OPEN YOUR MASK, PRINCESS!
Episode 16 CHANCE APPROACHING YOU
The full moon hid behind the black clouds. A dense cloud hung in the night sky of the Capital. A swish of cold wind blew in blowing the long white curtain tied to the ribbon knot. Xiao Jun accidentally opened the room window wide. Tonight is a good time to try the ritual again. Loaded with a yin yang motif carpet, a yellow incense glow on top of a hiolo, a patkwa compass board, a long sword and an ancient golden bell, Xiao Jun consecrated the mantra in a standing position.
“Gu rum o ram cat tap.. show who the sender of the magic is. Do as I command!” Xiao Jun swung his long sword towards the top then stuck it in the middle of the Yin Yang symbol under the carpet. Orb
the black-and-white color emitted a dazzling red radiance throughout the room. Xiao Jun exerted a deep force to control the beam in order to poke out the compass board. Out there the rain began to fall, speckled with the sound of lightning increasingly dramatic conditions. The young man was almost out of steam, he ducked in a position still sticking a sword.
Bruckk…. “Aaarrgghh!”
Xiao Jun bounced with his back against the wall of his room. Damnit damnit! why doesn't this work anymore? His emotions were stirring, he could not accept failure for the umpteenth time. Her magic ability is quite good in Hong Kong, but seems to be meaningless when in Jakarta.
“Young Master, are you hurt?” Lau hurriedly pushed Xiao Jun onto the bed. The sound of irregular breathing from her employer made Lau very anxious. Xiao Jun immediately lay down as Lau carried him sitting on top
bed.
“Uncle, I failed again. Why is my energy so weak here?” Lau thrust out a glass of warm mineral water then immediately scooped Xiao Jun. He still did not understand because of the weakening of the Young Master's strength.
“This is indeed strange sir, you open a layman in the eastern magic world but it seems like something is blocking your energy.” Lau speculates on his thinking and ability to analyze problems. Although he did not have any magic talent, but as a descendant of the Wei clan who was indeed hereditary superior in the field of magic, his young master must have such hereditary talent.
Xiao Jun seemed to be thinking. Something that blocks it may be because the magic is not yet at the level of the sender so that when he approaches the source, it is precisely his power that is absorbed and he cannot penetrate the power
that party.
“Maybe I have to practice again before facing it.” In his current state, Xiao Jun had no choice but to. He couldn't have gone back to Hong Kong that soon or Li San would have suspected him.

“Yak, keep her smile!” Cekrek…
“Weini, Steven is more affectionate. Well that's it, hold it!”
The shooting lasted less than an hour. Weini and Steven are working hard on their new soap opera cover that will begin airing next week. Weini was awkward with experience
first as a photo model. It was fortunate that Steven did not mind directing it, and that nervousness slowly vanished from Weini's heart.
“OK wrap! Steady for Weini and Steven, the chemistry dapet terribly.” Photographers praised the compatibility of the pair in the soap opera to make Weini blush.
Bams was no less happy to see the smooth shooting of Weini's premiere. He felt his feeling of choosing Weini was right. The girl quickly learned new things. Bams had high hopes for him. He believes Weini will be the brightest star in the entertainment world.
Plok plok plok. “Nice Job today! Btw, Weini lo there is still one single shooting session. We break for a moment to prepare ya.”
“Create cover also yes brother?”
“No no no.. make CV lo. Every artist has that and it is required from management.”
Bams was about to explain more details to Weini but a staff creator took his time. The two men engaged in a serious conversation before Weini, but their voices were barely audible. Weini was amused by it, the two men in front of her whispered in serious chatter rather than looking for a more practical place to talk. Weini involuntarily laughed.
“Some funny huh?” the familiar man's voice cut through Weini's mind. He looked at his sweet co-star and smiled kindly.
“Emmm Weini's reply deliberately provoked Steven's curiosity.
The two of them had already shot several episodes together but until the shooting session now, there had not been a chance to engage in casual chat. Weini always come to the location in a short time and immediately
“We haven't talked much since we knew. Btw, thank you very much thanks to your flexible acting talent, our filming smoothly mulu.” Steven stared fixedly at Weini, the compliment was right from his heart.
“Ah, that's right I learned from you. We can be smooth also thanks to you and other players who are already professional.” Weini shifted her gaze so as not to look at each other. Steven's eyes seemed to have a magnet that pulled him attached. He blushed he had to meet a man's gaze.
Steven knew Weini was wrong, he smiled triumphantly. Next, he will continue his approach. “Oya, where do you live? Who knows we're in the same direction. I'm at Bintaro.”
“I'm in grogol hehe.”
Bams approached those who were familiar with joking. The work atmosphere was pleasant for Weini, even more pleasant than at school. It is more appreciated here.
“Oke guys, stop talking first. Weini you come with me to the casting room now!” Bams glanced cynically at Steven, he blatantly showed his displeasure. Steven was uncomfortable with Bams' gaze but did not understand why the director behaved so.
Weini waved to Steven before turning around and catching up to his missed move from Bams. Weini's footsteps grew louder as Bams waited in the elevator that was still open for her.
The production house under Bams management has five floors. The number of employees here is approximately two hundred people who are divided into various divisions. Weini feels very lucky to be joining the management of this prestigious artist. Feels like a dream, an alienated girl in school can get a chance to become a star.
“Gue just got an offer from a new company to make an ad. The terms proposed by prospective clients are rather challenging so I have to open casting.”
Weini listened seriously though did not understand what purpose Bams was telling this for.
“They ask for an advertising star that does master kung fu, or at least there is a basiclah. As far as I know, my patron artist no one knows kung fu. But I don't know yet if you, as a child yesterday afternoon.”
Weini auto grin when heard the word ‘anak yesterday afternoon’. Seniorita's smell is the boss.
“So?” Tanya Weini was brief.
“So now I want to casting you!” Firm Bams full of spirit.
“A where can I..” Weini hesitate. Although he mastered kung fu that Haris taught, but Haris always reminded him not to show off and look for problems because of his ability. Weini had never demonstrated the ability of martial arts. If for work purposes, can Haris understand?
“Not tried where to know. Weini.. if you pass the casting, this is very good for your career. Imagine you are a newcomer who is daunted again known to the public, and you can immediately advertise. Wow... I can predict your popularity can ngalain primadona at this time, tuh Si Lisa is a saucy capital doang.”
“So... The most famous Lisa now? Ntar he hates me more dong, thought take his job again.” A pessimistic tone flashed from Weini's lips. Is there no other way to go about ngetop than to have to compete with the one called Lisa?
“Hahaha... what to think? The name is also the world of entertainment, rising and dim pamor is common. If there is no skill, it is also difficult to keep going. Yes unless he wants to be a sensational artist who jacks up the name using cheap gossip.” Bams was still reluctant to give up on trying Weini's abilities. He did not fully know what kind of pent-up talent Weini had.
“It's that job competition here?” Weini never imagined the complexity behind the success of an artist. Before he dabbled in this profession, it was always a fool's time with gossip, soap operas or
television show. But now he was already sprayed, inevitably he had to go wet.
“More precisely this is the fact. Okay we test it first, if indeed your windfall will not go where. The important thing is you don't dam anything you can. Eject everything!”
“Good.”
Don't waste your time on people who don't respect you, no one can hurt you if you don't let them.
