Lin Xiaoman became even more uneasy: “I’m not interested in matters outside of work.”
“You will be interested,” Ji Zhixian took two steps closer to her, his deep-as-a-pool eyes reflecting Lin Xiaoman’s charming appearance, “I can help you enter the finals.”
Lin Xiaoman looked up at him, her expression slightly softening. If Ji Zhixian knew her identity, he certainly wouldn’t say such things.
“Agree to my conditions, and I’ll make you famous in the entertainment industry,” Ji Zhixian’s tone was confident and certain.
“Oh?” Lin Xiaoman raised her guard, “I’m penniless, just eliminated from your program, with nothing more than a bit of beauty. What kind of matter would make President Ji offer such generous conditions?”
This was a tone and demeanor Ji Zhixian was extremely familiar with. He looked at her and was momentarily stunned: “You’re very clear about your own situation.”
“People often praise me like this,” she blinked and laughed, “So I know very well that I can’t fulfill the conditions you’re proposing. So, please find someone else.”
“Are you planning to go back and get married?” Ji Zhixian challenged.
It seemed he had heard her previous remarks.
Lin Xiaoman disliked his attitude and retorted, “Are there no other shows besides ‘Create an Idol’?”
“But no show can make you famous as quickly as ‘Create an Idol’.”
Though arrogant, what Ji Zhixian said was true.
There had been reality shows before, but none had caused such a sensation or become as widely known as ‘Create an Idol’.
Lin Xiaoman, who had been in the entertainment industry for years, naturally knew that opportunities were rare, and it would be fake to say she wasn’t tempted.
She looked up at Ji Zhixian again: “What are the conditions?”
Lin Xiaoman was clear that someone like Ji Zhixian, who hated doing useless work, would not suddenly become charitable. His conditions were likely to be extremely harsh.
“Be my kept woman,” Ji Zhixian’s tone was unusually flat, as if he was casually inviting her out for a meal.
This answer was not in her mental preparation.
Lin Xiaoman’s brow furrowed.
