Song Jixing looked very serious: "Can I have a Coke? I want one with sugar." He had eaten a little less for breakfast, so a sugary Coke could replenish his energy.

Xu Kai's smile froze on his face, he couldn't bring himself to smile.

How could he drink Coke? And with sugar too? That's so bad for the skin! What if he breaks out from the sugar? Artists have to be extra careful about what they put in their mouths, things with high sugar like Coke are a big no-no!

As a professional and extremely responsible agent, Xu Kai blurted out: "Wait a moment, let me have someone get one for you! The company vending machines only have sugar-free Coke, I'm afraid that won't suit your taste!"

What's wrong with drinking Coke? It's not like some outrageous request!

He shouldn't be quibbling with his meal ticket over a simple can of Coke!

"Thank you!" Song Jixing said earnestly with a smile.

Song Jixing sat in the makeup room, letting the makeup artist smear whatever she wanted on her face.

Xu Kai sat to one side hugging a tablet, introducing Song Jixing to today's schedule and asking which jobs she wanted to pick.

After fermenting overnight, the company had received quite a few invitations. Xu Kai and several of his assistants had worked half the night before finally organizing the terms for these invitations.

From last night until now, the company's phones and emails had barely stopped ringing.

To give you an idea, the last time they'd received so many calls was several years ago when one of the company's artists had won an international award for a movie role.

Back then Xu Kai could only watch enviously as others hustled.

And now, he finally got such an opportunity! Even though he'd only slept four hours after working all night, Xu Kai was still bright eyed and bushy tailed: "A bunch of news outlets called asking for interviews! And dozens of variety shows, over twenty brands asked if you were free, plus some directors..."

Xu Kai reeled off the list of invitations with a touch of pride, highlighting some of the bigger names.

Of course these weren't mandatory options, she could choose from them.

"My plan for you today is to do one or two interviews first! Take on a few of the bigger, more well-known official interviews! There are also some brand endorsements, you can take a look and pick one or two you like..." Xu Kai laid out his plans.

Song Jixing listened and nodded. She didn't really care about the workflow, her agent was the professional so of course he would pick suitable options. "Anything is fine as long as we finish on time!"

A moment of stillness seemed to settle on the makeup room.

Xu Kai clenched his hands tighter around his tablet. Having managed this wet blanket for years, he knew her inside out.

"Don't worry, we'll definitely finish on time!"

The makeup artist's gaze gradually became ambiguous, as if she'd caught wind of some outrageous secret. She carefully hid her smirk, touched the phone in her pocket, planning to share this shocking news with her girlfriends at the first chance.

Considering Song Jixing's lazy tendencies and the timeliness of her popularity, Xu Kai specially picked two relatively major media outlets for her.

One focused on social news, the other entertainment and celebrities. The interviews were scheduled for the morning.
