Chapter 24 - 24: 24: There’s a Big CEO Supporting from Behind
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Soon, Li Shengxiao’s black Bentley pulled up, and the CEO himself opened the car door for her, calling out, “Get in.”
As soon as Rong Yan sat down, a rush of warm air blew past her ear. Li Shengxiao leaned in and naturally fastened her seat belt, his soft, thin lips nearly grazing her cheek.
“All set.’
“…Thank you.”
Rong Yan now deeply regretted getting into the car; it felt too much like she had climbed into a bandit’s vehicle.
Luckily, Li Shengxiao just helped her with the seat belt and then stepped on the gas, focusing on driving. Otherwise, Rong Yan would have felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, unable to stay a second longer.
The car proceeded smoothly, and once they arrived at the destination, she dashed out like a rabbit and ran off.
“Thank you, Mr. Li!”
Li Shengxiao still heard the ‘thank you’ while he looked up to see her running into the company like the wind.
Li Shengxiao’s thin lips curled into a smile, watching the figure on the road vanish before withdrawing his gaze. His one hand gripped the steering wheel while the other took the Bluetooth earpiece from the side and placed it in his left ear. With his movement, a well-built, powerful wrist emerged from the sleeve of his suit, the sturdy wrist adorned with a designer watch, both sexy and elegant.
Li Shengxiao casually made a call.
The call was picked up almost instantly.
“I hear HuanYu is going to shoot ‘Return to Ning’?”
He had already checked the Rong Family’s situation. Rong Yan wanted to enter the entertainment industry but Rong Weiwei had been secretly tripping her up. If KT’s people were to shoot this movie, she should be very interested…
Every time Li Shengxiao thought of the determination igniting in those clear eyes, his mood improved.
The assistant on the phone was momentarily stunned, quickly searching his mind before finding some fuzzy information, “HuanYu seems to have bought the rights to ‘Return to Ning’…”
Since when did the big BOSS take interest in these trivial matters?
Li Shengxiao’s fingers tapped on the steering wheel, looking in the direction where Rong Yan disappeared, “Contact KT, the female lead of ‘Return to Ning’ should be one of our people.”
“Uh… Yes, Mr. Li!”
The assistant wanted to point out that the rights were in HuanYu’s hands, and if HuanYu were to shoot, they’d likely use their own artists for the main roles, not someone from KT. But since the big BOSS had spoken, he knew that this was something that must be accomplished at any cost!
Not long after Rong Yan got out of the car, a call from KT came in.
She took her phone out of her bag, checked the caller ID, and answered, “Hello,
Estelle.”
Estelle was the director at KT Entertainment responsible for newcomers; most newly signed artists did not have agents and were managed by the HR department.
One wouldn’t get their own agent until they had made a name for themselves, and such agents typically handled seven or eight artists at a time. Only when one reached a certain mid-tier celebrity status would they have their own exclusive agent.
Rong Weiwei was different. When Rong Weiwei had joined the entertainment industry, the way had been paved for her, meticulously planning her debut performance. Rong Weiwei had had smooth sailing ever since.
“Why didn’t you pick up your phone just now?”
“Uh, I didn’t see my phone just now. What’s the matter, Estelle?” Rong Yan quite liked this artist manager; she was a typical strong woman who was strictly business with everyone. In a place as fraught with conflicting interests as the entertainment industry, to meet someone like her was no easy feat. After all, most were like Rong Weiwei, who would stop at nothing to climb the ladder, often treating newcomers without fame poorly.
“Nothing much, I received a notice from above, telling all the company’s female artists to attend a meeting. Have you arrived at the company yet? If you have, go directly to the conference room on the fourth floor.”
A meeting?
What meeting?
Rong Yan was extremely puzzled but quickly responded on the phone, “I’m just downstairs at the company now, I’ll head up right away. Thank you, Estelle.”
Estelle had a fairly good impression of her and seeing that she was polite and not troublesome, she added unusually, “It’s probably good news. Hurry on up.”
“Okay.”
Rong Yan hung up the phone and rushed to the elevator, heading straight for the conference room….
