43 43. aware

By the time the two met, Old Su had taken another round of photos without YuTang and finally felt that the inconsistency between them disappeared.

The ones who were not in the know-how, snickered when they saw YuTang being dismissed which included many of the newcomers, who couldn't help but have a smug smile... so, what if he found a support from nowhere, as long as, he wasn't accepted by the industry he didn't have any place...

Even if Old Su had recruited him, he had offended a senior in the industry, he was probably called here today so that they could slap him with reality... yes, nothing had changed, he was still the man facing a ban!

On the other hand, YuTang was a bit distressed as well, even he wasn't sure why he was called out...

ChunHua was here today and he had wanted to show her his best side, even though it was a small job and he was just there for being in the background, he had still wanted to show off a bit.. well, he wasn't aware that this was similar to what (male) peacocks did to court their mates; they showed off their best sides, well, that for now is the story for another day~

Anyway, Baby Yu had a pout on his face and was almost on the verge of opening that door to his inner negativity and start blaming himself for everything again!

But before that, he saw ChunHua give him a curious look before turning towards the photographer who had just taken some photos and though satisfies with the result, had a frown on his head, it seemed he wasn't content with it... a charming smile bloomed on her face as she looked back at YuTang, whose eyes had misted again, it really was a wonder how he controlled even his physiological response when he got into his zone before the camera... even when he was a child, the legends he had created in the industry was not few.

It was in ChunHua's hidden closet, but she had a collection of his old videos, which were still on tape... she remembered how cute the child in the diapers was when he looked at the camera, he has really been working in front of the camera even before he turned a year old... this was already engraved in his bones, his visual presence was something that no one could compete with... she also knew that he had once thought of giving up on this industry after that accident, but his passion for the screen manifested as something else and he stopped modelling and went to acting... in the end, he couldn't get far away from this industry and wanted to be a part of it!

Maybe, he had wanted to keep on doing this for this was mother's wish, but ChunHua who had a better understanding about him, knew that he simply loved being here and had put over 20 years of effort on it... ChunHua may be extremely biased, but if he didn't deserve a chance, then probably no one else did as well!!

She saw him give her a confused glance when he saw her smiling and so, she replied, "Congratulations, artist YuTang. Your performance today has landed you a job from this man!", when she talked as if, she had eyes on her back, she pulled Zhou Xuan, who had just reached them, to her side without looking back.

YuTang froze... he didn't know what to make of it--

"Oh~ Don't think that he chose you because of me or something, okay! If you couldn't get an invite from this man yourself, then I would be the first to give up on you~ I hate incompetent staff and artist... I don't think I need to tell you twice about it. Okay?", her voice sounded like she was joking and had a frivolous tone to it, but both YuTang and Zhou Xuan were aware that she wasn't the least bit joking.

ChunHua may not mind being that support and chance for YuTang, well, she won't allow anyone else to take the position actually, but when it came to the part where she judged his potential, she was truly unbiased. She would rather support him financially and from the start than spend money on his career that was doomed to fall... ChunHua was generally reckless, but her work was her holy grounds!

Zhou Xuan came out of his daze faster and spoke outrightly, "YuTang, you can believe in my words... I, myself, would like to work with, not just as an executive from the company but also as a model. You don't have to answer me now, you can take your time. I'll be waiting for a good answer."

YuTang was already shocked by what ChunHua told him, but this added more to that... He won't say that he never wanted to work this man, nor did he thought that he won't be able to work with him, but he never thought it would be this soon.

You see, he was at the rock bottom of this industry and the man was at the top of this country's modelling scene, even if he didn't want to, a comparison was given and the difference was too big...

He felt his body shiver from this, if he talked now, his voice would definitely tremble, he was quite overwhelmed!

Still, he needed to answer, if he was acknowledging his potential as an artist, there was no need to make him wait; he himself wanted to get out of this quagmire, as soon as, possible and this was once in a lifetime kind of opportunity!

He was about to answer when he felt a soft pinch on his back, his clothing was still heavy and his sensations because of the cold were suffering, but he still felt that and reflexively stood straight and looked at the source, which was none other than ChunHua, who by now had a blinding smile.

"Xuan-ge, are you duping 'my' future artist..?", the way she said 'my' was too possessive and threatening at the same time.

YuTang gave her a strange look, as if, asking, why would a man like Zhou Xuan, dupe a person like himself..?

ChunHua saw his look and her smile almost cracked, ' Isn't this boy a little too ignorant about his own skills and value?!! Oh, wait! Isn't it the fault of that ex-fiance of hers?', just thinking about how he has been banning her TangTang all this while, she felt like banning him from his own body, her anger was about to spill out, but she swallowed it back... because though it couldn't be helped, even she was at fault for not being able to help him out...

Well, she will compensate him for everything from now on and as for the main culprit... a little blow to their business will do the charm...

The two men by her side saw her face turn evil and virtually gulped their saliva, they were a little scared of her.... Zhou Xuan particularly felt that she was thinking of ways to punish him inside that evil head of hers and just thinking about him made him almost kneel down for forgiveness!
