Xia Wei Liang let out a couple of呵呵 laughs, clearly in a "I don't care" mood!
Maintaining her goddess-like elegance, she returned to her room, her expression instantly changing. She fumbled for her phone, her hands trembling as she dialed Xiao Yi.
The phone rang for a long time before someone picked up. A deep, mellow voice came through the receiver, "Hello, who is this?"
Who, who is this?
Heh heh...
He didn't save her number?
He was truly something!
Heh, heh heh... *sob*
*Sob*... The devil king was angry!
She cleared her throat, her voice barely a whisper, "Excuse me, is this Teacher Xiao?"
"It is, who is this?"
Hearing his distant and polite tone, Xia Wei Liang took a deep breath, telling herself to remain calm.
"Teacher Xiao, it's Xia Wei Liang~"
"Oh, it's you. Is there something you need?"
"..."
Xia Wei Liang clutched her phone, regulating her breathing, maintaining a smile. "I just wanted to ask if Teacher Xiao has seen the latest issue of 'Courage'?"
"No," he replied, his answer crisp and decisive.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Yan Zhi's voice could be heard from his end, "Yi Ge, are we rewatching it now? I've already finished editing the compilation of Niang Niang's cuts!"
Xiao Yi: "..."
Xia Wei Liang, listening clearly from her end, her lips curved slightly, her beautiful eyes narrowing. "Rewatching? My cuts?"
Xiao Yi remained silent, showing no signs of backing down even after being overheard.
"Since you've already watched it once, then... you must have also seen, um..."
"Heh heh, the intimate moments between you and Xi En on the show?"
"!"
Just as she suspected.
"Others might believe it's blind devotion, but how can you be like them? You know what kind of person I am, don't you?"
"Heh heh..."
That infuriating half-smile, half-scornful tone again!
"Xia Wei Liang, it's precisely because I know you too well!"
Her laughter abruptly stopped.
"Does he take care of others the way he takes care of you?"
"Uh..." Xia Wei Liang paused. "He didn't really take care of me much, did he?"
"Didn't he? He stayed by the riverbank at night, afraid something might happen to you when you were alone. Doesn't that count?"
Xia Wei Liang was stunned. She remembered this part wasn't broadcasted!
"How did you know?"
"I know everything that happened with you there, every single action you took," his voice was full of a coaxing amusement, but only Xia Wei Liang knew this was the prelude to settling accounts.
If that was the case, then there was nothing more to say.
She might as well just give up.
"Fine, fine, fine, you're the best, you know everything, you're invincible, alright? I'll send you a banner tomorrow, it'll say... 'Scrutinizing the Minute's Details'! If that's not good enough, I can add a commendation letter to the deluxe package!"
Her attitude was clearly one of resignation. Xiao Yi ground his molars. "Alright, then tell me about this Xin Hong."
"Xin Hong? He... he's good. A decent kid, has principles and a bottom line in his actions. I admire him."
"Admire? What kind of admiration? A woman's admiration for a man?"
"Human's admiration for human!"
Xia Wei Liang was utterly exasperated. "Xiao Yi, if you don't trust me, just say it!"
The man on the other end let out a cold laugh. "I don't trust them."
They were all men, and he could tell at a glance if the other party had any intentions towards Xia Wei Liang.
What's more, there were people in the production crew reporting any developments to him!
Xia Wei Liang vaguely sensed something and quickly said, "You're not going to make them not see tomorrow's sun, are you?"
Xiao Yi was slightly taken aback, then chuckled. "Why would you think that?"
"Isn't that how they portray it on TV? If someone messes with your woman, you'll make sure they don't see tomorrow's sun!"
Xiao Yi said playfully, "Whose woman did you say?"
"Uh..."
Was that the point of the question?
"Did I say that just now?"
"Yes, and I heard it very clearly."
She cleared her throat self-consciously. "Just... yours, I guess~"
The man on the other end chuckled. "Mm, I can hear that much more clearly now."
Xia Wei Liang felt a bit shy again. "Actually, I just wanted to tell you that my performance on the show is genuine, and I won't flirt with anyone. I don't care what others think, as long as you believe in me."
"So, you're saying you only care about my opinion?" Su Dan Novel Network
"Of course! They're not anyone to me! Besides, what kind of situations haven't I been through?"
The man's tone finally softened considerably. "I heard Xin Hong wants to invite you to be the spokesperson for Baqi Village."
"Yes, I told him to discuss it with the company. I personally have no problem with it." Realizing he might overthink it, she quickly explained, "It's purely because of the place, it has nothing to do with him!"
The man scoffed. "I know that, of course."
Otherwise, he would have nipped all possibilities in the bud long ago, without giving Xin Hong the chance to extend an invitation.
"I will have Lian Jun communicate with Ji Huan about this. Regional endorsements are different from brand endorsements; the responsibility is very heavy. The development of Baqi Village in the future will also be closely related to you. Similarly, your future reputation will also affect this village."
Hearing him say this, Xia Wei Liang realized the responsibility was quite significant.
"By what you're saying, Xin Hong took a certain risk by approaching me?"
"You could say that, but he's very smart. He knew to approach you."
Xia Wei Liang's eyes lit up. "Because I'm renowned?"
"Because you tend to act impulsively."
"...It's not that I'm saying this, Brother Yi, but if we chat like this, it's no fun. It'll lead to a dead end!"
"In any case, I'll have Lian Jun handle the endorsement matter from start to finish. There are too many details to investigate and research, and it can't be decided in a short time. So, if Mr. Xin contacts you alone in the future under this pretext, you can give him Lian Jun's phone number. Tell him, let professionals handle professional matters."
"...Okay, I understand."
The more she listened, the more she felt like this guy was still upset.
The phrase "Mr. Xin" created an immense distance.
"When is the next episode of 'Courage' being filmed?"
Compared to other variety shows, 'Courage' had a very short production cycle. Since Director Huang came from a documentary background, he disliked flashy things, and with Brother Qiao, a top VJ in the industry, on board, the speed was incomparable to others.
While one episode was airing, the next would be recorded immediately, resulting in a very short cycle.
"End of the month," she said. "The specific itinerary remains confidential."
"Alright. Before then, keep your schedule free for me."
"Why? My time is very valuable, you know. With my popularity, I should be charging by the second, right?"
The man smiled. "Okay, name your price. Mark down the time, and I'll settle the bill later."
"That generous?"
"My money is yours anyway. It's up to you when I pay."
Xia Wei Liang lowered her gaze and smiled, twirling a strand of her hair. "Actually, it's not that I'm greedy for money~"
"Mm, I know. You love me."
"..."
He was so direct, Xia Wei Liang was at a loss!
Are male leads this bold nowadays??
