Chapter 126: Chapter 126: Want My Contact Information?
“And there were too many people on set at the time, a paparazzo sneaked in. Since Sister Xin and I have been quite popular as a on-screen couple recently, he aimed his camera at us. The photos he took were all opportunistic, captured in the moment. Then with some fans’ wild imaginations, they morphed into us ‘taking our acting into our actual lives,’ which was completely groundless.”
Aside from acting in the drama, I don’t even have Sister Xin’s WeChat in real life! If you don’t believe me, I can swear on my gender!”
She vehemently explained herself half the day, and on the other end of the phone, there was silence as if no one was listening.
Ye Xian, “CEO? CEO… do you believe me?”
The CEO wouldn’t simply want to ignore her explanation and straightaway write her off, perhaps using this as a chance to extort some benefits regarding Zero Degree from her, right? Otherwise, why would a Bo’s CEO bother about her minor scandal?
While she was paranoid about Feifei, the man’s deep voice came through again.
Ye Xian decisively shook her head, “That’s all.”
“When will the clothes be delivered?”
Such a sudden shift in topic! Could the real reason the CEO called be to inquire about the clothes? Too embarrassed to state it plainly, he took a roundabout way by mentioning the online incident to scare her, right? He can’t seriously be worried she’d pocket his two sets of expensive tailored suits, can he?
“They’ve already been sent to the dry cleaners, but the staff mentioned that the wine stains are a bit tricky and will need some time. Don’t worry, CEO, as soon as they’re clean, I’ll deliver them to you right away!”
Seeing him about to hang up, Ye Xian hastily interjected, “Wait a sec, wait a sec~ CEO, have you had a chance to watch Business World during your free times after meals or tea? What do you think about my performance? Isn’t my acting a bit beyond your expectations, warranting better resources?”
Ye Xian’s hint couldn’t be any clearer, her intentions as obvious as the heart of Sima Zhao.
Business World also counts as a workplace drama after all. Someone like a CEO who’s a workplace expert would likely choose this kind of drama, right?
She bit her lip in anticipation of praise, but unexpectedly, there was a chilling voice mixed with the rustling of busy signing in the background, “I don’t have time to watch cartoons.”
Ye Xian, “…”. That’s way too harsh! Even though the workplace part was slightly dramatized, but cartoons? Is it that foolish?
Workplace experts really know how to insult someone circuitously.
“Heh heh…” Ye Xian laughed awkwardly, “There’s always a bit of a gap between art and reality, right? But the responses to my part of the drama were quite positive. Even Li Jiahua and Jiang Wen thought after watching that I am a moldable talent. If you don’t agree, CEO, it must mean I just need a better script to showcase myself, which in turn could bring in money for Star Entertainment, killing two birds with one stone. What do you think?”
Bo Tingshen struck right to the point.
Ye Xian nodded eagerly like a pecking chicken, “Absolutely astute, CEO!”
“Trade three percent points of Zero Degree for it.”
Ye Xian, “Let’s pretend I didn’t say anything.”
Ye Xian nearly crushed her phone, took a deep breath to calm herself before reluctantly continuing, “Just one last thing, CEO, the dry cleaning bill for your clothes comes to sixteen thousand eight hundred. Would you like to pay via Alipay or WeChat?”
Bo Tingshen abruptly stopped signing, his gaze lifting from the paper, and his thin lips slowly curved into a mocking smile. “Looking for my contact information?”
Ye Xian, “???” Mr. CEO, how did you come up with that idea?
