The meeting place was in a very romantic pub. I heard that Bai Rou often came here for a drink.
After all, it was Bai Rou that Xia Xingchen had an appointment with, so she arrived here early.
Bai Rou didn't finish work early today, but she deliberately dawdled, hoping to give Xia Xingchen a warning.
Xia Xingchen waited for her alone in the tavern for three full hours before she slowly appeared.
Xia Xingchen was not angry about this, and politely invited her to take a seat.
Bai Rou sat down opposite her, lazily fiddling with her manicure that was about to be removed.
Xia Xingchen was neither arrogant nor impatient. He waved to the waiter to come over and serve the wine.
After the waiter poured the wine, Bai Rou took a sip and her expression changed slightly.
It was her favorite wine. It seemed that Xia Xingchen came prepared.
Xia Xingchen carefully captured Bai Rou's subtle expression. She asked knowingly, "Miss Bai, what do you think of the taste of this wine?"
Bai Rou evaded Xia Xingchen, "The taste of the wine itself isn't important, right? What's important is the person tasting it, right?"
"Miss Xia's question is like asking a child who loves candy, 'Is this candy sweet?'"
Xia Xingchen smiled softly, "It seems that nothing can be hidden from Miss Bai's eyes."
"In that case, I won't beat around the bush and waste our time."
Bai Rou raised her lips, as if she knew what Xia Xingchen's purpose was this time.
Xia Xingchen looked at Bai Rou and asked directly, "Tell me, what do you want?"
Bai Rou continued to play with her manicure and pretended to be stupid, "What's going on?"
Xia Xingchen: "We are all smart people, Miss Bai, stop playing dumb."
Bai Rou smiled gently, then looked at Xia Xingchen, "Miss Xia is so smart, can't you guess what I want to do?"
Xia Xingchen's tone was icy cold. "The person you want to deal with is me. Don't make things difficult for Li Li."
Although her tone was cold and condescending, Bai Rou couldn't help but ask, "Miss Xia, are you trying to negotiate terms with me?"
Xia Xingchen replied quickly: "You can think so."
Seeing that Xia Xingchen had given in, Bai Rou was very disdainful. It was true that birds of a feather flock together. Li Li was so cowardly, and she didn't expect that Xia Xingchen was also a timid person.
Think about it, Xia Xingchen is just like that!
I really don't know why Brother Jie is so afraid of her? !
"But..." Just as Bai Rou was secretly pondering, she heard Xia Xingchen continue, "You are Gong Xia's artist, so you must know the relationship between me and the Crown Prince. If you anger me, I can't guarantee that you won't become the second Song Yixuan."
Bai Rou raised her eyes and looked straight at Xia Xingchen, "Are you threatening me?"
Xia Xingchen took a sip of wine and said nonchalantly, "I don't want to be an enemy of anyone. If they go too far, even a sick cat will turn into a ferocious tiger."
This sentence was obviously very casual, but when it came out of Xia Xingchen's mouth, for some reason, it had a kind of deterrent power that made her feel fear from the bottom of her heart.
She had also heard about the Crown Prince's doting on Xia Xingchen. If she really angered Xia Xingchen, she would be the one who would suffer in the end.
She wouldn't be so stupid!
So, Bai Rou straightened her posture, took out a document from her backpack, put it on the table, and handed it to Xia Xingchen. "As long as you agree to act in this play, I promise not to make things difficult for Li Li."
Xia Xingchen asked casually, "Is that all?"
Bai Rou nodded. "That's just it. Perhaps... you're right. You're the Crown Prince's favorite woman. I wouldn't be so tactless as to run into someone like that. As long as you take this role, it'll be a way for me to step down. There's nothing to lose for either of us."
Xia Xingchen glanced at the document and raised the corners of his lips. Perhaps the character in this script is not likable?
If you want to destroy her image in this way, you really underestimate her.
"Okay, I promise you." Xia Xingchen agreed readily.
"She is indeed the kind of woman the prince likes. She is courageous." Bai Rou praised her against her will, finished the wine in her glass, and stood up to leave.
Just as she took two steps toward the door, Xia Xingchen's warning voice penetrated her eardrums, "Go back and tell Mingjie that if you have any means to use, use them openly and honestly, and don't do anything behind her back."
This woman is really sharp-eyed and knows everything.
Bai Rou stood there for a minute and then left.
It was still early, so Xia Xingchen didn't rush back. He picked up the document on the table and started reading.
After more than ten minutes, she couldn't help but laugh mockingly. The plot was so bad, and the heroine was so crazy.
Anyone who plays this kind of low-quality little script will be embarrassed.
It seems like Mingjie won't stop until he destroys her?!
That day, Xia Xingchen contacted the director of the play and the two met.
It was only during this meeting that Xia Xingchen realized that this drama was adapted from a novel, and that this novel was heavily criticized by netizens, with low ratings, and was a completely rubbish novel.
Although he was an unknown little director and disdained to make such a thing, someone paid a high price and insisted that he make the film based on the novel, without caring about the quality and logic, as long as it could be made.
He had no choice but to agree in order to make a living.
He knew that even if this movie was made, no one would watch it.
Xia Xingchen thought for a moment and asked, "Director Ma, do you have the author's contact information?"
Director Ma nodded, "Yes."
Xia Xingchen: "Please give me one."
She had read the general script in the tavern. Although the plot was terrible, many netizens complained about it. This might... be an opportunity to turn the tide.
After getting the author's number, Xia Xingchen called her immediately.
The two hit it off and talked on the phone for a long time.
So, in the following days, Xia Xingchen turned down all her schedules and only took time to go to the recording studio to record a few songs. She spent the rest of the time discussing the plot with the author.
Gong Bingye was very upset after being ignored by Xia Xingchen. Being a singer and attending various events was tiring enough, and now he had to join the filming crew...
What's more, Xia Xingchen has been revising the script day and night before joining the crew. If he joins the crew, his body will definitely not be able to bear it!
He was really worried...
He also tried to persuade Xia Xingchen, but in the end, it was ineffective.
Why did Xia Xingchen join the crew for no reason? There must be something fishy, so he asked his special assistant to investigate.
After checking, I found out that it was Bai Rou who was behind this.
As the CEO of Gongxia, he was very respectful to the girl and was reluctant to let her suffer any grievances. However, these ignorant people under him attacked the girl again and again. It seemed that he had to clean up those ignorant employees in the company.
He sat on the swivel chair, his back straight, his hands crossed, his eyes raised, and he said to his special assistant nonchalantly, "Go, call the director of the movie that Li Li is filming."
