For a man over the age of 40 to act in such a manner was humiliating and shameful.
Yi Qinghan silently laughed, "You like yourself too much. Qingqing is here today to see me."
Shen Jie's face immediately turned sour.
Qiao Qing delivered the final strike, "I'm not here for you."
Shen Jie's heart broke into pieces then.
He patted his chest to calm himself down. It wasn't hard for Shen Jie to imagine how difficult it must be for editor Zhang Jing to rush for book drafts.
"It's okay if you aren't here for me." Shen Jie took his cup and drank some tea. After he mentally prepared himself, he continued, "But, since I caught you, I must ask. Are you planning on selling the filming rights for that third book of yours?"
Qiao Qing remembered something. Her finger tapped on the table, "I'm still debating."
Shen Jie's hand shook and water splattered.
Completely unaware of his action, he looked over to Qiao Qing bewildered with excitement, "Do you mean it?!"
Everytime he asked in the past, she would sternly shake her head and say, "Not selling. I'm not discussing it with you. Don't annoy me." And so on..
After so long, he no longer had much hope.
But what did he hear just now? She was thinking about it!
The three year long war was finally coming to an end!
Though Yi Qinghan didn't react as irrationally as Shen Jie, he too, looked over to Qiao Qing in awe, "Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
Qiao Qing remembered that pretty face outside the room. She didn't answer Yi Qinghan. Instead, she looked at Shen Jie, "Those two extras outside – one of them is my friend, Lin Xiyan."
Shen Jie immediately realized what Qiao Qing was asking for. He slammed the table, "Fu Siying, that b!tch always tries to stir up trouble! I'm going to decline her unreasonable request right now!"
Then, he stood up to leave.
Yi Qinghan's lips twitched. He found all of this funny as he glanced at Qiao Qing. Then, the two of them followed.
Fu Siying saw Shen Jie walk out of the room and she immediately went up to him. With a smile, he said, "Director Shen, isn't it time to deal with these two extras?"
Shen Jie glared at her, "Just focus on doing your job! Everyday, you stir up more and more trouble! If you ask me, those two extras are better actors than you!"
Fu Siying, "..."
All the employees watched Fu Siying being slapped in the face yet again. They so very much wanted to laugh.
But since Zhang Li had just been slapped, they didn't dare to show how they felt. All of them had a twisted expression as they hid their smiles.
Fu Siying kept on hitting walls left and right. Finally, she exploded and pointed at Qiao Qing and Shen Jie, "I don't know what her relationship is with you or what kind of deal you've made. But if you don't fire those two extras..."
Then, she took off her costume and the jewelry in her hair, "I'll stop acting in this film!" She threatened.
The moment the words were said, everyone was startled.
So to win this battle, she was determined to hand it to those two extras.
Thinking about this, they all looked over to Shen Jie. They believed that there was no way the director would try and protect those two actors now.
After all, the film was almost done. And the person who was threatening to quit was the female lead opposite of actor Yi.
If they change the main actress now, the cost for that would be impossible to estimate.
Fu Siying was certain that was the case, which was why she dared to threaten them.
After all, Shen Jie was the most prominent director in this country and wasn't a man who didn't know the rules.
Who could predict that the next second, Shen Jie turned to Yi Qinghan and asked, "Qinghan, would you be okay with it if we change the main actress and re-film everything?
Fu Siying, "...??!!"
Yi Qinghan gave Qiao Qing a look before the corners of his lips curled up. "I'm more than willing."
