Xu Yan's expression changed, and large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
The assistant was trembling with fear when she suddenly heard Xu Yan roar, "You come here right now!"
Her legs immediately went weak, and she couldn't even stand up while holding onto the table, let alone walk up to them.
“Manager Xu…” The assistant’s face turned pale as she stared blankly at Jiang Can.
She never imagined that the person who had just been mocking her had such a powerful background.
Even Manager Hao treats her with utmost respect!
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Xu Yan shouted sternly.
"I...I didn't..."
"Still trying to argue!" Xu Yan glared at her fiercely. "What did Nie Xin rely on to go from being unknown to where he is today? Even after becoming a movie star, he never puts on airs! He never looks down on anyone!"
"I never imagined he'd have someone like you by his side! This is so dangerous..."
"Yes," Manager Hao chuckled, "It's just lucky that it happened to be our Miss Jiang. If it were any other reporter, who knows what kind of embellishment they would have written!"
Xu Yan broke out in a cold sweat.
Having worked alongside Nie Xin in the entertainment industry for many years, he is well aware of the power of the media.
These journalists can elevate someone to the highest heights, or they can plunge someone into the deepest abyss!
"Miss Jiang, I'm so sorry!" The once arrogant and domineering assistant suddenly became humble, rushing to Jiang Can's side and bowing repeatedly.
"I was blind and looked down on people! Miss Jiang, please give me a chance to make amends!"
“Even if I were to give you a chance, I’m afraid Nie Xin wouldn’t agree.” Jiang Can looked at her helplessly. “I’m really sorry, I’m not a saint, and I’m a bit petty. I just want to do my job well, but your hurtful words make me very uncomfortable.”
"So how to handle this..." Jiang Can turned to Xu Yan, "This is an internal matter for your studio, and I don't want to get involved."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Xu Yan wiped his sweat. "Miss Jiang, please go ahead with your work. I can handle these things!"
"From now on, you don't need to come to work!" Xu Yan gave his assistant a disgusted look.
"Wait a minute." Manager Hao stepped forward, still calm and collected. "Not yet, because a reporter has already gone in, so we need your assistant to bring that reporter out."
“This…” Xu Yan thought for a moment, then immediately looked at the information on the computer, and his expression became even more unpleasant.
"That reporter didn't even make an appointment!" he shouted angrily, pointing at his assistant. "You actually arranged an interview with Nie Xin without my permission, without even an interview outline! Do you want to ruin him, and ruin our studio?!"
The assistant was sobbing uncontrollably and begging for mercy.
"We can't tolerate someone like you here!" Xu Yan glared at her. "You go in right now and get that reporter out of here. And you'd better figure out a way to prevent a single word of today's interview from leaking out! Otherwise, you can expect to face legal trouble!"
...
Jiang Can successfully interviewed Nie Xin.
Thanks to thorough preparation and her unique interview perspective, the interview proceeded in a pleasant atmosphere, and before we knew it, an afternoon had passed.
After the interview, Jiang Can put away the recording equipment and promised to give the written interview transcript to her agent for review first.
Nie Xin politely escorted her to the studio entrance, smiling as he watched her leave.
Jiang Can was able to maintain her composure at first, but once she was out of Nie Xin's sight and in a deserted alley, she couldn't help but jump and dance with excitement!
This is my first time interviewing such an important person!
Her heart was pounding with excitement, and although she pretended to be calm and composed, her palms were sweating throughout the interview.
At that moment, all she wanted to do was shout out loud to express her excitement.
But……
Before she could be excited for long, she buried her face in that familiar embrace.
Jiang Can snapped out of her reverie, met his deep eyes, and couldn't help but smile softly. Just moments ago, she had been thinking that this interview was so successful that once the transcript was published, it might cause a small sensation, and perhaps even give her a chance for a promotion and a raise.
And Master Huo was the benefactor on her path to promotion!
Her big, bright eyes sparkled, and her smile was radiant. She tiptoed, wrapped her arms around his neck, and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek!
Huo Zhixing originally came to "demand an explanation".
He was caught off guard by her sudden enthusiasm and stared at her blankly.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"What? What's wrong?" Jiang Can's eyes widened. "Can't I kiss you?"
Huo Zhixing: "..."
"Why are you so serious?" She cupped his face in her small hands, looking him over from left to right, and smiled sweetly. "Did you wait for me here on purpose? Hehe... But I have to go back to the company, work overtime, and strike while the iron is hot to tidy up the interview transcript. After showing it to my agent, it can be published!"
"I'll thank you properly when I get my royalties." Her face flushed slightly, and her voice gradually lowered. "I'll thank you however you want, I'll do whatever you say."
Her shy demeanor was so captivating that Huo Zhixing was mesmerized and almost forgot his purpose in coming here to ambush her.
However, he quickly came to his senses, coughed twice, suppressed his smile, and became serious again.
"Don't thank me yet," he said in a deep voice. "I have something to ask you."
"Hmm? What is it?"
"I heard... Nie Xin asked about the relationship between you and me?"
Jiang Can rolled her big eyes, recalling the interview process.
To ease the tension, reporters usually chat with the interviewee for a bit, and it was probably during her casual conversation with Nie Xin that the question was asked.
Huo Zhixing, without a smile, asked, "How did you answer?"
Jiang Can stuck out her tongue, a faint smile on her lips, and lowered her head in silence.
"you……"
Huo Zhixing had no words to express his suffering.
His request isn't unreasonable, is it? He just wants a formal status by her side, right? Now that Nie Xin has taken the initiative to ask, this girl won't say anything!
This clearly shows they don't want to acknowledge him?
Even so, he could only watch helplessly, unable to bring himself to hit or scold her, and in the end, he still had to pamper and spoil her...
"Are you really that unwilling for others to know about our relationship?" he asked in a low voice, tinged with disappointment.
Jiang Can's heart tightened, and she gently leaned closer, wrapping her small hands around his waist and resting her head against his chest.
At that moment, he really wanted to have the guts to push her away!
However, even after his hand was on her shoulder, he hugged her even tighter the next second.
Her tone became even more aggrieved: "Someone once said one night that we were only friends because we exchanged rings!"
Jiang Can looked up and saw his dark, sullen face, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Still laughing?!" Huo Zhixing glared at her, already having devised a whole plan for a "minor punishment as a warning"...
