Setting a Name (2)

The only thing was that he hardly looked for her or even touched her. Many a time, he would stop at the most crucial moment. When it came to sexual impulses, he was hardly enthusiastic, or perhaps he only thought of her when he faced some dire need of relief. After all, the two of them were merely together to fulfill each other's needs. 0

He held no desire or expectation for any woman other than Yun Shishi. There was a possibility that, in the future, he might have to abide by his family's instruction to get a wife. Otherwise, he would remain single for life and simply stick to a regular woman for comfort when the need arose.

He was definitely pessimistic in this regard.

During that low period in his life, he lived a troubled and disoriented lifestyle, so much so that he was even unaware of the hidden dangers around him.

The modeling agency quickly took notice of the girl's activity with the superstar and was truly elated!

In particular, the young model's agent, who should be more aptly described as the person responsible for her, discussed at length with the company's top management and, without informing the two involved parties, drew up a series of hyping campaigns.

What a joke!

No one would have dared to imagine that a seemingly unknown young model like her could be involved in the relationship with the superstar.

Regardless of the nature of their relationship, there would be an extraordinary amount of speculative hype as long as it involved the man a tiniest bit. One could imagine the extent of fame and exposure the girl could get from such an association!

As a third-grade modeling agency, EASE had had no chance to groom a real star since its inception. Even though it was a talent agency, it was still a business that ran mostly escort services; hence, any available resources it had were reserved for the artists the company had signed on with. Thus far, it never had a chance to produce an A-lister.

Li Xiang'er might be their hope to break this dry spell, and having a famous actress under their charge might give the company its much-needed breakthrough.

They had to thank the superstar for this windfall!

The company wasted no time to make their stand with the young model; they would offer her a contract, but in return, she would have to sign her life away!

They were upfront with her. Following this, the company would create a series of hypes for her in relation to Gu Xingze, and for that, they would spend a hefty sum to engage a professional company specializing in hype campaigns, but they needed her full cooperation in this affair. For it to be successful, she would be subjected to a lot of cursing and harsh words from the artists' fans. All these were necessary in the name of fame!

If she could bear with all the negativity, the company would cast their bets on her and groom her to be a professional artist. She might be able to receive movie, TV, or commercial offers and work with all those top-tier celebs. Furthermore, if she was able to stand up to the demands and hard work, who knew? She might be able to stand on par with all the big stars, such as Yun Shishi and Yang Mi.

The young model's heart was moved and flustered by all the promises!

The entertainment industry was differentiated by tiers of statuses, much like Maslow's hierarchy pyramid. At the very tip of the top-most tier would be the international stars such as Han Yuyan and Gu Xingze. Below them were those A- and B-listers without any international recognition, such as Li Jiuxian, Yang Mi, and Yun Shishi, followed by third-tier artists like Lin Zhi and so forth.

As a new model making her debut, she was at the bottom of the food chain. Frankly, she could not even be considered part of the crowd, where even the runway was out of her reach, so there was no way that she could even be thought of as part of the international modeling scene!
