Huh? Are villainous bosses this easy to flirt with?

Chapter 61 Hundreds of Millions

Watching Wen Xuan walk away, Xiang Yiting turned her head to look at Xie Qing and nudged his arm with her elbow. "You should at least be a little more tactful. Judging from his expression, it seems like he was hurt by your ruthless rejection just now."

She looked in the direction Wen Xuan had gone back and shook her head with a 'tsk tsk'.

Whether he is sad or not is none of my business.

Xie Qing exhaled a breath of stale air, put on her mask, and said to her manager, "Sister Ting, let's go! Back to the hotel. You've been driving for so long today, so get some rest when you get back."

Upon arriving at the hotel, Xie Qing took a shower, changed into her pajamas, and sat on the soft bed, intently studying the script and memorizing her lines.

The phone vibrated abruptly, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly pulling him back from his immersion in the script.

Xie Qing reached for her phone and answered the video call.

Huo Yunting's handsome face immediately appeared in the center of the screen, but at this moment he had a long face and a cold expression, looking like he was not very happy.

"Huo Da... cough cough, Tingting, what's wrong now? Who upset you?"

Xie Qing coughed twice, swallowing back the "Miss Huo" that was about to slip out.

That was close; Huo Yunting almost found out he had given him a nickname.

"you caught a cold?"

His usually stern face softened with worry, and a deep voice came through the phone, tinged with tension.

Xie Qing shook her head repeatedly, "No, I just choked on my own saliva."

He lay lazily on the bed, like a contented little fox.

Two long, slender legs swung casually in the air, exuding a nonchalant ease.

At that moment, the room lights shone on him, outlining his soft features, making him look like an angel radiating light.

When Huo Yunting saw this scene, his displeasure vanished instantly, replaced by a deep longing for the person before him.

Even though the other person had only been gone for a few hours, the moment his eyes fell on Xie Qing, he still couldn't help but want to touch him and hug him.

Huo Yunting couldn't help but sigh inwardly, realizing that he was truly hopeless.

Xie Qing slightly raised her eyes, looked at Huo Yunting on the screen, and smiled, "Tell me, why are you unhappy?"

"Qingqing arrived, why didn't you call me to let me know? I was very worried about you."

The worry in Huo Yunting's deep eyes seemed to overflow.

Xie Qing immediately explained, "I just thought you were asleep and didn't want to disturb you."

His tone was soft, as if he were pleading, making it impossible for anyone to get angry.

After a while, Xie Qing widened her eyes and asked, "You weren't waiting for my call, were you?!"

Huo Yunting didn't speak, but Xie Qing knew that this meant he acquiesced.

Xie Qing felt like she really deserved to die!

How could we let Huo Yunting, with his extremely sensitive skin, overthink things for so long?

What's wrong with calling back myself?

"Does Qingqing think I'm being too nosy? Does it bother you?"

Huo Yunting's tactic of feigning retreat made Xie Qing feel an overwhelming sense of guilt, and she immediately retorted, "No, of course you can interfere in my affairs, I won't find it bothersome."

Upon hearing the answer he wanted, his eyes, as black and deep as obsidian, gleamed with an excited yet slightly eerie light.

Xie Qing noticed it was late, turned off the light, and got into bed, but didn't put her phone down.

He yawned, tears welling in his eyes, looking exhausted, after all, it was almost 2 a.m.

"If you're feeling tired, go to sleep first."

Huo Yunting's gentle voice came through.

Xie Qing's eyes were already closed. Upon hearing this, she retorted, "So, are you happy now?"

The sound was very soft, like a breath coming from the throat.

After saying this, his breathing gradually calmed down, and he fell into a deep sleep.

Huo Yunting, on the other end of the phone screen, looked at Xie Qing's peaceful sleeping face, his heart filled with tenderness.

He murmured softly, "Gently, I'm so happy..."

I'm so happy...

Meanwhile, on the other side of the film set, Lu Sang was directing a scene when he suddenly received a phone call from an unknown number.

He hung up abruptly, and just as he was about to continue working, the phone rang again.

Lu Sang had the assistant director watch over things while he found a quiet place to answer the phone.

……

Half an hour had passed since that phone call, but Lu Sang was still not recovered from what he had heard.

A man leaned against the wall, smoking silently, his mind filled with the "ten billion" the other man had just mentioned.

Jiangnan saw Lu Sang smoking alone in a corner, so he sneaked over and patted him hard on the shoulder.

"What are you doing? Why aren't you directing the film? Why are you smoking here?"

Lu Sang was jolted back to reality by this, took a deep drag on his nearly burnt-out cigarette, and said, "Someone's brought us money."

Jiangnan Nan: "?"

"Invest one billion."

Jiangnan Nan: "!"

Jiang Nan's pupils dilated, and his voice suddenly rose, "How much?"

Hearing the commotion, the people around all turned their heads to look in this direction.

Seeing that the two were just talking, everyone turned their heads away again.

Lu Sang: "Calm down and keep your voice down."

Jiang Nannan lowered her hand from her mouth, her face full of excitement, "Tell me in detail."

"There was a person who claimed to be the assistant to the president of the Huo Group. He said that their president was very optimistic about the drama I directed and wanted to invest 1 billion yuan in our production team. That's roughly the gist of it."

Jiang Nannan, who is usually very talkative, was now a little stammering, "Is...is it the...Huo Group that I'm thinking of?"

Lu Sang stroked his chin and pondered, "To be so generous, there's no doubt about it."

"Then what are you hesitating for? Agree!"

Lu Sang sighed, "Do you remember how Shi Qi got in? He was pushed in by the investors. What if the Huo Group president puts in another person like that? Will this show even be able to continue?"

Jiangnan slapped him on the head and cursed, "I really don't know how my brother fell for you. You have a terrible temper and you can't even think straight."

Lu Sang: Hey, that's a personal attack!

"Think about it, that billion is more than enough for us to finish filming the whole thing. Do you think that investor who sent Shi Qi can threaten you? If Shi Qi causes trouble on set again next time, just tell him to pack his bags and leave."

"As for whether the president of Huo's Group will try to bribe someone, did that assistant mention this on the phone just now?"

Lu Sang shook his head.

"Then it's highly unlikely. Of course, if my guess is wrong, then I'll have to trouble you."

Anyway, it's not like she directed the film!

Lu Sang: Isn't his life a life too?

In the end, Lu Sang accepted the investment.

Lu Sang said, "Why not take it if it's free? It's all money!"

Now, the Huo Group has become the largest investor in the "Breaking the Sky" production team.

They snagged a super-rich client.
