In the coffee shop.
After listening to Xiao You's story, Xie Yao's brows, which had been furrowed unconsciously at first, have now completely relaxed.
A glint of excitement flashed in his eyes, and his lips curled into a wild grin.
It's like God is on his side!
He was determined to make a name for himself and show everyone that he was no less capable than Xia Chen!
Just when you're feeling sleepy, someone brings you a pillow!
The movie project that Xiaoyou mentioned came at just the right time!
However, Xie Yao still asked a few questions, feigning professionalism:
Is this project reliable?
Xiaoyou held up her teacup to hide the disdainful corners of her mouth, took a sip of tea, and her expression changed to charming and alluring.
"How could it be unreliable? Think about it, Mr. Xie, this is Director Liu's project!"
"Which of Director Liu's previous films didn't achieve both fame and fortune? In fact, most of them even made it to the international stage and are still classic films that netizens talk about with great interest!"
"If you can get this film project, it will definitely be a huge hit once it's made!"
"From now on, no matter who Xia Chen or Director Zhou are, they'll all have to be mindful of your feelings, won't they?"
Xie Yao listened to Xiao You's praise without finding it exaggerated at all. On the contrary, his face became even more rosy, and he felt light as if he were floating on clouds.
As he listened, he could almost see himself being adored by everyone and the center of attention.
Those who once looked down on him are now humbled and submissive, only to be thoroughly humiliated by him.
Thinking this, Xie Yao put his arm around Xiao You and pinched her cheek.
"You still think of me! When I become famous, I'll make you the leading lady in my movies!"
Xiao You knew that the matter was settled, and with a sigh, she shyly buried her face in Xie Yao's arms.
When Xia Chuyue came to the coffee shop, she saw Xie Yao and a female star in such a lovey-dovey scene.
She took a breath, feeling physically uncomfortable, and hurriedly went into the reserved private room.
After finishing her dinner with the new film crew, Xia Chuyue immediately participated in a public service short film shooting activity the next day.
The organizers behind this event are quite influential, and the name of charity sounds appealing. Yet, nearly twenty celebrities appeared to support the half-hour short film.
Xia Chuyue repaired her clothes, wearing a light orange short-sleeved shirt provided by the program team, with the name of the charity printed on the chest.
She wore light blue wide-leg trousers and high heels, which made her legs look incredibly long.
Xia Chuyue's photoshoot was in the second half. After arriving, she sat aside and waited for the others to take their photos first.
While she was idly scrolling through videos, she looked up and spotted a familiar face.
Isn't this the female celebrity who was seen kissing Xie Yao affectionately in the coffee shop at noon?
Seeing Xiaoyou leading a man out, Xia Chuyue couldn't help but let out a shout.
Did Xiao You cheat on Xie Yao?
However, it doesn't seem like they're in a serious romantic relationship, so Xie Yao probably doesn't care?
As Xia Chuyue thought this, her heart began to stir with curiosity about gossip.
Let me see just who this Xiaoyou is.
The celebrities and directors filming on set perked up when they heard Xia Chuyue's thoughts and perked up their ears.
Since Xia Xinxin framed Xia Chuyue last time, and then jumped and made a scene at the party, becoming the top trending topic that night, other celebrities in the entertainment industry have become even more respectful of Xia Chuyue.
Even someone as ruthless as Xia Xinxin has reaped the consequences of her own actions. They should stay quiet and absolutely not offend Xia Chuyue!
However, this doesn't stop them from enjoying the gossip and having fun.
When Xia Xinxin had her accident last time, their gossip group chat went on all night without stopping!
Now they just want to know which celebrity will be the next to act recklessly.
This will also generate a new wave of trending topics, allowing them to have a good laugh.
By this time, Xia Chuyue had already finished reading Xiaoyou's gossip.
Her initially nonchalant expression gradually turned into shock.
[This Xiaoyou is just too amazing! Her words are so persuasive!]
[It's one thing to have tricked Xie Yao, but to have so many others fall for it!]
Xia Chuyue hurriedly flipped the Bagua back and carefully examined it once more.
This Xiaoyou is not Chinese. She looks like a Chinese person, but she is actually a foreigner.
She had been living abroad until this summer, when she came to China and debuted as a minor celebrity.
Xiao You has good looks, but she never acts in any TV dramas or appears on variety shows; she only associates with directors and investors.
No one thought much of it; they just assumed she was entering the entertainment industry to hook up with rich men and marry into a wealthy family.
[But in reality, Xiaoyou was simply looking for prey!]
Before coming to China, she was already wanted by a small foreign country for fraud!
However, the reach of the scam is limited in smaller countries, so much so that nobody in the industry knows that Xiaoyou is actually a fraudster!
Upon hearing Xia Chuyue's thoughts, the other celebrities exchanged bewildered glances, seemingly unable to believe it.
Xiao You isn't a celebrity, she's a fraud?!
They also remembered Xiaoyou, always thinking she was just an unknown nobody who tried to climb the social ladder and moved between various tycoons and celebrities.
But unexpectedly, their real purpose was to scam money?
Xia Chuyue shook her head slightly, thinking that Xiao You was really too bold.
After arriving in China and making some inquiries, Xiao You decided to capitalize on the film project of the late director Liu.
She fabricated a series of lies, and to make it seem more realistic, she even set up a shell production crew, completely unafraid of being investigated by anyone with ulterior motives.
She not only dragged Xie Yao into it, but several well-known investors were also tempted!
[Director Liu's project is a great opportunity, and they're worried someone will try to steal it from them, so they're keeping it a secret, afraid of being found out.]
The investor who just went out with Xiaoyou has also been scammed.
Xiaoyou is really something else; she's got a silver tongue and hooks one after another!
After eating this melon, Xia Chuyue was in a daze.
Other celebrities also clicked their tongues inwardly.
The investor who had gone out with Xiaoyou walked in with a smug look on his face.
But as soon as he entered, he was met with sympathetic and pitying glances from the other celebrities.
Several even shook their heads with regret.
It felt as if I hadn't just gone outside to talk, but rather taken a trip to the eighteenth level of hell.
The man scratched his head, and when he saw Xiaoyou looking this way, he gave her a reassuring smile.
Xiaoyou was instantly relieved.
Well, another sucker has been found!
