Chapter 48 Song Ni is Discovered by Lu Shi's Ace Agent
Qin Dang twisted the thief's hands behind his back and looked up at Song Ni, somewhat surprised. "Good reflexes." No wonder she didn't lose out when fighting that group of people that day. Song Ni glanced at the bag in the thief's arms, a newly released style. She didn't quite understand how this man dared to steal in broad daylight at a luxury store, and a rare item at that. It was too ostentatious.
In just a moment, the mall security arrived. Qin Dang handed the thief over, and the man didn't resist. Everyone relaxed for a bit. Unexpectedly, during this brief moment, the man suddenly kicked Song Ni and spat at her, cursing loudly. "Bitch! May you die a terrible death!"
Song Ni's eyebrows sharpened, and she dodged the kick, quickly raising her hand to protect her face. Qin Dang instantly subdued the man by his neck. "What are you doing!" Qin Yang immediately took out a tissue to wipe Song Ni's hands. Song Ni suppressed her nausea and looked up at the man. His eyes clearly held immense hatred for her.
As the man was led away by security, Qin Dang saw Song Ni standing frozen. He offered a rare explanation. "These people have terrible character. Because you were the one who caused their arrest, they are taking their anger out on you."
"Is that so?" Song Ni didn't want to waste energy on such people. Besides, she rarely had opportunities to interact with them, so she didn't dwell on the strange feeling from earlier. She told the two to go to the restaurant first, while she went to the restroom.
Just as she reached the entrance, a woman ran out from inside in a panic, bumping right into Song Ni. "Sorry, sorry." The woman looked up in a flurry, her face full of panic. Upon seeing Song Ni, she froze for a moment, then hastily fled. Song Ni's brow furrowed, wondering why she was encountering so many annoying things today.
After washing her hands more than ten times, Lu Fang's call came through. Song Ni then learned that Tan Zheng had already gone to America. "Sister-in-law, are you free tomorrow?" Song Ni was quite surprised. "What's the matter?"
"Haozi has been following the videos of learning karate. He has other business activities during this period. If it's possible, I'd like to invite you to come to the company to discuss video uploads and promotion." Song Ni's eyes flickered. Qin Dang was right. She couldn't ask Tan Zheng about what happened back then, but she could approach those close to him. And among Tan Zheng's brothers, Lu Fang was a good choice.
"Yes, I'll come to your company tomorrow afternoon." Song Ni hung up and pulled up Tan Zheng's WeChat from her contacts. Tan Zheng didn't like using such communication software; he always contacted people directly by phone. WeChat was merely a decoration for him. Both his profile picture and his moments were simple to the extreme, like a simple bot account.
Song Ni didn't know why she was doing this. She didn't plan to send Tan Zheng a message proactively, nor did she know what to say. Between the two of them, calling themselves fiancés felt less accurate than calling themselves business partners. Staring at the blank chat background for a long time, Song Ni closed her phone.
...The next day, a red Jaguar F-Type parked downstairs at Lu Shi Entertainment. Lu Shi Entertainment had many star artists, and it was common to see luxury cars downstairs, but most were relatively low-key and understated. When this particularly flashy car stopped, it attracted much attention.
As the car door opened, the first thing that came into view were long legs clad in black patent leather boots. The person wore a black spaghetti strap jumpsuit, with her hair in the classic French wavy style, cascading over her shoulders. Beneath black sunglasses, she sported strikingly red lips. Her attire wasn't unusual, but what made it impossible to look away was her exceptional aura. Her straight nose, small and delicate tip, lent a touch of cool detachment. Yet, her slightly raised chin and slender neck formed a superior shoulder and neck line, paired with those vibrant red lips, creating an extremely bright and radiant look. These conflicting temperaments merged perfectly in one person.
However, when the woman took off her sunglasses, revealing her moist, expressive peach blossom eyes, she gained a hint of fragile vulnerability. How strange. Chang Zi, who was frowning and scolding a disobedient newcomer on the phone, rushing outside, stopped dead in her tracks the moment she saw the woman at the entrance. Regardless of whatever apologies were being made on the other end of the phone, she hung up directly.
She had been in the entertainment industry for over a decade, and an agent for nearly ten years, having seen all sorts of beauties and considered herself experienced. But upon seeing the person at the entrance, she realized how narrow her perspective had been. With almost a single glance, she knew this was a talent who could become nationally famous.
Her agent's instinct kicking in, Chang Zi walked up to the woman. "Miss, hello, I am Chang Zi, an agent under Lu Shi Entertainment." She then took out her business card from her bag.
Song Ni's eyebrows furrowed, her mood not entirely pleasant. She stared at the business card, lost in thought. Since witnessing Tan Zheng's driving skills at the racing club that day, Song Ni had consciously started driving more. She wasn't a gentle person, and even if her skills weren't great, she still drove fast. This had led to many minor collisions on the road. She had almost rear-ended someone on her way here today. Song Ni truly couldn't understand it. She could quickly master everything she learned since childhood, yet she stumbled when it came to driving.
"Miss?" Chang Zi, seeing Song Ni frowning and remaining silent, couldn't help but speak again. While she wasn't a top agent in the industry, she was an ace at Lu Shi. Without exaggeration, anyone who followed the entertainment industry would know her name. But this person before her... seemed not to know her. She was likely not from the entertainment industry. This meant she still had a chance to bring her into Lu Shi! This realization made Chang Zi's heart leap with joy.
Song Ni finally shifted her gaze to the woman in front of her, but before she could take a proper look, Lu Hao Ting, who had received a message, had already come downstairs to greet her. "Sister-in-law, over here!" Lu Hao Ting waved and jogged towards Song Ni. Chang Zi primarily managed film and television artists and was not very familiar with Lu Hao Ting, but he was the boss's brother, so she recognized his face. Sister-in-law? Chang Zi's eyes widened, and she looked at Song Ni. Could this beauty actually be Mr. Lu's wife? But when did Mr. Lu get married? Wasn't he still entangled with that person a couple of years ago?
A flood of questions filled her mind. However, having been in the industry for so long, Chang Zi quickly composed herself and looked at Lu Hao Ting. Lu Hao Ting then noticed Chang Zi and the business card in her hand. He understood and looked at Chang Zi with a mischievous smile. "Sister Chang, why are you setting your sights on my sister-in-law?"
Chang Zi smiled faintly and looked at Song Ni. "This young lady is simply too beautiful; no one in the industry can compare. I'm confident that if she entered the industry, she would be the absolute top existence in the country."
Song Ni's eyes flickered. The gloom in her heart dissipated somewhat with the sincere compliment. She nodded to Chang Zi in greeting and finally took the business card from her hand. Chang Zi's eyes lit up, and before she could ask Song Ni if she was interested in joining the industry, Lu Fang had also come downstairs. Then she heard her boss call out to the woman in front of him, "Sister-in-law."
Chang Zi: ??????? Her eyes widened again. So this beauty wasn't Mr. Lu's wife?
Lu Fang: This misunderstanding could be fatal!
