Chapter 95: Chapter 95: Would it be a waste to throw it away? Maybe selling it is also an option.

“Come in,” Sang Qiao didn’t lift her head, continuing to tidy up, her red lips moving slightly.

The door opened, and a tall man walked in. He was wearing a white shirt with the top two buttons undone, revealing his well-built collarbone.

As he pulled open the door, he didn’t forget to close it behind him and stopped in front of the office desk.

His face was handsome, with a discernible abstinent quality. At the sight of Sang Qiao, a flash of amazement passed through his eyes; he had thought his boss would be a sleazy middle-aged woman.

He hadn’t expected to meet a young and beautiful woman. Suddenly, he felt that offering himself wasn’t so unbearable, and he deftly started to unbutton his shirt.

Sang Qiao: “?”

Her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, “What are you doing?”

“Sister Qiao, I know Senior Lu is busy with filming and may not have time to attend to you. Let me… volunteer,” the male actor said with a smile creeping across his face.

Sang Qiao: “…”

“Get out.”

“Sister Qiao, did I do something wrong? Or do you dislike white shirts? I can change. Even if it’s just to be Senior Lu’s stand-in, I’m willing,” the male actor said, becoming somewhat anxious after being rejected.

“The company has roles for everyone we hire, and under-the-table dealings are even more prohibited. There’s no dirty business between Lu Anchi and me, understand?” Sang Qiao lifted her gaze slightly, her voice calm and composed, recalling the enthusiastic actors upstairs.

And the actor who fell near her, she had a bad thought sneaking into her mind. Couldn’t it be that they weren’t just being friendly but were deliberately waiting for her?

“But… Sister Qiao, you can’t even remember my name. How will you assign me a role?” The male actor was still not giving up.

“Li Qingyan.” Sang Qiao spoke in an unhurried tone. She had glanced over the agency’s actors’ profiles that afternoon and had also arranged some opportunities for them.

She remembered most of their names, and given Li Qingyan’s excellent outward image, she naturally remembered him.

Li Qingyan was taken aback, “Sister Qiao, you actually know?”

“Yes, and a role has been arranged for you too. Wait for your agent to notify you,” Sang Qiao nodded.

“Sister Qiao, are you really not interested in me?” Li Qingyan asked, a mix of happiness and sorrow, persistently questioning.

Sang Qiao’s small face turned serious, “Not interested, and don’t entertain such thoughts anymore.”

“Not daring to, not daring to. Sister Qiao, I’ll take my leave now. Thank you for the opportunity. I will work hard to live up to your expectations,” Li Qingyan said, after finishing his flattery, he promptly left, filled with regret and disappointment.

That day, after Sang Qiao left the company, a manager sent out a notice in the group chat.

[@Everyone, any under-the-table actions are strictly forbidden. If someone is coerced, please add me or Ah He on WeChat with your real name to report. The company will deal with it severely. Also, in the future, please don’t presume to volunteer yourselves upstairs because of your looks—Sister Qiao is not into men. It’s better to spend that idle time honing your talent and acting skills. Please be aware.]

Upon the release of this message, everyone immediately abandoned any ideas of showing off their attractiveness and were also secretly curious about who had tried to seduce Sister Qiao.

The agents who harbored intentions of letting their talent accompany the bosses and directors also gave up such filthy tactics.

Some internally criticized the young boss as foolish, thinking that some opportunities aren’t easy to come by without sacrificing something.

When Ah He finished her work and saw this message in the evening, she couldn’t help but mock mercilessly.

Ah He: [Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter. Sang Qiao, someone actually tried to seduce you upstairs?]

Ah He: [Quick, spill the beans. Which bold male actor went to such an extent?]

Sang Qiao didn’t see these two messages until she got home, Qiaoqiao is sleepy: “[…]”

She sat on the sofa, lost in thought.

Just then, Su Nuanying happened to come back from outside and she was holding a ticket, “Cousin, this is what your elder brother asked me to give to you.”

Sang Qiao turned her head and saw it was the ticket she had declined to take yesterday, her eyebrows knitting slightly, “Give it back to him.”

“He already left, and I know you don’t want it, but he shoved it into my hand and ran off, I… also couldn’t just throw it away, after all, it’s so expensive. Could you just dispose of it however you want?”

Su Nuanying left out that Sang Siyang also bought tickets for her and all her friends to see the show, and then took off, leaving them with no chance to return them.

Since she was in receipt of a favor, she didn’t feel right about simply throwing away this family ticket.

Besides, Sang Siyang said it was fine for her to pass it on to Sang Qiao, and however Sang Qiao chose to deal with it didn’t matter.

“Just throw it away,” Sang Qiao replied, uninterested, continuing to swipe through her phone.

“Wouldn’t it be such a waste to throw it away? It’s worth so much, and besides… doesn’t Sang Jiao always use this to show off on Weibo? You could sell it, and that would serve her right!”

Su Nuanying had long been irritated by Sang Jiao’s annual ‘little white flower’ posts thanking her “brothers” for whatever they sent.

Sang Qiao wasn’t interested in such boasting and spoke carelessly, “If you like it, it’s yours to deal with as you wish.”

“Really… really? Can I go to the show?” Su Nuanying’s eyes widened in surprise.

“Mhm.”

“Ah, Cousin, I love you so much! Don’t worry, I’m just going to watch. I definitely won’t cheer for him or anything.” Su Nuanying said this and meant it.

Even if it killed her, she wouldn’t cheer for Sang Siyang. Let him lose!

“There’s no need to act like that. You’re free to do what you want and like whoever you want.”

Sang Qiao chuckled softly, not paying much mind to it.

“Cousin, I really do love you so much. Remember that girl with red hair? She said after you took me away last time, she would settle the score with you next time we met. Now with Sang Siyang’s tickets, she’s changed her tune…”

Su Nuanying abruptly stopped talking, realizing she had said too much.

“Changed her tune to what?” Sang Qiao’s expression remained calm, showing no sign of fluctuation.

Su Nuanying felt relieved; thankfully, her cousin was generous and wouldn’t misconstrue her acceptance of Sang Siyang’s ticket as a bribe offered to do him a favor.

“She said she wants to make a sisterhood pact with you next time she meets you, ahem, she’s been watching too many TV dramas lately.”

Sang Qiao was silent for a moment and then raised her eyelids, “Why not just have a fight?”

“That… I’ll communicate your message to her tomorrow.” Su Nuanying stared at her cousin’s delicate figure, thinking it might be better to form a sisterhood.

But it was clear that her cousin had no childish intention to indulge Hong; besides, with Hong’s red hair, she probably wouldn’t catch Qiao’s fancy.

Well, it’s uncertain when they would meet again anyway.

“Mhm.”

Grandma Su, who had just come back inside, was pleased to see Xingxing and Qiaoqiao getting along harmoniously and the improving atmosphere in the house.

Remembering her own daughter, she was filled with irritability as she couldn’t understand why just she didn’t like Qiaoqiao; Qiaoqiao was such a well-behaved child.

Grandma Su thought she needed to meet with that con artist; she was curious how someone could completely charm and win the trust of her daughter, who had been stubborn since childhood.
