In a few days, Xiao Yingxi seemed to have become a different person.
When she was in Huacheng, Xiao Yingxi was just a college student, but since she came to Tongcheng, she has to face all kinds of problems every day. After a few days of running in and practicing, her face has become more calm and restrained.
Xiao Yingxi lowered her head and ate the supper prepared by Ou Zhengyan for her. She was probably really hungry and didn't care about her image when eating.
Suddenly, a shadow flashed in front of her eyes. Xiao Yingxi raised her head subconsciously and saw Ou Zhengyan's hand hanging above her head. Xiao Yingxi looked at Ou Zhengyan with a puzzled look.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Ou Zhengyan's eyes, but then he reached out to Xiao Yingxi in a natural manner and pushed back a strand of her hair hanging in front of her eyes.
"Be careful of vegetable soup getting into your hair."
As he spoke, Ou Zhengyan magically took out a hair tie from where he came. Regardless of whether Xiao Yingxi objected to it or not, he walked behind her and tied up her loose hair.
Xiao Yingxi was stunned for a moment, and then she wanted to stop her.
"Brother Zhengyan, I will do it myself."
"Hurry up and eat. I can still tie my hair."
Seeing that Ou Zhengyan spoke frankly, Xiao Yingxi relaxed a little and breathed a sigh of relief silently.
After finishing her midnight snack, Xiao Yingxi hurried up to the third floor without staying at Ou Zhengyan's residence for long.
Xiao Yingxi lived in a suite on the third floor by the stairs. After renting it, Liu Mingyu immediately found someone to come over and renovate the room.
Although it is not as grand as Haotianju or as warm as the apartment in Huacheng, it is still clean and tidy with complete facilities.
After returning to the room, Xiao Yingxi collapsed on the bed from exhaustion. Turning sideways, she saw the photo on the bedside table. It was a photo taken with Mas Nian on her eighteenth birthday.
Taking a closer look at the layout of this room, it seems that you can see the shadow of Mas Nian everywhere. On the sofa in the living room outside is a stuffed toy that Mas Nian gave to Xiao Yingxi when she was a child. An easel in the corner is also from Mas Nian.
Nian personally created it for Xiao Yingxi. There is a painting on the wall of the room that Xiao Yingxi and Mas Nian completed together.
"Brother, good night."
Xiao Yingxi whispered to the photo on the bedside table, then quietly closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Los Angeles, at nine o'clock the next morning, on the top floor of Yaohua Media, Xiao Yingze walked out of the elevator and saw Hu Xuan waiting for him at the door of the office.
"Mr. Xiao..."
Hu Xuan had been waiting here for more than 20 minutes. After seeing Xiao Yingze, she didn't care about anything else and hurriedly spoke, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Xiao Yingze.
"Let's talk after we go in, Secretary Xu, bring in two cups of coffee."
After saying that, Xiao Yingze opened the door and walked in. Although Hu Xuan was in a hurry, she could only follow behind silently.
After a night of fermentation, the Internet now unanimously believes that Hu Xuan and Xiao Yingze are a couple.
No, when Hu Xuan came to the company in the morning, there were still a group of reporters gathered downstairs. If it weren't for the building's well-trained security guards, she wouldn't have been able to enter the building at all.
"sit down."
After Xiao Yingze entered, he said lightly to Hu Xuan. Then he took off his coat, picked up the tablet on the table, and briefly read today's news. He waited for Secretary Xu to come in with two cups of coffee before he walked to the sofa.
Sit down.
"Hu Xuan, let's make a deal."
As soon as Secretary Xu left, Xiao Yingze spoke with a calm expression, but his eyes were extremely sharp, giving people an aura that could not be refuted.
Hu Xuan looked confused after hearing this. She looked up at Xiao Yingze and asked in confusion.
"Mr. Xiao, what do you mean?"
Xiao Yingze did not answer in a hurry, but pointed to the coffee on the table and said.
"Black coffee is good for reducing swelling."
How can Hu Xuan be as calm and composed as Xiao Yingze? Although this news has not had any adverse impact on her so far, if she keeps letting it go like this, when everyone else's eyes are all on her scandal and ignore her works
, which is not a good thing for an actor.
Hu Xuan took a sip of coffee, which was a bit bitter, frowned slightly, then raised her head and said something perfunctory.
"The coffee is good, Mr. Xiao, can you say it now? I want to know why?"
"I won't tell you the reason. You just need to cooperate with me in attending some events recently. Once the deal is over, you will become the female lead in Yaohua Media's gift drama this year."
When Hu Xuan heard this, her eyes lit up and she looked at Xiao Yingze in disbelief and asked.
"You are talking about the movie "The Final Moment" directed by Lu Ming."
Every year, Yaohua's tribute drama will become the favorite to win the championship at major film festivals. In the past five years, it has almost won the Best Actor and Best Actress awards at all major award ceremonies. And those who can participate in such a tribute drama are basically
A first-line artist under Yaohua Media.
Although Hu Xuan has become somewhat famous in the past two years and has been highly praised by the company, compared with the veteran actors in the company, her status and reputation are far behind, and she has never expected to be in such an important work.
As a heroine, as long as she can play a small supporting role in it, it is an affirmation of her ability.
Xiao Yingze's cake is very tempting. She is the number one female lead on the big screen. She may become one of the top domestic actors with this work. Hu Xuan's heart is moved.
However, Hu Xuan is also very sensible. She knows very well that no one in this circle would give her such a big gift for no reason.
After the excitement, Hu Xuan asked again.
"Mr. Xiao, can I know why it's me? In other words, what do I have to pay?"
Seeing that Hu Xuan did not refuse directly, Xiao Yingze smiled faintly, took a sip of coffee, stared at Hu Xuan for a long time, and then spoke.
"Didn't I just say that? You just need to accompany me to attend some public occasions and create some topics in the recent period. Don't worry, I will explain to the public relations department that there will never be any negative news exposed. They will only comment on the relationship between us.
Reports of relationship speculation.”
When Xiao Yingze said this, Hu Xuan became even more puzzled. If it was true as Xiao Yingze said, then she had not done anything. As long as it was not negative news, it would be an excellent opportunity for her to increase her exposure.
Let more people know about her.
Hu Xuan was confused. She didn't believe that she could get such a large-scale work just by doing this.
After thinking about it, Hu Xuan looked at Xiao Yingze and said worriedly.
"Mr. Xiao, you are a businessman. I don't think you will make a deal with me without any benefit. There are some things I think I still have to explain to you. I know there are many people who hope to get resources from Mr. Xiao.
For this, there can be no bottom line, but I, Hu Xuan, am not that kind of person. I like acting, and I want to be an excellent actor recognized by everyone, but I will not sell my body for this dream."
Hu Xuan has a tough attitude, which may be one of the reasons why Xiao Yingze admires her.
Seeing Hu Xuan's defensive expression, Xiao Yingze smiled faintly and asked a question.
"So, do you think it's your body that I'm interested in, or do you think that my previous scandal targets are just tools for me to vent my feelings?"
Xiao Yingze was also very straightforward. Hu Xuan avoided Xiao Yingze's eyes with some shame and anger, and said with a guilty conscience.
"I, I didn't say that, I just hope, Mr. Xiao, you can understand my bottom line."
As soon as Hu Xuan finished speaking, Xiao Yingze suddenly stood up from the sofa. Hu Xuan was so frightened that she sat upright. She was ready to be blocked by Xiao Yingze, but she didn't expect Xiao Yingze to say something.
"I don't have any purpose. What I just said is all about our transaction. You also said that I am a businessman and of course I will not make a loss. But how do you know that these are meaningless to me."
Speaking of this, Xiao Yingze looked down at Hu Xuan, who looked nervous, and said.
"Don't worry, if you don't want to cooperate, I won't force it. I will ask the public relations department to issue a clarification statement shortly. The content of the transaction is what I just said. You can think about it and don't rush to reply to me."
The more Hu Xuan listened, the more confused she became. She stared at Xiao Yingze for a long time and didn't think he was joking.
Hu Xuan was silent for a long time. During this period, Xiao Yingze was not in a hurry to rush her. Instead, he went to his desk and quietly handled his official duties.
After an unknown amount of time, Hu Xuan stood up, walked to the desk, and asked.
"Mr. Xiao, you really just need me to cooperate with you in attending some public events, and you won't have any other excessive demands?"
Xiao Yingze put down the pen in his hand, raised his head, thought thoughtfully for a while, and asked.
"Is normal physical contact too much? Since we are attending together, there will inevitably be some intimate contact, such as showing waists and holding hands. These should be unavoidable."
"Besides these."
Hu Xuan asked. After hearing this, Xiao Yingze smiled faintly and asked evilly.
"Is there anything else? Of course, if you want to create some topics, I can also cooperate with appropriate behavior."
"Oh, no, no need. If it's really what you said, I'll accept the deal."
Hearing this answer, Xiao Yingze raised his eyebrows. It was much smoother than he expected. He confirmed slightly seriously.
