Chapter 131 Secret Arrival
The next day, Fu Yibai left his residence and returned to the company.
As for Dong Xuan and the other two women, he made no promises and had no obligation to make any promises.
Late August 2005, Beijing.
The box office phenomenon of "Inception" continues.
As of August 20, the cumulative domestic box office has exceeded 400 million yuan, and the global box office has exceeded 700 million US dollars.
Fu Yibai's name has changed from "a rising star director in China" to "an internationally renowned director".
As a result, Morning Light Media's stock price has soared – although it is not listed, the industry's valuation of the company has risen from 300 million at the beginning of the year to 600 million now.
8 month 22 day.
Fu Yibai sat in his office, flipping through the quarterly reports sent by various departments.
Liu Yan pushed open the door and came in, carrying a coffee in her hand and a smile on her face.
"Mr. Fu, Yang Mi is here."
Fu Yibai raised his head.
"Let her in."
Liu Yan stepped aside, and Yang Mi walked in from outside the door.
Today she wore a simple white shirt with denim shorts, her long hair was loose over her shoulders, and she wore light makeup. She looked a bit more mature than she did a few months ago, but her eyes still had that cleverness that was unique to young girls.
"Yi Bai."
She stood at the doorway, her eyes crinkling into a smile.
Fu Yibai stood up, walked around the desk, and gestured for her to sit on the sofa in the reception area.
"sit."
Liu Yan brought in two cups of tea, then left, closing the door behind her.
The office fell silent.
Yang Mi sat on the sofa, holding a teacup in both hands, her gaze fixed on his face for several seconds.
"What are you looking at?"
"Look at you."
Yang Mi blinked.
"Haven't seen you for months, you seem to have gotten even more handsome."
Fu Yibai leaned back on the sofa, looking at her.
"How's the contract termination going?"
Yang Mi put down her teacup, her smile fading slightly, replaced by a more serious expression.
"That's what I wanted to tell you today."
She paused, then took a deep breath.
"I terminated my contract."
Fu Yibai raised an eyebrow.
"Did they give you any trouble over there?"
"I'm in a difficult position."
Yang Mi nodded, her tone calm.
"Fortunately, I'm not very famous or valuable right now. After I paid the penalty for breach of contract, Mr. Li let me leave."
"So what's your plan now?"
Yang Mi moved closer to him.
"Yi Bai, I want to sign in at Dawn."
She spoke very directly, without any pretense.
"This is what we agreed on beforehand, you won't go back on your word, will you?"
Fu Yibai put down his teacup and looked at her.
"Have you thought it through?"
"I've thought it through very clearly."
Yang Mi nodded, her fingers clenching and unclenching.
"I know that Chenxi doesn't lack artists now; Sister Qin Lan and the others have all risen to prominence."
But I'm no worse than them.
If you give me a chance, I'm sure I can seize it.
Fu Yibai remained silent for two seconds.
"OK."
Yang Mi was stunned for a moment, then a smile bloomed on her face.
"real?"
"Um."
Fu Yibai leaned back on the sofa, looking at her.
"I'll talk to Lin Wei. Come over tomorrow to complete the formalities."
Yang Mi stood up, threw herself into his arms, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him hard on the cheek.
"Thank you, Yibai!"
Fu Yibai put his arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him.
"Don't be too happy yet. Signing them up is just the beginning. There's still a long road ahead."
"I know."
Yang Mi nodded.
"I will work hard and I definitely won't let you down."
"Since you've worked so hard, I can't just leave without showing my appreciation."
"So, when you go to Ms. Lin to sign the contract, tell her that I'm entrusting the female lead role in 'Brotherhood of Blades' to you."
"Brotherhood of Blades?"
"Well, consider the martial arts movie the company is planning to make this year as a signing gift for you."
Yang Mi was stunned.
She never expected that she would be able to act in a movie so soon after signing the contract.
"Brotherhood of Blades?"
She repeated the name, her voice slightly unsteady.
"Martial arts movies?"
"Um."
Fu Yibai leaned back on the sofa, looking at her.
Director Lu Yang is a key new talent that the company is focusing on developing this year.
The script is good.
The female lead's role was decent, offering room for her to shine.
Yang Mi was stunned for a moment, then wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him passionately.
The kiss was long, carrying emotions that had been suppressed for a long time, lingering and burning.
It's unclear how much time passed before the two finally parted ways.
Yang Mi buried her face in the crook of his neck, her breathing erratic, her chest heaving violently.
"Yi Bai..."
"Um?"
"I...I'm so happy."
Her voice was muffled, with a slight tremor.
Fu Yibai gently stroked her back with his palm without saying a word.
Yang Mi raised her head and looked at him, her eyes filled with spring water and her cheeks flushed.
"Could you... come to my place tonight?"
She asked very directly, but her face turned even redder after she finished speaking.
Fu Yibai looked at her, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"So urgent?"
Yang Mi nodded, then shook her head, and finally buried her face back in his chest.
"I just... want to spend more time with you."
She paused, then lowered her voice.
"If you're busy, that's fine, we can do it another day..."
"fine."
Fu Yibai interrupted her.
"I'm coming to your place tonight."
Yang Mi looked up, her eyes instantly lighting up.
"real?"
"Um."
Yang Mi smiled, her eyes crinkling, and gave him a deep kiss on the lips.
"Then I'll wait for you."
She got up from his embrace, tidied her slightly messy hair and clothes, took a deep breath, and tried to look normal.
"Then... I'll go find President Lin first."
I'll send you the address tonight.
Fu Yibai nodded and stood up.
Yang Mi walked to the door, then looked back at him, unable to hide the smile on her lips.
"Yi Bai, thank you."
After she finished speaking, she opened the door and went out.
The door closed, and the office fell silent.
