Chapter 382: Chapter 382: She Found a Treasure_1

"What’s the matter?" Xia Qingtian rubbed her eyes, her mind still somewhat groggy.

Bo Jingyan told her, "The sun is up, we can watch the sunrise now."

Upon hearing this, Xia Qingtian tried to rouse her spirits, but her mind was still somewhat foggy.

She sounded exhausted, "I’m so sleepy."

"Do you want me to help wake you up?" Bo Jingyan stroked her hair, asking.

Xia Qingtian paused for a moment, curious about how he would help her wake up, and subconsciously nodded, "Alright."

Bo Jingyan looked at her dazed appearance, a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes.

Then, he held up Xia Qingtian’s chin with one hand and kissed her lips. The kiss was gentle at first, but soon grew hotter and hotter.

Xia Qingtian was almost panting from the intensity of his kiss.

She felt that Bo Jingyan wasn’t just trying to kiss her, but devour her whole, which instantly snapped her back to alertness.

"Uh, I’m awake now." She pushed against Bo Jingyan’s chest, mumbling somewhat dazedly.

Upon hearing this, Bo Jingyan, finally satisfied, released her.

Indeed, Xia Qingtian was now fully awake.

She looked towards the horizon and saw the sun slowly rising from the horizon, breaking the darkness and illuminating the entire world.

The sight was truly spectacular and awe-inspiring.

It was a marvel of nature, unmatched by any man-made creation.

Only when the sun had fully risen and started baking the earth did Bo Jingyan and Xia Qingtian begin their descent from the mountain.

Upon getting off the mountain, they casually grabbed something to eat and then spent the rest of the day playing in the countryside. It was only in the evening that they returned to the city.

On the way back, Xia Qingtian felt somewhat reluctant to leave.

Seeing this, Bo Jingyan held her hand, "If you like it, we can dedicate two days each month for family outings."

"That would be great." Xia Qingtian enthusiastically agreed.

She also wanted to take An’an out more often for walks and fun trips outside.

After the joyous weekend, everyone was back to being a corporate slave, working diligently.

Xia Qingtian came to the company, hitching a ride with Bo Jingyan.

Now that Cheng Bingbing was busy filming every day, her affairs were handled by her assistant, and Xia Qingtian only needed to make some minor decisions.

With that, she was idle again.

Their entertainment company had always been losing money, but its scale was truly large, and it was unrealistic to expect Cheng Bingbing, who was still in her developmental phase, to support the entire company’s operations.

More importantly, her goal was to make the company profitable, just barely maintaining operations wasn’t enough.

Thus, it was time to nurture the next talent.

Xia Qingtian pulled out the artists’ information again and immediately noticed a young boy with a baby-faced appearance yet a rebellious glint in his eyes. Despite his youthful look, there was a devil-may-care charisma about him.

Even though she was used to seeing Bo Jingyan’s otherworldly handsome face every day, she still found this young boy strikingly refreshing upon first sight.

It seemed there was no artist of this style in the entertainment industry yet, right?

Xia Qingtian’s eyes lit up, she felt like she had discovered another promising seedling.

This was him, Huo Qilin.

She immediately contacted the agent and inquired about Huo Qilin’s current situation, wondering why she hadn’t seen him since she joined the company.

Soon enough, she found out.

Huo Qilin had signed with their company three years ago, right when he turned 18, signing a ten-year contract.

There were indeed bright prospects for him, a natural star with an enchanting face, but he turned out to be quite intractable, unwilling to follow the company’s arrangements at all.

He rejected promotional stunts involving fake romantic partners, refused to partake in drama roles as minor characters, and resisted any form of hype.

He was restive and rebellious, also unafraid of getting sued by the company. He figured if he broke the contract, he wouldn’t have the money to pay anyway, embodying an all-or-nothing zeal.

With no possible leverage against him, the company had completely given up on him.

They planned to wait for his ten-year contract to end and then let him go.

The reason Xia Qingtian came across Huo Qilin’s profile was due to an accidental error by a colleague, who inadvertently mixed in his profile with the pile.

"Manager Xia, I advise you not to waste your time and energy on this kid. He’s a stubborn mule. Even if you feed the resources to his mouth, he won’t take them." The signing agent pleaded with Xia Qingtian earnestly.

Xia Qingtian was non-committal.

"Give me Huo Qilin’s current address and the places he frequently visits. I want to meet him." She asserted persistently.

Seeing her determination, the agent didn’t say any more.

After all, once she met Huo Qilin, she would naturally know when to retreat.

Thus, she provided all of Huo Qilin’s information to Xia Qingtian.

Xia Qingtian looked at the information in her hand.

Huo Qilin was living in a cheap shared-rent apartment, every night he would sing at bars for meager living expenses.

She decided to visit the bar that night, to properly meet Huo Qilin.

As she had told Bo Jingyan before, she arrived at the bar with her driver and bodyguard.

By the time she arrived, Huo Qilin was about to perform on stage, singing a soothing song.

Underneath the stage was a large crowd of adoring fans, both girls and boys, holding supportive neon light sticks, gazing at him enamored as they sang along.

Even some older office workers, who weren’t particularly interested in star-chasing, listened attentively when he sang.

The bar was very quiet, totally unlike the usual uproarious atmosphere associated with bars.

Xia Qingtian also couldn’t help but become immersed in his singing.

After finishing a soft, romantic song, he switched to a powerful, energetic number, instantly boiling the atmosphere in the bar.

Huo Qilin was like the king of the bar, controlling everyone’s emotions with an extremely infectious aura.

If before coming here, Xia Qingtian thought Huo Qilin’s face and charm were perfect for the entertainment industry, then after hearing him sing, she could confirm: this young man was born for the entertainment world.

As long as he was willing, countless fans would go crazy for him.

Realizing this, her heart was ablaze with determination.

The next person she would promote was Huo Qilin.

Xia Qingtian patiently sat in the bar, listening to the music without disturbing Huo Qilin.

It wasn’t until he finished singing and was about to leave, that she stepped forward to block his path, "Huo Qilin, I’m the newly appointed general manager of the company, as well as an agent. Could we have a talk?"

A struggle flashed across Huo Qilin’s eyes before his face suddenly turned cold, "We have nothing to talk about."

After saying this, he left the bar riding his stylish motorcycle, leaving Xia Qingtian standing there without chasing after him.

As she listened to Huo Qilin’s singing at the bar earlier, she felt as though she might have a clue about why he was disobeying the company.

But to confirm her guess, she had to investigate further.
