After sending Guan Zhiyi back, Qi Chengyan drove back to the restaurant.
Before entering the door, he made a call to his subordinates.
"President Qi."
Qi Chengyan: "Have all the roles of "The Court and the Wild" been decided?"
The assistant was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect him to suddenly care about these trivial matters, "The audition was a few days ago, and it should have been settled today."
"Have someone look at the list, and ask, by the way, why you swiped off Zhiyi."
Qi Chengyan has already decided to start in the entertainment industry, and his last investment in "The Court and the Wild" was just the beginning, not a big deal. So the assistant was wondering why he suddenly asked such details, but when he heard the name Guan Zhiyi, he suddenly understood.
Has that girl been brushed off
No wonder the boss himself called to ask.
After hanging up the phone, Qi Chengyan pushed open the door of the box. Guan Yuanbai was still sitting where he was, but the dishes on the table had been removed, replaced with tea and some snacks.
"Send her back?" Guan Yuanbai seemed to have known that he would come back.
Qi Chengyan sat down opposite and hummed.
Guan Yuanbai twitched the corners of his lips, and said helplessly: "Every time you quarrel, you are the one who coaxes it. No wonder you said that I am not as good as you when I was young."
Qi Chengyan frowned slightly: "This sounds a bit sour."
"That stinking girl has no conscience."
Qi Chengyan didn't answer, just poured himself a cup of tea. After taking a sip, he said: "Yuanbai, I know that you and your father have heart knots in this industry, but Xiao Wu is right, she is her, and your mother is your mother."
Guan Yuanbai looked out the window: "When she passed away, Xiao Wu was still young, so at that time Xiao Wu only knew how to envy her, and only thought that she was the most beautiful and eye-catching person in the world, but sometimes the price of being glamorous is not the price of ordinary people bearable."
"I know." Qi Chengyan lived beside them before, how could he not know about their family.
Qi Chengyan: "But Xiaowu didn't understand it when she was a child, and she should understand it when she grows up. But she still wants to follow your mother's path, and still wants to be an actress. It can be seen that she is not influenced, but really likes it."
Guan Yuanbai frowned: "However, at the beginning my mother had the entire Guan family behind her to help her and she was unhappy, so why should Xiao Wu go on this road again. In fact, I only hope that she can come home obediently, so that everyone will be happy." You can pamper her, she doesn't need to be so tired at all... Forget it, I've told her this countless times, she will always understand, now she is young and energetic and wants to fight against us."
"At first I thought she was just young and energetic, but now I think she won't look back." Qi Chengyan said.
Guan Yuanbai paused holding the cup, only to hear Qi Chengyan continue: "Your knots and the past should not be forced on her, since she likes it so much, let her go. If you are still worried, I will help you Watch."
Guan Yuanbai looked at him suspiciously.
Qi Chengyan smiled: "Now Qi intends to enter the entertainment industry, and she will know more about this industry in the future. But don't worry, she's just looking at it and won't go out of her way to praise her."
Guan Yuanbai: "Yes..."
"Or, do you really want to lose your sister completely?"
Guan Yuanbai opened his mouth, and pressed the center of his brows with a headache: "I can't do anything with her, just now... just left in a huff, unable to speak."
"Xiao Wu is actually very easy to talk to." Qi Chengyan said, "If you coax him, you will be good."
"That's for you." Guan Yuanbai said speechlessly, "When do you think she will calm down if I coax her?"
The corner of Qi Chengyan's mouth curled slightly: "That's your problem."
"..."
After the two chatted for a while, Guan Yuanbai let go. Seeing this, Qi Chengyan left and returned to the company.
Not long after he came back, there were a lot of things to deal with. So it wasn't until seven o'clock in the evening that he finished processing part of it and was ready to go home. But at this moment, the phone rang.
"Hey."
"Mr. Qi, after sending someone to investigate, the matter of Miss Guan has come to fruition."
Qi Chengyan sat down on the office chair again: "Say."
"It's like this. Originally, the director and the author were very satisfied with Ms. Guan, and they had already decided to sign it, but then they were suddenly told that they had to be replaced."
"must?"
"Yes." The assistant said, "The staff revealed that it was actually because of Ms. Zheng Yitong, the artist Zhao is always a relative of Zheng Yitong, and Ms. Zheng's family has a little say in the circle, so Mr. Zhao treats Ms. Zheng very much." Praise. Ms. Zheng must replace Ms. Guan, so Mr. Zhao asked someone to change it. After all, this IP is in the hands of Yixing, and Ms. Guan is also an artist of Yixing, so it is easy to handle... "
Qi Chengyan tapped on the keyboard lightly with a bit of force: "Zheng Yitong has a problem with her?"
"this… "
"Really?"
"Actually, the reason should be... you."
Qi Chengyan paused slightly: "Me?"
"Yes." The assistant coughed softly, "It is said that Ms. Zheng held a grudge against Ms. Guan because of the incident at the Nanjue Hotel. At first, she was afraid of you, but later found out that you and Ms. Guan have nothing at all... So in the Just vent your anger."
"Excuse me?" Qi Chengyan's eyes sank, "Is Zheng Yitong an actor in "The Court and the Field"?"
"Yes."
Qi Chengyan was silent for a moment: "Tell Zhao Zhihui that she was replaced. As for Xiao... Guan Zhiyi, keep the original decision. If Zhao Zhihui has any opinions, let him come to me by himself."
Qi Chengyan's tone was not serious, but the assistant heard his anger, so he quickly said, "Okay, Mr. Qi."
**
In fact, being replaced at the end of the day often happens, but this time Guan Zhiyi is sadder than ever.
Because she liked that novel so much, and paid too much attention to this audition, but unfortunately... it was still gone after all.
After coming back last night, Guan Zhiyi stayed up almost all night, so that when Liu Yun called her the next day and asked her to clean up and go downstairs immediately, she was still in a daze.
"Sister Yun? Go downstairs? What are you doing downstairs?"
"I'll be in your neighborhood right now, hurry up."
"what?"
"Stop it! Sign the contract, I'm going to sign the contract soon, get ready!"
"???"
…
The ups and downs are probably what she is going through now.
Guan Zhiyi didn't understand why he was replaced when he was so favored, and he didn't understand why he suddenly had to sign a contract after one night.
So after the contract was signed, she still didn't feel the authenticity.
"Why..." On the way, Guan Zhiyi couldn't help asking.
Liu Yun glanced at her and said with a smile, "You don't know why? What are you pretending to do with me?"
Guan Zhiyi was at a loss: "I really don't know."
Liu Yun was suspicious: "Qi Chengyan sent someone to use you again. Didn't you go to him to deal with this?"
Guan Zhiyi was stunned: "How could I go to him to deal with this?"
"But it was arranged by him." Liu Yun thought for a while and said, "It seems that he likes you quite a bit, and he even avenged you after knowing that you were replaced."
"revenge?"
"You don't know, you were replaced before because of Zheng Yitong's tricks. But now, Zheng Yitong is no longer participating in "The Court and the Wild". I heard from Mr. Zhao's little assistant that Qi Chengyan asked someone to replace her."
"how is this possible… "
"How is it impossible? Mr. Zhao dare not change Qi Chengyan? He is the biggest investor in this show, and... ahem, there is a special reason that cannot be made public now, but you will know later."
Guan Zhiyi said "Oh" and didn't ask any more questions. She took out her mobile phone and clicked into the WeChat dialog box, but seeing Qi Chengyan's blank profile picture, she didn't know what to say for a while.
Some excited, some unbelievable.
He actually helped her, but... didn't he say he wouldn't help her
"Zhiyi, you don't know these things? Could it be that Qi Chengyan is chasing you?"
"Cough—" Guan Zhiyi choked suddenly, "What?"
Liu Yun had a clear face: "Since you said that you are not in that kind of relationship, then I think this situation is chasing you."
"..."
Seeing Liu Yun's happy expression, Guan Zhiyi couldn't even explain clearly.
She let out a sigh of relief and didn't say anything at all. Anyway, Liu Yun wouldn't believe it anyway.
Guan Zhiyi gripped the phone tightly, lowered her head, and slowly typed a few words to Qi Chengyan.
[I heard about the character]
A few minutes later, Qi Chengyan replied to her: [Has the contract been signed?]
Guan Zhiyi: [signed]
Qi Chengyan: [OK]
Guan Zhiyi: [Thank you brother]
Qi Chengyan: [This is not entirely for helping you, but also for the success of this drama in the future. Since you are the director's favorite and think it is suitable, then this role is originally yours]
Guan Zhiyi: [Then Zheng Yitong?]
Qi Chengyan: [I don't want anyone to do whatever they want under my project]
The corners of Guan Zhiyi's mouth raised slightly, wanting to laugh, but afraid of being seen by Liu Yun, he quickly suppressed it.
[Thank you anyway]
[Well, how are you going to thank me?]
Guan Zhiyi thought for a while: [Please eat! But I'm going to record a variety show soon, so please invite me tomorrow, okay? have time?]
[Okay, got it]
[Um!]
After turning off the phone, Guan Zhiyi looked out of the window, the corner of her smiling mouth was reflected on the window, the kind that couldn't be restrained no matter how hard she tried.
"I think this situation is chasing you" - this sentence suddenly popped out in my mind.
Guan Zhi hesitated slightly, reached out and patted his cheek in fear.
Although... She knew that Liu Yun said this sentence out of delusion, and she also knew that it was absolutely impossible. But for some reason, when she thought of these words, her heart felt a thrilling tremor.
**
The day after tomorrow I'm leaving for "Get Out, Fat!" 》, Guan Zhiyi packed her luggage early.
After tidying up, she quickly put on her makeup and was about to set off for dinner with Qi Chengyan.
Probably because he knew she couldn't drive, so Qi Chengyan went directly to the community to pick her up, and then went to the reserved restaurant together.
"I've eaten at this restaurant before, and it's very delicious." After arriving at the dining room, Guan Zhiyi introduced the menu to Qi Chengyan like a treasure, "This pepper chicken is a signature, and this beef is also... Well, the dessert is also very delicious , how about a copy?"
Qi Chengyan looked at her with a smile: "Yes."
"Um!"
"I heard you said yesterday that you were going to record a variety show?"
Guan Zhiyi: "That's right, I'm going to live with a few other artists, it's in an ancient town nearby, it's very convenient."
"I didn't hear you say you were going to record a variety show before."
"This one came a long time ago. Sister Yun said that this variety show might be a hit, and it would be good for me to go."
Qi Chengyan nodded and chatted, "Anyone."
"Teacher Hou Lu, Xiao Ran, Lin Jiaer..."
"Xiao Ran?"
Guan Zhiyi: "Well, he's very popular, you know him too, right? Have you seen his works or—"
"We met when we were abroad."
Guan Zhiyi: "Ah? What kind of understanding are you talking about?"
Qi Chengyan said: "Last year, the company had a product that he endorsed, and we got to know each other later."
"so."
…
While the two were chatting casually, the food was served.
But just after eating a few mouthfuls, Guan Zhiyi's cell phone rang suddenly. Because her mobile phone was placed on the table, Qi Chengyan also saw the person displayed on the screen—Hua Hongxi.
When Guan Zhiyi saw the name, she subconsciously glanced at Qi Chengyan, who saw the latter's eyes lightly, and asked her, "Why didn't you answer?"
"Ah? Oh!" Guan Zhiyi immediately picked up the phone and pressed the answer button, "Hello."
Hua Hongxi's voice quickly came out of the receiver: "Zhiyi~ are you free today? It seems that we should make an appointment, such as having a meal together, or..."
"Brother Cheng Yan and I are having dinner together!" Guan Zhiyi was afraid that Hua Hongxi would say something, and that Qi Chengyan who was sitting across from him could hear him, so he immediately reminded Hua Hongxi.
Hua Hongxi paused, and quickly realized: "Ah... then, next time! Cough, don't say I called you."
Guan Zhiyi: "..."
I knew it earlier, okay
"What did he say?" Qi Chengyan who was opposite asked.
Guan Zhiyi shook his head: "It's nothing, I just asked if I want to eat..."
Qi Chengyan stretched out his hand: "Give me the phone."
Guan Zhiyi looked up at him, a little reluctantly.
"give me."
"... Oh." Still dare not pass it over.
After Qi Chengyan took the phone, he said directly to the person on the other end: "Since you haven't eaten, come over to eat."
Hua Hongxi was taken aback: "No need bro, I actually have something to do..."
"come over."
Hua Hongxi: "..."
Qi Chengyan said in a deep voice, "Hua Hongxi, don't make me say it a second time."
"Come, come, can't I come?" Hua Hongxi scratched her hair on the other side of the phone, and said helplessly, "Send me the address..."
The author has something to say: Qi Chengyan: I want to see what kind of bullshit love you guys are talking about
