Noticing Freya's gaze, Xia Qingtian looked back.
Seeing this, Freya's eyes curved into a smile, revealing a pleasant expression. She then casually picked up the documents in her hand and walked towards a nearby workstation to inquire about work matters.
"She's so beautiful, with blonde hair, blue eyes, and a very elegant aura," Li Xiaoxiao whispered, covering her mouth with her hand. "This morning, several guys were asking for her contact information."
"Having high颜值 certainly offers some advantages," Xia Qingtian said, playfully lifting Li Xiaoxiao's chin. "You're cute too."
"Oh, stop teasing me~" Li Xiaoxiao waved Xia Qingtian's hand away with a smile. "Don't joke around. I need to work hard to create some value and compete for job opportunities or internship spots."
"Then you'll have to work hard~" After a pause, Xia Qingtian remembered to remind her, "It's filming period now, so try not to leave people's sight. Otherwise, editing or other matters will become very troublesome."
Although they weren't in the same department, Xia Qingtian felt that Li Xiaoxiao's safety should be reasonably assured with so many people watching.
"Okay, I'll be careful." Li Xiaoxiao knew she wasn't good at this at all, so she nodded and decided to do as Xia Qingtian said.
Seeing that it was almost time, Xia Qingtian left the creative department.
Watching Xia Qingtian leave, Li Xiaoxiao also decided to complete her own work properly.
"You two have such a good relationship," Freya's voice suddenly sounded beside Li Xiaoxiao, startling her.
"Yes, Tian and I are good friends. She takes good care of me," Li Xiaoxiao said with a faint smile.
"Is that so..." Freya chuckled, contemplating inwardly. If she used this seemingly foolish Li Xiaoxiao as bait, what would be the chances of successfully kidnapping Xia Qingtian?
Meanwhile, as Xia Qingtian walked down the road, she inexplicably felt a gust of cold wind, and a chill ran down her spine.
"Hiss..." Taking a sharp breath, Xia Qingtian rubbed her arms and walked into the elevator.
Just as the elevator doors were about to close, a hand reached in, stopping them from closing. A man then entered and casually ordered, "To your CEO's floor."
Xia Qingtian glanced at the man's profile, her lips turning slightly downwards. She then raised her hand and pressed the corresponding floor button.
It wasn't that she was going to comply with this unreasonable person's demand, but rather that she happened to be going to the same floor.
Her slender, fair fingers flashed in the corner of his eye, immediately capturing the man's attention. His gaze fell upon her hand, then followed up to Xia Qingtian's face. After a moment of hesitation, he called out a name: "Xia Qingtian?"
Hearing the other party accurately call out her name, Xia Qingtian couldn't pretend not to hear. She looked over and offered a faint smile, "Mr. Gu."
"Oh? You know who I am?" The man's lips curved upwards, his gaze becoming more audacious as he brazenly appraised Xia Qingtian.
"Wanqing Entertainment frequently trends on hot searches. It's hard for people in this circle not to recognize the CEO of Wanqing Entertainment," Xia Qingtian said with a subtle meaning in her words and a perfectly proper smile on her face. Even if Gu Yaoqing could detect the sarcasm, it was difficult to find fault.
"Don't you also deserve some credit for that?" Gu Yaoqing seemed unfazed by Xia Qingtian's dig. "Wanqing Entertainment greatly values Miss Xia's abilities. If Miss Xia is interested, perhaps you'd consider Wanqing Entertainment."
He then flashed what he considered a charming CEO smile, "What Gu Yaoyang can give you, Wanqing Entertainment can give double."
"Poaching someone on Gu's Entertainment's turf doesn't seem right," Xia Qingtian raised an eyebrow. She had no interest in getting involved with Wanqing Entertainment's mess.
"What does it matter? A wise bird chooses its tree," Gu Yaoqing reached out to lift Xia Qingtian's chin. "Especially a beauty like Miss Xia."
Dodging Gu Yaoqing's hand, Xia Qingtian felt like punching him. What kind of scummy guy was this Gu Yaoqing?
Coincidentally, the elevator doors opened at that moment. Xia Qingtian immediately said, "I still have work to do. Excuse me."
She then quickly walked out.
"Any woman I desire will not escape my grasp..." Not managing to touch Xia Qingtian's cheek, Gu Yaoqing remained undeterred. His hand, which was still in mid-air, clenched into a fist. "Xia Qingtian, I'll remember you."
A chill ran down her back. Xia Qingtian felt as if she were being targeted by something utterly disgusting. She quickly fled into Gu Yaoyang's office and slammed the door shut.
The loud noise startled Gu Yaoyang, who was dozing off. "Hmm? What's wrong?"
"Yu Linwan's husband is here. Neither of them has a normal mind." Xia Qingtian still felt uncomfortable. She grabbed the disinfectant spray from Gu Yaoyang's desk and sprayed herself thoroughly.
Gu Yaoyang wasn't surprised by Gu Yaoqing's arrival. He had already instructed people to start taking action against Wanqing Entertainment, so it was only a matter of time before Gu Yaoqing came to find him.
However, seeing Xia Qingtian's disgusted expression, Gu Yaoyang's lips curved upwards. She looked so spirited, which was good.
Soon, the office door was pushed open, and Gu Yaoqing walked in directly, sitting casually on the guest sofa. "Mr. Gu, it's really not easy to get a meeting with you."
Only after Gu Yaoqing finished speaking did the intercom phone ring. Gu Yaoyang pressed the answer button, and the receptionist's apologetic voice came through, explaining that they couldn't stop Gu Yaoqing.
"I understand," Gu Yaoyang replied, hanging up the intercom. He then looked at Gu Yaoqing, his eyes distant and cold.
"Miss Xia, what a coincidence," Gu Yaoqing said upon seeing Xia Qingtian there. The smile that appeared on his lips made Xia Qingtian feel nauseously oily.
"Qingtian, I'd like a hot latte," Gu Yaoyang, disliking the way Gu Yaoqing looked at Xia Qingtian, simply sent Xia Qingtian away.
"Yes, Mr. Gu," Xia Qingtian said, relieved by Gu Yaoyang's words, and quickly left.
Watching Xia Qingtian's retreating back, Gu Yaoqing chuckled. "You really haven't changed at all. You have no idea how to cherish a woman. How could you bear to order around such a sexy beauty? No wonder you couldn't even keep your own fiancée, and now she's my wife."
After saying this, Gu Yaoqing looked at Gu Yaoyang with a smile, as if expecting to see a hint of embarrassment on Gu Yaoyang's face.
"I thought the matters of Wanqing Entertainment and Yaoqing Holdings would keep you busy enough to give you a headache," Gu Yaoyang said, as if he hadn't heard Gu Yaoqing's words, and instead let out a cold laugh. "What? Have you already figured out how to resolve the broken capital chain?"
