Chapter 4: How Can I Be Like You Kids, Whose Clothes Are Only Used For One-Off! (1)
Inside the meeting room, when Xia Hong saw Xia Chuxing enter, he was taken aback. Chu Xiaxing had a plain face, and she didn’t put on any make-up. Furthermore, she was wearing comfortable and casual clothes. She looked more like a backstage staff than an actress. However, she so naturally stepped into the conference room that it seemed like the place was hers. It was different from ordinary actors.
“Hello, Mr. Xia.” Chu Xiaxing’s tone was carefree. Although the way she addressed him was polite, it sounded like she was mocking a child. It lacked the restraint and courtesy the other employees had for him.
When Xia Hong met the other party’s calm gaze, he inexplicably felt like he was seen through. He looked down at the exquisite photo in his hand and at the dignified Chu Xiaxing. He asked with a strange expression, “Are you Chu Xiaxin?”
Xia Hong: Her aura does not match with the photo at all.
Chu Xiaxing nodded calmly. “Yes.”
Xia Hong waved the photo in his hand and said in surprise, “…I didn’t expect your photo to be in this style.”
Chu Xiaxing glanced at the photo in the other party’s hand. The Chu Xiaxin in the picture appeared beautiful and innocent, with black hair and a white dress. It really didn’t match her current casual way of dressing. She calmly explained, “That photo is for reference only. Please refer to the actual product in front of you.”
Xia Hong: “…” Do the likes of you use photos to deceive people now?
Xia Hong thought Chu Xiaxin was a timid little girl who didn’t dare to speak, but now, he himself was a little afraid to speak in front of her. He felt that the girl was different from his expectations. Chu Xiaxing was not depressed at all.
Xia Hong said in a trance, “Alright, sit down…”
Chu Xiaxing didn’t refuse his invitations. She pulled the chair beside her naturally, without the appearance of being cautious. Xia Hong had been a little awkward since she entered the room. He felt that the atmosphere of meeting with Chu Xiaxing was like facing his father alone at home. He was obviously the boss of the company, but he was inexplicably a bit overwhelmed by her.
People in different positions and heights would naturally exude an aura, especially those with influence. Even if they smiled and had a friendly attitude, their self-confidence and dignity in their manner and speech would be put on display. It made people dare not to make mistakes.
Although Chu Xiaxing’s appearance had become Chu Xiaxin now, the things ingrained in her bones would not change. She still was the famous Director Chu in the entertainment industry. She could see Xia Hong’s eyes at first glance, and she was certainly not half timid in front of him. The two people’s lives were not the same, and the atmosphere of getting along was also different.
Xia Hong was confused by the contrast between the photos and the actual person. Chu Xiaxing opened her mouth first. She raised her eyebrows. “Mr. Xia, are you interested in me? Let’s talk.”
Chu Xiaxing had talked with Chu Xiaxin, so she knew that the real girl was cowardly and weak. Besides, she was also not really a cunning type who relied on appearance, or she would not owe a huge sum of money. Chu Xiaxin didn’t have the courage to take the initiative to approach an investor. The only possibility was that Xia Hong took the lead. That made him the troublemaker.
Chu Xiaxing came straight to the point and didn’t beat around the bush with the other party. If Xia Hong was a scum, she wouldn’t hold back then.
Xia Hong usually rolled around the flowers. If he was facing the other girls, he would be glib, but now when he communicated directly with Chu Xiaxing, he suddenly felt frustrated. It was as if he was held down by the elders.
Xia Hong waved his hand and said incoherently. “No! I have nothing to do with you. I’m an honest man. I’m just doing things for others!”
Chu Xiaxing was taken aback. “Doing things for others?”
Xia Hong’s eyes wavered before he said frankly, “I’m the boss in name only. I don’t know about you two. Just talk about the details when you two meet. But he may have been a little busy recently…”
Chu Xiaxing didn’t understand Xia Hong’s words at all, but she understood that the other party was an errand-runner. She frowned and said, “So there is another CEO behind CEO Xia?”
Chu Xiaxing: So this isn’t the investor, this is the investor’s man?
Xia Hong: “Yes, yes, yes. You have to ask Mr. Song about the affairs of you two. Don’t ask me!”
Chu Xiaxing nodded. Once she learned about Xia Hong’s true identity, her attitude relaxed. She leaned back in her chair and greeted lazily, “Oh, Xiao Xia, how old are you then?”
Xia Hong hadn’t noticed the change in her address to himself. He responded subconsciously as if facing a prestigious elder, “Twenty-six…”
Chu Xiaxing nodded thoughtfully. “Then, you’re almost in your thirties. What kind of business do you do now? Do you plan to follow your family or start your own business?”
Chu Xiaxing could see that Xia Hong was the son of a rich family. Although he looked like a prodigal character, he was essentially rich and stupid with insufficient brain capacity.
“I own some film and television companies, and now I’m following…” Xia Hong suddenly came back to his senses. His eyes widened in disbelief. “Wait a minute. Why should I tell you this? I’m the boss here!”
Chu Xiaxing wasn’t in a hurry facing his fuss. She leisurely asked, “You still have other film and television companies? What are their names?”
Xia Hong was dissatisfied and said, “What’s the matter with you? I’m the…”
Chu Xia Xing looked up at him. “Hmm?”
Xia Hong had started off quite angrily. But when he saw her frown, he immediately looked like a dog cub being pinched. He said weakly, “Fanke Pictures.”
Chu Xiaxing pondered for a few seconds, but she couldn’t remember the name. “I haven’t heard of it.”
She only knew about film and television companies with big names. Obviously, Xia Hong’s level was not high enough, with no spindrifts in the circle.
Of course, Xia Hong knew that his company was not well-known, but he was still trampled and hurt. He was always reprimanded severely by his father because he couldn’t do well at home. Immediately, he became subconsciously furious and said, “You are not my father; why interrogate me? Don’t think that you can do whatever you want with Song Wenye covering for you. In fact, I’m not afraid of him!”
Xia Hong had never been in contact with Chu Xiaxin before, but no matter what, he shouldn’t be restrained by a little girl!
Chu Xiaxing: “No, you misunderstood…”
Xia Hong snorted coldly. “It’s good if you know. Don’t think I’m easy to bully. I’m not Song Wenye’s follower!”
