Chapter 268 Giving You A Chance To Be A Supporting Character (1/2)

Through the gla.s.s window, Ah Sha saw two birds perched on a branch outside. Tian Yiyi's remark brought a bland smile to Ah Sha's face. ”And where, might I ask, did you come by that knowledge?”

”I...” Panic flashed in Tian Yiyi's eyes. But a split second later, her eyes returned to normal. There was a hint of smugness in her tone when Tian Yiyi spoke next. ”I have my ways, of course. Seeing that we're both rookies here, I'll let you in on something else.”

When she saw that Ah Sha had barely reacted to what she had just said, Tian Yiyi felt a bit peeved. ”I've already given up on the lead role,” Tian Yiyi said. ”Stars Entertainment has agreed to give me the second lead. As for you? Well, I can help you get the third lead role, if you want.”

”Oh?” Ah Sha said, finally raising her head. For a moment there, Tian Yiyi found herself slightly dazzled by the radiant beauty held inside Ah Sha's eyes. ”d.a.m.n, this woman really is beautiful,” Tian Yiyi thought. Then again, the feeling of amazement was soon replaced with a surge of unbidden jealousy. ”So what if she's beautiful?” Tian Yiyi thought. ”She still won't be getting the role.”

A second later, Tian Yiyi felt her smile disappearing.

”Help me how? By jumping into bed with Mr. Potbelly for a second time?”

Mortified, Tian Yiyi stumbled back two steps as she stared back at Ah Sha with wide eyes. She had read through this girl's file when she had been at the fat guy's place yesterday. From the file, Tian Yiyi knew that this girl had just returned to the country and that her background was by no means impressive. Heck, the file said that she was only sixteen, and yet she had read the current situation like a book...

”Haha. I thought you were all pure and innocent! Well, since you already understand, then I don't have to say anything else. Brother Yuan would like to have dinner with you today,” Tian Yiyi said through gritted teeth. That g*dd*mned lard-a.r.s.e even had the nerve to fantasize about Mei Jing when he was with in bed with her yesterday.

Without sparing Tian Yiyi another glance, Ah Sha stood up, turned around, and walked away.

”You don't want the role?” Tian Yiyi yelled at her.

”Of course I want it. But I want the lead role. Doing it your way just isn't my style,” Ah Sha shot back without even turning her head around.

Stunned, Tian Yiyi stared after Mei Jing's leaving form. After a while, she recovered, and stomped her foot. ”Humph! Be full of yourself all you want. You're just another pretty face, that's all. Let's just see how hard you'll be crying later...”

”Ken, these are the files of the final three candidates.” Qi Xiu handed the files to a man sitting behind the desk. After that, he added, ”The one called Tian Yiyi has already been chosen as the second female lead. She's a graduate from an acting school. We're prepared to sign her.”

Beautiful and slender fingers gripped the files. Those fingers belonged to a very young and handsome man whose beautiful features were perfectly sculpted but emotionless. His dark and profound eyes were like deep pools, calm and waveless.

n.o.body would suspect that such a man was capable of burying a person alive the moment his feathers were ruffled.

The man flipped through the files casually before shooting a glance at Qi Xiu. ”So, who is it? Who has she bribed with her body?”

”Fat Yuan,” Qi Xiu said with a look saying that his suspicion had been confirmed; Qi Xiu knew that the Boss would have smelled something fishy right away. Nothing could get past the Boss.

The Boss' eyes lingered on Mei Jing's photo. ”What about this one? Did you run background checks on her? Is this her real name?”

”I did,” said Qi Xiu. ”She's a university graduate who has just returned from overseas. Her parents had both migrated. There's nothing too impressive about her background.” Qi Xiu glanced at the files once more. ”So, which one of them are we using, then?”

”Sign all three first. Ask them to be present at the dinner party the day after tomorrow.” The man flicked his fingers to dismiss Qi Xiu. Qi Xiu was just about to step outside when he heard a woman's voice coming out from somewhere on the Boss' body.

”Lala, lala! Time to pick up your phone, Brother Xunxun! Lala, lala! Time to pick up your phone, Brother Xunxun!”

Qi Xiu gathered all the files. Then, he left the office without taking a single peek. That was his Boss' private phone, and there seemed to be only one number in it. Every time that ringtone sounded, the Boss would pick up the phone no matter where he was or what he was doing.

Also... Whenever that ringtone sounded, the Boss' perpetually paralyzed face would always become soft and tender with emotion.

”It has to be a woman!” Qi Xiu thought, engaging his inner gossip. G.o.d only knew which woman had enough allure to have that kind of effect on the Boss.

Ah Sha sat inside the meeting room where a capable-looking woman dressed in a business suit was putting away a stack of contracts. ”From now on, you're a celebrity represented by Stars Entertainment. I'm in charge of the rookies. You can call me Sister Fang.”

”Sister Fang,” Ah Sha greeted the woman politely. Ah Sha could tell that despite the woman's stern appearance, the woman did not slight Ah Sha just because she was a rookie.

The door of the meeting room opened; a woman dressed in trendy clothes walked in. ”You wanted to see me, Sister Fang?”

”Nana, this is the new celebrity you'll be in charge of. You guys should get acquainted with each other.”

A look of dissatisfaction formed on Nana's face and she dragged Sister Fang to the doorway.

”Wasn't I supposed to be a.s.signed to Tang Yue? How come things have changed?”

”This is the company's arrangement.”

”Sister Fang! Manager Yuan gave me his word last time. He promised me that I'll be a.s.signed to Tang Yue!”

”Well, why don't you take it up to Manager Yuan, then...?”

Ah Sha's lips were pressed together into a tight line as she eavesdropped on the conversation going on outside. Several moments later, Ah Sha heard a loud bang. Nana had shoved the door open and was now walking back inside.

”I'm Zhou Na, your agent.” Zhou Na appraised Ah Sha from head to toe for a moment and found her mood turning slightly better.

Zhou Na had to bust her chops in order to persuade Fat Yuan to a.s.sign her to be Tang Yue's agent. Everyone in the company knew that there was something going on between Tang Yue and the big Boss; they were ongoing rumors that Tang Yue might be the woman whom the Boss was seeing. But now she ended up being a.s.signed to this Mei Jing after all that effort she had gone through. Deep down, Zhou Na was utterly enraged.

Luckily, this Mei Jing looked pretty. Then again, so what if she looked pretty? In this line of work, beauty could be found anywhere.

”As a rookie, I hope you'll listen to everything I tell you and fully conform to the company's plans. Don't use your beauty as an excuse to start showing me att.i.tude. Don't think you're now a star just because you've signed a contract with us. Right now, you're still a n.o.body.”

Ah Sha was not bothered at all by Zhou Na's att.i.tude. Instead, Ah Sha merely nodded. ”I'm aware of that.”

Seeing that Ah Sha at least knew her own place, Zhou Na could find nothing else to criticize. Zhou Na handed her a business card. ”Be at this store the day after tomorrow. Three o'clock in the afternoon,” Zhou Na said. ”That's where you'll pick out your dress for the company's dinner party.”
