Chapter 392: Chapter 369: Hold Off on the Puking
Shen Yeyi’s agent was a bit hesitant: “This… might not be convenient, could we do it tomorrow…”
Shanli got angry: “Shen Yeyi, a newcomer, has this attitude towards filming, huh? Fine, let her not come to the set tomorrow! I can replace Shen Yeyi with anyone!”
Hearing this, Shen Yeyi’s agent also started to get a bit scared: “Don’t… I’ll go wake Ye Yi up now and call you back later, but Ye Yi is indeed not feeling well, can Shanli be a bit quicker with the discussion?”
Shanli snorted coldly: “We’ll see!”
Listening to the call ending on Shen Yeyi’s agent’s side, Shanli finally let out a long breath, looking at Ji Xizhi across from her, who was using her phone to read scripts to her.
“Help, this is the first time I’ve been so blatantly bullying someone!!!”
“If my fans find out about these few sentences, they could squeeze out three pounds of oil!”
Shanli covered her chest and belatedly gagged.
Ji Xizhi: “Don’t gag yet, you still need to drag this out with Shen Yeyi for about an hour, during which you can just talk about the plot, can you do it?!”
Shanli swallowed a breath: “No problem, as long as you don’t make me play a greasy boss, I could talk to her for three hours straight.”
Ji Xizhi then nodded, starting to arrange the next steps.
Shen Yeyi is different from her. Back then, she could directly fall out with Hangxing Entertainment because she was unconcerned and didn’t want to stay in the entertainment industry.
But Shen Yeyi is different; she wants to stay in the entertainment industry.
So reputation is very important to Shen Yeyi.
Ji Xizhi wants to bring down Hangxing Entertainment, and regardless of who it involves today, she will step in to help. And if it’s within her capacity to preserve Shen Yeyi’s reputation, even though she’s not familiar with Shen Yeyi, she’s willing to make an effort.
Ji Xizhi was frantically plotting with Shanli on this side.
Over at the hotel, when Shen Yeyi called Shanli, she was also baffled.
What did Shanli want to talk to her about? Change the plot? That’s impossible, Director Jin clearly told her to rest well in the afternoon and didn’t mention anything about altering the plot, which is a big deal.
Shen Yeyi dialed Shanli’s number in confusion.
On Shanli’s end, she really started talking to her about the plot. Even though Shanli is the chief writer and investor of the crew, Shen Yeyi, despite being in a bad mood, listened patiently.
But as she listened, she felt something was amiss. What Shanli was saying was clearly already covered on set.
Was he calling specifically to emphasize this?
Well, let it be, Shen Yeyi looked up at President Chen, who was old enough to be her father sitting across from her, hoping Shanli could drag things out a bit longer.
The call lasted more than an hour, and President Chen, from being patient at the start, gradually grew impatient in the end.
Shen Yeyi’s agent accompanied him with a smile, finally hanging up the phone when President Chen’s patience wore out.
Seeing Shen Yeyi hang up the call, President Chen’s face lit up with a smile again.
Under the threat and urging of Shen Yeyi’s agent, Shen Yeyi clenched her fist and followed President Chen into the elevator.
Shen Yeyi knew she had no choice this time.
She watched the elevator doors slowly close, and Ji Xizhi’s image flashed before her eyes.
Before meeting President Chen, she had a moment where she wished she could be like Ji Xizhi, having the ability and confidence to overthrow everything, but ultimately, she couldn’t do it.
She thought, it wasn’t that she didn’t like Ji Xizhi, but she feared standing beside Ji Xizhi.
Ji Xizhi was too dazzling, which made her feel overwhelmingly inferior.
Shen Yeyi’s eyes turned slightly red.
But just as she was lost in her thoughts, the elevator doors really opened.
President Chen, embracing Shen Yeyi by the waist, was about to speak when a familiar face entered.
“Sorry, I can’t hold it any longer, can we join?”
Shen Yeyi stared at the elevator entrance, where Ji Xizhi, holding a drunken man in a suit in her arms, appeared, causing Shen Yeyi’s pupils to quake.
Because she was so shocked, Shen Yeyi didn’t even care that President Chen was beside her and blurted out a question:
“Ji Xizhi?! You…”
She wanted to ask why Ji Xizhi was here and why she was with a man whose face couldn’t be seen clearly but whose protruding belly was evident from his physique.
But before she could speak, she held back.
After all, wasn’t she here with President Chen?
Shen Yeyi didn’t say anything further.
But President Chen beside her suddenly became interested upon seeing Ji Xizhi.
Ji Xizhi looked exceptionally good, usually without makeup, and now with a light makeup on her face, speaking in a warm, gentle voice, her cheeks flushed, she bewitched half of President Chen’s soul at once.
President Chen loved to play with newcomers in the entertainment industry.
Otherwise, Hangxing Entertainment wouldn’t have found him at this time; Shen Yeyi was indeed quite pretty, but compared to Ji Xizhi, she lacked a certain gloss.
President Chen: “Come in, come in, of course you can join!”
While speaking, President Chen pulled Shen Yeyi further into his arms, provoking another wave of nausea in Shen Yeyi.
Ji Xizhi almost dragged the man into the elevator. Once inside, she glanced at the buttons already pressed.
“What a coincidence, we’re on the same floor.”
Ji Xizhi, while saying this, also looked at President Chen.
It was just a simple wink.
This was something Shanli had urgently taught Ji Xizhi from one of her own scripts.
Although Ji Xizhi’s performance was not quite right, it was enough for President Chen, who was blinded by beauty.
President Chen happily let go of Shen Yeyi’s waist and moved closer to Ji Xizhi.
“Meeting like this must be fate. This is the first time I’m meeting you, Zhi Zhi! What’s this…”
President Chen spoke, his eyes glancing toward the drunken man Ji Xizhi was supporting.
Ji Xizhi smiled with a hint of disdain: “Mr. Shan got drunk, and I’m helping him back to the hotel.”
President Chen wanted to take a closer look: “Mr. Shan, from which company? I thought you weren’t signed with an agency…”
The man on Ji Xizhi’s shoulder suddenly retched, and the stench of alcohol quickly spread.
President Chen was so disgusted he didn’t want to get near.
Ji Xizhi looked even more pitiable and forced herself to glance at the wet spot on her shoulder, gritting her teeth: “Mr. Shan from Meng’an Technology, I’m not signed yet, but I’ve already discussed it with Deep Sea Interactive Entertainment and am about to sign.”
“Deep Sea Interactive Entertainment, ha~”
Taking advantage of Deep Sea Interactive Entertainment’s name, Ji Xizhi immediately drew a sneer from President Chen.
“I used to think Ji Tingzhou was someone special, but it turns out he’s just leaned on someone else because he wouldn’t even gift a newcomer back then!”
President Chen muttered lowly, spat twice, and then shifted his sleazy gaze back to Ji Xizhi.
“I see you’re having a hard time. I have some spare clothes of my wife’s in my room. Would you want to come to my room to change?”
Upon hearing this, Shen Yeyi beside him was suddenly alarmed.
More terrified than when she heard about Mr. Shan from Meng’an Technology, she stood behind President Chen, winking madly at Ji Xizhi, signaling her not to agree.
Ji Xizhi caught Shen Yeyi’s signal but ignored it. Instead, mimicking Shen Yeyi, she blinked a few times, hesitated, and looked at President Chen: “But Mr. Shan here…”
President Chen waved it off: “You can drop him in a room and come back, can’t you?”
Ji Xizhi’s shoulders began to tremble slightly: “But, I’m all covered in vomit…”
As she spoke, her hand started to shake, as if about to hand the man on her shoulder over to President Chen.
Smelling the overwhelming stench, President Chen took a big step back.
“Ugh…” President Chen’s face turned green.
