Chapter 205 - To Become A Queen Maker (2)
Su Xiaofei turned her head and glanced at Wan An as she found the woman staring at her face. She had opted not to put on makeup today because she was in a rush and was hoping that her dark circles weren't noticeable at the moment. She had no idea that Wan An was thinking about how she resembled Bai Qingyue so much.
Su Xiaofei looked around and noticed that there weren't many people at the lobby. People come and go and unlike the previous company she was signed with, Su Xiaofei could see that the employees of Bluemedia were all professionals, seeing that they didn't bother to stop to chit-chat with one another.
The place was decorated with a modern and minimalist theme, and while Bluemedia had been in the entertainment industry for over a decade, they had only produced one queen in their long history. Even now, they didn't have a top star they could brag about to everyone.
Most of the talents of Bluemedia were second and third tier stars in the industry and while some had their own strengths and talents, they have yet to receive a break that could allow them to transcend to a first tier status. At most, there were only three first tier bankable stars in Bluemedia.
In her previous life, Su Xiaofei managed to become a B-rated actress with a few music albums under her name. If there was something Ye Mingyu and Bai Qingyue didn't have, it was the ability to sing well on stage, like Su Xiaofei. However, during her fifth year in the industry, her vocal cords had been injured in an incident that Ye Mingyu instigated. Since then, Su Xiaofei hadn't been able to reach the notes she used to hit.
In order for Bluemedia to develop, the management needed to take some risk to expand the company. Not only did they need to raise the worth of their talents, but they also needed to keep up with the pace of their competitors.
As Su Xiaofei walked into the company with the Zhang siblings, they spotted a group of new recruits and talents waiting for the elevator. Since Su Xiaofei didn't want any special treatment for her observation period, she decided to mingle with the rest for a better perspective.
When Wan An appeared with a beautiful young woman next to her, these five new recruits turned their heads and scrutinized Su Xiaofei. Other young women would lower their heads in shame, but Su Xiaofeo only arched a single brow at them, daring them to say something.
They were young and inexperienced, so it's natural that they would feel threatened when another person with outstanding looks and talent appeared from nowhere.
"Ms. Wan, is this your new recruit? Or is she one of those talents VP Fang poached from somewhere?" Li Jing, one of the agents of Bluemedia, asked Wan An. He had a curious look on his face as he looked at Su Xiaofei.
"Something like that." Wan An frowned. She really didn't like and didn't get along with Li Jing as he could be atrocious at times. "She will eventually join our company, so I'm giving her a tour."
A gleam of light flashed in Li Jing's eyes and his smile slightly faltered, while the young women behind him had different reactions upon hearing what Wan An just said. Some frowned and thought that Su Xiaofei only managed to enter the company through the backdoor.
Su Xiaofei smiled and regarded Li Jing. She slightly regretted that she didn't get involved with Bluemedia in her previous life, so her knowledge of her mother's company was limited.
Among these new recruits, someone piqued her attention, though. This young woman was younger than what Su Xiaofei remembered, but she certainly looked familiar. It could be said that the moment Su Xiaofei saw her, she felt a feeling of the fox grieving when the rabbit died.
Xiao Rufeng. In Su Xiaofei's past life, she was a struggling actress with many controversies attached to her name. Despite being a beauty and having an impeccable talent for acting, Xiao Rufeng was repeatedly slandered on social media for various reasons.
A video of her slapping her own younger sister in a private event circulated, and she was painted as a vicious woman. However, how can Su Xiaofei not see that it was merely a ploy by Xiao Rufeng's younger half-sister to ruin her?
The Xiao family was a big shot in Shenjing and Xiao Rufeng was known as the black sheep of the family. Like Su Xiaofei, Xiao Rufeng didn't mince her words and didn't care for what people said about her. She was always transparent whether she liked a person or not.
Alas, being the public's number one enemy wasn't a good thing for an actress like Xiao Rufeng. Not only was she blacklisted in the entertainment industry due to false accusations of drugs and tax evasion, but she was disowned by the Xiao family. This eventually allowed her younger sister, Xiao Yunyao to become the sole heir to the Xiao family fortune.
"Hi! Are you a trainee too?" Su Xiaofei greeted Xiao Rufeng with a gentle smile on her face. The glint in her eyes indicated that she just stumbled on a valuable pawn she could utilize in the future.
Xiao Rufeng was taken aback, as she didn't expect anyone would talk to her. Then, she saw Su Xiaofei smiling at her.
"Y-yes." She muttered. Although Xiao Rufeng had an unrivaled potential when it comes to acting, her socializing skills were lacking due to the constant pressure she received from her family and from constantly being compared to Xiao Yunyao.
The group then entered the elevator. Li Jing was asking Wan An some questions, but she decided to ignore him. Meanwhile, Xiao Rufeng felt uncomfortable standing next to Su Xiaofei.
"Miss Wan, is it possible for me to see how the training is conducted?" Su Xiaoffei suddenly asked, wanting to see more of the new recruits of Bluemedia.
