Chapter 45. I heard that you are useless at singing and dancing? (8)

Shi Jiu took Xiaoyao to the crew in the afternoon, exchanged some pleasantries with Director Xu, and after the greeting, Director Xu grabbed Xiaoyao to shoot.

She was idle and bored, so she found a relatively clean place and squatted down to play games.

At the critical moment of the decisive battle, a sharp female voice suddenly came from next to her ear: "Hey, isn't this our sister Jiaojiao, shouldn't you be following your movie star now? Why did you come to this crew to play games? It's just a game, it's so stupid, how can it be worth wasting your time on it?"

Shi Jiu was stabbed by the voice, and the game that was supposed to be won was lost.

Her teammates scolded her from the phone, but Shi Jiu shut down the game neatly, stood up, and looked at the other party.

Oh, an old acquaintance.

Chang Xue, Mu Jiaojiao's old acquaintance, was the ace manager of the second largest entertainment company in China. She and Mu Jiaojiao were competitors, and the two had even stepped into this circle around the same time.

However, the company that Chang Xue signed with at that time was originally the number one company in China, while the Star King Entertainment company that Mu Jiaojiao signed with was very inconspicuous.

But later, because of Mu Jiaojiao, Star King Entertainment directly defeated Chang Xue's company, forcing that company to second.

Therefore, Chang Xue has always been displeased with Mu Jiaojiao, and the tension between the two had been accumulating for a long time.

When they were younger, they often tore the other apart verbally in public to the point that their own parents wouldn’t have recognized them.

Now that she was mature, she could only say a few words occasionally, but of course, the words were still not very nice.

"Ah!" Shi Jiu covered her mouth pompously.

"Isn't this our Miss Chang? I haven't seen you for a few days, and you've matured quite a bit!" 

"You're the fucking mature one, I'm still very young." Chang Xue looked at Shi Jiu with heavy eyes, making people suspicious. Would she rush to beat up someone in the next second?

"However could that be, I am one year younger than Miss Chang. No matter how mature I am, I could never be as mature as you."

Chang Xue frowned, Mu Jiaojiao was acting very strange today, she didn’t usually speak like this, did she get possessed by an evil spirit? 

"You couldn’t have gone out of your mind, right? Usually you use direct insults, what's the matter today…"

Shi Jiu smiled with her eyebrows slanted: "It turns out that Miss Chang likes to be insulted. Could it be that if I don't directly insult you for a day, you won't feel comfortable? You should have told me this earlier, I’ll definitely satisfy such a rich client like you.”

Chang Xue snorted coldly, “You are sick.”

Shi Jiu sighed, she was right when she called Chang Xue a wealthy client just now, she was actually a wealthy lady.

Chang Xue, who came from a wealthy family, majored in economics at university, and planned to manage a company as soon as she graduated, but then this kid lost her mind and suddenly decided that she wanted to become an agent in the entertainment industry.

Of course her family disagreed, but Chang Xue was very stubborn, and because she was favored, after a short stalemate, the family agreed, but they didn't open any back doors for her, because they still hoped that she would change her mind.

Maybe Chang Xue was actually born to eat this bowl of rice, because she ended up bringing out several famous artists.

And the reason why Mu Jiaojiao confronted her was because the two had similar personalities, they were both very strong personalities, and neither would give in to the other.

But in all fairness, Chang Xue was not a bad person, just rather arrogant.

Otherwise, based on how favored she was at home, as long as she told the family that someone was bullying her, Mu Jiaojiao, who had no money or power, would have already been forced out of the entertainment industry. 

So now Shi Jiu just sighed, then took her phone back out and continued to play the game. The teammate who scolded her just now, if she didn't steal his kills, her surname would not be Shi.

Chang Xue waited for Shi Jiu to argue with her, but even after waiting for a while, Shi Jiu continued to ignore her and just went back to playing her game.

She was very angry, but she couldn't find a good reason to scold Shi Jiu.

Hearing the passionate music from the mobile phone, Chang Xue struggled for a while, but eventually poked Shi Jiu's arm with her finger.

"What are you doing?"

Shi Jiu raised her head, "Are you short-sighted? You can't see it even when you’re so close? I am playing a game."

"This... What kind of game... I haven't played it yet..." Chang Xue nervously brushed her hair, her tone turning unnatural.

This was the truth. Chang Xue's parents had always been very strict with her since she was a child, and they didn’t let her play games.

After work, it was also very busy.

The only game she had ever played was Doudizhu on WeChat.

[Editor note: Doudizhu, better known as Landlord, is a very popular Chinese card game. It is quite simple to learn, probably on a similar learning level of Go Fish, but to master the game is actually quite difficult. Basically though this is literally the bare minimum of games that Chang Xue could know.]
