Chapter 516: Jealousy
He Yu added half a bottle of vinegar to his spicy hotpot. He adjusted his glasses and said seriously, “it doesn’t affect us. We’re just questioned.”
Dong Xiyou’s mouth opened slightly when she saw the shocking amount of vinegar.
Su Ji and the others sued the production team. She only heard from Xu Mingzhi that the parachuting instructor who threw her into the water that day had not been found yet. As for the volcano incident, there was no doubt that the station was responsible, but they had no way of knowing how they handled the matter internally.
Su Ji twirled the chopsticks in her hand. “Who’s responsible in the end?”
Dong Xiyou said, “I heard from the seniors that seven employees will be fired. The seven employees are responsible for investigating the situation on the deserted island before the show begins…”
Cao Zhuzhu and Su Ji looked at each other.
In other words, they wanted to blame the sudden eruption of the volcano on oversight.
Seven employees had to take the blame.
Su Ji stopped eating and slammed her hand on the table. “Xiyou, you were in the Z-Sea before the volcano erupted. Did you see anything suspicious?”
“Suspicious person?” Dong Xiyou was about to shake her head when she suddenly thought of something and slowed down. She blew at the cornmeal between her chopsticks, her eyes a little unfocused.
It must just be a coincidence…
Master was usually really good to them. It was impossible for him to be that kind of person.
She couldn’t hide anything in her heart and her reaction was too obvious. He Yu and Cao Zhuzhu also looked at her.
In the end, He Yu asked first, “did you remember something?”
Dong Xiyou looked at him and hesitantly pursed her lips. However, when she thought of all the thrilling experiences Su Ji and the others had on the island, she should not hide anything.
After thinking about it, she looked up at them. “There’s something.”
‘What?”
“The day before the volcanic eruption, Liu from the planning team told me that my master had asked him to prepare some professional camera equipment that was dust-proof and heat-resistant. At that time, I thought that he was just being professional. However, when the volcanic eruption happened, the camera was useful. It transmitted the entire process of the volcanic eruption very clearly. If it wasn’t for the change of camera equipment, it might not have been able to capture it so clearly…”
“Your master.” He Yu raised his eyebrows. “Are you talking about Mr. Zhou?”
At the mention of him, He Yu’s first reaction was that it was impossible. Mr. Zhou’s reputation in the station was too good. He’s almost perfect.
Cao Zhuzhu slowly spun the wine glass in her hand. “It’s indeed a little strange, but it’s just a change of camera…it doesn’t seem to mean anything, unless…” She paused, as if she had no idea what to say.
Su Ji continued, “unless he’s a pervert and wants to admire the results of his crime up close.”
Dong Xiyou and He Yu were stunned. Cao Zhuzhu shrugged. That was what she wanted to say.
However, that was not evidence.
Su Ji did not dwell on this matter for long. She tilted her head and looked at
Dong Xiyou. “If there’s a chance, bring me to meet your master?”
Dong Xiyou nodded blankly. “Alright, I’ll find an opportunity.”
On the way back home, Pei Huai’s appearance at the spicy hotpot shop was on the news.
At first, it was a revelation from a netizen. That person posted a photo of him, Su Ji, Pei Huai, and Cao Zhuzhu on the Internet.
[ “Today is my lucky day! Can you imagine how excited I was when I bumped into CEO Pei eating spicy hotpot with his girlfriend???” ]
This netizen wanted to show off, but he didn’t expect that within ten minutes of posting it on Weibo, it would be madly liked and forwarded. It was even trending.
[ “F * ck! It’s Su Ji and Master Pei! Eating spicy hotpot? Really?” ]
This was also the first time the poster’s post was trending. He was especially happy to reply to everyone’s question.
[ “It’s true! Su Ji had extra spicy soup, while Master Pei had bone soup. There’s a picture as evidence!” ]
[ “OP, you’ve really earned a lot by taking a photo with three good-looking people! Aren’t they beautiful in person? I’m so envious of my friends who live in A City!” ]
[ “CEO Pei is so tall. Su Ji’s face is so small and fair in real life!!” ]
Later on, the comments increased, and the OP couldn’t keep up. From time to time, other enthusiastic netizens would help reply.
There were pictures.
[ “I was also there at the time. He was right! CEO Pei was sitting on the same side as Su Ji when we were eating. I even saw Su Ji secretly eating something from his bowl!” ]
[ “CEO Pei is so intimidating. He’s both gentle and strong. There were too many people taking photos and it really scared us that we bothered her. However, CEO Pei agreed to take photos with us!” ]
[ “Later, when they were leaving, I heard CEO Pei tell Su Ji that he would bring her here again if she liked it!” ]
The netizens were extremely excited. How sweet!
[ “Please send me the location of the spicy hotpot shop. I want to go there every day in the future!” ]
[ “This place is going to be popular soon. That’ll settle Su Ji and CEO Pei’s endorsement fees.” ]
Pei Huai was driving when he heard Su Ji read out two replies from netizens.
“Should I get someone to take it down?”
Su Ji took a closer look at the group photo posted by the netizens. It was taken quite well and she did not close her eyes. “Forget it, just leave it.”
At the same time, it was nighttime in M State.
In the duke’s mansion, the servants were busy packing luggage for Ms. Anna to go abroad.
Miyazawa Ta was also preparing something.
Anna held her phone in both hands, her hands resting on her thighs. Her head was lowered, and her light blonde hair hung down from both sides of her cheeks.
After checking the luggage prepared by the servants, Miyazawa Rei smiled and sat beside Anna. She put her hands on Anna’s shoulders and said very intimately, “Anna, you’re going to China tomorrow. Are you happy?
Anna was silent for a few seconds before she nodded slightly.
Miyazawa Rei didn’t seem to expect her to reply. She patted her shoulder and stood up. “Your father is on a business trip. Your brother and I will send you there. Have a good sleep tonight. Tomorrow, you’ll see the man you’ve been thinking about so much. Wear something beautiful.”
Anna nodded again without saying a word.
Miyazawa Rei sighed helplessly. Miyazawa Ta met his mother’s gaze and smiled. “My sister looks beautiful in anything. She doesn’t need to dress up. The Third Master Pei will like her too.”
Would he really like her?
Anna lowered her head, her gaze fixed on the phone screen.
It was a photo from the entertainment news.
The three of them were about to leave the shop. The others walked in front while the girl lagged behind. She had her hands in her pockets and was wearing a baseball cap and mask.. Pei Huai walked beside her and his big hand landed on her head…
