Chapter 1115: Chapter 1111: The Next Movie

In S Country, with the current rapid information flow, it’s incredibly easy for anyone with the means to find out a thing or two.

"Met face-to-face?"

Meeting in public wasn’t unusual, but a private meeting like this came off a little odd.

Qiao Xiaren started to sink into her thoughts. Unlike the other members of the Si Family, it seemed like she rarely saw Si Shen during her time there. On the rare occasions they crossed paths, he merely nodded slightly, cold and indifferent.

At the time, she already felt that Si Shen didn’t have a good relationship with his family, though she didn’t know the exact reasons.

Of course, Qiao Xiaren had never deliberately tried to inquire about Si Shen’s matters. After all, she hadn’t married into the family yet, and he was also a senior figure with a high military rank.

Thinking about it now, the situation felt a bit precarious.

Last time, her grandmother had also mentioned that when it came to her and Si Limo’s marriage, it was necessary to sound out the opinion of Si Family’s current head of the household. It wasn’t that their marriage hinged on his approval, but rather, the hope was to clear away all possible obstacles before the wedding.

"Xiaren, though your current status and position aren’t exactly low, it seems this path into the wealthy Si Family won’t be an easy one."

Weini, unaware of what Xiaren was thinking, quickly offered some comfort: "Don’t worry. Si Shao also said on Weibo that love is between the two of you, and no one else can interfere—not even his father. If it were any other man, I’d be concerned, but this is Si Limo we’re talking about. He’s no ordinary man."

Qiao Xiaren raised her eyes and smiled faintly at him. "Weini, thank you."

By now, Weini was far more than just a simple manager; he was more like a friend, a confidant.

"Oh, here you go again," Weini, with his naturally more feminine sensibilities, teased. Her soft words always had a way of leading him straight into emotional territory.

"You don’t need to worry about me. Once I’ve set my mind on something, or someone, no one can stop me." Qiao Xiaren lowered her gaze, a trace of emotion expertly hidden away.

She was no longer the Qiao Xiaren of her past life. She never feared anyone—or anything!

"Hearing you say that puts me at ease."

Weini was soon pulled away by the studio’s pressing matters. At this moment, he wished he had eight hands and seventy-two tricks to solve the tasks looming before him.

Guemov, unable to understand their language from S Country, couldn’t help but interject as a reminder to Qiao Xiaren: "Qiao, I just received a few more filming invitations from M Country. Your schedule in S Country might have to get a bit tighter since your career focus now lies overseas."

Qiao Xiaren nodded. "I understand. I’m afraid I’ll need to entrust you to handle picking the films for me."

"I’ll oversee it personally. You can rest assured."

Guemov took the matter of selecting Qiao Xiaren’s next M Country film project very seriously. After all, in the last film she did opposite Adelaide, the audience’s strongest impression was of her as gentle, beautiful, and somewhat of a virtuous wife and mother figure.

Many directors, having seen Qiao Xiaren’s on-screen performance, wanted to cast her in similar roles, primarily in romantic literary films. However, Guemov had no intention of letting her starlight be confined to such a narrowly defined image. He was carefully comparing and picking among the film offers she’d received.

Qiao Xiaren had a natural gift for acting, further honed by her hard work. Guemov was constantly strategizing about how to let her brilliance gradually unfold.

A truly skilled actor must have the ability to master any role in order to gain both the audience’s affection and acknowledgment from the wider film industry.

Just as Guemov was puzzling over which project would be best for Qiao Xiaren’s next step, a piece of good news came from M Country. Jason, a male star who had collaborated with Qiao Xiaren on a Louis DIO brand advertisement, was about to join the cast of the Hollywood blockbuster "Crisis III." Coincidentally, the film just happened to need an important female supporting lead.
