Chapter 563: Chapter 562 Missing Him (8)
Xia Siyu snorted in disdain, “Come on, you’re at most an Erha.”
“You are!” The two bickered like elementary school students for a long time. Wang Zisu, still unconvinced, asked again, “Then you tell me, if it were Bo Yan, what kind of dog would he be?”
It was just the driver and their two groups of guests in the car. Qin Baizhou had been silent all along, but when he heard the words “Bo Yan,” he couldn’t help but glance over at her.
After thinking for a while, Xia Siyu, although she always referred to him internally as a dog of a man, hadn’t ever really considered what kind of dog he would be. The guy seemed aloof on the surface but was actually pretty sleazy inside, always knowing where to find meat. To say he was an Erha wouldn’t be right—he was too intelligent. To compare him to a Border Collie or a German Shepherd wouldn’t fit either; those breeds were very obedient. He also wasn’t like the warm-hearted Qin Baizhou. If someone was warm-hearted, they could be considered a Labrador or a Golden Retriever.
After much thought, she finally said, “He’d be a wolf-dog, I guess.”
Part wolf, part dog, sometimes arrogant and sometimes fierce, and always hungry for meat!
It was a good thing there were no cameras or microphones in the car. Otherwise, if a star’s private backbiting about a fellow actor was broadcast, it could have sparked another round of public outcry.
Qin Baizhou heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. Once Xia Siyu and Wang Zisu moved on from the topic of Bo Yan and began discussing other things, he let his guard down.
Actually, he was quite adept at socializing. However, he felt a bit awkward now, since Zhou Weiwei was under Wang Zisu’s talent agency, and they were negotiating to transfer her to their Huixing company.
After all, taking someone from another agency was sensitive, especially with Wang Zisu’s agent right there. Xia Siyu was known for speaking without a filter, and there was a chance she could bring up Zhou Weiwei. He’d be stuck whether he tried to explain or not—it really was a bit awkward.
Last time, Zhou Weiwei had provided him with an idea, and thanks to that, he had successfully discovered Xia Siyu’s background. Although Qin Baizhou was cunning, he wasn’t the type to kick someone to the curb once he’d used them. Zhou Weiwei had helped him, and in return, he kept in contact as promised, preparing to sign her under management with his company.
Besides, having another person like Zhou Weiwei would help with the film company’s IPO, as the Securities Regulatory Commission would want to see the financial reports.
Zhou Weiwei might not have significant commercial value, and her price was reasonable, but she was well-known after years in the industry, and her addition would be beneficial to the company. Since both parties were willing, the negotiations went rather smoothly.
But with an unspoken understanding, neither mentioned it to Xia Siyu until the deal was nearly finalized. Zhou Weiwei had a bit of a refined self-interest about her. One might say she betrayed Xia Siyu’s secrets, but in reality, she hadn’t said anything. She never revealed that Siyu was the Xia Family heiress or disclosed her relationship with Bo Yan.
However, she indeed provided Qin Baizhou with an idea. Whether he could find the information or not depended on his own ability. She wouldn’t outright sell out a teammate and wouldn’t leave any evidence behind.
It was just like how she dealt with Li Weiyi in the past, letting Xia Siyu handle it because she couldn’t do it herself.
Xia Siyu also might not have been completely unaware of her little schemes, but genuine hearts were rare in the entertainment industry. As long as Zhou Weiwei didn’t outright betray her or stab her at a critical moment, Siyu couldn’t be bothered to care.
However, once they reached the destination and before the camera caught them, Qin Baizhou went ahead and told her, “Zhou Weiwei’s contract is almost up, and she’s interested in joining our company. She just contacted us, so I didn’t have a chance to tell you.”
Xia Siyu clearly hadn’t thought that far and even laughed, “Isn’t that a good thing? I’ll go ask her.”
