Chapter 1816: The Path to Stardom

“Starlight Corporation Proprietary Limited?”

Xu Xiaolan blinked with a hint of confusion before turning to An Lin with an inquisitory glance.

An Lin provided a patient explanation, “Starlight Corporation Proprietary Limited is one of the three main entertainment companies in our Hua Nation. They dabble in things like cinematics, games, animation, music…”

“Oh…” Xu Xiaolan nodded upon hearing this.

The two of them didn’t really react to his announcement that he was from Starlight Corporation Proprietary Limited, and his heart jolted as a result.

His expression became even more earnest. “Madam, would you like to become a star? I have a very good discerning eye for talent, and I can guarantee through a contract that you will become a first-rate star in the Hua Nation within five years if you join our Starlight Corporation Proprietary Limited!”

Xu Xiaolan was a little intrigued. “Really? I don’t have any talents though. I can’t sing and dance, so how am I going to become a star?”

Chen Feibai was a little entranced by her exquisite beauty, and he only came to his senses after a short while. “You don’t have to have any talents! All you have to do is stand in front of the camera and smile, and you’ll be a first-rate star the next day, trust me!”

Xu Xiaolan: “…”

An Lin was very angry. “How can you do that? Think about the artists who wake up at the crack of dawn every single day and work their a*ses off for a chance at becoming a star, what are they going to think if they hear this?”

Chen Feibai shot a glance at An Lin. “Don’t be naive. This is reality. Even though those who work hard can also succeed, those with exquisite beauty will succeed much more easily.”

An Lin: “…”

Chen Feibai sized up An Lin with a careful glance. “Did you save the Earth in your previous life or something? How did you end up with such a beautiful girlfriend? If you really love your girlfriend, you should encourage her to try and become a star. With her looks, it would a massive shame if she didn’t pursue the path of stardom!”

Xu Xiaolan burst into laughter upon hearing this. “I don’t know if he saved the Earth in his previous life, but he most certainly has saved the Earth in this life, and not too long ago either at that.”

“What?” Chen Feibai was at a complete loss.

“He’s right! No wonder Celestial Maiden Xiaolan wants to marry me right after I saved the Earth.” An Lin tapped Xu Xiaolan on the nose.

Xu Xiaolan leaned her head on An Lin’s shoulder with a sweet smile on her face. “You are the best present the world has given me…”

“Xiaolan…”

“An Lin…”

The two of them began to flirt with one another.

Chen Feibai was completely dumbstruck. What were they talking about? Why couldn’t he understand a single word?

“Have you forgotten that I’m here? I am a star scout from one of the three largest entertainment companies in the Hua Nation. I can help you become a star! Are you interested?” Chen Feibai was not interested in hearing their fantasies about saving the Earth and decided to get back on track.

“Alright, then tell me, if I was to join your company, what kind of star could I become?” An Lin asked with an intrigued smile.

Chen Feibai repressed the disdain in his heart and sized up An Lin’s appearance before nodding slightly. “You’re not bad. If you work hard for a few years, even without any acting skills, you should be able to become a third-rate star. If your girlfriend is willing to help you, maybe you could even make it as a second-rate star.”

An Lin: “…”

“Pffft… Hahaha…” Xu Xiaolan doubled over with laughter.

An Lin’s expression darkened. He felt like he had been insulted.

He was so handsome! Even in the Four Nine Immortal Sect, he was the undisputed number one most handsome sword immortal. How was it that, in Chen Feibai’s eyes, he could only become a second-rate star after relying on his girlfriend to carry him?!

“How about it? Do you want to try?” Chen Feibai stood up straight with a proud expression.

In this era, celebrities and stars were extremely revered. Second-rate stars were situated at dizzying heights to many, and they would die for a chance to scale to those heights.

He had the confidence that there was almost no one who could resist this temptation.

However, to his surprise, An Lin’s expression remained unchanged, as if he didn’t really care. If anything, he appeared to be a little enraged…

What he didn’t know was that An Lin had already scaled to unimaginable heights, not in the entertainment industry, but in a much more worthwhile field. The only reason why An Lin was expressing any interest at all to his offer was just to humor himself and Xiaolan.

Xu Xiaolan finally recovered from her fit of laughter. “So how long will it take for me to become a star like Dongfang Xue?”

“What!” Chen Feibai was given a massive fright. “Are you insane? Dongfang Xue is a global megastar! Her influence is unmatched! You want to be like her?”

Xu Xiaolan was a little disappointed. “Is it not possible?”

An Lin was very displeased now. “This b*stard is blind as a bat! You’re clearly much better than Dongfang Xue. Let’s go.”

An Lin left with Xu Xiaolan as he spoke, leaving a stunned Chen Feibai in their wake. His mind was completely blank, and he was even starting to doubt the purpose of his life. Who am I? What am I doing? How could they leave just like that?

Chen Feibai was completely dumbstruck. “They don’t want to become celebrities just because they can’t reach Dongfang Xue’s heights? Do they really think they’re gods?”

An Lin continued to act as Xu Xiaolan’s lackey as they resumed their shopping spree.

Chen Feibai took a deep breath as he looked on at the two of them before deciding to follow them!

She was too perfect to miss, and he felt like he should strive further to recruit her!

Chen Feibai knew that this extraordinarily beautiful woman actually took her boyfriend’s opinion very seriously. As such, he should really be more responsible and think for her sake!

Dongfang Xue was an extremely powerful cultivator, and she still ended up becoming a singer. No matter who that woman was, how could she compare to Dongfang Xue? It was simply a delusional pursuit!

“Please wait.” Chen Feibai quickly caught up with An Lin and Xu Xiaolan. He had already prepared a new plan of attack. He was going to lay out a model of her future progression as well as the conditions and benefits offered by the company.

He was a star scout of one of the three premier entertainment companies in the Hua Nation, and this was certainly nothing to be scoffed at.

He was going to recruit this woman for Starlight Corporation Proprietary Limited no matter what!
