Qiao Xi didn’t care who else was coming, but when she saw Shen Dang appear, she was still viciously stunned for a moment.
Foes on a narrow road.
At this moment, this was the only thought in Qiao Xi’s mind.
Shen Dang had a tall and straight figure, his height of 188 cm making him exceptionally towering, blocking the view behind him.
Therefore, when Qiao Xi saw there was a woman behind Shen Dang, her brow furrowed instantly.
Even the slight haze of alcohol in her vanished completely. Googlᴇ search ɴovᴇl(ꜰ)ir(e).nᴇt
Why was Shen Dang with Jian Yi?
She cast her gaze downward, and in an instant, she understood.
Upon seeing Shen Dang, Tang Yin got up from his seat, "Ah Dang, you’ve arrived."
His tone was quite friendly.
Shen Dang, "I’m late, Director Tang, please take a seat."
Jian Yi greeted the two directors and the film emperor with a posture of easy grace.
Shen Dang sat down on the couch, and Jian Yi, seeing Qiao Xi, also pretended not to see her, sitting beside Shen Dang as proudly as a white swan.
If Shen Dang was willing to bring her along, he must have taken a liking to her.
She had to secure Shen Dang tonight!
Jian Yi acted as if she had just noticed Qiao Xi, "Oh, Sister Xi is here too, what a coincidence."
Qiao Xi lifted her eyes, revealing a smile, "Indeed quite the coincidence."
Today, Qiao Xi was dressed in a black long gown, exuding a cool demeanor, her exposed skin highlighted even more pale.
Even the faint smile at the corner of her lips was bright and eye-catching, as if illuminating the somewhat dim private room.
A person’s aura is most unforgettable.
Tang Yin took a second glance at her.
Jian Yi now hated Qiao Xi to the bone, having snatched her endorsement and still acting so self-righteous.
Does she have no shame?
Leaning against Shen Dang, she had the mind to tattle, "President Shen, I don’t know why the cosmetic endorsement that was initially in touch with me ended up in Sister Xi’s hands. Although the internet is saying my endorsement was stolen, I don’t think Sister Xi is that kind of person."
Only then did Shen Dang look at Qiao Xi. The woman’s eyes were cast down, not looking at him, and it was even harder to see the emotions in her eyes.
Shen Dang frowned slightly, his disgust apparent, "If I were the brand owner, of course, I would also value capable people."
He curved his lips in a light smile, showing no concern for the fact that this was the person he had brought.
He had also seen the comparison of the two perfume advertisements. This advertising queen might as well hand the title over to Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi felt a little relieved in her heart.
It seemed Shen Dang was not yet blind, and thankfully he didn’t say anything that would make her want to beat him up.
Jian Yi clenched her teeth in vexation. She had spoken so clearly, was Shen Dang not going to support her?
What was he really thinking?
As Jian Yi met Shen Dang’s deep gaze, about to say something, she crashed into that cold depth in his eyes, freezing her as if she were turned to ice.
That look was terrifying.
Jian Yi’s body shook, involuntarily letting go of Shen Dang’s arm.
Tang Yin had not expected Shen Dang to bring a woman over, unsure if he intended to promote Jian Yi.
"Ah Dang, I should state this first, you can’t arbitrarily add people to my production," Tang Yin said, his status such that even some capitalists had to show him respect.
He was indeed preparing a movie, currently in need of a female lead, but not just anyone could be his female lead.
And Shen Dang was the sole investor in this movie.
Shen Dang lightly tugged the corner of his mouth, "Director Tang, rest assured, I would not do something to ruin your film."
Tang Yin was synonymous with box office and reputation.
"That puts me at ease."
"Why is Miss Qiao here?" Shen Dang lifted his alluring gaze, looking straight at Qiao Xi.
His encounter with Qiao Xi was somewhat unexpected.
Since their last meeting in South City, they hadn’t contacted each other for a week.
He hadn’t expected Qiao Xi to appear here.
Qiao Xi responded, "Director Guo said Director Tang was here, I have long admired Director Tang’s reputation and took the opportunity to come and see."
"Hm, I remember that you originally acted in movies."
Tang Yin gave Qiao Xi a third glance.
Could it be that the person Shen Dang wanted to promote was her?
Director Guo swept his gaze between the two, puzzled. It seemed like last time it was President Chen who asked Qiao Xi to accompany this boss, which upset the gentleman.
Was there something fishy between these two?
Qiao Xi met Shen Dang’s gaze, "Boss Shen has good memory."
Didn’t he already know? Feigning ignorance.
Shen Dang slightly tilted his exquisitely chiseled chin upward, "Director Tang, what do you think about choosing her for the female lead in your movie?"
He was half-joking, half-serious.
Seeing his nonchalant manner, everyone present couldn’t quite grasp his attitude.
If you want to promote someone, just say it outright—why be so roundabout?
Big Boss is truly Big Boss.
Tang Yin looked towards Qiao Xi again, "..."
Who was it that just said they wouldn’t ruin his film?
What was he trying to do now?
Didn’t he hear what Director Tang just said?
Was this guy deliberately damaging her image in front of Director Tang?
Qiao Xi picked up a glass of wine, "I’m well aware that I’m not yet capable enough to work with Director Tang. Boss Shen, let’s not joke about this."
Tang Yin seemed to appreciate her self-awareness, looking much happier, "Maybe there will be a chance to cooperate in the future."
Qiao Xi smiled, her eyes serious, "Director Tang, I will work hard."
To make Director Tang notice her.
After finishing a glass of wine, Qiao Xi made an excuse to go to the restroom and stayed outside for a long time without entering.
"Sister Xi, what do we do now?"
Her phone vibrated once in her hand, Qiao Xi opened it, and a message caught her eye.
[Whatever: Don’t leave yet.]
[Whatever: There’s something.]
Qiao Xi snorted discontentedly in her heart, was she supposed to wait just because he told her to?
Qiao Xi put away her phone, "Let’s go."
Bei Bei sighed, "Ah, are we just leaving ?"
"Otherwise? I was only here to make my presence known to Director Tang. Did you really think he would choose me for the female lead?"
"If he doesn’t choose you, it’s Director Tang’s loss!"
Bei Bei was Qiao Xi’s top fan.
Qiao Xi tapped Bei Bei’s forehead, "I’m touched by your words, but don’t say it again next time."
Qiao Xi messaged Director Guo that she had something urgent and left with Bei Bei. Just as they reached the ground floor, her phone rang.
Qiao Xi signaled for Bei Bei to get in the car first and then answered the call, "What’s up?"
"What does that mean?"
"I need your help with something, come up, I’m waiting for you."
What was Whatever up to now?
"Bei Bei, go back to the hotel."
Bei Bei leaned on the car window, "Sister Xi, what are you up to?"
"Just a little personal matter to deal with."
Qiao Xi returned to the hotel and pressed the button for the seventeenth floor.
She arrived at room 1707. The door was ajar, so she pushed it open and entered.
There was a fragrance wafting through the room, and while she didn’t see Shen Dang’s figure, she saw the person on the bed.
Who else could it be if not Jian Yi?
He had already brought someone to the hotel, so why call her here?
Qiao Xi gritted her teeth, "Shen Dang!"
The bathroom door opened, and Shen Dang came out in the hotel’s bathrobe.
Qiao Xi’s expression turned cold, "What are you doing? Even if you want a divorce, there’s no need for this. I will divorce you, there’s no need for me to stay here!"
Was this just so she could watch their little show?
