Chapter 787: Chapter 778 Farewell (6) Chapter 787: Chapter 778 Farewell (6) The ones picking her up from the airport were naturally Wei Jingjing and Little Tang. Xia Siyu had originally promised to return yesterday morning, but the delay dragged on until today. She had no choice but to continue requesting leave from the film crew.
It’s quite common for celebrities to take a break due to health issues or some unforeseen events. However, the situation was quite special at the moment—Qin Baizhou, who had not been paying much attention to her before, showed up this morning.
Qin Baizhou couldn’t really control Xia Siyu, but he could control Wei Jingjing. Qin Baizhou arrived unannounced in the morning, and his visit was not just for Xia Siyu, but also for the Huixing Company’s listing on the stock market. Yet, when Qin Baizhou called, Wei Jingjing didn’t know that his car had already arrived at the hotel downstairs, and she lied as soon as she spoke, “Siyu is… she’s busy.”
“Then I’ll visit the set,” Qin Baizhou said, still unaware of Xia Siyu’s leave of absence. Lately, Xia Siyu had been obediently filming, and aside from those inexplicable rumors, she had been quite quiet. An investor in the film had praised Xia Siyu for her dedication to her work while discussing the listing over drinks a few days ago. He said that due to the rumors, the publicity wasn’t bad, and if the final cut turned out well, the sales wouldn’t be poor. He also mentioned that Xia Siyu was very hardworking, waking up early and sleeping late, always staying on set without rest—he certainly didn’t know that Xia Siyu’s recent diligence was to free up two days to spend with Bo Yan.
Qin Baizhou was pleased, and with the review of various information for the listing completed, the company expected to go public early next year if nothing went wrong. The company had already begun internal share subscription. So far, Xia Siyu had not yet signed a contract renewal, and although she showed no resistance to renewal, she had yet to sign. Internally, the company debated whether she wanted to subscribe to the company’s shares.
Given Xia Siyu’s status today, it wasn’t impossible for her to propose subscribing to original shares and becoming a company shareholder. To ensure Xia Siyu’s renewal and to use her as a figurehead to attract investors after listing, the company executives indeed had several rounds of discussions. If she was willing, they debated how many shares to offer her.
Both professionally and personally, Qin Baizhou hoped that Xia Siyu would stay. That was also his mission for coming this time, especially since her contract was set to expire in a few months.
When Wei Jingjing heard that Qin Baizhou was planning to visit the set, wouldn’t that just expose that Xia Siyu wasn’t filming? Qin Baizhou hated being lied to, and he could tell at a glance if someone was deceiving him. Wei Jingjing bit her lip, “Actually… Siyu is feeling a little unwell, so she took some time off. If Qin doesn’t have anything else, he can come and check on her this afternoon.”
“Is she sick?” Qin Baizhou was indeed anxious. He was about to instruct his driver to leave when he got out of his car, “I’m right below the hotel, which room is she in? I’ll come up and see. If it’s serious, she must see a doctor.”
“Ah?” Wei Jingjing was stunned, not expecting Qin Baizhou to arrive so soon. She struggled to find words, “Siyu, she…”
“What exactly is wrong with her?” Qin Baizhou came to a halt, “If you don’t tell the truth…”
“She went to see Bo Yan! She’s been gone for two or three days and is coming back today. She just messaged me that her plane has taken off; I’ll go pick her up shortly,” Wei Jingjing quickly sold out Xia Siyu without any backbone.
