As long as any big boss took a fancy to her and was willing to invest in a film for her, her rise to fame was absolutely assured!
In this crowd, the only one who remained unfazed was Yu Zexiao.
He didn’t care about knowing people or not; he just found it annoying. What he hated most in life were these insincere parties, where everyone was dressed to the nines and putting on airs—all while desperately hoping to hook up with a rich person, using any means necessary.
Besides, considering his status, did he really need to stoop to the level of these foolish, moneyed boors?
However, this time he probably couldn’t escape the party. After all, this time Huasi Film and Television was not only the biggest investor in "Rock Youth" but also in the midst of collaboration with Starlight Entertainment. Yin Maohui had made it abundantly clear that he had to attend the party, nose-pinched or not. Perhaps, they might even sign the rights to the English version of his next album to Huasi Film and Television.
If he had to go, fine, just don’t expect him to grovel and suck up to those Huasi Film and Television folks.
Once the director said they could leave, Zexiao downed the last sip of his coffee, placed the cup on the table, and commandingly strode out with a "Let’s go."
Jian Anning immediately began to pack up her things, intending to leave as well.
During the last incident on the yacht, she had made a promise—if he didn’t let go, she wouldn’t leave.
Though not lovers, she valued commitment.
And besides... Yu Zexiao was somewhat restrained; since that day, he hadn’t laid a hand on her again. But that didn’t mean there hadn’t been changes.
Even though he remained arrogant, his attitude towards her had improved significantly.
What Jian Anning didn’t know was that Yu Zexiao always acted on his mood. When his mood was good, he naturally thought about "keeping warm and pondering desire." But these days, he had been busy filming, sometimes working through the night, barely ensuring time to sleep, let alone the mood to care about other matters.
However, tonight seemed possible.
He had rushed to finish filming tomorrow’s scenes in advance, meaning he didn’t need to come in tomorrow.
Which meant—if not for the damned party he had to attend tonight, he could spend the whole day and two nights with Jian Anning!
Heh, he didn’t believe that with his abilities, he couldn’t handle a small assistant!
He was determined to make her willingly climb into his bed!
Yu Zexiao stood up in high spirits, and Jiang Xuanqi immediately walked over gracefully, cooing, "Zexiao~~~"
Last time on the yacht, she had suffered a major embarrassment. However, her assistant quickly fixed her clothes and hairstyle and changed her into flat shoes. By the time the media arrived to take photos, although she looked somewhat exhausted, she had managed to maintain her composure in front of others and hadn’t been too embarrassed.
The crew of "Rock Youth" had also laid down a strict order: any incident that could affect the actors’ image must be nipped in the bud. Therefore, after experiencing her initial gloominess early in the day, Jiang Xuanqi regrouped and continued flitting around the set like a colorful butterfly.
Especially when she realized that Yu Zexiao bore no resentment towards her and maintained a public acceptance of their rumored affair for the sake of the drama’s buzz, her mood brightened even more.
