Chapter 237: 237: Picking Up from the Airport (3)
Before Xia Siyu could answer, she felt Bo Yan behind her, tilting his head to the side where she wasn’t on the phone, and whispering softly, “Your manager really cares about you.”
Perhaps because he deliberately lowered his voice, his speech sounded even richer. Perhaps it was because he whispered right next to her ear.
Although the mask blocked much of the breath from his speech, his voice was still deep and mellow, like a well-aged wine that lingered on and on.
Caught off guard by Bo Yan’s words, Xia Siyu was stunned for a good while until Qin Baizhou called out “Siyu” several times on the other end of the line, prompting her to snap back to reality, “I really did it by accident yesterday. Maybe because I was too tired, I carelessly liked a post while scrolling. I’m not dating him. I swear on my honor.”
Qin Baizhou breathed a sigh of relief, laughing as he said, “I was indeed shocked when I heard the news yesterday. If it wasn’t for the fact that you needed to rest, I might have called you right away. If it’s just an accidental like, there’s still a chance to salvage the situation. We could even collaborate with Bo Yan’s side, no need for him to cooperate with the hype, just as long as he avoids saying anything too harsh or directly rejecting. Let the onlookers think it’s just us trying to generate buzz, or attribute it to the show crew, thinking they’re making us create the hype. Once everyone believes it’s a marketing ploy, the interest will naturally dissipate. A free surge of popularity, I believe, won’t be rejected by Bo Yan’s side. This is also generating buzz for the show, and the show’s crew won’t spoil it. Besides, he was the one who got the like, and the liked post was a rather positive one, so he should have no reason to refuse.”
Bo Yan, standing behind her, heard the entire conversation between Qin Baizhou and her. He slightly narrowed his eyes, thinking back to the last time he saw Qin Baizhou at the “Storm” audition.
Qin Baizhou was indeed very impressive; he was always beaming with smiles. His strength lay in the fact that he was clearly very scheming, he never hid his scheming, but his schemes weren’t just for his own benefit. He also considered others.
The words he just exchanged with Xia Siyu had two purposes: he wanted to know the nature of Xia Siyu’s relationship with him and he was planning for Xia Siyu. While scheming, he also took him and the show crew into account, killing four birds with one stone.
Putting himself in their shoes, if it were not for Xia Siyu, if another manager came to him requesting cooperation, he probably wouldn’t have refused.
Unfortunately for Qin Baizhou, he had set his sights on him, especially on Xia Siyu, so it was unlikely that his wishes would be fulfilled.
Before he could speak, a sudden brake brought Bo Yan’s hand reeling in behind her, pulling her into a tight embrace.
