Chapter 270 Theme Competition: The President's Sunny Day (2)
Chapter 270 Theme Competition: The President's Sunny Day (2)
Qi breathed a sigh of relief. This script wasn't dangerous, but it was very tedious. It would be better to let him fight monsters instead.
Whether it's Xia Qingtian, who is favored by heaven, or Qin Ruo, who has maximum charm, they are both very unpleasant to be around.
Everyone is trying to live a good life, but some people can always be self-centered and are so lucky that it makes people a little envious.
Shi Qi now sees Leng Lingfeng going to the Fu Group every day, under the guise of discussing work, to see Xia Qingtian.
Anyone with eyes can see that Leng Lingfeng likes Xia Qingtian, but the female lead refuses to admit it, thinking he's just there to cause her trouble.
"Fine," Shi Qi rubbed his face, not caring. He just had to wait.
Anyway, he should have lost the right to be the male lead in Xia Qingtian's story. The plot hasn't been trying to force the two of them together lately.
After all, he not only treated the female lead badly and trampled on her dignity, but he also demanded that she repay the money.
Just kidding, which female lead has ever paid back money to the male lead?
Shi Qi maintains her Bking persona, always wearing a deadpan expression, but she's actually in a great mood.
It was so good that Qin Ruo sensed something was wrong.
Fu Jinghuan's official love interest is about to be stolen by someone else, but the actor who plays this role doesn't seem worried at all. Does he not want to win?
Qin Ruo had already confirmed that Shi Qi was a contestant, but seeing this made her uncertain again, so she probed privately.
“Jing Huan, Xia Qingtian has been getting close to Leng Lingfeng lately, and she might be chased away at any time.”
"You're quite the gossip. Instead of worrying about other people's relationship problems, you should do more work."
Shi Qi acted as if nothing was wrong, and even handed Qin Ruo a thick stack of documents, telling her to get to work first.
...Qin Ruo's expression was rather unpleasant. Who wants to see her constantly processing documents? Don't people prefer to watch sweet romance?
"Don't you like Xia Qingtian anymore? Miss Fu has run away too, why don't you like me?" Qin Ruo's voice was so sweet it could drip water.
Shi Qi swallowed hard. Damn it, here we go again: "Why do I have to like someone?"
Qin Ruo pursed her lips, her words carrying a hidden meaning: "If you're not going to date, what are you doing here?"
The script was designed to be a sweet romance.
Shi Qi ignored her and prepared to leave work. Qin Ruo tried to take his arm, but he dodged her.
"Aren't we engaged? It's just holding hands, there's nothing wrong with that, right?" Qin Ruo pouted and acted coquettishly, a little unhappy.
"Oh, it's not like that anymore. I had some free time recently, so I took care of it." Shi Qi reminded him expressionlessly.
"What?" Qin Ruo's expression turned somewhat unpleasant; she hadn't received the message.
She felt embarrassed thinking about the promises she had made to her parents and relatives in the script, even if they were just numbers.
"In exchange for the termination of the cooperation with Jufeng Group, I traded a cooperation deal for a marriage alliance with you," Shi Qi explained good-naturedly.
Leng Lingfeng and Xia Qingtian are no longer suitable partners now that they've gotten together.
When the Qin family saw that Shi Qi did not want to marry Qin Ruo, they readily chose a contract that could be fulfilled immediately. For this reason, the Fu Group made some concessions.
Leng Lingfeng's mind is now entirely focused on Xia Qingtian, and he has no time to care about company matters.
Qin Ruo's status in the Qin family is similar to that of Fu Yunxiang; she is merely a pawn in a marriage alliance, and she hasn't even received news of the annulment of the engagement.
Shi Qi solved two things in one go.
Qin Ruo's expression was one of deep disappointment, her eyes filled with accusation: "Fu Jinghuan, do you think that just because I like you, you can trample on me at will?"
Shi Qi didn't miss the momentary ferocity on the other person's face this time: "I didn't think that way. It's disrespectful to keep someone hanging on if you don't like them."
Just like what Gong Ye did to Fu Yunxiang, he clearly loved An Zhi, but he kept talking about marrying Fu Yunxiang.
Moreover, Shi Qi couldn't sense even a trace of love from Qin Ruo towards her.
It's just a competition, how can it turn into all this messy stuff of "you love me, I love him, he doesn't love me, he loves her"?
Even without Gu Shijiu, who would fall in love with their colleague?
These days, who doesn't think their colleague is a complete idiot, especially when that colleague is a competitor?
Shi Qi couldn't understand why the actress playing Qin Ruo was so tirelessly trying to obtain so-called love.
Seeing that the man opposite her remained completely unmoved, Qin Ruo was almost furious and suddenly overturned the coffee table in front of her.
Shi Qi watched as the marble coffee table, weighing over a hundred pounds, was easily lifted, without even lifting an eyelid. Was he going to get a beating from him?
"Go on, keep talking!" Qin Ruo bared her teeth fiercely, and to be honest, she was much cuter than when she was trying to portray a certain persona.
Shi Qi had a strange feeling that if Gu Shijiu were here, she might really not be able to resist giving him a little pat: "I have nothing to say to you."
Qin Ruo's tears fell in a steady stream: "Waaah, you're such a bad guy."
She rushed over, crying, trying to hug Shi Qi, but he dodged her.
She managed to dodge the tears, but she couldn't escape them. Qin Ruo burst into tears, and a few tears landed on Shi Qi.
A wave of indescribable sadness washed over Shi Qi, and her heart felt as if it were being squeezed by someone, causing her great pain.
Is he about to have a heart attack?
Shi Qi quickly moved five steps away from Qin Ruo and indeed felt a little more comfortable.
"Why do you always push me away?" Qin Ruo looked up, her face like a lotus leaf covered in dew, evoking pity.
What a bewitching woman! Shi Qi thought to herself, it seemed that this ethereal immortal realm was not all peaceful; there was still danger.
"No matter what, I will not love you," Shi Qi emphasized.
Qin Ruo's eyes were full of confusion: "Is it because I'm not charming enough?"
"You are the most charming woman I have ever met," Shi Qi said truthfully.
"Is it because of that Miss Fu?" Qin Ruo lowered her head, a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes.
"I wouldn't like you even without her. Nobody wants their emotions to be controlled by someone else."
Shi Qi stopped short of making a point, not wanting the other party to treat her like a fool anymore.
"I truly like you." Qin Ruo wasn't entirely lying; she had never met a man who was completely unaffected by her charms.
“Sincerity can naturally be reciprocated, but... do you have it?” Shi Qi said expressionlessly, trying to stay away from the fragrance emanating from Qin Ruo.
The real purpose is revealed.
Despite her best efforts, Qin Ruo failed to achieve the desired result and left dejectedly.
Since she couldn't achieve her goal of dating the male lead, as a top-tier romance drama actress, she should find another partner.
"Hey—" Shi Qi suddenly exclaimed.
Qin Ruo turned around, a hint of expectation in her eyes.
"This is such a heavy thing, could you please lift it up and put it back?" Shi Qi pointed to the overturned marble coffee table.
"Hmph! You can pay someone to move it yourself." Qin Ruo turned her head and angrily stomped away in her high heels.
