There’s No God in Show Business

Moving out of the dormitory arranged by Tianyu, Lin Xi loaded the last box into the back seat of Wang Fang's business car, and the car shook twice aggrievedly as if complaining. The things had been packed as early as last night, and they could move out just waiting for the contract to be terminated today.

Lin Xi sat in the passenger seat, Wang Fang was stunned, and asked, "Boss, where are you going now? Looking for a house?"

He looked down at the time on the dial of the car and found that it was almost 12 o'clock. Lin Xi thought for a while, and said, "Go eat something first, and then look for a house slowly in the afternoon."

The two simply bought a boxed lunch and settled it on the side of the road. Passers-by kept staring at Lin Xi furtively. No matter men or women, everyone looked back at Lin Xi for a long time before moving on.

Wang Fang bit his chopsticks and smiled cheerfully: "Boss, look quickly, that girl almost tripped over the steps when she saw you!"

At this moment, Lin Xi wanted to bury her face in the food.

The reason why these passers-by look at themselves is because this face is so outstanding and impeccable, but... As an artist who has debuted for a year and has such "characteristics", no passer-by can recognize who he is. It is the biggest shame of being an artist.

In the afternoon, the two walked through several real estate agencies but failed to find a suitable house. Wang Fang was so tired that he leaned on the back of the driver's seat, panting heavily, and said, "Boss, why don't you go to my house first?" Hang around for a few days. Although it’s not as clean as yours, at least it has a den.”

There was also a little sweat on Lin Xi's forehead, which quickly evaporated after touching the slightly cold autumn air. He shook his head, his eyes were deep, and it took a long time before he said helplessly: "Drive, go to CX for entertainment."

Although Wang Fang was puzzled, he didn't ask any further questions, and drove straight to the building of CX Entertainment.

It was not until 4:30 when the two arrived downstairs at CX Entertainment. After parking the car in the underground parking lot of the building, the two stood in front of the 76-story building, and neither of them spoke.

Wang Fang didn't speak because he was afraid. Standing in front of such a towering building, he just felt lost. He was worried that if he accidentally said the wrong thing, it would cause trouble.

But Lin Xi thought much more complicated in his heart.

It is almost impossible for a newcomer to get involved in the entertainment industry by himself, let alone a newcomer like me who is poor and has no background. If it is necessary to terminate the contract with Tianyu, then it is imperative to find a new company.

In the entire Tianchao entertainment industry, if there is any company that can compete with Tianyu, it must be CX Entertainment.

Unlike Tianyu, CX Entertainment is a branch of the Chu Group. Tianyu is simply an entertainment company, but CX Entertainment has the Chu Group as its backer, with rich family resources.

Originally, Tianyu had always been a faint dominator in the music world, but since Songshen and Shu Shan didn't renew their contract last year and switched to CX Entertainment instead, Tianyu's position in the entertainment industry has become embarrassing.

And CX Entertainment has always been a leading representative in the show business circle, but it's just a little bit inferior in the music world. But now, Tianyu doesn't even have a few stars in the music scene. On the contrary, CX Entertainment has already reached the top in Tianchao, Tianyu can only say that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and it can barely hold on with the name of an established entertainment company.

It is estimated that after the last trump card Qi Wenyuan fell to his death, Tianyu really lost his vitality.

Thinking of Tianyu's current tragic situation, Lin Xi couldn't help showing a smile on his face. He stared at the floor of Chu's Group which was more than twice as high as Tianyu, but he didn't feel any nervousness in his heart, he lifted his foot and entered the gate of Chu's Group.

Wang Fang took a deep breath and followed closely.

Li Rongrong at the front desk was wearing a close-fitting formal suit and was sorting out the documents with her head down. She inadvertently raised her head and saw Lin Xi and the two walking towards them.

Lin Xi knocked on the table for the second time, and said again: "Hi, I want to see He Shu Shan."

The person next to him immediately pushed the sluggish Li Rongrong, and only then did he bring the little girl back to her senses.

"You... hello, who are you looking for?"

A hint of impatience flashed in Lin Xi's eyes, but he couldn't help but smile when he saw the little girl staring at his face, and said helplessly for the third time: "I'm looking for CX Entertainment, and Shu Shan."

Seeing the sunny smile on the other party's face, Li Rongrong let out an "ah" and immediately replied: "I... I'll call and consult for you right away." She completely forgot to ask the other party if she had an appointment. The proud temper of the front desk lady.

"Okay... okay, you can go up now, it's on the 7... 72nd floor."

Seeing the little girl's awkward expression, Lin Xi thought of teasing again. He lowered his eyes and looked at the blushing little girl tenderly, curled his lips into a chuckle, and said in a low voice, "Thank you."

Then he gave the little girl who was stunned again a meaningful look, turned around and walked towards the elevator.

And just after Lin Xi turned around, a masculine male voice sounded behind him: "Li Rongrong, do you still dare to take pictures with your mobile phone during working hours?"

Lin Xi chuckled and entered the elevator door.

The Chu Group has a lot of wealth and wealth, and built a 76-story office building in the center of City B, which is a thousand dollars and one level, which is the building where Lin Xi is currently located. This building is definitely considered a high-rise building. The 1st to 15th floors are Chu’s restaurant chain hotel, the 16th to 51st floors are respectively Chutian Technology, Chufeng Construction, etc., and only the 52nd to 73rd floors are CX Entertainment.

The elevator quickly arrived at the 72nd floor. As soon as Lin Xi opened the door, he saw a man as warm as a spring breeze, with a gentle smile, standing by the elevator waiting. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes when he saw him, but he quickly covered it up.

Leading Wang Fang out of the elevator door, Lin Xi took a deep breath, forced a smile on his face, and said, "Hello, senior."

He and Shu Shan obviously didn't expect that it would be Lin Xi who came to find him, but his good qualities prevented him from showing any surprise. He just nodded slightly, and led Lin Xi to his lounge, while He smiled and asked, "Lin Xi? You came to see me, is there anything you want?"

He and Shu Shan naturally knew Lin Xi, so why did he not leave Tianyu when Pan Lun signed Lin Xi last year. But during the time in Tianyu, he didn't speak a few words with Lin Xi, who was always taciturn.

Lin Xi looked at the man who was leading the way for him, feeling sad in his heart.

It's obviously an old friend, but I really can't easily talk about this kind of resurrection from a dead body.

Based on my understanding of He Shu Shan, as I expected, it is absolutely impossible to reject Lin Xi from the door with He Shu Shan's cheerful and friendly personality. No matter what the other party's intentions are, he will definitely give Lin Xi a chance.

After arriving at the lounge, Lin Xi sat opposite, and personally poured a cup of warm water for Lin Xi and Wang Fang with Shu Shan, and said with a shy smile, "I want to protect my throat, and there is no coffee in the lounge." Drinks, a little crude, don't mind."

"No... no, thank you God of Songs!" Wang Fang had never talked to such a big-name figure, and the other party actually poured water for him. He immediately felt very satisfied, and felt that it was right to choose to follow Lin Xi.

Lin Xi knew about the habit with Shu Shan a long time ago, so naturally she didn't mind anything. He looked at He Shu Shan who was sitting across from him, and saw that the other person's eyes were blackish, it must be because he didn't sleep well last night.

He Shushan asked: "So, what do you want to do with me?"

"Actually, Brother Qi asked me to come to you before. He said that if I have anything to do, I can discuss it with you directly."

Hearing the familiar name, He Shu Shan's eyes widened suddenly, his fingers trembled and he almost couldn't hold the cup firmly. It took a long time to recover, with indescribable sadness on his face, his lips moved, and his voice tremblingly said: "A Yuan... asked you to come to me? Did he say anything?"

Seeing his friend like this, Lin Xi felt a burst of sadness in his heart.

"Brother Qi said that you are his best friend. As long as I come to you for something, you will never refuse." After achieving his goal, Lin Xi couldn't hold back his friend's sad expression for a while, and said bluntly : "Brother Qi must not have the heart to see you like this, you have to take good care of yourself."

He Shu Shan was taken aback when he heard the words, wiped his moist eyes, suppressed the pain in his heart, and said, "Thank you, I'm fine." Zhong recovered and asked, "Is there anything you can do for me?"

Lin Xi put aside the surging emotions in his heart just now, and said bluntly: "Senior, actually... I just terminated the contract with Tianyu today."

He Shu Shan was stunned, recovered and continued to ask: "You... how can you afford the liquidated damages?" Realizing what he said, he said apologetically, "I'm sorry."

Lin Xi smiled and said, "Brother Qi helped with the liquidated damages." Although he did know what Pan Lun was doing, he didn't have any evidence. Pan Lun has always done this kind of thing smoothly, without leaking any water. So it is impossible to bring down Pan Lun from this point, and he can only hide the liquidated damages from He Shushan.

He Shushan sighed softly: "A Yuan is really... well, since you are no longer in Tianyu, do you want to sign a contract with CX Entertainment?"

Lin Xi nodded heavily.

This matter may be a little difficult for other CX Entertainment's first-line stars, but for He Shu Shan, it is just a trivial matter. He called quickly, and within an hour, he saw an elite-looking man with silver glasses entering the lounge with a thick contract.

The other party was wearing a gray casual suit, and the cuffs of the white shirt were rolled up a few times, looking quite capable and simple.

The visitor looked at Lin Xi carefully, then sat down with satisfaction, put a contract on the glass coffee table in front of Lin Xi, and said, "Look at this contract first."

Lin Xi nodded, picked up the documents in front of him and looked through them. He has seen a lot of this kind of signing contracts with Pan Lun, so he scanned them very quickly. When his gaze swept over a paragraph of text, he suddenly stopped, and looked up at He Shu Shan in surprise, only to see that the other party was looking at him with a gentle smile.

Shu Shan, I owe you this time.

The two quickly signed the contract and kept it in triplicate.

Lin Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief and stood up, and the man with the glasses also stood up, stretched out his right hand, and said, "Then it will be a cooperative relationship from now on. I am your manager, Ji Chengshu, and I will be in charge of your future affairs."

Lin Xi looked at the other party solemnly, and reached out to shake hands: "I'm Lin Xi, please give me your advice."

Ji Chengshu's name, Lin Xi, has naturally been heard before. The ace manager of CX Entertainment, under his management has artists of all sizes such as the king of heaven, Zhu Qing, and the queen of heaven, Ye Yiyi. He can be said to be one of the hottest top managers in the entertainment industry.

Lin Xi recognized Ji Chengshu the moment he entered the room, but he didn't expect that He Shushan would let Ji Chengshu be his manager, and Ji Chengshu actually agreed.

Everyone knows that Lin Xi is just a vase with an empty appearance. To get this result, He Shu Shan must have put in a lot of effort. Oh, Shu Shan...

Lin Xi looked at He Shu Shan with complicated eyes, and the latter returned a gentle smile and said, "Then Lin Xi will be a colleague of the company from now on. Work hard."

Lin Xi nodded and said, "Well, thank you... Shu Shan."

Hearing someone call out his name in such a familiar tone, He Shu Shan couldn't help being startled, and suddenly remembered his dead friend. He was sad in his heart, but he knew that this beautiful young man in front of him was definitely not an old friend.

Watching Lin Xi, Ji Chengshu, and Wang Fang walk out of their lounge, he and Shu Shan suddenly remembered something, and said loudly: "By the way, Lin Xi, Director Li has an audition for a costume play tomorrow, you can try it. "After speaking, he remembered Lin Xi's "exquisite acting skills", and he couldn't help but feel annoyed by his aphasia.

I didn't think about it, but I saw Lin Xi looking back and smiling lightly, his face like a celestial being was against the light, and the beautiful curve of his cheeks was even more outlined.

"Okay, thank you, Shu Shan."

Seeing that kind of appearance, Shu Shan was stunned in place.

After leaving the gate of Tianyu, Lin Xi's cell phone rang suddenly. He just pressed the answer button, only to hear a serious and rational voice from the other end: "I'm Ji Chengshu, save this number. I will pick you up at CX's dormitory at 7:00 tomorrow morning, don't be late. Pay attention to makeup... um , you don’t need makeup, go to bed early today, and stay in the best condition.”

Lin Xi didn't even have a chance to interrupt during the call. After confirming that the other party didn't have any demands, Lin Xi asked, "Are you going to audition for director Li He's crew tomorrow?"

Ji Chengshu paused at the other end, and answered in the affirmative: "Well, the crew of "Ling Shen". I will send the script to your email right away. You can take a quick look at it tonight, choose a character that you think is suitable, and try to figure out the character of the character. .”

"Okay." Lin Xi agreed decisively.

"Pay attention to rest, I don't want to see you in poor condition tomorrow."

"good."

"I have arranged for someone to take you to the dormitory, don't be late tomorrow."

"good."

As if startled by Lin Xi's repeated "yes", Ji Chengshu was silent for a long time without speaking. Lin Xi frowned suspiciously, and asked, "Ji Chengshu? Is there anything else?"

After a while, what Lin Xi responded to was the beeping sound of the computer being hung up.

Lin Xi looked at the phone speechlessly, why didn't he know that Ji Chengshu's temper was so weird before
