Chapter 962: Mo Bai Fanwai 52, Eyes Only For Xiao Yebai [Second Update] Chapter 962: Mo Bai Fanwai 52, Eyes Only For Xiao Yebai [Second Update] Elsewhere.

At Mo Group.

In the 60th-floor corridor, Secretary Xu stood there anxiously waiting.

Strange, during regular business hours, the chairman would definitely be at the company by 9 o’clock, so why hadn’t he arrived even though it was already half an hour past?

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.

The light on top of the Chairman’s private elevator lit up, followed by the doors opening. In walked Xiao Yebai, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, tall and long-legged, his inner shirt dark and his tie blue, his meticulous appearance exuding grace and scholarship.

“Chairman,” Secretary Xu hurried forward, “someone from Fang Group Media has arrived.”

“What for?”

Hearing these three words, Secretary Xu felt like a flock of crows was flying over his head, “You previously said that you wanted to cancel the release of “The Disappearing Lover” and halt all promotional efforts…”

So, do you remember now?

Xiao Yebai nodded.

Secretary Xu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but then…

“Contact the crew, delete all the footage, and never restore it.”

“What?” Secretary Xu’s eyes widened in shock.

“Do I need to repeat myself?”

“…No!” Secretary Xu hurriedly shook his head, but thinking of the people sitting in the small conference room, he steeled himself and spoke again, “But Chairman, as soon as Fang Group Media received the news, they immediately sent someone over, and not only that, Miss Fang herself came personally today, and they’ve been waiting in the small conference room for half an hour…”

“You go and explain.” Xiao Yebai said and then stepped forward to push open the door of his office, walking straight in.

Secretary Xu stood there, his face as bitter as a gourd.

I explain?

What do I explain?

Heaven knows why the chairman suddenly changed his mind, and now even wants the footage deleted?

He had previously been particularly fond of this movie, not only personally reviewing the script but also participating in the movie name’s voting, and even for the lead actress Fang Kaiying’s styling, wardrobe, and even the shooting angles he had offered many suggestions; he had even thought for a while that the two were a couple, only for the chairman to execute a complete one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn…

So what kind of mind-boggling maneuver is this?

But there was no helping it. Without Zhong Kai present, he was just a runner with no say in these matters.

Taking a deep breath, Secretary Xu went to knock on the door of the small conference room.

**

Fang Kaiying had arrived in Nancheng with her agent yesterday.

The plane was delayed, and it was past two in the morning when they got to the hotel. But the thought of finally seeing Xiao Yebai kept her so excited she hardly slept the whole night.

She got up early in the morning, took a shower, washed her hair, picked out a dress, did her hair and makeup, and rushed to make it to Mo Group at exactly 9 o’clock.

This was her first time here, because Secretary Xu had mentioned that Xiao Yebai was diligent about his work, always arriving at the office by 9 o’clock.

Moreover, she had urged the staff to send the second promotional clip of the movie to Xiao Yebai for review yesterday afternoon.

She believed that this second clip was the best one, with its editing creativity, promotional copy, and shots all very impactful, sure to change Xiao Yebai’s mind after he saw it.

But to her surprise, when she arrived with her team, Secretary Xu told them that Xiao Yebai hadn’t come yet.

Although she was not very pleased, thinking of Xiao Yebai, she decided to wait a bit longer.

After drinking two cups of coffee and fighting off sleepiness for half an hour, the door finally opened, but the person who came in was Secretary Xu.

“Sorry, everyone, our chairman has just arrived at the company…”

“Has he arrived?” Fang Kaiying, agitated, took off her sunglasses, “Take me to see him immediately!”

“I’m sorry, Miss Fang,” Secretary Xu explained, “the chairman already communicated with the production crew about the film withdrawal, so…”

“What do you mean?” Fang Kaiying looked at her agent, “Didn’t you say you sent him the second trailer yesterday? Why still withdraw the film?”

The agent hurriedly asked, “Secretary Xu, I already sent you the second movie trailer yesterday, it was really well made…”

“I forwarded it to the chairman, but his opinion is to withdraw the film.” Secretary Xu coughed twice, “Ladies and gentlemen, I really can’t do anything about it…”

“I want to see him!” Fang Kaiying immediately said.

Secretary Xu was in a difficult position, “Our chairman is very busy, truly doesn’t have time to meet with everyone…”

A group of about four or five people, upon hearing this, all had different expressions.

Fang Kaiying’s red lips trembled slightly, she could hardly believe her own ears, “Did you tell him I came over in person?”

“I did.”

Fang Kaiying: “…”

The agent quickly stepped forward, “Secretary Xu, could you please communicate with Director Xiao once more, our Kaiying really pushed aside a lot of work to come here, she wants to talk to Director Xiao in person, just a few minutes will do.”

“But it’s Monday today, the chairman is really busy…”

“Please,” the agent said, “We can wait, waiting for the chairman to be free to meet is also okay.”

“Well… I’ll go speak with him again then.”

“Thank you, Secretary Xu.”

**

For office workers, Monday is usually the beginning of the week’s work and the busiest start.

Especially in a big company like Mo Group, not only do you have to submit last week’s work reports and this week’s work plans on Monday, but also prepare for the afternoon meetings, not to mention other miscellaneous things…

Anyway, after Secretary Xu finished reporting the work and seeing that it was almost 10 o’clock, he finally found a moment to say, “Chairman, Miss Fang and her team are still waiting in the meeting room.”

Upon hearing this, the cold and stern man slightly raised his eyebrows, then lifted his eyes to look at him, “What’s the matter?”

“I’m sorry, Chairman, I already told them about the film withdrawal, but Miss Fang insists on meeting with you…”

“I don’t have time,” Xiao Yebai quickly organized the documents on the desk, “It’s almost 10 o’clock, I have a meeting with the marketing department.”

Secretary Xu knew as well, “Alright, I’ll let them know.”

He had just turned around.

“Wait a second,” Xiao Yebai suddenly spoke up, “Book me a restaurant first, time… around eleven.”

Around eleven?

Does this mean?

He’ll finish the meeting and then have a meal and chat with Miss Fang?

I get it!

“Alright, I’ll book it right away.”

Xiao Yebai got up straight away, “Come to the main conference room after you’ve booked it.”

“Understood, Chairman.”

**

Ten minutes later, Secretary Xu hurried into the small conference room, “I’m terribly sorry, everyone, our chairman has an important meeting with the marketing department to attend…”

Fang Kaiying stood up abruptly, her beautiful face filled with anger, “What the hell is going on? I’ve been waiting here for over an hour, sitting until my back is sore!”

The little princess who had been spoiled since childhood, even after entering the entertainment circle, whether doing shows or shooting dramas, needed a break after working for a short while, with nannies and assistants always at her beck and call…

This was the first time she had traveled all this way by plane, hadn’t slept all night, and had dressed up with great care, only to end up waiting for more than an hour without seeing anyone!

Secretary Xu hurried to offer a placating smile, “The chairman has already instructed me, he has reserved a restaurant for noon, so Miss Fang can go ahead and wait there.”

Hearing this, Fang Kaiying’s expression finally softened a bit, “Then how long will his meeting take?”

“That is uncertain,” Secretary Xu said tactfully, “If it’s short, it might be over in half an hour.”

“Half an hour, that long?” Fang Kaiying stomped her foot with force, “So if I go now, isn’t that still an hour’s wait? I won’t do it!”

“Half an hour is quite quick, it’s okay, Kaiying, we should just go and wait,” her agent whispered persuasively, “Chairman Xiao has such a large company to manage, it’s normal for him to be busy, you have to understand. Besides, you’re a public figure, remember to watch your image…”

Fang Kaiying endured and put on her sunglasses, “Fine, let’s go then!”

Everyone quickly got up and surrounded her as they walked out.

Secretary Xu stood there, shaking his head involuntarily.

This Fang Kaiying, always so beautiful and polite on TV, who would have thought she’d have such a temper in private! Truly, these female stars are all for show in front of the public, so hard to serve! Chairman Xiao really has it tough…

**

10:40 AM.

The large conference room.

Xiao Yebai glanced at the time and his thin lips parted, “Let’s pause the meeting here for now. The points I brought up earlier, everyone should go back and review them carefully, and by 2 PM, each of you send me an email with your feedback.”

“Yes, Chairman.”

Xiao Yebai stood up, holding his laptop, and left.

As soon as the door closed, a collective sigh of relief was heard from the roomful of executives.

“It’s rare today, only over half an hour and it’s done.”

“Yeah, I don’t even recall the last time we had a meeting that lasted less than an hour.”

“Looks like the chairman’s in a good mood lately.”

“You guys don’t know yet? I asked Secretary Wang just now, and it turns out Fang Kaiying came to see the chairman with her agent.”

“So that’s why!”

“The rumored girlfriend comes over, no wonder he was in such a hurry to end the meeting today!”

“What rumored girlfriend, she came to the company in person, she’s definitely the official girlfriend now!”

“I heard Fang Kaiying is just 19 years old, the pearl of the Fang Group from Kyoto, she and Chairman Xiao are certainly a perfect match.”

“Yes, indeed, no wonder Chairman Xiao recently invested 1 billion to produce her movie!”

“Looks like we’re about to have a new lady boss.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“…”

**

Mo Weiyi was somewhat surprised when she received a call from Xiao Yebai.

She thought their agreement to have lunch together was just a spur of the moment decision.

After all, Mo Group was such a large company, and Monday mornings were bound to be busy. Plus, she hadn’t heard anything from Lu Chenyu about Xiao Yebai coming over to discuss a collaboration that morning.

After hanging up, Mo Weiyi stood up.

“Weiyi, wait for me,” Xia Chuyun called out from next door, “One minute, I’ll send this email right away.”

“Yunyun, sorry, but I can’t have lunch with you today,” Mo Weiyi whispered, “My husband is coming to pick me up.”

“…” Xia Chuyun blinked and hurriedly said with a smile, “I see. Then go ahead, I’ll go eat with Sister Liu and the others later.”

“Okay.” Mo Weiyi picked up her phone and left.

…

As she reached the corridor, she just caught the sound of the elevator doors closing.

Mo Weiyi quickly called out, “Hold on, please.”

She ran toward it and upon entering, she discovered that the person inside was Jing Su.

Since her first day of work, when her project proposal was very impressive, Mo Weiyi and Jing Su hadn’t had much work interaction over the next few days.

Seeing him now, she greeted him with a smile, “Lawyer Jing.”

Jing Su looked somewhat uncomfortable, “Lawyer Mo.”

His way of addressing her had suddenly changed, and although Mo Weiyi found it a bit strange, she said nothing, “Lawyer Jing, are you going to lunch alone?”

“Yes,” Jing Su answered tersely.

Mo Weiyi didn’t think much of it and was about to check her phone, which had just rung, when she saw a message from Su Wanwan.

[Weiyi baby, have you had lunch? I happen to be free today, so I came to visit my mom’s company, which is just behind your law firm on that street, come join me for a meal! My treat! I’ll take you out for a big meal!]

Mo Weiyi could only reply honestly.

When Su Wanwan learned that Xiao Yebai was coming to join her for lunch, she was furious, sending several accusatory messages in quick succession:

[Weiyi, you’ve changed!]

[You’ve reverted to being that silly girl who only had eyes for Xiao Yebai!]

[Guess you only welcome new faces with a smile, while the old ones cry unseen.]

Mo Weiyi: [Wrong!]

Su Wanwan: [What’s wrong about it? Where did I go wrong?]

Mo Weiyi: [Besides him, I also have eyes for Nuonuo.]

Su Wanwan: [So I can only rank third now? No longer your sweetheart?]

Mo Weiyi: “…”

Watching her flurry of messages, she couldn’t help but chuckle.

Ever since joining the entertainment circle, Su Wanwan was becoming more and more of a drama queen; it’d be a shame not to act…

Just then, the elevator reached the ground floor.

Mo Weiyi was just smiling as she walked out of the elevator…

“Lawyer Mo.”

Mo Weiyi looked up at Jing Su, “What is it?”

Jing Su inquired, “The Mr. Rong from before, how come he didn’t come today?”

Although Mo Weiyi had only been working for a week, he had noticed that every day Rong An would drive her to and from work, and at other times he would sit on the ground floor waiting for her.

Doing nothing but wait, either playing on his phone or reading the newspaper, like an unemployed loafer…

Seeing a familiar black Bentley parked at the curb ahead, Mo Weiyi said offhandedly, “He’s busy today. Sorry, I’m in a rush, I need to go.”

“Okay.” Jing Su nodded, but his gaze lingered longingly on her retreating figure.
