The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 1072 - 459: Watch a Movie, Go on a Date

Song Qiao was aware of the conflict between the father and son, but she didn’t say much. She lowered her head and looked at the roses in front of her, her heart softened into a gentle wave. After a long moment, she uttered a few words, "Lu Jingchen, thank you."

Lu Jingchen was in a good mood. After all, he and Song Qiao wouldn’t be getting a divorce anytime soon, and Song Qiao had agreed to give him a chance. That feeling made him happier than securing a multi-billion deal.

The two of them didn’t chat for long on the phone, as Lu Jingchen had many things to handle on his end, and Song Qiao also needed to prepare water and other essentials for Gu Xiyan to ensure she wouldn’t encounter any issues while filming.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Jingchen looked at Song Qiao’s photo on his phone screen and couldn’t help but rub it a few times with the pad of his thumb, a handsome smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

After a while, he continued reviewing the documents. A few minutes later, someone knocked on the door and he opened it without looking up, saying, "Come in."

Assistant Xue walked into the office with a respectful demeanor and said, "President, there’s an engagement with President Chen from the Chen Group tonight. I’ve already prepared the proposal. Do you want to review it now?"

Lu Jingchen looked up from the document at Assistant Xue in front of him. After frowning slightly, he said, "Let the manager from the diplomatic department follow up on tonight’s engagement. I have other plans tonight."

Assistant Xue was taken aback, although he was puzzled about what could be more important than signing this billion-dollar deal.

However, despite his curiosity, he didn’t voice it, simply nodded in response.

Just as Assistant Xue was about to leave, Lu Jingchen called out to him again, "Book me two movie tickets for a film that couples like to watch on dates nowadays."

Upon hearing Lu Jingchen’s instruction, Assistant Xue immediately understood that his boss was planning a date with the boss’s wife, which indeed was a significant affair.

Watching Lu Jingchen in a good mood, Assistant Xue immediately felt relieved, but more than that, he was full of admiration.

Indeed, only the boss’s wife could keep the boss’s temper in check; is this what they call one thing restraining another?

Now, his greatest hope was for the boss and Song Qiao not to have misunderstandings and arguments anymore; otherwise, it was always the employees like them who ended up suffering. Like yesterday when the boss was in a bad mood, the entire company was on edge, and during a meeting, the development department manager almost felt like jumping off the building.

With Lu Jingchen in a good mood, naturally, Assistant Xue was also in a good mood, knowing neither of them needed to worry today. He quickly nodded and answered, "Okay, I’ll arrange it right away."

After Assistant Xue left, Lu Jingchen concentrated all his energy on his work, hoping to finish it before leaving, so he could take Song Qiao to the movies and go on a date.

...

In the crew, Song Qiao stood behind the director and others, holding Gu Xiyan’s water bottle, her gaze resting on Gu Xiyan nearby.

Although it was summer, the final scene in the filming was set in a snowy landscape, so the producers invested heavily in creating artificial snow at the location.

Though not as effective as real winter snow, post-production could enhance it somewhat. Yet, even standing there, Song Qiao felt a bit cold.

In this scene Gu Xiyan was filming, her character finds her fellow disciples dead from poisoning in the ancient city’s snowy streets but fails to find her most beloved man.

The girl draped in ancient attire is full of anxiety and panic, flipping over bodies with expressions of hope, disappointment, and finally despair...

Gu Xiyan’s acting was indeed remarkable, perfectly conveying her emotions; her trembling fingers brushing away snow from faces clearly showed her fear.

Song Qiao didn’t enjoy acting nor the feeling of being in front of the camera, but she loved watching others act.

Having mentored Gu Xiyan from when she had no acting skills, Song Qiao watched Gu Xiyan gradually grow into a well-known actress in Hollywood, receiving appraisal as the most valuable female actor by various experts.

To say she wasn’t proud would be a lie.

While lost in thought, Gu Xiyan had already completed her scene and was lifting her dress to walk toward her, her face breaking into a radiant smile upon seeing her, "Sister Qiao..."

The director was watching the playback, wearing a satisfied smile. After watching, he turned to Gu Xiyan beside him and praised, "Great job, this scene was beyond expectations, even better than we imagined. Xiyan, your acting is getting more and more exquisite; you didn’t have any NGs. After this series, I hope we have more opportunities to work together."

Gu Xiyan felt a bit embarrassed, revealing her white teeth with a smile, "Director, you flatter me. Actually, having no NGs is thanks to your great direction. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know how to get into character initially."

"This girl can indeed sweet talk. Such acting skills are rare in the entertainment circle," chuckled a nearby screenwriter.

Gu Xiyan is still young, with significant potential for growth. Coupled with her current fame and exceptional acting skills, she’s sure to create a sensation domestically.

They felt fortunate to have invited Gu Xiyan as the female lead. They had hesitated during casting, but fortunately made a firm decision.

After chatting with the director and screenwriter for a while, Gu Xiyan turned towards Song Qiao, who had been quietly standing, smiling even more brightly, "Sister Qiao..."

Her demeanor was entirely akin to a little kitten yearning for affection.

Song Qiao’s gaze fell upon Gu Xiyan, and she couldn’t help but smile, handing her the thermos flask gently, "Let’s get moving, you’ve got another scene to shoot later. Touch up your makeup first. After shooting, I’ll have Shinian take you out for something delicious."

At the mention of this, Gu Xiyan’s eyes lit up, hugging Song Qiao’s arm excitedly, "Sister Qiao, I knew you’d understand me best."
