Chapter 105: This is Awkward

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Usually, a film or TV series had many sponsors.

For a big production like “The Billions Stars,” which was worth nearly one billion, there would be four or five main sponsors who had a say in the production.

The Si family was one of them.

He had invested in this film because the male lead was his son. Si Ke did not hesitate to support his family.

Blue Whale was not afraid even if he withdrew from the investment. The point was that since he had invested in this film, they had to listen to his opinion.

On the way back, Pei Xi made a few phone calls.

She even gave Si Jingchuan a call.

Si Jingchuan was so embarra.s.sed that he avoided those from Blue Whale for the past two days.

If he didn’t convince his father, he felt that he couldn’t face his “boss”.

Pei Xi hung up the phone, “this person is really ruthless. He even set his own son up.”

The Pei and Si families had been at it for a long time.

Pei Qingshen’s grandfather used to work in the government before becoming a businessman.

If one were to trace the Pei family’s genealogy, they were related to the royal family.

This could be proven from the location of the Pei family’s residence.

Coincidentally, the Si family was also planning to get into business at the same time.

The two families were both powerful in City A and competed with each other.

However, one was going down the political path, while the other was going down the shady path. It was easy to imagine who would win.

Si Jingchuan’s grandfather was Pei Qingshen’s nemesis because of this.

The two rivals fought for a lifetime. In the end, Pei Qingshen outlived Si Jingchuan’s grandfather.

Since they had been rivals for so long, one would think that it was a love-hate relationship.

However, Pei Qingshen did not feel sad when he pa.s.sed.

Pei Xi furrowed her eyebrows.

It was clear that Si Ke was going against them.

“Mr. Si is always like that. He’ll do whatever he wants,” Pei Xi said, annoyed.”

She had just become Su Ji’s manager, so she had to help her retain this role.

“Don’t worry, he’s not a bad person, but he’s uncultured and unreasonable.” She squeezed her phone. He had just hung up on her!

Su Ji didn’t really care, but she didn’t want the company’s efforts to go to waste. “I’ll do my best to help.”

Because of Si Ki, they couldn’t start filming, so they had to resolve this as soon as possible.

Pei Xi noticed that Su Ji was calm, so she suggested, “why don’t you accompany me to the Si residence? We’ll persuade them together.”

“Sure,” Su Ji agreed readily.

The two of them went back to the Blue Whale and met Ren Guanghua. When Ren Guanghua heard that they were going to the Si residence, he insisted on going with them.

One of them was the apple of the Pei family’s eye, and the other was the future granddaughter-in-law. The Pei family would be furious if they were mistreated.

It just so happened that Si Ke was at home now, so Pei Xi wanted to go immediately.

However, when the three of them left, they happened to b.u.mp into Pei Huai, who came to see Su Ji.

He rolled down the window and asked, “where are you going, I’ll drive you.”

Pei Xi thought it was too many of them going, but she remembered that this was a rare opportunity for him to spend more time with Su Ji, so she turned around and said, “sure!”

Su Ji usually sat in the front pa.s.senger seat of Pei Huai’s car.

Then, she accidentally touched Pei Xi’s hand as she was about to open the car door.

Pei Xi was used to sitting in the front pa.s.senger seat when she went out with her husband.

“Ah, you go ahead.” She quickly retracted her hand.

However, Su Ji thought that the sister should be in the front pa.s.senger seat. “No, it’s okay. I’ll just sit at the back.”

The two of them quarreled at the door for a while before Pei Huai said, “Pei Xi.”

He looked through the car window and looked at Pei Xi.

The two of them stopped at the same time.

“What?” Pei Xi asked.

“You sit at the back.” Pei Huai’s lips curled up.

Pei Xi was speechless.

She knew that!

Su Ji got into the car and fastened her seat belt. Pei Huai started the car. He was used to driving with one hand. His fingers were long and strong, and even a simple action like that looked cool when he did it.

Su Ji looked at his hand for a while before looking out the window.

On the way, Pei Xi briefly explained what had happened.

“Why are you in a rush?” Pei Huai frowned.

“The shooting cannot start if he doesn’t relent.” Pei Xi said.

“Then we’ll just invest in a new one,” Pei Huai said nonchalantly.

Su Ji tilted her head and glanced at Pei Huai.

He was so charming when he was throwing money away!

Pei Xi knew the pain of having too much money. However, she could not give up so easily after the drama had progressed so far. “Let me try first.”

“Whoa, so many people are here today?”

40 minutes later, in the living room of the Si residence.

Si Ke held his teacup and glanced at the three people opposite him.

His gaze first stopped on Su Ji’s face for a moment before quickly moving to the other two.

He was very arrogant.

“On the day of my father’s funeral, there weren’t even that many of you who showed up, right?”

Although Si Ke was very mean, everyone except Pei Xi did not react.

Pei Huai glanced at the grapes at the side and asked Su Ji very naturally, “do you want to eat some grapes?”

It was as if Si Ke’s punch had landed on cotton!

Those were his grapes!

“The quality is average, but the grapes of this season should taste good,” Pei Huai said.

He was just as annoying as his grandfather!

Satisfied, Pei Xi nodded at Pei Huai, who had the potential to pamper his wife in the future, and then began to negotiate with Si Ke.

After half an hour of negotiation, Si Ke would not give in.

Especially when he saw Pei Huai and Su Ji together today, he couldn’t let them be happy!

“So, Mr. Si, you’re saying that you’re determined to use your position to take personal revenge?”

“You can say whatever you want, ” Si Ke said. “You’re the one who started it first.”

He was determined.

At this moment, a little boy peeked timidly from the corner of the wall.

He was wearing blue pajamas with white clouds printed on it, and the bandage on his forehead made him look even more fragile.

Because he was so beautiful, Su Ji recognized him at a glance.

The boy also recognized her!

Although he was only awake for a short while that day, he would never forget!

Seeing that his dad was scolding his savior, he stood out bravely, “it’s the girl from that day! And the pretty uncle!”

Uncle? They’re of the same generation…
