Entertainment: If you asked him to be a star, he'd just want to quit.

Hu Jiao waited in the car and did not go upstairs with them.

She racked her brains but still couldn't figure out what their relationship was.

Not only Li Mingxuan felt strange, but Hu Jiao did too. Lin Yue seemed to be exceptionally nice to Li Mingxuan today, and just now she even told him not to go upstairs. She felt abandoned.

Just as she was feeling lost and helpless, lost in her own thoughts, the two of them came out of the door.

She subconsciously rubbed her eyes, looking at them in disbelief. So fast? She checked the time on her phone; it hadn't even been half an hour.

Li Mingxuan won't do either.

But Yuejie looks quite happy. Could it be that Li Mingxuan has other tricks up his sleeve?

The two got into the car, and Hu Jiao's eyes followed Li Mingxuan the whole time, making him feel cold and uncomfortable.

"Hey, Xiao Hu, what kind of look is that?" Li Mingxuan couldn't stand her gaze anymore and glared at her as he asked.

“Teacher Li, you…” Hu Jiao looked at him, wanting to ask him something, but couldn’t say anything for a long time, which made Li Mingxuan roll his eyes.

These two sisters are acting really strange today!

"Sis, where are we going now?" Hu Jiao turned to look at Lin Yue.

"Jindi Shopping Mall, I guess," Lin Yue said casually, glancing at her phone.

"Oh," Hu Jiao responded, then started the car and drove away.

A bird chirping sound rang out. Li Mingxuan picked up his phone, saw it was an unfamiliar number, and hung up immediately.

His phone has been ringing off the hook these past few days; it rings every few minutes, and it's always an unknown number.

He knew without even answering that it was some entertainment company calling to ask about signing a contract. At first, he could answer two of them, but later he simply hung up on them all.

Lin Yue saw this and seemed to recall how she had been treated the same way, which suddenly made her feel a little better.

This bastard isn't all that bastard, he's actually quite easy to take care of.

"Was it a call from an entertainment company?" Lin Yue asked casually.

"Most likely," Li Mingxuan replied casually.

"You really won't answer?"

"Why bother answering? If I answer, they'll just reject me anyway, so I might as well not answer. It's just too annoying." Li Mingxuan shook his head, looking somewhat troubled.

He lay on his back, his nose filled with the delicate fragrance emanating from Lin Yue, which soothed the vexation in his heart.

"Why don't you get another phone card? You'll definitely need it in the future. Otherwise, it's really disruptive to your life to keep using two phones, one for work and one for personal use."

Li Mingxuan agreed with Lin Yue's suggestion and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, let's go to the mobile phone store later."

"Well, if you trust me, you can give me your ID card. I'll go handle the studio's business this afternoon and get it done for you while I'm at it." Lin Yue sat upright, looking out the car window, but she was speaking to Li Mingxuan.

"What's the big deal? You're my boss, how could I not trust you?" Li Mingxuan said with a smile, then took out his ID card and tossed it to her.

Seeing the ID card in her hand again, with that familiar photo, it was as if the events of that time were flashing before her eyes once more.

"Don't use my ID to book a hotel room. I made an exception for you last time. I've never stayed in a hotel before," Li Mingxuan said suddenly when he saw her staring blankly at her ID card.

What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener. As if hearing terrible news, Hu Jiao slammed on the brakes, slamming the two people in the back seat against the front seats.

"Ouch, Xiao Hu, what are you doing? You almost hit me!" Li Mingxuan rubbed his forehead, feeling a bit dizzy, and yelled at Hu Jiao.

Lin Yue was also covering her forehead with one hand, her face full of pain. The impact was quite severe. Her hair was disheveled, and her long hair covered her cheeks, making it difficult to see her face clearly.

"Ah, red, red light." Hu Jiao came to her senses, her words stammering slightly; she had really been frightened.

Good heavens! Did she hear that right?

Sister Yue and Teacher Li actually... actually booked a hotel room together!

Good heavens, will she be silenced?

But Sister Yue knew Teacher Li so long ago? Why didn't she sign him to the company before?

……

Longteng Literature's office building.

Xiao Ke brought the latest data report on Jade Dynasty to the editor-in-chief's office.

She wanted to show Editor-in-Chief Huo that *Zhu Xian* was truly a blockbuster novel, currently ranking at the top in terms of rewards, collections, clicks, and various charts. She was sure that this would change his mind.

She just didn't expect that Editor-in-Chief Huo still wouldn't agree, and even her request to put "Zhu Xian" on the trending list was rejected.

Xiao Ke felt extremely wronged by this blatant targeting. She couldn't understand why Editor-in-Chief Huo was treating her this way.

From the moment she joined the company, he kept making trouble for her, shifting from popular topics to now niche topics. The fantasy genre, which rarely produces more than two best-selling books a year, managed to get her to sign the best-selling novel "Zhu Xian," but it still couldn't change the pressure that Editor-in-Chief Huo was putting on her.

She felt she couldn't hold on any longer!

If it weren't for her passion for the job and her dire financial situation, she really would have liked to just leave.

But she dare not.

She was afraid that once she left, she would never find a job she liked like this again.

But now...

She felt somewhat sorry for the author of "Zhu Xian," Xuan Gongzi. If it were someone else, they would have given it a prominent recommendation, a major feature, or even a special feature, let alone a hot recommendation.

Thinking of this, she sent a message to Young Master Xuan in frustration.

At this moment, Li Mingxuan was being pressured by Lin Yue, constantly changing clothes in the men's clothing store.

Each time he changed into a different outfit, Lin Yue would either nod or shake her head, then pick out another outfit for him to change into.

The sales assistants and other customers looked at the three of them with surprise; it was the first time they had ever seen such a beautiful woman bring a man to buy clothes.

Moreover, the man's clothing and appearance made it clear that he was very ordinary, while the beautiful woman exuded a noble air, which inevitably led people to speculate that their relationship was unusual.

Li Mingxuan naturally had no idea what others were thinking. He just wanted to resolve this matter quickly. He had never had any experience shopping with girls before, so he had no idea how painful it was to go shopping with a girl.

After changing into more than ten outfits, Li Mingxuan finally emerged from the changing room, exhausted, and Lin Yue finally stopped.

"Alright, that's enough. Pack up the clothes I just picked out."

The sales assistant next to Lin Yue was overjoyed to hear what she said, because the clothes she had just picked out cost a total of eighty or ninety thousand yuan, which meant her commission for the month was already very good.

Immediately setting aside his previous preconceived notions, he put on a fawning smile and quickly packed up the clothes for Lin Yue.

"Sir/Madam, how do I pay?"

Just as Li Mingxuan was about to take out his bank card, he saw Lin Yue hand it over.

"Swipe your card!"

At this moment, everyone's eyes fell on Li Mingxuan, their gazes carrying a hint of strangeness.
