Although she still had a pile of things to handle, Chu Qiao was her friend, and they had fought snakes and battled together. Xia Weiliang still made it to the company and had a meeting with Xiao Du and the others.
"Are you saying the company is having bad luck? Should we find a master to tell our fortunes? First, it was Xiao Liang's cheap parents causing trouble, jumping off buildings or rivers; then Chu Qiao was involved in a scandal of an extramarital affair... Can't they find another company to bother?"
General Manager Jiang was so angry his liver hurt.
Director Du tried to placate him, "General Manager Jiang, please calm down. You can't blame the children entirely; these things found them, and they're in a difficult situation too."
Ji Huan looked at him in surprise, her eyes clearly showing approval: "You've become more human in just a few days!"
Just then, Chu Qiao also entered.
She plopped onto the sofa, her long legs crossed over the coffee table, "Damn it! I'm so pissed off!"
General Manager Jiang glared at her, "Look, you all see..."
Director Du quickly appeased him, "Don't be like her. I'll talk to her, I'll talk to her..." He glared back at Chu Qiao, "Sit up straight!"
Chu Qiao jumped and quickly put her feet down. Only then did she see who was sitting in the director's office, "Oh, General Manager Jiang is here too! I'm so sorry, I didn't see you just now."
General Manager Jiang rubbed his chest, remaining silent. If it weren't for the fact that she kept making money for the company, he would have sold her long ago!
The door was then shoved open with a bang.
General Manager Jiang's heart skipped a beat again, "Oh my, what is going on?"
Xia Weiliang rushed in and went straight to Chu Qiao, "What did you say on WeChat just now? You're getting married?!"
Chu Qiao didn't hold back, "Yes, I can register soon!"
Director Du and Ji Huan were stunned, "Chu Qiao, what did you say you were doing?"
General Manager Jiang's eyes widened in anger. He really didn't want to say anything more at this point.
"Registering!"
Chu Qiao said righteously, "Didn't they say I was having an affair with a married man! I'll get married first to show them, and then it will be Lin Zhuonan having an affair with a married woman! Hahaha, aren't I brilliant?"
The remaining people looked at her expressionlessly. General Manager Jiang suddenly said, "Xiao Du, from now on, when signing artists, don't just focus on talent. The most important thing is to check their brains and make sure they don't have any serious illnesses before signing them."
Director Du repeatedly agreed, then said with disappointment, "You called us all here today just to come up with such a rotten idea?"
"It's a brilliant idea!" Chu Qiao retorted stubbornly, "Lin Zhuonan and his wife don't want to announce it publicly, so I will!"
Xia Weiliang suddenly felt very gratified.
"Qiao, people have always said I'm foolish, but with you now, it's like a window of wisdom has opened for me, and the world has become clear!"
Ji Huan also glared at her, "The problem now is that neither Lin Zhuonan nor his wife wants to announce it publicly, but this issue still needs to be resolved. We need to protect their secret marriage while also clarifying that Lin Zhuonan cheated with Chu Qiao. In short, everyone needs to get out of this unscathed."
Chu Qiao was angered by this, "Listen to yourselves, is this something a person would ask? They get all the benefits, and we have to bear the consequences! What, is the company smaller than theirs? Or is the boss not capable enough to compare with them?!"
Director Du slyly glanced at General Manager Jiang beside him and vaguely said, "Who knows~"
Ji Huan merely snorted with a smirk.
General Manager Jiang became anxious, his cheeks turning red, "What do you mean by that? Are you implying something about me? I'm not afraid of their big company; I'm considering future cooperation! If we can resolve this perfectly this time, won't they owe us a favor? Won't our Meiyu be able to dominate in the future?"
Xia Weiliang couldn't listen anymore, "That's enough, General Manager Jiang. You believe their empty promises? We employees might believe it, but you are the investor!"
General Manager Jiang was silenced by her retort.
Xia Weiliang turned to Chu Qiao again, "Still talking about marriage, who are you going to marry? Do you have a boyfriend?"
"Yes!" Chu Qiao said domineeringly, "My assistant, you've met him!"
"Qi Chi?"
Xia Weiliang had a deep impression of him, mainly because he was so handsome. It was a waste of his looks to only be a small assistant.
"Alright, don't be silly!"
Director Du immediately stopped her and analyzed seriously, "Registering is absolutely impossible. You have a contract, and changing your marital status will result in compensation! However, you've reminded us that while you can't get married, you can have a boyfriend."
Ji Huan also guessed Director Du's intention and said, "Fans are actually very rational now. As long as it's not cheating or infidelity, they won't be triggered. Moreover, our Chu Qiao relies on her talent, so she doesn't need to maintain a single persona."
Director Du said, "This is currently the most stable approach. It can help them divert some attention and also bring more popularity to Chu Qiao."
Ji Huan agreed, "CPs are indeed more popular now."
The two of them looked at Xia Weiliang in unison.
Xia Weiliang felt like she was being called out.
"Don't look at me, I'm on the rise, and my single persona is unshakeable!"
Chu Qiao readily agreed, "If no one objects, then it's decided!"
"Wait a minute." Xia Weiliang stopped her, "You just decided? You have to ask his opinion! After all, his reputation will be at your mercy!"
Chu Qiao thought about it and agreed.
Although Qi Chi was usually easygoing, he had to discuss the matter of forming a fake CP with him.
Xia Weiliang didn't want her to worry and comforted her, "If he hesitates, tell him your original idea."
Director Du chuckled, "Exactly, tell him the truth, tell him what your initial plan was!"
"Heh, don't think I don't know you're implying something!" Chu Qiao rolled her eyes and grabbed her bag, "Prepare the official announcement copy!"
Xia Weiliang was worried, "I'll go with you, I'm afraid she'll force him into marriage!"
Director Du was surprised, "Yes, yes, go quickly!"
The two of them went downstairs. As soon as they got out of the elevator, they saw a young man standing opposite them.
Xia Weiliang's eyes lit up. Compared to when she last saw him, he seemed even more handsome! He had a charm between maturity and youth, clean yet not childish. How to put it, he was incredibly captivating!
"It's a shame he's not entering the entertainment industry!" Xia Weiliang said sincerely, "With such looks, with a little guidance, in time, he could rival Yi Shen for the top spot!"
"I've tried to persuade him, but he doesn't want to be a star." Chu Qiao was also quite appreciative of talent.
As the two walked over, Qi Chi maintained a faint smile, his gaze focused solely on Chu Qiao.
Frankly speaking, in terms of beauty, Xia Weiliang was more striking. But in Qi Chi's eyes, women were divided into two categories: Chu Qiao, and everyone else.
Therefore, even if Xia Weiliang was incredibly beautiful, he wouldn't spare her an extra glance.
