Are You Two Dating?

Xie Ran froze where he stood, his mind filled with question marks.

Reply to CCTV?

What did that mean?

Had Xie Chen gotten an ad deal too?

It couldn't be such a coincidence, could it?

Could that public service ad have invited Xie Chen too?!

Impossible!

The moment the thought surfaced, he dismissed it outright.

That public service ad had already been earmarked for him. Unless... Director Li had pulled strings to force Xie Chen in!

If that was really the case, he would find evidence no matter what it took and expose it online!

"Xie Chen, you landed an ad deal so quickly?" Li Jingfei walked over and asked warmly with a smile.

It sounded as if she had said it for someone else to hear.

Sure enough, Xie Ran pricked up his ears, then quickly walked out of the monitoring room.
