Who would want to fight those demonic beasts day in and day out?
If she could become a star, then she could support herself and not be under the control of her brother.
Shao Xue Cong stood up straight, showed her badge, steadied her voice and spoke softly.
"I'm sorry for the intrusion, but we need to gather more information from Zhang Xi about what had happened."
Robert Lee nodded his head and gave her a smile.
Such a gentle girl-next-door vibe.
Her high-pitched voice confirmed what he thought about Shao Xue Cong.
"Come have a seat and drink after the long travel." Robert Lee said and glanced at the secretary.
The secretary took his cue and quickly got to work.
"Oh, bring out the special." Robert Lee added as he smirked.
I must get these two on board by all possible means. He thought.
Lin Xuan Qi who was standing by the side, didn't think much about Shao Xue Cong's sudden change of demeanor.
Guess no one can reject the attraction of becoming a star. He thought.
At least he wasn't one; he'd only gotten on the shows to try and earn money.
Fame and glamor? Forget about it.
It was best for him to live quietly by himself.
They proceeded to sit down at the meeting table and Zhang Xi was nearly in tears.
Finally, she got to meet Lin Xuan Qi in person again.
"I er... want to thank you so much for saving my life." Zhang Xi stood up and said.
She wanted to go and give him a hug but stopped herself.
Somehow, she felt shy now, with so many pairs of eyes looking on, compared to the time when she held on tightly when Lin Xuan Qi carried her on his back.
"I didn't do much. I only tried to carry you while you were stunned." Lin Xuan Qi tried to stay consistent with his statement and downplayed his involvement.
Robert Lee's eyes widened when he learned that Lin Xuan Qi was the one who saved Zhang Xi.
"So, you two know each other? Great. Young folks like you should make more friends." He said and glanced over at Zhang Xi.
Zhang Xi was timid and didn't have lots of friends.
That's why he allocated the plump agent to her.
Thinking that the assertive plump agent would be able to help her.
In the end it was a mistake, and now, maybe Lin Xuan Qi could be that special person to help her advance.
Robert Lee's mind started to come up with headlines of how Zhang Xi and Lin Xuan Qi were together.
Making waves and getting attention was his forte.
"I er..." Zhang Xi stammered and waited for Lin Xuan Qi's response.
Before Lin Xuan Qi could do so, the door to the meeting room opened.
The secretary came back with a bottle of wine.
She proceeded to open it and poured a cup of wine each.
All except Shao Xue Cong as she was too young and had to settle for a cup of warm milk.
"This bottle of wine is a special edition from the wine master, Mister Louise. It cost me $10K to procure it. Hope you enjoy it."
Shao Xue Cong sulked as she didn't have the chance to savor such extravagance.
She could only drink her cup of warm milk alone.
Zhang Xi blushed and held up her cup to Lin Xuan Qi.
Lin Xuan Qi nodded and toasted back.
He drank the cup of wine in a mouthful.
It solidified his view about not wanting all the fame and glamor as the wine went down his throat.
Why would anyone like this? He thought as he tried very hard not to show any expression.
He would take drinking a mug of cheap beer any day over it.
Slap.
Robert Lee slapped his bald head again when he saw Lin Xuan Qi's reaction.
He was too experienced not to know what Lin Xuan Qi was thinking.
The only thing he could do now was to let Zhang Xi do the talking.
"I think it's time for us to get going. My brother... Captain is waiting for us." Shao Xue Cong said as she looked at her watch.
Robert Lee nodded and walked over to Shao Xue Cong.
Shao Xue Cong sat up straight again.
"Here's my business card and if you ever want to, consider joining my talent agency."
"What?"
Shao Xue Cong couldn't believe her ears when she heard Robert Lee.
Suddenly, Robert Lee looked more handsome, and his tattoos even looked cute.
"Sure, let me consider it first." She wanted to agree on the spot, but she remembered that adults don't do that, they always try to play hard to get and negotiate for a sweet deal.
"Feel free to call me if you have any questions." He said and walked over to Lin Xuan Qi.
Lin Xuan Qi saw him came over and handed Lin Xuan Qi his business card, saying the same thing.
Although he was surprised by the gesture, Lin Xuan Qi kept the business card, and politely nodded.
He just wasn't really into the fame and glamor.
From the response, Robert Lee wasn't sure if Lin Xuan Qi was playing hard to get and trying to negotiate for a better deal like Shao Xue Cong.
He whispered something to Zhang Xi, and she blushed with her eyes wide open.
She bit her lips and nodded her head.
Robert Lee wanted her to try and get Lin Xuan Qi to sign with his talent agency in any way she could.
But what if talking to Lin Xuan Qi wasn't enough to get him onboard? She suddenly thought.
How far was she willing to go?
As they left, one of the male stars in the agency stared at them, a flicker of electricity appeared in his hand and disappeared again.
"Just two more week and I shall be done with this."
The male star looked at the calendar on his desk, where a red X was marked on one of the Saturdays.
Underneath the red X were the words, interview with the governor.
