Chapter 287 - 287 Master Pei's Face is Red
287 Master Pei’s Face is Red
The person was looking into Su Ji’s room from behind the wall. The person could not hear what they were talking about, but saw two figures reflected in the window.
They were sitting very close to each other.
One had short hair and one had long hair, pushing and shoving each other, laughing.
Then, the person took out a phone and took a few pictures.
Looking at the pictures alone, it seemed like one was pushing the other down.
On a night in the countryside, these photos were very scandalous.
Not only that, but a few minutes later, that person also took a picture of Xu Ni coming out of Su Ji’s room and Su Ji standing at the door to see him off.
“How shameless!”
The person rebuked in a low voice, full of disdain.
After the business discussion, Su Ji sent Xu Ni out with satisfaction. The moment she turned around and returned to the room, she squinted her eyes at the corner of the wall in the distance.
There was clearly something there just now, but it was gone.
She stood at the door, then went back to the room to get some water, washed her face, and went to bed.
Instead of finding out who it was, it was better to wait for the person to make the first move. It would be easier for her.
Lying on the bed, she unlocked her phone and saw Pei Huai’s WeChat message, asking her how the deal was going.
Su Ji pointed back.
[ Su Ji: “Don’t you know how powerful your girlfriend is?” ]
Pei Huai chuckled when he received the reply.

The next morning, all the roosters in the village started to crow almost at the same time.
A few minutes later, the sound of people walking around and drawing water to wash their faces could be heard.
Su Ji yawned lazily and turned over on her bed. She picked up her phone and saw that there was no news. Everything was calm as if she had seen wrong last night.
Even though she knew it wasn’t.
Pei Huai had sent her a new message this morning.
[ “Are you up?” ]
[ “Seems like you’re not.” ]
[ “It’s time to get up. Otherwise, you won’t have time to eat breakfast.” ]
[ “Tell me before you return to the city in the afternoon.” ]
Who said that Master Pei didn’t like to talk?
He was already talking to himself.
Su Ji replied.
[ “Yes, I’ll take a picture of my breakfast.” ]
[ “Good girl.” ]
Su Ji did not notice the smile on her face. She put her phone into her pocket, got out of bed, and started to wash up.
Fortunately, she was just in time for breakfast.
She did as she said and really took a picture of her breakfast. Then, for some reason, it became a video call.
She was wearing a white shirt today. It was an outfit that the team had prepared for her.
The first two buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned. He was wearing suit pants with a belt. He looked very stylish.
On the other end of the line, Pei Huai was already in the car on the way to the office. His tone was very gentle when he spoke to her, but her simple breakfast made her rich boyfriend frown.
At first, no one paid attention to her, but when she spoke, she would subconsciously soften her tone, which was different from her usual tone.
She didn’t notice when a fangirl came to her side.
“Su Ji, who are you video-calling?”
Su Ji paused for a moment and pressed the phone to her chest to block the screen from being seen, “…my dad.’
Seeing this, the fangirl knew that she had disturbed her. She smiled awkwardly and walked to the side to have her breakfast.
A few tables further away, Zhou Xuefang was staring at Su Ji with an unreadable expression.
Su Ji waited for more than a minute until everyone’s attention returned to the food. Only then did she remove the phone from her chest.
Pei Huai didn’t hang up and was still waiting.
However, his cold and pale skin looked red.
Su Ji asked, “what’s wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?”
“….”
Pei Huai’s voice was tight, deep and hoarse, “nothing. I’m almost there. Talk to you later.”
“Okay.”
Today’s scene was to be shot in the countryside.
It was winter, and the ground looked cold and dry. They could still see the layer of snow from two days ago.
During the shooting, Huang Huayu stood in the field and took a deep breath of the sweet countryside air, feeling rather emotional.
Even Han Junlei could not help but tease him, “are you homesick?”
Huang Huayu’s hometown was also in the countryside.
However, he was not like Zhou Xuefang. He was proud of his hometown. He turned to look at him with tears in his eyes. “Yeah, it’s been a long time since I last went back.”
Han Junlei smiled. He had been more soft-hearted recently, especially with Huang Huayu. The relationship between the two was not bad.
Huang Huayu then asked Su Ji, “have you tried the fruits here?”
“I ate java apples yesterday,” Su Ji said. “It’s quite sweet.”
Huang Huayu gave her a look. “Next time, I’ll bring you the ones from my hometown. They’re sweeter than the ones here!”
Su Ji had always been very interested in his hometown. “Assistant Director Huang, the soil quality in your hometown must be very good. If there’s a chance, I’d like to go with you to your hometown.”
She wanted to get some stock, but Zhou Xuefang, who was next to her, gave her a sidelong glance.
Huang Huayu laughed heartily, “it’s just that my hometown is a little far from here. Otherwise, I would have taken you guys back to my hometown for this shoot.”
When the crew heard this, they quickly chimed in, “aiya, wouldn’t it be better if we go to Assistant Director Huang’s hometown to shoot next time?”
“I also want to go!”
“Me too!”
Huang Huayu was elated, “there will be a chance next time.”
Zhou Xuefang glared at the vixens. When her phone rang, she immediately went to the side to answer it.
It was a call from Chen Jing, and her tone was filled with excitement that she had not felt for a long time.
It was as if she had won the lottery.
“Xiaoxue! You know the show ‘Evening’s Warmth’, right?”
Zhou Xuefang was expressionless, “of course. It’s Ms. Lan’s talk show that only invites superstars. It’s really popular.”
Chen Jing said, “they are going to invite one woman from each age group for an interview…”
Zhou Xuefang had been hit by a series of blows recently and she had lost her patience to listen to her, “what are you trying to say? I’m about to start filming…”
Chen Jing was patient, “the celebrity from the 25+ age group has already been decided. It’s your idol, Sonya!”
Zhou Xuefang blinked, “really? Then I’ll go back and take a look.”
However, Chen Jing had even better news. “They are still thinking about who to invite for the 20+ age group. Sonya suggested that they invite someone from Kyokushin, her alma mater…”
Zhou Xuefang’s expression was dark, “don’t tell me it’s Su Ji again?”
Chen Jing smiled, “it’s you! Sonya said she watched ‘The Billion Stars’ and specifically said she’ll give you a chance!”
Zhou Xuefang’s hand, which was still holding the phone, froze. Her eyes were ablaze.
Chen Jing continued, “I heard that the star from the 30+ age group has also been confirmed. She’s a movie queen who retired a few years ago. The director personally described her to me. A super sophisticated woman, a queen! But they wanted to keep it a secret. She’s the heavyweight guest that will only be announced on the day itself. They said that we’ll definitely go crazy when we see her. She’s a top-tier celebrity!”
Chen Jing took a deep breath, “you must grasp this opportunity!”
