Bab 26: Chapter 25: I touched Princess Su’s boobs?!
Wen Jiexi received a phone call from her family telling her to come home. With no other choice, she said goodbye to Li Lingmeng and called the family's chauffeur to take her home. The first thing she saw when she entered the house was her father fiercely scolding her brother, pointing an accusatory finger at her pitiful brother's face. Her mother sat calmly beside him and occasionally sipped her tea as she watched on.
"Dad, brother, what's going on?" Wen Jiexi asked in surprise.
"Aiya! Little Xi, you're home! Come…." Wen Shan's originally fearsome expression immediately morphed into a softer expression when he saw Wen Jiexi. He was about to say something when his wife interrupted him.
"Little Xi, come sit over here with mom."
"Ok, mom." Wen Jiexi could tell something was wrong as she looked at this scene and chose to obediently follow her mother's words.
Wen Shan: QAQ…
"Little Xi, is this really you?" Taking advantage of Wen Shan's momentary distraction and Wen Linshu quickly moved to Wen Jiexi's side with a tablet in his hands.
One must know that when he came back home, he was immediately interrogated. They asked him why he didn't tell them that Little Xi had shot a commercial and feeling wronged, he told them he didn't know too. That only got him more scolding,
"Do you not care about your sister at all?? You are the President of Xingle and you didn't know who was selected in the end for the HIOC commercial?" This was Wen Shan's rebuttal to his son's argument.
I really didn't know!! It's not like it was an artist from my company and why would I care about that little sports company…..
"Know this, if your sister was tricked into this, I want to see exactly where you'll go to cry! Because if there is a next time, don't even think about returning home ever again!" Tan Yashi stated coldly.
To this, Wen Linshu felt like crying then and there. QAQ! Fine, everything is my fault, but I've been wronged! Of course, he didn't dare to say this out loud.
Not knowing about the hot water Wen Linshu had found himself in before she got here, Wen Jiexi looked down at the tablet forced into her hands. Oh, so it turns out that the HIOC advertisement was just aired. At this point, there was nothing more she can hide because she was obviously the person in the commercial. It would be stranger if she tried to deny it so she nodded in affirmation.
"Huh? It's already out? I thought it would be aired later in the evening. En, that's right, this is me."
"Little Xi, do you really want to enter the entertainment circle? Didn't you say you weren't interested in any of that before?" Tan Yashi gently patted her daughter's head. Rather than opposing or disagreeing with her daughter's choices, she rather let her daughter have the freedom to choose and she will support her daughter all the way.
"That's because…." Wen Jiexi quickly offered some believable excuses, but didn't tell them the real reason she wanted to enter the entertainment industry. Then she changed the topic to her filming and told them everything about the commercial. Including the part about the Ma father and son pair.
Bang!
Wen Shan slapped the table angrily and declared,
"Ma Hong, how dare you try to go after MY daughter!"
"Um, dad, those two have already been dismissed from the company. I think they've learned their lesson by now." Wen Jiexi said helplessly. Although the way the Ma father and son pair acted was disgusting, they had already lost their jobs so in her opinion that was enough.
"Alright, alright, what you said is right." Although Wen Shan nodded in agreement, he secretly gave his son and wife a look.
In their eyes, Little Xi was too kind and too naive. Wen Shan had seen almost everything in the entertainment circle and Wen Linshu and Tan Yashi were also very familiar with it. Sometimes even if you let the other person retreat and live, they might not necessarily appreciate it and instead stab you in the back when you are down. They've seen plenty of these kinds of situations. Therefore even if the Ma father and son pair didn't immediately rush in to kill off Little Xi, they might slowly climb their way back up and wait for an opportunity.
"Oh, by the way, the payment was 50,000 yuan!" Wen Jiexi happily set the payment she received from Zhao Ya onto the table.
"Good girl." Tan Yashi pulled Wen Jiexi into a hug. Although 50,000 was not worth anything to their family, this was the first time their daughter earned the money herself and it was a big sum too.
"Little Xi, you should hold onto your money. The money you make can be used as your pocket money." Wen Shan handed the bank card back to Wen Jiexi, sliding it across the table.
"Huh?" Wen Jiexi froze.
"Yes, that's right, Little Xi. You should keep the money for your own use and buy whatever you want. Tan Yashi pressed the card into Wen Jiexi's hand and immediately changed the subject before Wen Jixi could protest,
"Oh, Little Xi, are you serious about entering the industry?"
"En. If I get the opportunity to do so, I want to fully step into the entertainment circle. I can't stay under my family's umbrella, protected and hidden from the world with no clue how to do anything. I want to do something myself and live my life!" Wen Jiexi replied seriously.
Wen Linshu + Wen Shan + Tan Yashi: Wuwuwuwu, my daughter/sister is all grown up now!
"Then has Little Xi picked out an entertainment company you want to sign a contract with?"
"I really hope I can join Xingle because I've heard they're the best, but I'm afraid I'm not famous enough to get hired there. I don't think I have a chance of getting in." Wen Jiexi twirled her hair embarrassedly, telling them her thoughts.
"That's no problem at all! Little Xi, you see, I, your big brother….."Just when he was about to announce he was the President of Xingle, he was silenced by a glare from Wen Shan….
Wen Shan: Your sister said she didn't want to live under the family's umbrella anymore and live a life she will carve out for herself! If you tell her you're the President isn't that just going to disappoint her!
Wen Linshu: QAQ! I'm the President so why can't I help my little sister! I feel mistreated!
"Cough…this, your brother has friends working at Xingle so it's no problem at all to get in! But you have to promise your brother that you will use your own ability to work hard and climb up!"
"Really?" Wen Jiexi jumped up excitedly and grabbed his hand. Although she said she didn't want her family's help when it comes to signing a contract that is binding for a few years she will accept at least some help from her brother. After all, during the contract period whatever the company tells you to do, one has to do it without question. Therefore, the company she chooses is really important. If she chooses a shady company that forces her to work to the bone, then she would rather break her contract then cause her family to worry.
"Rest assured, sister. Just let your big brother handle everything! I will start calling up my connections right now!" Wen Linshu patted his chest confidently and when he saw his sister's bright smile, all his grievances seemed to disappear. However he wailed internally, this is a big problem! How am I supposed to do all this discreetly?
Wen Linshu irritably scratched his head. He needed to find a trustworthy agent, assistant, and….uh, find someone who will oversee all this. Wen Linshu rubbed his chin as he slowly calculated everything.
A few days later, Wen Jiexi received a call from her brother that he had explained everything to his friends and they will take her directly into the company to sign a contract. He told her to just go straight to the Xingle company's headquarters and if she needed anything she should ask his friends.
"Thank you, brother!" Wen Jiexi said happily and gave a thumbs up to the Li Lingmeng waiting beside her.
"No, no, this is but a trivial matter! Little Xi you must do your best! If you have any problems remember to tell your big brother. I am good friends with Xingle's President after all! Hahaha!"
"Ok, brother." Wen Jiexi listened to Wen Linshu's rambling for another 10 minutes before hanging up.
"Hehehe, Little Xi, this is great! What are we waiting for? Let's go!" Li Lingmeng waved her hands excitedly in the air and if she wasn't wearing her 'work' clothes, she probably would be rolling around on the bed right now.
"Not now, we can slowly make our way over after eating lunch. My brother said he had already made an appointment for two o'clock and his friends will meet us in the small meeting room on the fifth floor." Wen Jiexi smiled as she explained.
"Ah, it's almost noon already! We have a hurry and get something to eat first so that there won't be any stench left on us when we arrive! Hurry, we have to eat early!" Li Lingmeng dragged Wen Jiexi out the door.
At half-past one, the two stood in front of the doors that led them directly into the Xingle's company headquarters.
"I think we're a little too early." Wen Jiexi smiled bitterly.
"Please, not at all. This is a big company so it's only natural for us to arrive early. They can't wait on us, we wait for them! This was highlighted in my book! They're a big company and we're a bunch of small fires so this is us being polite!"
"Okay, okay, let's go in." They had stood out here for so long and Wen Jiexi could feel people watching them from the inside. She quickly pulled Li Lingmeng inside and searched around for a receptionist.
"Good afternoon, Miss." Wen Jiexi greeted a receptionist politely.
"Good afternoon, may I ask who you two ladies are…" This receptionist has been working for Xingle for a couple of years now and has memorized every single artist's face. From one glance she could tell that these two were fresh newcomers she never met before.
"Ah, we have an appointment for two o'clock and the name is Wen Jiexi." Wen Jiexi introduced herself.
"….Miss Wen?" The receptionist typed into her computer and when she looked back up the expression on her face changed,
"Miss Wen, the President has ordered that you head directly to the third meeting room on the fifth floor." After saying that, the receptionist stood up and respectfully bowed as she pointed them towards the elevator.
"There is an elevator on your right over there. Take care."
"Thank you."
"Wow, the service here is really good! I thought they would glare at us and look down on our newcomer status." Li Lingmeng whispered.
"They wouldn't do that, right? Isn't the reception desk the face of the company? I think a big company would pay extra attention to that." Wen Jiexi waved her hand and then reached out to press the elevator button. The elevator immediately opened for them as the two stepped inside.
Once the doors closed, the receptionists at the desk whispered,
"Little Li, who was that? This is my first time seeing the President give someone special treatment! He even told us to treat them with careful respect."
"How would I know? Not even Sister Su was given special treatment when she first arrived."
"Both are surnamed Wen, so maybe they're relatives."
"Impossible, they don't look alike at all."
Not knowing about the small commotion she made, Wen Jiexi and Li Lingmeng arrived in front of the door that had a big "Five" written on it.
"Is this it?" Wen Jiexi began to feel nervous now that she was standing here. She never expected that she was able to sign a contract with Xingle and even if her brother had helped her a bit, she couldn't suppress her excitement.
"Little Xi, it's almost time." Although Li Lingmeng felt the same as Wen Jiexi, she looked at her watch and urged softly.
"Oh! Yeah!" Wen Jiexi inhaled deeply and raised her hand to knock on the door but at that moment…
The door opened and Wen Jiexi hadn't reacted fast enough before her hand that was supposed to land on wood landed on something soft and squishy. Then she looked up into Su Chenyu's smiling eyes.
The corridor that was originally filled with whispering from the workers suddenly went quiet. It was so quiet, that one could hear a needle drop.
