How did Qi Wu know Qu Manâs phone number?
Despite her confusion, she still wrote down what Qi Wu said and asked them to wait for more updates.
At that moment, Song Qi walked over. âWhat happened? The first episode will be broadcast in 30 minutes.â
Qu Man sighed. âItâs Qi Wu. She told me that the power cord of classroom 101 in Area A was cut by someone maliciously. Tong Luoâs fear of the dark was triggered. â
ââ¦Itâs Tong Fei.â
Song Qi suddenly frowned as he solemnly grumbled, âThe Tong familyâ¦is really pushing me to anger.â
âIâll get someone to check the surveillance cameras,â Qu Man promptly said. âThereâs a high chance that itâs one of Tong Feiâs scapegoats.â
âItâs fine.
Song Qi snorted. âI was going to be nice to the Tong family and just ask Tong Fei to leave. Since she doesnât appreciate the gesture, Iâll squeeze her dry to increase the popularity of the show.â
âIâve already fired the person the Tong family planted.â
Qu Man couldnât help but smile.â As expected of you, Song. Youâre so efficient.â
After the call, Qi Wu brought Tong Luo back to their room to rest.
She then handed Tong Luo a cup of warm water.
After Tong Luo had a few sips, she finally felt alive once more as her brain started working.
When she thought of Qi Wuâs actions just now, her eyes could not help but turn red.
She stared at Qi Wu and abruptly muttered, âIf only I were a manâ¦â Qi Wu looked at her in confusion.
Then, she heard Tong Luo resentfully say, âThat man is so lucky!â
Tong Luoâs hatred for this unknown sugar daddy had reached its peak.
Qi Wu was speechless.
The people of this world were so strange.
Tong Luo suddenly asked, âHas the first episode started broadcasting yet?â
She immediately jumped out of bed and went to turn on the TV in the living room.
Qi Wu was already used to Tong Luoâs abruptness, so she calmly walked over when Tong Luo beckoned her over.
Meanwhile, in a luxurious mansion.
By the time Jin Si realized he was watching the first episode of âRookie Assemblyâ, it was already too late.
The program was broadcasting the part where Qi Wu sang.
Recalling the ringtone he had set for his phone some time ago, Jin Siâs eyes darkened slightly, and he could not help but continue watching.
Suddenly, the door creaked.
Jin Si looked back. âWho is it?â
Outside his room stood a little girl in a princess dress with a tutu with an exquisite crown on her head.
Upon closer inspection, she looked a little similar to Jin Si.
She confusedly looked at Jin Si and curiously asked, âWhat are you doing, Uncle?â
Then, she ran in.
The little girl seemed to be very familiar with Jin Si as she climbed onto the sofa without him saying a word. Then, she obediently found a seat beside Jin Si and sat down.
Her eyes widened as she looked at the TV screen.
Jin Si helplessly held her up.â Xi Huanran, who said you could come in without knocking?â
Xi Huanran replied in her childish voice, âYou didnât lock the door!â
She then turned to look at Jin Si and complained, âUncle, it has been a long
time since you brought me any lemon drops. Was my hint not obvious enough?â
Jin Si fell silent.
He suddenly remembered that the last time he went home, Xi Huanran had secretly stuffed candy into his pockets. She was hinting at him to buy candy for her.
In the end, he was too busy buying lemon drops for Qi Wu.
However, he would not be Jin Si if he felt guilty over that.
He coughed, and coldly replied, âLook at those ugly teeth of yours.â Xi Huanran was so angry that she burst into tears.
She looked at Jin Si with tears in her eyes and sniffled. âYouâre mean!â
Jin Si ignored her.
At that moment, Chang Xun called. Jin Si blandly answered the call. âWhatâs the matter?â
âJin Si, let me tell you about Qi Wu.â
Chang Xunâs voice rang out. âThe first episode of the show hasnât even finished broadcasting, yet her popularity is rising fast. You didnât want her in your agency, but I canât just let someone else steal someone this talented from us.â âWhat are you trying to say?â Jin Si impatiently interrupted.
âIâm going to tell Chaoqi Group to sign her on and Iâll take care of her. Jin Si, you canât hold her back!â
It took a lot of courage for Chang Xun to say that.
âHuh?â
A strange look flashed across Jin Siâs eyes. He understood what the first sentence meant, but what did the second sentence mean?
âHow am I holding her back?â
There was a hint of self-mockery in his question.
She was very opinionated, so how could he hold her back?
âAll right! Then, after the show ends, Iâll sign her under the Chaoqi Group.â
âUp to you.â
Jin Si hung up.
He then looked down at Xi Huanran, who had been staring at him curiously. âWhatâs wrong?â
Xi Huanran blinked and frankly asked, âUncle, are you angry?â
Jin Si froze for a moment before he looked away. âNo, Iâm not.â
He picked Xi Huanran up and placed her outside the room. âIâll buy you some lemon drops next time.â
Xi Huanran happily nodded. âYou promised!â
Then, she ran away.
Jin Si watched her leave before heading back into the room.
However, what he did not know was that Xi Huanran had gone to look for her grandfather after returning to the living room.
âGrandpa. Grandpa.â
Xi Huanran softly called out.
Mr. Xi, who was reading the newspaper while sitting on the couch, put down the paper and kindly smiled at her.
He picked her up and placed her on his lap. âWhatâs wrong, Princess?â
Xi Huanran stood up and leaned in to whisper into Mr. Xiâs ear. âI know Uncleâs secret!â
Surprise flashed across Mr. Xiâs eyes. âOh?â
âUncle likes to watch a beautiful lady on TV!â
Xi Huanran sounded very confident despite the childish timbre of her voice.
Mr. Xi was speechless.
For a moment, he did not know if she really was telling the truth.
After all, according to his sonâs personality, that was impossible.
If Jin Si were a womanizer, Mr. Xi would not have to worry about Jin Siâs marriage status.
He even forced his wife to go to church to pray for love in their sonâs life.
âRookie Assemblyâ started promoting itself a few days ago, gaining a boost in popularity when they released the posters. Now, their popularity has skyrocketed.
The show attracted dreamers of all ages and professions from all over the world..
