Chapter 12: Signing Contract, Good Facial Features
Time had just reached noon, and Xuan Xia was already standing at the entrance of Xiangyun Entertainment’s company.
Looking at Xiangyun Entertainment’s independent signboard, Xuan Xia’s mind only thought of the hexagram that Daoist Master Qin had divined for her that morning.
‘Qian Nine Five, Flying Dragon in the Sky, Beneficial to see the Great Man.’
Was this some kind of fateful arrangement?
She had originally wanted to check the surveillance footage, but Daoist Master Qin told her that it was the weekend today, so she couldn’t check the surveillance.
She would need to wait until Monday.
So she decided on the spot to set off and head north to Yanjing.
She took a deep breath of Yanjing’s air, then called Ji Ziyao to tell him that she had arrived.
Not long after, Ji Ziyao came out from the gate with a beaming, radiant face.
“My younger sister, you came pretty quickly. Our company wasn’t too hard to find, right?” Ji Ziyao’s smile grew even wider upon seeing Xuan Xia.
“Yeah. Didn’t you tell me to come early? Aren’t you treating me to lunch at noon?” Xuan Xia said.
“Right, right, right.” Ji Ziyao enthusiastically led Xuan Xia into the company.
Xuan Xia sized up Ji Ziyao.
His appearance was just like a few years ago, without much change.
His bangs fell over his brows, his face was clean and clear, without any signs of staying up late, wearing a simple casual outfit, but because of his tall stature, he looked somewhat handsome.
She didn’t know what other agents were usually like, but Ji Ziyao really didn’t look like one anywhere from head to toe, impossible to even guess.
Yet he really was an agent!
After entering Xiangyun Company, Xuan Xia saw that everyone they met along the way would proactively greet Ji Ziyao.
Some were even minor celebrities.
Although Xuan Xia didn’t recognize any of them, she only recognized a few stars hanging on the company walls, but if Ji Ziyao said they were, then they were.
Ji Ziyao brought Xuan Xia to his office, where the signing contract was already prepared, just waiting for her final review, then to sign her own name.
His office wasn’t large, but it had ample lighting and was adorned with green plants, making anyone inside feel bright and comfortable.
In this bright environment, Xuan Xia signed her “indenture of servitude”.
After signing, Xuan Xia suddenly realized that she had been signing contracts non-stop these past two days.
It was somewhat similar to her dream self.
But what she was doing now was completely opposite to what her dream self had done.
Ji Ziyao took the contract, put it away like a treasure, then sat in his own office chair and began discussing her first job with Xuan Xia.
This first job was that dating show he hadn’t been able to find someone for before.
The variety show was called “Thump Thump, Us Falling in Love in the Summer”.
It was quite a coincidence that the production company for that variety show was in Jiangshi, and the recording location was also set in Jiangshi.
“Do you have time next Tuesday?” Ji Ziyao asked her.
“I have class in the morning, but time in the afternoon.” Xuan Xia replied.
Ji Ziyao nodded, “Then on Tuesday afternoon, I’ll take you to meet people at the platform side.”
Although he had already decided to have Xuan Xia fill this vacant spot, they still needed to go through the formalities, take her to the production team to meet the producer, have a brief interview.
Any artist with even a little fame didn’t need to go through this procedure, but who could blame Xuan Xia for being just a newcomer who had just entered the industry.
“Okay.”
Ji Ziyao was already arranging time with the producer, then casually asked: “By the way, do you know the group Cruel Summer?”
Cruel Summer? Xuan Xia naturally shook her head; she didn’t follow stars and paid no attention to entertainment news.
Ji Ziyao had an expression of “are you sure you’re not kidding me”, “This group blew up three years ago, and their popularity is still at its peak now. You’re sure you’ve never heard of them?”
Xuan Xia said: “I have ones I like. So what about this group?”
Ji Ziyao clicked his tongue in wonder, but thinking that Xuan Xia was positioned as a top student, she probably really didn’t pay attention.
He didn’t dwell on it and got straight to the point, “The dance leader of this group is called Zhou Shiqing. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be your partner on the program.”
Although he said if nothing unexpected, but since the other party was Zhou Shiqing, Ji Ziyao didn’t dare to speak too definitively.
Zhou Shiqing was basically an ancestor!
Logically speaking, someone as famous as Zhou Shiqing with so many fans shouldn’t appear on a dating show.
But this kid had been frequently photographed by paparazzi entering and leaving nightclubs, even earning the title “Nightclub Prince”, with plenty of scandals, on the verge of collapsing, seriously affecting his group’s business resources and this year’s tour plans.
His company now urgently wanted to wash away his negative labels, so they forced him to take this program, seemingly planning to craft a devoted persona for him.
But Ji Ziyao wasn’t optimistic about this operation at all.
“Oh.” After responding, Xuan Xia belatedly realized that this name seemed familiar.
She subconsciously took out her mobile phone and asked Ji Ziyao: “Can I search for it now?”
Ji Ziyao: “……”
Convinced, convinced, this younger sister really paid no attention to these young idols.
He made a casual gesture.
Xuan Xia then openly searched for this group called Cruel Summer right in front of him.
There was a ton of news about this group, with the encyclopedia introduction at the top.
Xuan Xia directly entered the encyclopedia introduction page.
After quickly browsing through, she finally knew why Zhou Shiqing’s name sounded familiar.
Her former love rival Ji Weiyi’s dorm mates liked this group, and among them, they liked Zhou Shiqing the most.
The reason was: Dance leaders have always produced husbands.
And Xuan Xia remembered this so clearly because that dormitory once missed curfew chasing this group’s event, got caught as an example, and in the end, it was Qin Yi who settled it.
Now, the idol liked by her former love rival’s dorm mates might be going on a dating show with her, playing fake lovers…
Xuan Xia thought it over and could only come up with two words: Hilarious.
–
After knowing who Zhou Shiqing was, Xuan Xia chose to exit the page and put away her mobile phone.
Ji Ziyao across from her was replying to messages on his mobile phone; Xuan Xia didn’t want to disturb him but was bored, so she began studying Ji Ziyao’s facial features.
Broad forehead, raised brows and bright eyes…
Anyone being stared at continuously would notice; Ji Ziyao looked up during a gap after sending a message: “Younger sister, what are you staring at me for? Did a flower bloom on my face?”
Xuan Xia looked serious: “I discovered your facial features are very good.”
Really want to beg for bookmarks.
