After spending the afternoon monitoring Xi's Corporation building, Ji Yining finally spotted her target - Xi Jiannan, the CEO of Xi's Corporation.
Legend has it that Xi Jiannan is heartless and cruel, yet astoundingly handsome and charismatic.
Seeing him with her own eyes, she found that the legend was true.
Even Ji Yining, who has met numerous handsome men, was struck by Xi Jiannan's stunning appearance.
His well-defined eyebrows sat above a pair of narrow, deep-set eyes. His nose stood tall and elegant, while his thin lips curved beautifully. This man, who was as exquisite and perfect as a figure from a myth, possessed chiselled features that highlighted his impressively handsome face.
At this moment, his tall, straight figure was wrapped in a efficiently tailored suit, exuding the unique calmness and decisiveness of someone in a high position of power. His cold yet powerful aura seemed to be innate.
Facing Xi Jiannan required immense courage.
And Ji Yining possessed such courage.
"Mr. Xi." Ji Yining offered her business card with both hands, "I'm Ji Yining, an agent from the New Star Talent Agency. I have something of great importance that I'd like to discuss with you. I hope I can have two minutes of your time."
Xi Jiannan glanced indifferently at Ji Yining. After a beat, his long, deep-set eyes gradually squinted...
Ji Yining felt as though the elegant nobleman before her had instantly transformed into a devil with black wings. She trembled, forcing herself to remain calm as she looked at Xi Jiannan: "Mr. Xi?"
Finally, Xi Jiannan slowly lowered his gaze to look at the business card handed over by Ji Yining. It read - New Star Talent Agency, Ji Yining.
Ji Yining - Xi Jiannan looked at these three characters, then at Ji Yining again, his eyes impassive...
Seven years ago, Ji Yining was already dead.
Yet seven years later, she stood lively and vibrantly before him…
"Interesting."
Thinking this, Xi Jiannan blandly reached out with one hand to take Ji Yining's business card.
A jump of joy in Ji Yining's heart, she hurriedly said: "Mr. Xi, I know your company, Aurora Media under Xi Corporation, is investing in a film called 'Citywide Love Hunt' and interviewing for a supporting female role tomorrow. We have an artist in our company who is very suitable for this role. I hope you could give her a chance for an audition."
Xi Jiannan's icy gaze was locked tightly on Ji Yining's face, his eyes deep and unreadable to anyone.
Ji Yining interpreted Xi Jiannan's silence as hesitation and quickly added, "Mr. Xi, our artist really is perfect for this role. As long as you give her a chance to audition."
"Give me an explanation."
Xi Jiannan’s voice was deep and pleasant, richly magnetic, but cold as if covered in a layer of frost.
"Huh?"
Ji Yining looked puzzled, explanation? What explanation? An explanation of why she came to see him?
With an icy warning spread across his incredibly handsome face, Xi Jiannan said: "Don't play dumb."
"..." After a moment's hesitation, Ji Yining professionally replied, "Mr. Xi, I came only for work."
Xi Jiannan’s eyes narrowed dangerously, his lips curled ambiguously, "Alright then, get in the car."
"Eh?" Ji Yining was completely lost.
"I don't intend to discuss business with you in the parking lot."
Having said that, Xi Jiannan casually took a seat in the driver's position, ready to start the car, totally uninterested in making idle talk or waiting for Ji Yining.
Ji Yining could only scramble to get in the car as quickly as possible.
As the luxurious Porsche raced down the road, Xi Jiannan's eyes slowly moved to the rear-view mirror.
