Ace of the Dragon Division - Chapter 381
Chapter 381: You Can Take Over This for Young Master
Sister Wang gritted her teeth and said, “Under this kind of situation, they obviously would be on our side because you are their celebrity, what are you still afraid about? Chuxue’s usually not a difficult person to talk to, and besides, she likes you a lot too, right? Just call and ask her.”
Liu Ziqi thought for a bit before she took out her phone and called the company.
The big boss of the company scolded her, “You still need me to come out and help you with that? She’s not an outsider, that’s your senior sister in the company! What are you afraid of?”
Liu Ziqi: “I’m just afraid that Senior Sister will become angry with me… Isn’t Instructor Xu’s relationship with her not simple? I’m scared that she wouldn’t be happy and give me a difficult time… If that Instructor Xu’s really her boyfriend, then aren’t I basically saying ‘can you introduce your boyfriend to me?'”
The boss directly raised her voice, “If you have a girlfriend like Lin Chuxue, would you still look for other women?”
“Oh, that’s true…” Liu Ziqi said. Then, she mumbled, “Wait, are you saying I’m ugly?”
“Yeah, and stop bothering me! I’ve been wiping after you guys all day, why do I feel that other companies’ bosses are so free all the time but I live my life on the edge every day?”
Liu Ziqi giggled and said, “Alright, then I will ask her myself.”
Lin Chuxue was getting a spa treatment, which was part of her morning routine before she started a new day of work.
When the phone rang, her assistant handed it to her. Lin Chuxue lazily answered, “Hello? Ziqi?”
“Senior Sister… You heard about what happened last night already, right?” Liu Ziqi cautiously asked, “They came over to apologize, but they also want me to act as a liaison and introduce Instructor Xu to them. So I just wanted to ask… if you think we can give them Instructor Xu’s number…”
Lin Chuxue smiled and answered, “Why do you sound troubled by it? For something like this, even if you say no, are they still going to give you a hard time?”
Liu Ziqi: “But they were willing to give me the female role…”
Lin Chuxue decisively replied, “Ziqi, why did they give you that role? It’s because they knew they should compromise. And if that’s the case, you don’t have to feel guilty at all. The rule of the industry is that for those that lost, if they want to continue dwelling in this industry, they will need to pay a price. Although it wouldn’t be fair for them if you weren’t willing to be the liaison, they can’t force you. If they were going to force you, then they wouldn’t have come over to gift you the female lead role, got it?”
Liu Ziqi nodded. “I kind of get it now.”
Lin Chuxue said to her, “Remember, there won’t be someone helping you every day, and if you are given an opportunity, take it and use it to get as far as you can. This time, Instructor Xu helped you, but are you going to let yourself be used as a way for those people to get to know Instructor Xu? You have to weigh the pros and cons here. If you ask him to do you another favor, for something that’s this trivia, then he won’t be helping you again. Besides, wouldn’t all kinds of people come and ask you to introduce them to Instructor Xu in the future if you agree this time? What will you do then? This time, the more dominant you act, the more it will show that your background is not simple, got it?”
Liu Ziqi: “Got it, Senior Sister. Thank you!”
Lin Chuxue: “No worries. You are a celebrity of this company, you just have to work on earning more and more money for the company. I will be slowly exiting this circle, so you will have to take my spot in the future.”
Liu Ziqi was shocked. “Exiting?”
Lin Chuxue nodded. “Yeah, in fact, besides making music, I don’t like the entertainment industry. We will see in the future. But for my husband in the future, I don’t want to get too involved in this industry; I want our life to be simpler.”
Liu Ziqi: “Is it Instructor Xu?”
Lin Chuxue chuckled. “Cut the gossip, I will announce it later. Okay, I’m going to hang up now.”
Then, Lin Chuxue hung up, and besides her, Auntie Lan, who was also getting a spa treatment done, curiously looked at her.
Lin Chuxue smiled. “It’s a newbie of our company, I’m just teaching her some lessons. Last night, she ran into some of the darker events in the entertainment circle, and she’s still quite naive. It was a good thing she ran into Xu Cheng.”
Auntie Lan: “I shouldn’t let this kind of little thing bother the Young Master, in fact, I can just take care of it. Young Madam, in the future, if you run into any trouble in this circle, just tell me. I’ve been helping the Ye Family manage a few businesses, and although those businesses were all under Madam’s name, I’ve been the one taking care of them. Now that the Ye Family collapsed, those businesses naturally fell under Young Master’s name. With my position in the business world, I do have quite a lot of influence in the entertainment world too.”
Lin Chuxue patted the back of her hand and said, “Don’t worry, since Xu Cheng didn’t trouble you, he hopes you can just enjoy the rest of your life. You don’t have to worry about those kinds of things. In the future when I become less busy, I will take you out on vacations and enjoy life more.”
Auntie Lan sighed, a bit upset, “But Young Madam, Young Master still doesn’t plan on accepting me, right? Otherwise, why is he being so polite with me? In fact, you can also rest assured and not worry about the Young Master. Believe me, his power right now is far more than what you can see on the surface.”
She saw how close Xu Cheng was with those from the Dragon Division. Back then, because of Xu Cheng’s words, even those Sky King characters went around her and spared her life. It was enough to show that Xu Cheng held a high status in the Dragon Division. So, Auntie Lan was sure that Xu Cheng’s identity was far from as simple as it looked on the surface.
For such a powerful person, if even trivial matters like this needed to personally trouble him, then it would be a serious dereliction of duty in her opinion for herself as a subordinate.
Lin Chuxue was most scared that it would put more trouble on Xu Cheng’s plate if she couldn’t make Auntie Lan feel at home, so she immediately smiled at Auntie Lan and said, “Alright alright, in the future, I will definitely come to you for things like this, okay? Also, in the future, just call me Chuxue or Xue, don’t call me Young Madam anymore. It sounds quite distant and odd. Xu Cheng already said, the Ye Family has fallen so we are no longer in that kind of relationship.”
Auntie Lan nodded. “I guess it will take me some time to adjust.”
Lin Chuxue shook her head helplessly.
Auntie Lan thought of something and then asked again, “Oh right, I just heard that you said you are planning to exit this circle? Are you planning to give up this profession?”
Lin Chuxue nodded. “Pretty much. I know Xu Cheng wouldn’t force me to do anything, but I don’t want my profession to make things awkward for him and his status when I publicly disclose our relationship. Although my reputation had always been good, I still want to avoid gossip as much as I can. Besides, the water is very muddy in the entertainment industry, I don’t want Xu Cheng to worry for me. So, I’ve already made up my mind. I will find something else to do and leave everything to the newcomers of the company.”
After pausing briefly, she said with a longing look, “I want to be the woman supporting Xu Cheng from the back.”
Auntie Lan was delighted. “That would be perfect! Young Madam, you want to find something to do? Madam had quite a few big companies under her name, maybe, you can take a look and give it a try?”
“This… isn’t appropriate right? I’m afraid that Xu Cheng would be angry, it seems like he doesn’t want to get too involved with the Ye Family’s stuff.”
Auntie Lan sighed, a little depressed, “Madam’s assets are naturally Young Master’s, and if it wasn’t because of the sensitive professional identity that Young Master has, which would bring trouble if too many assets suddenly popped up under his name, then I would’ve transferred the ownership to him a long time ago. But now, Young Madam, you can take over these businesses in his place, and if you are afraid that he wouldn’t want to accept it, then you can always tell him later.”
Lin Chuxue very much wanted to give Xu Cheng a call, but she also felt it might make Auntie Lan feel like an outsider if she were to call Xu Cheng in front of her and ask. She didn’t want her to feel upset, so she was quite helpless herself. Lin Chuxue was a smart woman; she could always take into account all the minor details in people’s feelings and also knew how to take care of some of their subtle psychological changes.
Seeing Auntie Lan’s anticipatory gaze at her, Lin Chuxue could only nod and say, “Alright, but Auntie Lan, wouldn’t you be scared that I would run after those businesses are transferred under my name?”
This was also her way of probing and signaling to Auntie Lan to reject this.
After all, a clever person like Auntie Lan would definitely have this kind of worry and perhaps temporarily put off those thoughts. That way, Lin Chuxue wouldn’t feel too pressured on this matter, and Auntie Lan also wouldn’t feel too upset.
