HuaYu: Starting with Photography to Navigate the Entertainment Industry

On the way to Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, Liu Yifei felt rather uneasy.

This was her first public appearance since the rumors broke out online.

She seemed unsure how to face the reporters.

She didn't even know what the specific arrangements were for today.

She was completely clueless too!

More importantly, she didn't know how to face it... Xu Lang!

Call... Boss?

Liu Yifei really didn't know if she could open her mouth.

Moreover, she resisted this title from the bottom of her heart.

Seeing that Liu Yifei was a little nervous, Jin Xin advised her:

"Sisi, it's okay. The boss said he's arranged everything. You just need to make an appearance and go through the motions. If you're in the mood, you can play longer if you want. If you don't want to play longer, you can go back to sleep after your appearance."

"This...isn't that inappropriate?"

"It's not bad at all, the boss will take care of everything!"

From Jin Xin's words, Liu Yifei could tell that she seemed very satisfied with and even admired her new boss.

Meanwhile, Liu Xiaoli, holding Liu Yifei's hand, advised:

"Sisi, don't think about it so much. Everything's alright now. Just be yourself and move on as before."

"Can things really be the same as before?"

Liu Yifei thought to herself silently.

Soon, the car arrived at Fangfei Garden of Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.

Looking at the crowd of people and reporters outside, Liu Yifei took a deep breath, adjusted her smile, and then pushed open the car door and got out.

"Click!"

The camera flash was flashing like a flashbang.

Liu Yifei flashed her signature smile, struck a pose next to the car, and waved to the reporters.

But deep down, she was worried, even afraid.

"What if they ask about 'transgender people' or 'pregnancy and abortion' later?"

Thinking about those rumors made Liu Yifei feel inexplicably nauseous and want to vomit.

Just then, Zeng Jia quickly stepped out from the crowd, rushed to Liu Yifei, and whispered something.

"Sisi, don't worry, no foolish reporter will dare to upset you today."

The boss said that anyone who dares to ask a question he doesn't like will be immediately thrown out.

"Well..."

Zeng Jia's advice truly calmed Liu Yifei down, and she silently thanked Xu Lang.

"That does fit Xu Lang's reckless and unruly personality!"

As expected, the reporters' questions were all very proper, and all related to music and television dramas:

"Ms. Liu Yifei, does this signing with Sony signify your intention to pursue a career in music?"

"Fairy Sister, I heard that the drama 'Struggle' has finished filming. Can you reveal some details about the characters or their backstories?"

"Liu Yifei, what are your plans for the future? Are you planning to switch careers and make movies?"

. . . . . .

Listening to these questions, Zeng Jia couldn't help but think to himself:

"As expected, nothing is ever truly bad if you spend money. A 1000 yuan travel allowance for each of them has definitely made these reporters behave!"

Thinking of this, Zeng Jia, along with his entourage, addressed the reporters:

"Let's not stand in a circle at the entrance. There will be a Q&A session later, so let's make way."

The reporters, having received the red envelopes, were exceptionally cooperative, following Zeng Jia inside one by one.

Surrounded by a crowd, Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli, dressed in their finest attire, arrived at the hotel entrance.

At the main entrance, there was a large flower basket and a huge portrait of Liu Yifei, with the following text written on it:

"Crystal Princess - Philippines, 18!"

Liu Yifei's coming-of-age ceremony, coinciding with the signing ceremony between Starway Entertainment and Sony Music.

Upon seeing the words "star path," Liu Yifei's heart tightened.

Previously, I always heard news from others.

Now, the appearance of the words "Star Path" signifies Xu Lang's official debut.

He appeared in the most important position in her career!

Perhaps, the same applies to life.

Beneath the giant portrait stands a handsome young man who is smiling at Liu Yifei.

That smile was rather frivolous, yet incredibly captivating!

That person was none other than Xu Lang.

Upon seeing Liu Yifei, Xu Lang quickly walked over.

Upon approaching Liu Yifei, Xu Lang looked her up and down. Seeing that she seemed to be in good spirits, he felt relieved.

Happy birthday to everyone's little princess!

As Xu Lang spoke, he handed over the bouquet of flowers he was holding.

"Old Xu..."

Liu Yifei hesitated, torn between calling him Xu Lang or Boss.

Just then, Xu Lang leaned over and whispered:

"You'll always be my senior, call me whatever you like."

Looking at Xu Lang's kind smile and listening to his thoughtful words, Liu Yifei felt another surge of emotion and said in a trembling voice:

"Junior brother, thank you!"

"Don't mention it. Making my senior happy is my duty!"

Xu Lang said with a smile, and walked into the room to greet her.

Just as they were about to leave, the emcee called out from the side:

Chairman Wang Zhongjun, General Manager Wang Zhonglei, and Executive General Manager Li Xue from Huayi Brothers Media Corporation came to offer their congratulations.

Upon hearing these three names, Liu Xiaoli's heart skipped a beat.

Previously, she had various connections with Huayi Brothers, but in the end, nothing came of it, and Huayi Brothers was probably unhappy about it.

Now, they have actually arrived at the coming-of-age ceremony, which makes Liu Xiaoli a little nervous.

When Xu Lang heard the three names, his heart stirred, but soon he smiled and strode towards them.

"Oh, Chairman Wang, General Manager Wang, and General Manager Li, it's such an honor to have you here."

"Look, you're here, why did you bring anything?"

As he spoke, Xu Lang took the bag from Li Xue's hand.

"Well..."

Seeing Xu Lang's actions, Li Xue rolled her eyes.

"Mr. Xu, this is my handbag. We'll deliver the gift in a bit."

"Oh, you've gone to so much trouble! You're too kind!"

"You're welcome. In fact, we're practically family. How could our head office not attend a subsidiary's celebration?!"

Li Xue's words carried a strange hint of bitterness.

Xu Lang, of course, knew that Huayi Brothers would be unhappy that he had snatched Liu Yifei away.

Hearing Li Xue's words, Xu Lang quickly nodded in agreement.

"Mr. Li, you're absolutely right. I've been waiting for you to come."

"You promised me 1000 million yuan for the acquisition, but you haven't transferred it yet. Chairman Wang, General Manager Wang, could you please urge you to do so?"

"Please urge?"

Hearing Xu Lang's words, Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei were furious. They were the bosses, the second-in-commands, the heads of the family.

"Whom do you want us to urge?"

You might as well just give us both our names!

This was the first time Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei had met Xu Lang. Looking at Xu Lang's grinning face and listening to his words, the two couldn't help but think to themselves:

"Isn't this just a little scoundrel?!"

Why did you let him get up?!

Wang Zhonglei glanced at Liu Yifei beside him, then scanned the surroundings, and said,

"Xu Lang, why is it so quiet today? You only brought a bunch of reporters. Are you planning a press conference?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhongjun echoed:

"Yeah, I should have transferred some people from the company to support you."

We're all part of the same system, so if something like this happens again, don't hesitate to let me know in advance.

If word gets out, I won't look good!

As he spoke, he patted Xu Lang on the shoulder and asked with a smile:

"Xu Lang, don't you think so?"
