Xi Xiangdong looked at the vivid and twinkling light in Pei Xiao's eyes and teased for the last time: "Girl, to be honest, you really don't want to act? If you really don't want to, then I..."
"Play, play, play! I play, I want to play!" Pei Xiao suddenly rushed over and grabbed his hand.
Mr. Xi moved his tightly clenched fingers and suppressed laughter: "Then do your homework and prepare well for the audition."
Pei Xiao got the script, thought about it, and then turned around and said, "Mr. Xi, if I can win this role, is there any...reward?"
Xi Xiangdong raised his eyebrows: "Want to negotiate terms with me?"
"No," she hurriedly waved her hand, "Don't companies generally have encouragement awards for newcomers who make particularly fast progress? I just want... to get your approval, Mr. Xi."
Seeing her almost biting her lip, Xi Xiangdong's thin lips slightly curved: "Let's wait until you get the role."
"Well, I'll leave first." Pei Xiao hugged the script and ran away. Negotiating with Boss Xi was too much brain power.
Not long after Pei Xiao left, Yang Yunguang barged in.
Xi Xiangdong was answering the phone. He frowned slightly when he heard the voice. He held the phone in one hand and pointed to the sofa with the other.
Yang Yunguang didn't even sit down and slapped the script loudly on Xi Xiangdong's desk.
"What do you mean? I was asked to star in the film, and the opportunity was given to Pei Xiao. Take a look at the list of candidates, is Pei Xiao qualified?"
Xi Xiangdong covered the receiver with one hand, finished the call slowly, and then glanced at her: "Why is Pei Xiao not qualified? Didn't you come here the same way?"
"You..." Yang Yunguang was speechless, took a deep breath, and asked, "Are you determined to support her now?"
Xi Xiangdong shrugged: "You can think so. I just threw the opportunity to her. Whether she can seize it depends on her own ability."
Starring in director Chen's blockbuster was a heaven-sent start for Pei Xiao. You must know that the effects of starring as a heroine in a popular bad movie are not comparable to that of an important supporting actress in a commercial blockbuster with a super luxurious lineup.
Yang Yunguang also lost his temper: "Anyway, if Pei Xiao acts in this film, I won't act in it."
Xi Xiangdong sneered with floating lips: "It just so happens that Xiaoou has been complaining about me and refused to give her the chance to star."
"Xi Xiangdong, you..."
He had already stood up: "I made an appointment with Director Chen for a dinner. If you want to act or not, please give me an answer when you come back, so that I can arrange someone to take your place for the audition."
Yang Yunguang opened her lips and looked at his cold back as he left. She couldn't reconcile herself to the fact that a person who was her substitute a few days ago was suddenly going to be on the same stage with her. But the film directed by Chen Ke was not human.
Everyone has a chance to star...
Sitting at Xi Xiangdong's desk, she was flipping through the script in confusion. Suddenly, her eyes fell on the drawer with a leak.
When she saw that no one was outside the door, she opened the drawer by mistake and found a Cartier jewelry box lying in the corner.
She opened it curiously, and the bright brilliance of the diamond flowed in her palm. She was stunned, picked up the ring and looked at it carefully. The familiar style brought back some memories that were sinking in her heart...
That year, in Hong Kong...
She thought for a long time, then suddenly closed the lid of the box and held the ring in her palm.
Outside the office, Lin Xiangyuan asked: "Ms. Yang, are you leaving now? Mr. Xi hasn't come back yet."
"I'll call him when he comes back." Yang Yunguang clenched his palms and quickly walked into the elevator.
