Xi Hongxia didn’t mind talking about her past, for those were all ironclad facts.
In just a few words, she summarized what others considered an absurd first half of her life, yet she didn’t utter a word about the hardship within.
Then, she spoke slowly.
"I want to beco a star, but I’m not willing to be labeled as a ’socialite.’ I can use my appearance to gain resources, but I refuse to let others negotiate any deals with it. I can make money, I can bring lots of achievents and revenue to a company, but if the people at the company can’t protect , or if their dirty hands dare to reach for , then I will surely fight them tooth and nail!"
Xi Hongxia wrapped her long hair around her finger and let out a light laugh, "These thoughts might seem like a pipe dream to others, and that’s why I haven’t signed with any company yet! Until yesterday, when I ca to Xingyue..."
Yan Yueqing listened with interest, "You think that Xingyue can et your demands?"
Xi Hongxia shook her head slowly, "In fact, I don’t think any company can et my demands, however... the boss of Xingyue is you! President Yue, I don’t like to place hope or emotional investnt in a person, but if that person is you... I want to give it a try."
"?" Yan Yueqing felt sowhat incredulous. "You trust that much?"
"The changes at Zhongxing are so great, I don’t think it’s just because of the new boss parachuting in... it’s even possible that Boss Jiang was also taking orders from soone else! President Yue... I have a guess, and after eting you, I’m even more certain of it. I wouldn’t dare to claim anything else, but at least in Xingyue, as long as I’m unwilling, you would be able to protect from being hard by those wealthy capitalists."
Yan Yueqing lifted the corners of her lips slightly, not denying her words.
She took a sip of tea and then drew out her words, "That depends on... how much benefit you can bring to the company."
Xi Hongxia understood and stood up happily, her face beaming with a smile, "President Yue, rest assured, I will bring my best state to my work!"
Yan Yueqing extended her hand, "Pleasure doing business."
Their slender, fair hands clasped, Yan Yueqing was very clear that a new entertainnt superstar was about to rise.

"Ah? You really signed Xi Hongxia?"
Over the phone, Min Zixian’s tone sounded so incredulous, "Yueqing, when I did the investigation for you, I felt that Xi Hongxia was hard to control. She changes partners more often than clothes. Do you really expect her to stick with the company for long?"
Yan Yueqing, holding the phone, laughed, "Is that a bad thing? A smart woman is like a washing machine, she soaks when she sees a fit and spins out clean when done, it’s for the best for everyone."
Min Zixian laughed herself into a hiccup on the other end of the phone, "Yueqing, what kind of analogy is that hahaha?"
"Just a spontaneous thought~ Xi Hongxia is not bad, having many relationships doesn’t have to be a stain on her. Besides, none of her past boyfriends has badmouthed her after breaking up; this goes to show that Xi Hongxia’s character is quite trustworthy. There’s no need to compare n to companies. I can tell, she really values the chance to be a star."
Upon further thought, Min Zixian agreed, "The world is too harsh on won these days. If a male star dates a dozen won, the fans all praise how charming ’my bro’ is! But if a female star dates a few, right away there’ll be haters accusing her of being promiscuous. I don’t get it, isn’t it all just normal dating? As long as she’s not interfering, overlapping, or cheating, who is she bothering? The scariest part is these words co from so won’s mouths, feels like they’ve been dosticated..."
Yan Yueqing chuckled, "I understand Xi Hongxia’s thinking. n are just tools to keep hormones in check, not to be taken too seriously. I rather like her business mind, it’s better than being lovesick."
Speaking of being lovesick, Min Zixian sighed, "Now that you put it that way, I’m not worried about Xi Hongxia anymore. Instead, I’m quite worried about Xu ngjie..."
"What’s wrong with her?"
"She’s a bit lovesick..."
