The capital city was always extremely hot in the month of June. Ning Xi came out of the airport and searched among the crowd, spotting a young man in a white shirt wearing ck-rimmed sunsses holding a signboard in his hand. Her name was written on the board, so she walked towards the man.
Wang He was very displeased in his heart. No one would be happy to pick up a new person for thepany on a such a hot day. However, without any connections within thepany, he had finally gained a firm foothold as an employee. So even though his heart was somewhat unhappy, he didnt let it show on his face.
The flight was nearly two hours, and he was relieved when he heard from the announcements that the ne he was waiting for had finally arrived.
When he was thinking to himself that the person wasnting, he saw an extremely beautifuldye out; she had fair skin, soft, gorgeous lips and wavy ck hair. She was simply stunning.
When such a stunning beauty appeared so close that Wang He could vaguely smell her scent, his cheeks couldnt help but go red.
Hello, I am Ning Xi. Ning Xi approached the young man, smiling at him.
Wang He greeted her respectfully, putting down the signboard. So you are Miss Ning? My name is Wang He, thepany arranged for me to pick you up. You can call me Xiao Wang." When he finished, he rubbed his hands before he held out one to Ning Xi.
Its nice to meet you, Brother Wang. Ning Xi shook his hands, I will have to bother you today.
Its no bother, no bother, Wang He denied with a smile on his face. You just returned home. You were also signed by a newpany. If you have any problems, you can ask me.
He didnt know much about where Ning Xi came from, but since she was personally signed by Liu Kun and Zhang Qingyun when she was abroad, and thepany arranged for her to be treated quite well, then she must have been an extraordinary talent. Thats why, even though he waited so long, he didnt darein.
They both conversed as they walked out of the airport. Ning Xi felt as if the hot sun was roasting her body and was very ufortable; fortunately, Wang Hes car wasnt too far away and they didnt walk for long.
When the AC was switched on, Ning Xi exhaled in relief. She took out her phone to take a look. It was alreadyte noon.
Wang He apanied Ning Xi to a restaurant for dinner andter to a good apartment where thepany had arranged for her to live.
The ce had one room and one bathroom. The location was good, there was plenty of greenery about. Wang He helped Ning Xi carry her luggage, unlocked the door, and handed the key over.
Miss Ning, this is a temporary arrangement for your stay that thepany has prepared for you. If you are not satisfied, please wait for thepany to find a better ce and shiftter. Wang He put the suitcase in the corner. He was a little curious. Despite staying abroad for so many years, this Miss Ning did not have much luggage.
The furniture in the house was all there. Even the beds were covered with a new, clean quilt. Sensing the respect that thepany was giving her, Ning Xi smiled and thanked Wang He.
Wang He made a little polite talk. He informed her about the traffic around there and the major supermarkets. He gave her thepany staff manual and the map of the capital and left.
Ning Xi politely tried to detain him and finally sent him out.
She brought in a couple of things and arranged her belongings in the house when the phone rang. The caller was Zhang Qingyun.
Brother Zhang. Ning Xi walked to the window with opened curtains to see the vast area of green. It was a very nice, pleasant view.
Listening to the other speak, Ning Xi smiled. Yes, I will arrive on time tomorrow.
Hanging up, she went to take a bath, dried her hair, put onfortable pajamas andy down on the bed with herptop. She sent an email to her friends abroad and put away theptop. She stared absently into space.
Inside the house, it was as cool as spring.
In the evening, it was not all that hot. So, Ning Xi took her wallet and went out.
Because it was nearly dinner time, there were not a lot of people in the supermarket. Ning Xi slowly pushed her shopping cart, reaching for a box of yogurt. At the same time, another hand also reached for the same box.
Seeing the beautiful hand on the box, Sun Xiumei could not help but sigh with emotion. The wrist wore a unique silver bracelet which was also very pretty.
Sorry, She heard the other say and take another box.
Hearing the melodious voice, her heart trembled a bit. She couldnt help but nce at the other woman several times. Her features seemed very familiar, so she asked uncertainly, You areNing Xi?
Ning Xi, who was putting the box into the shopping cart, was slightly puzzled and looked back at the young woman. When she was abroad, she didnt have much contact with her old ssmates. For the other to recognise her after five or six years was simply miraculous.
She didnt speak, just looking at her in a puzzled manner.
Ning Xi, is it you? Sun Xiumei was pleasantly surprised. She took off her hat, showing her face. Im Sun Xiumei!
This was quite sudden. Sun Xiumei was a nice girl. While Ning Xi was not very close to her, their rtionship was not bad. When she had returned to China four years ago, they had met on the streets coincidentally. It was no wonder that she could recognise her now. Thinking about it, she exposed a smile. Long time no see.
Yes, long time no see. Sun Xiumei examined her from head to toe. She said emotionally, After four years, youve be thinner and more beautiful.
She remembered seeing Ning Xist time, she was already much thinner than when she was in high school. But at that time, her mental state didnt seem good. People who saw her would worry.
When she learntter about what happened to Ning Xi, she too was worried. Now seeing her well and good standing before her, she seemed to be living a good life. She felt relieved, and the vague guilt feeling inside her disappeared by half.
Growing up over time, people be more mature. When she saw Ning Xi, she remembered what happened six-seven years ago. Although she wasnt involved, she still felt ashamed. She knew that she was only a few paces away from those prankster ssmates of hers.
You how have you been all these years? Sun Xiumei came behind her and whispered.
Pretty good, Ning Xi turned around and looked at her. How about you?
Im also fine, Sun Xiumei nodded. She noticed the men and women in the supermarket secretly staring at Ning Xi. Thetter didnt seem to notice their gazes. Youreing back this timeto visit your rtives?
I returned home to settle down here, Ning Xi shook her head and pushed the shopping cart to the checkout queue. I still prefer food from home.
Yes, our food is delicious. Sun Xiumei didnt know what else the two of them could talk about and ndly replied with that sentence.
Finally, it was Ning Xis turn and the cashier billed all the items from her cart. 310 yuan.
Ning Xi took out 400 yuan and gave it to the cashier. The cashier asked, Do you have change?
Ning Xi shook her head. Sun Xiumei was about to say that she could lend it to her when a young man quickly handed Ning Xi the change, I have it, here you go.
Thank you. Ning Xi smiled at the young man and handed him an apple.
No, its alright.The young man looked at the apple Ning Xi gave him. He went red in the face andughingly epted her goodwill, holding the apple cautiously.
Seeing this scene, Sun Xiumei could not help but smile.
Once they stepped out of the supermarket, Sun Xiumei saw that the day was quite hot. The heat was fiery and even Ning Xis cheeks were red. She handed her a business card. You havent been in the country for a few years, you may not be familiar with some ces. If there is anything, give me a call.
Thank you. Ning Xi took the business card and put it in her wallet. She would dly ept her goodwill, although it was unlikely that she would have much contact with Sun Xiumei in the future.
Seeing her being so polite, Sun Xiumei opened her mouth, not knowing what to say. Then goodbye. If there is a chance, then lets catch up.
Goodbye. Ning Xi nodded. Carrying two fully stuffed bags, she headed in the direction of her apartment when she was stopped by Sun Xiumei.
Ning Xi, Chen Yijun and Wei Siqi are holding their wedding ceremony this weekend, Sun Xiumei did not know whether what she was saying was right or wrong, Are you going to attend it?
Are the two of them still together?
Sun Xiumei saw that Ning Xi had a smile on her face, but this smile looked a little strange.
Oh, this is really touching. I have to believe in love again. Ning Xi raised her eyebrows, sweeping her hair back from her shoulder, Please give them my regards. I have something to do this weekend. I cannot go.
Sun Xiumei nodded quickly. In fact, she now regretted telling Ning Xi about this. Fortunately, Ning Xis reaction was not that big, otherwise she would have no face to talk to her in the future.
When she returned home, Ning Xi made herself a bowl of egg noodles which didnt taste very good. Browsing online for a while, she went to bed.
Tomorrow, she had to go to thepany to see her agent and some members of the senior management. She didnt want to look gaunt and sleep-deprived in front of them.
Jiuji Entertainment Company was a trailzer in Chinas entertainment industry, flourishing everywhere. It had managed to squeeze into the ranks of first-rankpanies and could be considered a strong force in the industry.
Jiuji Entertainment excelled in training actors. It had trained a variety of teen idols, entertainment princes, even emperors. But no one is perfect, and neither was thepany. Itcked a presentable and strong actress.
They didnt know if it was thepanys bad luck, or the agents of thepany could only scout good male talents. The actresses in thepany were either not popr or werent popr for very long as if it was a curse.
It was only because of this that actresses of little fame were afraid to sign with thispany. As an actor, who didnt want to be famous? Who wanted to join apany where no actress was famous?
To be a top entertainmentpany, it had to have sessful actors and actresses. With only actors and no actresses, thepany would inevitably decline.
For the chief of thepany, this issue was a major headache. So when he heard that Zhang Qingyun signed an actress while travelling abroad, although she had a small role in a foreign TV drama, he was willing to meet her personally.
While trying to cure a dead horse, what if it actually worked?
