Xia Xingcheng finally found an excuse to convince the producer to leave.
But she was afraid of what would happen. Sure enough, when she was about to walk out of the hotel door, someone behind her suddenly stopped her in confusion.
"Xia Xingcheng?"
Xia Xingcheng's footsteps stopped out of habit. He actually knew who this person was, but he could only grit his teeth, quicken his pace and leave without daring to stop.
When Jiang Chengyao saw that the woman in front of him had run away, he became more sure of his guess and chased her out without having time to think about it.
His voice was loud, and he shouted while chasing: "Xia Xingcheng, wait, I know it's you."
Fortunately, there were many people around. They were all busy with their own affairs at this time and did not notice the movement on Xia Xingcheng's side.
When Xia Xingcheng saw that Jiang Chengyao was about to catch up with her, she couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. She had no choice but to turn a corner and go to an empty box.
Quietly waiting for Jiang Chengyao to catch up.
Anyway, now it seems that he can't hide anymore and can only face it.
Sure enough, Jiang Chengyao walked into the box after a while. After seeing the face of Xia Xingcheng, he couldn't help but reveal a gentle smile.
"Xing Cheng, let me tell you that I didn't admit my mistake. It was indeed you."
Seeing Xia Xingcheng smile awkwardly, Jiang Chengyao sat elegantly beside Xia Xingcheng, took out a tissue and elegantly wiped the sweat on his body from chasing Xia Xingcheng just now.
Thinking of the scene just now, Jiang Chengyao couldn't help but look at her funny, "You know it's me, why are you running away? Why have you suddenly disappeared recently? Do you know that I haven't found you for any reason, and I'm very anxious."
Xia Xingcheng suddenly felt guilty, and couldn't help but look at him sheepishly: "Well, something very important happened to me some time ago, and I never had time to tell you."
How could Jiang Chengyao not know that Xia Xingcheng didn't want to tell the truth, so he didn't ask too much and just looked at her with some relief.
"It's good that I can find you now. You won't avoid me anymore this time, right?"
Xia Xingcheng waved her hands quickly, feeling that Jiang Chengyao was too considerate, making her feel very embarrassed.
After all, she didn't tell anyone when she left. She was really incompetent as a friend.
Thinking of this, Xia Xingcheng couldn't help but look at Jiang Chengyao apologetically, and explained to her: "Jiang Chengyao, thank you for always understanding me. To be honest, I did have to leave because of something that happened to me recently, and I can’t go back to Stardust Entertainment for the time being.”
"So, can you promise me not to tell anyone about your meeting with me? Don't tell anyone."
After Xia Xingcheng finished speaking, she looked at him sincerely, her eyes filled with complicated emotions.
I don't know why, but seeing his expression like this, Jiang Chengyao's heartbeat skipped a beat for no reason.
He quickly concealed his strange emotions calmly, and still had a gentle smile on his lips.
"It's not impossible for me to promise you, but how are you going to thank me?"
Xia Xingcheng immediately showed joy, knowing that with Jiang Chengyao's personality, he would definitely do what he promised and would never break his promise.
So she chuckled and said quickly: "Well, how about I treat you to dinner?"
She remembered that before she left without saying goodbye, she did owe Jiang Chengyao a meal. Things happened in such a hurry at that time that she left before she could say anything.
Jiang Chengyao also remembered this matter and couldn't help but nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I remember I owe you a meal, so I'll treat you to it. How about tonight?"
Xia Xingcheng thought that today was simply the weekend, so she nodded and agreed to the matter.
Jiang Chengyao seemed to be in a good mood, and he couldn't help teasing her: "Well, don't break your promise this time."
Xia Xingcheng laughed awkwardly and waved her hands quickly: "No, no."
The two of them chatted a few words casually, because Xia Xingcheng was worried that staying here with Jiang Chengyao for a long time would arouse others' suspicion. After all, Jiang Chengyao was a public figure.
So she said hello to Jiang Chengyao, left each other's phone numbers and left in a hurry.
In the evening, Xia Xingcheng deliberately changed into more formal clothes and prepared to go to the banquet.
After all, she had already promised Jiang Chengyao, so naturally she would not break the promise again.
Jiang Chengyao set the address at a relatively private Western restaurant.
Because of his special status, he has always been cautious, so Xia Xingcheng is not very worried about this.
So I haven't seen him for many days, but Jiang Chengyao has long lost the gloominess he once had, and is still as good as before, exuding that innate gentleness.
The few of them got along for a while, and the atmosphere gradually relaxed, and they started chatting casually.
Jiang Chengyao is always like this. Getting along with him gives people a very comfortable feeling and makes people relax unconsciously.
So Xia Xingcheng couldn't help but ask her question today.
"Why did I meet you there today? You are also here to sign a contract, shouldn't you?"
Jiang Chengyao took an elegant sip of red wine and said helplessly: "Why not? I also live in filming."
"There are two signings today, one for yours and one for "Love Strategy", do you know?"
Xia Xingcheng was slightly startled, wasn't this He Jing's scene
So he asked in surprise: "Is that the leading male character you?"
Jiang Chengyao nodded: "It's indeed me. It's just that I had an accident when I was looking into the mirror. Now it's a newcomer from another agency."
Xia Xingcheng nodded, and was about to praise He Jing in his heart for his ability. He could win such a big IP production, but he heard Jiang Chengyao continue to say: "It's just that the male lead is not me now. I just received the call." The notice from above told me to stop performing."
"Going on strike? What do you mean?"
Jiang Chengyao shrugged his shoulders and sighed as if he didn't want to say more: "I can't disobey the sudden regulations from above. Besides, after this TV series has made such a fuss, I don't want to act in it anymore."
Xia Xingcheng nodded clearly, feeling that things suddenly became a little complicated, but for a moment she couldn't tell what went wrong.
So she could only comfort her: "Okay, so that's it, then don't act."
Even though he said this, Xia Xingcheng couldn't help but feel a little pity in his heart. After all, if He Jing's drama had Jiang Chengyao as the male lead, the effect would definitely be different.
But this is someone else's private matter after all, so Xia Xingcheng will naturally not interfere.
So the two of them didn't talk about this matter, but Xia Xingcheng secretly thought in her heart that she should take a good look at what went wrong with "Love Strategy" when she went back.
