ETERNAL LOVE : A LOVE STORY Chapter 178 - That girl is a vixen.

After the authentic lunch, everyone moved to the living room where they were having tea to digest the food.

In the living room, Xie Ming asked Mother Jin, " Mother, is it fine for brother to accompany us for the shopping? I mean he is a celebrity and it might not be a good idea for him to go such a crowded place." she asked worriedly.

When Mother Jin heard about it, she realized that she indeed forgot that her son was a celebrity and its not suitable for him to go to the mall with them. 

Because he will attract the attention of many people and then they won't be able to shop properly or it might create scandals.

Mother Jin looked at Liang worriedly and waiting for him to say something. 

Liang who was drinking his chocolate shake as he was not much fond of tea, looked up at his mother and said, " It's okay. I can go. I will use a disguise, there won't be any problem." he said casually.

Mother Jin relaxed hearing his words.

 Because it's not always that he accompany her to somewhere, and she wants to spend time with her son too.

But Xie Ming was still worried about going shopping with him. She could only sigh and hope that her shopping plan won't be ruined in the end. 

She took a sip of her tea when her phone rang. 

She looked at the name on the screen. Her eyebrows raised in surprise. 

It was Tang Nian. 

She was going to stand up and wanted to pick the call somewhere else as she does not want to disturb everyone. 

But Mother Jin gestured her to pick up the call while sitting.

She smiled and swiped right on her phone. 

" Hello." Xie Ming spoke as soon she picked up the call.

" Ms. Xie Ming, Tang Nian this side. I called you to ask when you will be free to sign the contract. You remember right?" 

" Yes. I remember. You said that you will sign me under Global World if I pass the audition." Xie Ming smiled.

" That's right. I knew that you would pass the audition and my senses were right. Congratulations on that. "

" Thank You. I should give you the credit for it. If not for you, I wouldn't have thought about giving it a chance. " 

" No no. It's all because you're talented. Okay, now let's talk about the contract. I have the contract ready, will you be fine tomorrow for signing? "

Xie Ming thought for a while and spoke, " Okay. I am fine with it. "

" Then that's final. Come to my office at 11 am and then we can discuss the contract and then you can sign it. "

" Okay. I'll be at the time. " 

" Then I'll send you the soft copy of the contract for you to read and then you can tell if you want to add something." At that time, someone knocked on Tang Nian's office door, she looked up and it was Chen Xi on the door.

She signaled her to come in while talking on the phone with Xie Ming.

"Xie Ming I have to hang up now, Later I'll send you the soft copy of the contract through the mail. Read it thoroughly. See you tomorrow. Bye." Tang Nian said before hanging up the phone.

" Okay. Bye. " Xie Ming said and hang up the phone.

When the call ended Xie Ming looked up and saw everyone's curious gazes. 

" Was it Tang Nian? What did she say? " it was Jin Laing who asked this question. 

" She asked me to come tomorrow and sign the contract. So after signing the contract, I would officially be the artist under Global World," she said with a smile. 

Jin Liang looked at her," Hm then you will become my colleague and a Junior." he smiled mischievously. 

" Don't worry. I will not let you bully by other artists. I am a very kind person. I don't bully my juniors and don't hesitate to help them " he said while hitting his chest with pride.

Xie Ming smiled awkwardly. She couldn't say anything seeing his bold response. 

Father Jin shook his head helplessly and looked at Xie Ming to understand his brazen son and don't mind his words.

' I can't do anything with this child.' 

Xie Ming smiled at Father Jin understandingly.

Tang Nian's Office.

When Tang Nian was on the phone, Chen Xi entered into the office with some files in her hands.

She heard Tang Nian's conversation with Xie Ming and her eyes narrowed listening to the contents of the conversation.

' Contract? What contract? And is it the same girl I am thinking?' She thought inwardly.

She was on the leave for past days and only today she rejoined the work so she was oblivious of the things that happened in the past few days.

She remembered a girl called Xie Ming who came for the audition last time and with whom she argued. She was angered to death by that girl.

Xie Ming not only insulted her but also ignored her and Xiao Yao, the guy she likes, seems to like that girl as well.

She thought that Xie Ming didn't pass the interview and was very pleased with it. 

'But about what contract Tang Nian is talking about?' she wondered while holding the files in her hands.

After hanging up the call, Tang Nian looked at Chen Xi who was in a daze and called out for her, " Chen Xi?"

She got out of her stupor and looked at Tang Nian with startled expression, " Yes..."

Tang Nian looked at Chen Xi and narrowed her eyes, " Do you have something to say?"

" What were you talking about on the phone just now?" she asked bluntly.

Tang Nian looked at her and frowned. " Did you come here to ask me about it?" she asked sharply.

Seeing the icy cold expression of Tang Nian, she realized that she had something wrong. Tang Nian does not like people who do gossips and talk about unnecessary things in the office.

And Chen Xi hates her for pretending to be high and mighty but she can't do anything about it as she was her boss.

Chen Xi inhaled and spoke after calming her emotions, " Oh. I needed your signature on these documents." She said while passing her a few files in her hands.

Tang Nian took the files and placed them on her desk, " You can go now. I will call you after I am done reading and signing them." she said plainly.

Chen Xi looked at her disappointedly. 

She wanted to know what she was talking on the phone. But she didn't reply to her question.

" Chen Xi" as she turned around to leave, Tang Nian called out to her.

She turned around and looked at Tang Nian.

" Ask Xiao Yao to mail Xie Ming her contract. No wait, tell him to come in first, I'll talk to him myself." Tang Nian said while reading the documents given by Chen Xi.

Chen Xi looked at her in bewilderment.

" You're talking about the Xie Ming who came for the interview last time for an internship, right?" Chen Xi couldn't hold her wonder and asked directly.

Tang Nian raised her head from the documents and stared at her blankly and replied, " Yes. We're signing her as an artist under Global World."

Chen Xi froze on the spot. Her expressions darkened as she stared at Tang Nian with displeased expression.

Tang Nian looked at her and asked seeing her expression, " Anything wrong?" 

Chen Xi couldn't hold herself and said, " How can you sign her as an artist under Global World? That girl is nothing but a pretty face. From when Global World started to hire artists based on their looks only? Or does that girl have a sugar daddy for you to hire without any talent and experience?" 

Chen Xi was enraged that the girl she thought has failed the interview for an intern, was going to be an artist under Global World.

Originally, she wanted to be an actress, but her father didn't allow her to enter the entertainment industry. Instead, he gets her an internship in Global World, so that she could learn the work and see herself how tough this industry is. 

Chen Xi knows how tough and noticeable it is to sign under the Global World as an artist but an amateur and the untalented girl like is going to be signed as an artist. She can't help but think that something suspicious.

Tang Nian stared at Chen Xi with a blank face, as if she has expected such reactions from her. She looked at her and asked, " Chen Xi, you know how much I hate when people use their connections to enter the company. Do you think I will hire someone like that myself?" she asked sarcastically.

Chen Xi could sense the sarcasm in her tone and she knows that Tang Nian doesn't like her as she entered into the company without an interview and because of her connections and her father.

Tang Nian continued, " I gave Xie Ming the script of Director Han's movie for an audition as a test and she passed that audition. That's why I am hiring her. And you know that if she passed the audition for the second lead role of director Han's movie, then she must be talented. Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen her for the role."

" And for your kind information, having a pretty face is also taken as a talent in the entertainment industry. Though acting skills are needed but physical appearance and pretty face are also essential as well in this industry. That's why this industry is more ruthless and glamorous."

" Now go and send Xiao Yao in," she said coldly and turned her attention on the documents.

Chen Xi's expression blackened. She knows that Tang Nian was mocking her. Though Chen Xi is beautiful but she knows that she is lacking in front of Xie Ming's natural beauty.

Annoyed by Tang Nian's words she turned around and went outside.

' She must have seduced the director or have played some tricks. That girl is such a vixen. She seduced Xiao Yao when she came here the last time and now the director. Disgusting.' she went outside while raging in frustration.
