Chapter 285: Chapter 285 Qiuya Offers A Strategy_1

Bai Xiaosheng said a widely-circulated motivational phrase, which made Zhao Xiaoying laugh.

"That quote from the big shot has inspired quite a few people... Um, including me, doesn’t make much difference." Zhao Xiaoying chuckled and stood up straight.

The evening breeze gently caressed, stirring Zhao Xiaoying’s hair tips. Zhao Xiaoying reached out to tuck a stray lock of hair behind her ear.

This natural gesture had Bai Xiaosheng slightly dazed.

Back in Tiannan, on a beautiful night, there was a beautiful and pure girl who made the same motion, which had sunk him into deep infatuation from which he could not extricate himself.

Before him, Zhao Xiaoying also carried that pure aura. This gesture filled Bai Xiaosheng with a warm feeling.

The night was delightful.

The two remained silent, quietly enjoying the tranquility of the evening breeze.

"We’ve been talking for so long, and you know my name, but I still don’t know yours," Zhao Xiaoying suddenly said with a smile.

Bai Xiaosheng glanced at her.

"My name is Bai Xiaosheng," Bai Xiaosheng announced his name, waiting for her surprise.

"That’s a nice name." To his surprise, Zhao Xiaoying just calmly nodded and even joked, "It seems we might be of the same generation, both with the ’Xiao’ character in our names."

After saying that, Zhao Xiaoying could hardly keep from bursting into laughter.

"You don’t recognize me?" Bai Xiaosheng was curious.

"You’re famous, and I’m supposed to know you?" Zhao Xiaoying was even more curious.

"Oh, then never mind," Bai Xiaosheng shrugged his shoulders.

In truth, since he had been at Zhongjing Media, he hadn’t had Song Changkong send out any notices, nor did he attend any company-wide gatherings.

He plunged headfirst into the new media department and seldom showed his face.

Right now, in the other departments of the company, likely only a few knew there was such a vice president, and many didn’t even know his real name.

"Actually, I’m quite close with the executives at the company. Do you need me to smooth things out for you, maybe land a role as the second female lead?"

"The female lead, I’m afraid, is out of the question, because Shang Wanwan probably wouldn’t agree to play the male lead," Bai Xiaosheng laughed.

Making Shang Wanwan play the male lead, Zhao Xiaoying had just taken a sip of wine and nearly sprayed it out, coughing uncontrollably.

It was too beautiful a picture to imagine...

"Who are you close to among the top execs, to be the second female lead... even the director doesn’t have the authority to replace that!" Zhao Xiaoying laughed, shaking her head, "You got me with that joke. But still, thank you!"

Zhao Xiaoying spoke earnestly, "I was feeling unhappy today, but after chatting with you like this, I feel much better and happier. Thank you, Bai Xiaosheng!"

Zhao Xiaoying was sincere.

"You’re welcome." Bai Xiaosheng smiled and raised his glass to clink with hers.

The cool evening wind, savoring the fine wine, and chatting with a girl who shared a similar aura with "her," he was enjoying it.

Thinking of her, Bai Xiaosheng’s gaze drifted into the distance.

Xuelian, I’m working hard!

...

While Bai Xiaosheng and Zhao Xiaoying were chatting on the terrace, two people in the banquet hall were also talking and glanced at them from time to time.

Lu Fanyu and Qiuya.

After Bai Xiaosheng and Zhao Xiaoying left, Lu Fanyu took the group to see a few more paintings, explaining along the way until he was parched. He suggested to wrap it up for the time being and continue another day.

The men and women surrounding Lu Fanyu, although showing great interest on the surface, were in fact tired of listening.

As Bai Xiaosheng had thought, these people weren’t so incompetent that they lacked any appreciative and analytical abilities.

Especially after Bai Xiaosheng had commented on a painting, they too had eyes to see and brains to think. On one hand, they listened to Lu Fanyu speak convincingly, on the other hand, they tried to understand and appreciate the painting in light of its title. Yet outwardly, they still nodded frequently to Lu Fanyu’s explanations, heaping praise on him.

What they sought was those few pleasant words from Lu Fanyu—effective or not, it was still a hope.

At the moment, Lu Fanyu himself proposed to stop talking, and what’s more, he didn’t allow them to follow him, saying it wouldn’t look good if the leaders saw them, impacting the objectivity of the recommendations for them.

These men and women, their faces full of longing, strongly requested Lu Fanyu to speak again next time before they scattered reluctantly.

But in reality, most of them were probably glad to have a moment of leisure...

At the moment, only Qiuya and Lu Fanyu were together.

At the moment, the two of them watched Bai Xiaosheng and Zhao Xiaoying on the terrace, speaking in a low voice.

"Look at that little vixen, the moment she turns around she’s off seducing men. She thinks she’s fit to be the third female lead," Qiuya sneered at Zhao Xiaoying.

Originally, the competition between Qiuya and Zhao Xiaoying was fierce, and the decision on the candidate had not yet been made.

Qiuya, in order to gain Lu Fanyu’s support, had made a certain sacrifice one night.

However, having enjoyed a night of passion, Lu Fanyu did not put as much effort into it as she had anticipated. Instead, he displayed interest in Zhao Xiaoying.

It seemed he wanted to have his cake and eat it too...

Qiuya had been furious, but she didn’t dare make a scene with Lu Fanyu.

After all, there were plenty of female artists like her in the company, but there was only one Lu Fanyu.

Once, a woman made a big fuss and got embroiled in scandal with Lu Fanyu; as a result, she was directly fired by the company and nearly sued.

Over the years, the company had invested a lot in Lu Fanyu and he had earned a lot for them; of course, they would protect him.

Today, Zhao Xiaoying’s open confrontation with Lu Fanyu had somewhat incurred his resentment, giving Qiuya an opportunity to stir things up.

"This stupid woman, neglecting such a great asset and choosing to chat with a nobody. You deserve to lose to me!"

Inside, Qiuya couldn’t help but feel a sense of schadenfreude.

"This woman, truly unaware of what’s good for her!" Lu Fanyu’s gaze turned icy cold.

That man had humiliated him, and now Zhao Xiaoying was chatting with him, which made Lu Fanyu’s jealousy skyrocket.

"Don’t worry, Qiuya, I said I’d help you and I mean it. I will spare no effort to do so," Lu Fanyu huffed coldly.

Qiuya swayed her hips, shooting Lu Fanyu a full flirtatious smile. It wasn’t proper to do anything outrageous in public, so she discreetly reached out with a slender, snow-white finger and covertly drew a circle on a certain part of Lu Fanyu’s body, softly and gently.

A tantalizing itch stirred in one’s heart.

"Fanyu, if you help me, I won’t forget this favor," Qiuya purred with a vulpine smile, as graceful as an orchid.

This siren.

Lu Fanyu felt a burning desire flare up, his breathing growing heavier.

To avoid an embarrassing physical reaction, Lu Fanyu turned his gaze back to the terrace, watching Bai Xiaosheng and Zhao Xiaoying with venomous eyes.

"We need to teach these two a lesson!"

Qiuya glanced over there, her eyes flitting with a malicious gleam, and whispered softly in Lu Fanyu’s ear, "Fanyu, I actually have an idea that can let you vent your anger and also make them suffer a huge misfortune!"

After Qiuya murmured her plan, a bright light shone in Lu Fanyu’s eyes.

Excellent strategy, ruthless and venomous!

Lu Fanyu looked at Qiuya, indeed she was a femme fatale.

"Alright, we’ll do as you said!" Lu Fanyu looked toward the terrace with a sinister smile, "Since they’re courting death, they can’t blame me, Lu Fanyu, for being merciless!"
