Chapter 408: Chapter 407: I Have No Regrets (6)
His palm, even more delicate than Bo Yan’s, was smooth except for a slight callous on the fingertips from frequent typing, unlike Bo Yan, who often practiced Sanda.
Xia Siyu paused for a mont, Qin Baizhou also frowned, “You don’t have a fever, do you?”
“No, it’s just a tonsil inflammation affecting my vocal cords, it’s not serious, I’ve already taken so cold dicine.”
Xia Siyu took a step back. Just for that instant, it seed as if Qin Baizhou almost wanted to press his forehead against hers.
In the past, Xia Siyu really was so thick-skinned and slow to notice Qin Baizhou’s fondness for her. It was only after Bo Yan’s various flirtations with her that she began to catch on, even if just a little.
But she only slightly increased the distance between them and didn’t overthink it.
She and Qin Baizhou had always been really good friends and partners.
She didn’t want to lose this friend.
Qin Baizhou could sense her slight resistance and didn’t pursue it further, instead smiling and pretending ignorance, “Cold dicines shouldn’t be taken lightly, especially antibiotics. dicines have their toxins, so next ti you catch a cold, see a doctor first. The company has its own designated physicians.”
Xia Siyu nodded, “I understand.”
While discussing business, they sohow started talking about “Spring Light”. Now that Xia Siyu was determined to sign the contract, there was no pulling her back, but Qin Baizhou had one condition, “I’d like to attend the script reading for this drama. If this film is as important as you say and worth six months of preparation, then I should go and learn too.”
Xia Siyu’s expression turned serious in an instant when it ca to work and movies, “Of course. I think it’s very important to improve acting skills and expand the range of roles. The audience isn’t foolish and aren’t easily deceived. In the past, you could get by with just any popular na; as long as there were fans, the box office would be there, no matter how poor the acting. But now, the audience’s aesthetic standards are increasing, as are their demands for quality. If we don’t improve our acting, the only possibility is being outdated. I don’t want to wait until I’m past my pri to start thinking about transitioning. It’s of course better to be prepared.”
The bet with Shang Feifei was her personal issue. Neither Bo Yan nor Qin Baizhou needed to know.
Seeing how earnest she was, Qin Baizhou no longer objected, “Then do your best, and strive to be the best. Oh, right, about the extension contract I showed you last ti…”
When Xia Siyu had originally signed with Huixing Company, it was the lowest point in her life. She was maliciously slandered by her rivals, suppressed by industry bigwigs for refusing to engage in their unspoken rules, berated by people like Jiang Bui, condemned by netizens, torn apart by haters, and her forr talent agency had taken a hands-off approach to her stagnation due to unsuccessful contract negotiations. Public relations? Nonexistent.
But even so, she was the biggest star for the newly established Huixing at the ti.
Talent agencies usually provide contracts a year in advance. The last ti Qin Baizhou suggested a renewal was three months ago, during her filming of “Storm”. Her contract with the company had less than a year left.
Whether to stay or go, the choice was up to Xia Siyu.
Qin Baizhou was good to her, promoting her, and the company’s resources were tilted in her favor, she knew that well. She never skimped on the commission for her staff, always generous.
The only conflict was the path she would take in her future career developnt.
