Lin ngyao thought that after offending Jin Zhengxiong that day, the Lin family would soon face retaliation. She made thorough preparations and was tense for several days, but a week passed, and the Jin family did nothing, as if the previous events hadn’t happened. This made Lin ngyao even more anxious instead of relaxed.
"Xu Ke, I don’t know why I’m feeling very uneasy today, as if sothing bad might happen." Lin ngyao said anxiously, touching her sowhat fast-beating heart.
"If you’re feeling uneasy, I’ll accompany you to work today. With by your side, you won’t have anything to worry about." Xu Ke lifted his neck so Lin ngyao could help him tie his tie.
"No need, maybe I’m just overthinking. I’ve been preoccupied with the Jin family lately, becoming a bit sensitive." Lin ngyao shook her head, saying with a sweet smile on her face.
"Really don’t need to accompany you to the Lin family?" Xu Ke asked back.
"Really, you’ve been with for several days, you should check on your own company too, or else, after so days, people at your company might not recognize you." Lin ngyao joked.
"Alright then, I will follow my wife’s orders, go to the company today, and go to the Lin family with you tomorrow. Don’t have lunch alone, I’ll co over and find you at noon." Xu Ke said softly, and the two exchanged a kiss before heading out to work together.
After dropping Lin ngyao off at the Lin family company, Xu Ke directly made a turn towards Star Entertainnt.
The most frequent Jiahe Group branch Xu Ke visited in Luocheng was Jiahe Group, while the least frequented was Star Entertainnt managed by Liu Binglin. Therefore, Xu Ke was directly stopped by the front desk of Star Entertainnt when he arrived unexpectedly.
"Sorry sir, you’re not a company employee; we can’t let you in." True to its entertainnt nature, even the receptionist at Star Entertainnt was an eye-catching presence in a crowd.
"If you’re here to apply as an artist, please queue in the hall; we’ll call you when it’s your turn." The receptionist firmly stood in front of Xu Ke and spoke.
Just as Xu Ke was about to speak, a slightly hoarse and low female voice ca over, "I know this person, no need to stop him; let him up. He’s the boss of our company." Liao Yanyan, wearing sneakers and a high ponytail, dressed purely and brightly, stopped in front of Xu Ke with a smile as she spoke to the receptionist. Then she fixed her gaze on Xu Ke, her eyes briefly flashing with calculation and experience, but it quickly disappeared like a shooting star, leaving nothing.
"Hello Mr. Xu, I am Liao Yanyan, an artist under Star Entertainnt." Liao Yanyan extended one hand towards Xu Ke, while the other was behind her back. She tilted her head slightly, her cheeks exhibited a light blush, her gaze innocent and shy, resembling a pure goddess from school.
Xu Ke raised one eyebrow, his naturally dark eyes almost as deep as night now, unexpectedly giving off a seductive vibe. Unbeknownst to Liao Yanyan, Xu Ke harbored so vigilance towards her.
Liao Yanyan’s outstretched hand remained in the air, awkwardly suspended. She could almost hear the mocking laughter from around her; inadvertently, she nearly bit down, breaking her silvery teeth due to this incident. Thankfully, a shred of reason prevented her from displaying a twisted, hideous expression.
"I already said he is the boss of our company; why aren’t you letting us through?" Liao Yanyan’s temper flared due to Xu Ke’s rejection, but unable to lash out at Xu Ke, she directed her irritation at the reception.
"Sorry Miss Liao, we didn’t an to doubt you, but after all, it’s a big deal, and we need confirmation from Mr. Liu before allowing anyone up." The receptionist glanced at Liao Yanyan with contempt. This contempt ca swiftly and vanished even quicker; if Xu Ke hadn’t confird it, he might have missed it.
It seems there are significant issues at Star Entertainnt unbeknownst to , Xu Ke thought, rubbing his nose, anwhile his gaze towards Liao Yanyan deepened, though she interpreted it as a man’s interest towards a woman.
But in fact, Xu Ke felt that Liao Yanyan seed familiar, as if he had seen her sowhere before.
Liao Yanyan was shocked that a re receptionist dared to contradict her, exacerbated by Xu Ke watching and potential stars behind her; her face felt like it had been peeled off and sared with chili, burning hot.
"What, you don’t believe what I said? This person is truly the boss of Star Entertainnt; I kindly reminded you, and you suspect of lying." Liao Yanyan displayed an aggrieved expression, "If you truly don’t believe , call Mr. Liu and see if I’m telling the truth. Truly a case of a dog biting Lv Dongbin, not recognizing a good person’s heart." Liao Yanyan stomped her foot and glanced sidelong at Xu Ke’s expression.
"No matter what you say, it’s the rule. Without confirming the identity, I cannot let anyone in, please understand." The receptionist noticed all of Liao Yanyan’s small actions, but in their eyes flashed a disdainful look, before focusing back on Xu Ke, once again asking for his identity, who he’s here to see, and whether he had an appointnt.
Xu Ke kept part of his focus on Liao Yanyan, wanting to know her true intentions for approaching him, while saying, "I’m here for Liu Binglin, tell him Xu Ke is waiting downstairs, and he should co down to get ." Xu Ke’s slender index finger lightly tapped rhythmically on the front desk.
The receptionist glanced at Xu Ke, then conveyed the ssage to Liu Binglin’s secretary according to Xu Ke’s instructions.
"Why are you still standing here?" Xu Ke saw Liao Yanyan had no intention of leaving, and with a pitiable look, akin to an abandoned lover, staring at him. He frowned, "Before speaking bluntly, he did so without any rcy.
Liao Yanyan couldn’t believe Xu Ke would speak these words, feeling a surge of anger rush from her heart to her head. If not for recalling the mysterious person’s instructions and materials, she might have rashly dashed forward and given him a lesson.
Liao Yanyan strained to stand by Xu Ke’s side, weakly saying, "I’ll leave first then."
Without waiting for Xu Ke’s response, Liao Yanyan bit her lower lip, her face sullen as she took the elevator upstairs.
