CHAPTER 108: CHAPTER 108 WHO GAVE YOU THE CONFIDENCE, TO ACTUALLY...

Ji Wei stared at the lipstick mark, her smile curving into a playful arc. "You’re heading out soon, so let me wipe off the lipstick mark for you." She said as she pulled a wet tissue from her bag.

The woman’s eyes were clear and dark, as bright as the stars. She tilted her head and carefully wiped away the lip print she had personally left moments ago, her expression focused. Gu Moqian watched her silently, his heart softening infinitely.

"There, all done."

Just as Ji Wei tucked the tissue away with a smile, the man suddenly bent down and pulled her into a tight embrace...

About half an hour later, the Maybach came to a steady stop at the entrance of Xingyao Entertainment Building.

Stepping out of the car, Ji Wei immediately saw Xia Duoduo, who had arrived earlier.

"Duoduo, over here!" Ji Wei called out.

Xia Duoduo walked toward them, and Ji Wei grabbed her hand. Seeing her with light makeup and a complexion better than yesterday—her eyes no longer noticeably swollen—Ji Wei finally felt relieved.

Xia Duoduo glanced at Gu Moqian standing behind Ji Wei and greeted politely, "Hello, Mr. Gu."

"Hello." Gu Moqian responded with a courteous smile.

Since it was the weekend, the building was nearly empty. After explaining their purpose at the reception desk, they headed straight to the top-floor agent department via elevator.

Ye Cheng’s assistant was already waiting by the door and swiftly led them inside.

"Duoduo, don’t be nervous. Just perform at your usual acting level, and I’m sure Ye Cheng won’t make things difficult for you."

At the office door, Ji Wei gently reminded her friend once more, then watched her enter while offering a look of encouragement.

"Mr. Gu, Miss Ji, please follow me to the lounge. Miss Xia’s interview will take a while to finish."

Ye Cheng’s assistant spoke to them politely.

After walking a few steps, Gu Moqian’s phone suddenly rang.

He pulled out his phone, glanced at the caller ID, and his expression darkened instantly.

"I’ll take the call. You go ahead," Gu Moqian said as he strode toward the company’s entrance, bringing the phone to his ear. "What do you want from me?"

"Miss Ji, would you like coffee or tea?" The assistant asked when they arrived at the lounge.

"Just a glass of water, please. Thank you."

Ji Wei had only sat down for a few minutes when a woman appeared in the lounge.

The woman was wearing a sequined dress, gold heels, and had yellow curly hair. Her entire look screamed attention-grabbing.

Even though Ji Wei wasn’t familiar with the entertainment industry, she could tell this was a celebrity just by the outfit.

After all, this was the largest entertainment company in Rongcheng, and running into a celebrity was entirely normal.

The woman had been merely passing through, but upon noticing Ji Wei seated on the sofa, she suddenly stopped in her tracks. Her heavily made-up eyes scanned Ji Wei from head to toe, filled with guarded suspicion.

Before Ji Wei could say anything, the woman blurted out a question, "Who are you? Are you here for Ye Cheng too?"

As she spoke, the woman moved closer, her demeanor arrogant. "Let me tell you, Ye Cheng is mine. You little insignificant starlet shouldn’t dream of climbing up the ranks to reach the hottest agent in the entertainment industry."

Ji Wei scoffed internally—so this woman was interested in Ye Cheng and had mistaken her as a rival.

She hadn’t said a word yet and was already being scolded. Suddenly, Ji Wei felt an urge to play along and tease this woman.

"That’s right, I’m here to see Ye Cheng," Ji Wei stood up and met the woman’s gaze without flinching.

"You?" The woman sneered, eyeing Ji Wei’s dress with disdain. "Do you even know who I am? I’m Jia Entertainment’s top talent, Jin Xuan’er! Which second-rate company are you from?"

Before Ji Wei could respond, Jin Xuan’er continued sarcastically, "No need to say it. It’s obvious you’re from some obscure, no-name company. I bet you can count the number of artists there on one hand. I can’t imagine what gave you the confidence to come to Xingyao asking for Ye Cheng. Now get out!"

Her face flushed with anger as Jin Xuan’er pointed toward the exit and reprimanded her.
