Chapter 1065: It turns out her beauty was decaying.
In the end, Manager El was slunk out.
Before leaving, he glanced back at Talila sitting on the sofa, making exaggerated winks and gestures, hinting that Talila should try to please this young master.
If we can satisfy this person, then maybe he won't have to worry about such a headache anymore.
He's just a Chinese actor; you can't just kill him because he doesn't cooperate!
How could they possibly concern themselves with the affairs of important figures?
Talira looked up at Manager El, said nothing, and simply looked away.
"Get out of here, get out of here, you useless thing, just looking at you is annoying."
Willyon waved impatiently, not giving Manager El a chance to give him a second glance.
So Manager El could only slink away.
-
After Manager El left, Wilnion finally sat up a little straighter.
Where is what I asked for?
He spread his hands toward the woman in front of him, his eyes showing no lust for a beautiful woman, only indifference.
Having already failed to impress two men with her beauty today, Talila didn't even dare to hope that this young master, who knew all her secrets, would be interested in her. She simply clutched her small bag and handed over a USB drive: "This is his recent activity log. But Xiao He is far too cautious. Several times I suspected he had already figured something out, but—"
Xiao He's life was normal, even unusually regular. The several coincidences she planned went very smoothly. Apart from Xiao He's extremely disgusted attitude towards her, Talila did not find any other suspicious behavior from Xiao He.
On the contrary, they were so open that it was almost unbelievable, as if they were letting everyone come and take pictures or spy on them.
He continued living his quiet life, and no one could affect him.
Talira always felt uneasy.
Sometimes she almost suspected that Xiao He was doing it on purpose.
But what exactly did Xiao He know?
Even she herself wasn't quite sure what the person in front of her was planning to do.
That Manager El was incredibly stupid. What Wilnen told him and what he did regarding "Long" was nothing but a facade.
Manager El was merely a shield; Wilnion's true purpose was definitely more than that.
But......
What does that have to do with me?
Talira lowered her eyes, pretending not to know about these important figures' plans, since it had nothing to do with her anyway.
When Talira handed him the item, Wilnion simply waved his hand: "Put it on the table, and then you can leave—"
Then, he couldn't help but give Talira a disdainful look from head to toe.
He did initially intend for Talira to use her charms, but...
This woman is utterly useless.
Having only a physical appearance but being unable to utilize its value—that's truly a pity.
"I've been getting fewer random injections lately, and I smell like I'm rotting. It's disgusting."
Compared to others, Wilnien was much more outspoken.
Talira froze instantly.
All the previous words were far less infuriating than what Wilnion said at this moment.
Talira's perfect cheeks almost cracked.
Even her perfect smile seemed to have shrunk a few notches.
However, because of this, scenes of Xiao He frowning and covering his nose during their previous encounters flashed through her mind—at the time, Xiao He said it was because his rhinitis was acting up, and Talira thought it was just an excuse for Xiao He to avoid her, but now it seems...
Is it really because I smell bad?
Was Xiao He's reluctance to let him get close because of the smell of corruption?
Talira instinctively lowered her head, wanting to smell her own scent, but then gave a bitter laugh.
That smell, shouldn't she be very familiar with it...? She just didn't expect that Xiao He's nose was more sensitive than anyone else's.
Wilnion said that only because he knew about her past, and he was just being sarcastic.
But Xiao He... he really smelled it.
Talira finally understood why that man always avoided her every time she tried to get close.
So that's why...
Talira pursed her lips, not responding to Wilnion's sarcastic remark. Although the smell wasn't caused by her injection, but rather because she had it and therefore needed the injection, in these people's eyes, it probably made no difference.
Talira felt a little flustered, but she didn't dare to refute Wilnien's words, so she hurriedly got up and went outside the room.
...
"Xiao He!"
Inside the main hall of the event, Zhuang Hongyi and the others finally found Xiao He.
"Where have you been? We've been waiting for you for ages."
Zhuang Hongyi chuckled and teased, "I almost thought you had disappeared, and I was about to send people to look for you everywhere."
Although he knew that the security inside the venue was tight and that he was unlikely to get lost, he still didn't dare to be too careless after learning some things, lest something irreparable happen.
Xiao He smiled apologetically at everyone and explained, "Sorry, I ran into Movens and the others in the lobby just now, so I stayed a little longer."
"You and Morens seem to have a pretty good relationship?"
Zhuang Hongyi keenly grasped the key point: "Then what do you think the success rate is if we invite him to film the post-credits scene in 'Phantom Thief 3'?"
Xiao He was taken aback, not expecting Director Zhuang to think so quickly and immediately focus on Mo Wensi. However, after recalling for a moment, he still shook his head regretfully: "Mo Wensi has been building muscle and growing a beard recently, it seems he has a new film to shoot, so he probably can't participate in our filming. But if you want to find Hollywood actors to fill in the cameo, Director Zhuang, I can ask around and see if I can get a few people."
Among the Hollywood actors that Mo Wensi introduced to Xiao He last time, apart from the few actors from the Shield House, the others were also top-tier well-known actors in the industry, the kind of stars who would be called out as representative characters if they walked on the streets of China.
However, the last meeting was too brief, and they hadn't had a formal get-together, so Xiao He wasn't sure if he could help Zhuang Hongyi recruit people.
"Hehe, it's okay. It's alright if we can't get him. We can ask other people... but I still think the best candidate is Morens. If we're going to ask someone, we should ask the most famous one. Otherwise, we might as well just keep it within our own ranks. Why don't you ask Morens if he's interested in appearing in 'Phantom Thief 4'?"
Xiao He was speechless and choked with emotion: "Director Zhuang, the three of us haven't even filmed yet."
"Shouldn't we be thinking ten steps ahead for every one step we take?"
Zhuang Hongyi, on the other hand, said confidently, "Other people can make seven, eight, or nine Hollywood movies, so why can't I? Planning ahead is one of the important reasons why we continue to move forward!"
"From now on, I'll have to start looking for roles for five, six, and seven in advance, let alone four!"
Xiao He: "...Okay, it just so happens that Mo Wens invited me to a party. I'll ask him for you, Director Zhuang."
