So it turns out that it was Jiang Wanze, that damned ex-protagonist, who ruined her plans.
Ye Xian scratched the palm of her hand, her eyes cunningly whirling, "Director Li, your deduction is incorrect. Sure, I'm on bad terms with Jiang Wanze, but that doesn't mean I have a poor relationship with President Bo. My relationship with Bo Tingshen in private is actually great!"
"President Bo, please try this Japanese brown rice tea, the flavor is sweet aftertaste..."
In booth C2, President Zhao of Xinlai Technology was offering tea to Bo Tingshen when he suddenly heard a confident "My relationship with Bo Tingshen in private is actually great!" coming from behind the screen, stopping him in his tracks.
It wasn't just him; everyone in the booth heard it.
President Fei of Tengyue Group, President Zhang of Guangda Jewelry, President Xie from VOGUE magazine, as well as the Japanese women in kimonos kneeling by the side, all cast doubtful glances at President Bo.
Someone at the next table knows President Bo too?
Bo Tingshen slowly raised his eyes, gazing at the slender figure behind the thin screen.
"Really?"
Li Jiahua looked at Ye Xian with some doubt.
Ye Xian let out a light chuckle, "Of course, even if you don't believe me, you should believe Shangguan Yunli, right? He and President Bo are good friends, you know that, don't you?"
"I know, I know!"
Shangguan Yunli, the son of a real estate tycoon, was known for his flirtatious and unrestrained ways. He had met countless people in the circle but favored none, except for President Bo of Bo Group.
"Just a few days ago, the three of us were playing golf together on the banks of Nanjing Lake, having a great time. This business card was given to me by Shangguan Yunli then."
"Playing golf?"
Li Jiahua was still somewhat unconvinced.
Although Ye Xian was rumored to have a wealthy backer in the industry, she couldn't possibly be acquainted with top-tier people like Shangguan Yunli and President Bo. Merely with a business card, he was not convinced.
"Truly." Ye Xian refilled his tea, "Director Li, how can you doubt my character? I never lie, and besides, what do I have to do for you to believe me?"
"Since you're so close to President Bo, why not have him directly give me a call? Why did you need to come for the audition yourself?"
No sooner had Li Jiahua finished speaking than Ye Xian's expression changed, and her tone became very serious, "Director Li, how can you view me that way? I, Ye Xian, rely on my abilities and strength for a living, not the kind of weakling who climbs up using connections."
Her righteous speech immediately brought a look of guilt to Li Jiahua's face.
Ye Xian: Well done, me, acting with such natural ease.
Li Jiahua: "Alright then, I'll ask you one last question, just how good is your relationship with President Bo? If you say it out, I can weigh the options, to see if I can use you or not."
"Just how good, you ask~"
Ye Xian, touching her chin, beckoned with a mysterious air towards him. Li Jiahua leaned in, and Ye Xian whispered in his ear.
"What?" To his surprise, Li Jiahua exclaimed a bit too excitedly after hearing her, "The kind where you give each other risqué lingerie!"
"Shh—" Ye Xian signaled him to keep it down, and Li Jiahua nodded repeatedly, even beginning to wonder if the legendary backer behind Ye Xian was none other than President Bo himself.
"Then I can be reassured to cast you... President Bo?!"
Li Jiahua was in mid-sentence when he suddenly looked behind Ye Xian in shock.
Behind the young girl, a beautifully carved screen was being slowly pushed open by the kimono-clad woman.
Turning her head in puzzlement, following his gaze, Ye Xian almost fell off her seat when she caught Bo Tingshen's chilling, serpent-like gaze.
"Pre-President Bo, what are you doing here?!"
