Wan Tong waited for Lin Ruoruo, who came out while pulling the necklace around her neck, then Wan Tong went forward to help her take it off.
“Why take it off?” Wan Tong asked.
Lin Ruoruo threw the taken-off necklace into Wan Tong’s hands, pouting, “I just saw a fifty-year-old woman wearing the same as mine, I don’t want it anymore!”
Wan Tong : “…”
“I’m giving it to you!” Lin Ruoruo still looked unhappy.
Wan Tong’s eyes lit up. This necklace is probably worth fifty to sixty thousand.
Profit, profit.
Just as Director Chen walked out of the private room, Wan Tong quickly put away the necklace and nodded towards him.
When Geng Yue and Jiang Yu walked out, they happened to see Wan Tong greeting Director Chen and then leaving with Lin Ruoruo.
“So, she came to see Director Chen, is she planning to debut?” Jiang Yu whispered to Geng Yue.
Geng Yue did not answer. At this moment, Director Chen also saw the two of them and walked over.
Although the boyband Stone had just experienced a scandal, their popularity was still high, and Director Chen had collaborated with them before.
Geng Yue and Jiang Yu greeted him and chatted for a while, eventually leading the conversation to Wan Tong.
“Oh, those two girls just now, one is a manager, and the other is an artist. Surprised, right? That Xiao Jin, surprisingly, is a manager, what a pity.”
“She’s a friend from my school and very capable,” Geng Yue naturally replied.
Director Chen was somewhat surprised, “I see. Actually, her artist is quite suitable, but the online reviews are not good. They say she comes from a wealthy family. I’m afraid she might spoil the atmosphere on set and not act well.”
Jiang Yu interjected, “So Director Chen also pays attention to online gossip. I thought the main consideration was their acting skills.”
Director Chen was a bit embarrassed, “Of course, we need auditions. We talked about it during the dinner just now.”
He could tell that these two seemed to be intentionally helping Jin Wantong.
Well, doing a favor in passing wouldn’t hurt.
After bidding farewell to Director Chen, Jiang Yu nudged Geng Yue with his elbow. “Hey, do you really like her so much?”
Geng Yue turned and walked towards the private room.
Jiang Yu chuckled and quickly followed. Leader was just too reserved.
After returning home, Wan Tong received a call asking Lin Ruoruo to audition.
She was a bit puzzled. Didn’t Director Chen just reject her? Why did he change his mind so quickly?
Nevertheless, regardless of the reason, Lin Ruoruo could start working.
Although Wan Tong had resigned from her position as an assistant, Hu Yanting still occasionally needed her help.
She attended a large-scale pop music awards ceremony with Hu Yanting.
The venue was filled with beautiful female artists, but even among them, Wan Tong did not appear inferior at all. Hu Yanting probably thought he had gained some face and was in a good mood, even wanting to give her a raise.
In the middle of the event, Hu Yanting disappeared for a while. Wan Tong didn’t feel comfortable going after him, so she could only worry silently in her heart.
However, when Hu Yanting came back, he looked gloomy, and it seemed like he had been slapped on the face…
Seeing his bad mood, Wan Tong got up and left on her own.
“Tongtong?” Suddenly, Zhong Yuheng called her, sounding surprised. “Did you come with Hu Yanting? Who is he to you?”
“I work at Star Entertainment, and President Hu is my boss,” Wan Tong replied.
This time, Zhong Yuheng was stunned. After a while, she asked, “He didn’t ask you to do anything, did he?”
“He asked me to do a lot of things. Which one do you mean?”
“No…” Zhong Yuheng’s expression suddenly turned complicated as she looked at Wan Tong.
Wan Tong pretended not to see it and, at that moment, Hu Yanting arrived beside her, looking puzzled. “Do you two know each other?”
Zhong Yuheng didn’t want to get involved with Hu Yanting. She really wanted to leave but didn’t want to show it too obviously, so she remained silent.
As a mere assistant, knowing the CEO of Star Entertainment was indeed strange. If Brother Qiang and the others found out… the consequences would be unimaginable.
“Yeah,” Wan Tong simply nodded without offering more explanation.
Because she saw Geng Yue and the others approaching.
Their manager, Brother Qiang, gritted his teets when he saw Hu Yanting, but still approached and said, “President Hu, it’s an honor to meet you. If it weren’t for the occasion, I’d really like to have a good chat with you.”
Hu Yanting smiled without sincerity and didn’t want to engage in small talk. Instead, he looked at Geng Yue.
It was his first time meeting Geng Yue. A young man who hadn’t even grown a beard, how capable could he be?
If it weren’t for him having a lot on his plate recently, he would made Geng Yue leave the entertainment industry long ago. Geng Yue would be criticized by everyone to the point where he couldn’t lift his head.
Because there was heating in the venue, Wan Tong took off her coat. She was now wearing a pure white dress, making her look even more beautiful. Her snow-white, delicate skin seemed to glow with a faint radiance. Regardless of whether people knew her or not, their eyes couldn’t help but be drawn to her.
Noticing Geng Yue’s gaze on the girl beside him, Hu Yanting’s expression slightly stiffened.
He hadn’t forgotten the task the system gave him, one of which was to kill Geng Yue’s white moonlight.
However, he had only obtained information from Zhong Yuheng before, learning that Geng Yue had a girl he liked but didn’t know who she was.
Geng Yue’s gaze at Wan Tong made Hu Yanting uneasy.
He no longer maintained his gentlemanly demeanor and directly grabbed Wantong’s wrist, pulling her away.
Geng Yue took a step forward but was held back by Jiang Yu. “Leader, there are many cameras here. Endure it.”
Geng Yue’s cheek muscles twitched slightly, withdrawing his gaze, but his hands clenched tightly at his sides.
Behind him, his four teammates exchanged glances and shook their heads.
Although they often teased their leader about being interested in someone from the enemy camp, deep down, they secretly hoped their leader could win the person over…
Of course, now wasn’t the right time.
Wan Tong shook off Hu Yanting’s hand, sounding somewhat annoyed, “President Hu, what’s wrong with you?”
Hu Yanting also felt he had been too impulsive and apologized to her, but his gaze towards her became more complex.
Wan Tong didn’t say much and went to the restroom by herself.
When she came out, she didn’t see Hu Yanting, but heard his voice in the corner.
“…Just do it and leave immediately; the money will be given to you.”
Wan Tong wanted to hear more, but Hu Yanting cautiously stopped talking, then came out and frowned at Wan Tong, “What are you doing?”
Wan Tong blinked, “I just came out and heard President Hu’s voice.”
“What did you hear?”
Wan Tong shook her head and asked, “President Hu, it seems the event is about to start. Should we go back to the venue?”
Hu Yanting couldn’t discern anything from her face, pocketed his phone, and said, “You go back first.”
“Yes, President Hu.” Wan Tong left, holding up her skirt.
Hu Yanting watched her graceful figure and suddenly found her very pleasing to the eye. For a moment, all suspicions disappeared.
As Wan Tong walked along the path, texting with her head down, suddenly a hand pulled her into a dark corner. As she was about to scream, the hand covered her mouth.
“Don’t scream,” Geng Yue’s low voice calmed Wan Tong.
After a while, Geng Yue released her, but in the next second, he changed his position, pressing her against the corner, his tall figure blocking her view and completely shielding her fragile body.
He wore all black, and even if someone passed by, they wouldn’t pay attention to this dark corner.
“What are you doing?” Wan Tong dared not speak loudly.
Geng Yue seemed to only hear her faint breath, feeling an itchy heart. His hand lightly rested on her waist, the other holding her wrist, gently rubbing the area touched by Hu Yanting earlier.
“Do you like Hu Yanting?” he asked in a hoarse voice.
Wan Tong could sense his tense body.
“Don’t talk nonsense; he’s my boss.”
“But you let him touch you.”
“I didn’t!” Wan Tong helplessly said, “Geng Yue, stop fooling around.”
“Why can’t I be your boyfriend?” Geng Yue asked seriously.
Wan Tong didn’t know how to answer.
“Answer me.” Geng Yue tightened his grip on her wrist, bringing his body closer.
In a hurry, Wan Tong said, “I don’t like you.”
Geng Yue remained silent for a long time. He thought he was better than all her exes, but she just didn’t like him…
However, sometimes he can clearly feel her intentions.
Is it his illusion?
In the dim light, Geng Yue’s eyes were obscure and unclear.
Taking advantage of his distraction, Wan Tong dragged her evening gown and quickly escaped.
At this awards ceremony, the boyband Stone also won an award, and it was Geng Yue who delivered the thank-you speech. However, his gaze occasionally swept over Wan Tong, making her a little afraid to look at the stage.
Beside him, Hu Yanting, seeing Geng Yue successfully receive the award, seemed somewhat incredulous. After glancing at his phone, his anger seemed to intensify.
After the ceremony, Hu Yanting asked Wan Tong to leave first.
It seemed like he went to find Zhong Yuheng.
This time, Hu Yanting wanted to spike Geng Yue and his group’s drinks to make them embarrass themselves on stage. However, Wan Tong informed their manager using a temporary number.
Wan Tong originally thought this would make it to the media, but everything remained calm.
After the ceremony, Wan Tong began to attend to Lin Ruoruo’s matters.
Lin Ruoruo was indeed wealthy and spent money generously on everyone.
The bodyguards and assistants she hired for herself were all high in looks and grace. After joining the crew, they became the center of attention.
Gradually, Wan Tong also noticed a phenomenon.
Every time Lin Ruoruo spent money on her, there would be job offers coming for Lin Ruoruo…
Wan Tong initially thought that what Shishi said about being rich meant she had to earn a lot of money, and then her misfortune that harmed others would decrease.
But now it seemed that she had to accept the money thrown at her by others. Not only did they not have misfortune because of her, but they might even have good luck!
Wan Tong recalled that although her foster parents were wealthy, they adopted her to accompany their sick daughter and were strict with her. Her clothes were hand-me-downs.
Later, she was labeled as a ‘jinx,’ and she became less proactive in making friends. Even when others tried to be kind to her, she firmly rejected them.
All nine of her ex-boyfriends wanted to buy her bags and jewelry, but she never accepted.
The more Wan Tong thought about it, the more it made sense.
On New Year’s Eve, Lin Ruoruo gave Wan Tong a large red envelope.
Wan Tong accepted it, and shortly after, Lin Ruoruo told Wan Tong that she participated in a New Year’s party and unexpectedly won a BMW in the lottery.
Finally, she added, “Little agent, give your boss back that old car of yours. I’ll let you use this one.”
Wan Tong : !!!
She had a premonition that Lin Ruoruo would continue to be lucky.
She looked at the red envelope sent by Hu Yanting, said thank you, and accepted it.
She wanted to see if Hu Yanting would have bad luck tonight.
With a peculiar feeling, she accepted the friend request from the boss.
The boss didn’t say anything, just sent a red envelope.
One, two, three…
When she counted nine red envelopes, she hurriedly stopped him!
Geng Yue coldly sent two words : [Accept it.]
Wan Tong : …
She opened the red envelopes one by one.
It was obvious that he sent them casually, with red envelopes of various sizes.
Wan Tong also sent one back : [Happy New Year.]
Geng Yue accepted it, looked at the quiet interface, tightened his lips, and replied with the same phrase.
After a while, she asked : [Are you in your hometown? When are you starting work?]
She seemed a bit enthusiastic today, was it because of the red envelopes?
He had seen online that some people enjoyed the thrill of receiving red envelopes.
Geng Yue looked out of the car window into the dark and empty surroundings. He had dinner in his hometown, drove back to the city, but the car broke down on the way.
He had called for a tow truck now, but at this time, no one was working, and he didn’t know how long he had to wait.
Geng Yue : [Yeah, at home.]
On the other side, Wan Tong looked at Geng Yue’s reply, about to ask if he had seen the fireworks, but Shishi spoke up, [The boss’s car broke down, on the road at the outskirts…]
[Ah, you know about this too?] Wan Tong casually responded.
[The boss’s mood is extremely unsettled.]
Wan Tong thought for a moment, deleted the typed words, and sent an emoji, along with a message asking if there were any more red envelopes.
Geng Yue saw the emoji, and suddenly, the gloomy mood seemed to brighten up.
Geng Yue sent 5201 yuan.
Wan Tong’s hand shook, but she accepted it.
Geng Yue sent 13142 yuan.
Wan Tong continued shaking.
Just as Geng Yue was about to send more, a car suddenly stopped nearby.
He rolled down the window, and a man inside the car asked him cheerfully if his car was broken and if he needed help.
In just five minutes, the man fixed his car.
Geng Yue checked the time on his phone, started the car, and a difficult-to-disperse smile lingered on his lips.
Wan Tong looked at the balance in her account and sweetly drifted off to sleep.
Suddenly, she heard the dazzling sound of fireworks, and she quickly got up from the bed. It should be early morning, and fireworks were starting outside the window.
This is an urban village, not as strictly managed as in the city, so there are fireworks and firecrackers everywhere.
However, watching the flourishing fireworks alone feels a bit lonely.
Wan Tong stood by the window for a while and heard someone knocking on the door.
“Who is it?” she asked aloud.
“It’s me.” It was Geng Yue’s voice.
It seems he wasn’t delayed too long on the way.
So, accepting the money is indeed somewhat useful!
Does she no longer need to distance herself from him?
Well, let’s open the door.
Although Geng Yue has been on the road for several hours, he doesn’t feel dusty or tired at all. His dark eyes sparkle with a brilliant light. As soon as he sees her, he can’t help but embrace her.
“…”
Wan Tong is a bit overwhelmed by his enthusiasm.
Rou², no need to worry. Your stardom is not a faraway dream (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*.✧
I was gonna say, Tong² didn’t bring bad luck to them .. is it because of the necklace?
