Morning.
Guan Li’s agent and assistant rushed to the hotel where they were staying.
After Si Huang finished taking a shower and changing clothes, he came out. When he arrived at the dining room, he heard a man’s low roar: “Guan Li, you think now that your wings are hardened, you can do whatever you want, right? You just turned off your phone and didn’t answer the phone yesterday, now you can’t even hear my words? You can be arrogant with most people, but with some people, you can only endure it! I am not happy to see you like this, but the world is inherently unfair and you have no right. Without power or background, you can’t stay clean in this circle forever with just strength!”
“I know you feel sad, but when you sign a contract with a company, you have to follow what the boss above you asks for, and if you are in conflict with the boss, you will only suffer. You… Be obedient and bend a little. It doesn’t mean that your bones will break. You should have been prepared for this kind of thing. Think about it from another angle. This is also an opportunity. If you seize it, you will really be able to fight with the boss in the future. Are you listening?”
“Si Huang.” Yu Xi, who was also in the dining room, called out when he saw Si Huang approaching.
Everyone else in the dining room turned silent and looked over.
Si Huang also saw the man sitting next to Guan Li trying to persuade her.
This man looked to be in his thirties. He was dressed in a classic agent style and had a face that was neither handsome nor ugly. To put it bluntly, he was very ordinary. What was extraordinary was that he was listed as one of the gold medal agents in Dongyu Media, and his name was He Bin.
When He Bin saw Si Huang, he stood up and walked towards her, thanking her politely, “I have already heard what happened yesterday from Guan Li. Thank you very much for your help, Master Si. I will definitely express my gratitude to Master Si in the future. Now our Guan Li still has other things to do and has to return to the company in a hurry, so we won’t bother you anymore.”
“That’s not possible.” Si Huang smiled, turned her head to look at Guan Li, and said to He Bin calmly: “Sister Guan has promised to accompany me as my female companion at to the “The Emperor’s Path” celebration banquet, so she can’t just leave.”
He Bin frowned and said politely: “It is not difficult to find a new female companion based on the conditions of Master Si, but if our Guan Li returns to the company late, it will be a heavy blow to our future.”
“Is that so?” Si Huang walked towards Guan Li.
He Bin: “Look at what Mr. Si said, can I still lie to people…”
“I will do it if I have promised it.” Guan Li’s voice sounded.
He Bin’s expression immediately froze, and he glared at Guan Li with anger in his eyes.
Guan Li stubbornly raised her head to meet his gaze and said with a wry smile: “Brother Bin, I still remember when I was assigned to work for you, the first thing you said to me was that you would help me become a film and television superstar, and you would definitely stop anyone in the circle from doing those rotten things that happened to me? Do you still remember?”
He Bin’s eyes flashed with confusion, obviously not as clear as Guan Li’s, but looking at Guan Li’s expression, he knew that she really meant what she said. So, he couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed, and his voice gradually lowered, “Sometimes… people should face reality. It’s just that you are not strong enough and your capital is not as good as others…” After saying this, he himself grabbed his hair dejectedly, stopped talking, and then shouted irritably, “If possible, I don’t want you to be like this. I can be considered a gold medal agent because of you and thanks to you, I can’t have no emotions for you after working together for so many years. I also don’t want to do that kind of evil deed to harm you. But you have to understand who you are resisting. In the eyes of those powerful people, it is too easy to kill someone!”
Guan Li pursed her lips and said nothing. There was a trace of hesitation in her eyes. She didn’t know whether her persistence was right or not. She knew clearly that she was hitting a stone with an egg and might end up destroying herself and others. Then what was the point?
“Sister Guan.”
Hearing this voice, Guan Li raised her head and saw the young and perfect face opposite.
Si Huang looked at her quietly, and said a little helplessly: “Actually, what I said yesterday was a bit harsh. I misunderstood Sister Guan’s words and I was a bit self-righteous.”
Guan Li shook her head and lowered her eyelids, “It’s nothing, you see. It’s normal not to be used to this kind of thing.”
Si Huang glanced at her hand that was clenched into a fist, “No matter what decision you make, Sister Guan, you have your own considerations. No one knows what will happen in the future. At least now, Sister Guan is still my respected senior and friend.”
“Are you trying to persuade me to accept it now?” Guan Li raised her head again, enduring the inner struggle, and looked closely at the young man in front of her.
“No.” Si Huang shook her head and smiled: “I just suddenly realized that I shouldn’t impose my emotions and will on Sister Guan. My ideas may not be all right, but…”
Her expression became serious, “No matter Sister Guan, believe it or not, when you fight against unequal treatment and public opinion, I will stand by your side and help you.”
Guan Li’s expression was startled.
He Bin who was listening also looked at Si Huang in surprise.
Si Huang: “I can be Sister Guan’s backer. Fenghuang will never force its artists to do anything improper.”
A sweet voice penetrated Guan Li’s ears, and her eyes met a pair of quiet and peaceful black eyes. She was deeply shocked at that moment and had an urge to cry.
Her eyes were hot, and her throat seemed to be blocked. She opened her eyes but didn’t know what to say. She couldn’t give Si Huang a clear answer, then what else could she say?
“Ha!” An angry laugh interrupted her sentimental mood, and He Bin stood up angrily, “I thought Mr. Si really cared about us, but it turned out he was poaching people.” After saying this, and realizing that his tone was too strong, so he suppressed his anger and softened his voice, and said in reparation: “I know that Mr. Si is very capable and will definitely grow into a big shot in the future. But now Fenghuang Entertainment has just started, how can you compete with Dongyu Media, or is Mr. Si willing to pay the huge breach of contract fee for Guan Li?”
“Okay.” Si Huang responded.
He Bin was stunned for a second, and then looked at her in disbelief.
Si Huang smiled and said: “This is the sincerity that the company should show when recruiting people. As long as you are really determined, Sister Guan.”
This time He Bin was speechless. He even doubted whether Si Huang was having an affair with Guan Li or wanted to, otherwise, why would he be so interested in Guan Li?
Regarding this point, they had to say that He Bin has been in this circle for a long time, and his thoughts had naturally become complicated and colored.
“No, the matter hasn’t come to that point yet.” Guan Li refused decisively. She loosened her clenched hands on her lap and showed a faint smile to Si Huang, “Thank you.”
This child had good intentions. The more sincere he was, the less she could involve him, as that would only make her despise herself, for fear of contaminating this rare true relationship, even if it was just friendship.
….
Guan Li had made up her mind not to go back, and He Bin couldn’t kidnap her back. While Si Huang and Guan Li were having breakfast, he went outside to make a phone call.
Through the glass, Si Huang saw He Bin’s face changing constantly while talking on the phone. From being humble and trying to please, to being patient and aggrieved, and finally to being helpless and angry, the result was already clear.
He hung up the phone and called Guan Li’s assistant out to tell him a few words. Then the assistant hurriedly left, while he sat outside and smoked alone with his back to everyone.
About twenty minutes later, the assistant returned with several shopping bags.
When He Bin walked in with the shopping bags, Si Huang and the others had already finished breakfast.
“This is the dress and jewelry. Since you are going to attend the banquet, you should show off your usual Queen Guan style.” He Bin handed the shopping bags to Guan Li.
Guan Li looked at him and thanked him gently, then took the shopping bags and went to the room to change clothes.
He Bin looked at Si Huang and hesitated to speak.
At this time, Yu Xi came over and reminded Si Huang, “It’s time for you to change clothes.”
“Yeah.” Si Huang responded and passed by He Bin.
She had said everything that needed to be said, and there was no point in saying more.
The dress she was wearing to attend the “The Emperor’s Path” celebration banquet was chosen by her stylist in advance. The white long-sleeved shirt had a retro style, with dark blue scales connecting from the chest to the corner of the other end, making it look like a dragon. It was also like the light spots of fallen leaves. Below was a pair of black trousers, which was very distinctive and could not be controlled by ordinary people. Instead, the clothes could make the person look dull.
This kind of clothing was in line with her aloof and elegant image in the role of Prince Qianji, but it was not too formal so as to seem old-fashioned. It was just right for attending the celebration banquet of “The Emperor’s Path”.
When Si Huang walked out, Yu Xi and others who had already finished preparing were shocked. Then a specialized hairstylist took care of her hair, while Du Qiang simply applied a layer of isolation cream on her face. After looking at her face for a while, she sighed: “I really hope that Your Majesty will star in some large-scale fantasy movies, so that I can feel at ease receiving my salary. Normally, I would be embarrassed to do too much on Your Majesty’s face, it has really become a burden.”
Si Huang smiled and replied: “There will be a chance.”
Du Qiang’s eyes lit up, “Your Majesty, don’t dislike me when the time comes. If there is a more powerful master, just let me start.”
Si Huang responded and came down, raised his eyes and saw Guan Li walking this way.
