The entire conversation went smoothly, and Xia Qingtian learned that Mobius was Mr. Gu's chief secretary and special assistant.
It was evident that Mr. Gu highly valued Mobius, as he would immediately agree to almost any proposal Mobius made.
Within a few words, the matter of signing the contract was put on the agenda.
Unfortunately, Mr. Gu seemed very busy, and Mobius had to accompany him back to Gu's Entertainment. Xia Qingtian didn't get a chance to thank him properly.
As soon as Xia Qingtian left, the Mr. Gu who had been sitting there immediately got up, took a step back, and respectfully said to Mobius, "Mr. Gu, the entertainment company you asked us to monitor has indeed shown movement. They are currently acquiring scripts similar to our main theme for the next quarter. We are in contact, and the artists they want to sign have also received invitations from them."
"I understand," Mobius replied. "Continue to keep an eye on them."
"Yes."
"Assistant Lin, proceed with Xia Qingtian's signing in the direction of a virtual idol. The contract positioning should be A-level," Mobius arranged methodically. "Have Wen Ning handle the对接."
"Wen, Wen Ning?" Assistant Lin was a little surprised. Wen Ning was a top agent at Gu's Entertainment. Would it be an over-allocation of talent to have her manage a tentative project like a virtual idol?
However, thinking of the Mr. Gu in front of him, who seemed to foresee everything, he knew all his decisions would be correct and immediately agreed.
Then, as if remembering something, he asked, "Su Xin is already in contact with that Miss Mo. This matter..."
"Let her continue to contact them," Mobius narrowed his eyes slightly. "Just stall on the contract."
"Yes," Assistant Lin replied.
"Let's head back to the company." Mobius's phone buzzed. He took it out and glanced at it. It was a message from Xia Qingtian.
[Thanks for today~ We didn't get to chat properly. I'll treat you to a meal next time~ Cute.jpg]
A faint curve appeared at the corner of Mobius's lips, which he quickly concealed. He simply replied, [Okay.]
"He's such a reliable person!" Xia Qingtian said, holding her phone and smiling as she got into the car to go home.
Lately, the atmosphere at the Xia residence had been exceptionally good.
Xia Qingtian no longer provoked trouble with sarcastic remarks. Although Xia Qingyu was still wary of Xia Qingtian, her smile had clearly increased. Aunt Liu was as gentle and cheerful as ever and seemed to have recently taken up baking. Sweet fruit scents and rich cream aromas could always be smelled in the house. As long as one opened the refrigerator, there would be freshly made pastries inside, ready to be eaten at any time.
Father Xia saw all this and was delighted, especially since the Xia Corporation had secured the cooperation with Gu Corporation, and profits were expected to double by the end of the year.
Father Xia felt like he was already a winner in life. The only thing that puzzled him was Mr. Gu's words that day and Xia Qingtian's subtle attitude.
What was the relationship between those two?
Father Xia couldn't get an answer from Xia Qingtian, and he couldn't possibly go to Mr. Gu and ask, "What's your relationship with my daughter?" He was truly bothered by this.
However, Xia Qingtian went home honestly every day and helped at the company on holidays. Her life was very regular, and it didn't seem like she would get involved with Mr. Gu.
That was right, his daughter, Xia Honglang, wasn't someone who would act recklessly.
Thinking of this, Father Xia felt slightly relieved.
On the other side, Song Junhan at Xia's was not so reassured.
In his plan, Xia Qingtian was absolutely not allowed to get involved with any other man.
Even if Xia Qingtian was brainless, ignorant, and always had a condescending attitude, she was still the daughter of the Xia family!
Song Junhan could not let this prize be snatched away by someone else.
Mr. Gu...
Thinking of the Mr. Gu he saw that day, Song Junhan felt a burning discomfort in his heart.
Why were some people born to be so superior, while others were not?
What kind of woman wouldn't Mr. Gu have? Why did he have to fight him for this one chance to change his life?
Thinking of this, Song Junhan's heart sank further.
A man must be ruthless to succeed.
It seemed he had to arrange another accident. He didn't mind having a disabled person by his side, as long as she could breathe.
Mr. Gu was different. He certainly wouldn't allow Mrs. Gu to have any imperfections.
With this thought, Song Junhan's gaze became more determined.
It had to be said that in this regard, Song Junhan's execution ability was always commendable.
In less than a week, Song Junhan had arranged everything, from the vehicle to the driver.
To prevent Xia Qingtian from turning back halfway, Song Junhan had also carefully arranged another catalyst—Xia Qingyu.
Song Junhan had long heard that Xia Qingtian disliked her sister Xia Qingyu.
So he specifically hired someone to take photos of Xia Qingyu.
The photographer was a seasoned paparazzo in the industry, very good at finding angles and with strong post-processing skills.
Every photo was extremely ambiguous. Xia Qingyu's face was captured clearly, while the male interacting with her was only shown from the back, with even the edges blurred.
Photos like these were very problematic.
After sending a few of them, he indeed received a quick reply from Xia Qingtian: What is your purpose.
[I have more explosive photos here,] Song Junhan didn't want Xia Qingtian to guess who he was, so he directly registered a burner account. [Next Tuesday, at 4:30 AM, under the bus stop sign opposite the East Gate of Xinying Park.]
After sending this reply, Song Junhan directly took out the SIM card, threw it into a nearby trash can, and left.
Xia Qingtian's brows furrowed as she couldn't contact the number.
After a long period of thought, she walked directly to Xia Qingyu's room and knocked on the door.
When Xia Qingyu opened the door, she was slightly surprised to see Xia Qingtian: "You? What is it?"
"Are you... dating early?" Xia Qingtian asked Xia Qingyu.
"What?" Xia Qingyu was stunned. "What trick are you trying to pull now!"
She knew that this Xia Qingtian wouldn't stay quiet for long.
"Who is this person?" Xia Qingtian directly showed Xia Qingyu the photos on her phone. "They were sent to my phone."
"!" Xia Qingyu was completely stunned when she saw the photos, her mind buzzing: "This, this isn't! We're just ordinary classmates, I..."
Xia Qingyu didn't know how the photos came to have such strange effects, making it look as if she was really dating early.
"In short, you are not dating early, right?" Xia Qingtian was more concerned about this point.
"I am not dating early!" Xia Qingyu said immediately.
"That's good," Xia Qingtian said, hearing the answer from Xia Qingyu, and turned to leave.
"Wait a moment." Xia Qingyu stopped Xia Qingtian.
She originally wanted to question Xia Qingtian about where she got the photos, but when she met Xia Qingtian's gaze, it turned into a half-whining, half-stubborn statement: "I really didn't."
"Hmm, I believe you." Xia Qingtian smiled at Xia Qingyu and then turned back to her room.
Standing there, Xia Qingyu blushed, bit her lower lip, and seemed to be acting stubbornly about something.
