Chapter 5 - The First Day in Starry Cosmo (1/2)

The next day, Mi Chen took Meow’s advice that she couldn’t quit her job in the photographic studio before she made sure that she was really admitted to Starry Cosmo. Mi Chen went to her boss and asked for a leave, saying that her father had been sent into hospital and was going to die. It was easy for Mi Chen to tell such a simple lie.

According to her mother, her father had affairs with other woman when her mother was pregnant. So they got divorced with each other soon. Several years ago, her father died of cerebral hemorrhage and Mi Chen just thought that he might be bored with his rich life.

Mi Chen even couldn’t remember her father’s face. She just followed her mother and left a white rose in his funeral.

The boss of the photographic studio grumbled about this, but he still approved her request. He was clear that if he refused it in this kind of situation, he would be abused for coldness severely.

Mi Chen found out her formal suit and was dressed like a graduate who had just left university and went to take part in an interview.

“Meow, how do I look?”

Meow was busy brushing her eyelashes. She even didn’t raise her head a bit answering, “Great! You really look like a vulnerable newbie!”

“Come on!” Mi Chen got a bit mad at her words.

However, Meow just turned around her head begging, “My dear, come to help me brush my eyelashes. I also want to enjoy the same treatment with Bai Yihan, king of the silver screen!”

Mi Chen really wanted to hit her badly. But she cooled down as soon as she saw the terrible work that Meow had made on her eyelashes.

Their appointed time was ten o’clock and Mi Chen came half an hour earlier. It was nine thirty when she arrived at the building of Starry Cosmo.

The guard did his duty and stopped her, warning, “No admittance except on business. Only staff and invited media could come in.”

Mi Chen quickly took out the card the Ann Yan gave her. The guard then asked the workers of the reception to make sure if there was a new comer today. After a while, Mi Chen eventually came in.

She took a deep breath and her palms had already got wet with sweats. As the door of the elevator opened, she walked in with several workers who was talking something happily.

It was until this moment that Mi Chen found almost all workers wore casually except the receptionists. They just wore their own clothes, casually or fashionably. Some of them also wore suits but they were not so formal as hers.

She was the only person who wore a simple solid white Shirt and a standard skirt.

“Hey, are you the new administration staff?” asked a young man in the elevator. He wore a silver blazer as well as a pair of jeans.

“Hum, no… I’m a cosmetician…”

“Cosmetician?” A tall girl who had a lot of makeup on and wore a pair of harem pants burst into laughter as soon as she heard the response. “Your dress only makes me think that you come here to make coffee and deliver documents. Are you sure you can do your work in this set of clothes?”

Mi Chen lowered her head. Meow was right. She was just like a newbie now.

They laughed and whispered to each other in a low voice.

“Maybe she just graduates from university and applies for a temporary cosmetician.”

“She would like to be a life assistant of an infamous star.”

The elevator suddenly stopped when it reached the tenth floor. As they saw the man who was standing in front of the elevator, the two young women quickly changed their face and greeted respectfully.

“President Li.”

Mi Chen didn’t know Li Rui at all. But she had received a strong sense of pressure as she saw the man in a dark suit. His eyebrows were knitted and his nose bone made him look cold too.

“Hum.” Li Rui walked into the elevator.

Mi Chen subconsciously moved to the corner to protect herself from being noticed.

Someone then followed Li Rui and came in, after which the two young women instantly changed their voice.

“Wow! Bai Yihan, the best actor!”

“It’s really him!”

Bai Yihan? Mi Chen raised her head as soon as she heard the name.

Bai Yihan happened to turn around and look into Mi Chen’s eyes. He got a bit surprised for a while, an attractive smile curving his thin lips.

“How could you be here?”

The space was not so big but Bai Yihan still walked up to Mi Chen and leaned against the wall shoulder to shoulder with her, saying, “Do you remember we had an assignment that day? I invited you to have a late supper with me. And I had been waiting you for a long time.”

The two young women couldn’t help opening their mouths so wide that an egg could even be put in it. Even Li Rui turned around and averted his eyes to the girl who was wearing an ugly suit and was not easy to be noticed.

All people in the entertainment circle knew the news of Bai Yihan’s love affair that year. But now people paid more attention to his achievement.

However, what Bai Yihan just said made people think something special as he just mentioned that he had been waiting her for a long time. Had Bai Yihan changed his taste and loved this kind of insensible style now? If their thoughts were right, it would be the first big news after Bai Yihan returned.

“I finished my work at two o’clock. I just thought you couldn’t wait for so long…”

It never occurred to Mi Chen that Bai Yihan was serious when he sent the invitation to her and even waited for her.
