Chapter 8, not a tool, but poison
This incident is a matter of life and death, and her pressure is greater than ever before
She spoke of Zhao Yihong's debut history. Zhao Yihong is currently thirty-five years old. Fifteen years ago, he debuted as a singer and quickly became a favored rising star in the music industry by QTV. After three years of hard work, he did not achieve significant fame. By chance, he played the second male lead in a costume drama, and his elegant appearance and romantic, infatuated character won the hearts of the audience. In the following two to three years, he starred as the male lead in several dramas. Unfortunately, his success and failure were both tied to this role, as none of his later characters could surpass the one he created in his first drama.
Dennis hurriedly walked over and said, "I have completed the bail procedures, we can leave now"
The Poison Gate has finally come to an end
Ye Xiao was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, incredulously asking: "Is it true or false? Who is supporting you?"
Ye Xiao playfully blinked her eyes and said, "Just follow the arrangements; whatever the station assigns me, I will perform."
He comforted, "In two days, the paparazzi will stop following you, but I suggest you take a few days to rest"
However, what? In fact, Ye Xiao is not very interested in Zhao Yihong
It is highly likely that the brown sugar water was poisoned from the very beginning. The police asked, "What is your relationship with Fan Weiwei like?"
Dennis rarely appears in Zhuhai, and he has not heard of any local connections. The only person he has a slight acquaintance with is Ye Xiao, and he can only ask her for help regarding his sister's removal from the list
"These three Qiaos are undoubtedly the four great flower girls, how could it possibly be my turn?" She raised her eyes and smiled
Li Tianjie happily shook hands with her, "Wishing us a pleasant cooperation in advance"
It is very difficult
"Why? Is he a venomous snake or a ferocious beast?" Ye Xiao joked
She glanced back and said, "Being chased by paparazzi every day is driving me crazy, it's so terrifying"
Under the pressure of the police's interrogation, Xiao Yin revealed the person who instructed him: Tong Yao
Ye Xiao suddenly recalled something, "Wasn't there a rumor last year about Zhao Yihong and Chen something?"
A taxi came to a stop just in time, and they hurriedly got in, leaving the paparazzi to watch the car with disappointment
With a shortage of monks and an abundance of porridge, how much sensational news will emerge from the competition among the three female protagonists this time?
Undoubtedly, the four major actresses will participate in the competition, and second-tier artists will also be eager to make their move
This time, the choice to contact by phone is certainly to avoid being tracked and reported by paparazzi
Watching a beautiful woman enjoy her food, he also has a hearty appetite and begins to eat with great focus
Lin Zixin said softly: "Isn't this easy to guess? Holding the power of life and death over artists and production, isn't it simple to promote a male artist?"
In the past decade, such an incident has not occurred in the station, leading to a flurry of discussions and a state of anxiety among the staff. Both male and female colleagues treated Ye Xiao with a wary distance, refraining from approaching her, let alone speaking a word to her, as if coming within three meters of her would result in an electric shock or poisoning. Only Zhao Yihong frequently accompanied her, offering comfort and assuring her that when the truth is revealed, the whispers would naturally fade away.
This is a Chinese restaurant designed with the cultural backdrop of the Tang and Song dynasties, featuring teak flooring, peach wood tables and chairs, intricately carved windows, apricot yellow satin curtains, and walls adorned with calligraphy depicting dragons and phoenixes. The private rooms are further embellished with exquisite paintings of beautiful women and ancient costume singers playing the guqin and pipa. The names of the dishes are classic lines from Tang poetry and Song lyrics, accompanied by photographs of the dishes, creating a poetic and picturesque ambiance that is simply breathtaking
Lin Zixin leaned forward, close to Ye Xiao's ear, "The entertainment industry is rife with gossip, where truth and falsehood intertwine. Those who do not understand merely watch the spectacle, while those who do discern the subtleties. Rumors and scandals often contain a kernel of truth, as they are likely based on facts. Just think about it, there are many male actors in the industry with better acting skills than him, yet he returns as a leading actor. For over two years, he has maintained his status as a popular young star, not due to his acting, but because of his handsome face"
This is how Dennis avenged Ye Xiao
Seeing her eat like this, Zhao Yihong was momentarily taken aback before regaining his composure, "Eat slowly, no one is competing with you."
The waiter, dressed in a blue and white outfit, arranged the dishes neatly and then politely withdrew
The two exchanged a smile and lowered their heads to eat.
She had completely forgotten about this matter, but upon seeing the peculiar and anxious demeanor of the young Yingu yesterday, she suddenly recalled the events of that day. She believed that the young Yingu might be the key clue to solving the case, and thus she reported this matter to the police
The situation is serious, and the staff of QTV reported to the police, who have intervened in the investigation. The investigation has focused on the bowl of medicinal soup consumed during the filming. As a result, the staff and relevant artists have provided their testimonies, and Ye Xiao has been summoned to the police station as a suspect.
A week later, there was a breakthrough in the case of Fan Weiwei's poisoning, as Lin Zixin provided the police with a statement that was very favorable to Ye Xiao
Xiao Yin was instructed by someone to poison the bowl of brown sugar water, and after the deed was done, he would receive 200,000 yuan to support his younger siblings' education. He thought that no one would notice, but unexpectedly, Lin Zixin saw him.
He swore solemnly, "It's fine, I will tell the police that I was with you, I can be your alibi."
If I had remembered Xiao Yin earlier, you could have cleared your name sooner Lin Zixin sighed, I am getting older and my memory is not as good as it used to be
On that day, Li Tianjie called her to arrange a meal and discuss the film "Dragon and Phoenix"
After releasing his grip, Ye Xiao raised his wine glass, clinked it with his, and drank it down with pleasure
Why was the nursery rhyme able to enter "Apollo"
"Not exactly a venomous snake or a ferocious beast, but it's close enough," Lin Zixin glanced around and mysteriously lowered her voice, "It is rumored that he is being kept by the higher-ups."
Under the police's questioning, she calmly recounted the filming process of that day, particularly detailing the final scene
I am colleagues with her, but we are not very familiar with each other; we hardly spoke before filming this movie
She was taken aback, then stunned, her eyes slightly moving, "Of course there are, sometimes when I see reports about you and the celebrity stars in gossip magazines, I think of you."
The nursery rhyme was summoned to the police station for questioning, yet it refused to confess even in death, shouting its innocence.
Ye Xiao was thinking, wondering if there were any individuals in the upper echelons who were aware of her unusual relationship with Chairman Liu
She smiled shyly
Those rumors gradually faded away, and everyone continued to treat Ye Xiao as usual, neither cold nor warm, neither salty nor bland, at least on the surface it appeared that way
He timely shifted the topic, "Your acting has improved significantly, and your brilliance in 'Palace Scheme' surpasses that of Li Siman. I believe the station will support you."
"Do you have insider information? Which role are you playing?" Ye Xiao asked with apparent interest
The camera flashes wildly, reporters crowd around, shouting frantically. Dennis roughly pushes through the crowd, protecting her as she gets into the car, which then speeds away.
Ye Xiao was taken aback and hesitated for a moment before saying: "No problem, let's go to 'Athena', shall we?"
Miss Ye, you may return for now, but you cannot leave Zhuwan temporarily. If necessary, we will ask for your assistance in the investigation again
The staff present immediately called for a car to take her to the hospital. After two hours of emergency treatment, Fan Weiwei finally regained her life. The doctor stated that Fan Weiwei had been poisoned, but fortunately, the amount of poison was only minimal; otherwise, she would have succumbed to the poisoning long ago
Li Tianjie arrived early at "Tang and Song Legends"
"This scene was filmed many times. Did you poison him during the earlier takes?" the police officer asked
She devised a plan and decided to take him down. "Mr. Li, to speak frankly, I met Dennis by chance in Europe. We don't have much of a relationship, and I doubt we could hold a conversation."
"It is no trouble at all; waiting for a beautiful lady is the honor of every gentleman." Li Tianjie instructed the waiter to serve the dishes and straightened his posture, "I have ordered a few dishes already; I am not sure if you will like them, so please feel free to order a few more yourself."
After a while, he asked: "Xiaoxiao, you have lost weight and your complexion doesn't look very good. Is it very hard filming?"
The culinary culture of China is vast and profound. If you are interested, I will take you to experience all the Chinese restaurants in the city.
"You look only ten years older than me." This was not meant as a compliment, Ye Xiao said with distress, "At my age, my skin is not as good as yours. By the way, Sister Xin, could you share some skincare tips with me?"
There is one more matter I would like to ask for your assistance with
Everyone in the television city tacitly isolated Ye Xiao
Zhao Yihong smiled shyly and said, "If you really want to thank me, then please treat me to a meal."
At the end of last year, there was a lot of gossip about you, and the paparazzi back then were not as formidable as this time, were they? he teased with a smile
"Of course, your beauty is indeed among the most notable in the industry," Lin Zixin said this seemingly non-complimentary compliment with great ease.
I can handle it, thank you," she said calmly
Zhao Yihong's handsome face revealed his signature charming smile, "I just finished work as well, it's just a small effort."
"No, because before administering the poison, we need to say some lines. I am not feeling well, and I always get called for a retake before I even get to the part of administering the poison, so there was only one take for that scene." Ye Xiao calmly recounted what had happened in the afternoon
Ye Xiao sincerely said: "I still want to thank you, you have always been helping me during this time"
It is like this, my sister, whom you should know, is Xiao Yin from your station. Recently, she was expelled by 'Apollo'. It is a bit difficult for me to bring it up, as you know, being expelled by 'Apollo' is no small matter. All the high-end clubs in Zhu Wan do not accept my sister... After all, the Li family has a prominent reputation in Zhu Wan, and this is quite embarrassing... Could you help me speak to Dennis and ask him to revoke the expulsion
With her index finger moving eagerly, Ye Xiao quickly began to eat, disregarding the fact that the man in front of her was still somewhat unfamiliar, yet she still maintained good manners
Zhao Yihong greatly enjoys the artistic atmosphere of "Athena" and remarked, "I have been here once and really liked the ambiance. I never expected to have dinner with you on my second visit"
She nodded with a smile, "I need to inform the station first that Director Fang has agreed before we can discuss the specifics with you"
I have two matters to discuss with you today. Seeing her attentive expression, Li Tianjie suppressed his usual flamboyance and said, "The filming of 'Dragon Plays Phoenix' will begin in July. I sincerely invite you to play the leading female role. Please consider it carefully."
He quietly watched her eat, unable to help but exclaim: how is it that this woman, having been in the entertainment industry for over a year, lacks the pretentiousness and insincerity often found in other artists and celebrities? She is neither hypocritical nor affected; even when speaking in a charming manner, it feels completely natural. One could say she is a woman of genuine disposition
Unexpectedly, she received a call from Liu Jianze, asking her what role she would like to play in "The Shining Pearl"
Li Tianjie forced a smile, "It is certainly better than my situation."
Ye Xiao understood their subtle psychology, but did not pay much attention to it. However, the colleagues' defensive emotions severely affected the state and performance of the filming, causing significant delays. It was only after Luo Xiaoyan lost her temper once that all the actors focused their attention on the shoot
Li Tianjie suddenly looked at her with deep affection, "Xiaoxiao, it has been so long since we last met, have you thought of me?"
The next day, the "Poison Gate" made headlines on major Chinese websites and gossip publications, with fierce language targeting the scandalous diva Ye Xiao. It was said that she had a poor relationship with her colleagues, engaging in conflicts both on and off the stage, and that she attempted to poison her colleagues to gain a higher position. It was claimed that she originally intended to poison Li Siman, but unexpectedly, Fan Weiwei became the scapegoat.
Dennis took her away, but they encountered the paparazzi at the back door of the police station
"Success depends on human effort; let me help you with this." He volunteered to take on this task.
Ye Xiao is worried that Tong Yao might cause some terrifying incident again, being on guard day and night, feeling anxious all the time, and her performance during filming is not very good, often requiring many takes before succeeding
The notice states the reason for the expulsion: Miss Li disregarded the rights of other VIP clients, treating the club as a noisy marketplace, bringing in friends who do not belong to this tier at will, and defaming others, thereby affecting the valuable leisure time of other guests
The tool of brown sugar water has transformed into a deadly poison, becoming a household name in Zhu Bay and spreading throughout the nation
Director Fang? Apart from Fang Ying, who else among the female executives holds the power of life and death?
Ye Xiao nodded, walked out of the interrogation room, and coincidentally, Zhao Yihong came out of another interrogation room
Luo Xiaoyan was very satisfied with the performance of the three individuals, and they passed smoothly
On the day of the "Poison Gate" incident, after finishing her shoot, she planned to go home after removing her makeup in the dressing room. She inadvertently saw a staff member, Xiao Yin, sneaking away from the bowl of "poison." Although she found Xiao Yin's strange behavior a bit odd, she did not take it to heart
In fact, the rumors are true. Zhao Yihong and Chen Xuan collaborated as co-stars in a series, which sparked chemistry and developed into a clandestine relationship. But how long can such matters be kept secret? Three months later, Fang Ying discovered that Zhao Yihong had fallen for someone else, leading to Chen Xuan being put on ice.
What is the matter
Ye Xiao nodded and candidly said, "I feel like he is intentionally getting close to me"
Zhao Yihong's future is in Fang Ying's hands, what else can be done? He will certainly sacrifice Chen Xuan. Lin Zixin sighed and said, "Zhao Yihong has fallen in love with someone else, and Fang Ying will definitely be furious. Therefore, in order to secure his career in the entertainment industry, Zhao Yihong obediently returns to appease Fang Ying, which is why he remains unscathed and continues to be his popular young star."
Alright, I like the antagonistic characters. Thank you, Chairman Liu
The three female protagonists have a lot of room to showcase their talents, but they are all over thirty years old, which may not be suitable for you. Chairman Liu's tone remained consistently firm, "There is a character who is a wealthy heiress, willful and headstrong, and has romantic scenes with three men, with quite a substantial role."
The production "The Shimmering Pearl," which began filming in September, is indeed a major undertaking. It is jointly created by the renowned producer Tian Kaiyue and the esteemed screenwriter Gao Zhongyi, involving nearly all the elite talents from the industry. The project boasts sponsorship of 50 million for jewelry and luxurious costumes, and there is even a possibility of filming in various cities both domestically and abroad. The total investment is expected to reach 100 million.
Thus, she instructed Hannah to investigate the backgrounds and "private lives" of the four leading actresses, preparing for any eventualities
Try to avoid excessive contact with him. Lin Zixin's advice is very sincere
Dennis does not need any benefits from Li at all, but the world may become quite small to some extent, and perhaps at some moment, the power of Li may be needed
In fact, being expelled by "Apollo" is not a big deal, but what is frightening is "Apollo"'s global influence. My sister, being a playful young lady, cannot even enter the doors of high-end clubs; it would be better to kill her. He furrowed his brows tightly and said, "I really need to ask you for this favor. How about this: you help me convey a message, just say that as long as the expulsion can be revoked, he can propose any conditions he wants."
Mr. Li is so sincere, of course I will consider it seriously. In fact, I am also interested, but the work arranged by the station is quite tight, and I am worried that I won't have the schedule to take on the film.
Of course, no problem. Lin Zixin readily agreed
Fang Ying, in charge of the Resource Department, wishes to promote a male artist; is this not a trivial matter? As long as she acts within her authority, even if the directors, the chairman, and all the executives are aware of her affair with Zhao Yihong, they will turn a blind eye.
Among the high-ranking individuals with power or wealth, Chairman Liu is the major shareholder, along with two other shareholders. Following them are the General Manager and the Director of the Production Resources Department. These individuals are the targets of flattery for artists seeking to advance their careers. Additionally, some artists curry favor with producers and directors in order to secure more roles, employing various tactics.
He could not hide his joyful feelings, "As long as you like it."
Due to numerous NGs, I adjusted my state in another room, and at that time, I was the only one there, so there was no one to witness the timing for me, and I did not know if anyone saw me... I recited my lines while contemplating the character's psychology. After about an hour and a half, Zhao Yihong came over to guide me, teaching me how to perform this scene well. After half an hour, I told the director that I was ready... Then it was time to shoot. The props master brought that bowl of poison to Xiao Yin, and then I took that bowl of poison and poured it into Weiwei's mouth, but I really did not know that there was poison in that bowl of brown sugar water... I recited my lines while contemplating the character's psychology. After about an hour and a half, Zhao Yihong came over to guide me, teaching me how to perform this scene well. After half an hour, I told the director that I was ready... Then it was time to shoot. The props master brought that bowl of poison to Xiao Yin, and then I took that bowl of poison and poured it into Weiwei's mouth, but I really did not know that there was poison in that bowl of brown sugar water...
The three female protagonists of this drama are the Qiao sisters: the eldest sister Qiao Manshu, the second sister Qiao Manyao, and the youngest sister Qiao Manyou. The corresponding partners of the three sisters are Lin Bo, Yang Jianan, and Yang Baocheng, respectively. Ye Xiao plays the role of the wealthy young woman Tang Xin, whose grandfather Tang Yongyan is one of the top tycoons in the city, alongside Yang Baocheng. As for the other supporting characters, they are numerous.
After a few days of quiet, on this day, she was to shoot a scene in which a palace concubine is poisoned. Despite several takes, three or four times, her performance was still not satisfactory. Luo Xiaoyan suggested that she take a break to adjust her emotions before continuing, and they would first shoot Li Siman's scenes.
The three sisters are Da Qiao, Er Qiao, and Xiao Qiao, and I play the husband of Er Qiao
Lin Zixin stated that during the years Zhao Yihong was missing, he was actually devotedly serving Fang Ying. He dedicated his best years to Fang Ying, and it is estimated that Fang Ying felt a sense of guilt, which is why she worked hard to help him rise to prominence
Lin Zixin sneered, "Which man would willingly serve that old woman for a lifetime? However, Fang Ying holds his lifeline, and Zhao Yihong does not dare to act rashly"
As soon as he stepped out of the house, the paparazzi rushed in frantically; upon arriving at the television city, the reporters gathered at the entrance surged forward like a tide; after work, that group of reporters still waited steadfastly for Ye Xiao's appearance
Ye Xiao curiously asked: "Why does he no longer want to serve Fang Ying? As long as he behaves, his acting career will go smoothly."
He had long known that Ye Xiao would not like him because of his identity and status
I also noticed that Zhao Yihong has good acting skills, is handsome, and has a sweet tongue, making him quite popular in the studio. However..." Lin Zixin deliberately stopped, as generally speaking, what follows a turning point is certainly not a compliment
Previously, the remarkable video recorded on the mobile phone provided by Dennis to the police served as evidence. After extensive investigation, the police prosecuted Tong Yao, accusing her of premeditated murder and framing another person
With his eyebrows raised, he smiled. Although he felt somewhat disappointed at not receiving a satisfactory answer, this response had long been within his expectations
Lin Zixin advised her not to get too close to him, "Every move you make with Zhao Yihong will eventually reach Fang Ying's ears. You should be well aware of how Fang Ying will deal with you for the sake of a man."
One week later, due to a poor attitude towards the confession of the nursery rhyme, a sentence of four years in prison was imposed
"Speak a little quieter," Lin Zixin straightened her posture, "This is no longer a secret; many people know about it, and it is an unspoken understanding."
Ye Xiao believes that the three female leads have not yet been finalized. This enticing cream cake is sure to stir up a storm at Zhuwan Media and will undoubtedly ignite an invisible yet acrid battle for roles.
I do not believe those rumors; the journalists' keyboards are filled with an abundance of imagination. I only believe what my heart perceives. Zhao Yihong seemed to emphasize his belief in her innocence, stating, "People in the entertainment industry are the targets of paparazzi. If one day they stop chasing us, it means we have already fallen out of favor."
Ye Xiao felt quite uncomfortable; Zhao Yihong turned out to be such a person. However, he is also a person in the world, unable to act freely.
Perhaps, his relationship with her is not merely that of colleagues
After this scene, work ended. While removing her makeup, Fan Weiwei suddenly experienced abdominal pain, writhing on the ground in agony, her face covered in sweat
I apologize for the delay; I finished work later than expected today and made you wait. She sat down apologetically
After Li Tianyin applied for the VIP card and three months later was expelled, a notice was published in the World Celebrity Magazine. It is foreseeable that all high-end clubs worldwide will simultaneously blacklist Li Tianyin
After adjusting for two hours, Ye Xiao felt much better and requested to start filming
At present, Zhao Yihong has not shown any particular interest in her, but once a woman becomes jealous, she can be utterly unreasonable. It is not unlikely that she might resort to underhanded tactics against her. If Fang Ying is convinced that she is the third party undermining their relationship, a mere word from Fang Ying could render her unable to move an inch within the organization, potentially leading to a fate of being sidelined. At that point, if it were to attract the attention of Chairman Liu, it would become troublesome
Thank you then, but I am afraid I do not have that much time to eat. She subtly declined his kindness.
"No need, I can order more if I'm still hungry." Ye Xiao smiled slightly, finding his gentle politeness rather strange; it seemed that this meal was rather unusual
On that day, Ye Xiao invited Lin Zixin to dinner after work to express her gratitude
"Athena" is a well-reputed Mediterranean restaurant in Zhuhai, specializing in Italian and Greek cuisine. The decor is infused with a strong Mediterranean ambiance, featuring the refreshing lightness of blue skies and white clouds, as well as the deep romance of waves and beaches. The deep blue tablecloths, pure white chairs, and Renaissance oil paintings are particularly suited to the tastes of the younger generation
Indeed, artists with clever and intricate thoughts can be quite annoying, while those who adhere to their roles are more likely to receive strong support. Zhao Yihong stated with conviction, "My next play is 'The Pearl Shines', and the three female leads have not yet been decided. However, I believe you should be able to play one of the three sisters. If I were to act as your romantic partner, that would be even better"
In the elegantly antiquated private room, he awaited the tardy Ye Xiao.
Hannah earnestly advised many times, but she usually let it go in one ear and out the other. However, she also seriously considered that perhaps she could try making a film
Under police interrogation, Xiao Yin confessed everything.
Indeed, after finishing work, she hurriedly left, having little interaction with her female colleagues, let alone her male colleagues. Therefore, there are certainly many who share Zhao Yihong's feelings. But so what? She has never paid much attention to how others perceive her
Lin Zixin remarked in a gossipy tone: "Anyone with discernment can see that Zhao Yihong wants to break free from Fang Ying's clutches, but how could Fang Ying easily let him go?"
I have greeted Chairman Liu, and he said to make arrangements as much as possible, and there should be no problem, so you need not worry about the schedule. If the schedule really cannot be arranged, we can coordinate it later.
A cake must certainly be divided, and the size of each share will depend on the respective strengths and powers of the parties involved
Ye Xiao plays Luo Yongfang, who administers poison to another palace concubine portrayed by Fan Weiwei, as this concubine had previously harmed other concubines. Xiao Yin, played by Xiao Yin, assists from the side. After delivering a lengthy, emotionally charged dialogue with great intensity, Xiao Yin restrains Fan Weiwei, while Luo Yongfang pinches the concubine's chin to force her mouth open, raises the poison (prop), and pours it in
I also want to help your sister, but my relationship with Dennis is not what you think it is. Ye Xiao had already guessed that the main point of his invitation to dinner was this matter. From the moment she entered the room, she felt that he was strange and awkward, quite different from the usual Li Tianjie. It turned out that he had a request of her, which was why he was deliberately suppressing his usual arrogance and pride.
"It's about the same." When the rumors from last year were brought up, Ye Xiao felt a bit awkward
Zhao Yihong gently patted her shoulder and comforted her, "It's alright, get some rest early. Tomorrow's performance is very important, and you need to be in the best possible condition to start work."
Ye Xiao lightly bit her teeth, seemingly lost in thought
No matter how busy one is with work, one must eat. In fact, life can be simply summarized in one word: 'eating.' As he spoke of profound truths, his demeanor was no longer arrogant, and his words were no longer self-important; the calm tone made one feel quite uncomfortable
He comforted, "Do not worry, I will do my utmost to help you"
Lin Zixin suddenly said: "Recently, you have been getting quite close to Zhao Yihong."
"What a coincidence," he said with a brighter smile. "I didn't have much interaction with you before. Sometimes I would see you from a distance, sitting alone or walking by yourself, and I thought you seemed rather aloof and hard to approach. I didn't expect you to be so easygoing and talkative."
It appears that he came prepared and is quite sincere in inviting her to perform—how many elites from Huanyu Entertainment are working for him, why would he, as the president, personally approach her for a discussion? ... Another matter is ...
After catching her breath, Ye Xiao said, "Thank you."
What strategies will Li Siman, Lin Jia'er, Li Yan, and He Shishi employ? Will they continue to attack each other through the media, or will they devise more sophisticated and clever schemes? Ye Xiao believes that these four will still regard her as a thorn in their side and will certainly take measures against her. She should be on guard and not allow herself to be at their mercy
"This is also my second time," Ye Xiaoru stated truthfully
Ye Xiao agreed to convey the message to Dennis, as for what requests Dennis might make, that would depend on her intentions
She smiled faintly and said, "Thank you, you and I have only half an hour together from now on. The previous one and a half hours still lack a time witness. If there are no other clues, I remain a suspect."
Perhaps he has an undisclosed relationship with a certain high-ranking official
I know that you and Dennis do not have that kind of relationship, but at least you have some friendship... you can talk to each other, can't you? He had never asked anyone for help, and now he was asking a woman, stumbling over a few simple words, feeling particularly uncomfortable inside
We are friends, so there is no need to be so formal
On the third day after the "Poison Gate" incident, there were still quite a few paparazzi. After work, Ye Xiao left through the side entrance of the television city, and reporters suddenly surged forward, surrounding her and incessantly asking questions. Eight bodyguards quickly approached from a distance. Suddenly, she felt her hand being grasped by a large hand, and then he pulled her out of the crowd and ran towards the taxi stand
Hannah believes that she should take on this film, as collaborating with Universal Entertainment is the best way to step onto the big screen and become a well-known movie star. She would regret missing this opportunity.
After six years in the industry, his entertainment career encountered a bottleneck, and he suddenly vanished from the Zhuwan entertainment scene. More than two years ago, Zhao Yihong suddenly reappeared in the Zhuwan entertainment circle, once again becoming a signed artist with QTV and taking on an important male role in a major drama. This comeback has been smooth, with the series he participated in being significant productions of high quality from the station
Tonight's Li Tianjie is very different from the past President Li. What has caused such a change
In fact, Ye Xiao knew that he was staring at her intently, which made her feel uncomfortable all over, so she could only pretend not to notice. Suddenly hearing his concerned words, she almost choked, and after a great effort to swallow the food in her mouth, she said with some difficulty: "It's fine, I won't make things too hard for myself. This dish tastes good; I didn't expect Chinese food here to be so delicious"
Several familiar faces flashed through Ye Xiao's mind, "Who is the female executive supporting him?"
It seems that I am the only one who is unaware. Ye Xiao also felt that her lack of concern for the "private lives" of her male and female colleagues was not a good thing, as being too isolated from information is not beneficial. "Why is he approaching me? Does he like me?"
Ye Xiao raised her eyebrows slightly and chuckled
Ye Xiao wondered whether his status as a popular young star could secure her the opportunity to play the leading role
It is uncertain how Fang Ying, the director of the production resources department, will arrange the cast for this series. On the other hand, Gao Xing, the general manager of another division, will certainly not allow Fang Ying to act arbitrarily. A cake must be shared, and the size of each share will depend on their respective strength and authority
After chatting for a few minutes, the dishes were served. She began to eat on her own without waiting for him to serve her, showing neither restraint nor a predatory eagerness.
"Let Chairman Liu arrange it, I will follow your lead," Ye Xiao said politely
Ye Xiao tilted her head in thought and smiled happily, "That is true, but one must also have some aspirations and ideals. Eating is merely 'surviving', while 'living' is not just about eating."
So this is how it is, Fang Ying is indeed quite ruthless, but hasn't Zhao Yihong ever made an effort
Before filming "Palace Intrigue," Ye Xiao and he were not very familiar with each other, having only a nodding acquaintance as colleagues with the most superficial relationship. After the New Year, when work resumed, he seemed to intentionally approach her, discussing the script and teaching her how to portray the psychological layers of the characters, and during her breaks, he would engage her in conversation. Initially, she did not notice anything amiss until he revealed a worried expression at the police station, at which point she began to understand.
Dennis said that Li Tianyin applied for a VIP card, and the store manager approved it without a strict review process according to his instructions. Therefore, Tong Yao was brought into "Apollo" by Li Tianyin
