Chapter 495: Chapter 494: Coming and Going (6)


    When Bo Yan spoke these words, he was in front of Xia Siyu’s room. The corridor was empty, in ordance with his request, no one but he and Xia Siyu’s team would know.


    Few people knew about what Qin Baizhou said to Bo Yanst night. But at this moment, Bo Yan was unabashedly confronting him in front of everyone. Wei Jingjing felt a thump in her heart; clearly, Bo Yan was fighting for control over casting!


    This was a challenge, a deration of war, and also a way for him to brand Xia Siyu as his own.


    Qin Baizhou was slightly taken aback, then his face darkened before he lifted a faint smile. Although the smile remained, his eyes were exceptionally sharp, “Me holding her back? I’m her agent. We’ve supported each other to this point. I want her to seed more than anyone else in the world!”


    “But has she truly seeded? Ephemeral poprity brings nothing more than a facade of prosperity. Does she want to make money? She doesn’tck it, nor does she value it highly. Maybe under you, she could maximize hermercial potential, but what of it? Works that stand the test of time are what she strives for. If you can’t help her, at least don’t hold her back.”


    It was rare to see Bo Yan so earnest. He stood tall and straight, his gaze sharp. His peach blossom eyes were calm and steady, and there wasn’t a hint of a smile on his lips. Today, he was dressed in a ck casual outfit, a stark contrast to Qin Baizhou’s white shirt. The two men each upied their ground, neither willing to give in.


    The onlookers beside them dared not even breathe out loud, watching them with faces full of cautious attention.


    After a while, Qin Baizhou let out a coldugh, “You talk a good game, but can you im artistry just by saying it exists? Efficiency is the foundation of all work. Without efficiency, how can there be sess? To say nothing else, you lured her to the ‘Spring Light’ crew, with a novice director, an immature team, and at least five months wasted. Is this your art?”


    “We do not n together if our paths differ. It’s still better than you, making her run around in chick flicks, pushing her to take on more variety shows, yet neglecting that acting talent is the essence of an actor’s foundation.”


    “Hey, you two!” Xia Siyu, who had been standing in the middle with her head down, finally couldn’t bear it anymore.<div>


    She said to Bo Yan, “Since when is my work for you to judge?”


    Bo Yan was taken aback, “Didn’t we agree on thisst night?”


    “Even if we did agreest night, I should be the one to speak out. Who allowed you to speak on my behalf?”


    “I spoke. What about it? You kicked me.”


    “I did kick you. So what? Do you want to be kicked again tonight?”


    The back and forth between the two seemed, on the surface, to be Xia Siyu defending Qin Baizhou.


    But in reality, from beginning to end, she didn’t once look back at Qin Baizhou. The two of them argued fiercely, effectively leaving him out in the cold.


    This feeling of beingpletely ignored was new to him.


    Even though Xia Siyu still felt some repulsion towards Bo Yan, she had unconsciously be integrated into his daily routine. They bickered, yed around, shot scenes, and even engaged in yful antics at night. Other than standing by and watching, he waspletely powerless.


    It wasn’t until Qin Baizhou was leaving that Xia Siyu turned around, “Have a safe trip.”


    Is it really just a slight dy that has put such distance between us? Is it truly impossible for me to win her back?

    Qin Baizhou pushed open the door of the private room, and to his surprise, sitting inside was — Zhou Weiwei: “I want to know the rtionship between Bo Yan and Xia Siyu.”
