Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Just Be Stubborn

Qiao Xi’s suitcase was big and heavy, and she was holding an umbrella in her hand, making it impossible for her to take down the suitcase herself without struggling.

She was about to give up and put the umbrella down when a hand reached out in front of her, effortlessly lifting the suitcase.

Qiao Xi: "..."

Qiao Xi didn’t quite understand his intentions.

Really didn’t understand.

So she just stood there, dumbfounded.

"What are you standing there for, not taking your suitcase away?" Shen Dang asked through the heavy curtain of rain.

Both stood under their umbrellas, with the sound of rain around them, seemingly isolating everything nearby; the world seemed to contain only the two of them amidst both the serenity and the noisy raindrops.

The rain was heavy, and through the mist, Qiao Xi could still see Shen Dang’s face, its sharp, perfect contours highlighted by his slightly parted, thin lips tinged with faint displeasure.

"Thank you," Qiao Xi said, pulling her suitcase and walking towards the building.

Shen Dang then pulled her other suitcase over.

Rainwater dripped from the edge of the umbrella onto the floor, the sound of the rain pleasant, but Qiao Xi wasn’t in the mood to listen.

Shen Dang’s hand on the umbrella handle was slender and beautiful, his demeanor calm yet carrying a hint of coldness: "Just be stubborn."

Qiao Xi: "???"

Why was he speaking to her like this?

Was he ill again?

Shen Dang didn’t say another word and walked over to the car.

Assistant Gao had already opened the door for him.

Shen Dang glanced at him. Why did this guy have so many umbrellas in his car, planning to start a side business selling them?

Assistant Gao smiled respectfully; he was indeed a good subordinate.

Shen Dang tugged at the corner of his lip and bent down to get into the car.

Assistant Gao waved to Qiao Xi: "Boss lady, we’re heading off now."

"Goodbye," Qiao Xi replied with a small smile.

She didn’t understand Shen Dang’s intentions, but Qiao Xi wasn’t one to take her confusion out on others.

The car quickly disappeared into the curtain of rain.

Qiao Xi returned home.

After the rain, the temperature had dropped dramatically, and Qiao Xi felt a slight cold coming on, so she brewed herself a pot of hot tea.

The housekeeper from the first floor called her: "Miss Qiao, you forgot a package from overseas here; shall I bring it up for you now?"

"That would be great."

Qiao Xi had indeed forgotten the gift sent by her best friend.

The doorbell rang after a while, and Qiao Xi received the package, thanked the housekeeper, then closed the door and went back to the living room to open her parcel.

Xie Baola was truly her good friend from China, having sent a necklace she had just seen in a magazine, from a very luxurious brand, a regular at major shows, not something money could just buy.

She texted Xie Baola: "Received the necklace, love it, xoxo, I’ll wear it on the red carpet next time."

"Baola: Then I must watch that live broadcast."

"Qiao Xi: Are you coming back for the New Year this year?"

"Baola: Not this year, I’ll come back after graduating next year, then I’ll stay in China."

The kettle made bubbling sounds, and Qiao Xi, with a smile, sent a ’Okay’ back.

It had been three years since Xie Baola went abroad for studies, and Qiao Xi missed her terribly.

After finishing her tea, Qiao Xi called Wang Li.

"You’re back?"

"Just got home," Qiao Xi could still hear Wang Li typing away at her keyboard: "Sister Li, a family elder has been hospitalized, so if there are any events these next few days, please help me decline."

"Sure," Wang Li answered crisply: "It’s nearly the end of the year, and there are lots of celebrity events. You can get ready well later."

"Okay, you go ahead."

"I want to tell you something." Wang Li turned her chair to face the oppressive, dark sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

"What is it?"

"Zhou Junqi signed with Le Entertainment."

"Oh." Qiao Xi wasn’t too surprised: "Has the incident with his fan falling accidentally been resolved?"

"Mmhmm, not only did he manage to salvage his image, but he also brings in traffic, so Le Entertainment signed him."

GK Entertainment moved to Hai City, and with Shengshi Entertainment here, Le Entertainment was gradually declining.

But Le Entertainment offered a price that Zhou Junqi was happy with, and being the same company as Qiao Xi, he was very willing.

Qiao Xi hummed, her voice lazy and teasing: "Anyway, it’s none of our business."

"Just reminding you, your contract expires in March next year, and the boss will definitely look for you."

Le Entertainment’s boss was desperate for Qiao Xi to bring along new talents, to squeeze her value, knowing well that she was very unlikely to renew her contract.

Sometimes, Le Entertainment’s methods were quite unsightly.

After all, Qiao Xi signed with Le Entertainment at the start of her career, and if the company hadn’t been too excessive, she wouldn’t have thought about leaving.

But people have to look forward.

Even if someone wants to drag you back, pull you down into the mire, and make you collude with them, you need to firmly kick that person away so they can never hold you back again, no, so they can never touch you again.

Just stride forward without looking back, so as not to appear foolish!

Qiao Xi leaned against the sofa, looking up at the ceiling, the chandelier above her head casting a glow as gentle as fireflies.

The light illuminated her delicate, ethereal features—her long willowy brows, eyes brimming with moisture, lips naturally red, from her full forehead to her swan neck and clavicle, sketching a stunning profile.

She spoke softly, "When the time comes, you’ll come with me too, right? Sister Li."

Her voice was enchanting, as if a fairy had shed her cold exterior, leaving behind just warmth for you.

Who the hell could resist that?

Even if she’s a woman it wouldn’t work!

Wang Li lost her composure: "Yes, yes, yes! If I don’t follow you, who will? After being your agent for three years, you think you can just shake me off?"

Wang Li had once managed a Movie Queen.

But who knew, after the Movie Queen gained fame and success, she turned around and followed another agent, completely disregarding all that Wang Li had done for her.

Not only was there no gratitude, but there was also betrayal.

Wang Li was disheartened, and just then, Qiao Xi entered the circle, with the company assigning Wang Li to Qiao Xi.

They had gotten used to each other by now, advancing hand in hand; Wang Li was a very good agent.

Qiao Xi was someone who would reciprocate sincerity with sincerity, which is why she didn’t have many friends.

Qiao Xi gently touched her forehead, smiling silently: "Of course I wouldn’t dare."

She had come this far and didn’t want to change agents now.

Wang Li said, "Since you’ve made up your mind, of course, I’ll support you, and I’ll look for a good step for us."

Let Le Entertainment go to hell!

"Great," Qiao Xi smiled gracefully: "Then take your time to look."

Wang Li asked her, "Whenever you’re free, come by the office."

"Okay, after my family elder is discharged."

Having been tired for several months, now relaxing, Qiao Xi felt completely at ease.

She went to bed early that night, and the next day she woke up radiant, even the rain that had lasted all night had stopped.

Qiao Xi made herself a bowl of noodles and was about to start eating when her phone, placed beside her, rang.

She answered the phone while twirling the noodles.

Shen Dang’s deep voice came through: "Are you up yet?"
