10 Living in poverty

Yang Jia got ready for her meeting with Manager Lee. She went to the luxurious living room trying to look for her bag, when she remembered that she left her keys at 'somebody's' house when she arrived from overseas.

Now she didn't have nothing, no car, no phone, no home, and no MONEY!! She was living in poverty.

She didn't want to go to the Yang ancestral house because she didn't want to distress her grandfather. The old man wasn't young anymore and if something stirred his emotions, it will deteriorate his health.

Now what to do? How was she suppose to meet Manager Lee? Should she ask the Devil?

Yang Jia summoned up her courage and went toward his room and knocked on the door

There was no sound 'He has to be in his room. I already checked the study room and he definitely hasn't left to the company'

Yang Jia slowly opened the door to confirm that Liang Guozhi wasn't in the room.

She lowly walked into the the room. She heard the door of the bathroom opening. Yang Jia quickly turned toward the door and saw the handsome man walking out, with just a towel covering his lower body.

Her eyes stopped on his sexy eight packs and slowly moved toward his biceps and at the end, her eyes landed on his strong, firm chest.

Liang Guozhi had no expression, but his eyes had a small smiley crescents. He could feel her eyes roaming around his body, that small action ignited a small fire within his body.

Meanwhile Yang Jia was admiring the Devil's body. Oh how much did she wanted to reach her hand out and touch those well-refined muscles.

"*cough* *cough*" Liang Guozhi interrupted

Yang Jia came out of her gaze and looked at Liang Guozhi. Her face slowly turned tomato red. Oh this was so embarrassing. She actually had such thoughts?

"I'm sorry, you can get ready first" she quickly strode toward the door, but Liang Guozhi stopped her.

"Do you need me with something?"

How was she supposed to ask him when her mind is jumbled up together because of the way he looks right now

"I.. uh.. have a meeting with someone and I don't have a car and I also don't have money for a cab and I was planning on asking you if you could give me a ride?" She struggled so hard on not stuttering way too much.

When Liang Guozhi heard this, he was over the moon. 'She's starting to ask me to do favors for her, which means that she's starting to depend on me'

Liang Guozhi pretended like he was thinking about it and after a second he nodded his head. "Ok"

Yang Jia was so happy and said "Okay, let's go" she walked towards the door thinking that he was following her, but she felt something was not right. She turned around and looked at Liang Guozhi and her face turned red in embarrassment.

"I still need to change first, or what? Do want to admire my body while I'm driving?" He said with a smirk on his face

His words made Yang Jia even more redder than red "C..ch..change first, I'll be waiting in the living room" she turned around and escaped, closing the door in the process as fast as she could.

Liang Guozhi stood at the same spot watching the fleeing figure. He chuckled to himself 'Oh my Xiao Jia, you're so cute when you're are embarrassed'

Liang Guozhi changed and came out of the room.

"Ok let's go"

Yang Jia didn't even dare to look at him in the eye and just followed him toward the black Maybach.

Just as they were about to leave a big white animal started running toward Yang Jia. He thought that Yang Jia would disappear again.

Yang Jia chuckled and hugged Duke "Don't worry. I'm just going to meet someone. I'll come in a few hours. Okay?"

Her words made Duke relax and reluctantly moved back to let her leave.

Liang Guozhi took her to the restaurant, where Yang Jia was planning to meet Manager Lee. "At what time do I come to pick you up?" He asked as Yang Jia got of the door

"I'll call you"

"But you don't have a phone or my phone number"

Yang Jia wanted to facepalm herself. How could she forget that she didn't have a phone. Right now she wanted to dig a hole and hide herself in it

Yang Jia is suppose to meet Manager Lee at 4:30 in the afternoon. She estimated the time that is was going to take in her meeting with Manager Lee, which was about an hour. "Pick me up 5:45 in the afternoon.

Liang Guozhi nodded and left when he saw her enter the restaurant. Before Yang Jia's meeting, he research everything a bout Feng Lee. Who would've thought that she was the famous manager in his own company, Starlet Media Entertainment. It seems she's going to join his company. Well now he could relax because Feng Lee is a female and not a male. He can't let another man take away his Xiao Jia, not again.

Yang Jia went to the table she reserved and waited for Manager Lee

It wasn't long when Manager Lee arrived. She looked around and saw a beautiful woman seating on the reserved table and walked up to her "Are you Yang Jia?" She said in a cold tone

Feng Lee is a cold and distant person, she would only show her lovely side to her love ones like her parents and elder brother, Feng Chen. Her family background is very influential. Every artist would obviously want to work under her because if they were, their popularity would shoot sky high, but Yang Jia was never interested in popularity, her dream is to act and no to become a celebrity.

Yang Jia wasn't surprised that she would be given the cold shoulder. She researched everything about Feng Lee and knew about her attitude towards strangers.

Yang Jia stood up and said "Yes, Manager Lee. My name is Yang Jia. Please seat down" she gestured her to sit.

After Feng Lee sat down, Yang Jia said "I'm not the kind of person that goes around in circles, so I'll go straight to the point. Feng Lee, be my manager" She asked in a straightforward and calm manner

Feng Lee was taken aback, she never met someone so calm. Before, she would meet people who always stutter because they're too scared to talk, people that act arrogant and think that just because you're a rich young missy you're are superior than others, and there are even people who use the pitiful act and think that because you see them in a sad state you will feel bad for them and would want to help them

Feng Lee respected people who actually appreciated their work. People in the entertainment are far from those kind of people. They just become actors and singers because all they want is to be famous. There is only like 10% of the artists in the entertainment industry that love their work and don't care about their fame.
