Qiu Feng naturally understood Autumn Wind's intention. She smiled contentedly, but the answer that came out of her mouth surprised Autumn Wind. "The boss's daughter likes these two girls, so I can't not take them! Also, that Xiao Yuan's hometown isn't far away. After work, I plan to send them to Grandma for her to look after."
"Oh! In that case, my future work will be easier!"
"Don't get ahead of yourself! Here you go!" Her tone suddenly lowered. "Did you see that car behind?"
"I saw it. Isn't that one of Brother Kai's artists?"
"They've been quite busy lately, and you've been assigned there! Someone is releasing a photobook, and you have to go promote it!"
"Is that for real? My salary is only twenty-five thousand, and I have to travel all over the place!" Autumn Wind couldn't help but exclaim.
"Hey! Keep your voice down!" Zhao Jingqi pulled Autumn Wind back. "Why are you shouting? Just be careful; the company won't let you go without pay, right? Hey, I'm the one with fewer gigs in our company. Following me is your luck!"
After hearing Qiu Feng's words, Autumn Wind had to quiet down. Compared to other artist assistants, her workload was indeed much lighter.
Autumn Wind couldn't help but frown. "Is that Brother Kai a good person?"
Zhao Jingqi shook his head. "I haven't had direct contact with him, so I don't know! He seems alright; he looks clean and tidy!"
As they spoke, they arrived at their destination. It was already getting dim, but the villa was brightly lit. A senior man dressed in silk and sporting a Mediterranean hairstyle stood confidently among the crowd; he was the owner of the villa and hailed from Beijing.
What surprised Autumn Wind was that when Yu learned that Autumn Wind was on her way to Southern, her speech suddenly slowed down as she mumbled some incoherent words. Unable to grasp what Yu was saying, Autumn Wind directly interrupted her.
"Dear, I'm a bit busy right now. I'll call you back later. Take care of yourself and don't talk on the phone for too long; my heart can't take it! Alright, be good, I'm hanging up now!" Without waiting for Yu to respond, Autumn Wind quickly ended the call.
Because if she didn't end the conversation soon, Qiu Feng was planning to take out the barbecue grill and roast her. At this moment, smoke was already starting to rise from Qiu Feng's head.
Her face clearly displayed two large words: "Not Happy," expressing her dissatisfaction with Autumn Wind's inadequate assistance.
After hanging up the phone, Autumn Wind tried to express a bit of apology to Qiu Feng, but she ignored her and turned her head away, refusing to acknowledge Autumn Wind. Autumn Wind decided to give Qiu Feng some space, thinking that this type of woman would surely take the initiative to talk to her later.
As soon as the car exited the interchange, they saw the vehicles waiting to greet them. This event was an employee recognition conference organized by a local boss in Southern. To everyone's surprise, Zhao Jingqi was elected as the host. She looked a bit nervous, while Phoebe and Yusha were giving her psychological support. The children's energy was boundless, and soon a smile appeared on her face. Seeing this, Autumn Wind tilted her head and took the initiative to speak to Qiu Feng, "Why did you bring the kids all the way here?"
To entertain Autumn Wind and others, he specifically invited a famous chef from Beijing to prepare an extremely lavish dinner. After dinner, everyone gathered together to celebrate. Perhaps due to having seen many incidents happening during celebrations, Autumn Wind chose to return to her room for a good night's sleep.
Indeed, that night paparazzi were lurking around the farmhouse, capturing not only images of the host's son kissing a female model but also breaking news about security guards assaulting someone. When Autumn Wind saw these reports in the newspaper, she couldn't help but gasp in shock. Before the performance began, Autumn Wind strolled around the dressing room but found nothing unusual. In fact, everyone seemed unaffected by last night's events or the newspaper reports. The opening and closing of the winery and the performance proceeded as scheduled. Autumn Wind held Yusha in her arms and looked up at Qiu Feng hosting on stage; she suddenly felt a mix of emotions. Autumn Wind admired Qiu Feng; she always seemed to burst forth with unexpected energy. Watching her bounce around on stage made Autumn Wind suddenly feel an inexplicable fear of marriage.
Autumn Wind thought that if Qiu Feng hadn't gotten married, perhaps she would have already become a top-tier artist by now. Graduating from Huagang Art School, she had been signed by a record company early on but never released an album due to various reasons. Later, Qiu Feng met Xiao Yuan while studying abroad, then got married and had children.
Women are all great; in terms of dedication and selflessness, a man's pride is nothing compared to the calluses on a woman's fingers.
The event continued until 2 PM. During the festivities, Autumn Wind couldn't stand the noisy atmosphere anymore and took the kids back to the car. Beside the car, in a temporary tent, several artists who hadn't gone on stage were joking around and having fun.
Among them was the female model who had been photographed last night; clearly, that incident hadn't affected her good mood. She occasionally touched up her makeup in front of a mirror while sharing the latest entertainment news and occasionally spilling some gossip. Behind her, hairstylists and makeup artists were busy working, but everyone was straining their ears to listen; this was where gossip originated.
The dressing room is where most rumors circulate. If you want to be a clean artist, stay away from the dressing room; in other words, you need to learn how to work with makeup on. This is something Qiu Feng could never manage; there would always be some rumors associated with her.
Yusha and Phoebe seemed tired from playing; they sat in the car for a while before quickly falling asleep.
Feeling bored, Autumn Wind had no choice but to join in on the artists' conversation. Although she was young, she had been in the entertainment industry for quite some time. Aside from Qiu Feng, she had collaborated with no less than ten artists; however, aside from Qiu Feng, all others were just for promotional work—shouting slogans and putting in effort while also receiving complaints. Over the years, she had become familiar with quite a few artists (though mostly just their faces).
In the conversation, it was confirmed that she would help promote the artist's photo book. It was just promotion, which sounded nice, but in reality, it was a thankless and laborious task.
At the end of the event, Qiu Feng told Autumn Wind that she was going directly to Xiao Yuan's mother’s place. "It's so close; not going home to take a look is quite unreasonable. The old lady is also eager to see the babies!" She gently rubbed her face against Yusha's.
Thus, Autumn Wind and Kai squeezed into a car.
Autumn Wind had actually heard about this agent named Kai a long time ago, of course from Yu, who was a typical gossip. From her mouth, one could always hear some news that was quite enlightening. It was said that Kai's family was very wealthy, even among the richest in Taipei. Unlike many rich young masters who preferred a single life, he was just over thirty and already a father of two.
Brother Kai became an agent for a simple reason: he enjoyed watching others have fun. One of his most famous events as an agent was turning an unknown magician into a superstar across the Taiwan Strait. When the magician signed with his company, no one had high hopes for him; yet he personally invested money to enhance the magician's one percent French heritage, completely transforming him into a mixed-race star.
If that were true, Autumn Wind thought that if Jak were signed by Kai, wouldn't he become the next superstar?
The car was returning to Taipei around seven o'clock, and the streets of Taipei began to flicker with distracting lights.
Yao Lizhen's phone rang repeatedly. Originally planning to go home first to drop off her things, Autumn Wind had no choice but to get out of the car at the nearest spot to her home. Through the car window, Brother Kai waved goodbye to Autumn Wind, next to him was Yaren, who had just released her photo book. She also leaned out and said, "It was great working together!"
Autumn Wind smiled and waved back at them as Kai's car quickly disappeared into the flickering night.
Autumn Wind let out a slight sigh of relief and stood dazedly at the intersection with her luggage. Across the street, on a huge advertisement, a woman with chestnut-red hair posed naturally yet elegantly with an "iuiu" bag, looking very regal. Below six letters on golden wallpaper shone brilliantly under the lights.
Autumn Wind felt her body start to weaken; she took a step back and leaned against what looked like a fragile utility pole, continuing to stare blankly into the distance.
Five minutes later, Yao Lizhen drove up in front of Autumn Wind. As soon as she got in the car, she noticed the band-aid on Autumn Wind's forehead and exclaimed loudly as if she had swallowed a silkworm pupa: "What happened to your head! Oh no! Does it hurt?"
Autumn Wind flipped her bangs down to cover the wound and replied, "It's nothing! Just bumped it! What about your platinum bag? Let me take a look! I've never seen a platinum bag before!"
Yao Lizhen reached back to grab a bag from the back seat and tossed it into Autumn Wind's lap. "You've never seen a platinum bag? You're kidding me! Here, you better perform well later, don't let the old lady find out!"
Autumn Wind tilted her head and squinted, trying to peek through the thick packaging to see what the bag looked like. Yao Lizhen burst into laughter at Autumn Wind's antics. "Stop looking! It's dark blue; what color would an old lady use?"
The intersection was very close to Yao Mama's house. Just as Yao Lizhen finished speaking, they arrived at Yao Mama's place. Autumn Wind threw her luggage into Yao Lizhen's car. "I won't take these things out; just remind me not to forget them when we go home later!"
Yao Lizhen suddenly screamed in disbelief, "No way!"
"Why not?"
She stammered, unable to explain, "I'll take it upstairs; it's not safe to leave it in the car!"
"What’s unsafe about it? All of this combined is less than one-tenth of the platinum bag! If anyone should carry it, it's you! I have to hold onto this bag! If it gets bumped or scratched, it’s no joke!" Autumn Wind said, looking like a silly girl obsessed with money.
Yao Lizhen shook her head, laughing as if she were looking at her precious son, then picked up Autumn Wind's luggage and headed upstairs with a smile.
Autumn Wind paused for a moment; Yao Lizhen's insistence suddenly gave her an ominous feeling.
