Luo Xi shook her head. “No, he’s just like that. He doesn’t mean any harm.” After all, Leng Minxing had that expression toward everyone. If he were to react differently, that would be strange.
Mi Ke nodded with a hint of regret. “I’m not exaggerating, but your husband’s looks and figure would outshine anyone in the entertainment or fashion industry. If I had met him a few years ago, I would have dragged him into the entertainment industry for sure. But now it seems there’s no chance.” He thought of the castle-like building halfway up Luo Xi’s mountain and couldn’t help but smile wryly.
With a family like that, unless it was a hobby, who would want to become an entertainment star? That would just be wasting time.
“That’s for sure, but there’s nothing good in the entertainment industry. My husband definitely isn’t interested…” she said firmly.
As they walked and chatted, Mi Ke learned a lot about Luo Xi, and she learned quite a bit about him and the people attending the celebration banquet this time.
One of them was a fellow artist from Mi Ke’s company, but she was just a third-tier star named Yu Meng. She had been somewhat popular for a while but was quickly overshadowed by newcomers. Mi Ke mentioned that the other party had repeatedly asked him to be her manager, but he rejected her every time. This time, both sides were participating in the promotion and there was a sense of competition involved.
Yu Meng had thought she was just an ordinary blogger at first and didn’t pay much attention to her. But she didn’t expect the final outcome would be so disappointing and slap her hard in the face.
If Luo Xi were a star of the same level, she probably wouldn’t have been so angry.
So Mi Ke was worried that Yu Meng might target her and advised Luo Xi to be cautious.
Another actress had decent promotion results, but they paled in comparison to Luo Xi’s. Mi Ke heard that this actress had recently landed a historical drama script, which was gaining popularity even before airing and had the momentum to become a big hit. Even though they weren’t in the same company, being overshadowed by a blogger was seen as a disgrace among stars, and it was hard to guarantee that these people wouldn’t go after her.
Luo Xi remembered all the names and kept the principle of “don’t offend me, and I won’t offend you” in mind. She didn’t want to offend anyone.
At the entrance of a grand and bright five-star hotel, a black Rolls-Royce pulled up. The staff at the door stepped forward carefully to open the car door. Luo Xi and Mi Ke got out and headed toward the reserved private room.
Having taken up some time, Mi Ke had called the other party earlier to inform them that they might be a few minutes late, to which they responded that it was no problem.
At this moment, in the banquet room on the tenth floor, a large round table was already filled with people—men and women, young and old.
Two seats were left open, specifically for Mi Ke and Luo Xi.
At the main seat was a woman in a white suit, her hair impeccably styled and wearing bright red lipstick. Her black eyeliner was sharply angled, giving her a shrewd and capable appearance. She embodied the image of a strong woman.
This woman was the founder of the Dai Yu brand, known as Sister Dai.
Sitting next to her was a male assistant in a black suit. The other seats were occupied by senior company personnel and two exquisitely dressed women.
“Sure enough, someone under a gold medal manager makes everyone wait even when the time is up. What a big face.” Someone clicked his tongue twice, with a hint of sarcasm and humor.
Sister Dai’s assistant spoke up, “Mr. Mi Ke has already called to say they were delayed on the road and will be a little late. Please wait a few more minutes.”
