After entering the office, Xia Xingcheng chuckled and said directly without any fear: "I am a new agent here. I need some files, so I need your signature."

Xia Xingcheng did not mention anything else. As to why she said so, her intuition told her that Zhou Daiwei must be afraid of the new employees. After all, he knew that the man behind the company was the real boss now.

Indeed, as expected, after Xia Xingcheng finished her sentence, Zhou Daiwei paused a little and lost his momentum a lot.

Xia Xingcheng sat down in the office chair nearby directly, crossing her legs like a boss.

"Please." Xia Xingcheng snorted scornfully and placed the file in front of Zhou Daiwei.

Zhou Daiwei was already full of anger when his action was interrupted, and now he was even angrier to see the new agent behaving like this. However, he was now preoccupied with Gu Xingxi. So, he could only hold back and sign directly without looking at the contents of the document.

Xia Xingcheng was satisfied immediately, and with a smile of triumph in her eyes, she said, "Thank you then."

Having said that, Xia Xingcheng did not hurry away, but sat on the sofa and looked through the document leisurely.

Zhou Daiwei became furious right away: "Do you have anything else? If not, get out of my sight."

He was used to being hubris in the company because of his relation with Sheng Chenfeng. At this time, he had already pulled back for the fear of Xia Xingcheng, otherwise he would have already used force.

Xia Xingcheng gave a careless smile and said with a good temper, "Okay, I'll get out of here now."

After saying that, Xia Xingcheng stood up and was about to leave. Gu Xingxi stood there, and his face was paled even more. If it wasn't for this woman barging in just now, maybe he would batter Zhou Daiwei to death on impulse. Now she was leaving, and his nightmare would continue?

As he was thinking of that, Xia Xingcheng stopped halfway and looked at Gu Xingxi, "Why aren't you moving? Follow me."

Gu Xingxi was stunned, he just stood there with no reaction. Even Zhou Daiwei was stunned too.

"What do you mean by that?" Zhou Daiwei asked and gnashed his teeth in anger.

Xia Xingcheng smiled innocently at once: "You are really stupid. Didn't I tell you already? I am Xia Xingcheng, the newly appointed agent from above. And I will take charge of Gu Xingxi from now on!"

Zhou Daiwei was shocked when he heard this. He looked at Xia Xingcheng angrily: "Impossible. Everyone knows Gu Xingxi is mine. Who the hell are you?"

Hearing this, Xia Xingcheng couldn't help laughing: "Nothing is impossible. Because I said so. Didn't you read the document you just signed?"

Then Xia Xingcheng threw the document to Zhou Daiwei with a smile of triumph.

Zhou Daiwei was vexed by her convincing look, and could not help but take a suspicious look at the document.

Reading the document made Zhou Daiwei furious. He threw it on the table in anger.

"Xia Xingcheng, you tricked me?" Zhou Daiwei’s eyes were about to burst into flames.

What written in the document was a mandate of agreeing to assign Gu Xingxi to another agent. It was all because he was careless and did not read it carefully.

"I don't know what you’re talking about. When did I trick you?" Xia Xingcheng couldn't help looking at Zhou Daiwei as if she was looking at a moron. She said with laughter, "You signed the document yourself, didn't you? Am I to blame for you not reading it?"

Zhou Daiwei was choked for a moment. She didn’t. He was just too careless.

Even if he signed it, so what? He already set his eyes on Gu Xingxi, so how could he allow a little girl to step on his toes?

Thinking of that, Zhou Daiwei could not help repressing his anger and coaxed Xia Xingcheng, "Miss Xia, you must know that Gu Xingxi has been with me for a long time. There was a contract in black and white before. It is not right for you to come here and snatch him away."

In fact, it was only a strategy of appeasement for Zhou Daiwei to lower his position and say so. After he sent this Xia Xingcheng away, he would certainly deal with Gu Xingxi later.

Xia Xingcheng squinted her eyes dangerously, and guessed his thoughts. She sneered: "Zhou Daiwei, what you said has nothing to do with me. It's a decision from above. You can ask if you don't believe me."

"If there’s nothing else, I'll take Gu Xingxi with me and go now."

After saying that, Xia Xingcheng tried to pull Gu Xingxi away. But she was stopped by Zhou Daiwei whose face darkened: "Wait, it is not settled yet, I have to ask and clarify. You just wait."

Xia Xingcheng nodded noncommittally, reached out her hand and signaled Zhou Daiwei to go ahead. Then she swayed back to the sofa leisurely and sat down.

Xia Xingcheng poured a cup of tea and sipped on it. Then she suddenly saw the blood on Gu Xingxi’s palm with a glance from the corner of her eyes. She frowned slightly.

She took some gauze out of her purse and threw it to Gu Xingxi, saying helplessly, "Hurry up and stop the bleeding."

Gu Xingxi caught it unconsciously. At this time he just found out that his palm had bled a lot. It seemed that he had just broken the glass and scratched his palm in anger.

With a grateful smile to Xia Xingcheng, Gu Xingxi said nothing but hastily put the gauze on his hand. His whole attention had been focused on Zhou Daiwei.

Gu Xingxi was very nervous. This might be his only chance to get rid of Zhou Daiwei.

‘However, who is this woman? Can she really pull this off?’

Meanwhile, Zhou Daiwei was on the phone secretly.

Xia Xingcheng couldn't help eavesdropping with curiosity. It would also be nice to hear how Zhou Daiwei got scolded.

Zhou Daiwei was talking to someone on the other end of the call: "Manager, Gu Xingxi has signed a two-year contract, which is only half a year away. If you change it now, isn’t it compliant with the regulation?"

"There's nothing incompliant with the regulation. He’s just a young actor. Let the new agent take him. We will sign new talents in the future. When the time comes, there will be more talents for you to manage." The manager on the other end of the call said.

Hearing the manager wouldn’t budge, Zhou Daiwei got his face a little pale. He could only turn to circuitous tactics and said: "Manager, you see, I have been managing Gu Xingxi for so long now; we have been bounded, and I can't bear to let him go, so..."

Before Zhou Daiwei could finish, the manager on the other end of the call bluntly interrupted: "Say no more. This is a decision from above. There’s nothing you can say to change it. This is final decision. Say no more!"

Having said that, the manager hung up the phone directly without giving Zhou Daiwei any chance to speak again.
