133 Graceful Munching (2/2)
Ye Shuang munched on the cookies gracefully even though her appetite had nothing to do with grace. Listening to the sincerity in the little star's words of appreciation, Ye Shuang's eyes turned into crescents. ”It was nothing; I just happened to be there. I couldn't watch and let you get hurt, could I?”
Then, she paused to slap away the crumbs that were left on her fingers before asking with concern, ”By the way, I noticed you haven't been chatting with others during the dinner… Are you not used to these kinds of dinner parties?”
”Actually, it's because I'm not close to anyone, so I didn't know who to talk to.” The little star touched her hair. ”The plan was to have senior make the introductions, but he has been so busy, so…”
This is weird… Ye Shuang was intrigued. Based on common knowledge, the people from the entertainment business should have known a thing or two about socializing. Yes, Luo Mingxin was indeed the best person for the girl to get to know, but even without Luo Mingxin, there were so many other choices at the party. Making acquaintances with some of them would be immensely helpful to her career.
Based on the girl's performance in the hall, it was wrong to say that she was naïve. She paid Luo Mingxin a visit at the set, tried to stick close to Luo Mingxin, and even prepared to pose when the reporters wanted to take picture. She had obviously come prepared.
But to say that she was making use of others, other than Luo Mingxin, she did not go after anyone else. Even when Mr. Lu came to help her earlier, she did not know how to make use of that opportunity.
Ye Shuang smiled and turned the topic around to make a self-introduction. ”I'm Ye Shuang. I'm not a local, but I suppose I'm still close with some people here. If you don't mind, I'll help you make some introductions to a few friends of mine. By the way, what's your name?”
”My family name is Mo, and I was born in spring1, so my name is Mo Xiao Xia. Miss Ye, are you serious‽”
Mo…
The clogs turned in Ye Shuang's brain. Wait, the boss of Luo Mingxin's current agency has this surname, doesn't he‽
Therefore, with an even gentler smile, Ye Shuang probed, ”You are Tian Mo Media's boss'…”
”Oh, he's my uncle.” Mo Xiao Xia smiled cutely, not at all intending to hide her secret from the kind and friendly big sister. She added, ”I just graduated from the Communication University of China. Uncle told me to follow Senior Luo first to get my name out there before he can find me some good scripts.”
Does your uncle know you're so gullible? Ye Shuang chuckled. ”Your senior doesn't know that, right?”
Mo Xiao Xia gasped in surprise. ”Sister Ye, please don't tell anyone else! I forgot my uncle warned me from releasing this info to others.”
I knew Luo Mingxin's agency would not promote an unheard-of newbie for no reason. Furthermore, it is the type that doesn't know how to make use of an opportunity, the type that is easily tricked.
After sharing that first secret with Ye Shuang and feeling that she was trustworthy, a dam seemed to break in Mo Xiao Xia's heart. In a few words, Ye Shuang had heard everything about Mo Xiao Xia.
The girl had the assumption that her Senior Luo was someone who would help her enter the entertainment world—this was something that her uncle and Celebrity Luo's agent had instilled in her. However, the girl had no idea her senior actually looked down on her and refused to help her every time.
Other than that, Ye Shuang realized that Mo Xiao Xia was not signed to any agency. After all, Tian Mo Media did not belong to her uncle alone. So, the original plan had been for her to make a few films to raise her value, and then her uncle could offer her a more valuable contract and have Luo Mingxin's current agent look after her.
This was the reason the agent was so 'helpful'. The boss' niece had the company's full support, which equaled a bright future for him.
”Haha…” This time Ye Shuang laughed earnestly. This was a new artist who was backed by the full resources of a whole company.
Like the gray wolf, Ye Shuang put on a kind smile and started to persuade the innocent red riding hood. ”Xiao Xia, listen to me. The agent that your uncle assigned to you is actually a bit… hmm, actually, you can ask your senior directly about these things—it is not my place to reveal such information. However, if you trust me, I can introduce you another free agent.”
”Huh‽”spring = xia
