Chapter 26.2

At that time, Su Qian was hugging Blueberry and lying in Jin Lie’s study. Jin Lie was reading a book, and she and Blueberry were piecing together a puzzle on the floor.

The phone call came at this time.

Xu Ke’s growth rate was much faster than imagined, and her work ability was also getting stronger. She didn’t fall behind among the excellent agents in Star Path.

Just like in Xingcan, she now only manages one artist, Su Qian. Xu Ke first wished her a Happy New Year, and then asked Su Qian if she was interested in participating in a dance variety show during her few days of leisure.

“The next drama is still in preparation, and disappearing for too long can’t guarantee exposure, so I thought of letting you show your face.”

This program is a collaboration between Lychee TV and Star Path, and they invited several artists from their own company, as well as some popular stars.

Su Qian originally wanted to refuse, but Xu Ke’s next sentence completely dispelled her thoughts: “I have received reliable news that if you can’t agree, the program group should invite someone from Tiansheng.”

Tiansheng?

Zhou Bingyan?!

Su Qian sneered, “Tell them, I’ll do it!”

Anyone else is fine, but no one from Tiansheng can take anything away from her!

She and Zhou Bingyan will never reconcile in this lifetime. Never!

Jin Lie saw her angrily hang up the phone and raised an eyebrow, “A debt collector?”

Su Qian didn’t make a sound, and rolled her eyes at him. You just hope for some good news from me!

.

When she was young and her family was well-off, Su Qian was raised as a pearl in the palm. She was not proficient in all aspects of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, but she had a foundation.

Especially in dancing, she also won quite a few youth trophies.

The first episode of the program is a solo, which is not difficult for Su Qian. The second episode is relatively difficult for her because she drew Latin dance.

So every day when Jin Lie came back from work, he hardly saw Su Qian. When asked, she was practicing dance in the gym.

She ate dinner somewhat hastily, just thinking about practicing for a while after eating. He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Jin Lie found that she seemed to have lost weight these days.

There wasn’t much meat on her body to begin with.

“It’s just a variety show, it’s good enough.”

Su Qian pushed the chair away and stood up, “You may not believe it, but I never slack off at work. Besides, there’s a dance partner. If I don’t practice well, I’ll be dragging someone else down.”

Jin Lie paused slightly, raising his eyes, “Dance partner? A man?”

“Of course, I drew Latin dance.”

Hearing her words, Jin Lie’s eyelids also twitched.

Latin dance?!

Images had already started to appear in his mind.

Hmm, the feeling wasn’t too good.

Two days later, during the rehearsal, the director’s team invited several executives to be judges for the effect.

The participating artists began to perform one by one, and the expressions of the people on the judges’ seats varied.

As it was nearing the end, there was a sudden commotion at the door. Everyone in the room looked over, and Jin Lie walked in calmly and sat in the middle of the first row.

The producer was slightly taken aback and quickly stood up, “Mr. Jin, how do you have time to come?”

Jin Lie unbuttoned his suit, crossed his long legs naturally, and his sharp gaze swept across the stage, but he didn’t find the figure he wanted to see.

“I’m just free.”

Who would believe that this busy man really has nothing to do. If he condescends to come to the rehearsal scene, there must be some purpose or someone he wants to see.

But no one knows the purpose and the person, the producer is a little drumming in his heart for a while. This show won’t die in the womb, will it?!

Jin Lie withdrew his gaze and said indifferently, “Don’t mind me, continue.”

At his command, the rehearsal continued.

After three consecutive dances, Su Qian and her dance partner were the last to appear.

She had her hair in a bun, and her makeup was exquisite. The black Latin dance dress on her body sparkled under the magnesium light. As the music sounded, her hand was taken by her male partner.

Jin Lie’s gaze was fixed on the stage, and he forcefully twisted open the cap of the mineral water bottle.

Her body began to move with the rhythm of the music, the tassels were swung and flipped with it, making her figure more enchanting.

Su Qian made a leg-lifting movement, and the male dance partner held her waist.

A vein on Jin Lie’s forehead suddenly jumped. His Adam’s apple rolled, and he tugged at his tie as if he was having difficulty breathing.

The final pose was Su Qian bending down, and as the male partner held her and leaned in, their gazes met in the air, silently communicating and entwining.

The music stopped, and there was thunderous applause in the room. Jin Lie squeezed the mineral water bottle with a dark face.

The producer observed his expression carefully from beginning to end, and the more she looked, the more frightened she became.

She licked her lips nervously and asked softly, “Mr. Jin, what do you think?”

“The man dances too greasily, it’s an eyesore. It’s better to let the woman dance alone.”

The producer felt a headache coming on, “But… they are partners.”

“In that case.” Jin Lie turned his head expressionlessly, “Then what do you think about changing it to square dance?”

——

Of course, in the end, it wasn’t really changed to square dance. Because Su Qian knew about Jin Lie’s unreasonable and bizarre request, she gave him a lesson.

The education started with “Are you trying to lose money?” After all, as a businessman, who would hope not to make money?

But Jin Lie was unmoved after hearing this, “I don’t lack that little money.”

Su Qian was almost angry enough to blow her beard and stare, completely unaware of what was wrong with this man who suddenly cared about such a trivial matter.

But she knew that it wouldn’t work to be stubborn, so she had to reason with him, “I don’t want to dance the square dance, I can dance it when I get older. Besides, I’ve been practicing this dance for so long!”

“Square dance is not that complicated, it’s easy to learn.”

“I don’t want to!” Su Qian tugged at his sleeve, “Why do you have to dislike my show? Don’t you think I look beautiful on stage? I’m especially looking forward to the effect on TV.”

Jin Lie lowered his eyes and glanced at the few scallion-white fingers on his sleeve. His Adam’s apple moved slightly.

Isn’t it just because you’re too beautiful!

In the end, the program was carried out according to the original plan. After the broadcast in early March, the two episodes earned Su Qian a wave of popularity.

At the same time, a project frequently contacted Su Qian, wanting to invite her to be the female lead in the drama.

This project is an S-level project of Red Fruit Film and Television, with top-notch production and investment. Many people who knew the news were eyeing it. This includes Zhou Bingyan.

She has been busy recently, and it was not easy to suppress the negative news of the company. Just when she breathed a sigh of relief, she heard that Red Fruit had the intention to cooperate with Su Qian. She was immediately filled with rage.

The company has become like this because of her, isn’t it too unfair that she gets all the benefits?

After the last incident, Chu Piaopiao was already greatly injured and is now basically a helpless person. But Tiansheng has others besides her, and recently they have been promoting a popular female artist.

In the office, Zhou Bingyan sat in the boss’s chair in deep thought, with her fingertips tapping on the table.

After thinking for a long time, she finally made a call to Jin Lie.

Jin Lie refused the suggestion to have a meal, and told her to just say what she wanted. Zhou Bingyan’s breath hitched, and she took a step back, “I can’t explain in a few words, if you really don’t have time, can I come to your company to find you?”

Jin Lie paused slightly, “At 14.30 in the afternoon, I only have fifteen minutes.”

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Bingyan suddenly felt sad. Jin Lie’s current attitude towards her was just short of putting a barrier between them.

She really wanted to know, what kind of magic does that woman Su Qian have that can make Jin Lie so infatuated!
