Chapter 2 for the Sword God of Southern Yue)
```
The middle-aged director named Wang Hua left some impression on Chu Mo; he had seen Wang Hua's film "Annual Rings" in the cinema, and it did well in both box office and critical acclaim. This was a rather talented director.
However, that was all there was to it. In Chu Mo's eyes, even the biggest stars were merely actors, and while Wang Hua was a renowned director, he could still not catch Chu Mo's attention.
Strictly speaking, it was Zhou Weimin, the Chairman of Tianhua Entertainment behind Wang Hua, who had the credentials to sit down with Chu Mo.
Arguing with a character who was nothing more than a chess piece was undeniably beneath Chu Mo, so when the middle-aged man rejected Chu Mo's suggestion with silence, there was no longer any need for him to stay.
Of course, Chu Mo's disdain for argument did not mean he would compromise. What he decided was certainly not something a minor director could refute.
If self-righteous Wang Hua disagreed, then they could simply get Tianhua Entertainment to replace him with another director.
If that still didn't work, Chu Mo wouldn't mind cutting off all cooperation with Tianhua Entertainment.
In Hua Country's entertainment industry, although Tianhua Entertainment was big, ranking third, there were still two bigger giants above it. Chu Mo had ample funds and could completely choose new partners.
Chu Mo boarded the elevator. Just as he pressed the button for the thirty-sixth floor, a figure like a fairy stepped out of a painting hurriedly caught up to him.
The breathtakingly beautiful girl whose breath was a bit heavy just tried to bow, but the elevator doors began to close. Chu Mo extended his hand to prevent the doors from closing, his gaze lingered on her for two seconds, then he said indifferently,
"Come in."
The trainee named Ding Qian immediately stepped forward. After the elevator doors closed, this girl whose beauty even surpassed that of Zhou Yuanyuan, the campus belle of the University of Science and Technology, slightly bowed and said with a voice as sweet as orchids,
"Um... I really thank you for giving me this opportunity. Without your recommendation, I would have definitely been eliminated."
"You?"
Chu Mo gave the stunning girl before him a brief look. This sprite-like girl truly resembled a celestial fairy who had descended to the mortal realm and was full of vitality. His lips curved slightly upwards, and with a smile, Chu Mo replied softly,
"I should be only a few years older than you, so let's forego the 'you'."
"My apologies for being presumptuous."
The girl, with her long hair cascading over her shoulders, bowed again, the neckline of her sleeveless blouse swaying slightly.
Chu Mo looked away, his cheeks slightly flushed; he was not yet at the point of being a seasoned womanizer.
The elevator doors opened, and as Chu Mo stepped out, he casually said,
"You're a trainee, so you must know Chu Wen and Zhao Shuangshuang. How are they doing?"
Ding Qian, still in the elevator, bowing insistently, had expressed her gratitude and had intended to leave. However, she was caught off guard by the young man's sudden inquiry and stood momentarily taken aback.
But after a brief moment, Ding Qian reacted and quickly exited the elevator, following the young man, and replied with a slightly puzzled look,
"Sister Wen Wen and Sister Shuangshuang are also trainees, but they are special admissions and do not participate in the internal elimination for trainees. They are also working very hard..."
There was a pause, and then sensing something amiss, the girl named Ding Qian added,
"All of us trainees are working very hard."
Arriving at the President's office on the top floor, Qin Zixuan's very female secretary opened the door for Chu Mo. Walking into the luxurious room of over a hundred square meters, Chu Mo casually looked around and walked to a bookshelf on one side, carelessly pulling out a book. The English letters before him made Chu Mo smile wryly.
Three years after graduation, and given that he hadn't studied seriously even during his university years, he had already returned the combination of the twenty-six letters to his professor.
After placing the slightly old book back on the shelf, Chu Mo then turned his attention to the dreamlike beauty opposite him and with a smile said,
"Wen Wen and Shuangshuang are my friends. Once you become famous, help me take care of them."
"Um... I'm just a trainee, and Sister Wen Wen and Sister Shuangshuang are specially recruited by President Qin. Even the teachers have to be polite to them; I have no place to take care of them..."
Chu Mo waved his hand, saying no more.
The girl before him, named Ding Qian, had an extraordinary level of beauty, with a height of around 1.7 meters. Although her figure wasn't as voluptuous as Tao Yun's, she was still perfectly proportioned. Coupled with her skilled acting previously, as long as the company backed her and provided a platform, there was no reason this fairy-like girl wouldn't become a sensation.
```
At that moment, the office door was pushed open again, and immediately, Qin Zixuan's graceful figure appeared before their eyes.
Without needing Chu Mo to ask further, the woman in her neat professional skirt immediately spoke respectfully,
"Mr. Chu, it has been handled as per your instructions."
Chu Mo nodded. These trivial matters were not of concern to him. His purpose for coming was to remind the other party that Shi Yuan Entertainment's collaboration with Tianhua might come to an end. He did not hide this fact and directly said,
"The company's development can't rely too heavily on Tianhua Entertainment. Being controlled by others is definitely not beneficial for the company's future. You all should look for more opportunities, so even if we have a fallout with Tianhua one day, the company won't be too affected."
"Mr. Chu, I understand. The company is currently in contact with the international superstar Wang Guangju. If we can bring this lifetime achievement award winner from the Oscars aboard, our dependency on Tianhua Entertainment will be greatly reduced."
As Qin Zixuan finished speaking, Ding Qian on the side suddenly covered her mouth, her eyes shining like the Milky Way, widened in awe.
Chu Mo glanced at the girl casually and, after withdrawing his gaze, nodded slightly,
"Wang Guangju is the top male artist in Hua Country and holds the title of one of the 'Four Heavenly Kings'. He's also one of the few Hua Country superstars who have successfully entered the international scene. If he joins Shi Yuan, it will indeed be greatly beneficial to the company's development."
"Wang Guangju is currently in Modu. I personally spoke with him a couple of days ago, but the outcome wasn't ideal... Such an influential figure can't be swayed by a simple salary offer."
Qin Zixuan showed a look of difficulty.
Hearing this, Chu Mo's eyes brightened.
He was a fan of Wang Guangju as well, having grown up watching his movies. Now that there was a chance to meet him, it would fulfill a childhood dream.
Turning his gaze towards Qin Zixuan, Chu Mo casually said,
"Arrange a meeting with him. While he is still in Modu, I will personally go and talk to him this time."
Naturally, Qin Zixuan, who would not object, immediately nodded her head.
Being a decisive person herself, after receiving Chu Mo's instruction, she didn't delay and took a cell phone from the secretary to make the call.
Wang Guangju, as an international superstar, is busy and won't stay in one place for long. If they missed this opportunity, arranging another meeting would be much more difficult.
About two minutes later, after hanging up the phone, Qin Zixuan reported respectfully,
"Mr. Chu, it has been arranged with him. He is going abroad tomorrow, so the meeting time will be tonight."
Chu Mo nodded, knowing that Qin Zixuan had many matters to deal with. Having given her a heads-up, he didn't linger and was about to leave when the stunningly beautiful girl beside him whispered,
"Um... Mr. Chu, could you take me with you? I am a fan of Wang Guangju; I've admired him since I was little. Don't worry, I promise I won't cause you any trouble."
As Chu Mo reached the office door, he paused slightly. He was going to see Wang Guangju for business, to discuss private matters, not appropriate for outsiders to be present.
About to decline, he caught a glimpse of the girl's bright eyes, like the shining moon beside him.
They were eyes that could draw one's soul into their depths. In the moment their gazes met, Chu Mo suddenly felt a momentary blank in his mind. In a daze, he seemed to have subconsciously agreed to something.
When he came back to his senses, he saw the elfin girl's radiant smile.
"Mr. Chu, thank you!!!"
Quickly averting his gaze from her eyes, Chu Mo shook his head with a wry smile.
So, in that moment of mental haze, he had agreed to let her accompany him!?
Chu Mo's figure disappeared at the office door. Qin Zixuan bowed deeply as he left, while the girl named Ding Qian, unable to contain her excitement, began to speak with parted red lips,
"Mr. Chu... thank you so much!"
Her voice sounded dreamy, ethereal, and lively, merely such a sweet voice, was like the music of the heavens.
