Chapter 440: Chapter 440

Qiao Xi smiled faintly with her lips pressed together, "Because I knew you would come to find me once you were free."

Shen Dang didn’t seem the least bit displeased, "You just said you’d message me after you were done."

The three words carried a full flavor of indulgence.

Qiao Xi let out a little "huh," and looked at him with a half-smile, "You’re quite petty, huh?"

Shen Dang’s eyes fell on the teacup in her hand, "Is the tea good?"

Qiao Xi found his question odd, "...is there good or bad about it, it’s all the same."

"I’ll pour you a cup."

As Qiao Xi was about to get up, Shen Dang said leisurely, "No need, I’ll just drink from the cup you’re holding."

Qiao Xi glanced towards the photographer, saw Shen Dang leisurely gazing at her, then handed the teacup to him, "Drink it."

Look at what he can do.

The photographer was trying hard not to laugh.

Boss Shen really knew how to do it.

Guys, come and learn.

But if you’re not good-looking, better not learn it. After all, you can’t get the essence of Boss Shen and there will be risks.

Shen Dang drank a sip from the teacup Qiao Xi had used, then put it back.

He gently pinched Qiao Xi’s hand, "Are you hungry, let’s go have lunch."

The elevator stopped on the first floor, and as Qiao Xi and Shen Dang stepped out, they were suddenly stopped by a voice, "Teacher Qiao."

Qiao Xi paused and looked towards the source of the sound.

Zhong Xinran was waiting for another elevator, but upon seeing Qiao Xi, she didn’t wait for it anymore and quickly walked over to Qiao Xi, "Teacher Qiao, it really is you, I thought I saw the wrong person."

She looked somewhat surprised.

The crew members who were waiting for the elevator she had been using came out one by one, and seeing Qiao Xi and Shen Dang standing there, they aimed the camera at them.

"Stop recording for a moment," Qiao Xi said softly.

Sun Ping didn’t want to stop filming, "There shouldn’t be anything that viewers can’t see, right?"

He knew Zhong Xinran, a supporting actress frequently appearing in major TV series and movies.

Her fame was there, just not very high.

Her last movie, she was supporting Qiao Xi.

There weren’t any rumors that they had conflicts.

Qiao Xi’s gaze turned somewhat cold, "Director Sun wouldn’t want to film irrelevant people, right?"

Filming Zhong Xinran was fine, but seeing Shen Dang’s solemn gaze, Sun Ping didn’t dare to speak out.

Director Sun could only instruct the cameraman to turn off the equipment.

The crew members didn’t wait around either, they left the GK building and got on the car.

Zhong Xinran looked somewhat disappointed.

She knew Qiao Xi was filming a show, she just wanted a chance to appear on camera, but Qiao Xi wouldn’t even allow that.

Qiao Xi nodded slightly at Zhong Xinran, "Do you need something?"

Zhong Xinran glanced at Shen Dang. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on N(o)vᴇl(F)ire.nᴇt

She had thought Qiao Xi was Shen Dang’s kept mistress, not expecting that not only had they been divorced, but were now also dating.

No wonder Qiao Xi was a shareholder of GK Entertainment.

With this connection, she could even aim for the position of boss, what’s a shareholder?

How could Qiao Xi make people so envious?

"It’s just rare to see Teacher Qiao here, so I came over to say hello. Are you recording a show, Teacher Qiao?"

"Obviously," replied Qiao Xi, not wanting to engage in much conversation.

"I came to GK today for work too. Since that’s the case, I won’t disturb Teacher Qiao any longer."

Qiao Xi was about to leave with Shen Dang.

Zhong Xinran suddenly called out.

Shen Dang lowered his eyes, looking at her indolently.

Even without much emotion, his peach-blossom eyes seemed deep with affection. Under such a gaze, Zhong Xinran’s heart almost started to race.

She put on a charming smile, "Your company is hosting ’Dream Chasing Camp 2,’ and I will be a contestant this season. I’m very grateful to Boss Shen for creating such an excellent talent show, giving many people opportunities."

Her gaze at Shen Dang was overt, the admiration almost spilling out of her eyes.

"GK Entertainment is thriving under Boss Shen’s management. You’re my idol, Boss Shen, and I would love to sign with GK if possible."

Actually, she didn’t need to participate in any talent show, having been in the industry for over a year, she was hardly a newcomer.

But her career had not taken off, so she hoped this talent show could help.

With Nie Anfong as a benchmark before, many had set eyes on this program, hoping to become the next Nie Anfong.

Zhong Xinran had always aimed high.

Plus, she also desired Shen Dang.

If such a man could belong to her, snatching him from Qiao Xi, she could proudly boast about it.

"GK doesn’t just take anyone, and I only serve as an idol for Xixi," said Shen Dang, his expression cold.

His gaze grew colder.

His words were already signaling that Zhong Xinran didn’t qualify, and the latter part of his speech was to flaunt their affection even more.

Zhong Xinran’s face changed color.

Hearing Shen Dang’s words, Qiao Xi wanted to laugh, showing only a faint smile, "My idol isn’t you."

Shen Dang held her hand firmly, his gaze deep, "Hmm, your boyfriend, fiancé, husband will do."

Shen Dang said smoothly.

Zhong Xinran couldn’t bear to listen any longer.

Shen Dang, such a man, was so devoted to Qiao Xi?

Could it be a pretense?

Shen Dang scratched the palm of Qiao Xi’s hand, "Let’s go, no point wasting time on irrelevant people."

With that, Shen Dang pulled Qiao Xi away.

Zhong Xinran watched their backs, feeling extremely reluctant.

What could she possibly do to get close to Shen Dang?

She wouldn’t give up so easily!

Shen Dang took Qiao Xi to a Western restaurant, where the crew members also went to have lunch, with only one photographer filming them.

However, he didn’t disturb them, just shooting their figures through the glass from outside the shop.

Shen Dang, while cutting his steak, mentioned, "Xu Anfeng officially joined GK today."

Qiao Xi raised an eyebrow, "Congratulations, Boss Shen."

Shen Dang lifted his chin slightly, "Congratulations to you too, Boss Qiao."

Qiao Xi scoffed, "How many newcomers will GK allow onto ’Dream Chasing Camp 2’?"

Shen Dang mentioned the names of two groups.

Every company had newcomers they wanted to promote, but only their own talents could prove their worth in forming a group, there was no competition among capitalists.

That was also the initial intention of Shen Dang and Sheng Chao when creating this talent show.

Shen Dang’s thin lips curved into a smile, "Does Xi Bao have any ideas for the special guests of the second season?"

"Sister Li asked me the same, I don’t have any ideas; I’ll be filming a movie. But I’m curious about who the judges will be this time."

Shen Dang listed several names.

Indeed, more influential than the judges from the first season.

If Qiao Xi had time, she would still follow ’Dream Chasing Camp 2.’

Shen Dang said nonchalantly, "The production team plans to invite Nie Anfong back to act as an older sister to the trainees, guiding their training."

"Is Shengshi promoting Nie Anfong?"

"It’s uncertain whether she can become the second Nie Qing."

"Isn’t Nie Anfong filming a movie?"

"Not sure, I don’t pay attention to irrelevant people, I only focus on my Xi Xi."

Qiao Xi tilted her head, "Boss Shen, what do you think about my studio signing a new artist?"
