Magnate Tycoon: How Did Simply Enjoying Life Make Me a Male God?-Chapter 610 - 420: The Mysterious President Li

After quickly listing the schedule for the upcoming week, the agent snapped the planner shut, the metal clasps clicking crisply.

She pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses, her gaze sweeping over the slightly fatigued Yang Xiaoxiu, her tone full of concern:

"Xiaoxiu, the schedule for this week is packed too tight. How about canceling two fashion events?

You've been wrapping up at 3 a.m. for seven consecutive days, and today you even got up at five to put on makeup. Your body can't keep going like this."

Yang Xiaoxiu leaned back in the soft leather seat of the nanny van, the morning light spilling through the window onto her pale face, yet it couldn't conceal the burning intensity in her eyes:

"Sis, you know the situation best. The previous hit 'Mortal' was just a flash in the pan. If I don't take advantage of this wave of popularity to maintain my presence, in a few months when new stars emerge, the audience will have forgotten me."

She let out a bitter laugh, her voice carrying a hint of hoarseness, "Sleeping on planes, putting on makeup in the nanny van, these are basic skills for an actor, I should've been used to it."

The agent looked at the stubborn girl before her, a complex emotion rising in her heart.

In the eight years since she entered the industry, she had seen so many artists rise and fall in the tide of popularity, but it was rare to see someone as clear-headed and driven as Yang Xiaoxiu.

Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly remembered an important matter, carefully choosing her words: "By the way, about the 'Immortal's Journey' crew..."

Before she finished speaking, Yang Xiaoxiu's originally relaxed shoulders instantly tensed up.

This epic fantasy drama, three years in the making, had dominated the headlines of major entertainment sections since it started filming. With a top-notch production team and a cast combining popularity and talent, it was undoubtedly the most anticipated film of the year.

If she could secure the role of female lead number two, it would undoubtedly be an excellent stepping stone from a trendy actress to a serious talent.

"Still communicating," Yang Xiaoxiu responded briefly, her slender fingers unconsciously tugging at her clothes.

The agent could see through her avoidance, leaning forward with worry: "Tell me honestly, what conditions are they actually proposing? We can compromise on the salary, or even adjust the schedule, as long as..."

"I said let's talk about it later." Yang Xiaoxiu suddenly raised her voice, and after realizing her loss of composure, quickly calmed down, "Sorry, sis, I'm just too tired."

She closed her eyes and leaned back into the seat, but her fingers rubbed back and forth on her knees, revealing her inner turmoil.

The agent opened her mouth, eventually letting out a sigh.

Seeing Yang Xiaoxiu unwilling to bring up the matter, the agent felt somewhat helpless, about to respond, when suddenly something important seemed to come to mind. Her expression stiffened, and she quickly said:

"There's one more thing I must tell you."

Yang Xiaoxiu, who was about to rest, frowned slightly, her previously relaxed body tensing up again, but she still forced herself to rally her spirits, slowly opening her eyes and saying:

"What else? If it's not important, can we talk after I wake up? I'm a bit sleepy."

But the agent's expression turned even more serious as she said, "I'm afraid I have to tell you about this first anyway."

Yang Xiaoxiu felt puzzled, opening her eyes to look at her agent, full of confusion.

The agent closed the leather planner, gently massaging her brows as she spoke:

"Today, President Li called suddenly to confirm your schedule in Tianhai. Upon learning you weren't local, he simply acknowledged and then hung up."

Yang Xiaoxiu, who had been half leaning on the seat, moved slightly, frowning as she asked, "Are you referring to President Li of Celestial Entertainment? Or Professor Li Yuanshan from the Drama Academy?"

"Neither." The agent brushed back a stray lock of hair, her tone carrying a trace of helplessness, "It's our studio's big boss, Li Jing, President Li."

These words hit like a jolt of adrenaline, and Yang Xiaoxiu's tired eyes suddenly lit up, a hint of blush coloring her pale cheeks.

She sat up straight abruptly, not even noticing the strands of hair falling over her shoulders: "Brother Jing? He called back? Really returned from Hai Province?"

The uncontrolled excitement in her voice betrayed her inner joy.

The agent watched and adjusted her glasses, her gaze behind the lenses full of surprise.

This mysterious studio owner was always enigmatic, having only visited a few times during the initial establishment, and had since delegated most responsibilities fully.

The entire team's operations revolved around Yang Xiaoxiu, and she truly couldn't understand what kind of relationship would cause the usually composed Yang Xiaoxiu to lose her composure like this.

"He should've just returned," the agent said, flipping through her mobile notes, "He specifically asked about your schedule, and hearing you weren't around, ended the call without further questioning.

I initially thought you were not returning until next week, didn't expect you back early. Shall I help arrange a meeting for tomorrow?"

"Now, contact now!"

Yang Xiaoxiu's movement to grab her phone brought with it a rush of air, and she even entered the wrong password once while unlocking it. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"No, I need to confirm first if Brother Jing is available. If he is, I can head over right away." She stared at the phone screen, her slender fingers hovering over the send key, weighing her words carefully.

The agent frowned at the sight, opening up the schedule to remind her: "But this afternoon at three, you have an exclusive interview, and it's an opportunity we've fought for over two months to secure..."

"Cancel it." Yang Xiaoxiu didn't even look up, her tone not harboring the slightest hesitation, "Brother Jing rarely returns; if I miss this chance, who knows when the next will be."

She suddenly turned, her gaze as firm as iron, "All subsequent work should be postponed; seeing him is currently the most important thing."

Watching Yang Xiaoxiu postpone such a highly significant interview just to meet Li Jing, the agent was too shocked to speak.

She was just about to try persuading, but the unyielding look in Yang Xiaoxiu's eyes stopped her in her tracks.
