Chapter 81: Getting into a Dispute (2)
Translator: Sissy That Walk
It was quite surprising that Di Qiuhe should learn to act like a good boy. He Bai’s face turned less clouded. He flipped through those texts and forgave the guy for his smugness yesterday, typing to ask: What are you going to do with it?
Di Qiuhe: Report to my father accurately, letting them fight like cat and dog.
Recalling the chaotic situation in his family, He Bai frowned and replied: Remember not to put yourself into trouble.
Di Qiuhe: Don’t worry. I can handle it.
Entertainment company as it was, Huangdu sat its foot in some hot lucrative industries, such as real estate of C Province, which was a gold mine they had been coveting. The business plans Di Bian gave Di Qiuhe were about programs that Qin family strongly supported in Huangdu, and the reason behind lied in the fact that Di Bian hoped Di Qiuhe could ruin those programs at the right opportunity so that Qin family had little say in how Huangdu was run
It was obvious that Di Bian resolved to drive Qin family out of Huangdu despite the cost, in which his dissatisfaction with Qin family was fairly manifested.
And now, Qin Li who was supposed to take a holiday with his daughter abroad actually appeared at the airport of C Province without Di Bian’s permission, and Qin’s staffers seemed to follow her, which deserved rumination.
Considering that Qin family hoped to form a matrimonial alliance with Liu family recently, Di Qiuhe made an informed guess: Qin Li was quite dissatisfied with Di Bian, so her calculations changed accordingly. Previously, she made every effort to push Di Qiuhe aside so that she could achieve compete dominance in Huangdu and they four could live a happy life. However, she now aimed at appropriating Di’s belongings to back Qin family, involving Qin family in entertainment business by means of matrimonial tie to compete against Huangdu, and finally living a happy life with her two children.
That was to say, Qin Li excluded Di Bian from her future planning and saw he as an enemy now.
“Does he work for Qin Mingqiang?” Di Qiuhe pointed at the man in the corner of the photo who stood five meters away from Qin Li and asked Assistant An.
“Definitely, he…” An Xixi cast a sidelong glance at Wang Boyi, biting her lip and replying, “He’s my ex-boyfriend’s uncle. Although he holds a rather lowly position in Qin’s Company, the man was in fact a trusted subordinate of Elder Master Qin.”
Her words brought no reaction from Wang Boyi, who stayed calm and didn’t seem to care her former cheating. “Your ex-boyfriend appeared to have every confidence in you by telling you this.” Di Qiuhe tapped the photo and paid no heed to An Xixi who went stiff with embarrassment. Then he looked at Wang Boyi and said, “Go to tell my father that I’ve received a photo on which there occurred Qin Li, and you caught sight of her accidentally.”
“Yes, Master Di.” Wang Boyi complied respectfully.
Seeing Wang Boyi even hated the sight of her, An Xixi bowed her head, dejected.
After two assistants left, Di Qiuhe picked up his phone, found out a number he hadn’t rung for a long time and dialed it.
“Hello, who’s speaking?” A husky, gravelly male voice came.
“It’s me, Uncle Ke.” Di Qiuhe walked to the window and went straight to the point, “Strife between Huangdu and Qin family has begun. It’s high time Huading had its day by targeting the real estate of C Province.”
After a brief silence, an infectious laughter came, “Awesome! I can’t imagine this day will come so soon. Qiuhe, you’re much more determined and industrious than I expected.”
“No,” Di Qiuhe looked back at the golden dog on the table which was seemingly one of the pair with that he gave He Bai and flashed a smile, “I’m just luckier than you expected.”
By late September, He Bai almost finished his work at Jun Chen’s Studio.
“You’ve had a long tiring month.” Jun Chen poured He Bai a cup of scented tea and reclined in a rattan chair. Bathed in the afternoon sun, his arresting appearance seemed not so striking as before. Instead, there occurred an air of fairyism on him. “There’s only one MV cover left. Time flies, doesn’t it?”
Since the trip to C Province, the two struck up a friendship and talked more openly.
“Do you think I won’t ask you for a red packet when you say so?” teased He Bai. He rubbed his shoulders, took a sip of the tea and heaved a sigh of relief, asking, “Why I haven’t seen Xu Ying these days? Where did he go?
Speaking of this man, Jun Chen became grim-faced and turned his head, replying coldly, “He went somewhere to take pictures.”
“Take pictures?” He Bai got puzzled and sounded him out after a brief silence, “Has he had a new target?”
“Yes,” Jun Chen answered with no emotion, “He’s bound to leave here sooner or later, thus necessarily finding another way out. Maybe it’s good for both of us, for his ideal life is nothing more than to take photos he likes and hold lively photo exhibitions, while the boring and regular shooting work here will surely get him bored, which I’m not glad to see. How about you? Would you like to join my studio and succeed him as my exclusive photographer?”
Having worked together with Jun Chen for these days, He Bai found that he was the sort of person who seemed difficult to get along with but in fact cherished friendships greatly. Aware that Jun Chen was only kidding, He Bai smiled and shook his head, replying, “No, thanks. I like to photograph different people, so it’s unlikely for me to stay at a regular place and shoot one person only.”
Jun Chen cracked a faint smile and sighed, “You two are quite alike in your disposition—both unwilling to shoot only one person… Well, it’s not a bad thing. At least, we can keep a feeling of freshness for each other and have cooperation later.”
Hearing his words, He Bai cast a sidelong glance at him and shifted the topic, “Is the pet model for tomorrow’s MV ready? I hope it isn’t a big dog which is difficult to get along with, in case neither the director nor I could handle it.”
“Yes, it’s ready.” Jun Chen took a mouthful of tea and added, “You may rest assured that it’s a docile dog which has shooting experience. So you’ll have no problem in taking photos of it. By the way, could you give me a hand to create some hype for the album?”
He Bai paused and then asked with puzzlement, “How? What can I do for you?”
Jun Chen raised his eyebrows and said smilingly, “I heard that you were vilified on the Internet a few days ago. Although you clarified what the truth was, things that happened between you and your former company were dug up, which flooded our screen for many days. Would you mind me, a has-been singer, creating some hype for my album with the aid of your popularity?”
He Bai was amused and answered, “Definitely not. Just do whatever you want.”
Based on his place in the entertainment world, there’s no need for Jun Chen to ride on He Bai’s coattail. Instead, he intended to take the opportunity to help clarify why He Bai skipped class that day. In addition, it would inevitably raise He Bai’s profile in the entertainment industry and pave the way for his future development!
