Chapter 374: Chapter 369

"How can I support a girlfriend without a job?" Qiao Xi eyed him slantingly, "If this were ancient times, you would be exactly like a befuddled emperor!"

Boss Shen couldn’t help but laugh, "If you were the Empress, then I would willingly be that befuddled emperor."

Qiao Xi was speechless.

How could she respond to that?

She laughed ruefully, "Be a bit more serious, you really don’t have to worry about me, I can wait until you are free."

She wasn’t here to disrupt his work.

Boss Shen knew Qiao Xi came here without any agenda except to see him.

Now that he had seen her, his heart settled down, and he was satisfied.

The work wasn’t finished yet, there was still some more to do, and after sticking with Qiao Xi for a while, Boss Shen returned to his office to handle work matters.

A few minutes later, Boss Shen came back.

"Let’s go, let’s have dinner."

Boss Shen naturally took her hand.

Within his field of vision, Boss Shen always wanted to be close to her.

Such natural gestures could easily make one’s heart leap.

Qiao Xi met his gaze, "Baola just texted me. They are at Xiaotang Mountain, shall we also go?"

"Hmm," Boss Shen’s eyes showed a bit of dissatisfaction, "It’s noisy with many people. Isn’t it better if we dine alone?"

Actually, both Qu Jiashu and Tang Honghe had texted Boss Shen, but he had refused all.

He didn’t feel the need for a third wheel.

Qiao Xi, smiling, said, "That sounds good, but I already agreed. I can’t just go back on my word, right?"

"What’s the big deal?"

Boss Shen didn’t see it as an issue.

Qiao Xi shook her head, "Our friends are there; let’s go."

Though she initiated the dinner with him, since her friends invited her, Qiao Xi didn’t want to refuse.

The main reason was, when it was just the two of them, his whole world revolved around her.

After shooting a movie for half a year, she was exhausted and wanted to relax with friends.

"Okay," seeing Qiao Xi insisted, Boss Shen finally compromised, "Then let’s go there."

"Alright."

Qiao Xi smiled at her.

Watching the smile on her face, Boss Shen’s lips also curved, "Where are the bodyguards?"

"Zhou Ge and the bodyguards are all downstairs."

"Let’s go."

Boss Shen left with Qiao Xi.

Taking the CEO’s private passage, they went down to the underground parking without any company employees noticing.

When Boss Shen and Qiao Xi arrived at Xiaotang Mountain, the others were already there.

Upon entering the private room, Qiao Xi took off her mask.

Xie Baola pulled her aside, giving Boss Shen a glare.

"What’s up?" Qiao Xi laughed.

"Jiashu told me Boss Shen refused him. This guy still wants to monopolize you. I have something to tell you!"

Qiao Xi sat down. Su Tutu was looking at her phone, but she looked up and greeted her with a smile.

"Sis, your progress with Boss Shen is lightning fast."

"...Not really."

Su Tutu gave her a knowing look.

Dodging her gaze, Qiao Xi asked Xie Baola, "What did you want to tell me?"

"The guy you encouraged me to pursue, I can’t even add his WeChat. What does that mean?"

Xie Baola was doubting her own charm.

"Ah, this..." Qiao Xi frowned, "I haven’t pursued anyone either, so I don’t know."

Su Tutu was interested in her target, "Paula, who are you going after? I have experience. I even wrote a guide on pursuing people. I can dig out my notes for you if you need them."

Qiao Xi: "..."

Xie Baola: "..."

Was this sister serious?

Both their expressions were somewhat speechless.

"Thanks, but no need," Xie Baola politely declined, "Your methods are outdated; they probably won’t work."

"So, who are you chasing after?"

"I can’t tell you guys yet."

Xie Baola kept her lips sealed.

"Xixi, you don’t know either?" Su Tutu asked.

Qiao Xi shook her head, "No idea."

"Tsk," Su Tutu sighed, "So mysterious."

She remembered what she wanted to ask last night, "By the way, what did you want to ask me last night? It’s just us here now, you can ask, right?"

Their three sisters were speaking here; the other guys were chatting on the other side. Tang Honghe seemed quite mysterious, not sure what he was talking about.

Only Sheng Chao had an inscrutable expression on his face.

Su Tutu was curious to ask what was going on, but right now, she was more interested in continuing with Qiao Xi’s topic.

Qiao Xi: "I already said it was nothing!"

A day and a night had passed. Why was she still hung up on it?

Su Tutu, with her penetrating gaze: "The more you say there’s nothing, the more it seems like there’s something."

Qiao Xi turned to Xie Baola, "Let’s talk about your issue instead."

Xie Baola lazily looked at her, lifting an eyebrow.

Qiao Xi spoke calmly, "I think if you can’t add his contact, then you should either pursue him directly in person or just give up, one of the two. Sitting back isn’t your style as Xie Paula."

Xie Baola clapped her hands, excitedly, "Xi Bao is right! I’ll act tomorrow!"

Su Tutu squinted her eyes, "Sis, you’re not just a flash in the pan, are you? The type to chase someone and then drop them?"

Xie Baola raised an eyebrow, "Don’t know. I’ll think about that after I catch him. Who can tell what happens next?"

Su Tutu gave a thumbs up.

"Right, I have a serious thing to tell you," Xie Baola said earnestly.

Qiao Xi and Su Tutu perked up their ears.

Xie Baola declared, "I saw a novel online in the style I like. I plan to buy the adaptation rights and make a movie. It has two female leads; are you interested?"

There are many well-known directors in the entertainment industry, and those with talent and reputation are even more so. For Xie Baola, a newcomer who hadn’t even stepped into the film industry, making a movie was indeed challenging.

And to cast Qiao Xi and Su Tutu.

They weren’t top celebrities, but both had good acting skills and resources, including popularity.

If they were to accept Xie Baola’s movie, it would be totally because they were accommodating her.

"I’ve been thinking about making a movie for a while now; Tutu, I originally planned to write a screenplay and invite Xi Xi as the leading actress. Now that I’ve met you, I think having two female leads isn’t a bad idea. You can also check out the novel; the original is very popular."

Xie Baola had always been planning; since she had planned it, it was time to act.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be her style, Xie Baola’s style.

Su Tutu asked straight away, "Do you know how to make movies?"

"I majored in directing in college and studied it abroad too. Before officially shooting, I’ll join a crew to learn. I won’t tarnish your reputation. I’m just giving you a heads-up first. You can make your decision after the script is out."

"Alright."

After pondering for a moment, Qiao Xi agreed.

Xie Baola was the kind of person who could succeed in anything she did.

She also trusted her professionalism.

Since her best friend wanted to step into the film industry, of course, she would support her.

Qiao Xi now had her own studio and was also a shareholder of GK, so she didn’t need to go through her company for such matters.

She would send Wang Li to negotiate.
