Pei Xiao hesitated and hesitated. She didn't want to tell him about Xi Wanlai. Firstly, it would ruin their brotherhood. Secondly... with Mr. Xi's unfathomable character, she really couldn't guess that he knew.
What will be done.
However, Xi Xiangdong seemed to have telepathy. After her long silence, he suddenly asked: "What happened between you and Wan Lai?"
He said it in a question, but he said it in an affirmative tone.
Pei Xiao felt guilty for a while and hurriedly covered it up: "Can...what can happen? Isn't it just the manager and the artist..."
Such an explanation is just trying to hide the truth.
She had slurred speech when she lied, and he had already discovered this little habit.
On the other side of the phone, Xi Xiangdong slightly raised his lips: "Okay, I understand. I will ask the artist department to arrange an assistant for you as soon as possible. Don't be late for the afternoon meeting."
When Pei Xiao heard his promise, he jumped up from the bed happily: "Yes - Mr. Xi."
When she returned to the company in the afternoon, the director of the artist department brought her new assistant, her name was Xiao Qian. She had just graduated from college. She was wearing a plaid shirt and jeans and had a simple look. She would blink a few times when she saw big stars in the company.
Pei Xiao likes her very much. After all, girls have many topics to talk about in private.
Xiao Qian enthusiastically helped her get her bag as soon as she arrived. The two entered the conference room chatting and laughing. Before everyone arrived, Xi Wanlai was the first one to come. She sat in the chair in the corner and buried herself in her iPad.
What to sort out.
When he heard the voice, he raised his head and glanced, and his eyes met Pei Xiao. Pei Xiao quickly turned around and pretended to talk to Xiao Qian. He pulled up a chair and sat across from the long table farthest from him.
Xiao Qian still didn't recognize Xi Wanlai and asked her: "Sister Pei, isn't your agent coming to the meeting today?"
Pei Xiao glanced at Xi Wanlai and said nothing.
At this time, someone came in again. As soon as he opened the door, he greeted everyone familiarly: "Hello, have you had lunch?"
The voice that answered him was few and far between. Pei Xiao looked up and saw that it was Gu Nanshun.
"How did you..."
Gu Nanshun's eyes lit up and he sat down next to her: "Pei Xiao, I knew I would see you here. You don't know yet, but I will play the second male lead in this drama, but I knew you would play the female lead a long time ago.
The protagonist.”
That expression seemed to say: Look, I came to act specifically for you. His agent sighed beside him.
Xi Xiangdong arrived late in the end. More than a dozen people in the conference room all stood up when they saw him coming in. Pei Xiao also pushed his chair away and stood up. In the end, he was so excited that he accidentally kicked the chair over and scratched it on the marble floor.
There was a sharp sound, and everyone in the conference room turned to look at her.
Pei Xiao said tremblingly: "Yes, I'm sorry... I'm too nervous."
Xi Xiangdong sat leisurely on the chair. He hadn't seen her for a few days. This little girl really didn't make any progress at all.
But the leadership style is not limited. He raised his hand slightly, motioning for everyone to sit down, and then slowly said: "Can I understand that Ms. Pei feels pressure because she is the heroine for the first time?"
"Uh..." Pei Xiao lowered her head and flushed, why did she always make mistakes at critical moments!
"Pressure is good. Only with pressure can you be motivated." He glanced at Xi Wanlai, who was sitting far away. Sure enough, he was not sitting with Pei Xiao.
The blue screen of the projector projected the words "Pre-production meeting for "Unstoppable Love"". Lin Xiangyuan introduced more than a dozen people present one by one. Director Feng Lu is a royal director who has had a long-term cooperative relationship with Huanqiu. Xi Xiangdong
He serves as the producer himself. Except for the male lead, who is the current actor Qin Muzhi, who was borrowed from the rival company Star Entertainment, the rest are all from the production team of Universal's own company.
