"What?"
Ye Yizhou asked casually.
"You!"
He Sipei answered without thinking, "You already generate plenty of buzz. Just standing there, you draw as much attention as the project, if not more. If your relationship with President Yan gets exposed too, do you think anyone will still care about the project?"
"Judging by the timing, did this project come about because you two got married? So yours is a business marriage?"
As He Sipei followed his train of thought, everything suddenly became clear.
Ye Yizhou smiled meaningfully.
"If that gets out, won't the project itself get even less attention?"
"Yes, so what are we going to do?" Ye Yizhou agreed, looking rather troubled.
"That's easy. Appear together less and nip the rumors in the bud. You're business partners in a marriage of convenience, anyway. Not seeing or contacting each other for six months or a year would be perfectly normal."
He Sipei immediately came up with a brilliant idea and felt none of this was a problem.
"Mm, I think you have a very good point."
Ye Yizhou nodded in agreement. "You're the smart one. Let's do that, then!"
"In that case, let's hold the casting at our company. That way, Yizhou won't look too out of place or draw too much attention by being here."
Liu Jiangzhou offered a timely suggestion of his own. "And it won't provoke too much unnecessary discussion."
"You're the professional when it comes to casting, Director Liu. Choose as you see fit. I can drop by occasionally, or if that's inconvenient, I won't come. Your convenience comes first. Don't worry about me. I'm fine."
Ye Yizhou looked as though he was putting the bigger picture first, with no consideration for himself at all.
Such selflessness was truly moving.
But He Sipei remained clearheaded and couldn't
