Sweet Beloved Reborn

Chapter 81: Confrontation and Competition



The meeting room was filled with a very strange atmosphere.

The whole meeting room seemed to be paused by someone, so not only the picture is still, but also the sound is silenced.

But soon Lan Xi and the agent beside her reacted and realized what the little newcomer in front of them had just done.

“Miss Song.” Lan Xi’s agent was a man in his early thirties, with a slightly fat figure, surnamed Zhang. People in the entertainment circle were used to calling him Brother Zhang after he made Lan Xi out of fame.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Zhang Ming, with one hand pressed on Lan Xi’s shoulder, looked at Song Qinghuan with a cold look. “As a predecessor getting in the circle for a long time, I advise you, a newcomer, not to be too arrogant.”

“Are you trying to tell me to respect the seniority in this circle?” Song Qinghuan put down the water cup and drew out a piece of paper towel to wipe the water drops on her fingers. She did not care about the threat of Zhang Ming and Lan Xi, and said slowly, “Or, to experience the bully from your so-called predecessors, just like what any other newcomer would do?”

“Bully?” Lan Xi pointed to the water drops on her face. “You stepped on my foot and poured water on my face. Who is playing the bully now?”

Lan Xi was not in a hurry to wipe the water drops on her face. She was a good-looking girl and showing a pity-provoking appearance then, with her tearful eyes and a messy face.

Song Qinghuan showed no fear. After throwing the paper towel into the trash can, she patted her palms, grabbed the paper towel carton on the table and lifted her chin. “Let’s restore the scene.”

“This is the place where I just walked.”

Song Qinghuan took out a piece of paper towel from the carton, put it in the place where she stepped on Lan Xi’s foot previously, and said, “Visually, your height is about 158 centimeters, and the heel of your shoe is 10 centimeters. Inferring from your leg shape, the length of your leg must be less than 80 centimeters.” Then she crouched down half-way, and stretched out her long straight and slender leg to make a demonstration for the distance. “And my legs are 110 centimeters long.”

Lan Xi’s face became gloomy, because the height was her serious drawback, which had caused significant restrictions to her acting career. Thus, she can’t take a role in an urban fashion drama, but only the roles in ancient costume dramas, because the costumes of such dramas were long skirts, so that the high-heeled shoes she wore would not be seen by fans in front of the screen.

What concerned her most was that her public information indicated falsely that her height was 162 centimeters.

Song Qinghuan smiled and asked modestly, “Then I wonder how your leg of not more than 80 centimeters long, in the normal sitting position, reached to a place more than 100 centimeters away from you to have your feet stepped by me? You must be the talent in making a false charge, are you?”

Not far away, Xiang Feifei mocked and said unreservedly, “She is the talent in making all the people like her, just like a baby praying for the love from her Mom. But, will all the people in the world be happy to be your Big Moms and love you?”

“You shut up!” Lan Xi glared ruthlessly at Feifei. As the height was her disadvantage, Lan Xi always took Feifei, who became popular with her sexy figure, as her competitor when they were in the same company.

Song Qinghuan was somewhat similar to Xiang Feifei in height, and both of them had a pair of long legs. The former was young and beautiful, full of vitality, with no makeup, while the latter was charming in every move, with her fire-like red lips and delicate makeup.

In view of temperament and age, Song Qinghuan had the greatest advantage among the three.

The farce had ended, at least paused temporarily. After all, they were in IM’s company, instead of Kaiyue or Huanyu, and they all came here for an interview. If the situation got worse, they all would only leave a bad impression to IM officials, which would definitely form an adverse effect on the acquisition of the endorsement contract.

However, the people in the meeting room didn’t know that after they entered there, all their behaviors were observed thoroughly by the persons in the conference room on the 33rd floor of IM building through the cameras hidden in decorations in the meeting room.

At the moment, several executives, internationally renowned directors and the chief designer of this product were sitting in the conference room.

“This is why I don’t agree to use domestic actresses as spokespersons. Their temperament simply does not meet the IM standards.” One of the tall white male executives said in French.

Several other people also agreed.

“I don’t think so.” Joey smiled and retorted, and she pressed the remote control in her hand, then the picture on the big screen was fixed on Song Qinghuan. “She is very suitable for this product.”

“Rebellious, arrogant and noble.”

The person who supplemented was the chief designer of this product. The man looked at Song Qinghuan with a bit of fanaticism and said, “It’s her. On her, I felt the smell of Flower Ripple.”

That was the name of the perfume she designed for next spring.

The people who expressed their opposition just now looked a little weird, but Joey shrugged her shoulders with a sly smile on face and said, “Chris, let’s go to see the ‘flower’.”

“Okay.” Chris got up at once, and she and Joey expressed their decision with actions.

Then the rest of the people all looked at that great director, who was well known for being very picky in the circle. However, he smiled at them, stood up and went out as well.

Just when the hour hand of the clock on the wall of the meeting room pointed to ten o’clock, the receptionist they saw before appeared in the meeting room on time, together with two more colleagues beside her, and they led the people inside the meeting room out respectively.

Song Qinghuan, different from the other two who were accompanied by agents, was just came herself. The person who led way for her was that receptionist she met initially.

Song Qinghuan was led into an indoor studio, where there were already many staff members, then into a dressing room, where the dresser and the stylist immediately began to dress up her.

Joey and Chris arrived at the studio after Song Qinghuan entered the dressing room. The so-called dress-up procedure was also a part of the interview.

Joey was holding an office tablet in her hand, seeing Song Qinghuan’s limited information online together with Chris.

IM had always selected the top popular stars. But for this time, Joey decided to try to be different and use a new face, and her idea got the support from Chris, the chief designer.

The inclusion of Song Qinghuan in the interview list was because of Joey, who once saw the beauty of Song Qinghuan in “Mantangchun” when she pulled the car door open and looked back.

After learning that Song Qinghuan was a newcomer who had just entered the entertainment industry, Joey read Song Qinghuan’s information and added her name to the interview list. At the moment, Joey and Chris were watching Song Qinghuan’s MV “Love Letter” and the performance video of Xinghan Music Academy’s Centennial Celebration, and Chris had already become a fan of Song Qinghuan who was performing in that event.

As the noisy studio suddenly quieted down, Joey and Chris raised their eyes and looked along the line of sight of all present, and were instantly shocked by what they saw.
