After the staff meeting at Woodpecker, Li Yang walked out of the conference room, took out his phone, and scrolled through Irina's phone number. He was ready to ask his current girlfriend out to enjoy some alone time.
Just as Li Yang was on the phone, the sound of high heels could be heard, accompanied by a fragrance.
" Boss…" Si Jiali appeared behind Li Yang. Her long hair draped over her shoulders, and her temperament was gentle and charming. Her dark blue eyes were blooming with silver splendor. Her light red spaghetti strap dress complemented her perfect figure, and her pair of white high heels made her look extremely tall.
" A 22-year-old widowed sister…" Li Yang's expression was strange, and his eyes flickered rapidly. He was wondering why Scarlet was looking for him.
In 2005, Si Jiali wasn't the future Black Widow. She hadn't joined Marvel Studios yet, nor had she become an A-list actress in Hollywood.
Although Scarlet had acted in her first movie at the age of eight and was considered a child star, without the big label of Black Widow, she could only be considered a third-rate female star.
Looking at the young widowed sister who was standing respectfully in front of him, Li Yang sized her up for a while. After looking at her from head to toe, he smiled and asked,"Scarlet, is there something you need from me?”
" Boss, I…" Scarlet opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
Two days ago, Woodpecker Entertainment's four comic-based movies had caused a stir. According to the company's announced plans, the female lead of the superhero movie, Black Widow, had not been decided yet.
As the only female movie star signed by Woodpecker at this stage, Si Jiali was naturally very tempted and wanted to get this role.
It was precisely because of this that Si Jiali followed after Li Yang ended the meeting. She wanted to fight for herself. It didn't matter even if she had to sacrifice something, as long as she could get this opportunity.
Si Jiali had a feeling that if she could get the role of Black Widow, it would be her only hope to break away from being a C-list female celebrity.
"How should I put it?" Si Jiali stared at Li Yang's handsome face and quickly thought to herself.
Having been in Hollywood for so many years, Si Jiali knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. If you wanted to get something, you had to pay for it.
Although she was the only female star signed by Woodpecker at this stage and was highly valued, Black Widow was a big investment film. This was a role that many Hollywood female stars wanted to fight for.
Under such circumstances, there were too many candidates for the role of Black Widow. If she did not take the initiative to fight for herself, she might end up with someone else.
Seeing that Si Jiali did not speak for a long time, Li Yang smiled and said,""If you have something to say, say it. If there's nothing else, I have to go first.”
" Boss, wait a moment…" Scarlet caught up with him again. A charming smile hung on her beautiful face as she said,""Boss, are you free tonight? I want to treat you to dinner!"
" Treat me to dinner..." Li Yang was greatly surprised as he tried to guess Scarlet's motive.
Very quickly, Li Yang reacted. He knew that Scarlet was most likely here because of the Black Widow character.
As an actress, there was no female star who would not want to fight for a role like Black Widow, which was a movie with a large investment and a female protagonist.
Originally, Li Yang had already decided that Scarlet would be the candidate, but he had not announced it yet.
Who would have thought that in just a few days, Scarlet would be unable to resist the urge to fight for this role?
Since Scarlet wanted to treat him to a meal, Li Yang didn't reject her offer. He was silent for a moment before replying,""I have nothing to do tonight. Tell me the time and place!”
"Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, 9 o'clock!”Scarlet's beautiful eyes blinked as she hurriedly told him the time and place.
"Inside the hotel. It's still 9 o'clock!" Li Yang's eyelids twitched. He was surprised by the time and place.
If he was in the hotel, he felt that he might be able to experience the legendary hidden rules tonight.
Thinking of this, Li Yang took a step forward and smiled at Scarlet. He said with some anticipation,""I'll be there on time!"
Faced with Li Yang's gaze, Scarlet's face turned slightly red and her breathing quickened. Everyone was an understanding person. Some things did not need to be so obvious. They would understand with just a little bit of advice.
After a while, Scarlet's expression returned to normal and she smiled sweetly.""Boss, you go ahead. I'll leave first!”
After saying this, Scarlet's footsteps were hurried, leaving only a fragrant wind behind.
Looking at Scarlet's disappearing figure, Li Yang stroked his chin and muttered to himself thoughtfully,""When you have power and influence, those so-called goddesses are far more proactive than you think!”
Then, Li Yang walked toward his office.
"Chairman!" Outside the office, Li Yang's beautiful secretary, Wang Jing, stood up and greeted him.
"I'm going to California's Silicon Valley tomorrow afternoon for a few days. If anything happens to the company, call me!”Li Yang instructed and roughly explained his schedule.
Smith had already arranged a meeting with Markberg the day after tomorrow. Facebook's headquarters was in Silicon Valley, California, where American Internet companies gathered.
"Silicon Valley, California. Could it be that the chairman wants to invest in an internet company?”Wang Jing instantly thought of this possibility. She then smiled and nodded, indicating that she understood.
A few minutes after he entered his office, Li Yang's phone rang, and Irina's number appeared on the screen.
" It's hard to choose between the two…" Li Yang did not answer the phone immediately. He muttered to himself with a headache.
It was obvious that Irina was calling him for a date, and Li Yang had already accepted Scarlet's invitation to dinner.
" I can't go back on my word. Besides, Irina is too unstable, and there's no possibility of her advancing further for the time being. However, Scarlet is different…" Li Yang pursed his lips into a smile and answered the call."My dear Irina, did you miss me?”
On the other end of the phone, Irina was sitting on the sofa with an elegant and charming posture. She covered the phone with her hand and giggled."Darling, I want to hear your kiss!”
Hearing that, Li Yang did as he was told and hummed into the phone.
Elina was very satisfied with Li Yang's reaction and got to the point.""Honey, are you free tonight?”
" My dear Irina, I'm very sorry. I won't be free for tonight or even the next few days…" Li Yang replied helplessly.
"God, you're so annoying!" Irina humphed coquettishly to express her displeasure.
Since Li Yang didn't say why he wasn't free, Irina didn't want to ask. After all, everyone had their own personal space. Moreover, Li Yang was at a critical stage of his career, so it was understandable that he was a little busy.
"When I'm done with my work, your Guardian Knight will report to you every day!”Li Yang smiled.
" Remember what you said…" Irina hung up the phone with a sullen expression.
