Chapter 494 - His Deepest Secrets (2/2)

Xu Xinrou had wanted to embarra.s.s Xu Xiyan in front of everyone, but the actress had turned the tables and bullied her a.s.sistant instead. It was a slap to the face for Xu Xinrou.

She would have to swallow her anger and resentment for now, and remember to avenge herself later.

Xu Xiyan found the crew responsible for the in-program ads. Once she’d changed into her costume and gotten her makeup done, it was time to begin shooting the ads.

The trend now was to insert the in-program ads seamlessly into the show to act as “commercial breaks” for viewers on online streaming sites.

It was much more convenient this way: the production crew would be able to film the ads on the set, and viewers tended to be much more receptive towards ads that were properly integrated into the show.

Xu Xiyan did not have many lines for her ads. They were easy to remember.

Huang Guoqiang nodded. He made a few false starts, not knowing how to broach the subject. “So Little Qi…”

“Don’t worry, Director Huang. Xiao Ke’s with her now.” Xu Xiyan watched him intently with her bright eyes. She decided it was time to lay it all out in the open. “Hey, Director Huang, can I ask you something? Are you in love with Ms. Qi?”

A look of surprise flashed across Huang Guoqiang’s face; this was quickly followed by a smile as he poked her forehead with a finger. “You cheeky girl, nothing gets past you. All right, you’ve seen through me.”

Huang Guoqiang had spent enough time with Xu Xiyan to know that she could be trusted. He opened up to her, revealing to her his deepest secrets.
