Chapter 1271: Chapter 1270: Her Majesty Strikes the Scumbag (Part 2)
When she came in, Xu Jiayang glanced at her and then withdrew his gaze to continue handling the documents.
These two people, it seems, will take a while to get along.
"What are you two up to?" Xia Shi asked.
Xia Weibao raised her head, her big eyes curving into crescents, "We’re looking at the comments online. Qiao Yuchu is getting bashed so badly, haha."
Leng Yan also looked up and gave Xia Shi a thumbs up, "Xia Shi, how did you manage to get Zhai En to announce the lead cast news on Weibo even before signing the contract? That’s amazing!
Now Qiao Yuchu’s face is swollen, and she doesn’t dare to fart, haha."
Xia Shi’s face stiffened, feeling a bit awkward and somewhat flustered.
Xu Jiayang’s gaze swept across her face, and he spoke indifferently, "Leng Yan, go to the meeting."
"What meeting? I’m talking to Xiao Shishi, don’t butt in."
"The PR department meeting at five. Can’t you remember anything?"
Leng Yan slapped his forehead, "Oh right, I almost forgot. Xia Weibao, I’m off to the meeting. We’ll custom-tailor an operation plan for you. Don’t you think I’m a great boss? You don’t need to thank me too much, just remember to make more money for me."
Xia Weibao, "..."
Really want to slap this silly boss and send him flying!
If it weren’t for Xu Jiayang, the company probably would have gone bankrupt a hundred times already!
Seeing Leng Yan leave, Xia Shi breathed a sigh of relief.
Luckily, he didn’t ask further questions.
Just as she relaxed, she noticed Xia Weibao staring at her without blinking.
Xia Shi’s heart skipped a beat, "What are you looking at? Is there something on my face?"
"Nothing," Xia Weibao said, though her gaze grew more suspicious.
She felt that something was off with Xia Shi’s expression.
Still the same face, but there was something... alluring?
Couldn’t put a finger on it, but it was definitely different from what she saw yesterday.
Xia Shi walked to the bookshelf, took out the script of "Intrigue Within," and turned around only to see Xia Weibao gazing suspiciously at her legs.
"Baby, what are you looking at?"
Xia Weibao frowned, "Sister Xia Shi, where did you go last night?"
The way she was walking didn’t seem quite right.
She was all too familiar with why women might walk wobbly like that.
"No... nowhere, just slept at home."
Xia Shi said, her eyes darting around as she walked over to Xia Weibao with the script to explain it to her.
Xia Weibao listened intently, occasionally looking up to see Xia Shi bowing her head, her scarf slightly sliding off, revealing a small section of her fair and delicate neck.
And the kiss marks on it.
Her Majesty the Empress’s eyes widened instantly.
Sister Xia Shi has a boyfriend?!
How come there’s no gossip about it?
And the timing, it’s too much of a coincidence...
Feeling puzzled inside, her face remained expressionless.
"Sister Xia Shi, why did Director Zhai En suddenly give me the lead role? How did you persuade him?"
Xia Shi’s heart skipped a beat, "You’re famous and talented in acting, isn’t it normal for him to give you the role? What, no confidence?"
"Of course not, I’m confident."
Xia Weibao grinned brightly.
Maybe she was overthinking. Given Xia Shi’s current face, no one would likely be interested in her like that.
It’s just that...
Xia Weibao’s gaze fell on Xia Shi’s figure, damn, what a knockout!
Xia Shi used to be a great beauty. What if someone really took a fancy to her figure? After all, for men, turning off the lights makes everyone the same.
Besides, what if Zhai En is a pervert who happens to like this type?
