Chapter 125 - Conversation under the mysterious veil

In the bustling city of Shanghai, the skyscrapers of Yanxiang Entertainment stand tall in the sky. Xia Huaile, a newly signed rising star, is taking a mysterious woman, Xia Zhuozhuo, into this palace full of dreams and challenges. Xia Zhuozhuo, a woman whose identity is a mystery, never personally gets involved in the various companies of the dark department, but hides behind the scenes and controls everything. The outside world only knows that these companies belong to a mysterious person named "Mosquito", but in fact, the real owner of these companies is Xia Zhuozhuo. There is a subtle symbiotic relationship between her and "Mosquito", they support each other and advance and retreat together. Today, Xia Zhuozhuo took the opportunity to visit Xia Huaile's new company to meet this mysterious "Mosquito". And Xia Huaile, who seemed to have seen through her thoughts, took the initiative to bring her to Yanxiang Entertainment. "Xiao Qi, you are really my lucky star. You said that there might be a company that would hire me, but I didn't expect that a company would actually offer me an olive branch. I want to take you to see my new starting point." Xia Huaile's face was full of smiles, and his eyes were full of longing for the future. Xia Zhuozhuo smiled slightly and agreed happily. She knew that this meeting was not only to satisfy her curiosity, but also to confirm whether "Mosquito" was trustworthy. After arriving at Yanxiang Entertainment, Xia Huaile was immediately surrounded by a busy schedule. He needed to take image photos to prepare for the upcoming promotional activities. And Xia Zhuozhuo became his strongest backing, helping him keep his mobile phone and handling all trivial matters. At this moment, a strange phone call broke the silence. A cold and arrogant voice came from the other end of the phone: "Who are you?" Xia Zhuozhuo frowned, she didn't know the owner of this number. But out of politeness, she patiently explained: "I am Xia Zhuozhuo, the owner of this mobile phone number is my brother. May I ask who you are?" The person on the other end of the phone was obviously not satisfied with Xia Zhuozhuo's answer, and her voice became even colder: "Xia Zhuozhuo? As far as I know, Xia Huaile's sister's name is Xia Liuli, where did you come from?" Xia Zhuozhuo's heart trembled, she realized that the person on the other end of the phone might be an enemy with Xia Huaile. But she did not show any panic, but responded calmly: "You haven't answered me yet, who are you." The person on the other end of the phone sneered: "Just based on you, you are worthy of knowing who I am? Give the phone to Xia Huaile immediately, otherwise I will make you pay for it!" Hearing this, Xia Zhuozhuo had guessed the other party's identity. She smiled faintly and said, "You are Miss Si, right? Miss Si, you are of noble status. Don't you feel that you are lowering your status by doing such a dirty thing of revenge when you can't get what you want? If it gets out, aren't you afraid of smearing the Si family?" The person on the other end of the phone was obviously angered by Xia Zhuozhuo's words. She shouted angrily, "Who are you! You are not worthy of saying such things to me!" But Xia Zhuozhuo ignored her anger and continued to say calmly, "Miss Si, I have one last piece of advice for you. It's best for you and my third brother to keep out of each other's way in the future. I can pretend that nothing happened about the past. But if you dare to pester my brother again in the future, I will not let you go." After saying that, Xia Zhuozhuo hung up the phone without hesitation. On the other end of the phone, Si Jueyu was so angry that she jumped up and down, but her anger was just an insignificant farce to Xia Zhuozhuo. Xia Zhuozhuo put the phone back into Xia Huaile's coat pocket, as if nothing had happened. She knew that since Xia Huaile had signed a contract with Yanxiang, Si Jueyu could no longer touch him. And she would not be afraid of Si Jueyu's threats. Soon, Xia Huaile's image photo was taken. Next, he will start recording an interview video. Xia Zhuozhu took this opportunity to quietly leave the studio and walk towards the elevator. She had already made an appointment with "Mosquito" to meet in the office in advance. The elevator door slowly closed, but just as it was about to close, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice shouted: "Wait a minute!" Xia Zhuozhu's heart tightened. She didn't want anyone to notice that she went to the eighth floor. But she still stopped and looked back. She saw a thin and haggard man running hurriedly. When Xia Zhuozhu saw the man's face clearly, she couldn't help but be stunned. That person was Xia Huaile's former agent-He Xidong. He had been fired by Sixiang, but he didn't expect to appear here. He Xidong also saw Xia Zhuozhu, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. But soon, he retracted his gaze and pretended not to see her. Xia Zhuozhuo ignored him and stared at the elevator display screen without looking away. The elevator door opened again, and He Xidong pressed the button for the third floor. When the elevator reached the third floor, he hurried out. Xia Zhuozhuo saw through the gap in the elevator that the third floor was full of people, as if they were here for an interview. After arriving at the eighth floor, Xia Zhuozhuo met "Mosquito". He was a gentle middle-aged man with a kind smile on his face. Xia Zhuozhuo asked him about He Xidong, and "Mosquito" told her that the company was recruiting new employees today and He Xidong was here for an interview. Xia Zhuozhuo was not surprised to hear the news. She knew that Yanxiang was going to go higher and higher, and more and more talents were needed. But she also believed that "Mosquito" and Yanxiang's human resources department had a keen insight, and people like He Xidong would not be able to pass the interview. "Mosquito" prepared a cup of cappuccino for Xia Zhuozhuo, with milk foam on it. Xia Zhuozhuo took a sip, and the mellow aroma of coffee and milk intertwined, intoxicating. "It tastes good." Xia Zhuozhuo praised sincerely. "Mosquito" heard this and showed a satisfied smile on his face. He knew that Xia Zhuozhuo was not only a mysterious and powerful woman, but also a person who knew how to appreciate life. In the office of "Mosquito", Xia Zhuozhuo talked with him about future plans and visions. She believed that under the leadership of "Mosquito", Yanxiang Entertainment would definitely get better and better. And she will continue to hide behind the scenes to escort the future of Xia Huaile and Yanxiang. At the same time, in the interview room on the third floor, He Xidong was answering questions from the interviewer. His eyes flashed with desire and uneasiness. He knew that this interview was crucial to him. But he also knew that his past might become a stumbling block to his progress. However, no matter what the result, He Xidong was ready. He believes that as long as he works hard, there will be rewards. In this city full of opportunities and challenges, he will continue to pursue his dreams and future. And the story of Xia Zhuozhuo and Xia Huaile will continue to be staged on the stage of Yanxiang Entertainment. They will continue to move forward hand in hand and write their legendary chapters together. "If you like it, that's the best. Master Le..." Xia Zhuozhuo opened his red lips lightly, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "It's better to call him by his name, so as not to make it difficult to change it in the future." The person next to him nodded slightly, with a hint of respect in his voice: "Yes, President Xia. The company will announce the lineup of new stars signed this time in the afternoon, and Xia Huaile is also among them. We will do our best to push them to the public eye in the most dazzling manner." Xia Zhuozhuo nodded gently, with an unquestionable firmness flashing in his eyes "I want him to quickly become one of the top stars and become the focus of everyone's attention." The other party hesitated a little, as if he had some concerns: "I will do my best to pave the best way for him, but whether he can become popular is ultimately a mystery and elusive." Xia Zhuozhuo raised a confident arc at the corner of his mouth: "He is born with the potential to become popular. You just need to wait and see. I will not let you down." "Okay, I will do my best to help." The other party responded, his tone full of determination. Xia Zhuozhuo took a sip of coffee and changed the subject: "Let's talk about my second brother, Xia Huaicheng. He has suffered repeated setbacks in the investment field. I hope you can lend a hand and give him a helping hand." "Xia Huaicheng?" The other party was surprised when he heard this, "He is my college classmate, a leader in the past, with outstanding achievements and unique vision. How could he... fail repeatedly?" Xia Zhuozhuo was also surprised: "You didn't know he was my second brother? He was a celebrity on campus, and he topped every exam. He won the championship of the College Student Entrepreneurship Competition before graduation, and he was in great glory." The other party couldn't help but sigh with emotion when he heard this: "It's really unpredictable. The former celebrity is now in trouble." Xia Zhuozhuo looked solemn, and he had already known in his heart that all this was because someone was secretly obstructing him. Recalling that not long ago, a project partner of Xia Huaicheng suddenly withdrew his investment, he was anxious. It was Xia Zhuozhuo who secretly sent Guzi to inject funds into Xia Huaicheng, which enabled his amusement park project to proceed smoothly. However, they have not yet found out who the mastermind behind the scenes is. They only know that Xia Huaicheng's failure was not accidental, but someone deliberately did it. Xia Zhuozhuo told the other party everything he knew. After hearing it, the other party couldn't help but sighed: "So that's it! He also suffered similar suppression as me. I was forced to give up my position because I had no backing, but what was his reason?" Xia Zhuozhuo pondered for a moment and said: "I guess he accidentally violated the interests of some people. Since you are his college classmate, do you know if he had any grudges with anyone during his time at school?" The other party shook his head, his expression full of doubts: "He has a gentle temperament, treats people kindly, and has never had a dispute with anyone. There is no love rival, because he has always had a stable girlfriend, and it is said that they have been in love since high school." "Girlfriend?" Xia Zhuozhuo's heart surged with a wave of emotion when he heard this. The Xia family knew nothing about this. Apparently, this mysterious girlfriend was not accepted by the family. The other party nodded and continued: "However, I am not familiar with her, and she is not a student of our school. But one of my roommates knows her and may be able to help you find her contact information." Hearing this, Xia Zhuozhuo's eyes flashed with expectation: "Then thank you. If I can know her address, it will be icing on the cake." "Don't worry, I will definitely ask for you within today." The other party patted his chest and promised. Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Xia Zhuozhuo should go downstairs. The other party stood up to send her off, but was politely refused by Xia Zhuozhuo: "No need, so as not to arouse suspicion." After that, Xia Zhuozhuo called his trusted assistant and instructed: "You send Miss Xia downstairs. If anyone asks, just say that she got lost and happened to meet you, and you send her to find her third brother." The assistant answered and held the elevator door for Xia Zhuozhuo. Xia Zhuozhuo nodded slightly and stepped into the elevator. However, the elevator did not go directly to the first floor, but slowly stopped on the third floor. The elevator door slowly opened, and Xia Zhuozhuo unexpectedly met He Xidong. His eyes wandered between Xia Zhuozhuo and the assistant, and finally fixed on Xia Zhuozhuo. He did not know the assistant, but he was impressed by Xia Zhuozhuo. Seeing Xia Zhuozhuo looking at him calmly, He Xidong's already gloomy face became even uglier. The elevator slowly descended, and he finally couldn't stand it anymore, and asked: "You are the one who did all this, right?" Xia Zhuozhuo heard this, and a sneer appeared on his lips, his eyes full of sarcasm: "Are you talking to me? Just based on you, you are not worthy of me to take the trouble to target you." He Xidong heard this, his eyes widened, and there seemed to be a burning anger in his eyes: "If you hadn't interfered, how could I be rejected in less than a minute of the interview? Don't quibble!" Xia Zhuozhuo shook his head gently, his tone full of contempt: "If you are really talented, why should you be afraid of being suppressed by others? It's ridiculous to blame others for your own lack of ability." He Xidong's face turned pale, and his fists clenched, as if he wanted to punch him. However, the elevator door slowly opened, and Xia Zhuozhuo stepped out, leaving only a cold back.
