Chapter 262 Qian Xin
"President Qian, you came here early in the morning, what's the matter?"
Wen Lan looked at the man in the suit and Dai Weiwei, who was dressed in a low-profile down jacket, with a cold expression and said, "We still have to shoot. If you have something to say, say it quickly. Please don't affect our filming."
Facing Wen Lan's sharp gaze, Dai Weiwei's eyes flickered, not daring to look directly at him, she instinctively stepped back half a step, hiding her body behind Qian Xin.
Qian Xin, on the other hand, was not afraid of Wen Lan at all and just stood coldly to the side: "I told you, I am waiting for President Li to come, do whatever you need to do."
"Why are you looking for President Li?"
Wen Lan frowned slightly and squinted at Qian Xin: "If it's still about the previous matter, I already told you, replacing the second female lead was my decision and has nothing to do with President Li."
"Heh, Wen Lan, you're still so arrogant."
Upon hearing this, Qian Xin finally sneered and turned to look at the other's face: "I said I'm just here to find President Li, it has nothing to do with anything else, nor with anyone."
Saying that, he stared aggressively into Wen Lan's eyes, smirking coldly: "Also, without President Li, do you think you could have easily decided to replace the second female lead?"
Seeing the threat in the other's eyes, Wen Lan's face turned grim.
Before she could speak, Wang Huan, the assistant director beside her, was already angrily saying: "Qian Xin, what do you mean? Do you really think we're afraid of you?
We're in a law-abiding society, you can't just do whatever you want!"
"Wang Huan?"
Glancing at the man beside Wen Lan who was scolding him, Qian Xin raised his eyebrows slightly and chuckled: "Ha, why, after sticking with Wen Lan, you've become so bold?
Before, when you asked me to help, I remember you weren't this gutsy."
Upon hearing this, Wang Huan's expression changed slightly, and he retorted angrily and ashamedly: "After you helped, I compensated you. We're even now..."
"Director Wang, there's no point in talking to people like this."
Wen Lan said coldly, reaching out to show them the exit: "Sorry, you're not welcome here. Please leave quickly.
If this affects our filming work, I don't mind calling the police."
"Go ahead, call the police."
Qian Xin wasn't afraid of them at all and stood in place, not intending to leave.
On the contrary, Dai Weiwei saw more and more staff gathering around and couldn't help but gently tug at Qian Xin's clothes, whispering: "Brother Xin, maybe we should leave..."
"Do I need you to teach me what to do?"
Qian Xin glanced coldly at Dai Weiwei, who shivered slightly with fear and dared not speak further.
And Wen Lan saw that Qian Xin was determined to see Li Jing, her brow furrowed deeply, confused, but realized it couldn't be anything good.
After all, in the eyes of many in the crew, Yang Xiaoxiu replacing Dai Weiwei was pushed by Li Jing behind the scenes.
Li Jing and Qian Xin are known to be openly hostile.
So when Qian Xin stated he wanted to see Li Jing, everyone's first thought was that he was here to cause trouble.
The matter yesterday over the venue didn't work, so today he plans to show up in person.
Just as Qian Xin and Wen Lan were confronting each other, Li Jing was led by Yang Xiaoxiu towards the crowd.
"Brother Jing, that person seems to be here to cause trouble. Are you sure you want to..."
"It's alright."
Seeing Yang Xiaoxiu worried about him, Li Jing smiled interrupting her: "In broad daylight, what can he possibly do to me?
Don't worry, I'm not that easy to bully."
Seeing the confidence and calmness on Li Jing's face, Yang Xiaoxiu nodded slightly, helping him get into the crowd more easily.
"President Li?"
"President Li is here."
As soon as Li Jing appeared on the scene, an observant person spotted him and immediately nudged the person next to them, causing more people to notice Li Jing.
Soon, everyone noticed Li Jing.
Wen Lan and Qian Xin were no exception, both changing their expressions.
Wen Lan, being closer to Li Jing, was slightly surprised and immediately walked over, her expression serious, quickly whispering:
"Why did you come? Qian Xin is here to cause trouble, don't engage with him, just avoid him first..."
"President Li!"
Before Wen Lan could finish her sentence, a hearty voice behind her interrupted.
Soon, Qian Xin was all smiles, as if greeting an old friend, he quickly stepped forward, warmly saying: "President Li, you finally came."
Seeing Qian Xin's cheerful and excited demeanor, Li Jing paused.
Wen Lan, Wang Huan, and others were also stunned in place, momentarily unable to react.
But Qian Xin had no intention of paying attention to everyone's gaze, and continued to warmly speak to Li Jing: "There was a small misunderstanding before, so I'm here today specifically to apologize.
My friend opened a tea house, if President Li has time, would you like to go together now?"
"Apology?"
Li Jing was puzzled, looking at the other's face full of smiles: "I have no interactions with you, what are you apologizing for?"
"Wasn't there a rumor in the crew that we had a conflict because of Weiwei's role? Actually, it was all a misunderstanding."
Qian Xin explained with a smile: "I came over this time just to explain face-to-face, Weiwei indeed needs to improve her acting, this role is more suitable for Xiaoxiu."
Saying that, he turned his gaze to Yang Xiaoxiu, inviting: "And if there are suitable roles in the future, Xiaoxiu is very welcome to try them."
Faced with this sudden invitation, Yang Xiaoxiu was full of surprise, glanced at Li Jing beside her, and quietly said: "I, I will listen to Brother Jing."
Upon hearing this, a glimmer of color flashed in Qian Xin's eyes, his smile even brighter: "Yes, President Li definitely has a better eye. We also hope to have more cooperation with President Li in the future."
Seeing the genuine sincerity in the other, Li Jing frowned slightly, knowing there must be a reason for his change in attitude.
After thinking about all possibilities, the only reason seemed to be yesterday's matter.
Could it be that he knows about my relationship with Liu Huaming?
If it truly is because of this, his ability to change face so quickly is impressive. No wonder many say he is a savvy old hand in this industry.
Understanding this, Li Jing calmly spoke: "I won't go to the tea house, I still have filming today."
Qian Xin, who already guessed he would be rejected, did not lose his smile, took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to him: "President Li, the fact that we get to know each other is a fate, here is my business card, let's make a friend and we can cooperate in the future."
After saying that, knowing he wasn't welcome here, Qian Xin smiled squinting, bid farewell to Li Jing and Yang Xiaoxiu, then turned decisively to leave.
And the crew members watched the whole interaction, were dumbfounded, somewhat unable to figure out the situation.
"So Qian Xin came to see President Li, just to apologize?"
"This was more than an apology, it was practically a proactive show of weakness seeking peace. Didn't you hear that he even downplayed Dai Weiwei and praised Yang Xiaoxiu."
"I don't get it, the world of bosses really isn't something we ordinary people can grasp..."
"What's difficult to understand? Someone like Qian Xin who bullies the weak and fears the strong obviously realized President Li's prowess.
But for him to come in person early in the morning to apologize and make peace, President Li's strength is likely not as simple as we imagined..."
