Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

She left mercilessly.

Huo Wen’an covered his mouth and coughed violently. Staring at the blood on his palm, he cursed, ”Damn this useless body!”

Xu Xingguang had contacted He Yue in advance.

Out of curiosity, and with the intention of signing Xu Xingguang as his artist, He Yue dropped everything and stayed at the company waiting for her.

Upon receiving the call informing him that Xu Xingguang had arrived at the company building, He Yue hurried downstairs to meet her.

After seeing Little Star’s true appearance, He Yue immediately gaped in astonishment.

For a moment, it seemed like money was raining down from the sky.

That was the wealth that Little Star brought him!

”Are you Little Star?” He Yue asked as calmly as possible.

Nodding slightly, Xu Xingguang said, ”I am.”

He Yue suddenly said, ”I’ve seen you before.”

Xu Xingguang raised an eyebrow and looked curious. ”When was that?” She couldn’t recall meeting He Yue.

He Yue smiled and said, ”It was many years ago. At that time, I hadn’t yet changed careers to become an agent. I used to be a junior screenwriter with the production crew and had the privilege of participating in Teacher Mo’s works. That winter, Teacher Mo invited all the writers to her home for hot pot and to discuss the storyline by the fireplace. That’s when I saw you.”

He Yue reminisced deeply, saying, ”That night, you participated in the discussion, contributing many good ideas. We all thought that if you pursued screenwriting, you could definitely become our country’s top writer.”

”We just didn’t expect so many unforeseen events to happen later.”

”After Teacher Mo passed away, I never encountered another mentor like her. Feeling that screenwriting was uninteresting, I switched careers to become an agent.”

He Yue smiled and extended his hand to Xu Xingguang, introducing himself anew: ”Hello, Miss Xu, I am agent He Yue.”

Xu Xingguang shook his hand, ”Xu Xingguang.”

Knowing that Little Star was Xu Xingguang, He Yue’s attitude towards her instantly became more familiar.

Mo Yinshu was once his mentor, and Xu Xingguang could be considered his fellow mentee. Little Star might be a person who is reckless, but Xu Xingguang definitely wasn’t.

He Yue set aside his previous dismissive attitude and led Xu Xingguang to the director’s office.

In the elevator, he asked Xu Xingguang, ”Miss Xu, are you planning to discuss the adaptation rights of your work with our director?”

Xu Xingguang’s pieces are few but each one is classic. Whenever book lovers compile and recommend classic novels, her name always appears at the forefront of suspense authors.

Many film companies wanted to purchase the adaptation rights to Xu Xingguang’s works, but unfortunately, she had been in a coma before, leaving these matters pending.

After hearing that Xu Xingguang woke up, those prominent directors began to be tempted again.

If Xu Xingguang intended to discuss film adaptation matters with Bingfeng Entertainment, she indeed had the qualifications to speak face-to-face with the director.

He didn’t mention it, Xu Xingguang almost forgot about it.

”I guess we could talk about it.” She said.

Hearing Xu Xingguang’s response, He Yue’s eyes sparkled wisely as he asked in surprise, ”Is Miss Xu planning to collaborate with the director on other matters?”

”Yes.”

Seeing that Xu Xingguang was unwilling to disclose details, He Yue didn’t probe further.

But he sincerely invited Xu Xingguang: ”Miss Xu, I remember your excellent college entrance examination results; you were the second highest in Yujiang Prefecture, but for some reason, you ended up going to the Teacher’s University. Regardless, Miss Xu, with your academic excellence, stunning looks that surpass the entire entertainment circle, and your achievements embellished with powerful works, if you are willing to enter entertainment, your future is limitless. Would you consider signing with our company to become an artist?”

Xu Xingguang chuckled softly, saying, ”Mr. He has painted a big, fragrant picture, but I don’t like eating cakes, I prefer meat. My aspirations don’t lie in the entertainment industry, I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you.”

He Yue curiously asked, ”Your aspirations don’t lie in the entertainment industry, so what are your aspirations? Scientist? Writer? Or other fields?”

Xu Xingguang’s answer rendered He Yue utterly shocked; she said, ”I want to be a mother to all the homeless children who desperately want to change their fate.”

Helping the most those in need, enabling them to rewrite their own lives, is the most challenging and rewarding task.

After hearing Xu Xingguang’s answer, He Yue fell silent.

Because he realized that Xu Xingguang didn’t care for the glamorous entertainment world at all.

The director of Bingfeng Entertainment Company was named Huo Lan, a man over 1.8 meters tall, dressed in a charcoal gray suit, standing by the window overlooking the bustling traffic below, exuding a remarkably proud aura.
