Yin Shiqiong also sighed in relief. She originally thought that girl was Fu Xiuyu's side chick or something.
Now it appeared that the girl just one-sidedly liked him.
Shen Jie wanted to say something but Qiao Qing stopped him with a look.
She looked over to Lin Xiyan with a serious expression on her face.
Though Qiao Qing wasn't sure what kind of feelings Li Xiyan had towards this brother of hers, she had placed a rare opportunity that promised Lin Xiyan's future before her. It was going to be up to her to grasp onto this opportunity.
Qiao Qing wanted to see if Lin Xiyan was worth the effort she put in, in paving out a grand path.
Fu Xiuyu watched over Lin Xiyan's pale little face. The pain he felt suddenly got stronger and his head began to hurt.
He had no idea what was wrong so he could only suppress this strange feeling.
Again, he looked at Lin Xiyan and asked, "What do you say?"
Lin Xiyan's shoulders were visibly shaking. She used all her might to tighten her fists and did her best to stop the tears from falling out of her eyes.
Her lips twisted and she responded in a calm voice, "Sorry. I earned this female lead role by successfully auditioning. I'm not going to trade."
Qiao Qing sighed in relief.
Fu Siying immediately exploded, "We give you face yet you don't want it! We are providing you with a chance to step down! You think it's up to you whether you trade or not?!"
"Siying." Fu Xiuyu disagreed with her and gestured for her to calm down.
Then, he looked back at Lin Xiyan, "You better think this through. If you think I didn't provide you with enough, you can ask for more. Such as roles in other shows."
"Star Entertainment has plentiful resources that you can utilize. More importantly, if you enter a proper company like Star Entertainment, your journey will be brighter than if you don't."
Just then, Qiao Qing walked over, "On behalf of Xiyan, I thank you, CEO Fu, for your offer. But what a shame, she's already a talent signed under Sky Entertainment."
Fu Xiuyu froze. Of course, he knew Sky Entertainment.
It was a new company but its growth has surpassed everyone's expectations. Today, it was basically just as influential as Star Entertainment. Perhaps it's even starting to get ahead.
On top of that, the most recognized hot commodity in the entertainment industry today, Yi Qinghan, was signed to Sky Entertainment.
Fu Xiuyu wasn't the only one who was astounded, Lin Xiyan also looked dumbfounded, "Qingqing, I..."
She wanted to ask her why she suddenly became a signed talent, but the look in Qiao Qing's eyes stopped her.
Though she had no idea why Qiao Qing made such a statement, Lin Xiyan knew that she just needed to play along.
Inhaling deeply, she pushed down all her emotions and looked over to Fu Xiuyu, "That's right, Fu... Mr. Fu, I thank you for your offer. But no matter what offers you make me, there is no way I would give up this role to you... sister."
"That's not up to you!" Fu Siying laughed coldly and looked over to Fu Xiuyu, "Brother, why are you wasting time negotiating? She doesn't know how high the sky is! She doesn't deserve your offers. Just talk to director Shen!"
Fu Xiuyu sighed at Lin Xiyan, "Then, sorry for using my influences. This is how the entertainment industry works. You'll learn soon. Experiencing a lot will help you grow."
He walked past Lin Xiyan and went up to Shen Jie, "Director Shen, my sister wants to play the lead role in your new production. Can you give us some face? No worries about the budget. I will personally cover all the cost."
"Plus, both yourself and actor Yi have worked with my sister. I'm sure it'll be easier for you all to work together again than to form a brand new team. What do you say?"
