Inside, Song Shuhai was wearing a long, purple dress that must have been from a major sponsor. She looked extremely gracious and elegant, highlighting her status.
Lin Che then carried her skirt and walked in. She walked one round before finding her seat which had a number on it. She quickly sat down and the company's staff came over to pour water. She smiled and said thanks.
The company's staff had a rather good impression of her and smiled politely at her.
Lin Che was sipping her water when she heard a small actress looking at her and calling out, "Lin Che, wow! Are we sitting at the same table?"
Lin Che almost spat out her water. She looked at the side and realized there were a few actors from her company. She was confused at how they could attend this annual meeting. One of the small actors named Xiao Qinglang smiled and said, "I just knew that Sister Lin Che would be at this year's annual meeting. People like us don't deserve to come but we still had to beg our agents to get the chance for us to come and see. Sister Lin Che, you're very pretty up close." "Yes. You're not only pretty but you have a specially elegant air about you."
"Sister Lin Che, your roles are especially likable. I think you'll be able to enter the frontlines tomorrow and become a big star."
Lin Che hurriedly said, "No way! How can that be? I'm still far from it."
"Sister Lin Che, you're too modest," someone at the side came over and the whole table began chatting enthusiastically.
Just then, a dark, tutting sound came from behind and suddenly interrupted the group of them.
"Hey, who's that at the front? Aren't you going to make way for Sister Xiaoyuan?"
They turned back to see Xin Xiaoyuan come in. She wore a long, white dress that was a completely different style from Song Shuhai. But as a major star for so many years, she also had an extraordinary aura. Without squinting, her eyes swept across the group of young ladies. She raised her head and continued walking forward.
Lin Che saw that the person who looked like Xin Xiaoyuan's assistant seemed to be full of himself. Her seat just so happened to be blocking Xin Xiaoyuan's way.
The surrounding actors who were just chatting there immediately shut up. They looked at Xin Xiaoyuan and quickly went to greet her as Sister Xiaoyuan. Lin Che looked at her own dress and could only stand up too.
Xin Xiaoyuan looked over and asked her assistant in a boring manner, "Why is it so noisy here?"
The assistant scoffed beside her and said, "Some stray dogs and cats from who-knows-where."
"Really? This annual meeting really invites everybody now."
"Exactly. We shall talk to President Zhang later. We'd better not come here anymore."
Xin Xiaoyuan didn't even look but the assistant glanced at Lin Che before continuing their way. He turned his head away and snorted with his nose.
Lin Che turned back to glare at her. When they finally left, she said to Yu Minmin beside her, "I didn't expect her to be so proud."
Yu Minmin said, "She's jealous of you and is acting like this on purpose for you to see."
"What? What's there to be jealous of me..."
"Jealous of your fame. Although her position is high, she didn't have as much coverage as you this year."
