After a while, the girl who was interviewed before Su Xiao came out of the office. Su Xiao stood up from his seat, picked up the guitar he had placed beside him, and walked into the office.
Shen Tong sneaked in behind him.
"Are you two a duo?" A familiar voice echoed in Shen Tong's ears.
That voice was incredibly familiar. Shen Tong looked up and saw that the person sitting at the interviewers' table in a suit was none other than Liang Xiaoyuan. To be honest, Liang Xiaoyuan looked quite dashing in his formal attire, sitting there with a refined demeanor.
No wonder Shen Tong had refused the offer to be an assistant at Fengxing Entertainment and had given the opportunity to Fang Xiaoxi. She must have wanted to become an artist! Liang Xiaoyuan looked at Shen Tong, who was standing behind Su Xiao, and felt puzzled. How could such a mismatched duo come together though?
"A duo? Us?" Su Xiao turned around, confused.
Thick-skinned, Shen Tong flashed a bright smile at Su Xiao, her teeth perfectly aligned and white, and greeted him, "Hello!"
"I don't know her!" Su Xiao mercilessly denied any association with Shen Tong, refusing to acknowledge even knowing her.
What a cruel guy! Shen Tong gritted her teeth and glared at Su Xiao, then quickly shifted to a sweet, girlish demeanor: "Yes! I don't know him. I'm here for the interview, but your secretary said he was the last one, so I rushed in with him. I apologize."
"Then this has nothing to do with you. Miss, you'll have to wait for another opportunity." Xia Zixuan flipped through Su Xiao's profile, not even glancing at Shen Tong as he dismissed her.
"Okay!" Shen Tong turned around and walked out. She knew that no matter what she said, this man wouldn't let her stay, so it was better to leave with some dignity.
"Manager Xia, you should give her a chance." Liang Xiaoyuan quickly interjected on Shen Tong's behalf, addressing Xia Zixuan, who was the chief examiner for artist interviews and the general manager of Fengxing Entertainment.
Liang Xiaoyuan pleading for someone? Xia Zixuan put down Su Xiao's profile and glanced at Shen Tong's back. This outfit... so she was the girl with the X-shaped legs he had seen earlier.
"Come in after Su Xiao's interview is over," Xia Zixuan said coldly in his deep voice.
Shen Tong was stunned for a second and turned around, asking the man who had spoken coldly, "Are you talking to me?"
She turned around, her bright eyes full of confusion, her well-tailored suit skirt showing off her beautiful figure. What an angelic face and a devilish figure. Xia Zixuan's eyes darkened, but he couldn't look away.
"Are you talking to me?" Shen Tong asked again, cautiously. The man sitting in the center had a nameplate in front of him that read "Xia Zixuan," and his title was General Manager.
Xia Zixuan nodded, "Yes."
He was still pondering why such a good-looking girl had shown up at the gate of Fengxing Entertainment with X-shaped legs early in the morning. All the interviewers present, including Liang Xiaoyuan, couldn't believe that Xia Zixuan would change his mind, especially for a girl with no credentials, just there for an interview.
"Great!" Shen Tong couldn't help but cheer inwardly and hurried out of the office.
She was delighted; today's luck was really good. Fortunately, she ran into Liang Xiaoyuan. If it weren't for his help, things might not have gone so smoothly! Shen Tong sat down, overwhelmed with happiness.
Soon, Su Xiao walked out of the office, still looking as if the whole world owed him money. Shen Tong couldn't tell if he had passed the interview or not.
She took a deep breath and walked into the office.
"Shen Tong, a student returned from studying in the UK?" Xia Zixuan glanced at the resume Shen Tong handed over and asked indifferently, "Why choose to become an artist?"
"Actually, I'm applying for an assistant position, not an artist!" Shen Tong felt a bit scared looking at Xia Zixuan. Maybe it was because he was too cold and unpredictable.
Everyone was taken aback. Such a high level of education applying for an assistant position? If she had come to apply as an artist, they could say it was to fulfill a dream, but applying as an assistant… And why was she mixed in with the artist interviewees?
Xia Zixuan grew more intrigued by the girl standing before him.
"This is the artist interview area, you know that?" Xia Zixuan asked, voicing the question on everyone's minds.
Shen Tong answered without hesitation, "There were too many people in line for the assistant interviews. I saw that there were only a few people interviewing to become artists and that there were seats, so I came over!"
"That simple?" Xia Zixuan found it hard to believe such a straightforward and honest answer.
Shen Tong, you really don't hide anything from anyone! Liang Xiaoyuan thought to himself.
"Just that simple. I can't hide anything from smart, experienced people like you!" Shen Tong confidently replied to Xia Zixuan. She knew that revealing everything might make her intentions more opaque to people like him.
"You're quite something." Xia Zixuan showed no outward reaction, but inwardly, he found the girl very intriguing.
"Thank you for the compliment, General Manager Xia!" Shen Tong smiled, accepting the praise. She knew Xia Zixuan appreciated her because she was different from others, so she had to continue to show how unique she was.
Liang Xiaoyuan had never heard Xia Zixuan praise anyone like this before, nor had he seen anyone accept praise so unabashedly. He couldn't help but admire Shen Tong. Shen Tong, you truly are unlike anyone else.
Xia Zixuan continued, "Can you tell me why you want the assistant role?"
By asking this, Xia Zixuan was giving Shen Tong high regard. Anyone could see that Xia Zixuan had a favorable impression of her.
Seeing the situation, Shen Tong knew that the main decision-makers for this interview were Liang Xiaoyuan and Xia Zixuan. Liang Xiaoyuan would definitely support her, and Xia Zixuan already liked her. Since he appreciated unique girls, she decided to be different all the way.
"General Manager Xia, I believe everyone has their secrets. I have my reasons for choosing the assistant role, but I have the right not to tell you!" Shen Tong took a risky move.
Xia Zixuan sneered, "You have the right not to answer me? Indeed, you do."
The atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing. Everyone awaited Xia Zixuan's reaction, and Shen Tong began to feel anxious.
