Hello Mr. King

Chapter 152: Super High Rank

He Wei brought Yun Xiangxiang to meet He Zhen and He Shen after she settled matters with Xue Yu. They were the leader of Huan Yu Century Entertainment and the one who would succeed him.

He Shen was the one who signed the contract with her. Naturally, she was familiar with him. However, she only greeted him with a nod.

This was He Zhen’s first time meeting Yun Xiangxiang. He Zhen became a bit more affable when he saw his nephew protecting her like she was a treasure.

He Wei took her to meet with the people in his circle. He took her along almost everywhere he went. He absolutely didn’t give anyone a chance to get close.

“Do you guys think that Yun Xiangxiang and Brother Wei are...?” Yun Xiangxiang noticed that someone was talking about her behind her back once she came out of the restroom.

The guy didn’t finish his sentence. However, even an idiot could understand what he was trying to say from his ambiguous tone.

“Who knows. But Yun Xiangxiang is really pretty. Only Sister Man can go toe to toe with her in the whole of Huan Yu Century Entertainment.”

“Besides, she’s so much younger than Sister Man. He Wei already wangled the endorsement for MonRoe for her using his connections the moment she came in.”

“Yeah. I won’t believe it if anyone says that there’s nothing between them. The little lady may look young, but her skills in bed can be...”

The group of people cackled. Yun Xiangxiang pretended that she didn’t hear that and walked away from their backs expressionlessly.

The training in her previous life had made her deathly calm in the face of rumors.

It was impossible for any public figure to avoid getting talked behind their backs. There would be praises and condemnation. Even if she could stop a few of them, she couldn’t stop all of them.

She promptly thought of what they said as nonsense. A person with courtesy should not bother themselves with the vulgarities of brutes. This was a matter of good refinement.

Yun Xiangxiang saw that He Wei was together with Li Man when she went back to the great hall to look for him.

Li Man was wearing a light blue and silver-colored pencil skirt. Her top was a white shirt with an open collar.

Her wavy hair fell on her right side. It was sexy, elegant, and fashionable.

She was a proper stunner wherever she was.

“Little princess, you’re back.” Li Man saw Yun Xiangxiang first. She waved at her before straightening her torso and lifted her wine glass. “Alright, your little princess is back. I won’t bother you guys. I’ll leave now.”

Li Man winked at Yun Xiangxiang before she left. It was no less electrifying than the first time they met.

“I saw Sister Man before this,” Yun Xiangxiang didn’t report it. “She even gave me a keychain fully embedded with diamonds.”

He Wei took a sip of his wine and looked at Yun Xiangxiang wonderingly, “What are you trying to say?”

“She promoted the news of me signing a contract with the company. She’s also very friendly to me the first time we met,” said Yun Xiangxiang.

“And?”

“I thought that it was because I have infinite charisma to be able to win over Sister Man,” Yun Xiangxiang looked at He Wei teasingly. “Now I know that it’s actually because her love for a certain someone extends to everything and everyone around him.”

The way Li Man looked at He Wei just now was out of a deep love that couldn’t be hidden. She swiftly captured that.

She didn’t even know that Li Man was actually having a thing for He Wei. It was little wonder she wasn’t in a hurry about her relationship all these years.

“Don’t think about nonsense, little lady,” He Wei’s voice was flat.

Yun Xiangxiang could feel that He Wei was disinclined to continue this topic. Li Man was so gorgeous. Her personality was great too.

She and He Wei looked great when they stood side by side. However, He Wei didn’t seem to like her.

“Ai, it’s a shame. The goddess pours her heart out, yet the monarch does not dream about her,” Yun Xiangxiang sighed sagely.

He Wei was about to say something when He Shen’s voice boomed from the microphone. “Thank you, everyone, for taking some time out of your busy schedule to attend Huan Yu Century Entertainment’s New Year’s celebration...”

He Shen’s speech and the way he brought himself usually followed a set formula. He was still applauded after he finished his speech.

“Next up will be the first major event of Huan Yu’s New Year’s celebration: the photo wall. It will be revealed by my father himself.” The marble wall beneath the stone sculpture outside Huan Yu Century Entertainment’s gates was shown behind He Shen after he finished his announcement.

It was the most conspicuous place if anyone were to go in or out of Huan Yu Century Entertainment. It was also a place that gathered the photos of all of Huan Yu Century Entertainment’s actors and actresses.

They were arranged from high to low, and from little to many. Every rank depicted the actor’s status in the company.

It would be updated annually and fluctuate according to the changes in the actor’s value over that year.

Every actor in Huan Yu Century Entertainment was filled with trepidation. It was because this would be their result slip for the past year.

He Zhen stood outside and pulled the curtain that was blocking it down bit by bit. The one on the top was the first to be revealed. It was the only photo to take up one whole row. It was the biggest one. It was Xue Yu.

“Congratulations, senior.” Yun Xiangxiang congratulated Xue Yu who was standing beside her amidst the thunderous applause.

He Shen was already starting to talk about Xue Yu’s contribution to the company, the sales last year, as well as the records he made over there.

The curtain was pulled down yet again after He Shen finished his announcement. Li Man’s photo was the first to appear in the second row. Shu Han’s photo would follow next.

Shu Han was Huan Yu Century Entertainment’s main actress along with Hua Xiangrong, Lu Huanong, and Ge Jiao two years earlier. They were just behind Li Man.

Now that Hua Xiangrong was gone, and Lu Huanong was sidelined, Shu Huan became the one who ranked alongside Li Man.

He Shen also introduced Shu Han after he introduced Li Man.

The red silk moved down yet again. The first place on the third row was Ge Jiao. However, Yun Xiangxiang didn’t expect herself to rank right after Ge Jiao!

Everyone gasped when they saw Yun Xiangxiang being at the center of the third row, which was the fifth ranking in Huan Yu Century Entertainment.

“Awesome, junior.” Xue Yu gave Yun Xiangxiang a big thumbs up.

Strictly speaking, it had not even been a whole year since she entered Huan Yu Century Entertainment. Every actor and actress here climbed their way up from the bottom.

Of course, this ranking wasn’t based on income. Yun Xiangxiang would be at the bottom otherwise.

The potential in the future took up a bigger weightage.

This ranking also wasn’t just the actors’ rank. It reflected the company’s distribution of resources starting from this year.

This was also a signal that signified Yun Xiangxiang would be one of the newcomers whom the company would support tremendously.

He Shen also had his speech ready. Those who couldn’t accept it at first slightly came to terms with it when they heard about Yun Xiangxiang having a long term collaboration with MonRoe, as well as appearing on New York City’s fashion weekly: “EF.”

“This is happy news: the company received a great announcement from “EF” this morning. Thirty thousand copies of their weekly this month were sold out in a day. It broke their sales record...”

Thirty thousand copies were sold out?

Lots of people were really curious about her in the Big Apple. However, even that wouldn’t cause thirty thousand copies to be sold out in a day.

Yun Xiangxiang went to a place where no one was there when nobody had their eyes on her. She took her phone out of her bag and called Song Mian.

“You said it was because you needed to use them as New Year’s gifts last year. What’s your reason this time?” She wouldn’t believe that Song Mian could give anyone fashion magazines as gifts.

“We have so many hospitals. The waiting area, the queueing area, even the wards will have some weeklies for them to read. The Big Apple’s top fashion weekly magazine has always been our choice,” Song Mian explained relaxedly.

It’s just that we have never bought so many before this.
