Chapter 237 Thinking of you, I have no concentration on work!
Chapter 237 Thinking of you, I have no concentration on work!
Jiang Qianxun sat on the bed, took out the invitation letter from the drawer, with a smile on her lips.
"Yeah. I just woke up. When did you come back?"
"More than ten minutes ago." Xing Mingyu held the phone, raised his long legs, and walked over the black suitcase that Assistant Zhou had not yet put away.
He returned to the long desk, crossed his legs, and sat lazily on the leather chair.
He didn't sleep well last night because of the video call with her yesterday. He just arrived at the company after a long flight today, when he heard that there was a big problem with the design drawings for the foreign market and he couldn't go back to see her immediately.
He just wanted to smoke a cigarette to relieve his emotions.
The man's bony hands had just touched the cigarette box when the young woman's voice came from the other end of the line.
"I didn't disturb your work, did I?"
Xing Mingyu pulled out a cigarette with his long fingers, narrowed his brown eyes, and after a few seconds, he opened his thin lips and said, "Yes."
On the other end of the phone, Jiang Qianxun was stunned: "Ah?"
Before she could react, the man's deep voice sounded again on the other end of the phone.
There seemed to be a hint of lust that could not be concealed in his tone.
"When I think of you, I lose my focus on work!"
The two of them were clearly having a voice call, but somehow, after hearing these words, Jiang Qianxun could clearly feel the obviously ambiguous atmosphere, and the next moment, her whole body felt hot.
I could barely hold the knife to cut the steak!
She didn't know what to say.
It seems that after the two of them officially started dating, they don’t know what to say.
In order to avoid this blushing, heart-pounding and awkward atmosphere, Jiang Qianxun forced herself to calm down. After a few seconds, with her back burning, she tried to ease the atmosphere by changing the subject.
"I'm sorry to bother you. To make it short, I called you to tell you that I will be attending a charity banquet with my grandmother tonight."
"okay, I get it."
Just as he finished speaking, Jiang Qianxun heard a knock on the door and Assistant Zhou's anxious voice from the other end of the phone.
"Mr. Xing, all the persons in charge of overseas markets are here, waiting for you."
As soon as Jiang Qianxun heard the man's words, she knew that he had something urgent to tell her. She was just worrying about how to ease the embarrassment, so before the man could speak, she interrupted him.
"You have something urgent to do, go ahead! I also have to get ready to attend the banquet."
After saying that, she hung up the phone without waiting for the man to speak!
......
at the same time.
In the city center, in the dressing room of Zhao Xi's studio, a long-lost happy atmosphere was welcomed.
"Ms. Zhao, please tilt your head a little bit. Yes, this is the best."
"Ms. Zhao, please close your eyes. I will take care of your eye bags."
Around and above the large mirror, more than a dozen round-headed lamps shone on Zhao Xi.
Zhao Xi closed her eyes, surrounded by people like the moon surrounded by stars. She was wearing casual clothes and closed her eyes, letting the makeup artist put delicate makeup on her face.
But the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
Moreover, Zhao Xi is undoubtedly good-looking. Even with their eyes closed, the five stylists are still shocked by Zhao Xi's beautiful face.
The makeup artist who was working on her eye bags stopped and couldn't help but give her a compliment.
"Ms. Zhao is indeed one of the best actresses with movie looks in China. She is so beautiful!"
Zhao Xi didn't answer with his eyes closed, but the curve of his mouth deepened significantly.
At the door of the dressing room, Mengmeng was on the phone.
"Okay, okay! However, the status of the second female lead is indeed a bit low. Director Li, please wait for me to ask our Xixi if she wants to play the role."
"Okay! It's settled then! I'll reply to you within three days, okay! I won't bother you here anymore! Bye!"
Mengmeng hung up the phone, turned around, and walked in with brisk steps. Seeing that Zhao Xi's makeup was almost done and she had regained her former radiance, she was very satisfied. She picked up her phone and took more than a dozen photos.
After the photos were taken, Zhao Xi's makeup was completely done. At this time, the two stylists who were waiting with the dress hurried forward to match the dress, bag, jewelry, etc.
Mengmeng did not miss any details and continued to take dozens of photos with her mobile phone. She then selected some photos with particularly good angles and effects and made professional picture designs, which she then revealed to her big fan leader.
After the photos were taken, Zhao Xi put on his dress.
After the makeup artist and stylist who kept praising her left the dressing room with the help of their assistant, Meng Meng closed the door and said happily, "Xixi! You look so good like this! I feel like I'm seeing you when you were at the peak of your fame."
After being soft-banned for so long, this moment finally arrived. Zhao Xi looked at himself in the mirror with satisfaction, a rare smile in his clear eyes.
Seeing that she was still missing one last thing, she took the black brocade box on the dressing table.
"So do I need to put this thing on now?"
"No, wear it when you get closer to the venue. This is a rare item, and you must wear it to wow everyone when you walk on the red carpet! As long as you seize this opportunity, I believe you will become famous again!"
"Okay!" Zhao Xi put down the brooch and asked casually, "What's the situation on Weibo now?"
When talking about Weibo, Mengmeng's smile froze a little.
When Zhao Xi saw this, the light in his eyes dimmed a little: "What? The situation online is not good?"
Meng Meng smiled again quickly: "No, actually you have a very good reputation, and many people support you. It's just that most of the good news about you has been blocked, and it's a bit difficult to deal with Jiang Qianxun's fans and some passers-by."
"But it doesn't matter. You should have heard it just now. Director Li, who won the Best Director Award, also called you and said that he wants you to play the second female lead with a complicated role!"
"I know this role, it's adapted from a novel. If you go for it, your ranking will be a bit low, but this role is good. If you play well, you will definitely become popular again."
"Look, you just posted a notice announcing that you were going to attend a dinner party, and someone like Director Li came to you on his own initiative. As long as you have traffic, why would you be afraid of being messed with by that mysterious person?"
Zhao Xi felt better after hearing this: "It's okay to be the second female lead. It's not like I haven't played that role before. As long as my acting is good, it can become the cornerstone for me to climb up."
Meng Meng smiled with satisfaction: "Well said, this is the Xixi I know, full of fighting spirit."
After she finished speaking, she looked down at her watch and said, "It's still early, you take a rest, I'll go next door to put on some makeup, and then take care of other things, and by the way, arrange a nanny car or something."
"Okay. Thank you for your hard work, Mengmeng."
"No way. We are good sisters."
The two of them exchanged a few polite words, and after Meng Meng closed the door and left, the smile on Zhao Xi's face faded a little.
Seeing Mengmeng who was as enthusiastic as before, and comparing her coldness towards him some time ago, Zhao Xi's eyes were filled with a hint of sarcasm!
Good sisters?
When she was most helpless, her good sister found another female star to support!
But she also knows that this is the reality. Friends, besties, and sisters are all fake!
Now that she is no longer useful, everyone can look down on her!
What is the second female role? It's all empty talk! Female stars rely on their youth to make a living, how long can they be popular?
Her only ultimate way out is to truly marry into the Qin family and achieve a class leap!
Zhao Xi became more and more determined in this idea!
Thinking of the Qin family, she subconsciously touched her still flat belly.
Fortunately, I still have a trump card to cling to the rich and powerful.
Thinking that she hadn't called Qin Chuan today, she thought about it, picked up the phone and dialed.
The news of his appearance had already spread like wildfire on the Internet, and Qin Chuan was able to see some of it more or less.
He should answer his call!
Zhao Xi looked at the phone on the desk waiting to be connected with anticipation in his heart.
After waiting for about forty seconds, the phone finally vibrated and the call time appeared on the screen.
His heartbeat quickened, and Zhao Xi quickly picked up his phone: "Achuan, are you done?"
Zhao Xi's voice was sweet to begin with, and coupled with the excitement that was hard to conceal, it even seemed as if there was a hint of sob in his voice, which made him even more pitiful.
There was a few seconds of dead silence on the other end of the phone!
The next second, Qin Chuan's voice came.
"Yeah. You called me, what's the matter?"
Hearing the distant and polite tone in Qin Chuan's words, Zhao Xi's excitement instantly disappeared by more than half!
She lowered her mouth and looked at herself in the mirror, which was full of disappointment.
Still so cold?
But she can't panic, just answer the phone.
"Nothing. I just thought that you've been busy for a while, and we haven't been in touch for a long time. I wanted to ask you how you've been doing recently and what you've been busy with today."
Even though she was disappointed, she still maintained her persona as a gentle older sister.
Sure enough, after these words were spoken, Qin Chuan's voice became a little warmer, and he answered her questions one by one.
"Very good. I'm going to a charity gala with my mother today."
He will go!
Thinking that he would be able to see him tonight, Zhao Xi finally felt better and smiled at himself in the mirror: "I was also invited tonight, what a coincidence."
Qin Chuan's voice suddenly disappeared from the other end of the phone.
It lasted so long that Zhao Xi thought Qin Chuan had hung up the phone. She put down the phone and saw that the call was still going on.
She was puzzled.
"Achuan? What's wrong? Why aren't you talking? Are you tired from work recently?"
It was rare that Qin Chuan answered the phone, and Zhao Xi tried to find a topic to talk about.
There was still no response from the other end of the phone.
Zhao Xi was a little anxious, and wanted to ask him what was wrong? Why did he become speechless when he heard that she was going?
Is it really... that I don't want to see her that much?
But these words did not fit in with the character of a gentle older sister, so she had to force herself to say something else.
"Or... have you been too tired lately, am I disturbing you?"
This time, Qin Chuan's strange voice finally came from the other end of the phone: "Well, I'm very tired. Thank you for your concern. If there is nothing else, I will hang up first."
Hearing Qin Chuan's obvious indifference, the smile on Zhao Xi's face completely disappeared, but she didn't dare to say anything else. She could only say: "Okay..."
"Wait a moment."
On the other end of the phone, Qin Chuan suddenly spoke again.
Zhao Xi thought he was going to keep her, so her hand holding the phone paused, then her face was instantly filled with anticipation, and her voice became sweet.
"Achuan, do you have anything else to do?"
"Do what I asked you to do last time as soon as possible. We are all adults. Don't make me repeat myself again and again about something that is good for both you and me."
On the other end of the phone, Qin Chuan finished speaking and hung up.
Zhao Xi was completely stunned!
It's like a basin of cold water poured over your head!
If Qin Chuan was just indifferent before, then what he said just now was nakedly ruthless.
Zhao Xi's face turned pale, and he couldn't hold the phone steadily in his hand, and it fell back onto the table with a bang.
After not seeing each other for such a long time, the first thing Qin Chuan said was to ask her to abort the child!
But why!
She had clearly coaxed him last time at the Qin Family Club.
During this period, she didn't bother me anymore. Except for the five calls she made yesterday, she only called me once a day at most. Sometimes she didn't call or send messages for several days.
