C119 Premeditated
"What do you mean by'playing a show' and taking what we both need'? Xia Jing, are you trying to comfort yourself?" Although Fan Xin Ran said that, the panic in her eyes had obviously betrayed her.
Xia Jing immediately stood up and reached out her hand, "Miss Fan, let's have a good cooperation."
There were some things that did not need to be explained clearly.
Because the truth was the truth. It could not be changed. It could not be changed whether she told it or not.
Fan Xin Ran looked at her with an ashen face. Happy cooperation? Pui! She did not want to work with the Xia Family, nor did she want to work with this woman.
Indeed, she was not the only one who had such thoughts.
Once the news that the Xia Family Enterprise had just signed a new spokesperson spread, it caused a great stir in society.
Who was the CEO of the Xia family's company, and who was Fan Xin Ran? These two were Shen Ruo Bai's new and old lovers.
Never in his wildest dreams would he have thought that the two of them would one day come to an agreement. Wasn't this even more dreamlike than a dream?
People always said that ex-girlfriends and current girlfriends would always be enemies who would never interact with each other, but these two could actually get along harmoniously in the same company?
However, from their standpoint, their ex-girlfriend had the upper hand. Xia Jing was the CEO of the company, and Fan Xin Ran was just a spokesperson, which meant that Xia Jing was her boss.
Fan Xin Ran was willing to accept such a cooperation just for the money.
There were a lot of rumors going around in the outside world, so there were not too many things that would harm Xia Jing.
Some people even said that she was open-minded and magnanimous, allowing the person who stole her fiancé to marry her.
However, no one knew if that was the truth or not.
The person who was most prejudiced against this matter was none other than Song Yi.
"Hey, what the hell is wrong with you? Why did you give up on a big star like me? Why did you sign such a shady woman?" When Song Yi heard the news, he felt a deep sense of defeat. She didn't take him seriously when he was rushing to cooperate with the Xia Family Company, but the Xia Family Company turned around and signed that woman Fan Xin Ran.
The relationship between Fan Xin Ran and Shen Ruo Bai was still unclear. Was Xia Jing deliberately looking for trouble for him?
"My company is small, and we can't accommodate a big Buddha like you. It's enough for a woman like you to do whatever she wants." Xia Jing's explanation was really simple and shameless.
Hearing her relaxed tone, Song Yi was really not so angry at all. "Are you for real? Hey, do you not care about that woman at all?"
"Hmm? She is so popular right now. She can make our company famous and make money for our company. What do I mind? I should be thanking her."
On the other side, Song Yi was silent for a long time. "If your company really needs a spokesperson, you can really come to me. I'm not expensive at all. It's not expensive at all. You can even give me a discount."
He really did not understand Xia Jing's intention.
Women had always been fragile. It was not like he had never seen Xia Jing's weak side before.
No matter how generous she was, she should not tolerate Fan Xin Ran.
If it was really because of the development of the Xia family's company that she tolerated everything and signed Fan Xin Ran's contract, then there was no need at all.
"I'm sorry, but our company doesn't lack a spokesperson, but judging from your tone, are you out of your mind? You actually offered a discount?"
"Whether I can do it or not, you will know once you give it a try." Song Yi's face darkened, and his tone was muffled, "What should I do? I realize that I don't understand you anymore."
He was really getting more and more confused about what this woman was doing.
Previously, he thought that she was innocent and could occasionally fantasize about him. Perhaps he could get closer to her, but now, he felt that he was getting further and further away from her.
"Did you ever understand me?" Xia Jing felt that he was a little confused, so she smiled and said, "However, I still have to thank you for your good intentions. I'm fine. Signing Fan Xin Ran was my idea. The person who was unwilling was not me. You don't have to worry about me at all."
Although Song Yi had never interacted with him much, she could still feel his concern.
He must be worried that she was forced to sign Fan Xin Ran's contract for the sake of the Xia Family, but on the contrary, she was the one who started it, and the one who was forced to sign the contract was Fan Xin Ran.
"How do you know I'm worried about you? I just feel that it's unfair. You can sign her but not me. I even want to use the opportunity of you signing me to get close to you."
"If there's nothing else, I'll hang up. I still have a lot of things to take care of." Xia Jing spoke on the phone while handling the documents. She did not think she had the time to listen to Song Yi's nonsense.
"Don't, don't, don't. My manager is not here right now. It's rare for me to have the time to call you. Why don't you talk to me a little more? Did Lin Xiu contact you?"
When Lin Xiu was mentioned, Xia Jing's hands that were handling the documents suddenly paused, and her face turned serious. "Yeah, how did you know?"
"I can feel it." Song Yi's voice suddenly became strange. He was silent for a long time before he spoke again. "Maybe Lin Xiu is not the right person for you."
Xia Jing was stunned. "Why do you say that?"
He had said the same thing before, but at that time, it was because she was with Shen Ruo Bai, so he said that. But now that she was all by herself, why did he suddenly say that?
"Don't ask me why. In any case, I used to know Lin Xiu very well, but now..." Song Yi didn't know what to say. "I'm doing this for your own good."
"Hey, are you saying that because you have designs on me, Brother Lin Xiu?" Xia Jing leaned back in her chair and asked with a smile.
This playboy, Song Yi, had an unpredictable personality. He might have set his sights on her.
"How do you know that I want to get my hands on you?"
Xia Jing suddenly regretted making such a joke, because Song Yi had always been a person who did not play by the rules.
"Although there might be such a reason behind it, let me be serious with you. Try your best and stay away from Lin Xiu." He did not know if he was wrong or not, but he felt that Lin Xiu was no longer the way he used to be with Xia Jing.
In the past, it was love; now, it was like hate because of love.
He only hoped that there was something wrong with his feelings. After all, he did not want anything to happen to Xia Jing.
"Are you serious?" Xia Jing had thought that he was just joking, but she was not used to being beaten up so seriously. "You and Lin Xiu, did you quarrel?"
Otherwise, why would he come and speak ill of Lin Xiu's brother in front of her?
She had known Lin Xiu for so many years. She knew very well what kind of person he was. She knew very well why she had to stay away from him.
"Not at all. Hey, what should I say to make you understand?" Song Yi was furious. He lay on the sofa distractedly. He did not know how to express the feeling in his heart.
After Lin Xiu returned to the country, he would contact him from time to time. He often talked about Xia Jing in a strange tone.
At first, he did not feel that there was anything wrong with it, but recently, his words had become more and more baffling. He was always worried that something would happen to Xia Jing.
He could only hope that everything was just an illusion.
"Alright, I don't have time to talk to you anymore. Handle the documents." Xia Jing could not be bothered with him anymore.
In her eyes, Song Yi was the abnormal one.
Ai Mi just happened to send in another document and said while she was at it, "Director Xia, Director Qin is here. He is in the lounge."
Xia Jing had no choice but to put down the document in her hand.
At the same time, she rubbed her forehead. She could roughly guess the purpose of Qin Mo's actions.
In the resting room, Qin Mo stood quietly by the window. He was dressed in a well-ironed silver suit, which perfectly highlighted his golden figure.
Xia Jing looked around but Mr. Bodyguard did not come. He was the only one.
"Mr. Qin." She slowly walked over and greeted him with a smile.
Qin Mo turned his head around and his slightly gloomy face relaxed. "Xiao Jing."
"You came to find me because of Fan Xin Ran, right?" Xia Jing never liked to change the topic of conversation. She casually found a seat and sat down while propping her chin up with her hands lazily, looking at Qin Mo with an innocent expression.
Qin Mo raised his eyebrows slightly. His handsome face looked especially beautiful in the mottled sunlight that shone through the window, "You guessed it."
"It's not hard to guess, you came as soon as the news of me signing Fan Xin Ran spread. There can't be any other reason." Xia Jing suddenly put down one of her hands that was supporting her chin and sighed slightly, "I just didn't expect that Mr. Qin would actually pay so much attention to Fan Xin Ran."
The news had only spread for a few hours and Qin Mo had already rushed over personally. He was really in a hurry.
"You're wrong. I am not paying attention to her," Looking at her helpless expression, Qin Mo's smile slowly deepened, "I am paying attention to you."
Xia Jing's heart skipped a beat, and her face inexplicably blushed.
She quickly calmed down and said, "It seems that Mr. Qin is very cautious about his partners."
Qin Mo did not want to explain, so he pondered for a while and said, "Can you explain to me why you signed Fan Xin Ran?"
Signing Fan Xin Ran had caused a sensation in the media industry, so he was also curious about this action.
"She's able to earn money for the Xia Family Enterprise." Xia Jing stood up with a smile and walked step by step in front of Qin Mo. Her beautiful eyes curved with a smile, "Otherwise, what else could it be?"
Qin Mo did not fall for her trick at all. "There are a lot of celebrities who can make money for the Xia Corporation, right?"
In principle, she and Fan Xin Ran were enemies. It did not make any sense for her to sign Fan Xin Ran's contract.
Could it be that she did it on purpose because she could not let go of that person?
"Hey, so what kind of explanation do you want to hear?" Xia Jing's face suddenly fell.
Since he did not believe her even if she explained, then he could only think according to his guess.
"Xiao Jing." Qin Mo slowly hid his expression and looked at Xia Jing seriously.
Xia Jing raised her eyebrows, but she heard him say sincerely, "I hope you can really start again."
Xia Jing was silent for a moment and then she raised her eyebrows and smiled, "I understand what you mean but there are some things that are not as simple as you think. Mr. Qin, you don't have to worry about me."
