Qiao Weiyang encouraged her, “Don’t be afraid. Anyway, the outcome can’t be worse than now. If he looks for you, ask him. Don’t leave any regrets for yourself.”
“Alright, I understand. I’ll eat first. We’ll talk about other things next time,” Xiao Qing said.
Qiao Weiyang could only hang up first.
The director walked toward her. “Weiyang, we’ll wrap up the last two scenes tomorrow. At night, the production team will have a wrap party. Are you free to join?”
“Okay, no problem.”
“That’s good,” the director said with a smile. “You’ve saved us a lot of time this time. This has also saved us a lot of money. I’ve already told President Shen.”
“It’s just my job.”
The director had a very good impression of her. She was a capable and humble young woman. It was really not that common to find people like her nowadays.
If there was a chance, he really hoped to work with Qiao Weiyang again.
The next day, Qiao Weiyang’s two scenes were filmed very quickly. After filming, she waited for the wrap party.
Zhao Xinshu had also finished filming and was inquiring about Shen Mubei’s situation. “So, will President Shen come to the wrap party?”
The director’s a.s.sistant said, “No. President Shen has already confirmed that he won’t come. He’s been busy recently.”
Qiao Weiyang could not help but glance at Zhao Xinshu. Was she still waiting for Shen Mubei?
In fact, Zhao Xinshu was not waiting for Shen Mubei. Everything that had happened during this period of time had made her completely aware that it was impossible for Shen Mubei to change his mind.
Once a man like him became cold, he would make people feel overly afraid. She was indeed tired, physically and mentally.
Recently, after a big shot in the investment world expressed a favorable impression of her, she quickly fell for him.
Speaking of which, this super big shot had known her for a long time and had shown his interest in her a few times. However, she had Shen Mubei by her side at that time and did not care about others. She wanted to be the young madam of the Shen family wholeheartedly.
Now that her dream was shattered, she had to think about her future.
First of all, she had to find someone who was truly powerful.
Therefore, she had already agreed to meet that big shot this afternoon.
However, she was afraid that she would b.u.mp into Shen Mubei, so she specially asked around.
After confirming that Shen Mubei was not coming over, Zhao Xinshu relaxed a little.
Soon, she communicated with her manager and went to see that big shot in the afternoon.
…
“Boss Jia, that’s all for today. I’ll get someone to deliver the contract before the appointed time.” Su Zhuoqian stood up, b.u.t.toned his suit, and shook hands with Boss Jia.
“Okay, President Su. I hope our cooperation will be pleasant.” Boss Jia sent Su Zhuoqian to the door with a very respectful att.i.tude.
“Goodbye,” Su Zhuoqian said politely.
“Alright, alright. Take care, President Su,” Boss Jia waved at Su Zhuoqian.
When Su Zhuoqian left, Zhao Xinshu walked over and brushed past Su Zhuoqian.
Zhao Xinshu was stunned by his side profile. She turned around to look at him, but all she saw was his back.
Even so, she was very reluctant to leave.
Her manager also saw Su Zhuoqian and said, “Forget it. No matter how good-looking he is, he can’t be yours. Let’s go. Boss Jia is still waiting for you.”
At the thought that Boss Jia was already over 50 years old and a little bald, Zhao Xinshu felt a little depressed. Not to mention the man just now, even when compared to Shen Mubei, the difference was like heaven and earth.
However, now, she had no choice. If she wanted to climb up in this circle, she had to either work very hard and seize every opportunity to climb up or find a backer.
The former was too arduous. Many people could not help but to beat a hasty retreat.
Taking shortcuts was always tempting.
Zhao Xinshu was no exception. In the face of so many shortcuts, those who could stick to their nature and walk their own path were too rare. She had seen it all, so shortcuts were necessary for her.
After adjusting her mentality and convincing herself that everyone in her circle was like this, Zhao Xinshu knocked on the door.
After she entered, Boss Jia’s eyes lit up when he saw her. He smiled and said, “Xinshu, you’re finally here.”
“Boss Jia, I’ve always wanted to see you, but I’ve been busy and haven’t had the chance. You know that in my line of work, time is not under my control. Today, I took the time to wrap up early and specially came over.”
Her sweet voice made Boss Jia happy.
This time, she was no longer cold and aloof. Her words and actions were deliberately ingratiating. Boss Jia quickly chatted with her.
When he heard that today was her wrap party and that everyone was going to have dinner together, Boss Jia smiled. He asked, “Why don’t you let me attend your wrap party too?”
Zhao Xinshu thought that this might not be good. It would not be good if Shen Mubei heard about it.
However, her manager had already seized the time to help her agree. “Alright, Boss Jia. Xinshu can’t be happier that you can go over and support her. You’re welcome to join, Boss Jia. I’ll go and communicate with the production team now.”
Zhao Xinshu glanced at her manager, but she understood her manager was reminding her to seize this opportunity. Bringing Boss Jia to the production team would be a good opportunity to intimidate others and let them know that she had a backer. That way, no one would dare to step on her.
It was just as well.
Since she had chosen this path, there was no need to avoid suspicion.
After thinking about this, Zhao Xinshu’s att.i.tude became firm. She placed her hand on the sofa and allowed Boss Jia to touch her again and again.
On Qiao Weiyang’s side, she was on the phone with Su Zhuoqian. She mentioned the wrap party.
“Can I come over?”
“Sure, but what ident.i.ty will you be using?” Qiao Weiyang asked with a smile.
“I have a certain level of friends.h.i.+p with Shen Mubei. I can say I’m going over to take a look at the project on his behalf.”
After Qiao Weiyang hung up the phone, she asked Tao Huan to inform the director so that the director would not be caught off guard.
Tao Huan was surprised. “So President Su will be coming as President Shen’s friend?”
Qiao Weiyang nodded gently.
Tao Huan was quite happy to see the two of them secretly showing off their love. She immediately ran to inform the director.
The director did not panic. In any case, he would treat Su Zhuoqian the same way he treated Shen Mubei in the past. However, he still specially arranged for a few a.s.sistants to prepare a few more types of wine. He also ordered a few more dishes and made some other preparations.
In the evening, all the scenes were completed, and everyone took photos together.
Qiao Weiyang went over, and Zhao Xinshu also rushed over. After all, the post-production photoshoot was going to be publicized. If the main leads were not around, it would easily cause criticism.
Zhao Xinshu looked especially radiant as she stood beside Qiao Weiyang. The diamond bracelet on her hand was especially eye-catching.
