Chapter 44
A certain Film Emperor and his golden manager.
Upon laying his eyes on the couple standing outside the elevator doors, Fu Wenqian's urge for gossip immediately kicks in.
What a very proactive sight ah!
Witnessing the scene of a young, handsome man holding onto the wrists of a beauty just makes a certain manager's rich imagination run wild.
"That pair of lovers is really shameless ah!"
Fu Wenqin leans closer to his friend as he showers the 'adulterous' couple endless criticism, unknowingly courting death.
As he continues to speak, Fu Wenqian didn't noticed the darkening of Xi Baixue's expression.
"Not even hesitating to show their affection for each other in the company, they're really not afraid of becoming the headlines of those media outlets."
Hearing the unnecessary chatter of his friend as well as being forced to see such eye-stabbing scene, Xi Baixue furrows his brows.
His dark expression turning chilly and black upon hearing those unneeded words.
After all, unlike his blind moronic manager, Xi Baixue recognizes the young woman involved in this 'pa.s.sionate love affair.'
Even if her appearance changed, even if she turned into ashes; Xi Baixue would still recognize the woman he loves for years.
"Xiao Fei?" He calls out instead, ignoring his manager.
Hearing Xi Baixue calling out to his sweetheart causes a certain manager to look closely at the woman's appearance.
〣(๑º口º๑)〣
How terrifying!
That woman standing in front of them is actually Wu Fei.
Oh no! Σ(º ﾛ º๑)
Doesn't this mean that Xi Baixue's wearing a green hat??
Wu Fei, not noticing the complex gazes Fu Wenqian sent her and the dark expression of her childhood friend, smiles brightly upon hearing the voice of Xi Baixue.
"Xiao Xue!" She happily replies as she turns to face her friend.
Her annoyed and irked expression turning happy as soon as she laid her eyes on her friend.
Aiyo! She's so happy to see him again ah~ o(≧∇≦)o
Xi Baixue's expression warms up a little upon seeing such enthusiastic greeting from his beloved. However, upon noticing that the man still didn't let go of Wu Fei's wrist, he frowns in displeasure.
"What are you here for?" He asks her instead, as his eyes still stare at the offending hand.
"Ah?" Wu Fei blinks before she happily lets out a soft laugh.
"I came to sign my contract and meet my manager~" The young woman answers brightly, ignoring that flicker of annoyance and hostility that showed up on her childhood friend's face when he looked behind her.
What made him so upset with w.a.n.g Jues.h.i.+ ah? Did Xiao Xue know him by any chance?
Keeping her thoughts to herself, Wu Fei didn't hesitate to enter the elevator.
w.a.n.g Jues.h.i.+ watches the young woman hurriedly enter the elevator. He smiles as he follows after his young artiste, dark eyes staring thoughtfully at the two men.
His eyes met with a pair of hostile and disapproving eyes.

Meanwhile, within the confines of his meticulously clean office, a certain hard-working CEO with a huge sister complex impa.s.sively accepts a video call.
Three panels appear in response to his actions. One video panel on the screen shows a video of himself while the other two panels start showing two men with an appearance similar to Wu Ling Xun's.
"Old First! Old Second!"
The young man with bleached red hair speaks up cheerfully, breaking the silence that came when Wu Ling Xun accepted the call.
The youth's smile brims with endless cheer and happiness. A startling and sharp contrast to the miserable and wretched appearance the man had these past few days.
The two people mentioned by him shares a look with each other before they tacitly decided to ignore their youngest brother.
"How was the meeting with the director and the rest of the crew?"
Wu Ling Xun directs the question to Wu Anyu as he
"Alright. Currently finalizing the concept." Wu Anyu, as usual, didn't hesitate to shorten his words. Uncaring if his brothers would understand what he meant.
Wu Ye, who was ignored by the two: "…"
What's with this conversation? Second brother, why is your answers so curt? Big Bro, why aren't you paying any attention to me?!
Although he wants to explode and create a scene, Wu Ye pursed his lips in displeasure and remained silent. After all, this discussion concerns their family's little Feifei after all.
That's right.

The three well-known and revered figures of their chosen field of profession are currently holding a meeting on the sly to discuss the current project their little sister is taking part in. A project that not only involves their sister, but also the company.
Although in the eyes of these three people with a sister complex, the profits of the company doesn't matter at all.
What matters is that their darling little sister, the one that they love and adore so much, would not suffer or be at a disadvantage in the program.
Even if she insists on using her own capabilities to pursue her career, they would still help her on the sly.
They have already let her do as she wishes that year when she insisted on going to school, not interfering with her school life and investigating the people around her. And look at what that had resulted from that disastrous compliance.
"…Uhm," Wu Ye suddenly speaks up as he remembers something pertaining to the task his two brothers asked him to do.
Wu Anyu and Wu Ling Xun turns their attention on their third brother. Catching sight of that usually cheerful and easygoing man looking down with furrowed brows and a frown on his face, the usually stoic brothers felt anxious and nervous.
"About that 086," Wu Ye continues upon seeing that the attention of the two are on him.
"I've gone through many channels, also asked some favors with my acquaintances, but I am so sorry! I didn't find anything about that 086. It's like it just popped out of thin air."
He spoke those words with a disappointed tone. So disappointing! He went through so much without even receiving any sort of result ah. He spent precious time and energy on searching for any information about 086, nearly got interrogated by that devil and also nearly sold himself in the process, but in the end, Wu Ye didn't find out where that thing is from or even its purpose.
It was like 086 popped out of thin air.
"It's alright." Wu Anyu speaks up after some time of silence. Even if his brother didn't find anything out, it doesn't mean that they wouldn't discover anything. Besides…
"If that thing wants to do something, it should have done it already." The oldest of the three grimly spoke those words.
The two brothers remained silent. Their heart beat races from the thought of something unknown and possibly dangerous is always near their little sister. Even if that thing didn't do anything these past two months since its arrival at the Wu manor, they still don't trust that it won't make any trouble.
"Most of all, it probably had something to do with Feifei's sudden insistence on becoming an actress." Wu Ye thoughtfully adds.
The three fell quite, each one with thoughts churning within their minds.
Wu Ye, this man who isn't so fond of thinking up plans that involves a lot of heavy manipulation and tricks, finally decides to ask his two brothers a question.
"What's the next move then?" His eyes looked at his eldest brother thoughtfully. Without a doubt, between the three of them, Wu Ling Xun is the most insidious, shameless and traitorous. A cruel, double-faced and sly businessman through and through. Although Wu Anyu, no matter how dignified and cold that man is, wouldn't lose to their eldest brother at all.
Seeing that sly and dangerous glint on the eyes of his two brothers, he ignores that pang of guilt towards the poor unfortunate souls that will be sent to their graves.
His two brothers are too domineering and treacherous!
╮(╯▽╰)╭
No worries though, he still has such a cute little sister~

Said cute little sister, however, is currently in a dilemma.
Just… what is this strange tension in the elevator?
Turning to look at Fu Wenqian for help and support to lighten up this weird atmosphere that befell on them, Wu Fei saw the golden manager cowering at the corner with a face that screams his wish to rush out of this contraption as soon as possible.
Her eyes flashed with disdain at the man's cowardice before she turns her attention back to the two males standing beside her. Her childhood friend to her right while her manager stood to her left.
She turned just in time to catch her childhood friend exchanging fierce and pa.s.sionate glances with her manager.
Hehehe.
Feeling somewhat irked for no reason, Wu Fei decided to introduced these two men with each other.
"Xiao Xue, meet my manager!" She starts, a bright smile on her face.
Hearing those words, Xi Baixue narrows his eyes thoughtfully at the smiling young man in front of him. His mind already cataloguing this man's threat level, both on his chances on wooing the woman between them and the chances of this so-called 'manager's' being a danger to Wu Fei.
"My name is w.a.n.g Jues.h.i.+." w.a.n.g Jues.h.i.+ smilingly introduced himself, a polite and graceful smile on his lips as ignores that contemplating and measuring gaze the Film Emperor sent him.
This man, he's really protective of his little artiste.
"Xi Baixue."
Although he knows that this man already know of him, Xi Baixue still curtly introduced himself. Eyeing the docile looking man, Xi Baixue couldn't help but think.
This man, he's very dangerous. He really doesn't like having this man surnamed w.a.n.g around his Xiao Fei at all.
