Chapter 44 - I Am Arrogant

Chapter 44: I Am Arrogant

Ling Sheng knew that because a young lady had told her secretly on her way there that Du Manqing had exited Mei Xuelin’s office with teary eyes.
Look!
There was some use to bribing people.
After all, the lady had accepted a drink from her so she could not turn down her request.
“Is she willing to show me around?” Ling Sheng finally got to the main topic. “It’s fine if she isn’t. You don’t have to put yourself in a difficult position. Trust me, I can handle this alone.”
What kind of events had she not been to? This small-scale charity auction would not frighten her.
“I was quite worried about you at first, but I’m not anymore.” Mei Xuelin stared at the little imp in front of her. “I have talked to her, and she will show you around.”
Ling Sheng asked, “You didn’t threaten her, right?”
Mei Xuelin replied, “So what if I did?”
Ling Sheng pretended to be scared and retorted, “Nothing, you’re impressive. You’re the boss after all!”
Mei Xuelin said, “If you continue to be loquacious, I’ll slap you. Do you believe me?”
Ling Sheng smiled sweetly. “I wouldn’t dare. I’m in the wrong.”
Mei Xuelin threw her a bunch of things. “These are the few scripts I’ve chosen lately. See which one you prefer and I’ll arrange an audition.”
After taking on so many artists over the years, that was the first time she’d met one who treated her like a friend, which made their interactions surprisingly relaxing.
Ling Sheng blinked, her face looking innocent as she asked, “I can make my own decision?”
“These were picked by me and they are scripts I’m immensely satisfied with.” Mei Xuelin gave her an eye roll. “Take a good look at them when you go back and reply to me as soon as possible.”
“Big Celebrity Agent, I have something I really want to tell you.” Ling Sheng sounded very sincere.
An ominous feeling formed in Mei Xuelin’s heart as she gave her a hurry-up-and-talk look.
Ling Sheng exclaimed excitedly, “I really like you!”
Mei Xuelin replied, “Wow, my scoldings hype you up.”
But why did she find herself liking it somehow?
Mei Xuelin said Du Manqing was busy with styling and would arrive at the company at five in the evening to attend the event with her.
Du Manqing was the Best Actress Award winner and a popular female artist so she had her own personal stylist and makeup artist. Even her gown was carefully selected to make her stand out from the other celebrities.
Ling Sheng was an economically-strapped, culturally-deficient newbie with nothing.
Her styling was done at the company, and her gown was prepared by Mei Xuelin.
There were already some people present in the styling room, and a few assistant stylists were packing items.
On the chair sat a man with an extremely fashionable outfit and style. His long legs rested on the other chair while he had his manicure.
From the side, his features looked delicate and strong, giving one the impression that he was a half-breed.
While his golden hair was fine, frizzy, and messy, it retained a fashionable vibe.
He radiated an I-am-arrogant, I-should-not-be-offended, and you-should-not-insult-me kind of haughty vibe.
Ling Sheng’s gaze was fixed on him immediately. She smiled politely and humbly. “Hello, Teacher.”
The man acknowledged this lightly while reaching his hand out to inspect his nails. Then, he asked, “How’s the trimming on this part?”
Ling Sheng walked over, nearly making a critical comment like “What kind of trimming is that?” in answer to him. However, she stopped herself and gave him a beautiful smile before offering, “Let me help you!”
The man finally raised his head and looked at her squarely, his eyebrows rising slightly.
She did not look bad!
Xuelin had said she was supported by Huo Number Six.
He clicked his tongue.
Huo Number Six was d*mn unrighteous. Since he had found this beautiful lady, how could he not reveal anything?
He forgot his brothers once he had a woman in his life and had declined their offers to have fun a few times.
He’d thought there was something fishy about this situation so he had asked Xuelin to send someone over for styling. That was when she had told him.
