Chapter 218: Chapter 221 His Leading Lady_1

"Hmm... gossip about Moli?" Yang Gang looked rather perplexed.

Based on his understanding of Moli, she was a woman known for her self-restraint and steering clear of scandals. As a woman, this was a commendable trait. However, as a celebrity in the entertainment industry, this character trait wasn’t quite suitable.

In this entertainment industry, where ’the more scandals you have, the more famous you become,’ maintaining one’s purity and steering clear of scandals is a form of a self-destructive act.

"I heard that Moli’s recent disappearance isn’t because she’s writing new songs, but rather..." Tong Xin paused before continuing: "rather, she’s been kept as a mistress."

"Kept as a mistress?" Yang Gang appeared taken aback.

Tong Xin nodded: "Someone saw an older man entering her apartment and not leaving until the next day."

"Hmm... That’s interesting," Yang Gang said, suddenly intrigued, "Who’s the man?"

"I’m not sure," Tong Xin replied.

Yang Gang’s eyes shone with keen interest, lost in thought.

Murong Liuli, observing Yang Gang, commented lightly: "Young Master Yang, you seem especially fond of ’bad’ women."

Yang Gang chuckled: "I like ’bad’ women because their decadent aura is incredibly charming. Positive and energetic stars like Yue Jiayi aren’t my type."

This comment caused both Tong Xin and Murong Liuli to raise their eyebrows.

Yang Gang laughed off their response: "Just kidding. In this hypocritical entertainment business where everyone pretends to be good, I feel the authenticity of ’bad’ women is more heart-stirring."

Just then, a sophisticated lady stepped out of a BMW that had pulled up.

It was none other than Gu Xiaorou.

Upon seeing Gu Xiaorou, Tong Xin’s face soured somewhat.

In contrast to her imagined rival, Murong Liuli, Gu Xiaorou was a formidable love rival in reality, a final-boss-level adversary.

Tong Xin, glancing at Gu Xiaorou’s prominent bosom, felt a wave of depression washing over her.

Just like Gu Xiaorou felt powerless against Yang Fei, Tong Xin felt the same in front of Gu Xiaorou.

Despite her petite chest, this young lady was not lacking in emotional intelligence.

She could sense an ambiguous relationship between Gu Xiaorou and Yang Gang. Furthermore, she could tell that Yang Gang treated Gu Xiaorou differently from other women.

"Perhaps, in Yang Gang’s heart, only Gu Xiaorou is his leading lady, and other women—including myself, Xia Zihan, Lin Qingyu, Murong Liuli, and so on—are just supporting characters," she thought to herself.

...

As Gu Xiaorou looked at Murong Liuli, her mood remained relatively calm.

While this woman was stunning, she still fell short in comparison to the devastatingly beautiful Sister Xiaoxi.

More importantly, even the most flirtatious man would have his limits in terms of emotional capacity. Gu Xiaorou knew that in Yang Gang’s heart, Sister Xiaoxi and Yang Fei took up most of the space, leaving very little room for other women. One could even say that aside from Sister Xiaoxi and Yang Fei, Yang Gang probably wouldn’t fall in love with a third woman.

"Is Yang going to choose between Sister Xiaoxi and Yang Fei?" Gu Xiaorou couldn’t help but feel a twinge of resentment and helplessness.

With a self-mocking smile, Gu Xiaorou collected her emotions and turned to Murong Liuli: "Are you Miss Murong?"

Before returning to Hangcheng, Yang Gang had told Gu Xiaorou that he would be bringing Liuli back.

The decision baffled Yang Gang himself. He felt as though he didn’t want Gu Xiaorou to misunderstand, so he deemed it necessary to explain the situation to her in advance.

But hold on! He and Gu Xiaorou were just friends. Why was he behaving this way?!

...

"Yes. May I ask who you are?" Murong Liuli replied cautiously.

Murong Liuli, who possessed greater emotional intelligence than Tong Xin, felt a vague sensation that Yang Gang’s relationship with this woman was somewhat... ambivalent.

"Oh, my name is Gu Xiaorou. I’m Yang Gang’s special assistant," Gu Xiaorou responded calmly.

Yang Gang broke out into a cold sweat, thinking to himself: "Gu Xiaorou seems exceptionally adept at assigning titles to herself."

"Oh, nice to meet you," Murong Liuli responded hurriedly.

The boss’s special assistant might become her direct superior in the future. Professional rule number one: "Always respect your superiors, at least on the surface."

It seemed like Gu Xiaorou quite liked Murong Liuli. She smiled and said: "Miss Murong..."

"Just call me Liuli," Murong Liuli said respectfully to Gu Xiaorou.

"Eh, Liuli, how much salary did Young Master Yang offer you?" Gu Xiaorou asked with a chuckle.

Scratching her head, Murong Liuli answered: "Free lodging and food, basic salary of 2000 Yuan, and a 10% commission."

Gu Xiaorou’s face darkened instantly. She turned to Yang Gang: "Capitalist, so heartless! Yang Gang, you can actually offer such a contract that exploits laborers to such a great extent?"

Yang Gang’s lips twitched a bit before he calmly replied: "A basic salary of 2000 is indeed a bit low for a celebrity. But there’s also a 10% commission. If Liuli takes up a million-Yuan advertisement, the commission alone would be 100,000. Plus, there’s a bonus at the end of the year. Let’s say in the future, a movie starring her becomes a blockbuster, and the company makes a billion Yuan; Liuli would get a share of 100 million. That’s not a small sum, is it?"

Bristling with indignation, Gu Xiaorou glared at Yang Gang: "Yang Gang! Don’t try to fool Liuli! This newcomer, no matter how extraordinarily talented, would need at least two to three years to make a name for herself in this industry. Considering the current status of Yang Family Agency, if Liuli were to land an advertisement in the next three years, that would already be a significant breakthrough. As for starring in a movie... let’s not even think about it for now."

Yang Gang’s mouth twitched: "Miss Gu, honesty can hurt feelings."

Feeling a little unsure, Murong Liuli asked: "Um, so is our agency really that bad?"

"May I ask Young Master Yang?" Gu Xiaorou turned, directing the question towards him.

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Yang Gang cleared his throat and answered: "It’s not too bad. In the five years since the agency was established, we’ve landed at least five adverts and more than 10 program appearances. We’ve also been invited to include our artists in movies, although only as extras."

It was a miracle for an agency, which on average landed only one advertisement a year, to survive five years. Indeed, it deserved being an agency under the Top Ten families of Hangcheng.

Murong Liuli felt an overwhelming urge to make sarcastic comments.

Yang Gang gave Murong Liuli a glance, then said: "Liuli, although our agency is indeed subpar, I will keep my promise to you. There may be some difficulties in the initial stages, but I believe that we will create miracles."

"Yes, Young Master Yang, I will put in my best effort," said Murong Liuli quietly.

"Let’s head to the agency now, your manager is already waiting there. She’s also new to the business, so it’ll be good practice for both of you," said Yang Gang, smiling.

Murong Liuli looked surprised: "Young Master Yang has already found a manager for me?"

Yang Gang nodded and glanced at the time: "She should be at the agency now. Liuli, you can ride with Tong Xin. I’ll be with Miss Gu."

Tong Xin pouted slightly but said nothing.

Opening the door to the BMW, Yang Gang got into the driver’s seat, while Gu Xiaorou slid into the passenger seat.

She blinked her large eyes, her curious nature taking over: "Yang, who did you choose to be Liuli’s manager?"
