Li Xiwu smiled and didnât reply. She got up and said, âIâm leaving.â
Qi Jiangchi waved the sealed can in his hand. âThank you for feeding meaâ
She came out of the office. Li Xiwu took out her phone and called Xue Jinzhu. At this moment, Xue Jinzhu, who was playing cards, picked up Li Xiwuâs call in a hurry. âSister Li, did you take the initiative to call me because you missed
Li Xiwu asked, âWhat are you doing?
Xue Jinzhu lied without changing her expression. âIâm watching television.â Li Xiwu was amused. âWhy do I hear mahjong?
Xue Jinzhu said, âTheyâre playing mahjong on TV. Wait a minute, let me take a look at this card. Itâs the wrong card⦠Hey, hey, Sister Li, did you hear that? Itâs the people on television who said that itâs the wrong card, not meâ
Li Xiwu:
This Xue Jinzhu was so young. She was not keen on shopping and doing nails, but she liked to play cards. Li Xiwu did not understand! She threw a sentence at Xue Jinzhu. âWhether you want to win immediately or not, you have to reach the company by eleven.â
Xue Jinzhu looked at the time and quickly pushed the cards in front of her.
âAhhh, thereâs still fifteen minutes. Iâm not playing anymore. You guys play
first. i â
With that, she quickly slipped away.
Xue Jinzhu arrived at the company before eleven oâclock. She pushed the door open and entered. âSister Li, Iâm here. Itâs not eleven yet. I should be on time!â Li Xiwu looked up from behind her desk. âAre you lucky today?â
Xue Jinzhu panted as she replied, âItâs alright. I won more than 1,600 before I came. When I left, the faces of the other three mahjong friends turned green. They probably wonât be playing cards with me for a while.â Li Xiwu said, âItâs my fault.â
âOf courseâ¦â Xue Jinzhu smiled. âI donât blame Sister Li.â
Xue Jinzhu, who had an extremely strong desire to live, quickly went forward and stood beside Li Xiwu. She bent down and asked, âSister Li, are you in such a hurry to summon me to the company because you have some important mission for me?
Li Xiwu folded her hands and looked at Xue Jinzhu. âYes, I do.â Xue Jinzhu was looking forward to it. âWhat mission?
Li Xiwu said, âThe mission is to stay in the company for class.â
The smile on Xue Jinzhuâs face gradually disappeared. ââ¦Class?â
Li Xiwu nodded. âVoice, script, image and performance. Mandarin and physical image.â
Xue Jinzhu said weakly, âBut my Mandarin is very accurate.â
Li Xiwu said, âItâs accurate.â
Xue Jinzhu said, âAccurate!â
After a while, Li Xiwu opened the drawer and handed a curriculum to Xue Jinzhu. âNow, as long as I have time, Iâll personally watch you go to class. From one to three today, go to Image Room One to practice your form. From four to six, go to the ideological and moral recuperation and legal foundation classes. Although the teacher taught you these when you were studying, as an artist, you still have to learn them again to prevent you from taking the wrong path in the future.â
The smile on Xue Jinzhuâs face had completely disappeared. âIt doesnât end until six?â
Li Xiwu said, âToo short? How about eight oâclock?â
âSix oâclock! Six oâclock! Six oâclock it is,â Xue Jinzhu compromised. After a pause, Xue Jinzhu asked, âThen what should I do now?
Li Xiwu said, âTo voice training.â
Xue Jinzhu puffed up her cheeks and pouted. âSister Li, have you been stimulated by something?â
Li Xiwu put down her folded hands and leaned back. âYou donât say. It was really stimulating. And it was quite stimulating.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Xue Jinzhu was nervous. âHuh? Sister Li, what triggered you?â
Li Xiwu looked up at the confused Xue Jinzhu with a faint smile. âXie Wen is my peak. I fell, and now Iâve fallen again halfway. I canât just fall twice in a row and not be able to recover, right? Therefore, you have a long way to go.â
When Xue Jinzhu heard this, she was not happy because Li Xiwu thought highly of her. Instead, she was very discouraged. âThen wouldnât I have so much pressure?â
Li Xiwu said, âThen should I change to someone else?â
âIâll learn, Iâll learn, Iâll learn!!â Xue Jinzhu was afraid that she would fall out of favor. âIâll definitely study seriously and not disappoint Sister Li.â
Li Xiwu smiled faintly. âThat would be best, of course.â
Creating stars required a certain amount of luck. Actually, the bet on Xue Jinzhu was very risky.
Previously, with Xie Wen and Ji Weiling as comparisons, Xue Jinzhuâs starting point had become very low. It was very difficult to make a name for herself in the entertainment industry. Even if she parachuted in as a resource celebrity, she might not be able to cause much of a stir after filming a few female lead dramas.
But everything could only be risked. How could a bicycle become a motorcycle without taking a gamble?
After an entire day of classes, Xue Jinzhu was tortured. The voice training almost made her throat hoarse. The afternoonâs image training made her, who had never practiced dance, scream her heart out in the image room.
In the last ideological and moral recuperation and legal foundation course, Xue Jinzhu was very sleepy and was hit in the palm by the teacher several times.
The moment she came out of the classroom, Xue Jinzhu pointed at the door. âThis lousy class ends here!â
After taking a few steps, Xue Jinzhu turned back and pointed at the door. âIâll come again another day!â
With that, she slipped away.
It was already very late when Li Xiwu finished her work today. Pei Jingzhouâs car waited outside for more than ten minutes before Li Xiwu rushed down.
âSorry to keep you waiting.â She got into the car.
Pei Jingzhou asked her, âAre you done with your work?â
Li Xiwu nodded and smiled easily. âThereâs a lot of work piling up, but itâs all taken care of.â
Just as she finished speaking, Xue Jinzhu, who had come out of the company, saw that Li Xiwuâs car door was still open. She ran over in a hurry and pounced on Li Xiwuâs lap. She stretched out her hands for Li Xiwu to see. âSister Li, it hurts.â
Li Xiwu looked down at the palms of Xue Jinzhuâs hands. They were indeed a little red. Li Xiwu knew all the teachers Hua Guan taught celebrities. They were even stricter than the teachers in school.
She was about to comfort her, at that moment, Xue Jinzhu looked up and saw the man sitting beside Li Xiwu. She immediately fell silent and silently retreated. âBoss is also here. Hehehe, sorry to disturb you. Iâll leave!â
With that, she slipped away.
Li Xiwu:
After the car door closed, Li Xiwu looked at the unsmiling Pei Jingzhou beside her. âFourth Brother, look. You just sat there and didnât even have to say a
word. You scared her away.â
Pei Jingzhou smiled. âYes, itâs my fault.â
Li Xiwu said, âThe teacher at Hua Guan is indeed a little strict.â
Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. âFeel sorry for her?â
Li Xiwu said, âA little. Sheâs not from a scientific class. Her starting point will be harder than anyone elseâs.â
It was rare for Pei Jingzhou to add, âPeople who know how to cause trouble wonât be too lucky. Her future will be easy.â
Li Xiwu raised her eyebrows and her mood improved. âThen Iâll have to borrow
Fourth Brotherâs auspicious words.â
Pei Jingzhou pulled her closer. âAre you tired?â
Li Xiwu said, âNot so bad.â
Pei Jingzhou said, âIâll help you massage it.â
Li Xiwu did not refuse. Although Pei Jingzhou should be more tired after his work ended, Pei Jingzhou would still do the same if she rejected him. She relaxed in his arms.
A buzzing vibration came from Pei Jingzhouâs pocket. Pei Jingzhou said, âAnswer it for me.â
Li Xiwu did as she was told and took the phone out of his pocket. She looked at the screen. It was a call from Han Qianye.
Li Xiwu picked it up and put the phone to her ear. Before she could speak, Han Qianâs voice came from the receiver. âWhereâs your son? Will you bring him over tonight?â
Li Xiwu was stunned.. Son? Whose son?
