Chapter 233 - I’ll Help You Become A Queen (1)
Friday came just a day before Xi Qian's entrance exam. Su Xiaofei invited her best friend to hang out in a nearby mall. She also wanted to see what the current trend was and if she would be able to meet Zhao Yi, her previous talent manager.
Xi Qian easily agreed as she wanted to relax before the big day. She was confident that she was ready to face tomorrow's papers.
As they were checking out the newly released trendy clothes at several boutiques, Xi Qian noticed that Su Xiaofei stopped on her tracks and looked at the other side of the mall. She followed her best friend's gaze and saw Ye Mingyu being accompanied by her two classmates and was talking to a woman in her late twenties with a proud smile on her face.
"Huh? I haven't seen Ye Mingyu for some time. If I didn't see her today, I would have thought that she left school already." She commented next to Su Xiaofei.
"What is it, Feifei? Do you know who that woman is?" She asked when she saw that Su Xiaofei was more interested in the woman talking to Ye Mingyu, ignoring the latter. They watched as the woman handed Ye Mingyu a card before leaving.
"Hmm, just a guess. It seems like she's a talent scout." Su Xiaofei answered Xi Qian's question.
"Oh? So does this mean she's trying to scout Ye Mingyu to become a celebrity?"
Xi Qian thought that with Ye Mingyu's personality and looks, she could easily fool anyone into thinking that she had a potential to become a celebrity, but since Xi Qian was biased towards her best friend, she would say that Su Xiaofei was way more eye-catching than Ye Mingyu.
Ye Mingyu was known as a campus belle at QCA along with Su Xiaofei. She was part of the cream of the crop and had a lot of suitors around her, but Xi Qian knew that Ye Mingyu's gentle personality was just a facade and that she was hiding a rotten heart behind that 'angelic' mask.
"Who knows." Su Xiaofei shrugged and leaned against the handrail while taking a sip from her cold drink. "But how could Ye Mingyu accept an offer to become a trainee when she's going overseas to pursue her studies?"
"So the rumors about her leaving the country are true?" Xi Qian gasped. "Scholarship, my ass. Her father could have stolen Aunty Qing's money and used it to fund her studies abroad." She scowled as she thought of how Su Haoran and Ye Mingyu's family had tried to scam her Aunty Qing by sending Ye Mingyu to live with them.
"What about her mother? Is she still alive?" She asked Su Xiaofei.
"No idea. Last thing I heard was that Housekeeper Chen made a scene in their house and had a fight with her. The old woman was accusing Ye Mingyu for ruining Chen Li's life with her lies."
The same woman who was talking to Ye Mingyu earlier was named Zhao Yi and in Su Xiaofei's past life, she was the one who discovered and scouted Su Xiaofei to become a celebrity. However, before she became Su Xiaofei's manager, she had worked with Ye Mingyu first.
Just like Su Xiaofei, Ye Mingyu was scouted by Zhao Yi. Under her guidance, Ye Mingyu easily became one of the most sought after young actresses after her debut.
However, once Zhao Yi got involved in a drug scandal and was falsely accused of selling her talents to prostitution, Ye Mingyu got rid of her, earning sympathy and pity from the public at the same time.
Su Xiaofei had taken Zhao Yi under her wing, not because she pitied the woman, but because she knew how capable Zhao Yi was and the allegations about her weren't able to stand in court due to the lack of evidence.
As Zhao Yi turned to leave, pleased that she was able to meet Ye Mingyu today, she suddenly halted when someone took her attention from a distance. A young, beautiful woman caught her eye. Compared to the one she met earlier, this one was truly a breathtaking beauty.
The young woman was smiling with a beautiful set of white teeth and pink lips to her companion, while holding a lemonade cup with one hand. She was leaning lazily against the handrail, but it made her look appealing in one's eyes.
Just like Ye Mingyu, this young beauty seemed to come from the same school. Same school uniform, yet this young woman made it look expensive and elegant. Zhao Yi had seen a lot of beauties ever since she started working in the entertainment industry, but she hadn't seen a woman who could be this enchanting, aside from Bai Qingyue.
If she was able to scout this young beauty, Zhao Yi only needed to find out if she had other talents to offer. Anyway, being beautiful is one thing, but it wasn't enough to succeed in the industry.
Zhao Yi decided to seek this young woman and introduce herself.
"Hello! I'm Zhao Yi, a talent manager from Top Tier Entertainment. May I know if you are interested in becoming a celebrity? With your excellent looks, I'm sure the camera would love you." She introduced herself to Su Xiaofei nervously as she gave the young woman a good look up close.
Zhao Yi noticed that Su Xiaofei wasn't wearing any makeup and her skin was smooth and dewy. Her height was a little shorter than Ye Mingyu, but her cool countenance was enough to make one appreciate her beauty.
"Top Tier Entertainment is known to produce A-list celebrities and some queens. As long as you are willing to join our company, I'll help you become a queen one day!"
Zhao Yi was quite eager to have Su Xiaofei sign under their company. She had already started thinking of various ways to polish this rare diamond she just found.
"A queen, you say, huh?" Su Xiaofei's lips curled into a slight smile.
