Chapter 128: What a Happy Coincidence (1)
Translator: Sissy That Walk
It was lunchtime when Di Qiuhe got He Bai’s phone call. Before he could ask when he went back, the call was passed to Xing Shaofeng.

“Hello, this is Xing Shaofeng.” A lovely male voice came through the phone, followed by the sound of a dragged-away chair and footsteps. The phone went totally silent after a few seconds, then came the male voice again, “Sorry for interrupting, but I would like to confirm some details regarding our cooperation.”

Di Qiuhe put down the chopsticks and informed the crew eating with him, and then he stood up to walk a few steps away from the table, replying the call, “It’s fine, please continue.” He knew he should behave in front of the person he was going to work in the future.

Xing Shaofeng leaned on the balcony and looked at He Bai who was in the ward fiddling with his camera, saying, “You are very brilliant and with great potential, so it is just a matter of time for you to take off. You will definitely reach the top even without me. So the first thing I need to make sure is, do you really want to hire me? The prerequisites of cooperation are mutual trust and willingness, and I don’t want our cooperation to start from reluctance.”

Di Qiuhe was quite surprised because he had thought maybe Xing Shaofeng wanted to talk about the salary issue. But he understood him right away. Their cooperation was proposed so suddenly, and it was puppy who had been communicating in between, so it was absolutely normal for him to question.

“I wanted to hire you because of Bai originally.” Since he was very honest to talk, Di would definitely not treat him casually, so he said honestly, “But after I met you for the first time last night, I changed my mind. Bai was right, I won’t regret to hire you.”

He was in a complicated situation, so he had to be cautious when choosing a manager. Before he had tried to hire someone from his team and made him his manager, but that would take more efforts.

Now that Bai had offered him an alternative, so he would love to try it for Bai’s will. But he still needed to do some investigation before the cooperation officially started. And he would never hide it, because if they couldn’t understand him in this way, then the cooperation was totally unnecessary in the first place.

Xing Shaofeng understood him and he didn’t mind. Actually he really appreciated his attitude of handling businesses like that. So he skipped this question and said, “It’s nice that we reached an agreement on something. Second question, how do you see your family? This matters to how I handle things in the future so I hope you can understand.”

It was definitely a pleasant thing to talk with smart people. Di Qiuhe smiled and replied in short, “I don’t have a family now, so you don’t need to think about it.”

Another satisfying answer.

Xing Shaofeng changed his standing pose and looked at He Bai who was “enjoying” the healthy meal with disgust, and he smiled while replied slowly, “I love that answer. Huangdu at the moment is only a burden to you and makes no benefits to your career. So one last question. Di Qiuhe, how are you going to deal with your sexuality and your love to He Bai? If you become a couple in the future, are you going to hide it or tell it to the public? Are you going to show up in public pretending you are a hetero, or you would just come out? I am sorry for asking such a private question, but I do hope you can answer me honestly. Because this will have a huge impact to your career so I need to be prepared.”


Di Qiuhe suddenly got tense and his eyes turned sharp.

He could understand why Xing Shaofeng asked him that question, but how did he find out? He was pretty sure that no one around knew his affection to He Bai. Maybe Wang Boyi noticed something but he was just too straight to think it that way. So if Xing Shaofeng could give out a question like that, then maybe Bai had noticed something and told him?

If so...he recalled that He Bai kicked him out of the room and frowned deeply.

“No one told me anything about it and He Bai didn’t notice anything either.” Xing Shaofeng acted as if he knew what he was thinking, and he explained slowly, “I just guess it from the way you treat He Bai, and those photos.”

Di Qiuhe relaxed a bit and asked in a still dark face, “Photos?”

“Yes, photos. Those photos He Bai took for you.” Xing Shaofeng realized the change of his tone so he changed as well and replied, “You can never hide the way you look at your lover. And when your lover photographs it with his camera, there comes a trace to find the love you’ve been hiding. You should be thankful that the photos are still not allowed to go public, or you are going to face countless reasonable inquiries just like mine.”

Di Qiuhe never thought that his mind would ever be disclosed to other people like that. Thinking about how He Bai took his camera with him all the time, Di felt it was quite dumbfounding so he just said without any more hiding, “Please don’t tell Bai anything about it as I don’t want his life get affected in a bad way just because of me.”

So that was his first reaction?

Xing Shaofeng found these two really interesting and replied with smile, “Just relax, I do have my principles as an honest man and work ethics as an employee. So what is your answer for my last question?”

“I’ll go public.” Di Qiuhe calmed down and he sounded more serious, “If he wants to be with me, I won’t let him get hurt.”

Xing Shaofeng felt better completely. He was super sure after the three questions that this was the boss he was looking for. He felt his life was finally getting some new hopes when he met such a wonderful couple like He Bai and Di Qiuhe, especially when he was pestered by his last boss and considering retiring at the moment.

“One million for annual pay. We can start our cooperation after you finish the current movie you are working on. I’ve prepared the contract yesterday and I will ask He Bai to give it to you after I sign it. And you can give one copy back to me when you have read all the clauses with your signature. Besides, I only start working after the payment is done, please understand.”

He asked all the questions straightforwardly and got a straightforward yes from the other side unsurprisingly, so he hung up, opening the door on the balcony to walk into the ward. He then saw He Bai who looked up at him on hearing the sound and passed him the phone, “We can start to sign the contract now.”

He Bai was so delighted hearing that. He gave him a big smile and put down his chopsticks to pick the phone. He then said happily while shaking his hand, “Happy cooperation!”
