When Xi Xiaye said this, Liu Lingyu smiled, walking around his desk and pointing at the sofa on the side. He said humbly, “Have a seat first. I just wanted to talk to you about this too.”
Xi Xiaye sat down and the secretary swiftly brought two cups of tea over.
“Is it about Yueying? Chairman Mu told about it. Recently, you and Ah Mo have been busy with Movie City matters, so I wanted to co over and check how it is now.”
Xi Xiaye picked up the tea and sipped it a little, her clear gaze falling onto Liu Lingyu’s face.
“Mmm, I’ll be making a trip to City B with Manager Ah Mo in two days. I might have to stay there for quite a while, so I probably need your help to watch over Yueying for a while. There’s a monthly eting this afternoon and I want you to attend that.”
As Liu Lingyu said this, he drank his tea, then continued, “Recently, Yueying’s matters have caused quite a lot of unhappiness among the shareholders. According to Chairman Mu’s intentions, we will continue to work hard, promote the new artistes, and align them with our brand. In fact, the few movies that we previously negotiated have been under Glory World’s na, so we just have to wait for the right ti...”
When he said this, Liu Lingyu did not continue, but Xi Xiaye understood what he ant. She thought about it, then nodded. “That’s a brilliant idea too. Right, hasn’t Caitlin been quite popular recently? In fact, I heard that her ti’s almost up with the company she’s previously signed to. Maybe we can fight for her. She’s been having a great collaboration with Glory World, and I think highly of her.”
“Mmm, yes, that’s a good idea too. There are several artistes that look like they have the potential.”
Xi Xiaye fell silent for a while then asked, “Just leave this to . I’ll go look for Caitlin for a chat. What ti’s the eting in the afternoon?”
“3 p.m.”
“Mmm, I got it. Just pass the details.”
Liu Lingyu thought about it, then he could not help but remind, “Okay. Right, Director Xi, I notice that Qi Kai seems to be quite interested in Yueying recently as well, so you have to watch out for any movents from them.”
Qi Kai again?
When Liu Lingyu ntioned this, Xi Xiaye rembered that Qi Lei was one of Yueying’s bigger partners. In fact, because of the South River project...
Personal grudges...
When she thought about this, Xi Xiaye suddenly rembered the things Mu Yuchen had said to her previously. Her heart sank a little and she frowned.
...
After she left Liu Lingyu’s office, Xi Xiaye returned to her own office. Although it was already ti for a break in the afternoon now, she did not feel hungry, so she did not go to the canteen. Instead, she brewed so tea and sat down leisurely, listening to so songs. At this mont, the phone on her table buzzed. She picked it up to look. It was a certain person’s ssage from across the Pacific Ocean.
Xi Xiaye subconsciously looked at the ti on the corner of her laptop screen. It was probably past midnight and near dawn over there. With an inhale, she clicked on the ssage. There was only a simple sentence: Put whatever is in your hands down now and go eat.
Xi Xiaye raised her brows at the tea in her hand and rembered that all this while, she had been packing food and going straight to his office to eat with him, so...
She held her handphone gently and stared at the screen for a long ti until it dimd. She smiled and put the cup in her hand down to respond to him: Why aren’t you asleep yet?
He responded: Just ca back.
She thought about it and replied: Where did you go?
Had a dinner thing.
...
They kept responding to each other in short sentences, and Xi Xiaye felt slightly riled up because Mr. Mu was not replying her in seconds. She struggled for a while, hesitating about whether she should just call him.
However, at this mont, Mu Yuchen who was in a certain hotel room in New York was sitting leisurely on the sofa. He bent over slightly and was focused, working on his laptop.
Beside him, Zhou Zimo wore dark blue pajamas. He held a cup to Mu Yuchen with freshly poured whiskey with a grin. “When this thing’s resolved, I’ll have to thank you properly.”
Mu Yuchen looked up and took the drink from him. The lights in the room were very dim and the blue light from the laptop complinted his handso face in a way that made him look even more extraordinarily dashing.
Mu Yuchen took a light sip and said raspily, “If you really want to thank , get a younger sister-in-law. The elder called two days ago, telling to get you going.”
Zhou Zimo lifted a hand to rub his nose as a smile flashed across his handso face. He sat down near Mu Yuchen and smiled. “I see you’ve plunged right in and forget all your duties. Su Chen said that he’s been asking you out recently, but you didn’t show up. Don’t dote on won too much. Otherwise, you should see the pair in my ho. My old man has no status as a man at all!”
When Zhou Zimo’s weird parents were ntioned, even Mu Yuchen could not help but chuckle. The Zhou family was a typical case of won managing external matters while the n handled dostic matters!
Zhou Zimo’s grandmother’s and mother’s words were the imperial edict. On the other hand, Zhou Zimo’s grandfather and father were the classic slaves to their wives. Both of them deed their wives above all else as a philosophy and way of life.
“She’s not as ferocious as the queens in your family,” Mu Yuchen plainly said, then he closed his laptop and sipped his drink.
“Is she that great? Previously, I’ve seen won who are more beautiful and more charismatic than her. There were so many, yet you didn’t seem to care. Su Chen was still bewildered. How can your taste be like this? For soone like you, usually, everyone thinks that you should find soone complentary to you...”
Zhou Zimo narrowed his eyes and shot him a bemused look. “In fact, I was thinking, how do you two even date? It’s like matching a block of wood with an ice cube...”
“When the ice lts, it can then seep into the wood and beco as one.”
He put his laptop away and looked at Zhou Zimo, the dim lights reflecting on his face. He looked like he had eased a little. A while after that, he peered down at he drink that swayed in his glass and sighed, “All these years, I have indeed t many girls who were much more excellent than her. Their looks and talents aren’t inferior to hers either...”
He breathed in and sipped his drink again before he continued, “Fate. All of this can only be called fate. Obviously, those girls were great whilst she’s very ordinary... but those girls might not be pleasing to the eye. She’s pleasing to the eye...”
Zhou Zimo was stunned as his eyes were fixed on Mu Yuchen.
“She’s very suitable for , so I chose her.”
His tone was calm and his wise eyes were filled with certainty as he downed the drink in his glass.
Zhou Zimo looked at him for a long ti, then he nodded. “Okay then, buddy, congratulations. You’ve finally given away your pure first love!”
