"Sister Na, what's wrong?" A soft voice suddenly interrupted. Tang Yue walked over with a white evening gown in her hands.
When Zhou Na saw her, her tone softened. "It's nothing. She's just being disobedient. If all the newcomers were as good as Miss Tang, we'd be overjoyed!"
"Haha!" Tang Yue revealed a faint smile. "Miss Mei seems to be only 16 years old. It's inevitable that she'll be immature. Sister Na, please forgive her." Then, she turned to Asha. "Miss Mei, it's better for you to listen to your manager. Sister Na won't harm you."
Tang Yue's eyes were clear and her tone was gentle. People couldn't help but believe her and listen to her.
Unfortunately, Asha and this woman had been classmates at Caesar for two years. She had already seen through her from the inside out.
"Since Miss Tang says that I'm immature, then I don't mind." Asha shrugged. Since you're implying that I'm immature, then I'll be immature until the end. She took the gown she had chosen and turned to enter the fitting room.
Zhou Na was so angry that she wanted to rush up and slap her. Tang Yue raised the corner of her mouth and comforted her with a smile. "Forget it, Sister Na. Just do your best. I'll leave first!" Then, she nodded and left with her manager.
Looking at her back, Zhou Na became angrier and angrier. Why did she have to take care of an immature little girl?
After Asha tried on the gown, she took it off and put it away. Carrying the bag, she walked out. "I've chosen. Where should I do my hair?"
"Why aren't you wearing it? If you embarrass yourself at the banquet, how will I explain it to the company?"
Asha said calmly. "If I embarrass the company, then I'll take responsibility. You can also replace me!"
"You don't know what's good for you." Zhou Na snorted and turned to leave.
At the end of summer, the evening wind blew gently over the city. On the top floor of the bustling commercial center, Stars Entertainment held their first banquet here. They invited many stars and directors. Someone had secretly spread the news that Stars Entertainment wanted to poach people.
Therefore, some stars who were not successful in their original companies and whose fame was declining flocked to the banquet. Of course, some big names also had to show their support, because once Starlight took a fancy to them, it meant that they had a bridge to enter the international market. For the popular domestic stars, this was an opportunity that they couldn't miss.
Asha hid in a corner and ate alone. Many people had already noticed her. She was a very young girl, wearing a short pink princess dress that very few people would choose. This kind of style could easily make people misunderstand her as a woman from some entertainment place.
But when Asha wore it, she looked stunning. With her hair coiled up behind her head and pinned up with a small diamond hairpin, she looked like a princess from a fairy tale.
However, the seductive look in her eyes made her look like an enchantress. Whenever a man saw her, the first thought in his mind would be to take off her pink angel wings and see what was inside that seduced people.
Even Zhou Na was shocked for a long time when she saw her outfit. She then resentfully stopped nagging.
"Miss Mei!" Someone interrupted Asha's meal. She looked up and saw that it was the fatty with the surname Yuan.
Asha put down her plate and took a step back. "Hello, Manager Yuan," she greeted politely.
Yuan Tao looked at her with enthusiasm. This little girl was really charming. When she came for the audition that day, he wanted to make a move. But he knew that she was too beautiful to be interested in him. So he made a move on Tian Yiyi first. Then, he asked her to hint to Mei Jing that if she wanted a role, she should come to him. Who knew that Tian Yiyi couldn't even do such a simple thing.
If it weren't for the fact that Tian Yiyi still had some beauty and that he wanted to play with her, he wouldn't have signed her …
"Miss Mei, why are you hiding here? This is a rare occasion. You should go out and get to know the director. Maybe you can get a role!" Yuan Tao said as he moved closer.
Asha was thinking about how to deal with Yuan Tao when she saw Zhou Na hurrying over.
"Mei Jing, come with me." Zhou Na only saw Yuan Tao when she ran over. She remembered that Yuan Tao had taken advantage of her before, but she still couldn't become Tang Yue's agent.
So, she said with an unfriendly look, "Manager Yuan, what's the matter?"
"Oh, nothing, nothing!" Yuan Tao said with a smile. "Just a few words for the newbie. Mei Jing, you go with Zhou Na. Remember to do well!"
Asha nodded with a fake smile.
Zhou Na led Mei Jing to a group of people. Asha found that Tang Yue was there as well.
"President Song, this is our Mei Jing. Take a look!"
The man looked Mei Jing up and down. "She's beautiful, but she's your newbie!"
"Miss Mei may be starring in Stars Entertainment's annual drama with me," Tang Yue said with the same noble and gentle smile. "President Song, do you want to consider it?"
President Song smiled. "This time, Xin Enterprises has chosen the spokesperson for the karst hot spring. Miss Tang is known as the queen of advertising. I suggest you give it a try. As for Miss Mei, I'm sorry. I hope we can work together next time."
Asha blinked. Karst hot spring? She remembered that Childe Shen had mentioned last year that the spokesperson for Xin Enterprises had emigrated because she got married. At that time, Xin Qing had told her that she would be the spokesperson after she graduated this year.
"Boss Song, it doesn't have to be a spokesperson. Any commercial will do. You know it's not easy being a newbie!" Zhou Na wanted to fight for Mei Jing. No matter how much she disliked Mei Jing, she was now Mei Jing's manager. The two of them were in the same boat.
Tang Yue spoke again. "How about this? I have a commercial recently. I need a few girls, but there won't be much screen time. Mei Jing, do you want to give it a try?"
Before Asha could say anything, a cold male voice sounded.
"Stars Entertainment's artists won't fall to that level."
Everyone was stunned. Boss Song quickly lowered his head. "Boss Wan!"
"Xin Enterprises' endorsements have always been decided by someone. Boss Song, don't you know?"
"I … I'm just saying. Just saying." He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. Others might not know the background of the young man in front of him, but he knew.
The boss of Stars Entertainment, Wan Qingsi. He was President Ying's future son-in-law. He used to be called Boss Wan, but he changed his name.
Wan Qingsi ignored him and looked at Zhou Na. "You're her manager?"
"Yes, boss," Zhou Na answered carefully.
"She doesn't have a position yet. Who told you to take the commercial for her?" After that, Wan Qingsi's cold gaze swept over everyone in the room. His gaze paused on Tang Yue for a moment. "And it's one of those lousy commercials."
Tang Yue's heart skipped a beat. She didn't understand why this man would say that. It sounded like he was angry.
"Looks like we were rude," Tang Yue said with a smile. "I'm sorry, Mei Jing!"
Asha didn't say anything. She had noticed Xunxun's gaze on her a long time ago. She muttered to herself, "Could this guy recognize me?" But then she thought it was impossible. Her mother-in-law's cooking was very reliable.
"It's okay," Asha decided to ignore the man beside her for now. She looked at Tang Yue and said, "You mean well!"
When the banquet ended, Asha slipped out of the side door. Other than the constant stream of men who came to her and hinted that they wanted to keep her as their mistress, she didn't get anything else out of the banquet.
But in fact, she was the only one who thought so …
Xunxun returned to his own apartment. He had bought it a year ago. The entire floor had been cleared. Originally, he was going to live in Ying's residence after he returned to China. But when Ying Qingcang came back with Xin Qing, they kicked him out.
"How long are you going to stay at your mother-in-law's place and cheat her out of food and drinks?" That was Ying Qingcang's reason.
Xunxun didn't care. His gaze softened as he looked at the pink decor of the apartment. When Asha came back at the end of the year, she could move in directly … Xunxun frowned at the thought. That Mei Jing at the banquet tonight looked too much like Asha. Her figure and her movements were exactly the same as Asha's.
Except for that face.
Xunxun looked at the lights outside the window. The corner of his mouth lifted. He would never mistake his baby for someone else.
He pressed the ring on his finger. An image of Boss Wan appeared in the air.
The father and son looked at each other for a long time. Then, Boss Wan broke the silence. "You recognized her?"
"Would you mistake your own wife for someone else?" Xunxun said coldly. "You and my mother did something good behind my back!"
Boss Wan said without a hint of guilt. "Of course I have to fulfill my daughter-in-law's request."
"Aunt Qing knows about it too?"
"Your father-in-law and mother-in-law know about it."
Xunxun nodded. "That's all. I'm hanging up."
"If Asha doesn't want you to know, then let her have fun. Don't spoil the girl's fun," Boss Wan said and ended the call.
Poor Asha still didn't know that her cover had been blown. She had taken a shower and was lying in bed, waiting for Xunxun to call her for an inspection. She picked up her phone as soon as it rang.
"Asha, are you asleep?" A gentle voice came from the other side of the phone.
"I'm already in bed. I fell asleep after talking to you!" Asha patted the blanket to show that she was really in bed.
Xunxun laughed on the other side of the phone. "Asha, I miss you. Hurry up and graduate and come back."
"I miss you too!" Ah Sha's words were sincere. Then …
"I'll be back at the end of the year. You have to make a movie for me by then. I want to be the female lead!"
The first part of the sentence made Xunxun's heart skip a beat. The second part made him laugh out loud.
The little girl was still pretending!
"Okay. When you come back, I'll make sure you're the female lead!"
The next day, when Asha went to the company, Zhou Na told her with an incredulous look on her face that the company had decided to cast her as the second female lead in the blockbuster movie.
"Didn't they say that Tian Yiyi would be the second female lead?" Asha was stunned. Her first reaction was that Xunxun had recognized her. Then she thought about it again. Based on Xunxun's personality, if he had recognized her, he would have come to arrest her already.
Zhou Na waved at her. "She said it herself, didn't she? Hmph. Don't worry about her. She'll probably be the third or fourth female lead or something. "Zhou Na handed her the script." Read it carefully. You'll be joining the cast in half a month. "
Asha loved making movies, so she stayed at home and memorized her lines for half a month. On the day of filming, the company sent a car to pick her up punctually. When she arrived at the film studio, she saw that Tang Yue was already done with her makeup.
Beside her was an expressionless Wan Qingsi.
