Su Mei rushed over. She almost guessed what Tang Yaoyao was going to do, grabbed her hand, and squeezed it tightly: "What are you doing?"
Jiang Ci also had a bad feeling.
Tang Yaoyao's alluring eyes held a mix of indescribable emotions, which ultimately turned to displeasure and anger.
Jiang Ci was startled and quickly moved closer to him, reassuring him in a voice only the two of them could hear: "Miss Tang, explain to Fourth Master properly, it's nothing, you..."
"Fourth Master Xiao!"
Tang Yaoyao ignored him and called out.
Xiao Jinhan had barely stepped into the office when he heard her voice. Although she was as well-behaved as ever in front of others, he could clearly hear the coldness in her tone.
Jiang Ci always felt that Miss Tang was capable of anything; what if she just said in a moment that there was no need to investigate, that she was the one who did it…
There was absolutely no way to back down.
Xiao Jinhan withdrew his foot, his imposing figure slowly turning around, his stunningly handsome face filled with unfathomable emotions as he looked up at her.
Tang Yaoyao also looked over without blinking, and their eyes met. In that instant, it was as if two sparks quickly ignited and collided, creating a dazzling display of colors.
Su Mei's heart pounded wildly, and she felt that every breath she took was dangerous.
Although Master Xiao's attitude towards Brother Yao was sometimes hard to understand, she remembered the rumors about him vividly, and was utterly terrified of him.
Everyone watched this scene with bewilderment.
But they could tell that when Xiao Jinhan looked at Tang Yaoyao, his eyes were even colder than before.
It seems the rumors were true; Master Xiao did indeed blacklist Tang Yaoyao. However, it's somewhat puzzling why Tang Yaoyao was still able to land the lead role.
"Does Fourth Master Xiao really want to know..."
"Come with me." Xiao Jinhan interrupted her calmly, his voice clear and cold, with a layer of blue mist in his eyes that made people's hearts tremble.
Su Mei's heart, which had been pounding, finally settled down.
Jiang Ci felt a cold sweat break out on his back.
Tang Yaoyao still maintained a docile and charming demeanor, without any hint of malice. Her eyebrows were slightly arched, and her gaze was intense, as if she had successfully accomplished something naughty.
He slowly looked at Jiang Ci and said, "Mr. Jiang, I'll leave the investigation to you alone. You must find out the truth. The person who kicked Master Xiao is truly hateful."
Su Mei: "..."
Jiang Ci: "..."
The others, not understanding its meaning, trembled with fear.
Tang Yaoyao then walked towards him with delicate, lotus-like steps.
The journey wasn't long, but it felt slow to her. Only when she reached his side did she gently smile, her two shallow dimples appearing even more adorable: "Fourth Master, weren't you going to discuss the female lead? Why did you ask me to come along?"
Xiao Jinhan's eyes were silent, and his voice was cold: "I thought Miss Tang had something to say to me."
Zhao Yusheng was even more confused about what had happened. Seeing their eyes meet, he vaguely realized something was wrong.
Did he misunderstand before?
The person that Master Xiao truly protects is not Su Mei, who made a mistake and was trending on social media, but Tang Yaoyao, who always likes to stir up trouble but on the surface makes it impossible for anyone to find fault with her.
Zhao Yusheng was startled by his own idea, but as a veteran director in the entertainment industry, he was able to remain calm and said in a friendly tone, "Let's go into the office first."
"Okay, I'll listen to Director Zhao," Tang Yaoyao said sweetly.
Xiao Jinhan narrowed her eyes slightly. At this moment, she was completely different from the dangerous and irritable little vixen she had been just moments before.
After entering the office, Zhao Yusheng closed the door: "Please have a seat, Mr. Xiao."
Xiao Jinhan sat down on the sofa.
The office wasn't small, but the moment Xiao Jinhan sat down, you could feel his powerful aura, making the place seem too small to contain him.
Then, Zhao Yusheng looked at Tang Yaoyao and said, "You sit down too."
Tang Yaoyao sat down, her posture like that of a well-behaved girl next door. She blinked, looked at his handsome face and unfathomable eyes, and after a long while, smiled and said, "Fourth Master, have you chosen the second female lead?"
"Jiang Ruyun".
His voice was very serious, with almost no inflection.
When the name was mentioned, Zhao Yusheng was stunned for a moment, his expression blank, unable to recall this person.
On second thought, someone personally chosen by Master Xiao must be a very capable person.
Tang Yaoyao felt a warmth in her heart.
My older brother is the best; he always grants my requests, and he never fails to do so.
She didn't really know why she chose Jiang Ruyun; it was just because she felt a strange sense of familiarity when Jiang Ruyun confronted her at Tianyu last time.
Moreover, she is a kind-hearted girl who likes to uphold justice. Working with her is always more enjoyable than acting with some inferior, hypocritical characters.
"She's a new artist signed by our boss. I think she's acted in a web series before, and her acting is pretty good," Tang Yaoyao immediately praised.
Xiao Jinhan's expression darkened; it seemed to be the first time he had ever heard her praise someone.
Zhao Yusheng is currently in dire need of a second female lead. Agents who have had dealings with him before have been calling and leaving messages for him, hoping to work with him again.
To be honest, there are indeed suitable actresses.
However, cooperating with one person would be difficult to explain to the other. If a newcomer came, it would not only solve the immediate problem but also ease his predicament.
He readily agreed: "In that case, I'll follow Mr. Xiao's orders."
A hint of anticipation flickered in Tang Yaoyao's eyes as she pursed her lips and asked, "Then what about the scenes Jiang Xiaoyu filmed before?"
