Chapter 42: 42: Dignitaries (4)

He was a businessman, and Xia Siyu was his most perfect creation. As both her agent and a friend for many years, he had a responsibility to protect her.

If she wanted to play the supporting actress, so be it; after all, it was Wang Ju t s film, and there was nothing wrong with being guided by a great director.

So, things were settled, and the details like the remuneration were matters for the agency to squabble over with the production company. Xia Siyu never bothered with these trivialities, nor did she care to.

With Qin Baizhou on the team, the coordination with the other side went smoothly. Qin Baizhou was a master of tai chi; once he arrived, he eased the tense atmosphere that had been created by Xia Siyu’s earlier uproar.

Soon, the issue was resolved.

During this process, Bo Yan had not taken part in their discussions. When everything was almost set, he put down his pen, stood up, and without acknowledging the two teams concerning the female lead and supporting actress, went straight out the door.

Outside, since the candidates had been selected, all those who had come for the audition had left. The once-noisy corridor quieted down suddenly.

The sky was overcast, and thunder rumbled intermittently. The windows in the corridor were wide open, and the curtains fluttered in the wind. It was not yet six o’clock, and though it was summer, the sky was gloomy, signaling an approaching storm.

Bo Yan stood at the door, quietly observing the scenery outside until everyone inside had finished their discussions and come out; only then did he turn around.

After turning, he didn’t spare a glance at Xia Siyu; Xia Siyu didn’t pay attention to him either. He only looked at Wang Ju, “Director Wang, when do we start filming?”

Wang Ju replied, “The crew still needs to set up scenes and scout outdoor locations, and we need to hold a script-reading session, so let’s say in half a month. This production will take quite a long time to shoot, and I don’t like it when people frequently ask for leave, nor do I like overlapping filming schedules. I hope everyone can cooperate as much as possible. Also, I have some things to attend to today, so I won’t be treating everyone to dinner tonight. Once everything is settled, we’ll get together.”

Bo Yan naturally nodded, and he was the first to leave after Wang Jut Before he left, he didn’t say goodbye to Xia Siyu and Shang Feifei, instead, he greeted the casting director and producer before striding out.

Shang Feifei looked at him, then at Xia Siyu. The two had no exchange throughout the whole process, and it was apparent that Bo Yan didn’t seem eager to interact with Xia Siyu.

Could she have heard wrong? Was the sultry woman on the phone someone else?

When the actors left, they saw Bo Yan’s car parked outside; he leaned against the car door, apparently on the phone. Just after he spoke a few words, thunder rumbled, the weather shifted suddenly, and large raindrops fell like beads.

Shang Feifei had her own car, and her chauffeured vehicle was also at the

entrance. She sprinted to her car with the help of her assistant. Just as she got in, she didn’t forget to look back.

Through the curtain of rain, Bo Yan hung up the phone, got into his car, but did not drive off immediately.

On the other hand, Qin Baizhou shielded Xia Siyu as they rushed into the red sports car, and without much delay, the car started up and drove off.

After the red sports car fired up, Bo Yan’s Maybach also quickly set off. The two vehicles went in opposite directions, growing farther and farther apart..
