Chapter 908: CEO Pei is Quite Strict (1)
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Lian Zi was truly envious.
So when she saw Ji Xi in a daze, she wondered if a girl like Ji Xi, who was pure and self-disciplined, would have any troubles in life.
Her answer was no.
Some people were born with a melancholic aura.
Lian Zi was really curious about Ji Xi. “Have you never gone through puberty?”
JiXi: ‘
Lian Zi realized that she had asked this question without any context. “I mean, have you ever been so rebellious and wanted to do something unorthodox?”
Ji Xi was silent for a while before answering, “yes.” “I don’t believe it,” Lian Zi said with a smile.
“It’s true.” Ji Xi shifted her gaze from her toes to her.
She answered very seriously, and her eyes did not waver at all. Lian Zi was stunned. “Can you give me an example?”
“I…” Ji Xi suddenly choked.
After a moment of silence, she said awkwardly, “last year, I went to a bar on
New Year’s Eve…l was photographed by a reporter…”
Lian Zi looked at her, six black dots popping out of her forehead.
The next second, she burst out laughing.
What did she say?
She was indeed a good baby!
She almost believed Ji Xi just now.
“Is that considered rebellion?” Lian Zi said, “you’ve never seen a real rebel!!”
Ji Xi looked at her toes again and smiled bitterly.
Actually, she was the one who envied Lian Zi.
Lian Zi was able to openly reveal her past and everything she had in front of everyone, without holding anything back.
As for her…what the people around her saw now was just an illusion. It was her despicable and hypocritical disguise. In reality, she had been doing the most rebellious and deviant things that no one could imagine.
She was a “deviant” in the true sense…
In the end, when Su Ji hung up, the call duration showed that it had been an hour.
Su Ji:
The phone was burning hot in her palm. The battery that Ai Yan had charged was now less than 10%.
Moreover, half of the time had already passed.
Very good.
Pei Huai’s tone was gentle on the phone just now. He only said words of concern for her and the topics that the two of them would usually talk about. He did not even mention Nan Miaomiao’s name once.
However, Su Ji decided after the call…she would never help Nan Miaomiao again.
How did the black-bellied CEO do it?
No one knows
Su Ji had disappeared from the venue for an hour. The actors, led by Zhu Yiyi, seized the opportunity to network for themselves. However, when Su Ji reappeared, she easily became the focus of everyone’s attention.
Those who came to look for her just now saw that she had finally finished the call and surrounded her again.
Zhu Yiyi had finally managed to get herself into the center of the social circle, but before she could show off, the number of people around her instantly decreased by half.
Nan Miaomiao touched Su Ji’s shoulder. There was a hidden meaning in her words. “CEO Pei is quite strict.”
Su Ji’s expression did not look too good. She warned in a low voice, “shut up.” Nan Miaomiao groaned.
Yan Gaoqiu also came to chat with Su Ji for a while. During the process, the three bodyguards behind Su Ji kept an eye on him.
Yan Gaoqiu lowered his head to look at the muscles on his body, then at the bulging chest muscles. He narrowed his eyes.
How did he train?
Drinking nitrogen pump?
Zhu Yiyi’s surroundings turned cold. Su Ji seemed to have a magnet on her. The moment she appeared, she sucked away all her popularity.
Zhu Yiyi angrily went to the dining area and ate a piece of Hokkaido style Baumuke. She then put the plate aside.
“Everything about today’s press conference is good. It’s just that the celebrities are too friendly…”
The two reporters were chatting as they picked their dishes.
The voice drifted into Zhu Yiyi’s ears, and she turned her body sideways.
“The production team doesn’t lack explosive points, so of course, they don’t need to rely on the B-list battle to gain eyeballs.”
“But you have to think from another angle. Wouldn’t it be even more explosive if they did?”
“You’re right. No matter how explosive it is to form a couple, it’s not as much news as tearing up a b * tch for us reporters.”
“That’s right. There are so many actresses in this movie. I even thought of a draft before I came. Who knew that I wouldn’t need it at all?” As the two of them spoke, their voices suddenly stopped.
Zhu Yiyi looked over. The two of them were looking in her direction.
Obviously, they noticed that she was eavesdropping, so they didn’t say anything.
Zhu Yiyi smiled generously.
But the reporters didn’t smile back. They looked at her, then at each other, and quickly left.
Zhu Yiyi’s smile turned awkward.
She watched as the two reporters left her place and went straight to Su Ji’s place. Su Ji had bodyguards behind her, so they could not get close. They were still waiting by the side, waiting for an opportunity to follow her and take photos.
Zhu Yiyi stood in front of them, yet they did not take a picture, but they wanted to take a picture of Su Ji. Zhu Yiyi stood there for a while to calm down. It was only when Liang Ruifeng came over that she felt less awkward.
“Today’s venue is so beautifully decorated.” She crossed her arms behind her back and said pretentiously, “looking at these scenes reminds me of when we were filming.”
Liang Ruifeng nodded gratefully. “Yiyi, you’re so nostalgic.”
He had changed into an ancient-style suit, and now he looked even more scholarly.
He wanted to take a piece of cake, but he noticed an empty plate. There was cake on the fork. There was a sink beside it, but it was put on the table.
“Who’s so uncultured?” He pinched the fork with his index finger and thumb and pushed the empty plate into the sink in disgust. His orchid fingers were raised. “I didn’t expect such an uncultured person to appear on an occasion like today.”
Zhu Yiyi’s lips twitched awkwardly. “Yes, how annoying. If you know who she is, you have to teach her a good lesson.”
“We won’t know who she is,” Liang Ruifeng said casually. He put away the fork in his hand and was no longer in the mood to eat. He grabbed a few disinfectant tissues and started wiping his hands. “This kind of person will never be popular in her life.”
Zhu Yiyi didn’t want to talk anymore. She just rubbed her fingers behind her back and removed the remaining cake crumbs on her fingertips. After a long silence, Zhu Yiyi glanced at Liang Ruifeng and suddenly said,
“thank you.”
“Why?”
Zhu Yiyi smiled sweetly and explained, “when the reporters were answering questions just now, thank you for not mentioning Su Ji and Nan Miaomiao…”
