"By the way, where do you live?" Ji Wenyue asked curiously.
Xing Yuan's eyes lit up, and she smiled a little shyly, "Um... it's okay if I live with you, sister." Kuaishuge
Ji Wenyue chuckled and tapped Xing Yuan's forehead, "How old are you? Aren't you afraid of being inferior to me later if you live with me!"
It wasn't Ji Wenyue boasting, her face was quite iconic in the entire entertainment industry.
Xing Yuan snorted angrily, her scrutinizing gaze falling on Ji Wenyue's face, "Although sister is beautiful, I'm not bad either!"
Slightly tipsy, Xing Yuan put her arm around Ji Wenyue's neck, her cheeks flushed as she pressed them against Ji Wenyue's to cool down, and pouted, "Okay? It's so late, can you bear to let a little girl like me go home alone?"
Ji Wenyue couldn't bear it, so Xing Yuan successfully moved into Ji Wenyue's home by virtue of her persistent tactics.
Given Xing Yuan's personality, once she moved in, she wouldn't think about moving out again.
Ji Wenyue was a celebrity, so her residence had excellent privacy. Her neighbors were either celebrities or people from the business district. Her rooms were spacious, so taking in a homeless and drunk young girl was not a problem.
Xing Yuan even deliberately pretended to be drunk and pestered her to sleep with her.
Ji Wenyue maintained her bottom line on this matter, kindly advising Xing Yuan to be mindful of her boundaries.
Then, Xing Yuan reluctantly moved into the guest room.
It's okay, keep trying, Xing Yuan encouraged herself, then took out her phone and started contacting the variety show.
This idea was certainly not proposed by anyone else. Only Xing Yuan herself would suggest participating in such a variety show.
Major bosses with contracts worth millions were too busy to play such childish games.
Xing Yuan delegated unimportant company matters to her assistant and the board, then selected a few people from her contact list who she wanted her company to cooperate with.
Her conditions were simple: as long as they participated in this variety show, she would sign a contract with them after it was done. However, they needed to keep it confidential during this period and not reveal the details of their transaction.
Although Xing Yuan's entertainment company was not as successful as her father's, it was still one of the best in the domestic entertainment industry. Most bosses were willing to sign a large contract with her for a few months.
After securing the actors, Xing Yuan directly contacted her assistant to prepare the venue and contact a director, preferably for a live broadcast.
Live broadcasts had high ratings. As long as she and her sister performed well, they would announce their partnership immediately after the variety show ended. Very beautiful!
Xing Yuan snapped her fingers, her expression filled with uncontrollable excitement.
Amidst full anticipation, Xing Yuan drifted off to sleep.
However, Ji Wenyue, lying in bed, tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Finally, she sat up.
Her smooth long hair cascaded over her shoulders. Her expression was conflicted. Why was A Yuan suddenly so intimate with her?
If their usual interactions were those of ordinary friends or family, then tonight's interactions clearly carried a lover's intimacy.
Ji Wenyue lowered her gaze, her eyes complex. Could she possibly like herself too?
One slept soundly, while the other was almost sleepless all night, even getting up early to make breakfast for Xing Yuan.
Xing Yuan went to the bathroom to wash up, and also combed her short hair, styling it into a rather cool look. Then she grinned and greeted Ji Wenyue, "Good morning, sister."
"Morning!" Ji Wenyue yawned. Her makeup was exquisite, and she had changed into a blue long dress to go for a job.
"The food is warming in the microwave. I have to go out for a job soon. Lock the door yourself after you eat," Ji Wenyue instructed.
Xing Yuan smiled and extended her hand, "Sister, do you want to give me a spare key?"
Ji Wenyue didn't know what she was thinking. She clearly felt she should maintain a distance from Xing Yuan to prevent herself from getting too deeply involved or having any inappropriate thoughts. Yet, a part of her secretly looked forward to seeing her.
So, she took out a key from her bag and handed it to Xing Yuan.
She knew her feelings were pathological and abnormal, but she couldn't stop thinking about her, even craving her warmth. The only thing she could do was maintain a certain distance from her.
As their eyes met, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Li Xiao's voice came from outside, "Teacher Ji, it's getting late! Hurry up and leave!"
"Oh, okay." Ji Wenyue agreed, picked up her bag from the chair, and ran out.
Li Xiao saw a figure flash inside through the crack in the door, then smiled somewhat suggestively. She patted Ji Wenyue's shoulder, "What? Teacher Ji is hiding a lover?"
Li Xiao had been with Ji Wenyue for about five years and only had Ji Wenyue as her artist, so their relationship was naturally very good.
Ji Wenyue's heart skipped a beat. For the first time, she didn't retort.
She just chuckled lightly and gave Li Xiao a weak glare, playfully scolding, "Don't talk nonsense!"
"Okay, okay, no nonsense," Li Xiao chuckled softly, patted Ji Wenyue's shoulder, her eyes conveying two words: "I understand!"
"Alright, stop messing around!" Ji Wenyue said vaguely.
After a couple of jokes, Li Xiao nodded seriously, her expression earnest, "Alright! No more messing around. I'll tell you about your work for this time..."
After breakfast, Xing Yuan began to handle her work.
She had suddenly returned from abroad, and there were still some matters that needed to be resolved. Moreover, the market of that overseas company was indeed what she needed at this stage, otherwise, she wouldn't have been worn down for so long.
To show her sincerity, she even went to the appointment in person, only to be stood up. But if this company wasn't good, she could completely find another one.
Thinking this, a call with an overseas number came in.
"Fuck! Miss Xing, where are you? You haven't arrived for so long, I really doubt your sincerity in this cooperation!" Anger said furiously.
He had a large business and had never been stood up before. People had always begged him to do things. Now, someone so rude had appeared, how could he not be furious!
Hearing the scolding from the other end of the phone, Xing Yuan directly placed her phone on the table and muted it. Seven or eight minutes later, she unmuted it and heard Anger's confused voice.
"President Xing, are you listening?" Anger suppressed his anger and his voice became much more polite.
"Yes," Xing Yuan replied lightly.
At that time, she was solely focused on her career and didn't realize this. She needed the overseas market simply to develop further, while Anger needed the domestic market out of necessity.
