I Am Really Rich - Chapter 7 - Doing Whatever I Want in the Entertainment Circle
What a truly beautiful face.
As they drew closer, the warm breath brushed against her cheek, and the atmosphere inexplicably took on a hint of ambiguity.
Shi Xing paused for a moment, then turned her face away with a smile, “What’s unfair about it? I’m planning to tease you several more times; wouldn’t it be a loss to take it back now?”
The young man chuckled, “Wen Xiangling.”
“What?”
“My name is Wen Xiangling.” He curved his attractive lips and released her hand, “President Shi should remember my name well.”
Shi Xing felt a lightness in her body as the pressure vanished. She rubbed her wrist and murmured, “You’ve got some nerve.”
Wen Xiangling smiled without speaking.
Shi Xing settled back into her leather sofa, smoothing her hair, “Your name is Wen Xiangling, right? I hope you can charm your fans like you did today.”
Wen Xiangling sat beside her, crossing his legs, looking at her with a playful smile.
“This building is mine, so you can choose any floor for your break room; I won’t interfere.”
“What if I need to find President Shi for something?”
Shi Xing tapped the table, “If it can be solved with money, come to me. If it can’t be solved with money, coming to me won’t help.”
She thought for a moment and added, “There shouldn’t be anything that can’t be solved with money.”
[Host, I remember you’re supposed to be here to repent. Why do I feel like you’re not repenting at all, but rather getting worse?]
Shi Xing ignored it, raising her eyelids slightly, “Anything else you need to ask?”
“Actors certainly get good treatment,” Wen Xiangling arched his handsome eyebrows, “But with such good treatment, why haven’t I seen any actors in the studio?”
Shi Xing raised an eyebrow, “Do you want competitors?”
“Depends on what’s being competed for. Is it for resources, or…” Wen Xiangling squinted, resting his head on his hand with a smile, “competing for President Shi?”
“There are no competitors for resources, but as for competing for me, there are probably countless. But if you look closely-”
Shi Xing gave him a once-over, finally reaching out to pinch Wen Xiangling’s chin, “You’re quite decent. How about it?”
“What?”
“Be my pretty boy. I’ll take care of you.”
Wen Xiangling was amused by her actions, letting her touch his face without resistance, and laughed, “Is this really President Shi’s taste?”
“I prefer your kind of calmness.” Shi Xing said, “Most men are eager to get close to me; I’m a bit tired of it. So I like men like you who aren’t swayed by money.”
“Truly an honor.”
Shi Xing looked at his indifferent demeanor, growing more fond of him.
She seemed to understand why the domineering CEOs in those novels always liked those stubborn, unyielding little fighters.
Others scramble to get close, but the little fighter remains unmoved.
Interesting.
A real tease.
“I just love your calm demeanor,” Shi Xing couldn’t help but rub his face with a smile, “Today’s report is over. How about joining me for dinner?”
Wen Xiangling reached out, gently rubbing her fingers with a smile, “I’d be delighted.”
Wen Xiangling’s fingers were slightly cool, and the sensation was comfortable as they brushed against Shi Xing’s fingers. She said, “I’ll have the secretary reserve the top floor at Sublimotion.”
“Sublimotion starts at forty thousand dollars per meal; President Shi is certainly generous.”
“But it’s just a meal… Wait,” Shi Xing paused, suddenly squinting her eyes, “Have you been there?”
“Just heard about it.”
Shi Xing gave him a once-over, seeing his calm demeanor, his beautiful eyes deep and unreadable.
She withdrew her gaze and said, “Then let’s try it out together today.”
Wen Xiangling stood up, slightly bowing as he extended his hand.
Shi Xing unceremoniously took his hand to stand up, smiling, “Your timing is perfect. Let’s go.”
[Hey host, do the task, host?! Host-]
The handsome young man and the young woman pushed open the studio door and walked out gracefully.
The System grumbled twice, finally accepting reality, and whimpered, [Wish you happiness. Boo hoo hoo…]
On the set of “Orange Turmoil,” everyone was busy.
Lin Yi had other notices today and would arrive at the set in the evening. Guan Tian sat on the sofa, her brow furrowed, lost in thought.
Suddenly, a woman appeared in her view, swaying her hips as she headed towards the break room.
“Wang Xueru?”
Guan Tian quickly stood up and followed.
After Shi Xing left yesterday afternoon, she had wanted to confront Shi Xing directly, but unexpectedly, Lin Yi, who always pampered her, actually shielded that shameless woman.
If Lin Yi hadn’t stopped her, she wouldn’t have risked being discovered by Lin Yi, and she wouldn’t have called Wang Xueru, swallowing her pride to inform her of the situation-
“Just a woman, and you can’t beat her?” Wang Xueru had mocked her, “Without Lin Yi’s help, what use do you think you have?”
Recalling Wang Xueru’s taunts, Guan Tian couldn’t help but clench her skirt.
A woman shamelessly seducing Lin Yi for resources, a tramp threatening to withdraw investment and demanding to sleep with him-if not for wanting to watch them tear each other apart…
She couldn’t swallow this anger!
Guan Tian took a deep breath, unsure if Wang Xueru had dealt with Shi Xing, and quickly called out behind her, “Senior Sister Xueru!”
Wang Xueru’s silhouette paused and soon turned around.
Her expression was quite cheerful, looking energetic, as she did whenever she successfully acquired something.
Guan Tian felt a surge of joy.
Although she disliked Wang Xueru, Wang Xueru’s presence could make Lin Yi favor her even more. Could it be…
“Senior Sister Xueru, did you find Shi Xing?”
“Shi Xing,” Wang Xueru fiddled with her newly done nails, “Found her, yeah. Why?”
“Because that woman seems to have a strong background, I was worried Senior Sister Xueru might suffer…” Guan Tian probed, “Senior Sister Xueru, are you okay?”
Wang Xueru’s eyes shifted, soon dismissively saying, “Would it make you unhappy if I were fine? Unfortunately, I’m perfectly fine, in a good mood today, too lazy to argue with you.”
“Oh, seeing Senior Sister Xueru is fine, I’m relieved.” Guan Tian relaxed her expression and quickly turned away.
It seemed things had indeed gone as she expected, perfectly resolved. Shi Xing and Wang Xueru, one of them had to suffer, or perhaps both would be defeated.
Though it was a bit disappointing not to see both defeated, she was quite satisfied with the current outcome.
However…
Things weren’t over yet.
Guan Tian took out her phone, having secretly copied the number from Lin Yi’s phone yesterday. She dialed it, and soon, the other end picked up.
“Hello.”
“Ah, hello, is this Shi Xing?” She softened her voice, “I’m Guan Tian.”
The voice on the other end was somewhat cold, seemingly in a bad mood, “What do you want?”
“Ah, it’s like this. I have a senior sister, named Wang Xueru, and yesterday I overheard her at the set saying she was going to find Shi Xing or something.”
The other end remained silent.
“She’s very cunning. I saw her today looking quite arrogant, maybe she schemed against you…”
She paused, her tone immediately carrying a hint of concern, “I’m worried you might be innocently harmed, so… would you like to meet tonight? I’m willing to help you.”
