Chapter 164 Are You Sick?
Fang Li put down the cup in her hand with a calm expression, "Besides, the work philosophy is just a model that can be imitated and replicated. If it is to please Mr. Xin, I can shape myself into a partner that Mr. Xin likes. If so, is Mr. Xin willing?"
Xin Qilai looked at her without saying anything.
Fang Li curled her lips. "I believe that a senior film and television person like Mr. Xin would not rely solely on a few ideas to run his work. The spiritual core that a good work can convey is far more important than anything else. Mr. Xin, why don't you take a look at our studio's script first? How about we talk after you have read it?"
Zhou Yufan said nothing, and at the right moment he took out the draft from his briefcase and placed it next to Xin Qilai.
Xin Qilai glanced down, a hint of a cold smile in her eyes.
"No wonder Xiaochen was so coaxed around by you when she was in college that she didn't even go home. She is indeed a smart-talking girl."
Zhou Yufan frowned.
Fang Li also frowned slightly.
Xiaochen.......
Soon, Xin Qilai helped her solve the problem. She drank water without looking up and said, "How long do you plan to hide? If you don't come out, I'm leaving."
Fang Li and Zhou Yufan looked at each other, and both looked towards the only door in the private room.
Sure enough, not long after, the frosted glass door opened from the inside, and a slender figure slowly walked out.
Seeing that familiar face, not only Fang Li, but also Zhou Yufan frowned instantly.
Fang Li's face suddenly changed, and she immediately lowered her eyelashes and refused to look.
"Mr. Xin, who is this?" Zhou Yufan asked knowingly, with a forced smile.
Xin Qilai waved at the man and waited for him to come over and sit on the other side of her before introducing him with a smile: "I don't believe you don't know him. Even if you don't know him, why don't you ask Miss Xu next to you? She might be very familiar with him."
Zhou Yufan's already small smile gradually disappeared.
"Boss Xin, is it because of the book or because of him that you asked me out?"
"Does it make any difference?"
Zhou Yufan, a good-tempered person, couldn't even laugh.
Xin Qilai patted the man's shoulder lovingly and said, "If Xiaochen hadn't mentioned it, I honestly wouldn't have known there was a studio called Liyun in Beijing."
Zhou Yufan: “…”
"Although the manuscript you sent me last time looked good, you've been in this business for a while. Good doesn't mean excellent. If you really want to turn those words into a product that can generate revenue, I'm sure you know you're still a long way off."
Xin Qilai paused and continued, "To be honest, the reason I agreed to meet you this time wasn't because of the notebook, but because Xiaochen asked me several times, and I just couldn't bear to refuse him again. I just wanted to see what kind of woman he couldn't let go of for so many years was like."
After saying that, Xin Qilai's gaze fell on Fang Li, who was silent.
She smiled lightly, "You are indeed good, but you are not good enough for Xiaochen. It is a relief that you have self-awareness and left him early, otherwise..."
"Aunt Lai!" Song Yuchen, who had been silent, finally couldn't help it.
He looked at her nervously and anxiously, then couldn't help but look at Fang Li across from him, lowering his voice: "Why are you saying this? You clearly promised me!"
Xin Qilai glanced at him nonchalantly, "What did I promise you? You asked me to give Li Yun a chance, and I personally arranged a meeting with them. What else do you want?"
"But, but... could you please stop saying these irrelevant things!"
"Unrelated?"
Xin Qilai looked at Fang Li sharply, "Why is it irrelevant? Are you going to be like before, a clueless brat, doing things for others without a care in the world, only to have them not appreciate your kindness and kick you out in the end?!"
Song Yuchen was anxious: "When did I say that..."
"Has that been enough?"
The cold voice was light, but easily interrupted the two people's conversation.
At a round table, the three people looked at Fang Li, who had been silent for a long time.
Fang Li slowly stood up from her chair, her gaze fixed coldly on the two people opposite her: "If you two want to discuss private matters here, then I don't think it's convenient for outsiders like us to stay here any longer."
"Fang Li..." Song Yuchen stood up and looked at her eagerly.
Fang Li quickly looked away, glanced at Xin Qilai, and finally looked at Zhou Yufan beside her and said, "Senior, President Xin has some personal matters to deal with. Let's go."
Zhou Yufan: "Okay."
Zhou Yufan quickly packed up his things, put the manuscript next to Xin Qilai back into his briefcase, and stood up. "Mr. Xin, if that's the case, you guys can chat first. We'll be leaving first."
The two of them didn't care about Xin Qilai and Song Yuchen's reactions and turned around and walked towards the door.
"etc!"
After taking two steps, Xin Qilai spoke.
There was a hint of displeasure in his tone. "Why are you in such a hurry to leave, Ms. Xu? Are you too guilty to face the consequences?"
Fang Li pursed her lips, stood there silently, and didn't even turn her head.
I heard Song Yuchen whispering to Xin Qilai: "Aunt Lai, things are not what you think. Please, stop talking!"
Xin Qilai obviously didn't listen to my advice, and said angrily, "Why can't I tell you? Ever since your mother passed away, you and your father have stopped communicating. You've called me Aunt Lai all these years, and I treat you like my own son. I can't just watch you get fooled!"
After that, she turned to Fang Li and said, "I don't know what exactly happened between you and Xiaochen, but I know Xiaochen is truly devoted to you. You were still in college at the time, and I finally managed to ease the relationship between him and his father so that they could spend the New Year together. But because of your phone call, he knew you were alone at school, so he ended up leaving his father behind on New Year's Eve and taking an overnight train to look for you!"
"Ms. Xu, just from this alone, I know how much Xiaochen values you. And yet, you actually betrayed him and got entangled with another man, causing a stir online because of your personal conduct. Just based on your behavior, I, Xin Qilai, will never work with you!"
Xin Qilai said a lot in one breath, and her chest kept rising and falling after she finished speaking.
After several seconds in the private room, Song Yuchen couldn't help but break the ice first.
"Fang Li...I'm sorry, I really didn't expect Aunt Lai to..."
"What will it be?"
Fang Li, who had been accusing Xin Qilai of this, finally turned around and looked at the two of them with a cold and sarcastic gaze: "You're confusing right and wrong and making trouble, aren't you?"
"Song Yuchen, are you sick? Why don't you just be a good actor? Why do you have to pop up every once in a while to disgust me?!"
