C22 You Can't Even Praise Me

After exiting the hall, Li Ran jogged over to whisper a few words into his ear. Shen Ye An's expression changed slightly as he followed his gaze. Qiao Xi looked forward a few times, and suddenly saw Shen Ye Ling striding over from that direction and sitting in the first row below the stage.

The two sons of the Shen family were not on the right track.

Although Qiao Xi was curious about the gossip in the Wealthy Class, he didn't dare show it in front of Shen Yeyan. He smiled as he walked over with him.

As the host, Qiao Xi suddenly thought of Qiao Yang's words as she accompanied him and chatted with the higher-ups, celebrities, and directors present.

After Qiao Xi sat down, coincidentally, beside him was Shen Ye Ling. He was dressed in a grey suit and the color of his dress was similar to hers. Coincidentally, Shen Ye An was giving a speech on stage, so she looked more like his girlfriend.

"Miss Qiao, it's beautiful today."

"Thank you."

"You were here last night?"

Faced with Shen Ye Ling's inquiry, she pondered in her heart and did not dare to reveal too much of Shen Ye An's whereabouts.

"Young Master Shen came over this morning?"

"Yes, I received a temporary notification. The airport is empty this morning."

"The morning sunlight from the imperial city is also very beautiful."

"Indeed. Especially when you stand at the top and watch from the sidelines. It's even more breathtaking."

"It seems like young master Shen often gets up early."

"I'm too busy to do anything."

His gaze landed on Qiao Xi who was below the stage. Coincidentally, he saw her chatting happily with Shen Ye Ling, who was sitting next to her. Their clothes were more like a pair dress, and his expression immediately changed as he tensely handed the microphone to the host.

Li Ran trembled in fear as he watched from the side. Why was the boss so angry again? What happened?

Shen Ye An quickly stepped off the stage. His clothes fluttered in the wind. Qiao Xi turned his head and saw that he was already standing in front of him. With a smile, she stood up to welcome him.

"Mister Shen."

"What are you talking about?"

Qiao Xi pursed her lips. "Have a casual chat."

The two of them stood and spoke, attracting the attention of many people. Qiao Xi saw that his gaze had landed on her seat and switched places with him.

Shen Ye Ling looked at him with interest. Then, he sat down and said, "Second Brother actually brought a lady with him today. How strange."

"Elder brother, what are you saying? It's normal for you to bring a female companion on an occasion like this."

"Yes, second brother has good taste."

Shen Ye An clenched his fist tightly. The words that came out of his mouth in praise of Qiao Xi made him feel disgusted. He didn't need to comment on whether Qiao Xi was beautiful or not.

As for his current possessive mentality, it also made Shen Yeyan slightly distressed. Before he understood the actual situation, he was already at the ribbon cutting stage.

Qiao Xi saw him looking at her: "I want to go up too?"

"No need. Li Ran will be following me."

Those who could go up to cut the decorations were either the company executives or the influential celebrities that they invited. Thus, Qiao Xi didn't want to go up and just sat there quietly, waiting for it to end.

There was a female celebrity arranged beside the two of them. The more Qiao Xi looked, the more she felt that something was wrong, that the female celebrity was actually going to get close to Shen Ye An. She nervously broke out in a sweat below, and had already lifted her skirt to stand up.

Qiao Xi heaved a sigh of relief and sat down again.

She had just sat down when someone behind her called out to her.

"Hello, this is my name card."

Qiao Xi received it in astonishment. It was written "Director of Film and Television".

"Hello, is something the matter?"

"Maybe you think it's a bit sudden, but these are my heartfelt words. I've seen your temperament and good looks, do you have any interest in entering the entertainment circle?"

Qiao Xi opened her mouth slightly in surprise. "Sorry, I've never thought of being a celebrity. Besides, I'm not from the same class, so I don't know how to perform."

"It doesn't matter, we can train later."

"Sorry, I might not be able to get used to it, but I have a sister who comes from a major, her looks and temperament are pretty good too."

"Your sister?"

"Yes, I have her picture. You can look at it."

Qiao Xi showed him the photo on the phone. The other person took a few glances and said, "I can see him."

"Okay, I will get her to contact you. Thank you for giving me the chance."

"You're too polite."

Even if Qiao Xi didn't like Qiao Yang anymore, he would still think of her when there was a chance. She took a photo of the business card and sent it to him on WeChat.

Just as he finished, the ribbon cutting was done. Shen Yeyan was the first to come down, followed by the female celebrity who was separated by Li Ran. He sat beside her expressionlessly, unbuttoning two buttons on his shirt collar, revealing the sexy collarbone of a man.

"What did you say to that person just now?"

"Ask me if I want to enter the entertainment circle."

Qiao Xi's words had a trace of playful joy to it. He started to chat about the hair scattered by his ears. "I never expected that one day I'd be discovered by a scout."

Shen Ye An scoffed, "Go in and run the dragon trap."

"Mister Shen, are you jealous of my beauty?"

"Hur hur, is there even a need for me to be jealous?"

"Indeed, Mister Shen is not bad looking either. He is extraordinarily handsome."

Being praised by Qiao Xi, he felt elated and his entire body felt comfortable. He subconsciously touched his chin and didn't even notice himself as a slight smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.

"You agreed?"

"It's so good to be a celebrity. You can earn a lot of money."

"I can give you a higher salary."

"Mr. Shen, are you paying me well?"

Shen Ye An lightly snorted and said, "You're not suitable to be a celebrity."

"Why am I not suitable?"

"Do you know what kind of place the entertainment circle is?"

Qiao Xi raised her chin and acted naive: "It's a place with ten thousand people watching."

"Heh, you're still too inexperienced."

Seeing that she was full of expectation for the entertainment circle, Shen Yeyan's chest was full of anger. He wanted to vent but was unable to find the way out. Clenching his fist, he secretly gritted his teeth.

"Qiao Xi, the thing that the entertainment circle does not lack is beauties."

"Is Mr. Shen trying to teach me to turn around as soon as possible?"

"It's your choice."

"Actually, I'm just curious. Such a complicated circle isn't suitable for me. I just want to lead a normal life."

"Yes."

The taut strings in his head suddenly relaxed, and his mood also turned cheerful.

"Even if Miss Qiao does not enter the entertainment circle, she will still be able to earn a high salary and reach the pinnacle of her life by my side."

"Then I'll thank Mister Shen first."

Qiao Xi turned his body slightly to the side and looked at him. A faint fragrance drifted past his nose.

After the ribbon cutting ceremony, the stars and directors went into the mall to join the event while the rest of the executives went to a meeting.

Qiao Xi followed Shen Yeyan upstairs. The meeting room was on the top floor and all the executives attending the meeting were men. She consciously chose not to enter and went to wait in the lounge.

The heels on her feet were high and thin, and they were new shoes. In the empty lounge, she quietly took off her heels and stepped onto the soft carpet. Her toes and heels were red from the grinding, and she was bleeding from the skin.

At this moment, Qiao Yang's phone call came in. She took a deep breath and picked it up.
