Top Star Agent Chapter 36

   "I know you're busy, and I'm not asking you to indulge me. I'll reduce my workload appropriately and spare some more time to accompany you." Zhou Yuehe said calmly.

  Xiang Qingwei's hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly. She looked at Zhou Yuehe and slowly asked," Ah?" A sound.

  Zhou Yuehe calmly picked up the beef slice that had fallen from Xiang Qingwei's chopsticks and put it back into her bowl." You don't have to worry about my work. I'll coordinate with my agent myself."

  Xiang Qingwei glanced at the beef slice in his bowl and coughed lightly." Although you are already a popular singer, you can't be so willful, can you? You should take advantage of this opportunity to increase your exposure…Besides, I'm busy with my work, so I often have to fly around…"

  Zhou Yuehe said,"I will try my best to cooperate with your itinerary."

  Xiang Qingwei stared at Zhou Yuehe. She could not see a trace of joking from his expression. Her heart skipped a beat and she had an ominous feeling.

  "Let's eat first. If there's anything, let's talk after dinner." Zhou Yuehe said and put a chopstick into Xiang Qingwei's bowl.

  Xiang Qingwei's words were stopped by Zhou Yuehe's words.

  She felt a lump in her throat, and the meal was tasteless.

  As they ate, Zhou Yuehe asked," Why aren't you speaking?"

  Xiang Qingwei was stunned for a moment. The chewing action in his mouth stopped." Ah?"

  Zhou Yuehe looked at her." You used to love talking."

  That dinner three years ago.

  Xiang Qingwei sat beside him, smiling and almost non-stop.

  Two years ago, when she was drunk, she was on top of him, and her mouth was full of nonsense.

  But today, she was exceptionally silent.

  Xiang Qingwei paused, looked at Zhou Yuehe and said,"People always change." She smiled again." I think you've changed a lot too."

  Zhou Yuehe looked at her deeply and pursed his thin lips." I didn't."

  Xiang Qingwei drank some water, then looked at him and smiled and said,"How can there be no?" I still remember that three years ago, I felt that you were very young, like a student who hadn't graduated yet. Now, you can be their mentor in Super Idol." She paused for a moment, meaning something." I'm the same. Whether it's me three years ago or me two years ago, it's all in the past."

  Zhou Yuehe stared at her silently without saying a word.

  Xiang Qingwei put down his chopsticks, calmly looked at him and said: "I have no plans to fall in love."

  Zhou Yuehe silently clenched the chopsticks in his hand. His deep eyes were dark." Then you can start planning from now on."

  Xiang Qingwei frowned, his expression serious." I'm an agent, not an artist. I hate it when my private life gets too much attention. I don't want to wake up one day and be bombarded with rumors about myself."

  Zhou Yuehe listened to her silently, then put down his chopsticks and looked at Xiang Qingwei." Do you like me?"

  Xiang Qingwei swallowed silently." Actually, we don't know each other very well. We only had a meal three years ago…"

  Zhou Yuehe interrupted her coldly." I know." He paused and asked,"Are you done eating?"

  Xiang Qingwei grunted and was too embarrassed to pick up the chopsticks again." I've finished eating."

  "Alright." After Zhou Yuehe finished speaking, he started to clean up the lunch boxes on the table.

  Xiang Qingwei tried to help, but Zhou Yuehe said coldly,"No, thank you." He retracted his hands and feet.

  Then, she looked at Zhou Yuehe, who lowered his eyes expressionlessly. Silently, he covered the lunch boxes one by one and put them back into the plastic bags. Then, he stood up with the two plastic bags." Sorry for disturbing you today. I won't do it again in the future."

  Xiang Qingwei was guilty and inexplicably guilty. He stood up and said dryly," I didn't disturb you. Thank you for bringing me food..."

  Zhou Yuehe nodded coldly and walked straight to the door. Xiang Qingwei also quickly followed and opened the door for him.

  "Thank you." Zhou Yuehe did not even look at her and his voice was extremely cold.

  "…You're welcome."

  "There's no need to send him off."

  Xiang Qingwei was just about to send him to the elevator when he stopped."…Oh."

  "Goodbye."

  "…Goodbye."

  Xiang Qingwei stood at the door and watched Zhou Yuehe leave without looking back. He pressed the elevator button silently and walked into the elevator silently. From the beginning to the end, he did not give her a single glance.

  When he entered the elevator, Xiang Qingwei closed the door. Not only did he not breathe a sigh of relief, but he felt a little uncomfortable.

  When he saw the neatly arranged dining table, Xiang Qingwei couldn't help but sigh, a little sad.

  She's not full.

  Therefore, he took out his phone and obediently ordered a takeout for himself. Then, he went back to his desk to read the script.

  --

  Little Zhao didn't expect Zhou Yuehe to return so quickly. Moreover, he had a face full of spring breeze when he left, but when he returned, his face was as cold as ice.

  "You left your wallet on the floor of the hotel. I picked it up and put it in my suitcase." Little Zhao observed Zhou Yuehe's expression and said carefully.

  "I want to sleep for a while. You can go out." Zhou Yuehe's voice did not waver, nor did his face waver.

  "Okay, then you sleep. I'll call you later." Little Zhao said and walked out of the room. She couldn't help but mutter in her heart that this date didn't seem to go well.

  …

  Xiao Zhao's suitcase was opened and the black wallet was thrown on the bedside table.

  Zhou Yuehe lay on the bed, holding the photo he had cut out from the group photo three years ago. He stared at Xiang Qingwei, who was smiling like a flower next to him.

  "Actually, we don't know each other very well. We only had a meal three years ago…"

  Zhou Yuehe's hand that was holding onto the photo drooped feebly as he closed his eyes fiercely.

  It turned out that to her, the first dinner they met three years ago was just a casual meal.

  ……

  Three years ago--

  "Hey! Are you Zhou Yuehe?"

  That voice, full of surprise, had saved him from such an embarrassing and painful situation.

  Her voice filled the entire room, and everyone looked over.

  The dirty hand on his thigh shrank back in fear.

  He looked up at her blankly and saw that she was pretending to be surprised.

  He knows her.

  She accompanied Hua Ying and Fu Yanbai.

  Fu Yanbai was the most important person at the dinner party today. Sister Lian Wen was respectful to him, and she was Fu Yanbai's date tonight.

  He watched her smile and pretend that she was his fan. Then, he switched seats with Sister Wen and sat beside him.

  He noticed Fu Yanbai's unhappy expression and couldn't help but feel worried for her.

  However, she didn't seem worried about him at all. After sitting beside him, she smiled and talked to him.

  He could not remember what she had said that night, nor what he had said. He had been squirming all night, his face rolling with heat. He remembered only that her eyes were bright when she smiled, and the dimples at the corners of her mouth were sweet, and he had not dared to look directly into her clear and bright eyes all night.

  Later, the dinner ended.

  He finally found an opportunity to meet her alone.

  He finally summoned the courage to look her in the eye and thank her."Thank you for tonight."

  "Don't come to this kind of dinner in the future. I don't think you're willing to do it yourself." Xiang Qingwei said, but her face did not have the smile on the table, with a faint alienation and coldness.

  Zhou Yuehe felt embarrassed.

  It was even more embarrassing than being touched by Sister Wen at dinner.

  His face had lost all color, and he was almost drowned in embarrassment and shame. He clenched his hands by his side and lowered his eyes. He could no longer look directly at her, and his thin lips were tightly pursed.

  "I didn't know…"

  The manager only said that introducing him to a few famous producers in the circle would be beneficial to his future development and that he should cherish this opportunity.

  "I've heard your songs before." Xiang Qingwei interrupted him.

  Zhou Yuehe raised his head abruptly and his eyes lit up. He looked at her in disbelief and was even a little nervous.

  "You've heard of it?"

  He thought she had made up everything she said at dinner to help him out.

  Xiang Qingwei nodded casually." I have friends who like you, so I've heard of you before. I heard that you wrote all your songs yourself?"

  Zhou Yuehe nodded.

  "I've heard it before. It's quite nice. The song is well written and the singing is also good." Xiang Qingwei said.

  Zhou Yuehe's chest was boiling. It was the first time he was praised by someone. He was so excited and helpless that he did not know what to do. All he knew was to say thank you.

  Xiang Qingwei still wanted to say something, but suddenly looked past him.

  Zhou Yuehe saw that the cold and distant expression on her face melted instantly, and a bright smile came from the bottom of his heart.

  He couldn't help but look back.

  She saw Fu Yanbai standing not far away. His expression was unclear and he seemed to be waiting for her.

  " Calm down and write songs properly. One day, you will shine brightly and let everyone see you." Xiang Qingwei's tone became lighter. After saying that, she did not hesitate to miss him. She walked towards the man who was waiting for her and threw herself into the man's embrace like a bird in a forest.

  She smiled and said something to Fu Yanbai. Fu Yanbai smiled and wrapped his arms around her waist. He kissed her without caring that there were others around him.

  That was Zhou Yuehe's first taste of jealousy.

  Later, he saw a photo of him after dinner that night in a producer's circle of friends. He saved it, washed it out, cut him and Xiang Qingwei out of the photo and hid it in his wallet.

  What she said became his motivation, and he began to sink into writing songs.

  It only took him half a year, just as Xiang Qingwei said, to start shining.

  All kinds of commercial activities and endorsements floated towards him like snowflakes.

  He managed to get everyone to see him.

  He had thought that this circle was so small that he would see her again soon.

  He didn't even get a chance to ask her name that day.

  It wasn't easy to find out about her from other channels. She knew that her name was Xiang Qingwei. She knew that she wasn't just Fu Yanbai's companion, but Fu Yanbai's girlfriend. She heard that Fu Yanbai liked her very much and brought her everywhere.

  Xiang Qingwei is very low-key, rarely accompany Fu Yanbai in public, Fu Yanbai is the most low-key girlfriend.

  He saw her again after hearing the news that she and Fu Yanbai had broken up.

  His new album received a good response, word of mouth sales are very good.

  His agent called in a bunch of people to help him celebrate, and the venue was set at some high-end bar.

  Such an achievement had been something he had longed for and dreamed of, but at this moment, everything seemed dull.

  Until he came out of the bathroom and saw Xiang Qingwei being pestered in the corridor.

  She was drunk.

  Her whole face was flushed.

  After he helped her chase that person away, she immediately threw herself into his embrace. Her entire body was pressed against his embrace, and her hands hugged his waist. The fragrance on her body and the alcohol mixed together to weave a net that covered him.

  She lifted her head from his embrace. Her bright eyes were misty. She looked at him for a long time and suddenly smiled. She stretched her soft arms up and wrapped them around his neck. She smiled and called out his name.

  Zhou Yuehe."

  His arms tightened around her, and the surging waves in his chest almost drowned him. His heart suddenly stopped beating, and then it began to beat violently!

  He couldn't get her address out of her mouth, so he could only take her to the hotel.

  He didn't know she was like this when she was drunk.

  She hugged his neck and refused to let go. It was as if she was glued to his body. Later, even her legs were wrapped around him. He had always disliked intimate contact with others, but when she wrapped her arms around him like an octopus, his heart was beating wildly. He could not suppress the waves of joy that surged in his heart.

  When he heard her sweet voice calling his name, her pale face pressed against his neck and rubbed against his neck from time to time. His moist and warm breath hit the skin on his neck, and his heart completely caved in, soft and shapeless.

  When she pestered him in the hotel room and refused to let him go, and even took the initiative to kiss him, his soul was trembling. The intense sweetness and happiness almost made him dizzy. The gap in his heart that had been in his heart for a long time seemed to have finally been filled. He realized how much he yearned for her, like a traveler who had walked in the desert for a long time and finally found a mouthful of water. That instinctive and intense desire made him unable to refuse her.

  Everything that happened after that seemed like a dream.

  At first she led him, then he began to take charge, his desire for her almost driving him crazy, he never knew how crazy his desire was, especially after he tasted the sweet, he was like a greedy beast, tireless, demanding, eating her up.

  He kissed her until he was exhausted and hugged her until he fell asleep.

  I didn't expect to wake up and go to bed empty.

  Zhou Yuehe raised his arm and covered his eyes.

  Two years later, she described the night that changed his fate as a meal together.

  From beginning to end, he was the only one who was addicted to it.

  --

  Time flew by in a hurry. Zhou Yuehe had not contacted her since he left that day. Xiang Qingwei did not take this matter too seriously. After all, her most important thing now was how to get an audition for Ling Jiayi at dinner.

  On the day of dinner.

  Although Fang Xingzhi said that it was not a formal occasion, Xiang Qingwei still dressed up carefully. She wore a black velvet strappy dress and her long hair was pulled up, revealing her slender white neck and exquisite collarbone. The waist design perfectly complemented her slender waist, which was low-key yet elegant.

  The moment Fang Xingzhi saw her appear in his vision, he could not shift his gaze away. A hint of surprise flashed through his deep eyes, and then a trace of sourness welled up in his heart. She had never dressed up like this when they were dating.

  "How is it?" Xiang Qingwei stood in front of Fang Xingzhi and asked for his opinion. However, there was no trace of nervousness on her face. She just hoped that everything tonight would be flawless.

  Xiang Qingwei's solemnity made Fang Xingzhi a little sour, but he still said honestly,"It's beautiful."

  Xiang Qingwei smiled slightly. Because she was in a good mood, she rarely showed a playful side. She pinched her skirt and bent her knees slightly." Thank you."

  Fang Xingzhi was slightly stunned. He chuckled and helped her open the door of the passenger seat." Get in."

  "Thank you." Xiang Qingwei thanked him again.

  After she got into the car, Fang Xingzhi suddenly reached out to hold her hand. He bent down and lowered his head. He planted a gentle kiss on the back of her hand and chuckled." My pleasure."

  Xiang Qingwei was stunned, then his scalp went numb and his face became hot.

  Fang Xingzhi straightened his body without changing his expression. He closed the car door and walked around to the driver's seat to open the door and sit in.

  "You don't have to be nervous when you meet Director Zhang later. He's very easygoing in private. Relax and be at home." Fang Xingzhi said casually," After the dinner, I'll leave Director Zhang for you. You'll have time to talk to him alone."

  Xiang Qingwei was stunned for a moment, and then he was pleasantly surprised." Really?!"

  She had thought that Fang Xingzhi would only be able to bring her to dinner, but she did not expect him to give her a chance to talk to Director Zhang alone! This was too unexpected! It was simply a huge surprise!

  Fang Xingzhi turned his head to look at her. Seeing that her eyes were sparkling and she was looking at him with surprise, he could not help but smile." So happy?"

  Xiang Qingwei said,"Of course! I've been worried about how I can talk to Director Zhang later."

  He smiled and said,"I should have told you sooner." Sorry."

  "It's okay, it's okay. I know you're busy with work. I'm already very grateful for bringing me here." Xiang Qingwei quickly said.

  "It's just a small effort," Fang Xingzhi said."You don't have to be so polite."

  Xiang Qingwei said,"It's a small task for you, but it's a great help for me." If you need my help in the future, I'll definitely do it."

  Fang Xingzhi glanced at her and couldn't help but smile." Remember what you said. I will ask you for my debt."

  Xiang Qingwei nodded repeatedly, indicating that he would never forget.

  As he spoke, the phone in his handbag rang.

  Xiang Qingwei took out his mobile phone, which showed that it was from Secretary Wen.

  "Sorry, I have to take this call." Xiang Qingwei said, pressing the answer: "Secretary Wen?"

  Secretary Wen asked on the other end of the phone,"Xiao Xiang, where are you now?"

  "What's wrong, Secretary Wen? Is something wrong?" Xiang Qingwei asked.

  "Didn't you want to meet Director Zhang Zhizhang before? Director Zhang Zhizhang will be coming tonight. I'll send you the address. Pack up and come over now." Secretary Wen finished speaking, and then heard Xiang Qingwei on the other end of the phone silent for two seconds, calmly reported an address.

  Secretary Wen was stunned."How do you know?"

  Xiang Qingwei's voice became cold." Secretary Wen, please tell Mr. Fu that I have already found someone else who is willing to help me, so don't bother him. I'm in the car now. I'll hang up first." He hung up the phone.

  Secretary Wen was stunned for a while before turning around and pushing open the door to return to the private room. He walked to Fu Yanbai's side and bent down to report the contents of the phone call in a low voice.

  Fu Yanbai frowned immediately." Who did she ask for help from?"

  " I'm not sure, but Xiao Xiang has always been very resourceful..." Secretary Wen said.

  Secretary Wen couldn't help but curse.

  The boss was so desperate to save face that he had to drag it out until now to call Xiang Qingwei. This was great. He had taken the trouble to arrange it. He had already found another way and did not appreciate it.

  Fu Yanbai felt a lump in his heart.

  "Where is she now?"

  Secretary Wen said: "Said it was in the car, should be on the way."

  Fu Yanbai snorted coldly, his expression visibly turning ugly.

  Secretary Wen also had nothing to say to his boss.

  When Xiao Xiang took the initiative to ask for help, you threw a tantrum and didn't give him a good look. You didn't really do anything. In the end, you worked for nothing and complained.

  …

  "Whose phone?"

  Fang Xingzhi asked.

  When she answered the phone just now, Xiang Qingwei's tone was very cold. This coldness was not directed at the person on the other end of the phone, but at the "Mr. Fu" she mentioned.

  If he guessed correctly, this Mr. Fu should be the one he met in the restaurant.

  "Boss's secretary." Xiang Qingwei said.

  Seeing that she did not intend to continue, Fang Xingzhi did not press further.

  When they arrived at the hotel, she told the guests the room number and took them to the second floor.

  He stopped in front of Box 208, knocked on the door, and pushed open the door to invite them in.

  The atmosphere in the private room was hot. They were already pushing cups and exchanging drinks.

  The arrival of Fang Xingzhi and Xiang Qingwei made the box quiet.

  Director Zhang Zhizhang stood up and shouted at Fang Xingzhi," Little Uncle!" After that, the entire room fell silent.

  Xiang Qingwei, who was standing beside Fang Xingzhi, was also stunned.

  Little, little uncle?

  Director Zhang Zhizhang had already gotten up from his seat and walked over with a smile on his face." What happened today?" I've always wanted to ask you out for dinner, but I couldn't. Today, you actually took the initiative to come to my door?" As he spoke, he put his arm around Fang Xingzhi's shoulder affectionately. His smiling eyes swept across Xiang Qingwei and he sized her up with a smile." Who is this?"

  Although Xiang Qingwei hadn't recovered from the shock of Director Zhang addressing Fang Xingzhi as Uncle, he immediately cheered up and smiled politely at Director Zhang." Hello, Director Zhang. I'm Xiang Qingwei. Nice to meet you."

  Director Zhang Zhizhang smiled and shook her hand. He then looked at Fang Xingzhi." Girlfriend?"

  Fang Xingzhi raised his hand and patted Xiang Qingwei on the top of her head under her slightly uneasy gaze. He smiled and said," She's my little sister. She's also in your industry. She's an artist's agent and has always admired you, so I brought her here today to recognize her face."

  Xiang Qingwei felt a warmth in her heart and blinked her sparkling eyes.

  "Yo. The little girl was that powerful? It's not easy being an artist's manager." Director Zhang Zhizhang smiled and said," And you're so beautiful. It's a pity to be an agent. Why don't you just debut as an actor? How about I arrange a role for you in the next film?"

  Xiang Qingwei revealed a generous and playful smile." If there is such an opportunity, I'd better leave it to my artists."

  Director Zhang Zhizhang laughed." The young lady is very professional!" After saying that, he invited them to sit down." Alright, come and sit down. I'll introduce you to my old friends in this circle."

  Someone gave up the position next to Director Zhang Zhizhang to Fang Xingzhi and Xiang Qingwei.

  Director Zhang Zhizhang held up his glass and introduced himself to everyone." Let me introduce him to everyone first. This is a young uncle of mine. His surname is Fang Xingzhi. He is younger than me and older than me. He is a talented young man who has opened his own company. It is developing very well now. He specializes in investment. If you have any projects, you can bring him along." As he spoke, he introduced everyone else in the room to Fang Xingzhi.

  " That's President Zhao from Huanyu Records, that's Mr. Zhu from Hummingbird Media... This is the leader of our circle, ah, President Mr. Fu from Huaying Group..."

  Although the other CEOs did not know Fang Xingzhi, they naturally would not underestimate the person Director Zhang Zhizhang was supporting. They all smiled and greeted him.

  She arrived at Fu Yanbai's place.

  The atmosphere was extremely cold.

  Fang Xingzhi smiled indifferently." Mr. Fu, what a coincidence. We meet again."

  Fu Yanbai sneered. He stared at Xiang Qingwei with a fake smile." Yes, it's indeed a coincidence."

  The person she was looking for was actually this Fang?

  Director Zhang Zhizhang was greatly surprised: "What? You know each other?"

  Fang Xingzhi had never been involved in the film and television industry before. Moreover, he was a pure and indifferent person. He had never paid attention to things that had nothing to do with him. How did he know Fu Yanbai?

  Fang Xingzhi smiled and looked at Xiang Qingwei gently. He said affectionately," Weiwei works at Mr. Fu's company. We had dinner together and happened to have met Mr. Fu once."

  Slightly?!

  He heard Fang Xingzhi address Xiang Qingwei.

  The veins on Fu Yanbai's forehead twitched, and his face visibly darkened.
