Golden Agent of the Adonis (119)
“I also think you might have indigestion from dining with him, so I specially prepared some snacks for you.” Chu Xiang took a paper bag from the back seat and showed him the two boxes of snacks inside, smiling as she said, “Go buy a drink and have a bite. When I come out, we’ll go have a meal together.”
“Okay.” Fang Zhenxuan smiled and took it. Before Chu Xiang got out of the car, he called her again and leaned in to help her fix her hair strands, whispering softly, “Come out earlier, I’ll cook something delicious for you when we get home.”
“Okay.” Chu Xiang smiled and got out of the car. She waved to Fang Zhenxuan and then walked into the elevator. Suddenly, she felt like she was raising a little wolf, capable of being cute and playful, but also fierce to others.
She entered the private room arranged by Xia Ze and found that it was just the two of them. It was a bit unexpected. After exchanging greetings, she asked, “Isn’t Sister Qing coming? She said you wanted to talk to me about cooperation, and I thought it was related to a project she had.”
Xia Ze poured her a cup of hot drink and joked, “Why can’t I want to cooperate with you on my own? You have a huge reputation in the industry now. If it weren’t for Sister Qing’s help, I probably wouldn’t even have this meal.”
Chu Xiang smiled lightly. “Mr. Xia must be joking.”
Seeing that she wasn’t very enthusiastic, Xia Ze had to speak up again and explain his purpose, “I’ve been developing quite well in recent years, but Miss Chu has keen insight and should be able to see that I’ve reached a bottleneck. If I can break through, I can achieve the perfect combination of popularity and strength. I’ve been looking for that breakthrough, but unfortunately, I haven’t found it until I met you.”
He looked at Chu Xiang, and his peach blossom eyes gave off a deep affectionate feeling. “Miss Chu, would you be willing to be my agent? Or should I say, partner. I want to establish an independent studio, with each of us investing 50% and operating it together. The studio can be under your full management, and all you need to do is help me successfully transition and find a new positioning.”
Chu Xiang lowered her head and took a sip of water. Her gaze fell on the inverted phone and then shifted away. She smiled and said, “Mr. Xia already has an excellent agent. There’s no need for such redundancy. I currently have no plans to sign anyone else. I don’t have that much energy at the moment, sorry.”
Fang Zhenxuan took a sip of water in the car, brought the phone closer, and pursed his lips into a straight line. Xia Ze dared to come and steal his thunder. Perhaps he had been living too comfortably, right?
Then Xia Ze’s voice sounded from the phone again, “Miss Chu is the best agent in my eyes and also the best partner. I know that many people mock me for not having representative work after so many years in the industry, and you might have some thoughts about it as well. However, my idea is that the more impossible something seems, the more shocking it would be to achieve it in your hands, right? If you can change my current situation, I believe the title of a top-tier agent would forever be associated with you. I don’t intend to trouble you; my team can handle many things. I just want to seek advice and guidance from you. Is that possible? I thought you would enjoy challenging tasks.”
Of course, Chu Xiang enjoyed challenges. If she didn’t know about how Xia Ze betrayed Sister Fang, maybe she would have accepted this challenge. But when it came to scumbags, she had no patience and certainly wouldn’t offer any benefits. She directly replied, “We’re not quite suitable as partners. Mr. Xia should find someone more suitable for the job.”
She picked up her phone and reached for her bag. She added, “Actually, before this last-minute invitation, I had already made plans with friends. Since Mr. Xia doesn’t have any other matters to discuss, I think I’ll take my leave first…”
“Miss Chu, wait!” Xia Ze immediately reached out to grab Chu Xiang, but she evaded him gracefully. He smiled gently and said, “Miss Chu, the dishes have arrived. Let’s finish eating before you leave. If you don’t like this topic, I won’t bring it up. Although I really wanted you to be my agent, I cherish you not disliking me more. I admire you, Miss Chu. If possible, can this meal be the beginning of us getting to know each other?”
So, if the cooperation didn’t work out, he would pursue her? Well, even if he succeeded, she could still serve as his agent. Chu Xiang felt that his image overlapped with Chen Lifeng’s. She politely smiled and said, “I’m sorry, I do have something to attend to today. Let’s have another opportunity to meet in the future. I’ll take my leave now.”
Xia Ze didn’t want to forcefully stop her and opened the door for Chu Xiang like a gentleman. “Then I’ll walk you out.”
Fang Zhenxuan frowned, feeling that something was off. In his free time over the past few years, he had studied Xia Ze countless times. Xia Ze’s repeated reluctance to let Chu Xiang leave meant that he had some unfulfilled purpose.
He logged into Weibo using an alternate account account and found Xia Ze’s Chaohua. He also searched for several marketing accounts that had a good relationship with Xia Ze. After a minute, he finally found a recent explosive revelation: the secret relationship between Xia Ze and Chu Xiang. The post included a picture of them smiling and walking side by side in a restaurant!
Fang Zhenxuan’s face turned grim. He immediately called Chu Xiang and drove his car to the restaurant entrance.
As soon as Chu Xiang answered the call, he said, “Someone secretly took photos of you two and posted them on Weibo. Come out through the front entrance, I’m waiting here for you.”
“Okay.” Chu Xiang maintained her smile and hung up the phone before summoning the Qiankun Mirror.
