Chapter 425 - 419: Invite Jiang Yongge to be the Male Lead

Chapter 425: Chapter 419: Invite Jiang Yongge to be the Male Lead

His gaze dropped, and there was a tinge of gloom and sorrow in his eyes.

Tang Honghe suddenly stood up, "Not enough liquor, Jiashu, let’s go open all of Brother Dang’s bottles. Brother Dang’s liquor must all be top-notch."

Shen Dang was rinsing vegetables for Qiao Xi and lazily lifted his eyelids upon hearing this, saying, "A few bottles of liquor are in the cabinet, go open them."

Tang Honghe pulled Qu Jiashu to his feet.

"Jiashu," Tang Honghe closed the kitchen door and lowered his voice, "You still haven’t gotten over Paula, but now her whole heart is tied to Chen Jiayan. You need to control yourself."

Qu Jiashu’s eyes held an indecipherable depth and, looking up as if nothing was wrong, he said, "I know, do you really need to tell me this?"

Tang Honghe sighed softly. From that look in his eye, anyone observant could tell at a glance.

He hasn’t really gotten over her, has he?

If he really had, it wouldn’t be like this.

Tang Honghe said, "Miss Lin is a good person."

Since he had made a decision, there was no room for regret.

As a good brother, Tang Honghe hoped he would cherish everything he had now and not let himself have any regrets later.

"I know."

Tang Honghe and Qu Jiashu each carried a bottle of red wine out of the kitchen.

Upon emerging, Qu Jiashu saw Xie Baola snatching food from Chen Jiayan’s bowl.

Only people who were close could do such a thing.

He didn’t understand where he had lost.

More than an hour later, everyone had almost finished eating, and the pace of dining slowed down.

Xie Baola wanted to smoke. She took out a cigarette pack and lighter from her pocket and laid them on the table without lighting up.

"I’d like a glass of boiled water."

She turned her head to Chen Jiayan, the implication clear.

Chen Jiayan then poured it for her.

Xie Baola drank half a glass before slowly saying, "Jiang Yongge, Movie Emperor Jiang, I have seen the movie you and Xixi acted in."

Jiang Yongge smiled, "Miss Xie, do you have any suggestions?"

Xie Baola waved her hand, "No suggestions, but I have a script in my hands, and it’s still missing a male lead. Are you interested?"

Jiang Yongge knew she was Qiao Xi’s close friend. He neither refused nor agreed, simply stating, "Both my bosses are here; I’d have to ask my bosses’ opinions before taking a role."

Shen Dang didn’t bother with the matter, lazily saying, "Go talk to the person in charge. I’d be worn out if I had to manage everything."

Qiao Xi gently tapped on Shen Dang’s hand, "Baola’s film is invested in by my personal studio, and I’ve promised Baola to be her leading actress, alongside Su Tutu."

With Qiao Xi and Su Tutu joining, Jiang Yongge would be even less likely to decline right away.

Yongge looked toward them, his eyes shining, "Miss Xie, can I also invest?"

Xie Baola chuckled, "I, Xie Baola, am not short of investment. What I need is a male lead. The role of the male lead is also important, but the drama is still skewed towards the female lead. Mr. Jiang, there’s no hurry to answer me. I’ve finished the script, but it’s not yet perfected. I can send you the script to take a look first, then you can answer."

For the role of the male lead who’s intertwined in the two heroines’ emotions, he must be good-looking and skilled in acting.

Of course, he shouldn’t outshine the two lead actresses; otherwise, what’s there for the audience to watch?

Xie Baola, having watched "Detective in the Republic," could tell that Jiang Yongge and they all had a bit of CP feeling.

Because they had cooperated before, they would have a tacit understanding.

Xie Baola didn’t want her directorial debut to fail.

After pondering for a few seconds, Jiang Yongge nodded, "Okay, then let’s exchange contact information."

"Hmm."

Chen Jiayan cast his gaze downwards slightly, "You’re making a film?"

Xie Baola saved Jiang Yongge’s number and turned to look at him, "Didn’t I tell you?"

"You only told me you were writing a script."

Xie Baola’s fox-like eyes narrowed as she scrutinized him, her red lips curving into a sudden smile, "You’re the handsomest in my eyes. You could be the male lead in my film, why don’t you give it a try?"

Jiang Yongge: "..."

Wasn’t she just seriously inviting him?

Su Tutu spoke up, "Eh..."

This woman is a hopeless romantic!

Chen Jiayan hooked his lips, "I’m not interested, nor can I act. I wouldn’t want to ruin your script. Mr. Jiang’s acting is indeed good."

Xie Baola became proud, "That’s right, my judgment is still decent."

"You’ve quickly taken a fancy to my company’s emperor. You can’t say otherwise about your taste," Shen Dang casually remarked.

If he said her taste was bad, that meant Jiang Yongge was no good.

There was no such thing as a bad emperor under his company.

Xie Baola eyed him, snorting with a laugh, "That’s right. At the very least, I need to find someone who can match Xi Bao and Tutu."

"Since you’ve invited my wife as the leading actress, let Shengshi Entertainment also invest a bit," Sheng Chao raised an eyebrow nonchalantly.

Xie Baola: "..."

A bunch of old cunning businessmen!

"Enough already, you all," Xie Baola was speechless, "A bunch of tycoons want to profit off a newbie director’s movie? There’s plenty of business elsewhere, why fixate on my film when it’s not even certain if it can make money?"

After all, she also couldn’t grasp box office performance with certainty.

The money invested might just go down the drain.

Every investment comes with the risk of failure.

Making a movie is no different.

"Paula, I believe whatever you do will succeed," Qu Jiashu lifted his glass, smiling at her from afar, "Let me toast in advance to the success of your new movie."

He knew, once he and Lin Muxian were married, there would no longer be any possibility between them.

Their distance seemed close, but in truth, it was already very far.

So he wished her all the best in achieving her dreams!

Tang Honghe also raised his glass, "To Xie Paula’s movie success! Don’t forget to treat us to a meal when the time comes."

"Fair enough."

Xie Baola clinked glasses with them.

Qu Jiashu set down his glass, "I still need to pick up my wife; you all take your time. I’ll be taking my leave."

"I’ll walk you out," Shen Dang rose to his feet.

"Walk me out?" Qu Jiashu laughed, "I’m not unfamiliar with the way."

Shen Dang placed a hand on his shoulder as they walked out together.

"You have something to say to me?" Qu Jiashu smiled bitterly.

Shen Dang punched him lightly on the chest, "Xixi and I missed out on two years together, and sometimes I do regret wasting so much time. Since you’re married now, try to get along well, don’t leave yourself with any regrets."

Qu Jiashu looked at him for a few seconds, "You wouldn’t have said things like this in the past. Seems like being with Xixi has changed you indeed."

But this change in him was quite good.

Shen Dang and Qiao Xi eventually converged on the same path.

Qu Jiashu envied them.

Shen Dang laughed softly, "I love her."

He said these three words calmly, without any grandiose vows, yet they were filled with profound affection.

Qu Jiashu felt envious, albeit somewhat bitter, "I get it, get it, no need to flaunt your love to me. I’m off."

Shen Dang returned to the living room, his gaze subconsciously searching for Qiao Xi’s figure.

Qiao Xi was conversing with Chen Jiayan.

As soon as Shen Dang saw her, his eyes softened in an instant.

Xie Baola was smoking on the balcony, and as Shen Dang walked that way, Chen Jiayan stood up to join her.

Shen Dang took the opportunity to sit down beside Qiao Xi.

"Have you had enough to eat?"
