Chapter 20: You Didn’t Miss Me?
Until he sat down next to Zhou Sijin, Chen Wei still hadn’t figured out why Zhou Sijin had suddenly changed his nature today.
Zhou Sijin usually didn’t care much about his affairs, let alone openly display their relationship in front of outsiders.
Even when he gave him resources usually, he would just casually give an order downward, and then there would be no follow-up.
A practice like today’s, directly using actions to back him up, was a first.
However, before Chen Wei could think further about the reasons, a voice suddenly appeared and interrupted his thoughts.
“Your name is… Chen Wei?”
Chen Wei looked up, following the source of the voice.
The moment his gaze met Zhang Quan’s across Zhou Sijin, Chen Wei reflexively moved to stand up and apologize for his rudeness just now.
“Director Zhang.”
Unexpectedly, before his body could fully rise, he was pressed back down by the quick-eyed and quick-handed Zhou Sijin.
Chen Wei was startled and stared blankly at Zhou Sijin, a bit confused.
Zhou Sijin had a half-smile on his face that looked a bit shameless.
“Where did you learn that habit?” he asked lazily.
“?”
Chen Wei looked lost.
Glancing casually at the chair behind him, Zhou Sijin said in a flat tone:
“Sit down and talk.”
A series of inexplicable actions successfully confused Chen Wei. His peripheral vision subconsciously flickered toward Zhang Quan behind him. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something.
But Zhou Sijin had already spoken. Even Zhang Quan, who had won countless Best Director awards, how could he dare to speak up and refute him?
With Zhang Quan’s status in the entertainment industry, where would he not be held in high regard?
But unfortunately, the person sitting in front of him today was Zhou Sijin, whom no one in the entire Northern City could afford to offend.
He could only force a smile and play along with Zhou Sijin while gaining a bit more understanding of Chen Wei’s position in Zhou Sijin’s heart.
A few days ago, Zhou Sijin suddenly contacted him, saying he wanted to invest in his next film and television drama.
He could ask for whatever amount of investment he wanted, the use of the funds was at his disposal, and he could even decide the final dividends and profits.
the only requirement was that the person for the male lead must be someone sent by Zhou Sijin.
Zhang Quan had been a director for so many years and had seen many cases of “bringing investment into the group.”
As long as it didn’t affect the quality of the drama, most of the time, he would just turn a blind eye.
But this time was different; Zhou Sijin wanted the lead.
The quality of a drama is inextricably linked to the lead’s acting skills.
Having filmed movies for so many years, Zhang Quan had his own professional ethics.
Even if there came a day when he had no dramas to film, he would never mindlessly film some “watery” or subpar dramas just to make up the numbers for the public eye.
But the conditions Zhou Sijin offered were truly tempting, and Zhang Quan couldn’t just give them up.
After multiple considerations, he proposed the idea of wanting to meet the person first before agreeing to Zhou Sijin.
Fortunately, Chen Wei’s current condition had completely exceeded his initial expectations.
At the very least, he didn’t have the affected or pretentious manner shown by certain celebrities, which already made Zhang Quan’s impression of him much better.
After all, acting skills can be honed later, but character and personality aren’t things that can be cultivated in a short time.
Quickly making a decision in his heart, Zhang Quan then stood up and walked to Chen Wei’s side.
Without waiting for Chen Wei to speak, he had already handed his business card to Chen Wei’s hand:
“This is my business card. Regarding subsequent cooperation, you are welcome to call me anytime.”
What he had agreed with Zhou Sijin today was just to bring him to meet the person.
Now that he had met the person, rather than waiting for Zhou Sijin to speak and dismiss him, it was better to be sensible and leave on his own initiative.
In any case, with Zhou Sijin there, he couldn’t have a thorough talk with Chen Wei about the script.
It was better to leave gracefully. What if Zhou Sijin became happy and wanted to invest in more of his films?
Zhang Quan left very quickly.
After handing the business card to Chen Wei, he refused his gesture of seeing him off.
He greeted Zhou Sijin and then left the room without looking back.
Until the door was closed, Chen Wei still hadn’t reacted to Zhang Quan’s sudden card-handing and departure.
Instead, Zhou Sijin looked at Zhang Quan’s departing back and lightly praised:
“He is quite sensible.”
Chen Wei looked back at him. “What do you mean?”
What did he mean?
He had wanted to ask for a long time.
Zhou Sijin’s series of reactions today had become too different from the past.
However, Zhou Sijin didn’t answer his question; he just reached out and pulled him into his arms.
It had been quite a long time since the two last parted at the hotel.
Having finally managed to call the person out in Zhang Quan’s name, Zhou Sijin naturally wouldn’t let him go back so easily.
His palm slid under the hem of Chen Wei’s wool sweater and reached his waist.
The moment the delicate and soft touch was transmitted into his brain through his palm, Zhou Sijin’s Adam’s apple couldn’t help but roll a few times.
Familiarity led him to bury his head in Chen Wei’s neck, and Zhou Sijin’s voice carried a hint of softness:
“Why haven’t you contacted me these past few days?”
“?”
Feeling that Zhou Sijin’s words were a bit biased, Chen Wei remained silent, not knowing how to answer his question.
According to their relationship, when was it his turn to speak first and contact Zhou Sijin?
As a qualified bed partner and lover, Chen Wei consistently adhered to his duties.
As long as Zhou Sijin didn’t call him, he wouldn’t take the initiative to appear before him and be annoying.
After waiting for a long time without a response to his question, Zhou Sijin finally deigned to raise his head from his neck.
He looked at Chen Wei, as if he were determined to get something out of his mouth, and his hands gradually became restless.
Chen Wei put down the business card in his hand and moved to stop him.
This was a hotel, outside.
Zhou Sijin didn’t want face, but he did.
A series of movements successfully drew Zhou Sijin’s dissatisfaction. He forcefully restrained Chen Wei’s hands that were blocking him, took a light bite of Chen Wei’s lips, and said in a suppressed voice:
“You didn’t miss me?”
Hearing this, Chen Wei blinked.
The reaction successfully fell into Zhou Sijin’s eyes, but he didn’t get angry.
He just slightly tilted his head, his nose lightly touching Chen Wei’s chin, his gaze watching him, and he cursed with a helpless yet expectant smile:
“You little heartless thing.”
