C23 (1/2)

Tang Xiao Ei and Qin Junning quietly faced off against each other. From the moment they signed the contract, she knew that this man had changed.

He was no longer a strange stranger, but his immediate superior.

”Smile.” Qin Junning stared at her for a long time before spitting out a word.

Tang Xiao Yi looked at him calmly. Two seconds later, she smiled, showing a beautiful smile.

”Don't laugh like that.” Qin Junning raised his hand to pinch her chin, turned her face towards the big mirror, and said, ”This world doesn't owe you anything, smile happily for me.”

Tang Xiao Yi saw herself in the mirror. She was a stranger, separated by a layer of powder. It was like a layer of fog, and that flawless face in the makeup artist's hands was not hers.

Only his shadow could be seen in the depths of those eyes that were calm and distant.

As for the man holding her face, he was no longer the man who had a good temper while smiling at her. At this moment, he was staring at her in a commanding manner.

She tried to smile again, but her nose stung. Yes, the world didn't owe her anything, but she just wanted to cry.

”If you want to be a good artiste, you have to smile no matter the time, no matter how sad you are.” Qin Junning stood behind her, letting her face to face with the mirror, pinching her cheek as he whispered into her ear.

Her personality of having to hold back was indeed unsuitable for the entertainment circle. However, he would slowly nurture her. At the very least, he had to make her completely listen to him.

Tang Xiao Yi's face once again twitched as she revealed a smile.

”I should first find a teacher to train your smile.” Qin Junning could not see the smile in her eyes and said with a frown.

”Sorry.” Tang Xiao Yi finally spoke because she had suffered a lot of blows today. Her voice was dull and hoarse, without any clarity.

”Do you know? I hate it when people apologize to me the most. Please do it again with your standard smile. ” Qin Zheng straightened her face and said word by word in the mirror.

Tang Xiao Yi took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She suppressed her emotions and fiercely suppressed them.

Although some things were like springs, the harder they were suppressed, the stronger the rebound force would be, but she still used all her strength to restrain her emotions. A few seconds later, she opened her eyes and smiled towards the mirror.

”Good. Keep that smile on, at tonight's party.” Although Qin Junning wasn't too satisfied, he knew that Tang Xiaosi had done her best. If he forced her to go down again, she might collapse at the banquet.

Qin Gaoning released his grip and said to her, ”Hold me.”

Tang Xiao Ai obediently took hold of his arm. She needed to support herself in order to avoid falling down.

Two people appeared on the stairs leading to the second floor. The bustling scene turned completely silent as everyone raised their heads to look at them.

The man was very handsome, the model was tough and heroic, with every movement he made, he was unspeakably tugging at the air with his big hands.

The girl beside him was like a lotus blooming in water. The makeup artist mysteriously wiped away the haggard and exhausted look on her face, leaving behind only a tranquil and clear beauty.

The two of them seemed to be a perfect match, regardless of height or looks.

Was this the newbie that Qin Junning had just signed?

Everyone was using all kinds of eyes to size up Tang Xiaoyi. Her well-fitting and high-end dress accentuated her lithe figure. Her small face was pure and clear, but her eyes were empty and wooden, greatly reducing her overall score.

Zhong Yuqing was leaning against the balcony on the second floor. Finally, he turned around with a goblet in his hand and looked at the two men standing on the stairs.

From the front, Tang Xiao Ei seemed to be wearing a conservative and demure formal attire, but behind her back there was something else. The half-naked lace revealed her white skin, revealing the beautiful lines on her back. The butterfly bone made her even more enchanting.

Qin Gaoning was currently introducing the newcomers to everyone. He was leading Tang Xiaoyi down the stairs to introduce her future colleagues and companions.
