After saying this, the living room fell into a cold silence. Xiangdong took out a cigarette from his pocket as a habit. Just as he was about to light it, he put it down again. He turned to Pei Xiao and said, "You go and prepare to try on makeup first. I'll ask the driver to
Send you off, don't be late again."
Pei Xiao saw that he had something to say to Yang Yunguang alone and it was not convenient for him to hear it, so he nodded and quietly closed the door when he went out.
Xi Xiangdong pointed to the sofa and motioned for her to sit down: "I haven't had any big problems with you in the past five years. You are very smart. The impetuousness and common mistakes of newcomers have basically never appeared in you. This is why I am willing to
I praise you. You have had such a smooth life in the past few years. No one in the company can compete with you for the top spot. You are almost tired of winning all the major awards. Pei Xiao is a very hard-working newcomer. I have seen more potential in her.
, I saw it later, and Director Chen also saw it, healthy competition is good for you and her, and you don’t want to just stop at being a ‘Hollywood actress’?”
Yang Yunguang opened his eyes, seeming to understand.
Xi Xiangdong is an excellent negotiator. When he said this, it seemed that praising Pei Xiao did not conflict with her interests.
But...she put her hands on her knees and scratched several times in vain, as if trying to catch something.
"I just feel...she came so much later than me, but she seems to have easily replaced my position in your heart. I have been with you for five years, shouldn't I be as good as her for these two months?"
Xi Xiangdong blew out a long puff of smoke, his expression dim and unclear behind the mist.
Maybe he couldn't answer this question exactly.
Yang Yunguang started to cry. Maybe others would think that this was just a "sister fight", but she was so sensitive that she had already sensed the difference in Xi Xiangdong's smile towards Pei. He protected her not only because of the so-called "
internal competition”.
That's why she became more and more jealous, lost her sense of proportion, and underestimated how shrewd Xi Xiangdong was.
"Apart from these? Haven't you liked me a little bit in the past five years?" Yang Yunguang asked crying.
Xi Xiangdong put out his cigarette in the ashtray and stood up.
"It's so aggrieved to ask, I would think you have a crush on me."
"I..." She blushed and became angry, "Who would like you! I will deceive you about what happened in the hotel that night, but because you are my boss!"
Xi Xiangdong curled his lips: "As long as you have acting skills, even if you don't have that connection, I will still praise you."
"..."
"In "Cang Hai", you are the leading female lead, but Pei Xiao is not even the third female lead. Do you still want to be unbalanced?"
Pei Xiao came out of the apartment right after, followed by Yang Yunguang, whose face was red with pear blossoms and rain. The driver smacked his tongue, but still smiled and greeted him: "Ms. Yang, would you like to get in the car?"
Yang Yunguang glanced at his Q7 bitterly and shook his head: "Who's riding in his car! I'll take a taxi myself!"
Tsk...even the words are the same.
Just now, Pei Xiao also rejected his kindness, saying that he would leave the car to Mr. Xi and take a taxi himself. Sure enough, every wealthy family has a love triangle that is constantly being resolved and messed up. It is really difficult for an old man like him to figure it out.
After a while, Xi Xiangdong also came down and was stunned for a moment when he saw the car and driver still waiting downstairs.
"Where's Pei Xiao?"
"Ms. Pei said she took a taxi back to the apartment and went to the studio with Mr. Wan Lai."
"Yeah." He responded and got in the car. Wan Lai was now Pei Xiao's manager, so going with him would really not cause gossip.
