Chapter 232: Chapter 232 Another Day That Can’t See The Light

Qiao Xi softly replied, "Okay, I’ll come over in a bit."

Qiao Xi looked around and, seeing no one, got into Shen Dang’s car.

Boss Shen raised an eyebrow at her sneaky appearance, "Do I really look that shady?"

Qiao Xi looked up at him, "Do you actually want to be seen?"

Shen Dang smiled, shifting the topic, "Are you hungry? I’ll take you to eat first."

Not long ago, a video suddenly appeared online. A girl stated that all she wanted from a partner was to be taken out for meals.

That became a trending joke on the internet for a while.

Qiao Xi thought to herself, are the standards for choosing a partner so low nowadays that no one cares about compatibility anymore?

It was clearly a publicity stunt.

Seeing Shen Dang like this, Qiao Xi felt an empathetic connection, as Boss Shen truly got caught up in the route of taking her out for meals.

Qiao Xi blinked, "Does Boss Shen have nothing else to do? Why have you been waiting for me for so long?"

"Nothing important," Shen Dang replied indifferently.

However, the reality was that Assistant Gao was swamped with work at the office.

Boss Shen didn’t seem to feel any guilt about it.

Being busy is merely a matter of whether one wants to make time or not.

Qiao Xi glanced at him thoughtfully, her voice soft, "Let’s head to GK first, Sister Li asked me to stop by."

"Okay."

Shen Dang drove to GK.

When the car stopped outside the GK building, Qiao Xi said lightly, "You wait here, I don’t think I’ll be upstairs for long."

Shen Dang: "?"

He smiled casually, "Teacher Qiao, this is also my company."

"I didn’t say it wasn’t your company." Qiao Xi gave him a slight smile, "I’ll go up first, you can get out of the car later."

Shen Dang: "..."

Another day avoiding the spotlight.

Qiao Xi got out of the car and crossed the street at the zebra crossing.

The GK building here in Hai City was even more splendid than the one in South City, making this building quite iconic.

It was one of the landmark buildings of Hai City, alongside the IDC Capital Building.

Qiao Xi made her way to Wang Li’s office, sat down, and casually removed her mask, "Sister Li, did you need me for something?"

Wang Li poured her a glass of water, looked at her stunning face, and leisurely asked, "Do you still remember Jian Yi?"

"Huh?" How could Qiao Xi forget. "Why bring her up all of a sudden?"

"She was endorsing a globally famous perfume brand, which is now looking for a new spokesperson in China."

After the incident with Jian Yi, the perfume brand terminated her contract and had been searching for a new spokesperson in China ever since.

This was a top-tier endorsement deal.

Moreover, L’Artisan Parfumeur was directly selecting a domestic spokesperson, which was never in need of searching for one.

"What does this mean?" Qiao Xi tilted her head, supporting her forehead with her hand, "Does Sister Li want me to give it a try?"

"There’s an opportunity to try, but..." Wang Li looked at her, "it won’t just be us in the running; there are two other competitors, and as far as I know, one is Movie Queen Nie Qing."

Nie Qing?

Nie Anfong from "Dream Chasing Camp" was Nie Qing’s younger sister. In Qiao Xi’s view, she definitely had the talent to make it.

She and the Nie sisters seemed to have a serendipitous connection recently.

Qiao Xi pondered for a moment and asked, "So it’s confirmed, three people competing for the L’Artisan endorsement?"

"Yes, but there’s another person I don’t know about yet," Wang Li hadn’t found out.

"I can give it a try." Qiao Xi smiled, "If the opportunity presents itself, naturally, we should seize it."

Since signing with GK, Qiao Xi hadn’t officially taken on a film role yet, and this endorsement for L’Artisan Parfumeur came directly to her.

But the L’Artisan brand didn’t just sight Qiao Xi; hence, the competition ensued.

Even with Nie Qing as a competitor, Qiao Xi didn’t want to miss this opportunity.

Some people couldn’t even get a sniff of such a chance.

You can’t just give up out of fear, right?

Qiao Xi wasn’t that weak.

Wang Li patted her shoulder, "I knew you wouldn’t give up. The day after tomorrow morning at ten, I’ll pick you up and we’ll go together."

"Okay." Qiao Xi checked the time, already picking up her mask, "Sister Li, anything else?"

Wang Li’s expression turned mysterious, "You sound like you’re in a hurry."

"I’m hungry." Qiao Xi pursed her lips and sighed lightly, "Recording shows is exhausting."

Wang Li paused slightly, "Is Qiao Nan causing trouble again?"

Qiao Xi chuckled coldly, "She won’t stir up any trouble."

Qiao Nan thought Producer Qiu was her safe harbor, but clearly, she picked the wrong person.

She doesn’t even know who the real boss behind the scenes is, yet she wants to debut through some back door method in a talent show?

Dream on!

Wang Li gave a short laugh, "Right, with Boss Shen around, what’s there to fear? Since you’re hungry, I’ll take you out to eat."

Qiao Xi suddenly looked up, her eyes bright, "Ah? No need, I have plans with Boss Shen."

"Tsk."

That sound was quite meaningful.

Qiao Xi lowered her head to send a message to Shen Dang, saying that she was done and ready to leave.

Shen Dang replied that he was waiting in the car.

Actually, he never came up to the office.

After giving Wang Li a heads-up, Qiao Xi left.

The place was quite far from Tan Garden, so Shen Dang took Qiao Xi to a French restaurant outside to eat steak.

Qiao Xi cut the meat on her plate and put a piece in her mouth with her fork, chewing silently.

Although she was hungry, she wasn’t gobbling her food.

"This place tastes great."

Qiao Xi looked up at Shen Dang, only to find him resting his chin on his hand, watching her, his deep black eyes unwavering.

Qiao Xi paused, "... Aren’t you eating?"

Really, just watching her the whole time?

"I ate at noon and I’m not very hungry, just keeping you company," Shen Dang’s thin lips curved slightly in a lazy smile.

"Then don’t just watch me; it makes it hard for me to eat," Qiao Xi’s lips straightened.

"Teacher Qiao is a feast for the eyes, aren’t I allowed to look?"

Boss Shen’s remark was bold, yet he seemed very open about it.

He simply wanted to watch.

Qiao Xi: "..."

Qiao Xi now not only wanted to cover his eyes but also to sew his mouth shut.

To divert his attention, Qiao Xi initiated a subject, "Sister Li just told me something."

Shen Dang’s interest seemed lacking, "Hmm, what is it?"

Qiao Xi leisurely explained, "L’Artisan Parfumeur is looking for a spokesperson in China. I’ll be competing against Nie Qing for the endorsement. Sister Li said there’s another person, but I don’t know who."

Shen Dang suddenly laughed.

Qiao Xi pondered that knowing smile, her eyes slightly raised, "Do you know?"

After asking, Qiao Xi felt it was a bit of a redundant question. Of course, Boss Shen would be more informed than they were.

Shen Dang counterquestioned, "Do you want to know who it is?"

Qiao Xi rolled her eyes at him, "Obviously."

She was naturally curious to know who her competitor was.

Shen Dang leaned back, his expression relaxed, "I can tell you."

Qiao Xi’s eyes brightened slightly, "Then tell me, who is it?"
