120 He Didnst Tell You? (1/2)

Even among other celebrities, Luo Mingxin was an idol. He had several awards for best actor under his belt and was of the few rare Asian superstars who were loved by the western media. Luo Mingxin's position in the industry could not be understated.

Of those who just entered the field, there were none who did not view Luo Mingxin as a mountain that could not be climbed and the highest target that they were working toward. Therefore, although the young man was still grousing about missing the audition a minute ago, when he saw his own idol slow down his car and roll down his window to greet him, he did not know how to react.

Luo Mingxin nodded at the young man and Luo Ce, who recognized him, before moving his gaze to Ye Shuang. He asked with a smile, ”Doing something with your friends tonight?”

Ye Shuang was confused. ”Technically, we have something to do with you tonight as well… Erm, I mean, I'm treating everyone to dinner tonight, did Director Zhou not inform you?”

Luo Mingxin was shocked. He turned to ask for his phone from his assistant. He flipped through his inbox, and there was indeed a message from Director Zhou. Luo Mingxin smiled apologetically. ”I didn't notice this. There's supposed to be a business ball that I'm required to attend tonight… But, oh well. Where and when?”

A ball was rejected just like that. Then again, he had the power to do so. If this was Luo Ce and the young man, the ball would have been an important chance to socialize—perhaps they might run into a sponsor who would be willing to invite them for an endorsement or commercial. However, in Luo Mingxin's eyes, a ball was no different than a dinner. In fact, he thought it was more tiring than a dinner.

After Ye Shuang gave the name of the restaurant and time, she added jokingly, ”Actually, we can meet up another time. After all, we'll see each other during shooting anyway and I'm afraid you'll offend someone if you miss out on the ball.”

”Offend? Who in the country doesn't know that I have a broken leg? Due to the injury, I can't drink alcohol and can't even stand for long.” Luo Mingxin smirked coldly, probably reminded of someone. ”Making nice with the sponsors is not a bad thing, but at the end of the day, the artist should be the most important. Certain people wish to sell me out for money, but that also depends on whether I'm willing to give them that face or not.”

The personal assistant pulled on Luo Mingxin's sleeves surreptitiously, and that earned him a glare from the man. The assistant immediately shrunk back to the corner of his seat.

Looks like this is family business… Ye Shuang smiled, pretending not to hear the words unsaid. ”Then, we'll see Brother Luo tonight. By the way, this is Brother Luo, my family. He's now an agent. If Brother Luo sees him in the future, please take good care of him.”

Luo Mingxin was tickled. ”This is the first time someone asked me to take care of someone so directly. Sure, but don't waste that enormous courage of yours, remember to show that courage during the scene in a few days.”

Luo Mingxin did not promise anything, but at least his tone was not bad. Luo Ce was satisfied with this result, and even the young artist had his face full of smiles. Luo Mingxin did not really want to attend the so-called ball, and he stopped the car when he saw Ye Shuang on the way there. Since there was a dinner tonight, he had every reason to skip the ball tonight and told his driver to turn around.

Ye Shuang stopped the man. ”You're going back to the bungalow? Perfect, Director Zhou said that we need to help arrange a scene for this young man. If Brother Luo is returning to the set, do you mind taking him with you to meet the set manager?”

The young man who was pointed out almost fainted on the spot. Even Luo Mingxin, who had witness Ye Shuang's courage earlier, was speechless. ”You want me to give him a ride?”

You want an Asian superstar to give someone else a ride? Perfection! No one has dared to make this demand of me yet.

”Well, your words are heavier than mine. We don't have a big favor to ask, just that you'll take good care of him back at the set.” Ye Shuang smiled, not hiding the fact that she was using Celebrity Luo.

Did her demand go a little bit too far? Not really. Even though he was a superstar, even though he would not normally promise to help others, giving someone a ride was not really much of a favor. Giving a friend a ride was nothing, and even if it was not a friend, if the person insisted on being close to him, what else could he do? Reject it by claiming it would waste his gas? But the key thing was no one had dared to do such a thing to him before…
