as an artist!" Sun Qi said excitedly, "Yan Xi's bones and skin are good, and she is also a little white flower, very suitable for acting in idol dramas!"

Zhou Qingyu once commented on this point. Compared with Zhou Qingyu's bright and flamboyant dark-skinned face, Yan Xi is a pure and harmless pale-skinned little white flower. With such looks, it is especially easy to have a sense of CP with male actors.

The most important thing about idol dramas is the sense of CP.

But Yan Xi had no interest in acting and rejected Zhou Qingyu early on.

At this moment, Yan Xi said nothing and behaved like a student who was looking forward to being signed.

When Ye Luoyi heard Sun Qi's compliment, her eyes dimmed.

She also follows the route of an innocent little white flower, and has achieved her current position by marketing her CP with Pei Yubai. Yan Xi is undoubtedly her competitor, and she is younger than her, which is a blow to her.

But the company's brokerage director wanted to sign a newcomer, and Ye Luoyi couldn't object. Tianhui Entertainment had a lot of low-budget idol dramas, and Ye Luoyi was already a certain celebrity now, so those low-budget dramas wouldn't let her act, only newcomers like Yan Xi would act.

Even though Ye Luoyi knew that she was not competing with Yan Xi in the short term, she was still unhappy.

Sun Qi led Yan Xi into the elevator and introduced the company structure along the way. However, Yan Xi's eyes only stayed on the third floor, which was Pei Yubai's office.

When introduced to the physical fitness room, Yan Xi deliberately made up an excuse that she had a stomachache and left Sun Qi.

Sun Qi had no doubts. In his opinion, being a star was such a great opportunity, and he didn't believe Yan Xi would give up.

Ye Luoyi teased jokingly, "She said she was sending something to Teacher Zhou, but it turns out she wanted to sign a contract and debut! This girl looks innocent, but she's quite cunning."

In addition to sasaeng fans, there are also some beautiful girls who deliberately hang around entertainment companies in the hope of being discovered by scouts, signing a contract, and becoming an overnight sensation. This is not uncommon in the industry.

"It's better to be thoughtful." Sun Qi doesn't care if his artists are ambitious. Instead, he worries that they have no ambition.

Labels like "gentle as a chrysanthemum" or "not competitive" are just personal settings. The entertainment industry is a huge melting pot. If you really want to be a salted fish and not compete, just wait to be drowned!

Ye Luoyi was ambitious and got close to Pei Yubai, which is why she is where she is today. Everyone knows this, but they just tacitly don't mention it.

After waiting for a long time, Yan Xi still didn't come out of the bathroom.

Sun Qi was puzzled and asked his assistant to go into the ladies' room to look for someone. After searching for a while, the assistant came out and said there was no one inside.

"She ran away? She doesn't want such a good opportunity to be a star?" Sun Qi couldn't understand.

The assistant remembered Yan Xi's self-introduction at the front desk and spoke carefully, "Is it possible that he is not a stalker and does not want to sign a contract... He is really just here to give Teacher Zhou something?"

Tianhui Entertainment 3rd Floor

Zhou Qingyu walked out of the elevator and opened the door of the president's office.

She was delighted and had a smile on her face.

Pei Yubai seldom takes the initiative to look for her. Even though she knows that he made an appointment with her today for tomorrow's variety show, Zhou Qingyu is still happy.

As soon as she walked into the office, Pei Yubai accused her, "Don't you know that Tianhui is at a critical moment? Why do you want to bully Luoyi in the crew? Luoyi is just an artist in my company. You are making it very difficult for me to deal with this!"

Zhou Qingyu was splashed with cold water, and the smile on her face froze, "I just don't like her always being by your side, Brother Yubai, don't be angry..."

"How can I not be angry?!" Pei Yubai said in a heavier tone, "Didn't I tell you long ago that Luo Yi and I are just marketing! Why are you so ignorant? Do you deliberately hope that I lose to Pei Hanli and that I will fail in the competition with him?"

"No! That's not what I thought!" Zhou Qingyu was so anxious that she was incoherent.

Today, we were filming "The End of Prosperity". Zhou Qingyu and Ye Luoyi had a rivalry scene. For the sake of the visual effect, the director asked Zhou Qingyu to really fight. Zhou Qingyu was so happy that she used all the experience she had with Ye Luoyi and slapped Ye Luoyi hard, leaving red marks on her face.

The paparazzi who were lurking nearby captured this scene and posted it online, deliberately saying that Zhou Qingyu slapped Ye Luoyi.

But it was clearly the director's request that they really hit each other, and Zhou Qingyu felt that she just used some force, so why was she to blame?

Pei Yubai pinched his nose in pain and said, "Let's leave it at that!"

Zhou Qingyu was still useful to him. Before he completely took back Pei's company, Pei Yubai didn't want to have a quarrel with her. "Because of the slapping incident today, I will give the variety show quota to Luo Yi. Remember to apologize to Luo Yi during the recording tomorrow and get along well with her on the variety show."

"You're not recording anymore?" Zhou Qingyu widened her eyes. She had been thinking about it for so long and just wanted to travel with Pei Yubai. How could Pei Yubai not go?

Pei Yubai's subsequent words made Zhou Qingyu's face turn green with anger, "Also, why do you want Ye Luoyi and I to apologize? It's not my fault! Anyway, if you're not going, I won't go either!"

Pei Yubai had expected Zhou Qingyu to refuse, and said in a serious tone, "Why are you so ignorant? Since you like me, can't you think more about me? If I can't get Pei's back, how can we be together?"

Zhou Qingyu felt aggrieved, "Even if Pei's company didn't exist, you still have me..."

Pei Yubai interrupted Zhou Qingyu, "A man must have his own career. Do you want me to be a gigolo? Zhou Qingyu, what's the difference between you destroying me?!"

Pei Yubai looked sullen and his tone of voice was filled with anger.

Zhou Qingyu saw that Pei Yubai was angry and comforted him carefully, "Brother Yubai, don't be angry, that's not what I meant..."

"I know you don't mean any harm," Pei Yubai's tone finally softened, "but Qingyu, you should be sensible. Even for my sake and for our future, get along well with Luoyi on the variety show and apologize to her for slapping her tomorrow, okay?"

Zhou Qingyu was still unwilling in her heart. She had always been arrogant and looked down on others, but as long as she met Pei Yubai, all her principles were no longer principles.

As long as she looked at Pei Yubai, her heart softened.

She nodded. "Okay."

——

Yan Xi left on the pretext of having a stomachache, and when she reached the third floor, she saw Zhou Qingyu coming out of the president's office in a daze.

Her makeup was delicate, but her eyes were red and she looked like she was about to cry.

Seeing Yan Xi, Zhou Qingyu couldn't hold back any longer and hugged Yan Xi tightly, tears falling down. Yan Xi didn't ask anything, hugged Zhou Qingyu back and stroked her back.

Pei Yubai came out of the office and saw Yan Xi. He was a little surprised, but still greeted her politely.

"Long time no see."

Yan Xi sneered, "It's not like we haven't seen each other for a long time, I actually see the Second Young Master quite often!"

"Oh?" Pei Yubai was puzzled at first, but soon responded, "You also watch financial programs? I recently recorded an interview for them."

Yan Xi smiled: "What's the point of a financial interview? I read entertainment news. I didn't expect that Mr. Pei has a girlfriend in the entertainment industry and a fiancée in the wealthy circle. It's amazing~"

Pei Yubai's expression froze.

Only the Pei family and the Zhou family knew about his engagement with Zhou Qingyu. The elders of the two families never read entertainment news, so Pei Yubai had nothing to be afraid of.

But now that Yan Xi had pointed it out to him directly, Pei Yubai couldn't save face.

He was about to explain when Yan Xi very "magnanimously" interrupted him, "No need to explain, you and Ye Luoyi are just playing around, I understand."

Pei Yubai breathed a sigh of relief. The next second, he heard Yan Xi's sinister voice, "I'm worried that the second young master will do something real. If Old Pei knows about this, breaking one of your legs will be the least of my worries. Second young master, do you think I'm right?"

Yan Xi said it so nonchalantly, as if it was just a joke, but Pei Yubai felt uncomfortable all over, as if Yan Xi had discovered his secret.

Fortunately, Zhou Qingyu still defended him, "Xixi, don't say that about Brother Yubai. Brother Yubai likes me, and he did this for our future."

Yan Xi took a deep breath. She knew that this was not Zhou Qingyu's true words. This was just her love brain speaking under the control of the plot. So she would not blame Zhou Qingyu and would just stay by her side.

"I was just joking," Yan Xi looked at Pei Yubai, "Young Master Pei would never do something as beastly as stepping on two boats at the same time, right?"

Pei Yubai felt that he was being implied, but he couldn't refute it, and the corners of his mouth twitched as a smile emerged.

"will not."
