2205 Twins
“When the time comes, he’ll be able to sell his image as a good father and ensure good box office results. That’ll be enough for him to stand tall in the industry for the rest of his life. As expected of a big director. His methods are really brilliant!”
Qiao Weiyang smiled. “Your opinion is the truth. Unfortunately, the people outside still like him.”
“Sister-in-law, there’s only a month left before the movie is released. What do you plan to do?” Lu Mingjue wanted to hear her opinion.
“I might really have to borrow some money from Su Zhuoqian.”
Lu Mingjue hesitated for a moment. “Your actions… are a little crazy.”
“If I’m not crazy, I won’t be able to deal with these crazy people, no?”
Lu Mingjue gave her a thumbs-up with a look of admiration.
…
In the building of Su Group…
The front desk receptionist was on the phone when she saw a young woman walking over. She was wearing a mask, revealing a pair of beautiful eyes, but it was impossible to see her full face.
The young woman was wearing a blue striped shirt, khaki pants, and a long windbreaker of the same color. She looked clean-cut and outstanding.
“Hello, who are you looking for?” The front desk receptionist quickly stood up.
“I’m looking for President Su Zhuoqian.”
“Do you have an appointment?”
Qiao Weiyang thought for a while. She didn’t have an appointment.
She had only called Su Zhuoqian and told him that she was coming over. She had never thought of making an appointment.
“I’m sorry, Miss. You need to make an appointment to see President Su. If you make an appointment now…” She looked down at the form on the computer. “You should be able to see President Su on this day next month.”
She made an apologetic gesture.
“Miss Qiao!” Zhou Lang came down from the elevator and saw Qiao Weiyang. He quickly greeted her.
Qiao Weiyang turned around and saw him. She knew that he was here to pick her up. She said to the front desk receptionist, “It’s okay. I can meet him now.”
Under the shocked gaze of the front desk receptionist, Qiao Weiyang walked toward Zhou Lang.
“Miss Qiao, this way, please.” Zhou Lang was all smiles. “I really didn’t expect you to come personally.”
“I just have something to discuss with Zhuoqian.”
“President Su is also very happy that you came to look for him.” Zhou Lang helped Su Zhuoqian show off at the right time. “I’ve never seen him so happy. Miss Qiao, if you’re free in the future, you should come by often.”
After leaving the elevator, Zhou Lang led Qiao Weiyang straight to Su Zhuoqian’s office.
He pushed open the office door and said, “Miss Qiao, take a seat first. When President Su’s meeting is over, he’ll come over immediately.”
“Okay.”
Zhou Lang served coffee and dessert to Qiao Weiyang.
Qiao Weiyang glanced at Su Zhuoqian’s office. The decorations in this huge office were very simple. They were almost entirely in black and white, which was very compatible with his personality.
This office was located on the top floor of the office building. From the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, one could look down on the buildings and streets of Jingdu City. The view was quite good.
Standing here and looking out of the window, she immediately felt clear-headed.
Qiao Weiyang stood there, her thoughts empty. She did not notice that someone had walked in.
Su Zhuoqian put down his coat and walked toward her. “Do you like the scenery here?”
“Yes, it’s great.”
“Why don’t we move your studio here?”
Su Zhuoqian walked over, naturally hugged her waist, and kissed her on the lips.
Qiao Weiyang closed her eyes and enjoyed this moment of silence and intimacy.
Then, she opened her eyes and said, “Forget it. It’s lonely at the top.”
“Why did you think of looking for me?” Su Zhuoqian knew that she had always prioritized her work and was unwilling to get him involved in her work.
“I’m here to get investments.”
Su Zhuoqian stared at her dark red lips. He had kissed away most of her lipstick. “Really?”
Under his gaze, Qiao Weiyang realized that she had been casually kissed by him just now and was even enjoying it very much. She really didn’t look like she was here to talk about work.
She immediately adjusted herself and took two steps back. She put on a businesslike attitude and said seriously, “What about now?”
She retreated, but Su Zhuoqian walked toward her unhurriedly.
Qiao Weiyang retreated again, and Su Zhuoqian continued forward.
When Qiao Weiyang retreated to the pillar of the floor-to-ceiling window, there was no place to retreat. She had no choice but to stop. “President Su, I really have a project to discuss with you. I’m here to talk about business; I’m not here as your girlfriend.”
“Right now…” Su Zhuoqian stepped forward and placed one hand on the pillar. He lowered his eyes and approached her. “I just want to kiss you.”
Not only did he want to, but he also did as he said and kissed Qiao Weiyang’s lips again.
The huge floor-to-ceiling window was behind her. Although she knew that with the height of Su Group’s building, it was impossible for outsiders to see this scene, Qiao Weiyang’s face still turned red.
It was as if the entire world was peeping at them.
That deep kiss stole her steady breathing. Her breath was unstable as she lay on Su Zhuoqian’s chest. She could hear his violent heartbeat; it was no slower than hers.
She calmed down and said, “President Su, if you continue to say this, I’ll think that I’m here to sell my looks!”
“Okay, tell me about the work matters.” Su Zhuoqian suppressed the satisfied smile on his lips and pointed at the chair in front of the desk, indicating for her to sit down.
Qiao Weiyang found a seat and sat down, explaining her intentions and plans. “I expect this project to be profitable, but I don’t have enough funds at the moment, so I want to borrow some from you.”
“It’s not a big problem for me to lend you money.” Su Zhuoqian took the report she gave him. “It’s indeed a good project.”
However, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Qiao Weiyang. “But what if we lose out?”
“I’ll return you the money using the money I earn from my next project.”
“What if I don’t want money?” Su Zhuoqian asked.
Qiao Weiyang saw the deep meaning in his eyes and laughed. “President Su, if you have any requests, just tell me.”
“Let’s talk about it after you make a profit.” Su Zhuoqian returned the report to her. “I’ll invest in this project.”
“If you really lose out and I can’t accept your conditions, don’t blame me for being shameless.”
“I can afford to lose money.” Su Zhuoqian patted the back of her hand.
Qiao Weiyang shuddered and retracted her hand. She really couldn’t avoid her feelings from surging even when discussing business with Su Zhuoqian.
Before leaving, Su Zhuoqian sent her to the door.
“Alright, President Su, you should go back. If we’re really seen together, my movie might become a hit, but I might not be able to keep the share price of Su Corporation from going down. After all, no one wants to see President Su with a female celebrity who hasn’t achieved anything yet.”
