“Lin Weiwei, this is my job. What right do you have to decide for me? You crazy woman…”
Just as he mustered up the courage to shout out those two words, Ai Wei was scared speechless by the shiny fruit knife in Shen Xiaoxiao’s hand.
But he was indeed extremely uncomfortable. It was fine if his life was disrupted, but why did this woman have to interfere in his work? Was it enough just because she was beautiful?
He had seen many beautiful women. There was no shortage of beautiful women in the entertainment industry. This ugly woman, ugly woman…
As a reincarnated person, Shen Xiaoxiao, who had lived through extremely difficult times with the accompaniment of television and movies, naturally knew how popular this historical costume drama was back then.
Although this palace struggle looked like an unpopular television show, the effects it produced later on had reached a new height in the whole of China.
As for the idol drama that Ai Wei wanted to choose, what overbearing CEO? Although it was currently popular, when it was compared to this costume drama later on, it was simply abused to the point of dropping to the ground.
Moreover, the zero negative rating of that court drama back then was rare all over the world. When it was introduced abroad, it caused a wave of heat.
Shen Xiaoxiao could still remember the few main actors at that time, especially the male lead who had squeezed into the domestic first-tier position and was doing it steadily. Shen Xiaoxiao would also help Ai Wei in return for such a good opportunity.
Although Ai Wei’s computer was occupied by Shen Xiaoxiao, who asked Shen Xiaoxiao to see the email without a doubt?
Ai Wei was extremely unhappy, but under Shen Xiaoxiao’s coercion… He still tried his best to persuade Shen Xiaoxiao, “Sister Weiwei, you don’t know about the things in our circle. You don’t usually watch TV, and now it’s popular to be an overbearing CEO. The company also groomed me like this. This sudden need to accept ancient costumes… And it’s such an unpopular subject. No matter how good the plot is, if the ratings don’t go up, then everything I’ve worked hard for will be easily ruined.”
Shen Xiaoxiao knew what he meant, but she couldn’t tell Ai Wei that she knew how popular this movie would be. She could only maintain her cold demeanor and said to Ai Wei, “You’ve already agreed. You can’t change it. By the way, I asked your manager to sign the contract. He doesn’t have your seal. I even sent him an authorization letter.”
“What? Lin Weiwei, you’ve gone too far.”
This time, Ai Wei really exploded. Who did this Lin Weiwei think she was? She actually wanted to interfere in his own business?
“Kid, we’ll see in four months whether this drama is popular or not. When that time comes, don’t come crying to me and beg.”
Shen Xiaoxiao’s confident look made Ai Wei somewhat uncertain. He was a person who could read people’s expressions and also read people. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so persecuted by Shen Xiaoxiao back then. He knew that Shen Xiaoxiao’s background was definitely not simple. Not only did she dress like an international brand, but she was also very magnanimous when it came to eating and doing things. Ordinary people would not be able to learn that.
Although she had been shamelessly using his own card to pay the bills, Ai Wei did not say a word. He thought that he would be able to receive some good karma and have more options in the future.
Now, Shen Xiaoxiao was so sure. What was she relying on?
“Sister Weiwei, who exactly are you?”
This should be the first time Shen Xiaoxiao heard Ai Wei ask who she was after living here for 10 days.
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at him and said straightforwardly, “A bad person.”
Ai Wei choked on her words. A bad person? Of course she was a bad person or a demon. What he wanted to know was her identity.
“Keep your thoughts to yourself. I won’t harm you. I might even be able to help you. Of course, the prerequisite is that I can take care of my two babies first.”
Ai Wei stood there in a daze for a long time. After a while, he turned around and went back to read the script. He suddenly felt like giving it a try. He didn’t know why, but he felt that Lin Weiwei wouldn’t harm him. Otherwise, she could have killed him at the beginning and left him undetected, but she didn’t do that.
Ai Wei had no idea that he had been tortured by Shen Xiaoxiao. No, he was making excuses for himself.
When his manager knocked on the door, Shen Xiaoxiao was sitting in the living room drinking tea. She didn’t get up. She watched as Ai Wei came out of the kitchen in an apron, holding a kitchen knife in his hand. She didn’t even blink.
“Sister Weiwei, can I open the door? It must be my manager.”
“Open it.”
She had been hiding here for almost half a month and had not left the house. Shen Xiaoxiao did not think that anyone would come to the door of this big star. Of course, his manager was the exception.
“Hey, Ai Wei, why did you choose that period drama? Are you sure? That modern drama was paired with the popular actress Shu Shu. She has always been filming hand-held television and has not even started filming yet. The attention of the people in this country has already exploded. It was so rare for me to fight for this, but you actually did not want it. You… Eh, there is someone else?”
As soon as his manager, Ala, entered the room, he started chattering. He only stopped talking when he saw Shen Xiaoxiao sitting on the sofa.
When he turned his head, he saw that Ai Wei was actually wearing an apron and holding a kitchen knife as he prepared to cook. He was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.
“You, you, you, you are actually cooking.”
“No, why can’t I cook?”
Ala opened his mouth and looked at the silent woman on the sofa. For a moment, he felt that this scene was a little strange. What was going on?
“I will sign the ancient costume movie. Give me the contract, and I will sign it. I will join the production team in two days.”
Ai Wei did not have the patience for his manager. He took the manager’s bag and took out the contract to sign. Ala could not stop him even if he wanted to. He knew how stubborn this young master was and he would not listen to his advice at all. Fortunately, he had a firm foothold now, but his position had been hovering between the B-list and A-list.
Originally, he had wanted Ai Wei to take over the first-tier position in this drama, but now that he had made such a choice, he really could not put his finger on it. How many people had fought for that position? How could Ai Wei be so muddle-headed?
“Come on, please. You know how my temper is. Don’t you see that you only brought this one contract here?”
Shen Xiaoxiao’s back was always facing Ala, so Ala could not see what Shen Xiaoxiao looked like. Of course, she had no intention of turning back either. This made Ala even more curious.
“Who is that?”
Ai Wei knew that Ala was asking about Shen Xiaoxiao, but he could not tell anyone about Shen Xiaoxiao. If there was a hint of coercion in the past, he was now used to Shen Xiaoxiao’s existence. That was because even if she threatened him occasionally, she had never really hurt him. The key was that he was an orphan. He had no parents since he was young.
Now that there was someone at home, and it was a woman and children, although it was noisy, it really made him feel inexplicably warm. So, he did not want to ruin the atmosphere so quickly, even if Shen Xiaoxiao had said that she would leave.
“That’s my girlfriend.”
“What?”
“What did you say?”
