"Hey beauty, let’s reintroduce ourselves. I’m ng Changkun from Hao ng Film and Television."
Lu Liang squinted his eyes with a smile, knowing that navigating the world requires a few small backup personas.
Old ng’s na wasn’t a bad choice. After all, being a local big shot in Modu for decades, he’s got contacts in every industry.
"You know Mr. Wu?" Tian Xi was suddenly confused, unable to tell if Lu Liang was the real deal or not.
Hao ng Film and Television isn’t very well-known in the industry, yet at the sa ti well-known because it’s a subordinate of Tianxing Investnt.
For any film investnt by Tianxing, Hao ng Film and Television is involved. There are rumors that the boss is friends with Lu Liang.
If it’s Hao ng Film and Television, then Lu Liang’s stories of investing in First Rich, War Wolf, and dicine God make sense.
"Wu Tianzheng? We’re from the sa company, so of course, I know him." Lu Liang smiled with a hint of amusent.
Tian Xi snapped out of it and quickly apologized, "I’m sorry, Mr. ng, I thought that you were..."
She hesitated to finish her sentence, so Lu Liang smilingly completed it for her, "Just a sleazy guy trying to hit on you?"
"No, definitely not at all."
Tian Xi looked embarrassed, recalling she was still wearing her mask and sunglasses, which seed impolite, so she hurriedly removed them.
A pair of bright, clear eyes, as if hiding brilliant stars, her skin was pale as snow, her features delicate, like a blooming flower.
"Ahem, sorry, I’ve caught a bit of a cold lately." Lu Liang showed appreciation but used the cough as an excuse to keep his mask on.
"The weather this year is unusually hot; many of my friends have caught this sumr cold. Mr. ng, you should take care of yourself."
Upon learning that ng Changkun was from Hao ng Film and Television, Tian Xi showed great care, even helping him find excuses.
The entertainnt industry values personal connections; she didn’t expect ng Changkun to promote her right away.
She just hoped he could rember her, in case she had the chance to attend a Hao ng Film and Television audition one day.
And when ng Changkun happens to see her, even with a brief encounter, it’s better than being a stranger.
"It’s nothing serious, almost better, just a slight cough left."
Lu Liang coughed a few more tis feigning sickness, then suddenly asked, "Xiao Tian, what are you doing in Tokyo?"
"I have a brand endorsent. Got so spare ti, so the company let go try it out." Tian Xi replied truthfully.
"You’re doing quite well, getting an endorsent in Neon before debuting." Lu Liang was surprised.
"Actually, it’s not a Neon product, but you could say it is. It’s registered in Tokyo, produced dostically, then packaged as an imported product for sale."
Tian Xi explained while flustered; there’s a term for this practice, but she just couldn’t recall it.
"Export turned inward sale." Lu Liang couldn’t help but laugh.
"Yes, yes, exactly that."
Realizing that ng Changkun was older but easygoing, Tian Xi boldly asked, "Mr. ng, do you have work in Tokyo too?"
"Just discussing so collaborations with a company over there."
Hearing this, Tian Xi braced herself to ask, "Mr. ng, is it related to film collaboration?"
Lu Liang shook his head, "No, it’s just so personal business with friends over there."
"Oh~" Tian Xi was suddenly deflated.
Lu Liang chuckled, "What? Disappointed?"
"Of course, I thought I might get a chance to recomnd myself." Tian Xi propped her cheeks with her hands, looking wistful.
She’s already 21, and her future debut is still unknown.
"You’ll definitely make it." Lu Liang said earnestly.
"Are you seeing a superstar aura in ?" Tian Xi’s eyes lit up.
Lu Liang examined her carefully from head to toe, "Seems like you have a bit of it."
"Spill it, once heard, it won’t be passed on."
Tian Xi suddenly took off her shoes and sat cross-legged, excitent written all over her face, "I love hearing others praise . You wouldn’t know, I have over 20,000 followers on Weibo. I basically reply to every comnt, every ssage, but unfortunately, two-thirds were bought on Taobao."
Lu Liang restrained his smile and seriously said, "You’re very pretty, and you have a great figure."
"Hmm hmm, and then?"
"Most importantly, you don’t seem particularly bright, so you’ll definitely get famous sooner or later."
"???" Tian Xi puffed her cheeks in anger, "Are you complinting or mocking ?"
"Complinting you."
"I don’t believe it."
The two of them played a staring contest, with Lu Liang remaining silent until Tian Xi couldn’t help but ask, "Why don’t you explain yourself?"
Normally, when she expresses disbelief, the guys she’s chatting with would try hard to convince her.
"Because there’s nothing to explain." Lu Liang laughed, putting on an eye mask, "I’m tired, I’ll take a nap now."
As his vision went dark, a cold huff ca from beside him, accompanied by Tian Xi’s muttering, "I’ll nap too."
The cabin suddenly fell silent, and an hour later, the plane safely landed at Haneda Airport.
Seeing that Lu Liang was about to leave, Tian Xi quickly called out, "Mr. ng, can I have your V? Let’s keep in touch."
"Sure, you can scan ."
"Isn’t it M?"
Tian Xi furrowed her brows, still puzzled as to why ng Changkun’s WeChat nickna was "L," but when she looked up, he had already walked far away.
Infuriated, she stomped her foot, looking indignant: "Who does he think he is? When I beco famous, I won’t accept any projects from Hao ng Film and Television, hmph, that’s how capricious I am."
Before long, Tian Xi retrieved her luggage from the conveyor belt and saw Sister Liu, her agent, at the arrivals gate. She hurried over.
Sister Liu looked impatient: "Even getting off a plane, you’re so slow. Don’t you know ti is money?"
"Sister Liu, I’m sorry, sothing ca up just now." Tian Xi apologized with a wry smile.
"What could you possibly have going on?" Sister Liu asked coldly, deliberately trying to exert her authority over Tian Xi.
A sapling must be pruned to grow straight; a rookie must be kept in line, lest they beco too large for their boots once they make it big.
The company’s approach to nurturing newcors was consistently about keeping them under control until they beca famous, including but not limited to belittling their character to ensure they didn’t forget their roots once they were successful.
Tian Xi was stubborn, she knew she was wrong and sincerely apologized. But when the other side didn’t accept it, she wouldn’t just blindly endure it, so she said outright, "I just t Mr. ng from Hao ng Film and Television on the plane."
"Hao ng Film and Television? Mr. ng?"
Sister Liu thought carefully and smirked: "With your intelligence, you’ve probably been conned and are even helping to count the conman’s money."
She had dealt with Wu Tianzheng a few tis and knew there were only a few people at Hao ng Film and Television who could be called ’Mr.,’ but no one had the surna ng.
Tian Xi widened her eyes, utterly incredulous: "Could ng Changkun be lying to ? But how does he know so much?"
Sister Liu was taken aback again, urgently asking: "You said you t Fatty ng from Kunqian Trade on the plane?"
"Fatty? But he’s not fat at all~"
Tian Xi was at a loss, completely confused.
The person on the plane was at most robust, not at all fat.
Sister Liu pondered, her eyes growing brighter: "So, you’re saying soone’s impersonating Fatty ng’s identity to swindle people?"
She realized this was an opportunity to et ng Changkun and hurriedly contacted friends and family to get ng Changkun’s personal phone number.
"Hello, Mr. ng, I’m Little Liu from Jiahui dia, yes, yes, we’ve t before."
Sister Liu smiled broadly, her face full of flattery.
"Xiao Tian is a newcor at our company. If she said anything wrong on the plane, I ask for your understanding, and I apologize on her behalf."
"Ah~ you weren’t flying, then who was that person? How did he claim to be Mr. ng from Kunqian, and said he’s a friend of Mr. Wu from Hao ng?"
Tian Xi frowned, tugging on Sister Liu’s sleeve, hoping she wouldn’t fuel the flas further. After all, he only said he was ng Changkun from Hao ng Film and never ntioned Kunqian Trade.
Sister Liu wasn’t swayed, filled with righteous indignation: "That person is really vile, daring to impersonate Mr. ng. It’s just because our Xiao Tian is naive that she believed his nonsense."
Opportunities are for those who pursue them; if she didn’t say this, Fatty ng surely wouldn’t investigate further, and without investigation, how would she owe him a favor?
"Mr. ng, you’re asking about the person’s features?" Sister Liu glared at Tian Xi, her gaze filled with threat.
Now everyone was in the sa boat, and if she dared spoil Sister Liu’s plan, she would definitely pay a price.
Tian Xi didn’t want to speak, but after Sister Liu stepped on her foot, she had no choice but to say, "Mr. ng, I’m Xiao Tian. That person was quite tall and strong, probably about 1.8 ters, with eyebrows resembling Ren Xianqi, and he had a bit of a southern accent."
"Anything else? Nothing more?" ng Changkun’s voice ca through the receiver, and it was evident he was trying hard to suppress his anger.
After so many years in Modu, it was the first ti soone dared to impersonate his na to deceive people; it was like an old man eating arsenic, courting death.
Tian Xi felt imnse pressure because it was apparent the person seed to be well-connected; if he knew the other person’s WeChat ID, the outco might not be so good for that person.
Her foot was pricked again, and Sister Liu said sinisterly, "Xiao Tian, just say what you know, Mr. ng will support you."
Tian Xi gritted her teeth and truthfully said, "Actually, I added his WeChat; the nickna is L, and the avatar is a golden bull."
The phone went silent suddenly; Sister Liu couldn’t help but whisper, "Mr. ng, are you still there?"
"Hm, that’s enough, it’s not a big deal."
ng Changkun laughed dryly, his voice suddenly odd, as if he was trying hard to hold back laughter.
Sister Liu sharply sensed and asked, "Mr. ng, is he a friend of yours?"
"Find out for yourself. Quite busy, hanging up."
Listening to the busy signal on the other end,
Sister Liu looked dumbfounded and utterly confused.
Tian Xi seed to understand, quietly asking, "Sister Liu, is Mr. ng friends with that person?"
"Nine tis out of ten."
"Then why wouldn’t Mr. ng admit it?"
"Yeah, was it that he wouldn’t say, or was he afraid to say?"
Sister Liu’s previously dim eyes suddenly brightened again, smiling in servility: "Xixi, quickly try to rember any more details about that person?"
At the very least, ng Changkun was worth billions and was famous in Modu, so the person’s background was probably even more significant if ng didn’t dare to na him.
Tian Xi, a sapling just sprouting, might very well beco her cash cow with this opportunity, so naturally, her attitude had to change.
"He wore a mask and a hat the entire ti, I only know he had eyebrows like Ren Xianqi," Tian Xi showed a hint of disdain in her eyes. Just a mont ago, she was like an evil stepmother; now, she suddenly beca a doting mother.
But her heart felt inexplicably satisfied, as nothing is more enjoyable than seeing an enemy grovel.
"You have his WeChat, don’t you? Take the ti to chat more, one more friend, one more path." Sister Liu laughed.
"We’ll see."
