Chapter 342 - 342 The Guest List
342 The Guest List
“He must be out of his mind” Xu Ni sat next to Su Ji. Su Ji’s long hair, which was pushed to the back, slipped in front of her, and was sucked into Xu Ni’s down jacket because of the static electricity.
Su Ji was still working on her phone and did not look away. She chuckled, “who?”
Xu Ni helped her tidy her hair. “Your hair smells so good,” then, she looked at the sickly figure who was walking slowly to the living room. “Him, pervert.”
Si Jingchuan touched the back of his neck in embarrassment after being scolded.
Every expression of hers was so cute that it made his heart clench. Even when she was mad, she was full of charm.
Su Ji looked at him.
She noticed it long ago.
He was a masochist and liked to be abused. The more ruthless he was abused, the more he liked it.
Xu Ni took off her cap and mask and went to the bathroom to wash her hands. Si Jingchuan’s eyes followed her and only came back to his senses when he heard his boss’s clear voice.
“Has the knot in your heart been untied?” Su Ji asked.
Si Jingchuan said, “yes. You’re indeed a god!”
“Hurry up,” Su Ji typed the last word and clicked “send”. She put her phone back onto the coffee table and leaned back. She looked at Si Jingchuan and said, “there are many people lining up to chase after Ms. Xu after she has returned to her female form.”
“What?” There was a moment when Si Jingchuan’s expression resembled Si Ke. “Who?”
“Don’t worry about them. You can’t do anything about it.” Su Ji brushed her hair and smiled. “You can only care about your own progress.”
Si Jingchuan glanced at the tightly shut bathroom door and sat down beside Su Ji, “boss, I never hide anything from you. I just think she’s quite cute, I can’t say for sure about other things.”
“Don’t worry, take your time,” Su Ji put her hands into her pockets.
He thought that his boss would definitely think of other ways to persuade him. He didn’t expect her to let it go so quickly?
When Xu Ni came out of the bathroom after washing her hands, Si Jingchuan turned on the TV guiltily.
He switched to a random channel that was airing The Billion Stars.
Their show was really popular. Si Jingchuan said, “Assistant Director Huang called me two days ago. He said that there’s an International Film Festival overseas and he’s interested in inviting us to participate.”
He turned back to look at the two of them in high spirits, but Xu Ni only replied with an “oh”.
Su Ji said, “oh okay.”
Si Jingchuan couldn’t believe that he was the first one to enter the industry and had attended the most film festivals out of the three of them!
Right now, in front of these two calm newbies, he was acting like he had never seen the world before?
Su Ji and Xu Ni were obviously not interested in this topic, and quickly talked about something else.
Aunt Wu served some cakes she baked herself, and Xu Ni took a piece. “By the way, speaking of Assistant Director Huang, I received a lot of messages on my phone today, and one of them was from him.”
Su Ji also took one. She took a bite. “Asking you if the news is true?”
Xu Ni nodded.
Yesterday, Huang Huayu and Han Junlei had been drinking until midnight, and the paparazzi’s questions did not wake them up. It was only this morning that they woke up from their drunken state. When they saw the news and remembered the questions the paparazzi asked them yesterday, they were dumbfounded.
He called Han Junlei first. Han Junlei was calmer than him, but his curiosity was strong.
He really couldn’t believe that the rebellious boy who had challenged him was actually a girl.
After some discussion, he sent Huang Huayu to find out more about the situation.
One could imagine how surprised the other people in the crew were.
Aunt Wu’s cake was orange-flavored, and it was very fragrant. It was not too sweet, and very soft, so Su Ji finished one in two bites.
It was a habit that she developed in the palace. She ate the things she liked very quickly, but it was difficult for others to persuade her to eat the food she didn’t like.
As she finished the cake, she thought of something else and asked Xu Ni, “how is your mother? My dad said that your dad said that your grandma wants him to get a divorce.”
Si Jingchuan wanted to join in the conversation when he saw that the two of them were getting more and more excited. However, he didn’t understand Su Ji’s last sentence.
However, Xu Ni understood, “last night, when I got home, my grandma was shouting. My dad didn’t say anything, but he called my mom to the room and the two of them had a long talk. I don’t know what they were talking about, but I don’t care. Now that my mom’s illness has been cured by you, she can find a better man. I don’t care about being the heir of the Xu family. I will change my name to Qin Ni.”
“Hmm?” Si Jingchuan finally interjected, “Qin Ni is a nice name.”
“Crazy,” Xu Ni muttered.
Su Ji went to the refrigerator to get the medicine that she had prepared for Si Jingchuan and his brother. Her phone, which she had left on the coffee table, lit up. It was a detailed notice from the production team of “The Cohabitation of Idols” sent by Pei Xi.
Each guest had one copy.
Xu Ni glanced at it and her eyes widened. “I know this variety show. I just saw the official poster on the way here, and I already felt that one of them is you, right?”
Su Ji admitted it.
She threw the large bottle of medicine to Si Jingchuan and sat back down to look at her phone.
Other than the other nine guests who remained mysterious, the information that was sent over included the names of all the staff members, such as the directors, the planning team, and so on. It also included an introduction of the sponsors.
There were already 31 sponsors confirmed so far, which showed how popular the show would be.
Su Ji scanned the list and saw Dong Xiyou’s name at the end of the planning team, which had a total of more than 30 people. Then, she saw a familiar name at the end of the team of directors, He Yu.
She saw him at the last class gathering. He was their class monitor. He did well in his web drama some time ago. That was why he was assigned to work on this.
Xu Ni truly admired Su Ji. She didn’t let herself be idle for even a day. After shooting The Billion Stars, she planned to give herself a few months off, but Su Ji’s next job was already in line.
As expected, money was meant for those who were prepared!
Si Jingchuan nodded calmly. “No wonder my manager asked me mysteriously the other day if I wanted to know who the first five female guests were. He must have known that you are one of them.”
That day, when Fu Xiaofeng went to Lychee TV, he happened to see them having a meeting to decide on the five female guests. He had a very close relationship with one of the people there. Moreover, he was managing male artists, so there was no conflict between them. Then, that person told him who the five female guests were and asked him to keep it a secret.
Fu Xiaofeng hadn’t told anyone. He planned to tell Si Jingchuan earlier because he was even more tight-lipped than him. However, at that time, Si Jingchuan was depressed about Xu Ni and wasn’t in the mood to listen.
For the first time, Xu Ni expressed interest in what Si Jingchuan said. She placed her hand on his knee and asked, “so, you know who the other four female artists are?”
Su Ji also looked at Si Jingchuan.
It was rare for Si Jingchuan to be noticed. He took out his phone triumphantly and said, “give me a minute. I’ll ask around for you!”
