Chapter 43 Very Confident
At this time, it was already working hours, but perhaps the staff of entertainment companies differ from ordinary office workers. There were still many people going in and out at the entrance, dressed glamorously, most of them strikingly handsome men and beautiful women. Some faces seemed familiar to Liu Wentian, as if he had seen them on television before.
Upon entering the building, Liu Wentian was first asked to register, then to his surprise, someone even scanned his body up and down with a device. The security was meticulous in questioning his reason for being there, no wonder Zhao Hong had said that Bai Ruguo didn't need his protection while at the company, she was very confident about security at the company for Bai Ruguo.
Liu Wentian approached the reception desk and said, "Hello, I'm here to see Miss Zhao Hong."
The pretty girl at the front desk smiled politely upon hearing his words and said, "May I ask how to address you, sir? Do you have an appointment?"
"My name is Liu Wentian. Miss Zhao Hong called me last night and asked me to come see her today," Liu Wentian replied.
The girl looked a bit surprised when she heard this, then said, "So you're Mr. Liu. Hong said to let her know as soon as you arrived. Please wait a moment."
She looked curious. The man seemed very ordinary, so why had Zhao specifically instructed her to notify her as soon as he arrived? One should realize that not even the second-generation rich and officials' sons got this kind of treatment.
After a while, the girl finished her call and said to Liu Wentian, "Mr. Liu, Hong is currently with a client, but she said she will be down shortly. Please wait a moment longer."
Liu Wentian nodded.
At that moment, his shoulder was suddenly bumped, followed by the sound of a pile of things dropping to the floor.
"Ah, I'm so sorry."
Liu Wentian turned around and saw a tall, slender girl, about 18 or 19 years old, wearing big black-framed glasses with a delicate face. She was panicking and staring at him. She had a folder in her left hand, and many papers had already fallen to the ground.
"It's okay, don't worry about it," he said with a smile.
Liu Wentian smiled, crouched down, and helped the girl pick up the papers.
"Thank you," the girl said with a grateful expression on her face.
Liu Wentian handed the picked-up papers back to the girl and said, "You're welcome. But tell me, isn't it heavy for a girl to be carrying all this stuff?"
The girl had a big backpack on her slender shoulders, several large shopping bags hanging from the crook of her left arm, and was also pulling a huge suitcase with her right hand. It looked like she would struggle to bend over without toppling to the ground, which is why Liu Wentian had offered to help her up.
The girl smiled shyly and said, "It's not heavy, really, thank you very much. I have to hurry, so I'll be going now."
After saying that, she walked toward the door, but her pace was slow and seemed strained. Her earlier claim that it wasn't heavy was obviously nonsense.
A sharp and thin voice suddenly came from the direction of the door.
"Xie Xiaoyu, are you a snail? Why are you moving so slowly? If you delay Chun's performance, can you take responsibility? Move faster, damn it!"
Liu Wentian looked over and saw a person with androgynous attire, porcelain-like skin, and delicate features, who was currently pointing his finger at the girl with an arrogant and impatient expression. Honestly, if he were covering his Adam's apple, Liu Wentian might really have trouble telling if he was a man or a woman.
"This guy actually refers to himself as 'old mother,' he really is a piece of work," Liu Wentian murmured.
The girl named Xie Xiaoyu, upon seeing the effeminate man, looked panicked and quickly said, "Agent Luo, I'll catch up immediately, right away."
After speaking, she quickened her pace, but the items were so heavy that she tripped and fell to the ground in her hurry.
Seeing this, Agent Luo walked over furiously, pointing his finger almost against Xie Xiaoyu's nose, his voice even shriller in anger.
"What use are you as a life assistant? You're useless! You can't even handle this little thing. If you screw up again, just get lost. There are plenty of people lining up to be Chun's assistant!"
Xie Xiaoyu looked pained as she rubbed her sprained ankle. Hearing Agent Luo's words, she said with a hint of grievance,
"But Agent Luo, you didn't tell me to prepare these things last night. I was only informed an hour ago, which is why I just managed to gather and pack everything, so it took a bit longer."
Frustrated by the pointing and whispering of the people around them, Agent Luo snapped, "Oh, so you little bitch think you're someone important? A mere life assistant daring to talk back to a top agent, do you believe I can have you fired this instant?"
Tears welled up in the girl's eyes, but eventually, she gritted her teeth and, bearing the pain in her foot, stood up.
She looked at the agent stubbornly.
"What are you staring at me for? You want to bite me? You're really cheap! If you can't even stand this bit of hardship, then don't come to Shenming City. Roll back to your hick town, you country bumpkin. You really think you're so precious? Get lost quickly, Chun Chun is still waiting outside!" the agent coldly snapped at the girl.
Grinding her teeth, the girl ultimately managed to pack everything up with difficulty and followed behind the agent.
However, because she had twisted her ankle, she walked with a limp, her eyebrows nearly knotting into a lump.
"Hurry up! Dilly-dallying!" the agent turned his head and scolded her again with his sharp, thin voice.
Liu Wentian finally couldn't hold back and walked over, resentfully saying, "Hey man, you make a poor girl carry such a huge pile of stuff, don't you feel any shame?"
Seeing Liu Wentian stick up for her, the agent was first startled, then sized up Liu Wentian with a glance, and after clearing him based on his attire, looked at him with full disdain.
"Where did this pauper come from, sneaking in here with those ragged clothes? The security is getting more and more incompetent. Do you even know where this is? This is Feige Entertainment Company, filled with stars everywhere, and it's the fashion hub of the whole Huaxia. Now, look at your outfit; you're practically a beggar. Do you think you're fit to stand here?"
"Forget it, I can't be bothered to deal with a peasant worker like you. It lowers my standards. You better scram right now. My matters are not something you can meddle with. At Feige Entertainment, there really aren't many who dare to interfere in my business. Get the hell out!!"
Liu Wentian scoffed, "My clothes might be low class, but they're still better than a dead transvestite like you. A grown man dressed up like a woman—I'm not surprised you're unleashing such a huge temper on the girl. It's not scary to be a transvestite; what's scary is a self-righteous dead transvestite who thinks they have any class!"
The onlookers around them couldn't help but laugh out at this moment.
The agent liking men and hating women was well-known to everyone, but as the company's top agent, no one dared to call him a transvestite to his face.
Many of the onlookers felt a burst of relief when they heard Liu Wentian calling the other a dead transvestite, but they mourned for him inwardly, "This youngster is in big trouble now."
"You... you little bastard, how dare you curse at me!? Say it again if you dare!!" the agent's face showed an expression of disbelief as he fumed.
Liu Wentian curled his lips, "I really haven't come across someone as despicable as you, being cursed and even asking for more. It seems you're not just a dead transvestite, but also a masochist."
"Wah, wah, wah! You're infuriating me, you little bastard, you anim—" Ah!!"
"Slap!"
Before he could finish speaking, he was slapped across the face by Liu Wentian, and one of his teeth was even knocked out, falling to the ground.
This slap was truly powerful!!
Liu Wentian's voice was cold as ice, "If you dare to curse one more word, I'll knock out all your teeth!"
Liu Wentian had already felt disgusted with the man for bullying the girl, and now that he dared to curse at him, he certainly wasn't going to be polite.
The people around saw how domineering Liu Wentian was—he didn't even hesitate to send the agent's teeth flying out with a single blow—and they were somewhat frightened.
"Who is this young man? He's so ferocious! How come we've never seen him in the company before?"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"You…"
The agent covered his face, blood at his mouth, bitterly staring at Liu Wentian. He was about to curse with anger, but when he saw Liu Wentian's gaze cold as an Ice Blade, he swallowed the words back.
"What's going on? Brother Luo, why have you been in here for so long, and that guy Xiao Yu hasn't come out yet?"
A handsome young man who looked as good as a Zhao Nation celebrity approached, yelling from afar, but when he came closer and saw the palm print on the agent's face, his expression changed dramatically, and he angrily said,
"You got hit? Who hit you?"
The onlookers, seeing the handsome man, immediately wiped the smiles off their faces, as if fearful of being seen by him.
"This young man is in trouble now, daring to hit Lv Chun's man. It feels good but it's a bit reckless."
"Yeah, Lv Chun just won the Shenming City's Best New Actor in Film and Television award not long ago. The company is promoting him heavily right now. He's very influential, and nobody dares to provoke him."
