Chapter 792: 791. Clench your fist!

Apart from a few key figures who regularly attended meetings, Jing Yu had indeed not seen many of the staff below.

As for the Planning Department, she was only familiar with two directors.

However, she didn’t know everyone, but everyone knew her.

"Yes, my name is Bai Chingching."

"Manager Bai."

Jing Bei nodded faintly, puzzled, and glanced at Tang Shu beside her with a suggestive look.

What’s going on? She had been away for just a few minutes, what on earth happened?

Tang Shu returned an exasperated look and changed the subject, "Are you done with your tasks?"

"Reporting to Xiao Shushu, I’m all done with my tasks, you can’t snitch on me~~"

"Of course not, but I guess I won’t be able to enjoy your tea."

Tang Shu chuckled lightly, shook her glass lightly, and nodded at everyone, "Ladies and gentlemen, if you’ll excuse me, Miss Lin, we’ll catch up another time."

"Let’s go to the lounge."

The last sentence was addressed to Jing Bei, who was clutching her arm.

The latter chuckled, "Alright! But Xiao Shushu, can you even drink alcohol? Strange, why did cousin insist that I brew tea for you?"

"..."

Tang Shu’s body stiffened instantly, and a peculiar expression appeared on her face.

As the two figures gradually walked away, Bai Chingching, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, inadvertently met Jing Bei’s backward glance.

She: "..."

Up ahead, Tang Shu asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Nothing, let’s head back."

Jing Bei withdrew her gaze, contemplative.

***

The Cloudscape Group’s annual gala was truly grandiose.

The hotel’s entire banquet hall floor was opened up and connected, with people either in suits and leather shoes or in gorgeous dresses, mingling with their wine glasses. Beyond the employees of the group itself, the guests who had been invited were all tycoons of the business world, each one not to be underestimated.

Luo Lin, leading Jiang Yan and several others, was like a fish in water, encountering many capital-controlling investors, even managing to meet a few directors after chatting briefly with Lin Chuan.

"Then we’ll have to trouble Director Ying in the future."

"Sure thing, I’ll have my assistant send the script to Miss Luo. If there are no hiccups, the crew will be casting next month, and I’m very optimistic about Starshine’s artists."

In a corner of the banquet hall, two people chatted happily, and Jiang Yan and others who had secured verbal agreements suddenly felt that their trip was worthwhile.

"OMG~~~ Is it less than half an hour, and we’ve already received several audition invitations?"

Incredibly unbelievable!

Taking an opportunity like this in ordinary times, it would’ve been enough just to meet one of these directors!

Luo Lin, who had just finished talking with the other party, took a sip of her drink, "Stay calm, there will be more occasions like this in the future, experiences for you all to have."

"Sister Luo, you are too amazing!"

No wonder she was the second-in-command at Starshine Media, her professional capability was top-notch!

"It’s not me who’s amazing, it’s your boss that’s incredible."

If it wasn’t for Tang Shu’s influence, she wouldn’t have even been able to get an invitation, let alone meet these directors.

It’s worthwhile to note the stars who could show up here today mostly had a certain status in the industry; this was a symbol of networking. The directors gave her face largely because of today’s event!

"But getting the audition invitations is just the beginning. Whether or not you can secure the roles will be up to you."

Luo Lin looked seriously at the few artists beside her, her hinting was unmistakable.

Getting to speak with these directors was only the first step, and Starshine Media wasn’t the only one talking to them tonight; how things would pan out afterwards was still uncertain.

"In this industry, it’s not just about capital and connections, but talent is even more crucial."

Even if they make connections, it all comes to nothing if the actors don’t put in the effort themselves.

Nobody’s a fool, are they?

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan and the others felt a shiver in their hearts. They looked around the banquet hall and spotted numerous stars and artists speaking with several directors, which immediately made them nervous.

Shit, there are so many competitors?!

"Sister Luo, we understand. If we get the script, we’ll certainly study the role carefully!"

For themselves, for Starshine, go for it!

"Hmm, good to know you understand."

Luo Lin showed a look that suggested her pupils were praiseworthy and a hint of a smile appeared in her eyes. She knew her judgment was not wrong—these were all promising talents.

"Hey, hey? Isn’t that our boss? Oh my~~~ The purple dress suits her so wellll!"

The next second, Jiang Yan, who had just been praised by Luo Lin, suddenly started howling, losing all her composure from moments before.

Luo Lin was about to scold them to be mindful of the occasion when another young artist also started screaming.

"Ah, she looks so pretty. Xiao Yanzi, you got it wrong. What do you mean the purple dress suits her? It’s our boss who makes the purple dress look amazing!"

"Exactly, exactly, our boss is a natural beauty. What doesn’t she look good in?!"

Luo Lin: "..."

Are you guys okay in the head?

As the second in command, she had finally found a sense of presence as an agent, so why did she have to hear the name Tang Shu again?!

That little ancestor was born to be her nemesis!

***

At the entrance of the resting room, Tang Shu’s hand was held in Jing Yu’s.

"Have you been waiting long?"

"Not too long, I wasn’t bored chatting with Xiao Bei."

Tang Shu, who had drunk a glass of red wine, had flushed cheeks now. With light makeup on, her eyes squinted slightly—she seemed a bit dazed compared to usual.

Jing Yu, standing opposite her, smelled a faint whiff of alcohol and looked around before accurately spotting an empty wine glass.

As expected...

He glanced severely at Jing Bei, who stood next to him, leaving her confused.

What’s going on? Why was her cousin glaring at her? She took good care of her future cousin-in-law, didn’t she?

It was just inexplicable!

Jing Bei pouted and glared back, with a huff, "Now that you’re back, does that mean my job here is done?"

Jing Yu exhaled through his nose, "Hmm."

He would settle the score with her later.

"Oh yeah! Then I’m off to have fun. There are so many people here tonight!"

Although hanging out with Xiao Shushu was nice, she didn’t want to be the third wheel. Plus, there were quite a few handsome guys around tonight—she might run into a few that caught her eye.

Jing Bei clenched her fist!

Watching her leave, Tang Shu asked doubtfully, "Why do I feel like she’s unusually happy today?"

"Forget about her. She’s an adult and can take care of herself."

"I can take care of myself too."

Tang Shu emphasized once more, clearly dissatisfied with his earlier arrangement to have someone look after her.

Jing Yu looked down to see her wrinkled little nose and the seriousness in her eyes and couldn’t help but chuckle softly.

Can take care of herself?

Like this?

In less than half an hour since he’d left, she’d got herself half-drunk. Was she sure she could take care of herself?

Jing Yu sighed. It seemed that his earlier instructions were in vain.
