Chapter 219 My Friend's Son, Traveling Together
While Ning Yao and her roommates were happily on a sea trip, Xue Jiashu's agent, Yuan Fen, was so annoyed that her head circumference seemed to have increased by a whole size.
Her best friend is also an agent in the entertainment industry.
Mu Jie is in the same industry as her and is the agent of Ning Duoduo, the newly crowned Best Actress. She has called her a lot these past few days to scold her.
"Is Xue Jiashu out of his mind? Is Luo Xiyao his father's killer? Why is he so fixated on her? Is it really necessary?"
"The matter had already been resolved, but then he went to Yuhua Mall and put on a melodramatic show? How did you manage to manage him?"
Mu Jie didn't want to get involved in this matter, as it had nothing to do with the artists she managed.
But Ning Duoduo asked her to help Luo Xiyao out, so Luo Xiyao's affairs naturally fell to her.
She had secretly cooperated with Luo Xiangzhi to suppress the matter, which was not a bad thing for Xue Jiashu, and could even be considered as helping him. But this guy was brainless and insisted on courting death!
"If I told you that this wasn't my idea, and that Xue Jiashu did it all himself, would you believe me?" Yuan Fen explained helplessly, her words sounding rather weak.
"You're his manager, aren't you involved in what he does?" Mu Jie gritted her teeth and continued to berate him without any politeness.
"Now look what's happened! He's caused trouble again, and my artist is distracted by Luo Xiyao's affairs. I'm busy with both!"
"What kind of idiot is Xue Jiashu? He's infuriating!"
"Stop scolding me all the time. Help me think of a way to resolve Xue Jiashu's situation. I'm going crazy with work here too," Yuan Fen pleaded.
"Heh, I've already helped. Now you're on your own to clean up this mess!" Mu Jie sneered.
"Don't ruin Xue Jiashu. My company leaders have been pressuring me these past few days to save this cash cow."
"That's not up to me. He didn't mess with me, Mu Jie, but with Ning Duoduo!" Mu Jie said, then hung up the phone and took a deep breath.
Her best friend is reaping what she sowed. Not only did she lack the foresight to hire such an artist, but she also failed to manage her properly.
She had originally intended to help Xue Jiashu out of consideration for their relationship, hoping for a win-win situation. But now that Xue Jiashu was courting death, she could no longer interfere. She had already given him face; it was his own fault for not appreciating it.
Yuan Fen was extremely troubled. How did Ning Duoduo get involved in this matter?
In her memory, Ning Duoduo and Xue Jiashu had no connection. The only explanation was that Luo Xiyao and Ning Duoduo had a personal relationship.
This Luo Xiyao is truly a person who keeps a low profile; who knows how many unknown forces are backing her up.
Only three days after the incident was exposed, she already knew of three different factions involved...
I thought she was just a newcomer in the entertainment industry, what connections or skills could she possibly have?
Now it seems that Xue Jiashu has really messed up, offending such a powerful figure!
Before Yuanfen could think it through, her boss called again. Helpless, she raised her hand to support her forehead and forced herself to listen to her superior's reprimand.
Imperial City Costa Cruises Port.
Ning Yao, Cui Mengmeng, and Xin Yujue arrived at their destination by taxi. After getting out of the car, Cui Mengmeng helped Ning Yao with her luggage, claiming that she needed to get used to the work of a manager and assistant in advance and take good care of Ning Yao, the artist.
Xin Yujue also helped Cui Mengmeng, saying with a smile, "You've had a lot of troubles lately, and you must be quite tired. Take a good rest and adjust your mood. Let Mengmeng and I help you with this heavy work."
Anyone would feel uncomfortable encountering someone as disgusting as Xue Jiashu, and she felt that Luo Xiyao was no exception, though she pretended not to care on the surface.
Ning Yao chuckled to herself. Why did everyone around her treat her like a flower in a greenhouse, taking such good care of her?
She doesn't have a delicate appearance. Although she looks pure and gentle, her aura is never weak.
Everyone who has been close to her praises her cool and stylish demeanor.
Ning Yao began to reflect on what she had done wrong that made people so uneasy and think she was weak and easy to bully.
As Ning Yao walked past Cui Mengmeng, she rolled up her sleeves, bent down, scooped up the suitcase, and casually hoisted it onto her shoulder, as if she wanted to show off her strength and display her strong woman demeanor.
Not only Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue, but also the other cruise ship passengers around them were stunned as they watched Ning Yao walk step by step toward the port.
"Oh, you guys actually came. I thought the whole thing about getting boat tickets was a scam."
Miao Yuliu's driver also brought them over. When she saw Ning Yao and the others, Miao Yuliu's sycophantic friend #1 started to feel jealous, rolling her eyes so hard they almost floated to the sky.
Then, numbers 234 also began to speak in turn, each one more sarcastic and sarcastic than the last.
"Luo Xiyao used to do manual labor, right? She's really strong. She didn't need anyone's help and carried the boxes herself."
"Look at her, tsk tsk, so unrefined, she doesn't look like a proper young lady at all."
"Luo Xiyao is certainly not as good as Yu Liu. Our Yu Liu comes from a prestigious family and is a proper young lady from a wealthy family."
Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue ignored them, rolled their eyes, and then followed Ning Yao with their luggage.
Several people were queuing to have their tickets checked, preparing to enter the cabin.
When it was Ning Yao's turn, the Costa cabin crew politely extended their right hand, palm up, in a gesture of "please".
"I'm sorry, your ticket isn't..."
Before the staff member could finish speaking, Miao Yuliu's sycophantic friends laughed and rushed forward to interrupt and mock Ning Yao.
"Oh my god, I'm dying of laughter. It turned out to be a fake ticket."
"Who are you trying to fool? This is Costa Cruises, how dare you pull out fake tickets?"
"If we hadn't run into you here, would you have claimed back at school that you had already been on a ship and to Europe?"
"Fake ticket thief, get out of the way! Don't block the people behind us from getting their tickets checked and boarding."
"That's right, get out of the way!"
"Don't expose them. They brought fake tickets just to show off. If you tell them directly, how will they ever face anyone again?" Miao Yuliu raised her eyebrows smugly, glancing up and down at Ning Yao, Cui Mengmeng, and Xin Yujue, and said in a feignedly kind manner.
The Costa cabin crew listened attentively to what the girls had to say, and only after Miao Yuliu finished speaking did he smile and begin to explain.
"You've misunderstood. Ms. Luo's ticket was checked through the VIP entrance next door, while this is the entrance for the economy class."
"VIP entrance? You mean the ticket she has is for a VIP top-floor suite?" Miao Yuliu was shocked, her face turning pale.
How can this be?
"Yes." The staff member nodded with a smile, displaying great poise.
"Are all their tickets VIP tickets?" Miao Yuliu's sycophantic friend, number 4, widened her eyes and casually pushed Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue, who were in front of her in line, forward, signaling the staff to check their tickets.
"Yes, there are three in total, all VIP tickets." As the staff member was speaking, a tall woman who looked like the cabin crew manager walked over; her appearance and demeanor were exceptional.
She first nodded to Ning Yao, then said softly, "I'm sorry, this was a mistake by our cabin staff."
"We sent a reminder message to your booking phone number at 8:00 AM, but the staff may have forgotten."
"I am the General Manager of the Customer Service Department on the Costa 009. I will now lead you to the VIP entrance."
Ning Yao then remembered that her phone was on silent, so she quickly took it out and opened WeChat, where she saw a message from Ning Chen.
"No, no, no, it was my carelessness. I didn't check the message." Ning Yao scratched her head sheepishly, her smile charming and endearing.
"It's alright, our colleagues will help you carry your suitcase."
The ship's cabin manager wanted to help Ning Yao with her suitcase, but saw her carrying it on her shoulder in a rather unrestrained manner...
Since it was inconvenient for her to carry them, she called over a few of her male colleagues to help Ning Yao, Cui Mengmeng, and Xin Yujue carry their things.
Ning Yao didn't refuse, letting the cabin staff help them with their luggage, completely leaving Miao Yuliu and her group behind, pretending not to see them, while her mind was filled with the message Ning Chen had just sent.
[VIP ticket check-in is at the entrance, not on the economy class side, and there is no need to queue.]
By the way, Ning Moran and I happen to be free and have boarded the ship. We'll come find you once we're settled in.
Why did Ranran come too? He's always so busy with work in the lab, how could he have time to go on a seven-day sea trip?
However, it was a good thing. Ning Yao suddenly raised her lips and smiled sweetly.
Now she can enjoy a happy seven-day trip with her friends and son!
