From Runaway Bride to Global Queen-Chapter 171 - Appointment

Chapter 171 -171 Appointment

The visitor was a familiar face, the president of Sihai Entertainment, Le Bai.

Seeing this woman, Qiao Yi couldn’t help but feel a headache, even with an impulse to run away.

Le Bai, oblivious to Qiao Yi’s reaction, naturally took her arm and pulled her out the door.

“A couple of days ago, I messaged you to come over and have a sit in the company, but I heard you were busy with a project. Now I’ve finally caught you alive, haven’t I?”

A faint fragrance wafted from her side, and Le Bai’s formidable “weapon” was pressed upon Qiao Yi’s arm; such a blessing was a bit too much for Qiao Yi to bear, even as a girl.

“Uh, Miss Le, I still have things to do at my company, shall we reschedule?”

“What could be so important? What’s more important than seeing a handsome guy? Plus, I just asked your little assistant, and she said you’ve just given your team a mini vacation. You think you can fool me with that?”

Qiao Yi was dumbfounded, she had been betrayed by her own assistant!

With no escape and no avoidance, Qiao Yi could only stiffly allow herself to be stuffed into the car by Le Bai and was pulled away from the Qiao Family premises.

“Miss Le, what is it that you really want from me? I’ve indeed been quite busy these days, I didn’t even notice your messages.”

When it can’t be avoided, just go with the flow. Knowing well that she couldn’t escape, Qiao Yi stopped struggling.

Actually, come to think of it, going with Le Bai to see some handsome young dudes at the company might indeed be a decent way to relax!

Only…

The expressionless face of Lu Yanchuan flashed before Qiao Yi’s eyes.

“It’s about what you mentioned before. You said your company’s annual event wanted some performers. I checked the artists’ schedules; there are a few who are available. Let’s see whom you’d like.”

Qiao Yi thought about it, there really was such a matter. But, she had mentioned that in jest!

She was just joking about wanting Miss Le to pick a few good-looking artists to perform for the annual event, she didn’t expect Miss Le to actually arrange it!

Qiao Yi felt a bit torn, Le Bai was almost her rival in love, and now she was so attentive for a mere word from Qiao Yi, is this really appropriate?

Regardless of what was on Qiao Yi’s mind, Le Bai had already pulled up the artists’ profiles on her tablet, placed it on Qiao Yi’s lap, and waited for her to choose.

Oh my! Isn’t this that recently popular boy band? And this one, isn’t it that idol group known as legends!

After flipping through four or five profiles, Qiao Yi stiffly lifted her head to look at Le Bai.

“Miss Le, actually our annual meeting is just a small one, we don’t need to bring in such big-name artists…”

Whether they are big-name or not is secondary; the main concern is whether her budget can cover their appearance fees!

The others might be okay, but just this mainland male singer she’s looking at, it’s said that his appearance fee for one commercial performance is up to seven digits!

If they negotiate at this rate, just the cost of hiring stars for this annual meeting could amount to tens of millions of yuan!

“What are you thinking? Since I’ve brought you the information, feel free to pick anyone, sis absolutely won’t let you suffer a loss!”

Le Bai swung her fair and tender hand spiritedly. Seeing Qiao Yi’s still hesitant expression, she took the tablet from Qiao Yi’s lap, made choices for her without asking.

“Your company’s employees are, on average, under thirty-five. They probably won’t like too old-fashioned artists. Hmm… let me think, these few are nice; they have a broad fan base. This one is not bad either…”

Each of these stars would be a big deal with millions of fans out in the world, yet in Le Bai’s hands, they were just a bunch of vegetables to be picked through, this one with a nice leaf, that one with a long root.

Qiao Yi’s mouth twitched as she watched, and even though she opened her mouth, she ultimately didn’t stop Le Bai’s actions.

She had figured it out by now; it was better to just keep quiet and honest at this time, otherwise, she couldn’t guarantee that if she tried to intervene, it wouldn’t lead to more frustrating situations.

Amidst Le Bai’s fussy nagging, the car finally arrived at Sihai Tower.

“The list for the annual meeting is set! Come on, Yiyi, let your sister take you to see the new trainees who arrived these past two months!”

Qiao Yi was dragged out of the car, grumbling inwardly about being called “little Yiyi” – okay fine to call her Yiyi, but why add “little”? Was she small? In what way was she small?

“Little Yiyi, come on, what are you spacing out at the door for!”

“Oh, right, I’m coming!”

Qiao Yi followed with a sigh of resignation, unaware that just a few minutes after she and Le Bai left the Qiao Family, Lu Yanchuan had arrived.

“Has she left?”

“Yes, the team leader left with President Le of Sihai Entertainment. It sounded like President Le was taking the team leader to Sihai Entertainment.”

Not everyone had the courage to face Lu Yanchuan’s cold demeanor and still keep a straight face.

The assistant reported Qiao Yi’s whereabouts nervously, while internally screaming.

Could this be Ms. Qiao’s joy? Mr. Lu is just too handsome! Stare a bit longer and you’ll get pregnant with a look!!!

Lu Yanchuan was long accustomed to the various looks from people around him. After asking about Qiao Yi’s whereabouts, he directly left the Qiao Family.

Once Lu Yanchuan had left, the assistant couldn’t hold back anymore and screamed while covering his face.

“Mom! Mr. Lu’s cold snort, so sexy!!!”

“Let’s go to Sihai Entertainment.”

Lu Yanchuan got in the car and gave the instruction, but Ma Yu didn’t start the car promptly, which made him impatiently lift his head and glance at the rearview mirror.

Feeling a shiver, Ma Yu pretended to clear his throat and hurriedly drove.

“Mr. Lu, weren’t we here to find Miss Qiao? Why are we going to Sihai Entertainment now?”

Ma Yu’s idiotic question went unanswered by Lu Yanchuan, who didn’t even spare him an extra glance, as if he hadn’t heard the question at all.

Belatedly realizing his own foolishness, Ma Yu’s face turned red with seriousness as he focused on driving, not daring to ask any more questions.

After parking in front of Sihai Entertainment, Lu Yanchuan entered the Sihai Tower, where the receptionist immediately greeted him.

“Good day, sir. May I help you…”

“I’m looking for Le Bai. Did she bring someone to Sihai Entertainment?”

The receptionist choked for a moment but still maintained a professional smile and service.

“I’m sorry, sir. Without an appointment, I’m afraid you’ll have to wait a bit. President Le has instructed that she is not to be disturbed during this time. We kindly ask for your understanding.”

Lu Yanchuan’s lips curled into a mocking smile, and his cold gaze made the receptionist’s legs go weak, backing up two steps before regaining her balance.

“You should ask if Le Bai took away my wife, did she make an appointment with me?”
