Chapter 360: Tender Trap (Part )
"You didn't steal it, could it be that Xie Zhang gave it to you? An Jiayi, do you really think you are a fairy?" Jiang Yan sneered, "If it weren't for Xie Zhang! You wouldn't even be worthy of carrying my shoes!"
Fortunately, the dispute between the two finally alarmed Wang Shao in the office.
Wang Shao came out with a frown on his face and said, "Jiang Yan, don't go too far."
Jiang Yan looked at Wang Shao angrily, "I went too far? She relied on Xie Zhang's favor to snatch the role from me!"
"Jiayi didn't snatch it. Mr. Xie took the initiative to give it to her."
To Jiang Yan, these words sounded like a slap in the face.
She looked embarrassed, sneered, and said, "Are you kidding? Mr. Wang, how long has Mr. Xie known her?"
Wang Shao originally wanted to give Jiang Yan some face, but she was too ungrateful to even make a scene with An Jiayi in front of his office.
Even though Jiang Yan is the number one sister, there is no reason for her to slap Xie Zhang in the face.
Therefore, Wang Shao's expression became colder and colder. He stared at Jiang Yan and said in a deep and cold voice, "I'm not kidding you! Jiang Yan, I'm telling you very clearly now that Mr. Xie personally told me to take good care of An Jiayi. She is different from the previous woman."
An Jiayi had been detached from the situation, listening blankly to the argument between Wang Shao and Jiang Yan.
He was used to being an unknown person in the company, and he felt quite uncomfortable being praised so highly by Wang Shao.
Jiang Yan's expression became complicated for a few moments, and then she snorted coldly and left without saying a word.
An Jiayi looked at Jiang Yan's leaving back and was speechless for a long time.
"What are you still looking at?" Wang Shao looked at An Jiayi helplessly, very surprised, "She was riding on your face, why didn't you know how to hide?"
An Jiayi was immediately ashamed. She said, "Didn't you tell me not to conflict with Teacher Jiang Yan?"
"I asked you not to have a conflict, but..." Wang Shao took a deep breath and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Well, it doesn’t matter as long as this matter doesn’t reach Xie Zhang’s ears.
Where there are many women, there are many gossips. It’s no big deal.
Wang Shao's expression eased. He looked at An Jiayi's well-behaved face, paused, and said, "Okay, nothing else, go read the script."
An Jiayi nodded repeatedly, holding the script, and disappeared from Wang Shao's sight.
Wang Shao looked at her back and sighed again.
This was the first big production that An Jiayi had received. Although she knew that Xie Zhang had given it to her from Jiang Yan, now that the script was in her hands, she had no reason not to treat it well.
An Jiayi was very serious and was still reading the script right before going to bed.
Xie Zhang also came to her place today.
As soon as he walked in, he asked, "Where's the goldfish downstairs?"
An Jiayi scratched her hair and whispered, "I came back today and saw one with its belly facing upwards."
Xie Zhang raised his eyebrows, "What about the others?"
An Jiayi said: "I was afraid I wouldn't be able to take good care of them, so I gave them all to my sister."
Xie Zhang did not ask in detail who An Jiayi's sister was.
He was just having a romantic affair, there was no need for him to care about the trajectory of her life.
Xie Zhang sat down and pinched An Jiayi's face. He lowered his eyes and saw the script she had spread out on her lap. "So good? Are you still reading a script so late at night?"
"Isn't that work? We must take work seriously!" An Jiayi put the script aside and said, "Mr. Xie, do you want to take a shower? I'll help you get some hot water."
Xie Zhang said there was no hurry. After a pause, he observed An Jiayi's expression and said calmly: "Let me ask you, did Jiang Yan cause you any trouble today?"
"Ah?" An Jiayi stared at Xie Zhang blankly. She pondered for a moment before saying, "This shouldn't be considered asking for trouble."
Xie Zhang sneered, "Why not?"
"I just had a few words with her!"
"If I have a grudge against you, I will kill you."
Xie Zhang's voice was dull and cold, and his words were very vicious.
An Jiayi's face turned pale when she heard this, and she answered seriously, "It's not that I took someone else's role first."
"This is not called snatching." Xie Zhang corrected An Jiayi, "This is a drama I invested in. I can support whoever I want. Do you understand?"
An Jiayi nodded and understood.
Xie Zhang's expression eased. He frowned and observed An Jiayi's face, "Where did you hit?"
An Jiayi pointed to the right side of her face, "This way."
"Why don't you call back?"
"She is a senior." An Jiayi tugged at Xie Zhang's sleeve, "Forget it, it's just a small matter."
Xie Zhang discovered that An Jiayi was different from all the women he had known before.
She seemed to have no idea what it meant to take advantage of someone's situation. Even though he treated her differently, she was still cautious and did her duty.
Speaking of which, it seems a bit too stupid, but Xie Zhang just likes An Jiayi's little temper.
So he smiled and was in a good mood, "Go to bed early. I will ask the acting teacher to go to your company tomorrow and explain the script to you."
An Jiayi nodded. She looked at Xie Zhang with a smile, hesitated for a moment, and kissed his cheek with a strong flattering tone, "I will behave well!"
"What can you, a person who is menstruating, show?" Xie Zhang sneered. He retracted his gaze and looked at An Jiayi's soft and pale face. He raised his hand and pinched it, "Go to sleep!"
An Jiayi was very happy and lay down obediently.
She was not as scared of Xie Zhang as she had been a few days ago. When they lay together at night, she whispered, "Mr. Xie, I..."
"Can you please stop calling me Mr. Xie?" Xie Zhang sighed and said, "Just call me by my name. It's not against the law."
"Oh Xie Zhang!" An Jiayi called out slowly, then moved towards Xie Zhang with a smile. She said, "Xie Zhang, do you think I can play this role well?"
"can."
“But this role is very complex, and I feel like I haven’t taken on such a complex role before.”
Xie Zhang closed his eyes and said casually: "Read the script a few more times. If you really don't understand something, ask the acting teacher tomorrow."
"Okay!" An Jiayi said crisply, "I will definitely study hard!"
After a pause and a brief silence, An Jiayi said, "Xie Zhang, how did you know I was beaten?"
"There are many people who want to tell me." Xie Zhang said.
An Jiayi nodded, and then realized that Xie Zhang couldn't see it, so she added, "If I break up with Jiang Yan now, they will definitely say behind my back that I am spoiled by my favor."
Xie Zhang chuckled, and he corrected An Jiayi in a good-tempered manner, "That's not how you can be spoiled."
"So how do I use that?"
Xie Zhang pinched An Jiayi's chin and kissed her. His movements were forceful and after a long time, their foreheads touched. He said in a hoarse voice, "You should at least persuade her first, right? Otherwise, how can I spoil you?"
