Chapter 2123: This Man, Truly Not Worry-Free

Qingkong felt that what Su Kexuan said was wrong, so he corrected her very seriously:

"I didn't belittle her; in my eyes, she really is full of flaws. If you hadn't already negotiated the deal, someone like that wouldn't even be qualified for me to film."

"So, are you using this method to protest against me?"

"I'm not protesting, and I'm working very seriously. It was that woman who came to find trouble with me."

"Is showing you goodwill considered finding trouble?"

"Yes."

Su Kexuan crossed her arms and let out a long sigh.

The person before her was truly the most straightforward, dense man she had ever met!

Being so inflexible, he would likely stir up other troubles in the future!

Su Kexuan truly appreciated Qingkong's talent.

But at this moment, she also truly had a headache because of his personality.

Rubbing her temples again, Su Kexuan said: "We still have to work together after all, don't make things too awkward."

Seeing Su Kexuan rubbing her temples continuously, Qingkong knew he had given her a headache.

Qingkong didn't want to become a burden to others, so he made a concession: "Then I'll tell her in a moment that I was just joking earlier."

"That girl is currently in a fit of anger; if you go over and say that, she might just think you're deliberately mocking her."

"Then what should I do?"

"I'll handle it. You just need to go along with what I say and chime in."

Qingkong shrugged, not objecting.

However, when Qingkong looked toward a certain spot... his expression changed.

He said to Su Kexuan with a half-smile: "You don't have to handle it, because her target is no longer on me."

Su Kexuan sensed something from Qingkong's words.

She followed the direction Qingkong was looking and turned to look back.

And then she saw... Jiang Mobai?

At this moment, Jiang Mobai also saw Su Kexuan.

He wanted to go over and talk to Su Kexuan.

But the female model blocked his path.

The female model had been in a terrible mood.

But as soon as she saw Jiang Mobai, she immediately became interested.

She began to flirt with Jiang Mobai repeatedly.

Su Kexuan also understood what Qingkong meant.

She took two looks and then withdrew her gaze.

Qingkong stood by Su Kexuan's side and commented: "This man is really not worry-free."

"He has always been like this."

"But I heard that Jiang Mobai's reputation as a playboy only took off after he went abroad."

"Before he went abroad, he was too young and his family kept him on a tight leash, so naturally, he had no opportunity."

"Then, didn't he have a girlfriend before he went abroad?"

Su Kexuan did not want to answer this question.

Frowning, she said with some impatience: "If you want to know the answer, go ask him."

"Are you sure you want me to ask him? If I ask, I don't know what kind of explosive news I might dig up."

Qingkong's words carried a hint.

Su Kexuan caught it.

This forced her to warn Qingkong: "Haven't I told you not to gossip!"

"I'm just chatting along with what you said, does that count as gossip?"

"It does, don't play word games with me!"

Qingkong sighed: "There really are so many things you don't allow."

"It's not that I'm demanding, but that you should do your job well and talk less!"

"Talk less, and you think I'm inflexible and don't understand social nuances. Sigh, working with you is truly too difficult."

Qingkong sighed again.

He even shook his head and lamented while sighing.

Su Kexuan, however, suddenly discovered that Qingkong's true nature was not actually rigid.

It wasn't that he didn't like to talk either.

It was just that he hadn't encountered a topic that interested him.

If he was interested, like now, his mind was quite active.

But...

Su Kexuan really wished that the reason he was active wasn't because of her!

The two people here were going back and forth, testing each other.

And Jiang Mobai on the other side saw it all.

This left a sour feeling in his heart.

Just as he was stunned, a pair of hands wrapped around Jiang Mobai's arm.

The female model said very considerately: "Let me support you."

Jiang Mobai immediately pulled back his arm and said distantly, "I am injured, not incapacitated."

His avoidance left the female model stunned.

The female model had heard of Jiang Mobai before and knew he was a playboy.

As long as the woman's appearance wasn't too sorry, he would never turn anyone away.

But why was he like this toward her...

The female model was very unconvinced.

She still wanted to flirt with Jiang Mobai.

As a result, the female model discovered that Jiang Mobai was looking at Su Kexuan.

The female model knew that Su Kexuan was very outstanding and also very beautiful.

But they were simply people on two different tracks, with no chance of competition.

Yet at this moment, the female model felt a sense of crisis.

Her speech also began to be laced with sarcasm: "Mr. Jiang, do you highly appreciate people with strong work capabilities?"

Jiang Mobai gave an absent-minded "Mm."

"But people with work capabilities that are too strong will lose their femininity."

"Then wouldn't someone who possesses both femininity and super-strong work capabilities be a top-tier catch?"

"That is very true; then Mr. Jiang, are you talking about me?"

The female model felt very good about herself.

This made Jiang Mobai frown uncomfortably.

He finally looked squarely at the woman in front of him and asked, "You... what did you just say your name was?"

"My name is Xiao Qian."

After saying her name, Xiao Qian winked at the person in charge of the talent agency.

The person in charge took the opportunity to praise her: "Our Xiao Qian is very outstanding, has won countless awards, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her a career woman."

A career woman?

Jiang Mobai looked at the model who was frequently flirting with him and said, "You all seem to have some misunderstanding about the three words 'career woman'."

"It is you who has the misunderstanding; it's not that only those who are stern and humorless are career women. Being meticulous toward work and liking one's career more than anything else—that is a career woman!"

After hearing the model's explanation, Jiang Mobai was even more certain that this woman was just pretending to understand what she didn't!

A true career woman should be like Su Kexuan.

But...

What on earth is she chatting about with Qingkong.

Why won't she come over and pay attention to him!

Jiang Mobai was a little angry.

Thinking that the female model had worked with Qingkong, he asked, "Is that photographer a person who is very interesting to talk to?"

This question practically stepped on the female model's landmine!

She first let out a cold snort, then took the opportunity to slander Qingkong: "His skill level isn't much, but he does like to pester pretty girls!"

The other party's words made Jiang Mobai knit his brows: "Are you serious?"

"Of course, he is no saint; just now when he was taking photos of me, he was always verbally harassing me!"

The female model spoke with great certainty.

But Jiang Mobai always felt that Qingkong was not the kind of person she described.

In order to obtain more information, Jiang Mobai asked her: "How did Qingkong harass you?"

"Oh my, how could I be embarrassed to say that!"

The female model did not want to talk about Qingkong anymore.

She looked at Jiang Mobai shyly and extended an invitation to him: "After the event ends, let's go have a drink together."

"Sorry, I have injuries on my body and cannot drink alcohol."

"Then we can just sit and chat, that's fine too."

The female model's flirtatious methods were all much the same.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly turned heavy, as if an invisible hand were pressing down on everyone's shoulders.
