The entire conversation went smoothly. Xia Qingtian learned that Mobius was Mr. Gu’s chief secretary and special assistant.
It was evident that Mr. Gu valued Mobius greatly; almost every suggestion Mobius made was immediately approved by Mr. Gu.
Within a few sentences, the matter of signing the contract was put on the agenda.
Unfortunately, Mr. Gu seemed to be very busy, and Mobius had to accompany him back to Gu Entertainment. This prevented Xia Qingtian from having a chance to thank him properly.
As soon as Xia Qingtian left, the Mr. Gu who had been sitting there immediately got up, took a step back, and respectfully said to Mobius, "Mr. Gu, the entertainment company you asked us to keep an eye on has indeed made a move. They are recently acquiring scripts similar to our main theme for the next quarter, and we are in the process of connecting with them. The artists they want to sign have all received invitations from them as well."
"I understand," Mobius replied. "Continue to have people watch them."
"Yes."
"Assistant Lin, proceed with Xia Qingtian's contract in the direction of a virtual diva. The contract positioning should be A-level," Mobius arranged methodically. "Have Wen Ning handle the对接."
"Wen, Wen Ning?" Assistant Lin was a little surprised. Wen Ning was a top agent at Gu Entertainment. Would it be an over-qualification to have her manage a pilot project like a virtual diva?
However, remembering that the person before him was the prescient Mr. Gu, whose decisions would never be wrong, he immediately agreed.
Then, as if recalling something, he asked, "Su Xin is already in contact with Miss Mo. This matter..."
"Let her continue to contact her," Mobius said, narrowing his eyes slightly. "You just hold back on the contract."
"Yes," Assistant Lin replied.
"Let's head back to the company." Mobius's phone buzzed. He took out his phone and glanced at it. It was a message from Xia Qingtian.
[Thanks for what happened today~ We didn't get to chat properly. I'll treat you to a meal next time~ Cute.jpg]
A slight curve formed on Mobius's lips, and then he suppressed the smile, replying only with "Okay."
"What a reliable person!" Xia Qingtian said, holding her phone and smiling as she got into the car heading home.
Recently, the atmosphere at the Xia residence had been exceptionally good.
Xia Qingtian no longer sought trouble with passive-aggressive remarks. Although Xia Qingyu was still wary of Xia Qingtian, her smiles had clearly increased. Aunt Liu was as gentle and cheerful as ever and seemed to have recently become fond of baking pastries. Sweet fruit aromas and rich cream scents could always be detected in the house. As long as the refrigerator was opened, freshly made desserts would be found inside, ready to be eaten at any time.
Father Xia observed this with joy in his heart, especially since Xia’s company had secured the collaboration with Gu Corporation, seeing their year-end profits doubling.
Father Xia felt he was a winner in life. The only thing that puzzled him was Mr. Gu’s words that day and Xia Qingtian’s subtle attitude.
What was the relationship between those two?
Father Xia couldn't get any information from Xia Qingtian, and he couldn't possibly go up to Mr. Gu and ask, "What is your relationship with my daughter?" This was truly giving him a headache.
However, Xia Qingtian came home honestly every day and helped out at the company when she had time. Her life was very straightforward; it didn't seem like she would get involved with Mr. Gu.
That’s right, his daughter, Xia Honglang’s daughter, wouldn't be so frivolous.
Thinking of this, Father Xia felt slightly relieved.
On the other side, Song Junhan at Xia’s company was not as reassured.
In his plan, Xia Qingtian was absolutely not allowed to get involved with any other man.
Even though Xia Qingtian was brainless, ignorant, and always had an air of looking down on others, she was still the young lady of the Xia family!
Song Junhan could not let this prize be snatched away by someone else.
Mr. Gu…
Thinking of the Mr. Gu he saw that day, Song Junhan felt a burning discomfort in his heart.
Why were some people born to be high and mighty while others were not?
Mr. Gu could have any woman he wanted; why should he compete with him for this sole opportunity to change his life?
Thinking of this, Song Junhan’s heart sank further.
A man must be ruthless to succeed.
It seemed he had to arrange another accident. He didn’t mind having a disabled person by his side, as long as she could breathe.
Mr. Gu was different; he would certainly not tolerate any flaws in his wife.
With this thought, Song Junhan’s gaze became even more determined.
It must be said that in this regard, Song Junhan's execution was always excellent.
In less than a week, Song Junhan had arranged everything, from the vehicle to the driver.
To prevent Xia Qingtian from turning back halfway, Song Junhan also carefully arranged another catalyst – Xia Qingyu.
Song Junhan had long heard that Xia Qingtian disliked her sister Xia Qingyu.
So he specifically hired someone to take some photos of Xia Qingyu.
The photographer was a seasoned paparazzo in the industry, very good at finding angles and with strong post-processing skills.
Every photo was extremely ambiguous. Xia Qingyu's face was clearly captured, while the male interacting with her was only shown from the back, with even the edges blurred.
Photos like these were very disadvantageous.
After sending a few of them, he indeed received a quick reply from Xia Qingtian: What is your purpose?
[I have more explosive photos here,] Song Junhan didn't want Xia Qingtian to guess who he was, so he directly registered a new account. [Next Tuesday, at 4:30 AM, under the bus stop sign opposite the East Gate of Xinying Park.]
After sending this reply, Song Junhan directly removed the SIM card and threw it into a nearby trash can, then strode away.
Unable to contact the number, Xia Qingtian frowned.
After much thought, she walked directly to Xia Qingyu's room and knocked on the door.
When Xia Qingyu opened the door, she looked somewhat surprised to see Xia Qingtian: "You? What's up?"
"Are you... dating early?" Xia Qingtian asked Xia Qingyu.
"What?" Xia Qingyu was stunned: "What trick are you up to now!"
She knew that Xia Qingtian wouldn't be quiet for more than a few days.
"Who is this person?" Xia Qingtian directly showed Xia Qingyu the photos on her phone: "They were sent to my phone."
"!" Xia Qingyu was dumbfounded when she saw the photos, her mind buzzing: "This, this isn't! We're just ordinary classmates, I..."
Xia Qingyu didn't know how the photos managed to produce such strange effects, making it seem as if she were really dating early.
"In short, you're not dating early, right?" Xia Qingtian cared most about this point.
"I am not dating early!" Xia Qingyu said immediately.
"That's good," Xia Qingtian said, turning to leave after hearing Xia Qingyu's answer.
"Wait a moment." Xia Qingyu stopped Xia Qingtian.
She originally wanted to question Xia Qingtian about where she got the photos, but upon meeting Xia Qingtian's gaze, her words turned into a mix of grievance and stubbornness: "I really haven't."
"Mhm, I believe you." Xia Qingtian smiled at Xia Qingyu before turning back to her own room.
Xia Qingyu, standing in her spot, blushed and bit her lower lip, seemingly awkward about something.
