My Ex-husband Asked Me to Remarry Him Every Day

Chapter 189: Chapter 189: Does a Suitor Live in the Pursued One’s Home?

Qiao Xi sat down on the sofa.

Shen Dang naturally crossed his legs, with a kind of indolent grace that others simply couldn’t imitate.

Qiao Xi looked up at him, "What did you want to talk to me about?"

"I’ve accepted your proposal," Shen Dang said.

Just like that?

Shen Dang’s voice remained calm and steady, "I can show you the evaluation reports for Qiao Group and GK, but you must understand that the forty-five percent of Qiao shares you hold cannot be exchanged for an equivalent percentage of GK shares."

Now the entire GK was under Shen Dang’s name, meaning he had one hundred percent control.

After changing its legal representative, Shen Dang had been thinking about taking GK public.

He alone held a dominant share, and before that, he had to issue new shares. His original plan was to let Meng Jing and two partners from IDC Capital invest.

Now with Qiao Xi added to the mix, using a share exchange to facilitate his acquisition of Qiao’s actually saved him a lot of manpower and resources.

Including Meng Jing and another person investing in GK, with Qiao Xi, there would be three stakeholders in total.

Based on GK’s current market value, she could at most acquire twenty percent of GK’s shares.

Qiao Xi nodded, "Of course, I understand. After all, GK is different from Qiao’s. It’s all business."

Boss Shen’s phrase "I’m a businessman" was deeply engrained in her.

Shen Dang smiled faintly, "Then let’s talk again after you’ve terminated your contract with Le Entertainment."

"Sure," Qiao Xi said. "Then I’ll visit you at GK later."

Qiao Xi wanted to get this matter over with and return to the film crew as soon as possible. Time was of the essence.

Shen Dang lazily "hmmed" in response.

Qiao Xi felt their talk had gone rather well and she breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I’ll go back to my room now."

Shen Dang glanced at her, "What, you’re running off after getting what you want?"

Hearing this, Qiao Xi was displeased, "I’m not getting GK shares for nothing, how is this a benefit to me?"

Shen Dang leaned against the sofa, appearing even more languid, "I wouldn’t exchange shares with anyone else, just you."

Qiao Xi scoffed, "But no one else can offer you forty-five percent of the shares either."

As if she had gained such a great benefit.

Shen Dang’s handsome face was composed as he looked at her with a calm demeanor, "Fair point."

"So I should be able to go back now that we’ve finished talking, right?"

"The business talk is over, and there’s no personal matter to discuss?"

Shen Dang slouched, resting his head on his hand, a smirk on his lips as his dark eyes locked onto her face.

"None!"

"There is," he said with a laugh. "I’ll take you to Le Entertainment tomorrow."

Qiao Xi glanced away, not looking at him, "If you’re free, then go ahead."

"As a suitor, of course, I have the time."

His words carried a hint of self-mockery.

Qiao Xi: "..."

She wondered if he had seen the note on her phone.

Qiao Xi was about to leave when she suddenly asked, "Boss Shen, you’re not planning on staying at my place indefinitely, are you?"

Shen Dang replied with a lazy question, "Would Teacher Qiao not allow it?"

Qiao Xi took a deep breath and continued, "Do pursuers usually live at their pursuee’s house?"

What was incredible to Qiao Xi was that she had already gotten used to sharing a space with Shen Dang.

Indeed, habit was a fearsome thing.

Shen Dang said as if it were a matter of fact, "I don’t know about others, but there’s one now, and besides, I have to guard against Grandpa’s surprise attacks."

Qiao Xi thought he was shameless: "You’re making things up! Grandpa hasn’t made a video call in a long time!"

Shen Dang clicked his tongue, "That’s because he doesn’t know you’re in Hai City."

At that, Qiao Xi abruptly paused.

She adjusted her sitting position, leaning her crossed legs towards him, "Or maybe we should just come clean to Grandpa?"

It was like a ticking time bomb that could go off any day.

"Not yet, not until I’ve won you over," Shen Dang said with determination.

Qiao Xi: "..."

She was at a loss for words.

...

The next day.

Shen Dang escorted Qiao Xi out.

She had kept the contract she signed with Le Entertainment at Sheng Birch Mansion, so Qiao Xi had Shen Dang drive there first.

Once they had the contract, they both headed to Le Entertainment Company.

Halfway there, Wang Li called, "Xixi, where are you?"

Qiao Xi glanced at a road sign, "We’re on our way. We should arrive at Le Entertainment in about ten minutes."

"That’s fine, I’ll wait for you downstairs."

"Okay."

They hung up after a brief exchange.

Qiao Xi put away her phone and told Shen Dang, "I’ll handle it with Sister Li and President Fang once we arrive; you don’t need to show up."

Shen Dang gave her a look, "Sure, whatever makes you happy, Teacher Qiao, okay?"

There was a profound meaning in Shen Dang’s eyes.

Qiao Xi: "..."

Weirdo Boss Shen.

Qiao Xi hesitated before saying, "After it’s over, I’ll go to GK with Brother Jiayan, and we can discuss the share swap."

Shen Dang still responded, "Sure, as you wish."

When the car stopped outside the Le Entertainment Building, Qiao Xi unbuckled her seatbelt and got out, "Go back to your company."

Shen Dang waved her off, "Alright, see you later."

Qiao Xi and Wang Li took the elevator up.

Unable to resist gossiping, Wang Li asked, "Your husband personally brought you here?"

Qiao Xi curved her lips slightly, "Yeah, I forgot to tell you last night, I’m planning to collaborate with GK. I’ll explain more after the contract is resolved."

Wang Li: "...Alright."

It seemed there was no need for her, as an agent, to worry anymore. An artist like Qiao Xi sure made her job much easier, right?

Knowing Qiao Xi was coming today, President Fang waited for her in his office.

Qiao Xi and Wang Li entered.

"President Fang."

Both smiled.

"Come in, take a seat."

President Fang set aside his magazine and ordered his secretary to bring in a few cups of coffee while they took seats on the guest sofa.

"Is ’Detective in the Republic’ wrapped up?" President Fang asked with a smile.

Qiao Xi smiled back, "It’s about to wrap up. Zhi Fei has done very well before, she has great potential."

Upon this, President Fang’s expression changed slightly. He really wanted to support Wei Xue, and thinking about her current situation, which was all because of Qiao Xi, the femme fatale, right?

But he quickly smiled again.

Zhi Fei belonged to Le Entertainment; her success was good for the company as well.

Unchanged in demeanor, President Fang said, "You are a senior at Le Entertainment, those newcomers should learn from you."

"The entertainment industry is small; in the future, you might actually work with artists from Le Entertainment."

Qiao Xi smiled.

"Qiao Xi, you’ve had quite a good run at Le Entertainment. The company received an S+ TV drama script, and I immediately thought of you," President Fang said, now truly the smiling tiger with hidden intentions.

Was he pretending to forget all their unpleasantness?

At the brink of their contract’s end, President Fang suddenly became magnanimous, mentioning an S+ script for her.

It was laughable, really.

Qiao Xi smiled faintly, her lips curving slightly, in a beauty that was both vivid and cool, "Thank you for your consideration, President Fang, but I am here today about the contract. The S+ script, we can talk about it another time."
