Chapter 968: Liuxi, Mind Your Language

Recognizing Mo Liuxi who was sitting in front of him, his dark eyes wore a faint awkward look. But soon, that look faded. He composedly bowed to Li Ming, then started his performance.

Li Ming was delighted after watching his performance. It was not as bad as he thought it would be.

He Jian clapped and said, “s.h.i.+ Xiang, I never thought you were good at acting.”

Mo Liuxi lazily raised his eyes and said, “Yes. His acting skills are okay, compared to those who know nothing about acting.”

s.h.i.+ Xiang’s expression froze on his handsome face. Awkwardly, he said in a low voice, “I know that I still need to improve myself in many ways. Director Li, please tell me anything that is on your mind about my performance.”

Li Ming rubbed the spot between his eyebrows, then nodded.

Sitting beside Li Ming, Mo Liuxi took a sip of water, then continued, “I have a question. Mr. s.h.i.+, aren’t you a singer? You were doing good as a singer. Why did you suddenly decide to become an actor? To be honest, the doorsill for acting is getting lower and lower. Currently, I’m seeing singers, hosts, and comedy performers do cross-border acting work.”

s.h.i.+ Xiang wore an embarra.s.sed look. He raised his head, looking at Mo Liuxi in the eyes.

He Jian frowned slightly and said, “Liuxi, mind your language. Cross-border work is normal. Many of our actors and actresses are working as singers.”

“The problem is, I don’t think he has great music work.” Mo Liuxi turned the water bottle in his hands, maintaining his cold tone of speaking.

“Director Mo, I guess you’re still mad at me because of what happened in Shanghai.” s.h.i.+ Xiang smiled and said, “It was not my choice that Miss Xu got replaced. That was the company’s business.”

“All right. Now is not the time to talk about personal issues.” Li Ming interrupted him, then glanced at Mo Liuxi and said to him with a low voice, “There’s no reason to argue.”

Mo Liuxi undid the b.u.t.ton below his collarbone, then stood up and said lazily, “Since we have chosen the supporting actor, I think I have no reason to stay here. You guys take your time to select the rest of them.”

After saying that, he turned and left.

He Jian was a little unhappy. In front of the others, he said to Li Ming, “Why is he so arrogant? His work is well-received internationally, but this is China. Who knows if his work will still do good here?”

Li Ming smiled at him, then explained saying, “You may not know, but he has every right to be arrogant. He is the major shareholder of Luoxi Films; his mother is an heir of the Morrison Family from Luxembourg; his brother-in-law is Nian Junting, the owner of Shengting. Do I need to explain to you who Nian Junting is? Currently, his sister is pregnant. She is like the national treasure in the Nian Family. Would she ever let her little brother suffer any unfairness?”

He Jiang didn’t know what to say.

s.h.i.+ Xiang frowned. He didn’t know that Mo Liuxi was Xu Luosang’s brother.

No wonder…

Xu Luosang was Yan Su’s good friend, and Yan Su was selected to do the theme song. Did it have anything to do with Mo Liuxi?

…

Yan Su stayed at the company to work on the song with her team until 6:00 p.m. As she arrived downstairs at her apartment, she saw that Mo Liuxi’s light was on.

She went upstairs, hesitated briefly, then walked to his door and knocked on it.

Before long, Mo Liuxi opened the door. He was wearing knee-length pajama pants, with his upper body bare. His muscular chest was covered in water droplets. His hair was newly washed as well. While opening the door, he was drying his wet hair with a white towel. His fingers were clean and slender.
