Lu Mingji drank his coffee and poured a glass of boiled water for Xia Xi.
"You really don't want to go?" Lu Mingji was very surprised. With Xia Xi's intelligence and talent, recording a program should be easy for her, not to mention that it is a program in her professional field.
She just needs to perform as usual, it's not difficult.
"You're asking nonsense, aren't you? If I wanted to go, why would I bother looking for you?" Xia Xi took a sip of boiling water, her tongue numb, and she felt even more depressed. "I already told you at the meeting yesterday."
Lu Mingji: "Except you, I can't find a more suitable candidate in our company."
"Why not?" Xia Xi counted on his fingers and listed them for him, "Gao Ge, Pei Yichuan, and that..."
She mentioned five or six people without interruption. Lu Mingji smiled and said, "Go ask them if they are willing to go."
Xia Xi almost vomited blood: "If they don't want to go, they don't have to go, but I can't go if I don't want to go? What's your logic? Are you deliberately targeting me?"
Lu Mingji raised his hands in surrender. Seeing her angry expression, he stopped joking and said seriously, "I also decided to let you go after considering many aspects. The first reason is, of course, your professional ability is very strong. There are few people like you in the company. Secondly, you are calm and steady, and you can quickly think of a solution when encountering an emergency..."
"Wait." Xia Xi raised a palm to interrupt him, speaking righteously, "An emergency? Are they deliberately creating conflicts on the show? I heard that many variety shows are scripted. The more quarrelsome the show, the higher the ratings."
Lu Mingji held his forehead and said, "Don't get excited. I was just making an analogy."
Xia Xi said, "What else? Neither of your two reasons can convince me."
Lu Mingji spread his hands and said, "Also, Gao Ge is right. You have a good image. You can be our Boya spokesperson."
Xia Xi almost vomited blood just now, and now she almost choked to death: "Don't say such words to coax me, I'm not a girl in her early twenties."
Lu Mingji couldn't persuade her, so he had to change his strategy: "Then tell me, why don't you want to go?"
Xia Xi was much more direct than him: "There's no reason. I just don't want to go."
Lu Mingji was speechless for a moment, then suddenly thought of a reason. He wasn't sure if it was right or not. He coughed and asked tentatively, "Are you... considering Xu Yanfeng?"
Instead, Xia Xi was surprised by his words: "What does this have to do with Xu Yanfeng?"
Lu Mingji thought he had guessed wrong, and quickly shook his head, keeping the proper distance between them as friends: "Nothing, I just said it casually."
"If you want to say something, just say it clearly." Xia Xi blew on the water in the cup, took a sip, and looked up at him. "Don't be so hesitant."
"Then I'll be frank." Lu Mingji simply risked his words. "I don't know much about variety shows. There might be some controversial clips that get circulated and discussed. Xu Yanfeng's status is not ordinary. If you marry him in the future, you will have to consider his family's opinions." After this analysis, Lu Mingji also felt that it was a bit unfair to push Xia Xi out. "I didn't think of this before. I'm sorry. If you really have concerns in this regard, as a friend, I can't hold you back. How about I choose someone else? However, I have already submitted your information to my director friend. I don't know if it's too late to withdraw it now."
"Stop." Xia Xi had no idea that his thoughts were so divergent, even considering her future marriage. "I am myself. No matter who I marry, my choice only affects my current thoughts and has nothing to do with others."
Lu Mingji stuttered: "Is that, am I overthinking it?"
Xia Xi affirmed: "Yes."
"Since it's not what I said, why don't I put you in an inconvenience and let you host the show. I really don't trust others. This is related to Boya's reputation and we can't mess it up. As one of the partners, don't you have to share the burden? You don't want to participate in the management, and I didn't force you to be the director." Lu Mingji is worthy of being the boss. He changes his face so quickly that people are overwhelmed.
Xia Xi put down the cup of water she had only taken two sips from, got up and left, as if she had never been there.

Before leaving get off work, Xia Xi received a call from Xu Yanfeng, asking her what time she would be done.
Thanks to Lu Mingji, she doesn't have to be responsible for other projects in the near future, so there is naturally no need to work overtime and she can get off work on time.
Xu Yanfeng said he came to pick her up and would not go back for dinner tonight, but would take her somewhere.
Xia Xi first thought of Ziheng: "What should I do with Ziheng? Should I ask Aunt Zhang to have dinner with him? Or should I send him to my mother's place?"
Xu Yanfeng: "Of course I bring it with me."
Xia Xi had nothing else to ask, nor did she ask where he was taking her. She just let him arrange it and hung up the phone after saying "see you later". She glanced at the lower right corner of her computer and saw that it was almost time to get off work, so she started packing her things into her bag.
As luck would have it, Huang Shiyu came to deliver her a document regarding the order verification for the next batch of materials for Jingyu Garden. Xia Xi pulled her phone out of her bag and sent a message to Xu Yanfeng, asking him to wait for her when he arrived, as she had something urgent to do.
Xia Xi carefully checked each item one by one, confirmed that there was no problem, signed it, and handed it to Huang Shiyu, which took about twenty minutes.
She took the elevator down, walked through the lobby, and saw a familiar car parked outside through the glass door of the office building.
There was more than just Boya in this building, and many people came and went. They always took a few extra glances at the car when they passed by. Xu Yanfeng saw Xia Xi coming out and got out of the car to help her with her bag. He was always so considerate and attentive.
Ziheng was sitting in the back seat with the window rolled down. He waved happily and called "Mom" with cream on his mouth. He was holding a palm-sized mango mousse cake in his hand.
