Chapter 3: Chapter 3 Ex-Boyfriend
"What on earth is going on with you? I heard you brought a woman back to the hotel last night?"
"Ha, so, Qian Li, is this why you had your friends squeeze me out? Didn't we agree that work is work and personal is personal? Are you still thinking about me, so unwilling to let go that you have to mess with my work life too?"
Qian Li looked at Zhou Mubai, and the last trace of expression on her face suddenly vanished.
Zhou Mubai was the hottest artist under her management. He entered the industry through a talent show and acted in a few dramas, none of which were particularly successful. Suddenly two years ago, he took a role in an ancient drama series and became an overnight sensation. It was then that he finally made a name for himself in the entertainment industry.
Back then, as they spent days and nights together, their feelings for each other slowly developed. However, she hadn't expected that after one event, she would catch him in the act of cheating...
Later, Fang Zongli helped dig up some dirt on him, only to discover that he had seven or eight girlfriends on the side.
A true modern master of time management.
As Qian Li stared at this man she once trusted, who now looked down on her with such superiority, she let out a derisive laugh, "Rest assured, fighting with you is like fighting with money. I'm just reminding you. It's clearly stated in the company's contract. If you let personal issues delay endorsements, it would be a breach of contract. If you want to fool around with women, keep it discreet, don't let it hit the headlines of today's news."
She gritted her teeth and poked his arm, then turned and went straight into the interview room.
As she lifted her head, she felt dizzy, closed her eyes forcefully, took a deep breath, and mustered the courage to open them again.
Sitting inside, ready to be interviewed with Zhou Mubai, was Pei Jinxi...
"What's the matter, why aren't you going inside?" Zhou Mubai entered and looked at Qian Li strangely.
Might as well be dead.
Panic flashed across Qian Li's face as she covered her head and walked inside, settling down at the back.
In front of her, a face with a playful smile looked over. She dared not lift her head but still felt the piercing gaze, hot like spotlight, making her cheeks burn and giving her the strange sensation of being caught stealing a glance.
Zhou Mubai turned his head and felt that she seemed a bit odd.
"Both of you, please take a seat and we can start the interview."
The reporter in front was already prepared.
"Jinxi, Mu Bai, both of you are sought-after stars right now. At this Star Moon Awards, both of you won quite a few awards. I wonder if there's any chance of you two collaborating? Many fans online are really looking forward to it."
Zhou Mubai, in front of the camera, smiled humbly while glancing at Pei Jinxi, "Of course, if there's an opportunity, I hope we can collaborate. Although I am older than Mr. Pei, he should still be considered my senior. After all, I grew up watching his dramas."
Pei Jinxi curled his rose-colored lips, leaned back on the light grey sofa, crossed one leg over the other, appearing lazy and unconstrained.
Without comparison, there is no harm. The age gap, at this moment, truly came into stark light. Pei Jinxi who was only 20 years old, with a face that didn't need any touch-ups to show its collagen-filled vitality, delicate phoenix eyes gently upturned at the corners, along with a softly contoured face, looked incredibly wicked yet somewhat halo-touched eyes softened his mischief, making him look as sunny as a young boy.
Next to him, Zhou Mubai really looked like what Fang Zongli had described, just like an old eggplant beaten by frost.
