Schemes and Business Deals(1)

Cen Yao was used to the scheming and dealing in the entertainment industry. There is no place where there was only light without darkness.

Even she who was born in a wealthy family came across her own share of fake and malicious people. Luckily ,even though her family wholeheartedly support her career they would never stand by and watch her harmed. However ,no matter how protected she was in order to survive and thrive she herself needed to be observant.

So out of habit more than anything she noticed how suspicious the stylist's assistant was behaving. Even that shorter and plain , amateur model was in cahoots with her. Those two tried to brush off their behavior as a normal conversation but they were acting too secretive and jumpy.

' So obvious ' Cen Yao noted . They didn't look like they were going to harm her however they kept casting forlorn looks at Ren Wu who was casually chatting with his childhood friend.

' Were the saesang fans?'

Although they were goggly eyed and love struck towards Xiao Wu they didn't approach him.They also didn't any hate or hurtful intent towards him.

Finally, Cen Yao decided to ignore them. If they wanted to move against herself or Ren Wu she definitely wouldn't spare them.

' This was simply downright bullying!'

Pan Li fumed as Song Xia and Sun Shuai ignored her presence. That Sun Shuai was the absolute worst! She was childhood friends with Ren Wu however she didn't even call her over when they were talking! The most embarrassing thing was when she went over to introduce herself, Ren Wu just gave a dismissive nod and said ,

" Hello."

When it came to the rest of the amateur models he was friendly and spoke few words.Why would he ignore her if Sun Shuai didn't bad- mouth her?

' Why was she so mean? Earlier she pretended to be such a kind- hearted ,good two shoes but now she was showing her true colors!'

" Shuai Girl, yesterday you gave me such a surprise! I didn't expect to see you although my mother mentioned that you are studying at International Film Academy of D City . Did you get my flowers at the beginning of the year? How are you finding your classes?"

" I was surprised as well Brother Wu! Thank you for the flowers they were beautiful. Classes are going great. I was able to get into the Moonlight Desires Campaign because of the auditions held by the Academy. How is the filming for your new movie going?"

Although Ren Wu was known to be talkative he was usually never this enthusiastic towards a person. This caused Pan Li to grind her teeth and she also noticed an assistant stylist's envious look.

An evil glint appeared in her eyes as she came up with a plan. Thinking about the previous humiliations she suffered and how she was dismissed in front of Ren Wu she decided to lose her demeanor as an elite and take revenge.

' Every person has their limits Sun Shuai. Who told you to ignore me? Huh? No wonder Teacher Tang was so mean to me... You are his student after all . Also now, in front of Brother Ren Wu you are probably slandering me... Taking all the attention for yourself. Don't blame me for making you pay !After all it is your own fault...'

Filming of the advert started at 4:30 p.m. at the Han Ru Casino and Hotel.The Director, Film Crew, Makeup Team and Stylists were all set up and ready to go by 3:30 p.m.

The venue itself was a gorgeous sky lounge that perfectly outlined the city night with countless lights. The whole thing was bustling , busy and ambitious .

Once the models were ready the plan was to headed out to the sky lounge and then the outdoor terrace. Do some filming at various venues and the final part of the commercial was for everyone to be in the last shot on the terrace.

" Miss Sun, I brought your shoes. "A girl with a cute face and hair pulled in a bun smiled at Sun Shuai .

Fang Wei , was a temporary assistant stylist while the assistant stylist was on maternity leave .She was diligent and worked hard but she had one large flaw that she was idol and actor crazy. Coincidentally, her favorite actor whom she devoted a shrine to was Ren Wu. After, Pan Li approached her she couldn't resist the temptation of punishing the person who stole her Husband Ren Wu's attention ! Ren Wu could only belong to all his fans or only Fang Wei. She couldn't stand the idea that Ren Wu could like somebody else.

Sister Zhenya , the head stylist,came around and looked at the shoes Sun Shuai was wearing and frowned.

" Sun Shuai, you still look at bit short in these heels... please swap with Song Xia."

Song Xia was currently with Shi Qi who was chatting with Cen Yao's agent . Jiang May, was an ace agent of Huxia Entertainment Modeling Agency. Currently ,she was assigned as Cen Yao's exclusive agent.

She had a more relaxed , casual feel that differed from Shi Qi. Her jeans, designer sneakers,semi-formal shirt and sleek ponytail differed from Shi Qi's suits , heels and white silk blouse.

However ,no matter how casual and innocent Jiang May appeared she was no lap dog. She was a cunning and a smiling,ferocious tiger when the need arose.Right now, she was eager to bring such a naturally talented unpolished gem into their company.

Of course ,Shi Qi needed to be included in order not to provoke relationships between aunt and niece. Yet, when Jiang May met Shi Qi she realized she was a sharp and capable individual. Although ,right now ,Shi Qi could only be a 2nd line agent at most. Well anyway ,nothing could threaten Cen Yao's or her position right now so it was better to recruit talented people for the company.

" Miss Song and Miss Shi do you'll have any plans to change agencies? I'm not sure if you will be interested in our Huxia Entertainment?"She smiled casually before handing Shi Qi a card.

Before either of them could reply Sun Shuai came over to change shoes interrupting the conversation.

' Ouch'

Song Xia managed to ignore the shooting pain in her ankle but it was truly excruciating.Maybe things in general have been going quite easily from the time she arrived in this new world. Life was full of ups and downs so no wonder she suffered from this set back.

Director Lai was a talented director with his his own eccentric nature but he was neither cruel or unreasonable.So he didn't blame Song Xia and was simply annoyed at the assistant stylist who in her haste bumped Song Xia . This lead to her slipping down the stairs and hurting her ankle.
