Chapter 26: New Agent

Chapter 26

Zeng Mingsong had always been attracted to Zhong Ruanxing's physical appearance. In his mind, a femme fatale should look just like her. Otherwise, he wouldn't have overlooked so many famous artists and instead chosen her, an unknown newcomer.

Today, Song JinXing's performance truly showcased the aura of a superior female spy, especially the way she handled the gun with such skill that Zeng Mingsong couldn't help but applaud.

However, due to the audition process, he still had to say to Song JinXing after the performance, "That's enough. Go back and wait for further notice."

Song JinXing nodded as a greeting and walked away.

As soon as she left, the screenwriter let out a sigh of relief, exclaiming, "This actress's presence is so intimidating. Just one glance from her, and I feel like I would confess even the smallest secrets from my kindergarten days of snatching the desk's little red flower!"

The producer burst into laughter and said, "It seems that Director Zeng's discerning eye for talent is spot on. She is indeed a promising prospect." He patted Zeng Mingsong on the shoulder and added, "I apologize, Director Zeng. I should not have doubted your judgment."

Zeng Mingsong also hadn't expected Zhong Ruanxing to bring him such a pleasant surprise, and he couldn't help but smile. "When have I ever made a wrong judgment?"

As soon as Song JinXing stepped out, You Xinle, who had been waiting outside, approached her with a more nervous demeanor than even Song JinXing herself. "How did it go?" Yôur favorite stories at novelhall.com

Song JinXing nodded slightly and replied, "It went fine."

You Xinle wore a pained expression and said, "You were in such a hurry, and there wasn't enough time to prepare properly. It's all because of your agent. It's not easy to have this opportunity, and she didn't take it seriously enough! Look at the others, they all have their agents accompanying them. It's just the two of us, poor souls!"

It turned out that You Xinle and Song JinXing shared a similar predicament. While You Xinle blamed Weng Hanzhi for Zhong Ruanxing, she was also secretly complaining about her own agent's lack of dedication.

"Hey, Duan Mangyun!" You Xinle waved her hand at Liu Cai, who was sitting not far away. Liu Cai forced a smile that seemed somewhat unnatural, and You Xinle turned back to ask Song JinXing, "Since we're done with the audition, how about we have dinner together? I know a newly opened restaurant, and I heard it's pretty good."

Song JinXing replied calmly, "I have something else to do. You guys go ahead." After a pause, she added, "Thank you for today."

This made You Xinle feel a bit embarrassed. "Oh, don't thank me for anything."

Song JinXing replied calmly, "I'll be at the company."

As he was about to leave, he received another call. It was polite and courteous. "Miss Zhong, I am Xu Qishen, the lawyer personally hired by Song JinXing for you. He asked me to contact you, saying that he has already discussed it with you."

Xu Qishen was his personal lawyer. Last time, when they had dinner with Zhong Ruanxing at Four Seasons Cloud Peak, he sent a message to Xu Qishen with his own phone number, asking him to work for Zhong Ruanxing from now on, with the same salary and benefits.

Xu Qishen naturally had no objections. As long as the money was in place, he could have his entire law firm work for this artist.

Song JinXing got straight to the point, "Hello, I am going to Shengyu Entertainment now. Let's meet there because I need you for something."

Xu Qishen didn't expect Miss Zhong to be like this. He hesitated for a moment before responding, "Alright, Miss Zhong, see you later."

Half an hour later, "Zhong Ruanxing" appeared in Weng Hanzhi's office with the lawyer.

Weng Hanzhi held a cup of coffee in one hand and the business card handed over by Xu Qishen in the other. She looked at the name of the prestigious law firm on it and was momentarily stunned. After reacting, she couldn't help but sneer, "Just changing agents, and you even brought a lawyer. What, do you really think you're a big shot?"

Xu Qishen stood in front of Song JinXing and pushed up his glasses, smiling calmly. "Changing agents also involves adjusting the artist's contract. If everything is confirmed, then let's start the process. May I ask who the new agent will be?"

As Song JinXing's personal lawyer, Xu Qishen naturally possessed exceptional professional abilities. The moment she laid eyes on Xu Qishen, she could tell he was a cunning fox, quick-witted and not to be trifled with. One moment of carelessness in their exchange could result in her being caught off guard or revealing a flaw in her argument. Though Weng Hanzhi felt a surge of frustration, she had no desire to engage with such a person and simply wanted to swiftly send these two troublemakers away.

Realizing she couldn't afford to provoke them, she coldly made a phone call and said, "Let her in."

Soon, the office door was pushed open, and a young girl with a youthful round face stepped in nervously.

She seemed fresh out of college, untouched by the harsh realities of the world. Her forehead was beaded with sweat, and her voice trembled as she greeted the unfamiliar faces in the room, "Hello, Sister Weng. Hello, Zhong Ruanxing. I... I am your new agent."

A triumphant smile flickered across Weng Hanzhi's face as she said, "Ah, your new agent, Ran Ting. Let's get acquainted."
