Chapter 195: Chapter 188: Zhan Qipei’s High-Profile Confession
She actually rejected him.
Everyone present couldn’t believe their ears.
The gloomy expression on Zhan Qipei’s face vanished in an instant, his lips curved into a smile, displaying a look of satisfaction.
Once Tang Yan felt the tension around him ease, he looked toward Zhan Qipei.
The man’s face was radiantly dazzling.
Even his teeth were showing in his smile.
Seeing their normally cold and reserved boss , Tang Yan thought to himself that all men were indeed the same; he had seen his own reflection in the mirror when he was with Lin Xiuxiang.
Just like his boss’s expression right now.
Upon hearing Zhan Qipei calling him, Tang Yan stepped forward.
“Boss, do you have any instructions?”
Cao Feiyu blinked at Qiao Jing, “Is there room for negotiation?”
“None,” Qiao Jing replied, very decisively.
Late, thinking about it, isn’t Cao Feiyu someone she had known since childhood? Shouldn’t she have been a bit more tactful?
“I’m already married, as you know.”
“But, didn’t you already get a divorce?”
The conversation between Cao Feiyu and Qiao Jing stirred up a huge commotion amongst the crowd.
This girl was married before? Cao Feiyu was actually pursuing a divorced woman?
“Due to some special reasons, I am not divorcing for now,” Qiao Jing honestly answered.
“Then when will you get a divorce?”
“It will still take over two months.”
“Then should I confess to you again after two months?”
Qiao Jing frowned, “Even if I get divorced, I won’t accept your confession.”
Cao Feiyu felt like he was being stabbed by several knives at once.
Truth be told, it hurt even more than when Qiao Jing had outright rejected him just before.
“Xiao Jingjing, you really are ruthless.”
Qiao Jing wondered, was she really? If it were someone else, she wouldn’t have bothered with extra explanations or comfort, but at least just now she had expressed herself more gently.
“Cough cough—” The director cleared his throat, walking over.
“Cao Feiyu, what’s all this about? Suddenly causing such a scene, it’s lucky I had just issued a notice that no one is allowed to leak this, otherwise, all the major media platforms would crash. Do you understand that your actions just now could have blown up the entertainment industry?”
As he spoke, the director patted his chest, although he had been in the industry for many years and had seen all sorts of situations. He was still frightened by Cao Feiyu’s impulsive actions, almost having a heart attack.
“Let’s not talk about that first. Do you know this girl? She’s really married? That’s really a pity.” The director looked at Qiao Jing with a very regretful expression, shaking his head.
Hearing this, Cao Feiyu knew immediately that the director was considering scouting her.
“Her marriage was due to an arrangement by the elders, reluctantly setting a 100-day marriage agreement, which will end when the time is up.”
“Is there such a thing?” The director said, surprised, then showing a thrilled expression. “Then you must introduce me to her, this girl is too beautiful! A true goddess, especially the aura she exudes, truly captivating!”
Cao Feiyu had known it would be .
“Stop trying to get her attention. If you dare to lure her into the entertainment industry, someone from above will definitely come to talk to you.”
“Hmm? Above? What above?” The director looked at Cao Feiyu, completely confused.
Cao Feiyu curled his lips, shrugged his shoulders, and said nothing further.
“I can see it now. You’re just afraid that if she becomes famous, it’ll be even harder for you to pursue her, so you’re saying this on purpose. Fine, if you won’t introduce me, I’ll find her myself,” the director said with annoyance.
Cao Feiyu sat down, watching the director with the eyes of someone watching a good show. “How about we make a bet? If you can get her into the entertainment industry, I’ll work for you for a year, free of charge.”
The director took a few steps forward but suddenly stopped when he heard what Cao Feiyu said, turning back to look at him with a mix of scrutiny and confusion.
“Do you want me to record it so I can say it all over again?” Cao Feiyu wasn’t afraid of ending up working for free.
People generally become celebrities for two reasons: for money or for fame.
The largest shareholder of the empire’s number one traditional medicine pharmacy, Wonderful Hall, is Qiao Jing. With branches of Wonderful Hall all over the country, totaling three hundred, the annual profits are unimaginable to the average wealthy person.
Therefore, in Qiao Jing’s dictionary, the words “lack of money” simply do not exist.
Moreover, Qiao Jing has another lesser-known identity, that of the nationally renowned agriculture expert, Professor Qiao!
The prestige associated with her name is something Cao Feiyu could never match. If she wanted fame, she could have shown her face long ago. Yet to this day, the people across the nation have no idea what she looks like.
“Fine, since you said that, there’s no need for recording. I’ll go and get her over here now, and when the time comes, all you have to do is keep your promise.”
The director, full of energy, approached Qiao Jing. “Hello, I’m the director of this troupe.”
As he spoke, he handed his business card to Qiao Jing.
“Oh, is there something you need?” Qiao Jing asked, puzzled.
“Well, I’ll get straight to the point. Actually, I’m here to ask if you’re interested in joining our circle? It’s quick money and quick fame. I assure you, if you’re willing to come, you won’t lack resources. What do you think? Interested in considering it?”
“Pfft—” Cao Feiyu burst out laughing uncontrollably.
His gloom from being rejected earlier was completely dispelled.
Look at that. Anyone who talks to Qiao Jing ends up being rejected, so he didn’t have anything to be embarrassed about anymore.
At that moment, Cao Feiyu looked at the director as if he were looking at a comrade in misfortune.
The director recovered, glared at Cao Feiyu irritably, but then looked at Qiao Jing with good temper.
“Don’t you want to make money?”
“I have my own businesses under my name, and I don’t lack money for the time being,” Qiao Jing honestly answered.
The director was somewhat surprised. So, this girl is an entrepreneur?
“Don’t you want to be famous? With your looks, your future achievements could definitely surpass Cao Feiyu and make you a global goddess!” The director couldn’t help but exaggerate.
But given Qiao Jing’s beauty, the possibility of this happening was very high.
Qiao Jing shook her head. “I’m quite happy on my own. Fame is troublesome, you lose all privacy, and you have to rush around for appointments and fly everywhere. It’s annoying. I prefer gardening and cooking.”
This response gave the director a headache. He had seen content people, but had never met someone as down-to-earth and unambitious as Qiao Jing.
That… was a real challenge for him.
“Pfft—hahaha—” Cao Feiyu could no longer hold back his laughter at the director’s bizarre and complex expression. He was laughing so hard he doubled over.
Laughing as he was, Cao Feiyu suddenly stopped laughing as he looked up at the sky, his eyes widening, and he burst out a curse.
