Chapter 249: Chapter 249 The Main Character’s Downfall (6)
“Qin Baizhou, don’t you already know what Siyu is like? She’s always been one to speak her mind.”

“Even if they’re not a couple, you also know there’s another possibility. The entertainment industry is full of temptations, and they are both attractive men and women…”

In fact, within the circle of agents or even most ordinary people, Qin Baizhou would be considered quite handsome. He’s 182 cm tall and had a phase when he was overweight, but after starting work, he slimmed down, and now he is a dashing young man.

Unlike Bo Yan, he came from a humble family and earned his way to Yancheng University. After graduating from the Chinese department, he first worked at a newspaper. But with the meager salary, he couldn’t make ends meet and had to take on part-time work in new media during his free time. He started from the bottom, as an entertainment reporter, Star Scout, and artist assistant.

Xia Siyu was the first star he discovered and the one he brought into his previous company by signing her up. Thanks to Xia Siyu, he rose through the ranks at that company. From an entertainment reporter and peripheral Star Scout to an artist assistant, then an executive agent, he also ventured into business.

Qin Baizhou was quick-witted and capable, and after making money, he resigned to focus on being an agent. Much of his success was due to Xia Siyu’s fame; for business and film engagements, they didn’t even need to actively seek out opportunities, as many corporations and investors came Door-knocking for collaborations. Thus, he made numerous contacts, which later led to him securing investment and, leveraging that, establishing a new entertainment company and performing a series of maneuvers to sign Xia Siyu away. He is now one of the three partners in their new company and holds significant power.

Qin Baizhou was a people person, generous when it was called for and politely cordial when appropriate. However, he was also unyielding when he needed to be. He always conversed with a smile, even when dealing with subordinates. He never let his emotions show or his thoughts be known to the other party.

Therefore, even if some people felt he was a smiling tiger and his gentlemanly demeanor was a facade, it’s hard to strike at a smiling face, and generally, people didn’t end up falling out with him over public matters.

Wei Jingjing started to feel uneasy with Qin Baizhou’s sudden silence. To tell the truth, as a subordinate, she sometimes wished her boss would be more open about his emotions; otherwise, when she made a mistake, she would never know how she “died,” left only to silently speculate about his thoughts.

After a while, Qin Baizhou asked, “What time is her flight?”

Wei Jingjing replied, “It arrives at eleven. Allowing for luggage retrieval and customs, let’s say around twelve. Boss, are you planning to pick her up?”

Qin Baizhou waited another moment before he quietly affirmed with a “Hmm”: “I’ll go and see.”

After Xia Siyu’s slip-up in the wee hours, although Qin Baizhou was affected, he handled everything quite well. He took down the trending search and also kept an eye on Bo Yan’s agency’s actions.

Waiting for eleven o’clock, Xia Siyu’s plane landed, and before she even passed through customs, Qin Baizhou was already at the airport. The reason he hadn’t shown up earlier was first, to see what steps Bo Yan’s company would take. From the early hours until now, he had been in touch with Bo Yan’s company and had a hunch they were considering riding on Xia Siyu’s slip-up for publicity, which irked him.

Secondly, he wanted to gauge Xia Siyu’s own attitude.

Whether there was something between her and Bo Yan, whether they were romantically involved or not.

But just now, after Xia Siyu repeatedly clarified the issue, he believed her.
