Heavy rain poured heavily in Beijing as a number of people crowded under waiting sheds and buildings to seek shelter from the heavy downpour. Dressed in a black tank top with a sweetheart neckline that fell just above her belly button and a pair of beige business coat and high waisted pants that went well with her nude color stilettos, was Zhen Wei. Her wavy hair flowed reaching her waistline as it swayed behind her back as she walks across Stardom Entertainment's lobby. She fished for her ID inside her purse and tapped it on a scanner to let her through the entrance. A few eyes have caught her beautiful countenance.
Her outfit for work today had been picked especially by madam Li. Although Zhen Wei felt reluctant at first, Li Shen's mother managed to let her wear it. It was yesterday when she was summoned by madam Li to drink coffee with her at Tang Yiyi's coffee shop where they first met. Madam Li had her ways to obtain Zhen Wei's contact number.
Well, she dealt quite a commotion at the hospital when she went to look for her son. Li Shen was busy attending to some patients when madam Li suddenly popped out of nowhere and began pestering him for Zhen Wei's phone number. He hesitated in giving his mother Zhen Wei's number, afraid she would disrupt her in her work. In the end, her mother parted with him with Zhen Wei's contact at hand, a victorious smile plastered on her face as she walked out of the hospital as if nothing had happened.
They met the same day she asked for her future daughter-in-law to come and see her after her work. Fortunately, Zhen Wei got off of her work earlier than usual, hence she was able to accompany the madam for shopping.
They went to several boutiques and madam Li chose a few clothes for Zhen Wei to wear for her work. She heard about her getting accepted to the work she applied for that's why she wanted to celebrate it with her and buy her a few gifts to congratulate her. Zhen Wei, on the other hand, found it unnecessary and a bit troublesome. She wasn't the type to extort money or take advantage of someone's wealth. But madam Li tried to appease her every time and to ease her guard and just treat it as a small gift from her. The day ended having Wei carry lots of bags that had fourteen pairs of business attires and other clothes that she can wear to work. Even bringing home five pairs of heels because madam Li insisted on buying them for her to at least pair it with the clothes she bought.
Zhen Wei ended up being exhausted physically and emotionally because of madam Li's extravagant treatment for her. She tried to stop her from buying too much, luckily she managed to make her buy only one-fourth of the clothes she handpicked for her.
Li Shen heard about it and can't help but feel sorry for Zhen Wei. He knew that she wasn't the materialistic type of woman. Li Shen sighed and can't help but correct his mother about what she did. Perhaps, madam Li was carried by her emotions. She was too excited and can't help but indulge Zhen Wei as soon she saw her son's future wife. Too great of a blessing to let go!
Zhen Wei stepped inside Zhai Yao Hua's office and handed him some documents. "Hmm, not bad. You've done everything in my preference." Zhai Yao Hua commented as he flipped through the papers in his hands.
It had been a week since he handed her a task on handling some matters regarding scheduling a few artist's appointments on tv appearances, live radio guesting and studio recordings. He thought she would take up too much time and even might try to quit after taking up the task he gave to her.
Well, it was the fact that he deliberately did it to scare her wits out. But instead, she performed well and did everything accordingly. She didn't even let out a single one. Zhai Yao Hua was quite impressed with Zhen Wei.
He personally knew that some of the staff of the company where he had sent her out to scout were difficult to deal with but she managed to create connections out of her own effort.
"Yes. I have done my part of the deal, shouldn't it be your turn to do yours, Mr. Zhai?" She said in a clear voice, her face calm.
'This woman is cocky as ever since we first met. Not bad, she managed to exceed my expectations of her.' He thought.
The deal happened between both of them when they first met. Zhai Yao Hua and Zhen Wei were sitting opposite each other as Zhai Yao Hua was flipping through her portfolio that Abigail handed him.
"You wish to enter the industry?" He spoke, his voice deep with a tinge of superiority. His brows were scrunched together as he read her documents.
"Yes." Zhen Wei replied firmly.
"No experience at all."
"Yes."
"And you think you can just enter this industry just because you wish to?" His gaze left the documents and darted straight towards her. His gaze piercing right through her bones but she simply disregarded it and replied in a calm manner. "Yes." It's not like she hasn't encountered that kind of piercing eyes before. So why would she feel small?
Despite giving her a harsh question, she managed to answer Zhai Yao Hua's question in a calm demeanor. Her eyes were clear as he stares straight into hers with piercing ones. But he hadn't expected it, her eyes were like clear orbs that looked like it can see through him. Such a beautiful yet mysterious pair of eyes this woman has.
"You're quite bold." He commented.
'I have already decided. I'm firm with my resolve. I will surely treat everything with extra calculation.'
"I would like to see how long will you last here." Zhai Yao Hua leaned back on the sofa and crossed his legs.
"Why don't we make a deal?" Zhai Yao Hua can't help but smirk at Zhen Wei's remark. The type of person he hated the most was those type of people who try to act highly in front of him, sure enough, he thought Zhen Wei was one of them.
"Try me. You can see for yourself what capabilities I have. If I meet your expectations, you owe me something in return at the same time my training period will be done."
Zhai Yao Hua let out a laugh. He was amused and annoyed at the same time. Still, he was curious how this fella would act. He cleared his throat and said, "Okay. You have my word."
Zhai Yao Hua can't help but feel amused at her. She managed to do her part of the deal so there's no way he can't do his part too. Although he still wants to confirm one thing before doing his part of the deal.
He placed down the documents at hand and removed his glasses. His gaze met her clear orbs once again. "Before that, I still need you to do one last thing for me." He said seriously.
