Chapter 124 Wang Bo can do more than just sing and write songs
The Su sisters live in a large, single-level apartment.
Su Xiaoxiao and her sister sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the large apartment, with the lights of thousands of homes in Lin'an visible outside.
The atmosphere was somewhat silent, a stark contrast to the relaxed atmosphere of chatting with Wang Bo tonight.
"That's her home. The bedroom, the walk-in closet, the dressing table... all of them are her personal belongings. Letting a man live there, this..." Su Xiaoxiao spoke first.
Having known Zhou Yuji for so many years, she seems carefree and easygoing, able to get along with anyone, but she actually has a very strong sense of boundaries in her private life.
Even the Su sisters couldn't stay overnight at her house, let alone allow men to stay there.
Before her sister could reply, Su Xiaoxiao chuckled self-deprecatingly, "We try every possible way to find resources and pave the way for our company's artists, but we never thought about how to help them with their accommodation. Now we're letting an outsider arrange it, and they're even staying at her house. Sis, what kind of nonsense is this?"
Su Yiyi was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Xiaoxiao, you're not just concerned about the accommodation, are you?"
Su Xiaoxiao confessed, "Yes, I do care. Wang Bo is currently our Xiaoyi Culture's top artist, and his career planning and life arrangements should be our responsibility. But now, Zhou Yuji, a former boss who has already closed her company and said she wants to travel the world, is remotely directing him from thousands of kilometers away, letting him live in her house. What's going on here? Isn't that overstepping her bounds?"
The more she spoke, the more aggrieved she felt: "Sister, don't forget, when Yu Ji arranged that blind date, she said it was to introduce me to someone, but actually she just wanted to get rid of Wang Bo, this 'burden,' on me. Now that Wang Bo has become successful and a promising prospect, she's back again? Her scheme is so cunning, even I, a shrewd businesswoman, want to cry!"
Su Yiyi sighed softly: "Yu Ji probably didn't think that much about it. It's just her personality; she wanted to be good to Wang Bo."
"Didn't think that much about it?" Su Xiaoxiao glanced at her sister. "My silly sister, are you really that clueless or just pretending? Who is Zhou Yuji? If she truly had no feelings for someone, would she have given up her entire base?"
As she spoke, her tone became serious: "Sister, I'm not telling you this to gossip, but to remind you. Wang Bo isn't the obscure singer he used to be; he's a shining gem. Talent, character, looks, audience appeal, even cultural depth—he has it all. No shortage of people are eyeing a man like that. Yu Ji has clearly realized her mistake and wants to reap the rewards."
Su Yiyi pursed her lips, her fingers twisting together: "So what... so what? It's Wang Bo's freedom to be with whomever he wants."
"It's his freedom, that's true." Su Xiaoxiao's tone became serious, "But sister, ask yourself honestly, is your feeling for Wang Bo really just that of a boss appreciating an artist?"
Su Yiyi didn't answer, but blushed and turned her head to look out the window, using silence to replace her answer.
Su Xiaoxiao sighed, "Sister, I can tell you like him. Wang Bo definitely has feelings for you too. But now Zhou Yuji has suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and she's his former boss and a stunning beauty who was once very kind to him, has a fiery personality, and acts unconventionally. Compared to her, your gentle, slow-moving style is at a disadvantage!"
"I..." Su Yiyi's voice was very soft, "I don't want to compare myself with anyone. When it comes to relationships, I'll just let things take their natural course."
"Let nature take its course?" Su Xiaoxiao almost wanted to crack open her sister's head to see if it was filled with musical notes. "My dear sister, in the entertainment industry, everyone wants to fight over good things, and the same goes for good men! You're saying 'let nature take its course'? When Yu Ji comes back from the Western Regions and storms back into her house, how many times do you think Wang Bo can withstand it?"
Su Yiyi was flustered by her sister's words, and Zhou Yuji's bright and flamboyant smile and her confident and seductive demeanor when she spoke involuntarily appeared in her mind.
Thinking about myself... it seems that besides making soup, caring about his voice, and quietly listening to him sing, there's really nothing particularly memorable about me.
"Then... what should I do?" Su Yiyi finally turned her head, her eyes filled with confusion and a hint of anxiety.
Su Xiaoxiao felt relieved to see that her older sister was starting to understand, but she also felt a little sorry for her.
Her older sister has been immersed in the world of music since childhood, and her romantic experience is as simple as a blank sheet of paper. It would be difficult for her to take the initiative to pursue anything.
"No need to be too deliberate," Su Xiaoxiao's tone softened. "It's just... create more opportunities for us to be alone. Don't always act like it's business. Wang Bo likes music, right? You can talk more about music, about creation, you could even invite him to a concert, or collaborate on something together. In short, make him feel that you're not only his music confidante and boss, but also a woman with whom he can share his inner world and have a common language."
Su Yiyi listened attentively, nodding gently, her cheeks still flushed.
Su Xiaoxiao then remembered something and said, "Oh right, I talked to Chen Mo to find out about Wang Bo's work in the recording studio. Guess what Chen Mo told me?"
"What did you say?"
"He said that Wang Bo's brain is like a pocket from another dimension," Su Xiaoxiao said with amazement. "Besides writing songs, when he's resting, he'll doodle story outlines and even script fragments on paper. Chen Mo has seen it a few times and was blown away by his talent."
Su Yiyi's eyes widened: "A script? Wang Bo can write scripts?"
"According to Chen Mo, it wasn't just something he wrote casually." Su Xiaoxiao recalled Chen Mo's excited description at the time. "Chen Mo's exact words were: 'President Su, any one of Wang Bo's ideas, if properly polished, could be a blockbuster film or TV series!'"
Su Yiyi's eyes sparkled: "He really... always manages to surprise people."
"It's more than just a surprise." Su Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed with shrewdness. "Sister, our Xiaoyi Culture Media will definitely be investing in the film and television industry in the future. If Wang Bo really has screenwriting talent, that's like a treasure fallen from the sky! Music + film and television, walking on two legs, his commercial value can multiply several times over!"
She became more and more excited as she spoke: "So, sister, you see, Wang Bo's value far exceeds our initial expectations. We must firmly bind someone like him to Xiaoyi Culture's chariot. And feelings are one of the most solid ways to bind people together. I'm not saying you should use feelings, but since you two have feelings for each other, why can't you take it a step further? This is good for the company and for you personally."
Su Yiyi's heart raced as her sister delivered a series of analyses.
I felt proud of Wang Bo's talent, but also a little uncomfortable with the "strategic" considerations in my sister's words. But more than anything, I felt a sense of tension and anticipation as I was being pushed forward.
