Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 647 - Hesitant Emotion.



In Lin Xinyi's office room, 

"Thank you for helping me out in everything, Sister Xinyi. I hope I have not disappointed you with my answers earlier". Li Xue said, bringing a soft smile over her features. She was really satisfied with how the day went and she knew well that all of these would have not been possible without the support of her manager. 

"That was my job. And you haven't disappointed me. You were good at making people's thoughts go in the direction you wanted it to go. And I hope your plans work. Only that way you would be able to grab the footing back" Lin Xinyi said, keeping her expressions firm, perfectly suiting the image of the professional manager. 

Li Xue nodded to her words. Of course, she knew things weren't going to be easy for her. "Mhm-hmm … I hope it does." She affirmed in a hopeful voice, gathering some positiveness around. 

"Don't stress yourself into this. It's my job and I will definitely do something. You just have to maintain yourself in a healthy way and perform well in the work when it arrives" Lin Xinyi said when she saw the girl getting dispirited. After just a few days knowing her, she has started to feel a close sense of responsibility for her. Not just as her manager but also as the idol which the girl has adored. 

Li Xue's eyes swarmed with the warmth of assurance. "I will do my best, Sister Xinyi. But right now, is there any work I ought to do? I mean …"

"Except for Aurora's contract, we don't have any right now. To be honest, to start your comeback with Aurora is not a bad opportunity, rather it is one of the best ones. But it also has a drawback" Lin Xinyi said, taking a pause to lean forward to grab a file out of the drawer. "After doing Aurora, your work standard will be raised and you would only be able to do work with brands that matches the similar standards of Aurora". She continued her explanation, slowly flipping the pages of the files. The contracting terms were oddly beautiful, binding Li Xue to the brand for fourteen consecutive seasons.

"…" Li Xue also understood what that exactly meant. But in the past did she have any choice. She just could not bring herself to reject Feng Yi Lan's ideas, especially when she knew her plans were always in her favor. "Sister Xinyi, I could only say that I will try my best and you won't get any complaints regarding my work". 

"I would only expect that from you. Be perfect in your work, for the rest, I will take care". Lin Xinyi looked up from the file, staring at the girl. It was already her eighth time reading the modelling contract papers with Aurora but even after reading so many times, she wasn't able to point out one wrong hindering clause in it. "By the way, this contract … How did you get this? It's perfectly amazing."

Li Xue's eyes went to stare at the file in the hand of the manager. A smile of contentment plastered on her expressions. "In some fields of my life, I am the *koi fish, I guess". She spoke simply in nonchalance.

"…" Lin Xinyi was all puzzled at her chosen expression to which Li Xue smiled and explained. 

"Feng Yi Lan and I have been best friends since high school. So, this contract for me is just a help she has made to me as a friend. Otherwise after the scandal years back, a contract from this famous brand was simply impossible". 

The manager nodded in understanding. "Oh, it's like that. I must say you have good connections then. Now I understand how you got connected to Lawyer Liu at such a short notice."

She said and Li Xue was about to shake her head in denial but before that, she saw the woman's eyes getting a little hesitant. She paused, looking at her like that, but patiently waited to hear her hesitancy. 

After some time, Lin Xinyi asked plainly in her usual tone, "By the way Li Xue, does President Feng also know about this?".

Li Xue's brows got slightly raised at the question but before she could conclude anything from it, the manager explained her context of the query. 

"I mean I have heard, even though it's Ms. Feng looking into the affairs of Aurora, President Feng is still the one that is supporting it. If tomorrow he doesn't like the idea of you being the face of the brand, then it might get tough for you to impress him". 

After understanding the context, Li Xue almost laughed internally. Tough to impress Mr. Beelzebub? Only if she could tell the world that she has already kept the Devil wrapped around her.  She shook her head at her own thoughts before clarifying the woman's doubts, "I have seen President Feng a few times, Sister Xinyi. I don't think he is as tough as the world defines. Being a businessman, he just wants his company to make profits. I don't find any wrong with that. Till we could do our jobs well for him and bring the profits, I don't think he would mind". 

Lin Xinyi nodded and hummed to her words too, but there still remained an emotion persistent in her eyes that was again pushed back to the depths to hide away. "Okay, then do a good job for him". 

"I will always do!" Li Xue confirmed more like a promise as she added, "I think Aurora work will get started only after the Chiboa's New Year's Eve. Every year it's only after that".

The manager nodded. "Yes, they follow the same time every year. But still, I will call to ask them once. New Year's Eve is already near, so it won't make much of a difference. Other than that, your portfolio is already prepared and will be delivered soon. Since the conference with the media is already done and the news about having a comeback is also announced, you can re-activate your social media accounts. So that once again you could get back with your loyal fans". 

"I will do that today itself". Li Xue agreed, and slowly and slowly they discussed more talks.
