Chapter 57 Xu Lang's Agent!
"Xu Lang, if you become rich and powerful, don't forget me!"
Bai Mengyan raised her wine glass, a bright smile on her face, clinked glasses with Xu Lang, and then drank it all in one gulp.
"Does that mean I can never book a hotel room with you again?"
Xu Lang rolled his eyes at her and said, "Mengyan, haven't you met anyone suitable lately?"
Bai Mengyan picked up a piece of grilled meat, bit into it, and as it sizzled with oil, she said:
"I want to focus on my career for now and not think about dating."
After a pause, I added a piece of toasted bread to his bowl and said:
"If I have any physical needs, I'll come to you secretly, without Jing Tian knowing, okay?"
"Not very good!" Xu Lang was a little speechless and helpless.
"Mengyan, do you think it's possible that career and romance don't conflict, like we did before, where we focused on our careers while also dating?"
"It's different. Getting to know someone new is too much trouble, and I don't have any plans for that right now." Bai Mengyan took a sip of her drink, looking quite content.
"By the way, I heard that actors all need agents. You're not signed to any company and don't have an agent. How about I recommend one to you?"
Xu Lang instinctively refused: "No need!"
"You know him too." Bai Mengyan didn't expect him to refuse so readily, and quickly added:
"It's my best friend, haha. I originally wanted to use hers, but I'm a newcomer now. I'm already grateful that the company signed me, so I don't dare to ask for anything else."
"Here's what we'll do: you can use her for now! Once I've made something of myself and have a voice, I'll poach her from you—it's good to keep the good stuff in the family!"
Xu Lang picked up a skewer of grilled meat and paired it with a beer:
"You mean, I'll support her for now? I remember she has a job, right? Being a kindergarten teacher is pretty good."
"Sigh, her physical exam last month revealed a bunch of problems—breast nodules! Her thyroid levels are also off! It's all because of those bratty kids!" Bai Mengyan sighed and took a sip of beer.
"These days, you can't hit or scold kids; parents complain at the drop of a hat. Haha said her colleague has developed hyperthyroidism from the stress; if she keeps going like this, she might shorten her lifespan..."
"Brother Lang, saving a life is a great act of kindness! Why don't you just do her a favor and give her a chance to change careers?"
Like a salesperson, she immediately tried to get her best friend involved, leaving Xu Lang with no reason to refuse.
It's as if Xu Lang abandoning her best friend is tantamount to murdering her, and she'll be driven to her death by those naughty kids sooner or later.
After her emotional appeal and coquettish pleading, Xu Lang finally nodded in agreement.
"But I've made it clear beforehand that I'll give her a trial period. If she's not happy with how I work with her, I'll fire her."
Bai Mengyan raised her glass, patted her chest, and guaranteed:
"She will absolutely not cause you any trouble, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"
She immediately called Hehe to tell him the news, and he was quite excited on the other end.
And they said they would come over tomorrow!
It was late at night when the show ended!
The two stumbled back to their rented apartment, and fueled by alcohol, they began a new round of sexual activity in bed.
After an unknown amount of time, the two fell into a deep sleep.
next day!
The two were awakened by the knocking on the door.
Xu Lang, wearing pajama bottoms and shirtless, went to open the door and was surprised to see Hehe standing there.
My drowsiness vanished almost instantly, and I was surprised:
"Hehe, you...have arrived?"
I didn't expect her to come so eagerly.
Hehe was a little surprised to see him, and peered inside from beside him, but didn't see Bai Mengyan:
"You...you guys...? Where's Mengyan?"
His gaze was a little strange as he sized up Xu Lang.
Xu Lang stepped to the side: "She's still sleeping. Come in, come in!"
Help her with her luggage.
Hehe is a very clean girl. Her looks aren't stunning, but they're average.
She entered the room, her gaze sweeping across the living room, then looking towards the bedroom, before cautiously making her way there.
Seeing her best friend Bai Mengyan lying naked and languidly on the soft bed, she quickly turned around and glanced at Xu Lang out of the corner of her eye. He was helping her put away her luggage. She walked over quickly.
"Where's Mengyan? Is she still not awake?"
She tried her best to suppress her emotions, regretting that she should have waited downstairs a little longer.
But didn't Mengyan say that the two of them had already broken up?
As I walked to the bedroom door, I smelled that scent—the two of them must have had a very intense battle last night, and it must have gone through several rounds.
Xu Lang suddenly remembered something, looked at the open bedroom door, and quickly walked over:
"She's still asleep, I'll go wake her!"
He took two steps at a time, entered the bedroom, closed the door, looked at Bai Mengyan who was completely naked, and sighed softly.
"Mengyan, wake up!"
Gently push her shoulder.
Bai Mengyan, still half-asleep, shook her hand:
"You kept me up so much last night, I haven't had enough sleep yet, go buy me breakfast..."
"Hi sister, hehe is here."
"Huh? You're here?" Bai Mengyan opened her eyes instantly, as if she had been injected with chicken blood, all sleepiness gone, and sat up.
Where is she?
"In the living room!"
"In the living room? Huh?" Bai Mengyan realized she was completely naked and hurriedly grabbed her pajamas to put on, looking a bit flustered.
Suddenly, she remembered that after Hehe handed her over to Xu Lang last time, she told Hehe that they had broken up and that if she encountered that kind of situation again, she should remember to book a hotel room for herself.
But now that the two of them are living together, what does that mean?
I hurriedly put on my pajamas, rushed out of the bedroom, and saw Hehe sitting on the sofa. I walked over with a smile.
"Hehe, why are you here so early?"
Xu Lang ignored the two of them, picked up his toiletries, and went about his business.
Hehe glanced towards the bathroom and heard the sound of running water. He lowered his voice:
"Mengyan, didn't you say you broke up? What happened...?"
Bai Mengyan smiled awkwardly but politely:
"We're both single, and he happened to have nowhere to sleep, so I let him stay. He just drank too much last night, hehe!"
He chuckled strangely at the two of them, sensing something was off about them.
"Mengyan, if he forces you, just tell him and I'll call the police for you..."
He even took out his phone, ready to call the police; Bai Mengyan quickly stopped him:
"No... there was no coercion, it was all consensual, consensual..."
"Okay!" Hehe, a little speechless.
They broke up, but they still slept together, which is against common sense, but as long as it was consensual for both of them, she couldn't say anything.
Perhaps it's because Xu Lang was her first love that she's so reluctant to let go.
Bai Mengyan sat down next to her and quickly changed the subject:
"Heh, I didn't expect you to quit and come over so quickly. Do you even know what it means to be an agent?"
"I don't know!"
"Actually, I don't know either. Let's wait for Xu Lang to come out and see what he has to say."
The two quickly steered the conversation towards work, as they were both quite embarrassed by the previous topic.
Xu Lang took a shower, washed up, dressed in casual clothes, and came to the two of them.
"Xu Lang, tell Hehe what kind of work your agent will be responsible for."
Bai Mengyan got up; she also needed to take a shower and wash up. Grabbing her belongings, she stopped just before entering the bathroom and turned back to look at the two of them.
"Xu Lang, set a higher salary for my best friend, don't be stingy, understand?"
