The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me!

The call was made, the “beep beep” sound waiting for a connection filled the room.

In the quiet car, Wei Jingjing’s dialing was particularly grating to the ear.

On the other end, Bo Yan was still drinking. Qin Baizhou was talking to him about some of the preparations for “Spring Light.” He got halfway through when Bo Yan’s phone rang. Bo Yan picked it up and saw that it was a call to his secondary card.

The number seemed vaguely familiar, likely from Xia Siyu’s assistant.

“Bo Yan, what’s wrong?”

Yu Fenfei asked him, “Is there something important? If there is, you should take the call first.”

Bo Yan just glanced at it and ignored it, pocketing his phone, “It’s nothing important, just a nuisance call. Let’s continue. As I was saying, I think it’s best to shoot “Spring Light” smoothly. A good movie is not afraid of delays, but I’m worried that Director Sun might make storytelling a bit complicated. Actually, the script is very solid, we just need to shoot the story well.”

Yu Fenfei nodded, “Right. He’s a newcomer, no need for those stream-of-consciousness or montage structures, just tell the story honestly and cleanly.”

On this side, Wei Jingjing was still waiting, and Xia Siyu’s heart had jumped to her throat.

If Shengxia Yanyu had picked up the call and denied it, she would have had to come up with another excuse. Of course, she could also choose not to explain, but knowing Qin Baizhou’s personality, he would definitely investigate thoroughly. She didn’t reply, so he would go and ask at those places selling advertising spots!

Over the years, there indeed has been a power struggle between artists and their managers, especially over issues that could tarnish the reputation of the artists. She knew she was hot-tempered and impulsive, sometimes when Qin Baizhou wanted to pry into her private life, as long as it was unrelated to the Xia Family or the Bo Family, she usually couldn’t be bothered to ask and let him handle it.

But this time, he seemed to have gone too far.

No matter what Xia Siyu was thinking, on the other side, Wei Jingjing’s call kept on dialing until, after thirty seconds, it automatically disconnected.

Wei Jingjing held her phone, “Brother Qin, he’s not answering.”

Xia Siyu’s breath eased a bit, and anger began to well up inside her again as she said, “Brother Qin, you’ve overstepped this time. If we really tracked down Shengxia Yanyu and the gift was from him, how could you claim it for the company? I know you mean well, but this could hurt the fans. With so many years of supporting me, you know what Shengxia Yanyu is like. He wouldn’t even show his face at a fan meet, would he speak directly to the media? Even if I really owe him, it’s my debt, not the company’s place to interfere. No matter how much that gift cost, I won’t shortchange him, and I’ll even pay him for those movie tickets he bought before.”

It was rare for Qin Baizhou to see Xia Siyu this angry and serious. He had indeed been a bit too anxious and flustered just before.

Bo Yan had just walked away, and now there was Shengxia Yanyu. Each was a formidable opponent.

Yet Qin Baizhou was still very adept at managing situations, and he quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, all I thought about was how to protect your reputation from being harmed, I was biased in my consideration, not handling things properly. However, Shengxia Yanyu didn’t come to the meeting, and Jingjing still has to call him to send the merchandise. If he replies later, I’ll have Jingjing send him a double portion of the gift as an apology.”

Xia Siyu nodded, her face serious, “Okay. I’ll also say something to him.”

Then she boldly took out her phone in front of Qin Baizhou, logged into her alternate account, and sent a private message to Shengxia Yanyu:
