Chapter 489: Too Embarrassed to See People

Editor: Henyee Translations

After Tian Xian and Gu Xiao finished talking about the company, he looked up and sized up the guests who were already at the venue. When he did not see the person he wanted to see, he looked at Gu Xiao again.

“President Gu, I received news that the executive vice-president of Da Xiong Video’s superior company, Bai Song, will be coming today. He might have a collaboration to discuss with our Star Brilliance.”

Upon hearing Tian Xian’s words, Gu Xiao’s originally idle gaze immediately retracted.

Bai Song was a very capable man. Previously, when he was the CEO of Da Xiong Video, he had led Da Xiong Video from nothing and created an impressive achievement.

That was why Bai Song was promoted to the vice president position of the head office and became the executive vice president.

Although Bai Song was the vice president in name, he had the authority of a president. No one dared to underestimate this vice president who had been promoted from Da Xiong Video.

He was considered a very, very impressive person, and he was also someone who was highly valued and vigilant in the industry.

“Is there any other news?”

Tian Xian shook his head. “Da Xiong Video only revealed some information. Furthermore, from what I see, it was deliberately revealed to me by Da Xiong Video. As for the rest, I don’t know anything.”

When Gu Xiao heard this, a dark glint flashed across her eyes. She lowered her eyes and thought about something.

A moment later, she looked up again and said to Tian Xian, “Alright, I understand. I’ll be careful. However, since Bai Song is here personally, there shouldn’t be too much of a problem.”

If the person who came today was Bai Song and it was for cooperation, Da Xiong Video could be considered to have expressed a friendlier signal.

Bai Song’s level was high enough, and he had been promoted from Da Xiong Video. His arrival clearly told everyone that Da Xiong Video’s attitude towards Star Brilliance Entertainment and Gu Xiao was harmonious and friendly.

Since Bai Song had a friendly attitude, they did not have to worry too much.

When Tian Xian heard that, he nodded. After exchanging a few words with Gu Xiao, he was called to the side.

Anyway, after Gu Xiao’s rejection and Tian Xian’s obstruction, those people could tell that the president of Star Brilliance Entertainment was really impatient with this kind of business.

Since Gu Xiao was unwilling, it would be difficult for them to befriend her if they approached her again. Instead, they would become enemies.

Since Tian Xian could really make the decision, it was not impossible for them to approach Tian Xian instead.

Before Bai Song came, Gu Xiao waited for Jiang Meng and Wei Shu.

Jiang Meng and Wei Shu had just walked into the venue when they saw Gu Xiao and Chu An hiding leisurely in the corner. When Jiang Meng and Wei Shu saw Chu An beside Gu Xiao, they originally didn’t intend to go over to look for Gu Xiao.

However, they remembered that the invitation was given to them by Gu Xiao. Since they were already here, they had to inform Gu Xiao no matter what.

Otherwise, what if Gu Xiao didn’t see them and was worried about them?

Jiang Meng and Wei Shu encouraged each other. They puffed out their chests and walked towards Gu Xiao.

After seeing Jiang Meng and Wei Shu, Gu Xiao’s expression indeed softened a lot. Chu An followed Gu Xiao’s gaze and looked over. After nodding at the two of them indifferently, he looked at Gu Xiao again.

Without really meeting Chu An’s gaze, Jiang Meng and Wei Shu secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

“Xiaoxiao.” The two of them stopped two meters away from Gu Xiao and greeted her.

Gu Xiao nodded at the two of them. “Why are you so late?”

Logically speaking, she, Jiang Meng, and Wei Shu had left the school at about the same time. If she had arrived, Jiang Meng and Wei Shu should have arrived too.

She did not see the two of them in the venue just now and was a little worried that something had happened to them.

Upon hearing Gu Xiao’s question, Jiang Meng and Wei Shu smiled in embarrassment. Wei Shu even buried her face in her palms.

When Gu Xiao saw this, she raised her eyebrows and reacted. The two of them had probably done something. She didn’t know, but it must be very interesting.

Under Gu Xiao’s frank and magnanimous gaze, Jiang Meng’s gaze wavered left and right, but she was unwilling to look at Gu Xiao.

In the end, under Gu Xiao’s persistent gaze, Jiang Meng stammered and recounted what happened on the way.

“We were a little too happy. On the way here, we saw some skewers, so we bought some to eat.”

As Jiang Meng spoke, she seemed to feel that what happened next was really a little stupid. She paused and sorted out her emotions. Then, she gritted her teeth and said what she wanted to say in one breath.

“Then, then when the two of us were eating, we accidentally dripped the soup on the gown.”

After Jiang Meng finished speaking, Wei Shu, who was at the side, lowered her face even more. She skilfully showed what it meant to be too ashamed to face others.
