533: Chapter 533: Beauty’s Thoughts!
Everyone Has Their Own Sche!
The noise was deafening!
The atmosphere was lively!
Wu Jie sat in the car, suddenly feeling like he had beco a celebrity.
Since he had been recognized, there was no avoiding the public; otherwise, he would definitely be accused of acting like a big shot.
Brother can’t keep a low profile anymore, huh!
With a sigh, Wu Jie opened the door and got out of the car.
As expected, he was instantly surrounded by a crowd, with many people pushing forward and snapping photos with their phones.
Everyone was chattering and babbling away, leaving Wu Jie completely overwheld, as if there were endless questions to answer.
Finally!
The owners, a couple, arrived.
They opened the car door, placed newspapers on the rear seat, and then put eight large boxes on top.
“Mr.
Wu, your barbecue is ready!”
“Everyone, co have skewers and drinks!
Mr.
Wu has already picked up the tab for all of you!”
With the proprietress’s shout, the crowd cheered and jumped for joy.
After expressing his gratitude several tis, Wu Jie finally drove away.
Of course.
The huge hole at the rear of the car was particularly conspicuous in the night.
He drove on at full speed.
Wu Jie hadn’t arrived ho yet when Tang Xin called.
“Wow, big brother, you’re impressive!
You manage to make the hot search just for eating barbecue.
I think you should just debut as a celebrity!”
“Lots of people are leaving positive comnts, saying you’re kind-hearted and deserve to soar high, driving your big Benz!”
“There are also those who say you found yourself a great wife, and there are quite a few people who are envious and jealous!”
Hearing Tang Xin’s sour tone, Wu Jie retorted grumpily:
“Are you not content unless you’re making fun of ?”
Tang Xin laughed playfully, “What mocking?
I’m praising you!
Ah, by the way, have you and Xiao made it official yet?”
Wu Jie countered, “What if we have, and what if we haven’t?
Why do you care so much?”
“Well, that’s true!
You two have already acted out the pretense and are together now; she’s already your girl, so little sister here completely misses her chance!”
Tang Xin said with a nearly despondent tone.
Wu Jie chuckled, “From the sound of it, you’re quite lancholic!
Are you really regretting not making a move earlier?”
“Yes!
After all, we knew each other first.
We’ve played gas together, shared an apartnt…
Sigh, but now it’s all too late to say anything!”
Tang Xin paused for a mont, then smiled and said, “But it’s okay, no fate ans no fate!”
Hearing this, Wu Jie suddenly didn’t know what to say.
He felt a sudden pang of guilt.
“Hey, are you going to say sothing?
You used to be so talkative and cheeky, why suddenly go silent?” Tang Xin questioned in an odd tone.
Wu Jie sighed and said:
“What do you want to say?
If I made you my lover, it would not only wrong you even more, but I’d also be labeled as fickle.”
“If I say we can’t be lovers, then let’s be good relatives, you’d probably accuse of being ungrateful and disloyal, so it’s best for to keep silent!”
Tang Xin snorted, “Ungrateful and disloyal?
You’ve finally admitted it!
Honestly, have you ever had feelings for ?”
“Nonsense!
Not only have I had feelings, but I’ve also almost lost my self-control!” Wu Jie laughed and continued, “Even though you can be crazy at tis, who isn’t selfish in love?”
Tang Xin sighed deeply.
“That’s right!
Xiao has always been generous.
Whenever I asked her for sothing, she’d give it, but not you…
she really couldn’t bear to let you go!”
Wu Jie chuckled, “Stop sighing!
With your optimistic personality, you should get over it soon, right?”
Tang Xin huffed lightly.
“Get over it?
Hah, I’m not even streaming anymore.
I don’t know what to broadcast or have the interest!”
“I walk through classes as if I’m sleepwalking and after class, I’m like a walking corpse.
These past few days, I’ve felt utterly disoriented.”
Wu Jie asked in mock amazent, “Gee!
If you had a serious relationship and then broke up, wouldn’t you be heartbroken, on the brink of committing harakiri?”
Tang Xin sighed again, “Indeed!
I thought I was casual and open-minded, that nothing could bind , and that I could quickly forget even the biggest of issues, but reality?
I just can’t let go!”
“Moreover, if I hadn’t seen the video of your car accident while buying barbecue on the internet, I wouldn’t have dared to call you, for fear that Xiao was nearby.
I really felt like a thief with a guilty conscience!
It feels like I’ve completely changed.”
Wu Jie consoled her soothingly, “Co on!
There’s no need to make it sound so tragic, so emotional, just treat as the scumbag who abandoned you to find new love.”
“But you’re not a scumbag!
The thing between and Xiao was just a joke!
Besides, you haven’t taken advantage of , so how could you be considered scummy?”
Tang Xin shifted the conversation to a lighter note and laughed, “But seriously, since you and Xiao haven’t officially gotten together, why not consider ?”
Wu Jie was taken aback and nearly pressed the wrong pedal.
“Tsk tsk!
Tang Xin, oh Tang Xin, you really are a crazy girl!
You actually dare to say such things out loud?”
Tang Xin replied with a proud air, “What’s the big deal in this day and age?”
“I appreciate your kindness!” Wu Jie glanced at the rearview mirror, “Alright, I’m ho now.
Let’s chat another day!”
“Fine!
Then, can you say goodnight to ?” Tang Xin asked sincerely.
Wu Jie hesitated for a mont.
“Uh…
goodnight, Xin’er.”
After he hung up the phone, Wu Jie drove into the underground parking garage.
As for Tang Xin’s words, Wu Jie didn’t believe a punctuation mark of them.
For all he knew, she could be recording the call to stir up trouble between himself and Tang Xiao.
A beauty trap…
Chu Yunxuan had already tried that once; Wu Jie was not about to fall for it easily.
He parked the car, went upstairs, and called ahead, bringing the fragrant skewers to Bai Fengling’s ho.
“Wow, it slls amazing!
Co in quick!”
Bai Fengling enthusiastically ushered Wu Jie into the house, explaining as they walked, “I didn’t make any big changes to the house, just spent so money to combine the swimming room and the library into a small cinema, convenient for enjoying so films when I have free ti!”
As she talked, Bai Fengling opened the soundproof door.
In the dim light, Wu Jie saw Tang Xiao sitting in the massage chair, absorbed in a movie.
The sound was astonishing, just like the surround sound you’d find in a cinema.
“Hurry up and sit down, Fengling has prepared all the drinks and beverages!”
Tang Xiao called out, patted the massage chair next to her, and signaled Wu Jie to take a seat.
Bai Fengling slightly brightened the lights as Wu Jie laid out the barbecue on the table, and everyone ate and chatted.
The movie that was playing was a foreign blockbuster featuring car chases and explosive scenes, typical of comrcial cinema.
As an insider, Bai Fengling would occasionally explain how certain shots were achieved or how the special effects were done.
By the ti the movie was over, the barbecue and drinks were almost finished.
“I’ve been talking to Fengling for a long ti and ca up with an idea!”
“That is, could short films be put on your big shot APP software?”
Tang Xiao was the type who couldn’t go three sentences without talking business, seeing everything as an opportunity to make a deal.
Wu Jie looked blankly at Bai Fengling.
“The idea is to make so short films and put them on your platform, letting mbers watch for free, or pay to watch.
It’s just like the online movies that are out now, only shorter in length, but concise and to the point – suitable for the young people of today!”
Bai Fengling imdiately explained succinctly.
Wu Jie laughed and said, “Of course that’s possible!
As long as it’s original content, my platform will accept it.
It’s just adding a new feature for paid subscriptions, which is not difficult.”
“With that statent from you, I can go all out and start filming right away!”
Bai Fengling appeared very excited and imdiately went to her room to bring back a thick stack of scripts.
The conversation went on, and before they knew it, it had beco late into the night.
Saying goodbye and heading ho, Wu Jie accompanied Tang Xiao into the elevator and didn’t beat around the bush, saying bluntly:
“She’s looking for investnts from you, isn’t she?”
Tang Xiao laughed in surprise, “You really can’t hide anything from you!
That’s right, she’s working on three movies, and you had previously agreed to lend her fifty million, with the possibility of adding another fifty million depending on the movies’ success!”
“The money was lent, and about adding an investnt…
You seem to have forgotten that all along!
So she’s taking a roundabout way, coming to , probably hoping I’d drop a hint and remind you!”
Wu Jie chuckled.
“Bai Fengling is really too shrewd!
When it cos to financial interests, she can outcalculate anyone.”
Tang Xiao smiled and said, “She has no choice!
Besides us, who else can she go to for investnt?
In my opinion, it’s okay to invest fifty million in her.
With her calculating nature, it’s a sure bet not to lose money!”
“Even if there might be a loss, you can pull her up to do a few live broadcasts, forcefully implant a bunch of ads, and that would make up for it, right?”
Wu Jie raised an eyebrow, wrapped his arm around Tang Xiao’s slender waist with a smirk, and said, “Tsk tsk!
You really are my wife!”
Tang Xiao hurriedly brushed off Wu Jie’s hand and said indignantly:
“Let go!
Don’t get handsy in the elevator!”
…
Upstairs on the balcony.
Bai Fengling held a cup of coffee, looking down from the balcony, her brows relaxed.
Under the dim light of the street lamp, Wu Jie and Tang Xiao were walking hand in hand back to Building One.
They really were an enviable couple!
Wu Jie was capable, and Tang Xiao had power!
Together, they were a match made in heaven.
With a light sip of her lips, she turned and went back into the room.
She took out her phone and video-called Chu Yunxuan.
“Your advice worked wonders.
I should be able to get that fifty million investnt very soon!”
Chu Yunxuan smiled and said, “I understand Mr.
Wu.
No matter what Tang Xiao says, he’s sure to listen.”
“Yeah!
The kind of man who dotes on his wife – why can’t we ever et soone like that?
Sigh!”
Bai Fengling let out a long sigh.
“As long as you handle the hoe well, there’s no corner you can’t dig!”
Chu Yunxuan said with a teasing tone.
Bai Fengling frowned slightly, crossed her long legs, and leaned on the sofa, propping her cheek with her hand.
“What do you an by that?
Are you suggesting I should go after soone else’s man and push out President Tang?”
Chu Yunxuan laughed, “Those are your words, not mine.”
“I’ll take that as your aning!” said Bai Fengling with a light laugh.
“Now, be honest, you gave up the job as sales director to beco vice president in Wu Jie’s company.
It’s a better prospect and more profitable, but I feel you have ulterior motives, don’t you?”
“My intuition tells that you’re not satisfied with just being the vice president; you want to be the lady of the house!”
Chu Yunxuan smiled charmingly:
“You’re thinking too much!
I’m just doing my duty.
For won like us with no family background, who have to rely on ourselves for everything, with a good job and a good business, we have to work tirelessly to do well, right?”
Bai Fengling asked with an awkward smile, “Is it really just for the job and the money?”
“Of course!
Do you think I would dare to compete with Tang Xiao for her husband?” countered Chu Yunxuan.
Bai Fengling fell silent.
“Alright then!
Focus on your short films!
When they’re online, I’ll arrange so extra advertising for you!”
“Okay!
I’ll treat you to dinner soti as a thank you!” Bai Fengling said.
Chu Yunxuan gave a hum of acknowledgnt, waved her hand, and hung up the video call.
She tossed her phone aside.
Chu Yunxuan continued to study into the night by lamplight.
She was fervently self-improving, constantly learning to enrich herself.
She believed that one day she would be able to win Wu Jie’s trust and favor not with her looks and figure, but with her talent and ability.
anwhile.
Wu Jie and his companion had returned to their ho upstairs.
Just as they were about to input the password to open the door, they discovered…
the door wasn’t even closed.
Had there been a burglary, or had Tang Xiao forgotten to close the door?
“You…”
Before Wu Jie could finish, Tang Xiao gestured for silence.
She pulled out a holstered gun from the bag that Zheng had given Wu Jie.
Her deanor instantly changed from a sweet and happy little woman to a capable and combative female War King.
With a click!
Tang Xiao chambered a round and held the gun with both hands.
Gently pushing the door, she slipped inside…
