Chapter 338: Chapter 337: If This Man Won’t Do, Find Another

If things hadn’t reached this serious point, Qiao Xi wouldn’t have wanted to take advantage of her status as a GK shareholder to have such a fallout with Director Qian.

But now Qiao Nan was taking secret photos of her to send to Chu Xiuyun, and she really couldn’t bear it any longer.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Nan’s face was filled with disbelief, "Director Qian, what do you mean?"

Director Qian’s voice was cold as he scolded her, "What do you mean, what do you mean? Don’t you know what you did?"

Qiao Nan’s part wasn’t significant; they had only shot a small portion yesterday.

Replacing her wouldn’t be much of a loss to the production.

They could simply pick someone else from the special actors, who all had better acting skills than Qiao Nan.

Why keep the trouble that Qiao Nan brought?

If she could behave and finish her part well, everything would be fine, but now he had to give Qiao Xi an explanation.

Qiao Nan still couldn’t quite recover when she was kicked out of the crew.

How did it come to this?

She wanted to be a star, to be famous!

She needed this drama to attract the attention of other directors, but now she didn’t even have a chance to show up?

She still needed a major opportunity to become a top celebrity!

Why had it turned out this way?

Her beautiful dream shattered once again.

Qiao Nan looked hazily at everything happening around her, suddenly feeling lost.

It shouldn’t have been like this...

At that moment, a fearsome face of Chu Xiuyun flashed through Qiao Nan’s mind, sending a chill down her spine.

The photos in her phone were deleted by Qiao Xi.

She had no photos to send to Chu Xiuyun.

And now, being kicked out of the crew, she couldn’t go back; how was she going to explain this to Chu Xiuyun?

Thinking about this, Qiao Nan wanted to flee.

...

Director Qian did end up choosing someone from the special actors.

Qiao Xi, without deliberately holding back, quickly made up for the scenes she had shot with Qiao Nan the day before.

Without Qiao Nan in the crew, everything went back to normal.

Qiao Xi didn’t bother about what happened to Qiao Nan; mingling with someone like Chu Xiuyun was bound to end badly.

Thinking that Chu Xiuyun actually had Qiao Nan sneak photos for him, she felt disgusted.

Chu Xiuyun was still on her WeChat friends list.

After sending a message to Chu Xiuyun, Qiao Xi blocked him.

Chu Xiuyun initially was delighted when he saw a message from Qiao Xi, but his expression soured as soon as he read her text.

He tried to explain in a message, but it just showed a red exclamation mark.

Full of irony.

Chu Xiuyun’s eyes darkened, his face as gloomy as if it could drip water.

Boss Shen stayed in Mo City for three days before going back.

Qiao Xi was finally relieved by his departure.

Otherwise, sharing a room every night, even though not the same bed, felt tremendously tormenting.

Boss Shen was too exhausting.

A demanding male siren.

Half a month passed swiftly.

Qiao Xi had an offline event in Hai City that she had to attend, so she asked Director Qian for a few days’ leave and flew back to Hai City.

Bei Bei went back with her.

As soon as the plane landed, Qiao Xi received a message from Shen Dang: [I had Assistant Gao come to pick you up.]

Surprisingly, the usually clingy man didn’t show up.

This surprised Qiao Xi.

Sitting in the car, Qiao Xi’s cool voice carried a touch of laziness, "Assistant Gao, what is your boss busy with?"

"That..." As it was about Chu’s business, Assistant Gao couldn’t say much, so he just chuckled, "President Shen is busy with work. There’s an important project that he can’t take his mind off right now."

Seeing Assistant Gao’s hesitant manner, Qiao Xi didn’t press any further.

Assistant Gao then said, "President Shen must have told you, after work he’ll come have dinner with you."

Qiao Xi just hummed.

It was rare for Boss Shen to find time despite his extremely busy schedule.

Assistant Gao planned to drop Qiao Xi off at home first and then take Bei Bei home.

Honestly, Bei Bei didn’t want to bother this major company’s assistant and didn’t want to perpetually ride on Sister Xi’s coattails, so she asked to stop the car halfway.

With her backpack slung over her shoulders, Bei Bei turned and left with a carefree attitude.

Assistant Gao watched her depart, her silhouette surprisingly resilient, then broke the silence softly: "Boss, your assistant seems quite polite."

Last time they went out to eat together, he intended to treat, but Bei Bei firm on splitting the bill, so they ended up going Dutch.

Qiao Xi looked out the car window and cracked a slight smile, "Probably just shy."

Assistant Gao: "..."

He didn’t see where Bei Bei seemed shy.

After Qiao Xi got home, she called Xie Baola.

She had an event the next day and was flying back to Mo City the day after. She could meet Xie Baola after the event ended.

But Xie Baola’s phone didn’t go through.

She didn’t know what Baola was busy with.

It took a while before Qiao Xi finally got a call from Xie Baola.

"Xi Bao."

"Baola, I’m back. What are you busy with?"

"What else can I be busy with? My dad called me to the company to learn the ropes, prepping me to manage it in the future. This isn’t how I imagined my return home to be; I almost wanted to flee the country."

Xie Baola vented non-stop.

She studied film directing in college and vowed to make Qiao Xi famous, but before she could do it, Qiao Xi became a star.

The entertainment industry was a realm Xie Baola hadn’t touched. Besides, with the connection of Qiao Xi, while studying film directing abroad, Xie Baola also learned business management. She was fun-loving yet a female academic powerhouse.

Yet just as she returned home before she could accomplish any great deeds, her father dragged her to the company to toil away.

Qiao Xi couldn’t help but laugh: "Why not listen to Uncle Xie and get a stay-at-home son-in-law? That way, you could relax."

"What if I end up dating your brother?"

Of course, Baola didn’t actually ask that out loud.

"Ugh." Xie Baola was resigned: "I’m still young; maybe I should struggle for a few more years."

This messed-up life, thinking of giving up was easier said than done.

Xie Baola steered the conversation back: "Since you’re back, let’s have dinner tonight. We can invite Tutu."

"No, I can’t." Qiao Xi hesitated, "Boss Shen said he wants to see me."

"..."

Xie Baola went silent.

"How about this," Qiao Xi suggested, "We find a place to eat together. I’ll invite Brother Chao and the others."

Qiao Xi didn’t want to disregard her best friend or her boyfriend; this solution was perfect.

After this trip back to Mo City, she probably wouldn’t return to Hai City again until the shooting was done.

Xie Baola quickly agreed: "Okay."

Qiao Xi smiled brightly: "Then I’ll tell Tutu."

"Xi Bao."

"Uh?"

"Nothing."

Xie Baola swallowed back her words.

If Chen Jiayan wasn’t related to Qiao Xi, she would have made her move already; why hesitate so much?

Dating a best friend’s brother was indeed tricky.

Xie Baola once again suppressed her budding feelings.

With men, if you can’t get one, just find another, right?
