Chapter 105: Murong Xue, Haven't You Decided Yet?

~8 min read 1,520 words

The atmosphere was just right, and Xu Tian asked tentatively.

Tang Bingyan was slightly startled, her eyes recovering some clarity, and then she nodded gently.

And just as Xu Tian picked Tang Bingyan up horizontally and headed toward the bedroom...

"Ring, ring..." Tang Bingyan's phone on the coffee table suddenly rang.

Xu Tian's movements suddenly stiffened.

He understood that Tang Bingyan didn't like others calling her directly. Once the phone rang, it usually meant something big had happened.

"I'll answer the phone first."

Tang Bingyan struggled, got down from Xu Tian, and walked quickly to the table to pick up the phone.

He didn't know what the person on the other end said. After she was silent for a moment, she said coldly:

"I know. Have the people from the Marketing Department go over immediately. I'll be there in an hour."

Xu Tian knew that there was indeed some trouble at the company.

He went back to the room with some regret to get her handbag.

When he returned to the living room, Tang Bingyan had already buttoned her shirt, which had been unbuttoned by Xu Tian in the chaos, up to the top button.

"I have something to deal with, so I can't eat the steak you made."

After saying this, Tang Bingyan walked up to Xu Tian and kissed his thin lips soothingly.

Xu Tian felt the softness on his lips, and the pent-up frustration in his heart instantly dissipated by more than half.

"It's okay, I'll make it for you another day."

After saying this, Xu Tian draped a coat over Tang Bingyan, sent her to the parking lot downstairs, and then went upstairs alone.

Xu Tian stood at his door for a moment, then simply turned around and knocked on the door opposite.

"Who is it?"

Shang Yiran came out to open the door and was surprised to see Xu Tian: "Mr. Xu, why are you..."

"My girlfriend is working overtime temporarily. Do you want to have dinner with me?"

Xu Tian smiled at Shang Yiran: "The champagne you sent, it's better for you to open it yourself."

"Then wait for me for a moment."

Five minutes later, Shang Yiran, who had changed his clothes, appeared in Xu Tian's dining room.

"Try my craft." Xu Tian brought out the steak he had pan-seared earlier and simply made a vegetable salad.

The steak had already cooled down. Before bringing it out, Xu Tian reheated it in the microwave. Although the texture was definitely not as good as when it was fresh out of the pan, fortunately, the A5-grade wagyu beef he bought this time had quality that made up for the lack of cooking.

"Thank you." Shang Yiran opened the champagne bottle cap, poured a glass for himself and Xu Tian, and then sighed: "I didn't expect you to choose to be an agent."

"How so?" Xu Tian asked, puzzled.

"With your appearance, if you were an actor, you would probably become an overnight sensation."

Shang Yiran had seen many handsome men and beautiful women in the entertainment industry, but he hadn't seen anyone who could leave such a deep impression on him like Xu Tian.

"Actor? Forget it."

Xu Tian shook his head with a smile: "I don't know how to act. Being an agent is more suitable for me."

"Which subsidiary did Guo Zong send you to?" Shang Yiran asked while eating steak.

"Qingguo Music." Xu Tian answered truthfully.

"Qingguo?"

Shang Yiran was stunned, then his brows furrowed tightly: "The artists in this company are not easy to manage."

Except for Nie Jingjing, Qingguo Music only had small transparent people who were unknown.

If an agent without resources wants to make achievements there, it's really a bit difficult.

"Actually, this arrangement might not be a bad thing for you."

"The artists who can get ahead in Tian Feng Entertainment and its other brokerage companies have already been carved up. Even if you go there, there's no one for you to manage."

"But Qingguo Music is different. Du Xiaowei is the sole authority there. If you develop over there, you might be able to seize an opportunity."

"I thought so too."

Seeing Shang Yiran analyzing the pros and cons for him so seriously, Xu Tian asked a few more questions: "Yiran, you've been at Tian Feng Entertainment for so long. What is your evaluation of Du Xiaowei? I see that the fans' impression of him online is not bad?"

Xu Tian had some impression of Nie Jingjing, the artist managed by Du Xiaowei, and consequently read some reports about him.

Nie Jingjing is a woman who takes the black-red route of hype. She has a bad temper and many scandals, so although she has heat, she can never compare to those heavenly king and queen-level singers.

And before Du Xiaowei managed her, she changed several agents. Either they were angered away by her spoiled-brat temper, or she didn't look up to them.

It wasn't until her agent was changed to Du Xiaowei that she restrained herself a bit.

And this person, Du Xiaowei, always has a gentle face in front of outsiders, so his reputation in the entertainment industry is considered not bad.

Of course, from the fact that Du Xiaowei was at odds with him over Shang Yiran's matter the first time he entered Tian Feng Entertainment, his impression of Du Xiaowei wasn't good, but it didn't prevent him from understanding Shang Yiran's attitude toward Du Xiaowei.

Shang Yiran shook his head: "That person is very good at doing superficial work. In fact, those who have dealt with him in the entertainment industry all know that he is definitely not a good person. You must be careful when you go to his side. Be careful of him digging holes behind your back."

"Don't worry, I will be careful."

Shang Yiran's evaluation of Du Xiaowei coincided with Xu Tian's.

Judging from these words of Shang Yiran, he really had no guard against him.

If he had any bad intentions, recording this conversation and posting it online could push Shang Yiran to the center of the storm again.

"Actually, you should also be careful."

Xu Tian put down his chopsticks and looked at Shang Yiran, who was a bit confused: "Don't easily trust others, and don't take the initiative to hand over your handle."

Shang Yiran seemed to think of something, his eyes dimmed, and he nodded silently.

Xu Tian knew he had poked his sore spot, but he still had to say it.

"Li Qiang framing you can be considered a wake-up call for you."

Xu Tian continued: "Your kindness doesn't necessarily lead to good results."

"Next time you want to do charity, just let your agent or assistant connect with the relevant personnel. You don't need to get too close to those groups being helped."

"Mm, I won't make such a mistake again in the future." Shang Yiran said gloomily.

This lesson was enough for him to remember for a lifetime.

The next day.

In an office of the Qingguo Music office building, Du Xiaowei was sitting on the boss's chair with his legs crossed, smoking a cigarette.

He was wearing a high-end custom suit, and the watch on his wrist was a limited edition of a certain brand, worth at least a million.

Time had left traces on his face, but because of proper maintenance, he looked much younger than his actual age.

A young girl was also sitting on the double sofa in the office.

The girl had a head of plain, straight hair. The dress she was wearing had been washed white, and the canvas shoes on her feet were styles from many years ago.

But such a shabby outfit couldn't hide the girl's own charm. Her exquisite face without a single flaw and her innate pure temperament were enough to kill a crowd of stars.

However, those originally lively black eyes were full of bloodshot veins, and her porcelain-white skin had no blood color. She was wrapped in an aura of despair, and her eyes were filled with exhaustion.

Du Xiaowei finished smoking a cigarette, pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray inlaid with rubies, then changed his posture and looked at the girl on the sofa.

"Murong Xue, my patience is limited. Haven't you decided yet?"

Murong Xue's body trembled fiercely. If you looked closely, you would find that her hands, which were clenched into fists, were shaking, but her face was a stubborn look of refusal to compromise.

Du Xiaowei frowned tightly, feeling a bit impatient, and knocked on the desktop. Just as he was about to speak, a rush of knocking suddenly sounded outside the door.

"Come in!" Du Xiaowei, who had been interrupted, was a bit annoyed, and his tone was quite irritable.

Immediately after, a tall and thin middle-aged man ran in, panting. Before Du Xiaowei could speak, he shouted first.

"Manager Du, it's bad! The headquarters sent a newcomer over, saying he's the company's agent, and also told all departments to actively cooperate with him. Does Guo Zong have some ideas?" ===== CHAPTER 106 =====
