Jiang Shenghe couldn’t help but snort after hanging up the call.
He always made it a point to invest personally in his film. That was how he could ensure that he had complete control over his work.
Sure enough, he was also willing to take on investnts from other investors.
However, he wouldn’t accept large sums, nor would he give out important roles in exchange for those investnts. After joining the crew, the actors had to follow the rules he set as well.
Thus, it was like the investors sent their own artists to the film set for training. After all, everyone said that Jiang Shenghe was great at coaching and edifying actors.
They would usually leave the set with their skills remarkably improved.
Theoretically speaking, the “queen of animals” role was a third lead with minor significance, and an investnt of ten million yuan should have been adequate.
Nevertheless, it was Xia Xibei who got the role!
Jiang Shenghe wouldn’t have minded trading the role for a considerable sum of money before he found an actress who fit the role.
However, Xia Xibei’s performance and competence impressed him so imnsely that he wouldn’t change his mind now.
Therefore, he didn’t even have to think before turning down his friend’s offer.
He was only praying that Xia Xibei could cure his son.
On the other end, Xia Xibei inford Pan Yan about the matter after her leave application was “approved.”
“What?! You’re not going on that day?!” Pan Yan shrieked in disbelief. “That’s the opening ceremony! You can’t be absent!”
That was Director Jiang Shenghe’s opening ceremony! No artists were allowed to be absent, regardless of their rankings!
Xia Xibei nodded, “I understand that, but I’ve sorted things out with him, and I won’t be going.”
Pan Yan looked completely puzzled.
“You’ve sorted things out with Director Jiang? How did you do that?”
Besides, when was Director Jiang ever that easygoing?
Everyone knew that Director Jiang’s hot temper was just as great as his fa and talent. He was known for his hotheaded nature.
It wouldn’t show normally, but he would flare up if sothing displeased him.
Once he flared up, there was hardly anyone who could appease him.
That was why Pan Yan had never thought of taking a leave. Moreover, he wondered what made Xia Xibei willingly compromise this major event.
“I just talked to him about it, and he agreed to it. So, you don’t have to worry. I won’t take my career lightly.”
Though she was confident, Xia Xibei wouldn’t ss around.
“Did he really agree to it?”
Pan Yan could not believe it.
“Yes,” Xia Xibei reiterated. “So I’m not going on that day.”
It took her quite so effort to convince Pan Yan.
He was still dazed, even after hanging up. When did Xia Xibei beco so close with Director Jiang?
Could they be relatives?
Unaware of what Pan Yan was fathoming, Xia Xibei hung up and told Qiao Yanjue, “I’m gonna go wash my hands.”
“Sure, go ahead.”
Xia Xibei stood up and walked out.
She washed her hands thoroughly in the restroom outside, then tidied her cap a bit before making her way back to the chamber.
However, she ca to a sudden halt at a corner.
There were two figures standing behind a huge flowerpot, tangled up in each other.
She might have just walked off if she hadn’t seen the guy’s face.
Upon recognizing the guy, she quickly fumbled to get her phone out of her pocket.
After capturing pictures of the two of them, she uploaded them on social dia and deleted the pictures afterward.
Only then did she continue her way back to the room.
However, soone darted out before she could walk far.
“Stop right there!”
