1v1. The female lead is a talented actress, and the male lead is a tsundere CEO who has never been in love. This is not a consistently lighthearted, "feel-good" story.
It's quite ...
He really didn't know whether it was because his presence was too low, or because Dai Shutao didn't even notice him the whole time.
When Qin Guican went to Country M, he took a private plane. When he was about to come back, he suddenly had an idea and asked someone to buy a first-class cabin in the same cabin as Dai Shutao. His seat was the third seat behind Dai Shutao.
During the more than ten hours of flight, except for a short nap, Qin Guican's eyes were always on Dai Shutao.
Whether on the plane or on the way back, he always kept a distance from Dai Shutao, but the other party could definitely notice his distance as soon as she turned around.
But no.
Not only did Dai Shutao not look back once, she even stopped the car halfway because she suddenly asked to buy some roasted sweet potatoes on the roadside, causing Qin Guican to miss their car.
"You don't have work at this time, so do you still have time to pick up Dai Shutao?"
Qin Guican was full of gloom. The face of Zhao Weige, who used to be the living god of wealth, now looked unpleasant to him.
"Hu Ke, how do you plan the work for your artists? If you're all so idle, then just go home and pick your feet. Let others have the resources and go wherever they want."
Hu Ke, who was called out by name, knew very well that he was only implicated because of Zhao Weige. It was unreasonable for him to suffer such an unexpected disaster. As Zhao Weige's agent, Hu Ke could not refute it.
After venting his anger, Qin Guican's mood improved a lot. When he looked at Dai Shutao again, his tone was still a little stiff.
"Congratulations, you have achieved great results. The company will hold a celebration party for you."
Dai Shutao watched the excitement for a long time, glanced at Qin Guican, and felt a little disapproving.
An unexpected award did not really inspire her enthusiasm, but the group of enthusiastic fans gave her unlimited motivation.
"Thank you, Mr. Qin. If I have time, I'll go back and take some pictures. Hu Ke said she has a phone interview tonight."
Hu Ke is so smart that of course he will seize every opportunity for publicity. A chance encounter photo of her pampering fans has greatly increased Dai Shutao's popularity among the public. In addition, she has just won a heavy trophy. If she can come for an interview at this time, Dai Shutao's title of popularity queen will surely return.
"An interview this late?"
Qin Guican glanced at Hu Ke vaguely, frowned, and felt a little unhappy.
Hu Ke's heart skipped a beat, and he smiled with some difficulty: "It's... Reporter Yao from Fruit Entertainment. He's mentioned an exclusive interview several times before, and this was agreed to a long time ago..."
The more Hu Ke spoke, the weaker his voice became. With Qin Guican's eyes slightly closed, Hu Ke felt a little aggrieved.
What could he do? This had been agreed upon long ago. Besides, when Fruit Entertainment suddenly posted a negative post about Dai Shutao, it was reporter Yao who helped stop it, preventing the situation from getting any worse.
Now it's just a matter of returning the favor and paying back the goodwill shown by the other party before.
"Boss Qin, if everything is fine, let's go in first." Dai Shutao yawned. "There are a lot of mosquitoes this late."
Are there still mosquitoes in autumn?
Qin Guican could tell that this was an excuse, so he nodded with a stiff face and watched Dai Shutao leave. Hu Ke pulled the dazed Zhao Weige back to the company.
Zhao Weige is such a fool. If he continues to stay with Qin Guican, something bad will definitely happen!
Qin Guican stared at the last figure disappearing in front of him, slowly turned around and returned to the car, sent a message to Han Zhao, and waited for him to come downstairs and drive.
After flying for more than ten hours and driving all the way back from the airport, even Iron Man couldn't stand it.
While closing his eyes and taking a nap, Qin Guican couldn't figure out what went wrong.
What did I do to make Taotao dislike me so much?
With doubts in his heart, Qin Guican finally called his childhood friend late that night.
"Shao Zuo, I'm in love."
At 2:46 in the morning, Dr. Shao, who had been performing surgery for seven consecutive hours, suddenly woke up.
"Are you in love?"
"Attempted."
Shao Zuo: “…”
Reaching out to touch the bedside lamp, Shao Zuo's hair was messy and his wife beside him was drowsy.
Covering the phone, Shao Zuo explained the identity of the caller and went to the study.
Qin Guican was looking at the news on the screen with an expressionless face, unable to figure out what had gone wrong.
"There's something wrong with you, okay?"
Shao Zuo took a deep breath and wondered if Qin Guican was only thinking about making money.
"Love is something you have to fight for. If you like someone, just say it directly! Ever heard of the saying 'near the water tower'? If she happens to work at your company, just go after her!"
Close to the water?
Qin Guican's expression turned even uglier: "She doesn't allow me to look for her under the pretext of work."
"You took her uncertainty seriously?" Shao Zuo said, a little disappointed. "I beg you to use your brain. Any boss who keeps calling you work would be uncomfortable. You need to learn how to treat sincerity with sincerity. Otherwise, do you think this is just a business transaction and signing a contract is success?"
"Then why did you and Ji Wanqing sign a contract marriage?"
Qin Guican refuted all of Shao Zuo's words with just one sentence. Thinking of his nominal wife lying on the bed, Shao Zuo felt so angry that his teeth were itching.
"What does this have to do with us? I managed to trick her back, but what about you? You don't even have a legitimate reason to stay with her, right?"
It was a rare opportunity to mock Qin Guican, and Shao Zuomei was determined not to let Qin Guican go. Before he could finish his remaining sarcasm, he heard a "beep" sound from the other end of the phone.
Shao Zuo: “?”
Qin Guican put down his phone and sat in his seat thinking for a while. From his angle, he could see the lights on in the villa opposite as long as he looked up. At this time, Dai Shutao had not rested yet.
Thinking of Dai Shutao's recent achievements, Qin Guican picked up his mobile phone and switched to his secondary Weibo account.
[Ziyou Changxiao: "Congratulations to Dai Shutao for winning the Grammy Award for Best New Artist. The future is yours, and I will be yours too / rose / rose"]
After carefully checking the layout again, Qin Guican had a smile on his face and felt inexplicably more confident while holding his phone.
Proximity to the water? Shao Zuo's nonsense wasn't entirely without truth.
As for the opportunity to approach openly, he will get it sooner or later.
After a period of intensive publicity, Hu Ke took advantage of Dai Shutao's recent achievements and pushed for the release of the new album.
With Qin Guican's suggestion, all the artists of Canxing Entertainment, whether they are veteran movie stars or rising idols, have put in their best efforts to promote Dai Shutao, and the level of excitement is worth admiring.
Not to mention Zhao Weige, who wanted to post all of Dai Shutao's Weibo posts for a month in one day. As for the die-hard fan Qin Yinchu, he directly pre-ordered 100,000 physical albums as a show of support.
Of course, the official later called to apologize, saying that the expected number of copies to be issued was only 100,000, and hoped that Qin Yinchu could give other fans some chances.
On a certain Saturday, a peak showdown of hand speed took place on the Internet.
