Chapter 41: Leading Lady

Chapter 41

Little brat, still complaining that she talks too much!

Zhong Ruanxing waved her fist at Zhong You, who immediately said ingratiatingly, "Of course my favorite brother is still you!"

With words like these, she's acting like some sea monarch!

It takes a real sister to be able to scam like this. If her suitors heard these heartfelt words from a child, they'd be scared away for sure!

But they were sisters tied by heartstrings, and by the time Zhong You was leaving, she was already clinging to Ruanxing's neck and whimpering, "Brother, I don't want you to go."

Naturally Zhong Ruanxing was reluctant to part as well, but given her current identity it was improper, so after coaxing her sister a few times with promises to take her to the amusement park next time, she finally returned the teary-eyed little bunny into Song Jinxing's care.

She waved her hand. "Take care of everything."

Song Jinxing hugged Zhong You and nodded. "You too."

Their eyes met, two people sharing a secret unique in the whole world smiled knowingly.

The next morning, Ran Ting brought the newly appointed assistant Wu Chengwang to pick up Song Jinxing and go to the airport. Times had changed, and this time Star Ent. had finally deigned to arrange a car for Zhong Ruanxing, and had generously bought her a business class ticket. Findd new stories at novelhall.com

All these years, Zhong Ruanxing had only taken economy.

Zhong Ruanxing wasn't well known, and with how low key they were being, no one recognized her at the airport. The occasional glances cast their way were only because of her rare beauty.

Even with a mask on, she couldn't conceal her graceful bearing.

Song Jinxing heard her worry, and though he didn't think greetings were necessary before official work started with a stranger, yesterday Zhong Ruanxing had told him to listen to his agent's arrangements sometimes.

Did 'sometimes' include now?

Oh well, he would listen to her.

So he put away the script, stood up and walked over to Kou An'an. Ran Ting hurried to follow.

Kou An'an's entourage of assistants and bodyguards watched them approach warily. Song Jinxing stopped three steps away. "Hello."

Ran Ting quickly followed up, "Ms. Kou, this is Zhong Ruanxing. She'll be playing the second female lead in Spy. It's our honor to act with you."

After speaking, she waited expectantly for a response.

Kou An'an wore sunglasses, so her eyes weren't visible, but she nodded lightly to indicate she heard.

Ran Ting felt a little awkward. Song Jinxing didn't feel it was a problem though. As someone used to high office, he had always been sparing with strangers. Kou An'an's reaction was within his expectations, so he simply nodded back, then turned and walked back to his seat to continue reading the script.

Ran Ting suppressed her embarrassment and bowed deeply to Kou An'an before hurrying after her artist.

Afterwards, until boarding the plane, there was no more interaction between the two groups.

As it was Ran Ting's first time experiencing something like this, it was only natural she would feel bad. But she also understood this was how the entertainment industry worked. A wildly popular celebrity wouldn't spare a glance for a no-name little artist like Ruanxing.

As the plane took off, shooting into the blue sky like an arrow leaving the bowstring, she silently made a resolution over the roar of the engines: she would make Ruanxing popular! So no one would look down on her again!
