Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Huo Yunshen was in charge of Yunhai Entertainment, but he also owned half the shares of Juxing Entertainment. He had recommended these two companies because he wanted to sign her under his own name and manage everything for her.
Huo Yunshen believed in giving the person he loved the best life possible.
Xu Xiyan quickly shook her head. “No, thank you for your kind offer. For the time being, I don’t want to enter Yunhai or Juxing.”
“Why?”
Huo Yunshen was puzzled. There were many actors who were trying everything they could to enter Yunhai or Juxing, and they still didn’t have a chance.
And yet, she didn’t want this rare opportunity...?
The fact was, Xu Xiyan’s father was a film director working under Yunhai, her sister a star actress with Juxing, and her brother-in-law, Chu Yuhe, the president of Juxing.
So no matter how he looked at it, if Xu XIyan wanted to enter the entertainment circle, either Yunhai or Juxing should be her first choice.
But Huo Yunshen didn’t understand Xu Xiyan’s situation with her family. He had paid special attention to the Xu Family and other people like Chu Yuhe because he cared for Xu Xiyan.
If she were to let him know that his “good intentions” had been inconveniencing her instead of helping her, he probably would’ve burst a blood vessel.
“I know that Yunhai and Juxing are good, but I don’t want to depend on my family’s connections. I want to climb the ladder with my own efforts and achieve my goals by myself. Thank you for your kindness.”
For the time being, Xu Xiyan had no way of explaining her family situation with regards to Juxing to Huo Yunshen. She could only politely decline his kindness.
“...” Huo Yunshen was surprised that she was so ambitious. It was clear that she possessed a lot of easily accessible resources, and yet she chose to find another way.
She was really a special woman, and he had been right about her.
Since she didn’t want to join Yunhai or Juxing, Huo Yunshen had another plan to keep her.
“I know of another company. It’s an alternative and independent company in the entertainment industry. Although they’re not famous, the company is well-connected. They’re gaining traction within the industry. If you are interested, I can introduce you to them.”
“Is it owned by one of your friends, too?” Xu Xiyan asked suspiciously.
Huo Yunshen had grown familiar with her temper. He knew that she didn’t want to have anything to do with his overbearing support. “Well the truth is, he is my friend, but he’s also my competitor.”
Xu Xiyan became interested when she heard that it was an independent and alternative company run by Huo Yunshen’s competitor.
“What company is it?”
“Jingyue Entertainment.”
She hadn’t heard of it. So it was really a new company.
There was a “Jing” word in the name, and it sounded like her mother’s name.
Jingyue, Jing Ru Yue...
Somehow Xu Xiyan felt a connection to it.
“Sounds good. Where are they located?”
“When are you free? I’ll take you there!”
Xu Xiyan thought about her schedule. Only tomorrow was free. “How about tomorrow? Do you have time then?”
“Yes, I should have some time.”
For Xu Xiyan, he would always make time.
“That settles it then.” Xu Xiyan stood up, tugging on the hem of her pajamas. “I should go back. Could you get the driver to send me home?”
Huo Yunshen raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was nearly midnight.
“It’s already 12 o’clock. If you go back now, you’ll have to trouble your friend to open the door for you. Why don’t you call her up and tell her you’re not coming back? I have a lot of rooms, and you can stay here for the time being. When morning comes, we can go to Jingyue Entertainment together.”
What a persuasive argument to get her to stay!
