Chapter 173 - Don’t Act as if You Aren’t Impressed

Zhou Ah Ming and Feng Xinying stepped in the office. They smiled at Bi Yu but were greeted with very knitted brows. "Please sit down," said Bi Yu rudely pointing towards the chairs without answering to their greetings. 

"Miss Bi Yu, this is Miss Feng Xinying as I had mentioned earlier on the phone, and we have come to you with very hopes since your agency is the top most in the world of entertainment. I am her secretary Zhou Ah Ming."

Bi Yu didn't look at them and instead picked her phone to show that they were not important to her. She started browsing through her emails. The two of them waited patiently for more than ten minutes before Bi Yu spoke to them. "I can offer you the contract but you are a newcomer and you have no other credentials apart from being a model previously. We have a beeline of people waiting to sign a contract with our agency."

Zhou Ah Ming knew fully well where Bi Yu was heading, so he said, "Ma'am I had already mentioned that Lu Dao has signed up Miss Xinying for her debut movie." 

"See, all I can offer you right now is my new recruit as your agent. She is still under training. She will learn the tips and tricks of the world along with you. Since you are new, you both will have a lot in common to share and both of you will benefit greatly," said Bi Yu. 

Zhou Ah Ming was surprised. "I am sorry Miss Bi Yu, you cannot give my client a new agent who doesn't even know what to do! If you cannot give your topmost agent then we expect someone with experience who would handle Miss Xinying with care. She also needs some guidance." He paused and then continued, "I have been in this industry for so long and I know that you can easily offer her a better agent." 

"You have been in this industry? Who are you?" asked Bi Yu with a frown. 

"I was previously employed with Wu Bosun."

"Oh! You are the one who was jailed for irregularities," scoffed Bi Yu. 

Feng Xinying was again very angry. She looked at Bi Yu and said, "He is now my secretary and so I would expect you to talk to him nicely."

Bi Yu looked at Feng Xinying with blazing eyes. She threw her phone on her table in anger and spat, "Listen girl, you don't get to talk to me like that and that too in my office. This is the best of the terms I can offer because you have been picked by Lu Dao, otherwise I wouldn't have even met you!"

Bi Yu knew that being associated with an artist that Lu Dao had himself chosen was something very rare and she wanted to flaunt that. However, she was also giving her a peanut deal thinking that she would take it out of desperation. With a new agent she would have to spend less money and milk more money from Feng Xinying's deal. 

"Sorry, but that is not what I was looking for," replied Feng Xinying. "You have to give me an experienced agent." 

"You arrogant girl! You haven't stepped into the entertainment world and you are showing attitude. Do you know who you are talking to? I am Bi Yu. My agency is the world's best one. I belong to such a rich family that you can't even imagine. I will not talk to the likes of you. If you want to be associated with my agency, this is the best I can offer. Take or leave it!" 

Feng Xinying's patience was last by that time. If she wanted, she could have bought ten such agencies at the drop of a hat. 

"In that case, we would like to take your leave," replied Feng Xinying and picked her purse. She got up from the chair and Zhou Ah Ming followed her shaking his head. Bi Yu really didn't know who Feng Xinying was. 

Then suddenly Feng Xinying turned and said, "I am not arrogant. I think I am better than the most. And don't act as if you aren't impressed. How often do people get debut in Lu Dao's movie?" She opened the door of the office and closed it softly. 

Bi Yu was left gaping at her. 

Zhou Ah Ming smiled at his employer. She was a strong woman that would easily give her piece of mind when necessary. They exited the building. In the driveway they saw that Ru Shishi was standing there looking for a cab to go home. 

"It seems that Wu Bosun left her here to fetch for herself when he saw through her scam after you lured her to jump down to collect seven thousand Yuan," laughed Zhou Ah Ming. "But that was a great trick Miss Xinying. Why did you think that she would get trapped?" 

"All this is very new for Ru Shishi. She will take time before getting out of the greedy habit of hers," replied Feng Xinying looking at Ru Shishi with a half smile as her car drove past her. 

Feng Xinying had dealt with many of her likes in the industry. 

In the car, Zhou Ah Ming called someone. "Sir, if you have time, can we come over to you now?" 

"Of course, you may. I am free right now for another one hour," said the person whom he was talking to.

Feng Xinying looked at him with question her eyes. 

"Madam, we are going to StarManage agency. They are number two in the country right now. The boss of the agency knows me well. They are not as popular Starline, but they are good people. They are certainly courteous apart from being professional." 

Feng Xinying nodded. They reached the agency within half an hour. When they met the boss of the agency, Ju Long, they were really impressed. A young man in his late twenties, he welcomed them and immediately offered his best agent. He knew that opportunity knocked once. 

Feng Xinying said, "Thank you, but I would like to read the contract terms and conditions before signing. Can I send the contract tomorrow?"

"Yes sure," he replied with a smile. "We encourage our stars to read the contract." 

Unlike Bi Yu, he was so amiable.
