Chapter 345: Chapter 345 Fight Against Her_1

Xia Qingtian was not willing to give up so easily.

What she had said was not simply to console Cheng Bingbing.

The members of their company were clearly very satisfied with Cheng Bingbing previously. Even though she wasn’t famous and had no experience shooting commercials, they still decided to go with her. This was proof enough.

Over the past few days, Cheng Bingbing had been calmly shooting on set without making any scandals.

And the character she portrayed, the favored concubine, even became somewhat popular. Now, you can often see various memes of her on various social media platforms, receiving a very good public appraisal.

However, just within these few days, the attitude of the fashion company had made a complete 180-degree turn.

Therefore, she thought there might be something else behind this.

Cheng Bingbing wiped her tears and asked in a somewhat lost manner, "What should we do now? Do we have to give up this endorsement?"

Xia Qingtian pondered for a while, "You should go home first with the driver and get a good night’s rest. Don’t worry too much, I will think of a way to handle this."

Cheng Bingbing trusted her and left the company obediently.

Xia Qingtian stayed behind at the base of the company building to gather information and to find out who the replacement spokesperson was - what kind of image they were looking for in an endorser.

It wasn’t long before the new endorser arrived.

When she saw the newcomer’s face, shock flashed over Xia Qingtian’s face.

How could it be her?

Shi Qian?

Xia Qingtian’s gaze sharpened instantly.

As if sensing her gaze, Shi Qian looked over. When she saw Xia Qingtian, a look of guilt and unease appeared on her face. Yet, she didn’t escape. After exchanging a few words with her assistant and some staff members, she walked over to Xia Qingtian.

"Qingtian, this isn’t the place to talk. Let’s find a quiet place."

"Okay." Xia Qingtian had no objections.

In fact, she was curious about what Shi Qian wanted to say to her.

Shi Qian led her to a trendy café next to the fashion company.

After both of them sat down, without even taking a sip of water, Xia Qingtian quietly watched her and stated, "We see each other practically every day on the movie set, and I was upfront with you about Bingbing and me vying for this fashion endorsement. You never once mentioned that you were also interested in this opportunity."

Furthermore, Xia Qingtian had just managed to extract a bit of information from the receptionist at the fashion company.

The one who took the endorsement from Cheng Bingbing did not demand an endorsement fee and even made a hefty investment in the company - clearly targeted at her and Cheng Bingbing.

She wondered who she and Cheng Bingbing had offended to the point that the person would go to such lengths to harm them.

She never expected it to be Shi Qian.

Shi Qian’s face paled a bit.

"Qingtian, I’m sorry..." She bit her lip, struggling to explain, "I’m not interested in this endorsement and I’m not trying to steal Bingbing’s opportunity."

Xia Qingtian found it funny.

You’re already in the fashion company discussing the details of the endorsement contract. Is this what you call not being interested in the endorsement?

Is this what you call not trying to steal from Cheng Bingbing?

But Xia Qingtian did not lose her temper. Instead, she restrained her emotions and asked, "Then why are you here?"

Shi Qian fiddled with her fingers, "It was Mrs. Bo who asked me to come. Until today, I really didn’t know that she had accepted this endorsement for me."

"Also, before I came, I told her that this was an endorsement you had fought hard for, and that I didn’t want it. However, she insisted on pushing this endorsement to me. I didn’t want to make her angry, so I reluctantly came."

After hearing what she had to say, Xia Qingtian instantly caught onto the key point.

Mrs. Bo knew they had all but secured the endorsement, but she still ruthlessly snatched it away and gave it to Shi Qian.

However, this endorsement was nothing to Mrs. Bo.

The reason why she was keen on getting it was that she and Cheng Bingbing did not have any connections in the entertainment field. This was the best resource they could lay their hands on, being people without connections.

Even if Xia Qingtian wanted to console herself, saying that Mrs. Bo was not targeting her, she couldn’t do it.

What she could not figure out was why she was being targeted.

Just during the meal at the old house last time, Mrs. Bo’s attitude had improved a lot. So why did she start targeting her viciously now?

Seeing Xia Qingtian not speaking, Shi Qian continued, "Qingtian, I promise, I know you’ve spent a lot of effort obtaining the endorsement. I’ll try to persuade Mrs. Bo to return the endorsement to you."

"No!" Qingtian rejected the offer and then stood up from her seat, "You continue with your work. I’m going to visit the old house."

She was going to have a proper face-to-face chat with Mrs. Bo to find out what was going on.

If there were any misunderstandings between them, she could clear them as well.

Upon her words, a glint of insidious alertness flashed in Shi Qian’s eyes. She quickly followed and held onto Qingtian’s arm, "Qingtian, calm down. Mrs. Bo is not well. She can’t be provoked."

Xia Qingtian pulled her arm away from her grasp, "I’m calm. Now I’m going over there..."

"Ah..."

Before she could finish her sentence, there was a shrill scream.

Before she could react, she saw Shi Qian, who had been standing next to her, tumble down the stairs.

Lying on the stairs, Shi Qian groaned in pain, "It hurts..."

Soon, Xia Qingtian realized what had happened, and immediately called an ambulance. She had Shi Qian sent to the hospital.

The doctor checked Shi Qian. Her injuries were not severe, but since she had hit her head, she had to be kept in the hospital for observation for one night. If there were no problems, she could be discharged the next day.

Xia Qingtian felt her heart instantly lighten.

Then Shi Qian said that she was hungry and asked her to get something to eat.

Seeing her pale face, Xia Qingtian didn’t refuse her.

Shi Qian had intentionally driven her away.

Once Xia Qingtian left, she immediately called her assistant, instructing her to carefully let Mrs. Bo find out that she was hospitalized due to falling down the stairs, then she hung up.

Not long after, the door to her hospital room opened.

Mrs. Bo walked in hurriedly, with anxiety all over her face.

Shi Qian put on a shocked face, "Mrs. Bo, why are you here?"

"If it was not for your assistant’s carelessness in forwarding your leave of absence message - intended for the crew - to me by mistake, I wouldn’t have known about you falling down the stairs and being hospitalized." Mrs. Bo accused with a stern look on her face. "You’ve really grown bold now. You had such a major mishap and even dared to have your assistant hide it from me."
