Chapter 110: I'm Not That Kind of Casual Person!

For her, even if there was no future, it was better than staying and being ruined by this human scum Du Xiaowei.

Seeing Murong Xue follow Xu Tian out without hesitation, Du Xiaowei kicked over the chair beside him.

"Damn it! I really gave you face!"

"What do you think you are? There are plenty of little girls who are prettier and more sensible than you. Do you really think I can't do without you?"

Even when Xu Tian and Murong Xue reached the elevator, they could still hear those filthy curses from Du Xiaowei.

The more Du Xiaowei thought about it, the more unwilling he was.

Actually, Murong Xue's age in the entertainment industry, where newcomers emerge in large numbers, was already not young.

And it was also because of Murong Xue's refusal that Du Xiaowei felt his appetite had been whetted, and he had been chasing after her.

Now that Murong Xue was so unappreciative, he wanted to see what kind of future she, Murong Xue, could have by following an agent with no resources and no fame!

A moment later.

Xu Tian's office downstairs.

Although the area of this room wasn't as large as Du Xiaowei's, it had all the necessary office facilities, and the hardware conditions were also quite good.

After all, Xu Tian was sent over by Guo Qishan personally. Even if Du Xiaowei was the sole authority here, he wouldn't treat him unfairly in such small details.

Xu Tian led Murong Xue into the office, then rummaged through the cabinet, and finally found a medical kit, taking out a Band-Aid.

"Cover the wound. Don't touch water for a while."

Taking the Band-Aid Xu Tian handed over, Murong Xue discovered that there was a bloodstain on the back of her hand at some point.

It should have been left when she was arguing with Du Xiaowei. She didn't feel pain just now, but now that she heard Xu Tian mention it, Murong Xue felt that the wound was really a bit painful.

Just as she lowered her head to apply the Band-Aid, Xu Tian sat in the office chair, quietly observing her every move.

Murong Xue had a baby face. Although she was already an adult, she looked like a high school student.

Such an appearance is very advantageous in the entertainment industry.

After all, even if a singer doesn't need to rely on their face to eat, it cannot be denied that artists who have both singing skills and beauty will be more popular.

And Murong Xue, who hadn't received any work for two years, still maintained the innocence of just leaving campus, like a little white flower that hadn't been polluted.

Such a refined and clean temperament is simply a fresh landscape in the complex entertainment industry where everyone competes for beauty.

But it is precisely this temperament that is more likely to attract those with ulterior motives.

They feel that a little girl like Murong Xue, who hasn't seen much of the world, is easy to handle and can be played with at will.

It was also thanks to Murong Xue's firm stance that she didn't degenerate.

Otherwise, her spiritual energy would have long been exhausted by this complex dyeing vat of the entertainment industry.

Originally, Xu Tian had always been unable to understand why Murong Xue had a commercial song that was popular all over the streets but was still unknown two years after her debut. Today, he finally understood the reason.

Murong Xue's family background was originally good, and she could even be sent abroad to study, but her father suddenly became seriously ill, and the expensive treatment costs emptied her family's savings.

Murong Xue entered the entertainment industry with a love for music, wanting to realize her dream while earning money for her father's treatment, but she didn't expect to meet the beast

Murong Xue had no background in the entertainment industry, nor did she have a family situation like Nie Jingjing's that allowed her to throw money around to trade for resources; upon encountering the ill-intentioned Du Xiaowei, she could only watch helplessly as artists who signed with the company at the same time as her released singles, went on promotional tours, and even those with less talent than her managed to become familiar faces to the public.

Yet she had remained obscure all along, and apart from that one advertising song, she had no other works.

Murong Xue, who had already applied a bandage, looked up and secretly glanced at Xu Tian; her nerves were still tightly wound, like a nervous little kitten.

Xu Tian noticed her gaze and turned to look over, discovering that the other party immediately looked away.

He could understand Murong Xue's current state of mind.

A young girl who had not yet seen much of the world, having encountered a scumbag like Du Xiaowei just as she entered society—this naturally left her with a very deep shadow.

Even though he had saved her from Du Xiaowei today, she would not immediately let down her guard.

Because she also could not be sure if Xu Tian was the same as Du Xiaowei, harboring filthy thoughts about her.

"Have you calmed down?"

Xu Tian sized up Murong Xue, and only after a moment did he ask.

"I've calmed down..." Murong Xue tugged at the corner of her skirt, feeling somewhat embarrassed; being alone in the office with Xu Tian made her feel a bit uneasy.

"Then I'm going to ask you some basic questions next."

Xu Tian opened his notebook: "Starting today, I am your manager, and I must have a general understanding of your situation."

"I understand." Murong Xue nodded, cooperating reasonably well.

"After you signed with the company, what promotional work did you take on?"

"None..."

Murong Xue's expression dimmed, and she shook her head, saying: "Apart from that one advertising song, there was nothing else."

Strictly speaking, that advertising song could not even be considered a resource given to Murong Xue by Qingguo Music.

Because Murong Xue had stood out through a selection process to earn the right to sing that song, and only signed with the company afterward.

Xu Tian nodded and made a simple note in his notebook.

He had already anticipated Murong Xue's answer; it was about the same as his memories from his previous life.

"Then, have you taken on any cover singing or songwriting work privately?"

Murong Xue's eyes dimmed upon hearing this; she shook her head and added: "The company does not allow artists to take on promotional work privately."

"Then are you single now? You must tell me about all your past relationships, including the total number and who you dated."

"No, no..."

Hearing this question, Murong Xue became nervous subconsciously; she bit her lip and replied: "There were none before either; I've never been in a relationship."

This time it was Xu Tian's turn to look at her in surprise; at Murong Xue's age, never having been in a relationship was indeed surprising.

This was just too innocent.

In the mixed and chaotic entertainment industry, it was very easy to be deceived.

"Then do you have any 'one-night stand' partners?" Xu Tian continued to ask.

Although Murong Xue had never been in a relationship, it didn't necessarily mean she hadn't had one-night stands.

If the other party were to leak such information, the impact on Murong Xue would be very significant.

"No!"

Murong Xue's expression stiffened, and she said righteously: "I am not that kind of casual person!"

"Not bad!" Xu Tian gave Murong Xue a thumbs up: "I like people who have bottom lines."

Although such things were consensual and normal even outside the entertainment industry, Xu Tian still felt the risk was too high; not only was it easy for paparazzi to take photos and blackmail, but it was also unsafe.

Murong Xue having no messy scandals in her emotional life was something he, as her manager, was happy to see.

"Thank you..."

Murong Xue pursed her lips and lowered her head again, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Then who is managing your social media accounts right now?"
