It wasn't the first time that Ye Mingyu had shamelessly come to Golden Star Entertainment to visit Mo Yuchen, which earned her the disgust of other talents of the agency and the displeasure of Mo Yuchen's secretaries.
Some of them think that Ye Mingyu was quite thick-skinned for coming over unannounced, as if Mo Yuchen would always treat her with utmost priority. Even Su Xiaofei, Mo Yuchen's ex-fiancée, wasn't as shameless as her.
It wasn't new to hear a starlet trying to pave her way to stardom by finding a money boss that backs her up, and most of the employees at Golden Star could only scoff as they see Ye Mingyu seated at the lounge area that was exclusive for the guests of their big boss.
Ye Mingyu looked like she wasn't even bothered by how other people viewed her at the moment because she was certain that they wouldn't be able to do anything against her as long as she had Mo Yuchen's support. She had been waiting for the secretary to call her name and lead her inside Mo Yuchen's office. However, it had been over five minutes since her arrival, but no one had called her attention yet.
She looked around, but it only made her aware that she was being treated like she wasn't even there in the first place. It was as if Golden Star's employees didn't want to acknowledge her presence.
Just as she thought that her visit wouldn't be entertained, a familiar secretary came to her and politely told her to follow her to the CEO's office. She forced herself to smile, waiting for the other woman to apologize to her for making her wait for so long, but it never came, much to Ye Mingyu's annoyance.
Ye Mingyu picked up her purse and followed the woman without a word. The clicking of their heels on the well polished floors was the only thing she could hear as the secretary didn't say anything more to her.
The door to the office was left open, and she spotted Mo Yuchen's name plaque next to the door. Inside the office, Ye Mingyu noticed that there wasn't any hint of clutter on it compared to the last time she had paid Mo Yuchen a visit.
The secretary left once she was done with her task of bringing Ye Mingyu in, silently closing the door, leaving the two on their own. Ye Mingyu waited for Mo Yuchen to acknowledge her presence, but it seemed that, just like the rest of his employees, he didn't want to waste his time on her.
Ye Mingyu could see him with his back facing her. He sat in an executive leather chair, facing the windows. Torrents of rain blurred the view of gray roads and red brake lights. His large, tanned hand was holding a cell phone to an ear. It was obvious that he was talking with someone before her arrival.
Ye Mingyu waited patiently, but as seconds passed without Mo Yuchen budging from his seat to acknowledge her, her annoyance was starting to get the best of her. Were rich people like him and Su Xiaofei even qualified to treat commoners like her as if they were nothing? Just because they had money, they could treat her poorly like this?
However, the thought of getting back at Su Xiaofei by utilizing Mo Yuchen was enough to calm Ye Mingyu down. According to her sources, Su Xiaofei used to hold deep feelings for Mo Yuchen and despite the annulment of the two's engagement, she had spotted them arguing during the birthday party a few weeks ago.
Didn't this mean that Su Xiaofei hadn't gotten over Mo Yuchen yet? Ye Mingyu couldn't wait to see Su Xiaofei's infuriated look once she saw that the man she loved the most chose her, Ye Mingyu, over her.
Finally, Mo Yuchen hung up the phone and swiveled around to face her. Even when seated, his entire body emanated authority. The dark tailored suit he was wearing only emphasized his charm as a man, making him more pleasing to a woman's eyes.
Ye Mingyu shivered as his gaze brushed over her. She could feel an aura of deep hatred coming from him at this very moment. Did something happen? She wondered. She had been very careful with her words whenever she talked to him, just in case he might do something out of her expectations.
"So, what brings you here again, Miss Ye?" His voice was a steely baritone, which could pressure anyone to give him an immediate answer.
Ye Mingyu cleared her throat and shivered hard under his cold gaze. Something about the way he looked at her made her wary of him. Her instincts were telling her to run for her dear life, but her legs and feet were frozen in place.
"I came to ask if you could help me get the role I wanted." She asked shamelessly, knowing that Mo Yuchen wouldn't easily deny her wishes. He had a powerful background in showbiz and had been generous to her so far.
She was confident that with the information she had about Mo Yuchen, she had a firm hold on him. It would have been better if he could also fall under her charm and marry her. Not only would her status be elevated, but she would also gain an edge against Su Xiaofei.
"Then, does Miss Ye think she's worthy of it?" Mo Yuchen asked with a hint of contemplation in his eyes.
Ye Mingyu inwardly frowned. Mo Yuchen had never questioned her like this before. If she asked something, he would summon his assistant to immediately prepare it. She didn't even care if his relationship with Huang Jingjing were broken, because she knew very well that there wasn't any emotional attachment between the two as their supposed union was merely based on business.
"I'll do my best to be worthy of it. Your assistance wouldn't be put to waste.." She replied confidently.
