Chapter 251: 251 Confrontation (1)
This time, when Xia Siyu encountered Bo Yan, she felt a bit strange.
She turned her head to glance at Qin Baizhou with a questioning look. Qin Baizhou just smiled and did not answer her question.
When Xia Siyu looked over, she saw that it wasn’t only Bo Yan over there; Assistant Song Fengzhi and Bo Yan’s agent were also present.
Bo Yan’s entry into the entertainment circle had faced strong opposition from the Bo Family. The Bo Family couldn’t afford to lose face, and they didn’t want their descendants to sell laughs in the entertainment industry. Especially since Bo Yan himself was a university lecturer, someone who could become a professor in the future, becoming an entertainer was considered utterly rebellious and unorthodox.
But Bo Yan insisted, and his cousin Bo Yi also supported him—actually, it was because he hoped for Bo Yan to stay away from the Bo Family’s business, tussle in the entertainment industry, and preferably ruin his own reputation. Moreover, at that time, the Xia Family and the Bo Family were preparing for an arranged marriage, with Bo Yi actively pursuing Xia Sicai. Naturally, he hoped Bo Yan would quickly become an artist and stay away from Xia Sicai.
With Bo Yi’s instigation, the Bo Family finally agreed to let Bo Yan enter the circle. However, the Bo Family had their demands. Ultimately, Bo Yan set up his own studio where he was the boss, and the agent was only there to assist on the side, unable to control him through the company.
Fortunately, Bo Yan proved his worth. He won Best Newcomer with his first film and became Best Actor just a year later, firmly establishing his footing in the entertainment industry. His agent also had an easier time and even had the opportunity to manage other artists, like the recreational entertainer Wu Di.
But now there was trouble, and the agent had to be present at the scene.
On Xia Siyu’s side, aside from Qin Baizhou, Wei Jingjing and Little Tang had also come. As soon as Xia Siyu entered, she did not consider herself an outsider, or rather, she did not take the people from Bo Yan’s side seriously. She went right ahead and said to Wei Jingjing and Little Tang, “I brought gifts for you two on my trip abroad. Where’s my suitcase? Open it up and I’ll give them to you right now.”
She didn’t care about the people with Bo Yan at all, called for her assistant to bring over the suitcase, and opened her luggage on the spot. In the small conference room, her large suitcase immediately blocked the aisle, and she handed over two sets of cosmetics and a Longines watch from inside, “The makeup artist isn’t here; you help me give these to them. It’s not much money, just a thought. I hope you won’t disdain them. Next time I’ll bring better ones for you.”
Wei Jingjing and Little Tang hurriedly accepted them: “We won’t disdain, won’t disdain.”
They were seven thousand yuan gifts, given for free—who wouldn’t want them?
Xia Siyu also said to Qin Baizhou, “Brother Qin, I’ll give you your gift later.” After all, Qin Baizhou’s gift was more valuable, and it was quite different from the ones given to the others. Moreover, being right in front of Bo Yan’s side, it really wasn’t convenient.
When Qin Baizhou heard he had a gift, a smile immediately bloomed on his face, “You went to work; you shouldn’t have bothered with gifts. You being well is the greatest gift to me.”
No sooner had he finished speaking than Bo Yan over there coughed twice. Xia Siyu looked up and saw Bo Yan looking at her expressionlessly, seemingly somewhat dissatisfied with the way she had spread out her luggage. It wasn’t just him; his agent and Song Fengzhi also seemed speechless.
Xia Siyu didn’t care. Qin Baizhou instructed Wei Jingjing, “Close the suitcase.”
Wei Jingjing nodded and went down with Little Tang to tidy up. Xia Siyu stepped over with her shoes, walked to the sofa, and comfortably sat down like a boss, leaning on the couch with a lift of her chin, “Isn’t there something to discuss? What is it? Wrap it up quickly; my time is very precious.”
