Only after Luo Zhentao repeatedly confirmed it, did he believe that he didn’t hear it wrong.

……Rong Xu wants to act?

That Rong Family’s Young Master, that prodigal rebel with smokey-eyed makeup wants to act?!

Luo Zhentao’s first reaction was: Are you playing with me?

He quietly looked at the boy in front of him with suspicion.

The youth’s handsome and distinct facial features with his red lips and white teeth were as if they were from a painting; it was indeed completely from that smokey-eyed look in Luo Zhentao’s memory. He would have never thought Rong Xu’s regular appearance would actually look like this. To have such an outstanding appearance, he would definitely be first-class goods even among all the attractive stars in the entertainment circle. There was star potential.

But having good looks was one thing, being an actor was another matter. So to say, could that easily gullible, brain-dead, prodigal, smokey-eyed-makeup-wearing Young Master act? Not to mention acting, could he swallow all the hardships that comes with it?

Luo Zhentao had on a difficult expression as he tried to persuade Rong Xu. He cleverly used excuses such as “being an actor is very tiring“ and “filming often requires you to stand out in the sun, getting dirty, and being battered by the weather“ to persuade Rong Xu. This way at least, he wouldn’t be attacking the other’s pride. After all, even if Rong Xu wasn’t favored, he was still someone from the Rong Family, there was no need to offend him.

However, in the face of Luo Zhentao’s advice, Rong Xu’s lips just hooked up in a smile and said: “Thank you for your kindness, Lou ge, but I have already been prepared. May I know when you can give me the script?“

Luo Zhentao was surprised for a moment and thought for a while before saying: “But it can be very dangerous when filming. Rong Xu, didn’t you see that Zhong Yi was injured while filming?“

Rong Xu didn’t answer his question and slightly inclined his head. Loose strands of black hair on his forehead fell to the side, revealing a pair of clear, bright eyes. “Since it happens that I’m already here at Huaxia Entertainments today, why not Luo ge and I go upstairs and just directly get the script now?“

Luo Zhentao became speechless and was unable to refuse.

Soon, Luo Zhentao reluctantly brought Rong Xu up to Huaxia Entertainments and walked towards his office.

While this role was only a minor supporting character, its image was very lovable. The crew was also top-notch within the country. The director, screenwriter, and two main leads were all famous figures in the industry. It wasn’t easy for Luo Zhentao to be able to win this role. He even secretly used Rong Xu’s name, pulling along a bit of Rong Family’s banner.

Ever since he heard the news of Rong Xu’s car accident and Zhong Yi being injured, Luo Zhentao had already long thought of giving this role to a small time actor under his management. If that actor executed it well, this role will definitely let him turn the salted fish over ​and at least become a second-tier actor.

Luo Zhentao’s heart turned over countless reasons and excuses. He would rather find Rong Xu any other main supporting character instead of handing over this minor supporting character today.

And so Luo Zhentao naturally didn’t realize that while he was deep in thought, the handsome and leisurely elegant youth following behind him calmly swept his eyes over everything in Huaxia Entertainments, quietly taking in this world’s largest entertainment company.
