But Xia Xingcheng was surprised when she saw the profiles of all the actors and actresses in Stardust Entertainment.

Regardless of men or women, all of them were very pretty, even compared to other entertainment companies. The only thing surprised her was, they have poor talent.

Especially women!

She wanted to manage an actress originally. But as she looked through them, there was no talent there, nothing but only pretty faces.

She thought to herself, the previous CEO was using this company as his personal hunting ground for women.

So Xia Xingcheng had no choice but to look through the files of the actors. ‘You want women but not men, right?’

But she was disappointed at first after she looked through the actors. Some of them were somewhat famous now, but they had no class and were far away from becoming a real star. They all had some scandalous histories, and the chances of reinventing them were very slim.

But finally, Xia Xingcheng spotted an actor who was special.

This actor’s name was Gu Xingxi. Once he acted in a very popular and classic time-travel TV series called “Love Through Time”. He played the secondary leading role in it. And he was very young, only 22 years old. And he was incredibly handsome; it was safe to say that he could charm thousands of girls out there.

Xia Xingcheng was a little confused. An actor like this, even if he had no talent, he could became famous only because his insanely good-looking face. But strangely, he was nobody in this company. What happened here?

Xia Xingcheng thought this actor could be a turning point for the company. So she went online and searched for the TV series he acted in.

She watched the show carefully and she was blown away by him. He was like gold covered with dust. Although his acting was a little green, but with proper training and practice, he could be huge. Why was he buried?

Xia Xingcheng sighed and thought Stardust Entertainment was terrible. It was a total waste for them to bury a great talent like Gu Xingxi. His agent must be an idiot!

Maybe the agent and the previous CEO were the same.

After cursing them, Xia Xingcheng decided she wants to manage this actor.

But sometimes it was the company's decision to assign agents. She couldn’t help but worry, how could she convince the company to do that, especially when she was a new agent?

She was worrying by herself. This was a great opportunity. She had to find a way to seize it.

…

Meanwhile, at Sheng's Group.

Sheng Yeting was working when his assistant came in to give a report on Stardust Entertainment.

At the time, he remembered he did ask his assistant to give him a personnel list of Stardust Entertainment.

He read through the files his assistant prepared.

The more he read, the more he frowned. His face darkened terribly.

Stardust Entertainment laid off a lot of people. Sheng Yeting sent a manager there to take over. But about a dozen actors and actresses there had no agent. They needed to hire more agents.

He read through the list, picked out Gu Xingxi’s file and handed it over to his assistant. “Assign this actor to the new agent.”

His assistant was surprised a little. “The new agent, you mean the overseas returnee, Miss Xia?”

Sheng Yeting nodded with no expression on his face. He went on saying: “The rest of them, terminate their contracts if they don't have potentials. As for finding new talents, go to universities and colleges with professional performance courses. There is no shortage of entertainers nowadays.”

Although his assistant was curious about why he paid extra attention to that actor, she didn't dare to ask after she received his order.

She knew it better than anyone. He would not give any reason and explanation.

While she was leaving Sheng Yeting’s office, she couldn't resist her curiosity and took a look at Gu Xingxi’s file. She was wondering why Sheng Yeting cared about trivial things like this.

Sheng Yeting had no idea what his assistant was thinking. He didn't know why he did that just now.

Was he helping Xia Xingcheng? The thought made him laugh a little, but still there was coldness in his eyes.

Let's just say he was helping her. At least they were married.

Thinking of that, Sheng Yeting was relieved.

After a busy day, Sheng Yeting went home from work. He just entered, and then he saw Chen Ma took Bao home with excitement.

Seeing Sheng Yeting, Chen Ma walked to him and greeted him respectfully: “Young master.”

Sheng Yeting nodded with no expression and glanced at Bao.

Chen Ma knew he had questions, so she answered quickly: “I have looked into several kindergartens. I was gonna ask your opinions.”

Xia Xingcheng went downstairs after hearing their conversation. Bao hadn't seen his mother for a day now; he rushed into her arms and greeted her with a lovely voice: “Mommy!”

Chen Ma said: “Madame. All the kindergartens I mentioned are great. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. Which one would you prefer?”

Xia Xingcheng was a little stunned hearing this for the first time. What were the names of the kindergartens she just talked about?

It seemed like she didn't remember the kindergartens’ names. She had no idea which to choose. So she turned and looked at Sheng Yeting uncontrollably and said: “They're all great. What should I do?”

“Then go to the kindergarten called Wanxing.” Sheng Yeting said to Chen Ma directly.

Seeing him choose the kindergarten without hesitation, Xia Xingcheng asked curiously: “Why?”

‘This is for her son, Ok? Why does he not even ask her opinion?”

"The infrastructure and faculty of Wanxing are top notch. And more importantly, my family is the shareholder there." Sheng Yeting said lightly, with a rare hint of smile in his eyes.

Xia Xingcheng was speechless. These were good reasons indeed. So she agreed to it.

Chen Ma saw their interaction; she thought such a scene was warm and soft. And did the young master smile just now?

She remembered that Sheng Yeting had not smiled so happily for a long time!
