"Miss Xia, I am Mukai Hisashi. I have admired you for a long time. Today, I take the liberty of inviting you to my car for a chat. I hope you will forgive my abruptness." The man, dressed in a well-fitted dark patterned suit, slightly turned to look at Xinran. 0
 
"Mr. Mukai, you are too kind. It is an honor for Xinqing to meet you." With a faint smile on her face, Xinran carefully observed the man beside her. Is he the person associated with Augus? 0
 
This man named Mukai Hisashi spoke with considerable refinement, perhaps overly polite; he must have Japanese heritage or be a genuine Japanese person. Judging by his attire and demeanor, he exuded an air of nobility, suggesting he was not an ordinary individual. After all, someone worthy of Augus should not be too mediocre. 0
 
"Miss Xia, I often watch your performances and truly enjoy your acting; your skills are top-notch!" 0
 
"Mr. Mukai, you flatter me. My acting pales in comparison to my boyfriend Augus's." 0
 
"Oh? Augus? He is indeed very talented." 0
 
By deliberately mentioning Augus, she did not miss the fleeting look of surprise on Mukai Hisashi's face. He must not have expected her to bring up Augus so quickly, especially since he had not yet gotten to the main topic. What was his purpose in inviting her to his car? Was he trying to pay her off to leave or buy her for the night? Regardless of which it was, she felt a bit tired today and had no intention of playing along! 0
 
If he persisted in his pursuit, she would engage with him more seriously in the future! 0
 
"By the way, Xinran would like to ask what Mr. Mukai's purpose is in inviting me to your car today?" 0
 
"Well, Miss Xia, I am planning to produce a television drama. The script is already prepared; it revolves around palace intrigue. I would like to invite Miss Xia to play the leading female role. Would you consider taking it?" Mukai Hisashi smiled lightly, showcasing the charm of an adult man. 0
 
Xinran was taken aback by Mukai Hisashi's response; he actually wanted to invite her to star as the lead in his investment project for a new drama. Producing a show requires significant funding, which piqued her curiosity about his identity. 0
 
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself properly. I am the Operations Director of Qingtian Group; here is my business card." As he spoke, Mukai Hisashi handed his business card to Xinran. "I personally look forward to this collaboration opportunity with Miss Xia. Our media company under Qingtian Group is currently being prepared and will soon be established. If this collaboration goes well, Sky Media may consider signing Miss Xia as our contract artist in the future." 0
 
 
Mukai Hisashi's words spun rapidly in Xinran's mind. The Qingtian Group held a position of immense power, almost monopolizing the entire business network; it was a mythical entity not only in the business world but also in the eyes of everyone. Its president was equally mysterious, with hardly anyone knowing who truly controlled this group from behind the scenes. No media reporter could hope to obtain even a hint of insider information about this group, let alone gossip about its president. Now, it was actually extending its reach into the media industry. Mukai Hisashi had undoubtedly cast a highly tempting bait to entice her and see if she would take the hook! 0
 
The difference between this bait and what Augus had said was stark. Weighing the option of becoming the lead actress in a film produced by Qingtian against relying on Augus to help her gain fame, she wouldn't be foolish enough not to recognize which was more beneficial for her. Moreover, there was the possibility of becoming a signed artist with Qingtian in the future, which would be a long-awaited opportunity for stardom that every artist yearned for. 0
 
"Mr. Mukai, granting Xinran such a rare opportunity truly leaves me flattered. I wonder why you chose me? Is there something else you need me to agree to?" For instance, to leave Augus and cut ties with him completely? 0
 
"Miss Xia, please don't overthink it. I have no other requests for you to agree to. This is merely an opportunity to become the lead actress in New Drama; I simply admire your acting skills!" A glimmer of depth flashed in Mukai Hisashi's eyes as he spoke sincerely. 0
 
Xinran smiled lightly; her smile seemed to carry a kind of magic that made it hard for anyone to look away. If Mukai Hisashi had demanded that she leave Augus, perhaps she might have chosen to betray Augus and accept this tempting condition. However, because there were no demands, she suddenly became clear-headed. She had known for a long time that opportunities do not fall from the sky without reason; one must give something in return. 0
 
Thus, this enticing opportunity before her was not just a pie falling from the sky; it must be a trap! 0
 
"Mr. Mukai, thank you for your appreciation, but I may have to disappoint you. I'm sorry!" 0
