Xu Jiayang, “…”
Suddenly felt like his heart had been pricked.
He darkened his face, “I’m only twenty-eight this year, and you actually say I’m old!!!”
Xia Weibao’s mouth gaped slightly, “No way, Director Xu, you’re only twenty-eight? My goodness, you can’t tell at all.”
Turns out he was only a year older than her husband.
Xu Jiayang, “…”
He waved his hand weakly, “You can go, I just want to be alone.”
When Leng Yan came out of the resting room, he actually witnessed Xu Jiayang looking at himself in the mirror with his phone, dead serious!
Almost saw a ghost!
“Mr. Xu, when did you become so narcissistic.”
Although he was quite handsome, there was no need to keep taking selfies with his phone, right?
Xu Jiayang put down his phone, his face grave, “Leng Yan, do you think I look old?”
Leng Yan, “…”
Did his brain short-circuit?
“You’re not even thirty, old what.”
Xu Jiayang thought for a moment, “Compared to Xia Weibao, am I too old?”
Leng Yan took a step back, his hands half-clenched into fists held up to his mouth, looking at Xu Jiayang as if he were looking at a monster!
“Xu Jiayang, you couldn’t possibly have fallen for Xia Weibao, could you?”
How masochistic must one be to fall for a nutcase like Xia Weibao!
And to not fear being domestically abused!
Xu Jiayang scowled and gritted his teeth, “Who told you I like her!”
He said it word by word, almost squeezing it through his teeth; he was still struggling in Bronze. Would he fall for the very source of his misery?!
Moreover, Xia Weibao’s kind of beauty was too risky; men who aren’t extremely good-looking wouldn’t dare to marry her, otherwise, how could they keep their eyes only on her.
“Then why are you asking about this?” Leng Yan was puzzled.
On mentioning this, Xu Jiayang exploded with fury, “That woman called me old!!!”
Leng Yan, “…”
Compared to the soft and young online addict Xia Weibao, you indeed seem a bit old…
Just then, Xia Weibao ran past them in a flurry, “Director Xu, boss, time to eat.”
Watching Xia Weibao run to fetch her boxed meal, Leng Yan frowned, “Why is she getting the meal herself?”
Xu Jiayang glanced at him, “Her agent is absent, there’s no personal assistant, if she doesn’t get it herself, should she just wait to starve to death?
I’m saying, Leng Yan, you’re too stingy. No matter what, Xia Weibao is the Top Sister of Hongtu; even if you don’t provide a car, at least she should have a personal assistant.”
Thankfully, Xia Weibao doesn’t sweat the small stuff (aside from games and snacks), or she would have defected long ago, you know.
Leng Yan felt embarrassed; he really hadn’t considered that before.
Most importantly, his damned father had gone bankrupt trying to promote her!
Where else would he find spare cash!
“I’ll ask Sister Tong to arrange one for her later.”
In the afternoon, just before wrap-up time, Sister Tong arrived at the set.
“Baby, the company decided to get you a personal assistant. Do you have any preferences?”
Xia Weibao blinked, trying to recall what exactly a personal assistant does.
She shook her head, “No need, I can manage just fine on my own.”
It was simply finding someone to run errands; she didn’t need that. After all, with another person watching, there would be no time to play games.
Sister Tong, with a stern face, “That won’t do. You’re the one the company is pushing now; it’s unbecoming for you to be without an assistant.”
Xia Weibao thought about it, recalling how, at the height of her fame, she had three assistants and a dedicated manager.
The discrepancy in status was indeed quite large now.
“Alright then, as long as they’re good-looking and have a nice figure, I have no other requirements.”
Sister Tong, “…”
Are you choosing a personal assistant or selecting a concubine?
