Entertainment: I just want to be the boss behind the scenes

Chapter 55 Partner Teacher Li
The park where Arclight Film and Television is located has a good environment, and even a landscape river was specially built.

Li Qin followed Meng Bai as they walked along the scenic river. She wanted to speak several times but was hesitant.

The ostensible reason for her coming here today was to check the profit sharing, but deep down, she actually wanted to talk to Meng Bai about what happened that night.

She was also conflicted about the "accident" that day.

To say she disliked him, that was impossible, otherwise she would have turned hostile at that time; but to say she liked him, it seemed...

Well, she did like it a little.

Well, only "a little bit".

But this liking is far from the level of "love", and she is still in the rising period of her acting career and has no plans to fall in love.

In that case, she wanted to make things clear with Meng Bai.

After all, it would be bad if this guy was deeply attracted by her charm and insisted on pursuing her.

Thinking of this, Li Qin felt that she could no longer hesitate. As a girl, she had to take responsibility and make things clear today.

"Well, that..." Li Qin turned her head and looked at the side, biting her lip and whispered: "I was drunk about what happened that night, so it was actually an accident."

Meng Bai was stunned when he heard this. He turned around and looked at the girl who was ducking her head. He asked in confusion, "What did you say? That night? What accident?"

Li Qin raised her head in disbelief and stared at the man with wide eyes.

What do you mean? You just pull someone over and kiss them like nothing happened?

Li Qin is now extremely angry. It's like when you get up early and finally get to the office first after going through a lot of hardships. You are about to punch in and take a photo to send to the group in an attempt to get praise from your boss, but you find out that it's the weekend and you don't have to go to work.

I've been struggling with this for so long these days and have come up with so many excuses, and now you're telling me that you don't take it to heart at all?
"Don't you remember what happened that night at the celebration banquet?" Li Qin stared at Meng Bai with gritted teeth.

"Celebration party..." Meng Baiyi had a confused expression on his face, but the faint smile at the corner of his mouth betrayed his true thoughts.

Li Qin naturally noticed this and immediately understood what was going on. His anger instantly exploded: "Are you kidding me?"

"Sorry, sorry." When Meng Bai saw that the girl was really angry, he immediately apologized: "Because Teacher Li is so cute, I couldn't help but want to see you angry. It's my fault."

"You...I..." Li Qin was originally full of anger, but after hearing Meng Bai's apology, she suddenly felt happy. The two emotions were entangled together, and she didn't know whether she should be angry or laugh.

After struggling for a long time, she finally calmed down this strange emotion, looked at Meng Bai and said: "Anyway, just remember it. I just want to make it clear to you today that it was just an accident that night. No one should mention it in the future, and don't take it to heart. What do you think?"

Meng Bai leaned on the railing by the river and said with a thoughtful expression: "Look, am I understanding it correctly? That is to say, although we had some interactions that went beyond normal relationships that night, you don't want our relationship to change because of this, so we should just pretend that the incident never happened and remain friends in the future."

"Yes, that's it!" Li Qin looked at Meng Bai expectantly: "Do you think it's okay?"

"Of course... you can't."

"what?"

"Please, girl, this is not some clichéd romance drama. There is really no need to say 'let's continue to be friends'. I don't lack friends." Meng Bai said.

"Then tell me, what do you want?" Li Qin asked.

Meng Bai said: "I think our original relationship was very good."

"What's the relationship?" Li Qin asked puzzledly.

Meng Bai raised his eyebrows: "Remember what I said when we first met? We are partners."

"Partner?" Li Qin asked, "That's it?"

"That's right." Meng Bai nodded, and added: "In many senses." "..."

Li Qin looked at Meng Bai. The meaning of "multiple meanings" here is very subtle.

Seeing that she was silent, Meng Bai stopped explaining and said with a hearty smile: "Okay, I know what you mean. We are all children of the underworld, and it's good to know many things in our hearts. Instead of wasting time, why not talk about something serious."

"What's the matter?" Li Qin naturally changed the subject.

Just like Meng Bai said, some things are better if both of us know each other’s thoughts.

"I have almost finished writing the script for the second season of 'Pendulum'. When do you have time this year? I want to finish filming the rest as soon as possible before the supervision of online dramas becomes stricter." Meng Bai said.

Li Qin thought for a moment and said, "I've just taken on a new play. It's an internal project of our company, so it's hard to refuse. The current plan is to join the crew in April, and wrap up around the end of June."

"That means we have to wait until the second half of the year." It's already March, and it will definitely be too late before April, so we can only wait until she finishes filming this drama.

Meng Bai nodded: "Okay, then I will make an appointment for your second half of the year in advance, and then I will prepare the script for you in advance."

"Can you give it to me now?" Li Qin's eyes lit up and she looked at Meng Bai and asked.

She had been curious about the plot of the second season for a long time, but Meng Bai had never let her watch it before, saying that it "should not affect the characters of the first season."

"You are not afraid of being mixed up with the next play." Meng Bai said: "The script is not ready yet. I will send you a copy when it is finished."

The two of them strolled around and returned to the downstairs of Arclight Films. At this time, the financial staff of the studio brought by Li Qin had already checked the accounts with Chen Jing, and her more than 2.4 million would be transferred to her in a few days.

"As expected, it's better to be your own boss." Li Qin bowed to Meng Bai beside him and said, "If there is a suitable opportunity in the future, I will ask Mr. Meng to help me more."

"Sure, but you need to bring both the person and the money."

"hehe."

The completion of the financial handover also means that the cooperation between the two has come to an end.

"Goodbye." X2
The two looked at each other, then said goodbye in unison. After that, they laughed together again.

"By the way, I forgot to give you something." Li Qin said, trotted to the car, and then took out a box and handed it to Meng Bai.

"What?" Meng Bai took it and opened it, and found a fine watch inside. Although he didn't recognize the brand, the workmanship alone showed that it was worth a lot.

"It's a gift for you." Li Qin explained: "First, it's to express my gratitude, and second, I wish you a happy birthday in advance!"

Meng Bai was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You are wrong. My birthday is still half a month away."

"I may not have time by then, so I'm giving it to you in advance." Li Qin smiled slyly: "Don't worry, it won't affect your ageing."

"Ha!" Meng Bai laughed out loud. This was what he had said before when he gave Li Qin a birthday present: "No way, girl, are you so vindictive?"

"Hmph!" Li Qin snorted. She had made several notes about this guy in her little notebook, and this was only the first one.

Looking at the watch on his hand, Meng Bai said sincerely: "Thank you, it's a very good gift."

"I'm the first one to give you a birthday present." Li Qin said.

"of course."

Li Qin smiled with satisfaction when she heard this, but then she heard Meng Bai say, "It must be the first one. After all, normal people usually don't send gifts half a month in advance."

"…Let's go, no need to see me off!"
