Chapter 463: Chapter 464: The First Time? (1)
That night, Xue Feifei was hurriedly called away by her manager. It was late, and she was genuinely afraid of running into danger. When she arrived at the location, she didn’t dare to enter. Instead, she called her assistant and the two of them went in together.
Although the meeting was set in a private room of an entertainment center, with quite a number of young celebrities to accompany the drinks, the deputy director, producer, and field staff who asked her to come were very polite. They did not treat her in the same way as they would with the ladies in the room, who were there to make the environment more congenial.
They even treated her as an exceptionally courteous guest.
Xue Feifei had met this deputy director and producer before when she was being sidelined by Yu Sixing. The deputy director was about to finalize a contract with her, but it ultimately fell through. She had tried to reach out through her agent, but was vaguely told that she had offended someone – it dawned on her immediately.
Now, the deputy director, his face weather-beaten from the Northwest desert winds, chuckled amiably, “Miss Xue, we intended to collaborate previously, but a talent was forced upon us by the management agency, leaving us no choice. Therefore, when this new project came up, I thought I must work with you this time.”
In this industry, there’s always a chance to meet again, and if someone is willing to give you face, you should reciprocate. Xue Feifei responded with a gentle smile, “Director Qian, you’re too kind.”
Hearing Deputy Director Qian’s cordiality, Xue Feifei was fine, but her assistant was over the moon. Xue Feifei had not received any serious acting roles for months. The assistant, although paid, felt sympathetic towards Feifei’s predicament. Sister Zhang, the agent, was also present and was thrilled by the deputy director’s words.
Unexplained kindness hints at ulterior motives. Xue Feifei was on guard. She had no connections, money, or willingness to grease the wheels. The most they could harm her was an attempt to poison her through drinks, but she didn’t touch any of those. They played dangerously; she had to protect herself and be wary of slips at the last moment before leaving.
However, in the midst of a grand feast, when everyone was intoxicated, it wasn’t her who broke the silence but Deputy Director Qian, slightly drunk, came closer and asked, “I wonder when Master Yu would have time. I’m hoping to discuss the investment for my next film with him.”
Xue Feifei looked surprised, “Master Yu? Who’s Master Yu?”
Wait a minute, the “Master Yu” they were talking about, she only knew one person surnamed Yu. That couldn’t be – Yu Sixing, right?
The deputy director, with a look that screamed, “Stop pretending,” sported a self-justified smile, “Master Yu has been working hard for you, Miss Xue. In the middle of the night, he called our company to insist that we invite Miss Xue over. Master Yu is the biggest investor for our film. He told us to secure Miss Xue at any cost. If we didn’t agree, he would withdraw the investment.”
Last time they outright refused, but now they’re making such a request in the middle of the night. Obviously, last time there was a lovers’ tiff, and now they’re trying to appease thestar. Moreover, he had learned that Yu Sixing had been without a steady girlfriend for months and that he never chased female celebrities. So, he was serious about Xue Feifei, right?
“I’m not with him…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Xue Feifei saw Yu Sixing walk into the private room.
