"Lu Ming Cheng?!" Lu Yi Feng asked her, feeling bewildered. "My half brother, Lu Ming Cheng?"Feng Xiao Qing nodded. "Yes, he is."
"Really? The father is really him?!" Lu Yi Feng couldn"t help but continue asking. This... was an unexpected founding! There were thousands of men in this world who could father the child, but she was actually Lu Ming Cheng"s little girl!
"Yes, he is. I don"t dare to lie to you," Feng Xiao Qing admitted. Besides... there was no use in lying to the man in front of her. At least, by telling the truth, he could offer her a protection.
"But... how?" Lu Yi Feng tried to pry the answer.
"I"m sorry, Boss. Can I pa.s.s this question? That is my private matter." Feng Xiao Qing didn"t want to reminisce those memories.
Lu Yi Feng saw the grim look on Feng Xiao Qing"s face and he knew that this wasn"t a simple matter. It seemed like after the girl left, he should ask his personal investigator to find out everything about Feng Xiao Qing and Xiao Xi Xi.
"Sure. As long as you don"t betray me, you can rest a.s.sured. I won"t meddle in your personal life." Lu Yi Feng gave her his promise.
Feng Xiao Qing nodded gratefully at Lu Yi Feng. This man was quite sensible.
"I need to ask you a question. Xiao Xi Xi"s father is my arch-enemy. So, why do you choose my company instead of his? Do you know that by doing this you will go against him? I won"t sugarcoat everything because everyone in the industry knows about our bad relations.h.i.+p. I think you already understand this point before joining the audition. Am I correct?" Lu Yi Feng asked her seriously.
Even though it seemed like she didn"t have a good feeling toward Lu Ming Cheng, if suddenly Lu Ming Cheng accepted Xiao Xi Xi and this woman changed her mind, wouldn"t it affect his company too? He didn"t want to raise a traitor.
However, he changed his mind when he saw her eyes. He saw a blood-chilling hatred in her eyes and it made him more confused. What did Lu Ming Cheng do to make this woman hate him so?
"It"s correct. I didn"t think I will be succeeded in one go, because I"ve never sung in front of anyone but Xiao Xi Xi before. I also know that by doing this, it will make go against him and it"s actually my sole purpose of coming here, besides the money... of course."
Lu Yi Feng was taken aback because of her bluntness, but it was refres.h.i.+ng. This woman didn"t try to curry favor or use her beauty to her advantage. She just laid all her cards there and her purpose was in line with his too. And the crazy thing was... she never sang in front of an audience before! She"s really a hidden gem.
Lu Yi Feng hesitantly asked her, "Do you hate him that much?"
The same loathe feeling emanated from every pore of her body and even if Feng Xiao Qing didn"t answer him, he already got the answer. However, he still waited expectantly.
"I do," Feng Xiao Qing answered without a second thought.
Lu Yi Feng grinned coldly, "Very well then. At least, we have the same goal."
"Then do we have a deal?"
Lu Yi Feng admired her boldness. A scaredy-cat woman wasn"t interesting and it seemed like he would have a lot of fun with her after she joined his company. "Deal. Come here! I want you to review the contract. Don"t worry! I won"t make you eat a loss."
Feng Xiao Qing believed in Lu Yi Feng"s words. This man -- although he"s cruel -- always does his business full of integrity. She had never heard a complaint from the artists who worked under him ---except for Yun Yi. However, she moved and worked under Lu Ming Cheng"s banner, so she wasn"t exactly reliable, to begin with. She believed Lu Ming Cheng must have done underhanded tricks to poach that girl. She knew him better than anyone else.
Feng Xiao Qing reviewed all the contract and felt satisfied. The way Lu Yi Feng"s Emperor Entertainment stated each clause was very specific and detailed, even in the account of profit sharing --- they were quite generous. For a beginner like her, the contract was quite easy to understand.
Lu Yi Feng especially gave her more benefits in the contract, naturally because he also needed her. He didn"t want other companies to poach this new artiste under him. He already saw another movement from Lu Ming Cheng to poach his other artists, luckily he blocked his attempt in time.
"Do you have any question? If there"s something that you don"t understand, I"ll explain it to you," Lu Yi Feng offered.
"I trust you, Boss!" Without a second thought, Feng Xiao Qing signed the contract. She understood that in this kind of business, trust was very important. This was a sign of goodwill from her.
Lu Yi Feng was quite surprised with the way she trusted him. "Good! But I don"t trust you... yet"
Feng Xiao Qing: "..."
She regretted showing her good will! He just slapped her face with his words!
