Chapter 121: Set Off a Storm

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Su Ji was now the most popular young female celebrity. If he had known earlier, he would not have broken up with her!

So what if she was a bore? As long as it could help his career as a director, it was more important than anything else!

Song Heng was hesitating when he saw Pei Xi’s sharp gaze on him.

Only then did he remember that he had promised Pei Xi that he had to draw a clear line between him and Su Ji.

Song Heng didn’t dare to offend the higher-ups, but he didn’t want to miss this opportunity to raise his popularity.

As long as he gave an ambiguous answer, his name would be tied to Su Ji’s.

Song Heng gritted his teeth and took a deep breath.

“No.”

???

Who said that?

He hadn’t said anything yet?

He looked around and realized that it was Pei Huai.

He looked relaxed, and with one sentence, he cut off Song Heng’s thoughts.

“CEO Pei, why do you say that?” the reporters pa.s.sed their microphones over.

Peu Huai glanced at Su Ji and started to spout nonsense in a serious manner, “Blue Whale has a rule that actors and actresses under them are not allowed to date the director. It’s unfair to the others.”

Su Qianrou patted her chest. It was a good thing she was not under Blue Whale. They would not care if she was with Song Heng.

Ren Guanghua, who had memorized all the policies of the company, “is there such a rule?”

“If they are not working together, are they then allowed to date?” a reporter asked Ren Guanghua.

“I think it’s better for the president to answer it,” Ren Guanghua said.

“Yes,” Pei Huai replied.

“Then, if one of your artists is in a relationship, would you make an official announcement or would you keep it low-profile?”

“That is up to them.”

“Many of them prefer to elope nowadays. What do you think about this? ”

“I respect their wishes,” Pei Huai said in one breath.

Su Ji looked at him silently.

Blue Whale had such an open policy!

The other artists who were listening were in awe.

However, they never thought that Pei Huai’s answers were all tailored for Su Ji!

After the interview, it was time for dinner.

There were all kinds of delicacies and expensive alcohols.

Only relevant people were allowed to attend the banquet. The reporters could not even think about sneaking in.

As for Zhou Xuefang, she had finally found a chance to change out of that humiliating gown!

The lychee wine from Pei Huai’s lychee manor was a big hit.

“Su Ji, let’s have another drink!” Pei Xi said.

“Cheers,” Su Ji said.

The two women were already at the third bottle.

Su Ji really liked the smell of lychees.

Using lychees to make wine was simply too wonderful.

Su Ji had drunk some wine, and the corners of her eyes were a beautiful red. Naturally, her pace of speech slowed down, and she was very seductive.

Pei Xi was so mesmerized by her that she quickly found an excuse to leave, “there are many sponsors there. I’ll help you win them over.”

Su Ji lifted her chin and said, “hurry up!”

Pei Xi patted her face to wake herself up. “You have a husband!”

When Su Ji was left alone, a greasy middle-aged man in his forties walked up to her.

Su Ji was familiar with this person. He was none other than the CEO of Sky Entertainment, Feng Meng.

When Pei Huai helped Su Ji terminate her contract, Feng Meng did not dare to refuse, but he was still reluctant.

Especially now that he saw Su Ji’s popularity rising, wearing an SK evening gown, she was like a completely different person from the country b.u.mpkin she was before.

He raised his gla.s.s at Su Ji, his eyes like a wolf locking on to its prey.

“Su Ji, you’re amazing. It’s not easy for newbies to stand out in Blue Whale,” Feng Meng narrowed his eyes, “it seems that I’m not as charming as CEO Pei. The company has been helping you clean up your mess all these years. How come you’ve become so smart when you went to Blue Whale? it can’t be a Feng Shui problem, right?”

Su Ji already knew that there would be infighting and pa.s.sive-aggressiveness like this.

However, compared to the politics between ministers, this was child’s play.

She glanced at the wine gla.s.s in Feng Meng’s hand, “Mr. Feng, is your wine spoiled?”

Feng Meng was stunned. He raised it up and sniffed it, “no?”

“No? Then why does it smell sour to me?” Su Ji’s lips curved up.

Feng Meng only realized now that she was being sarcastic!

A low laugh came from behind him.

Pei Huai walked to Su Ji’s side, his tall figure casting a shadow on Feng Meng’s head.

This was clearly an attempt to protect her.

Feng Meng suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth, “it seems like CEO Pei is really protective of her.”

As a man himself, it was impossible for him not to know why.

“I’m sorry, but she has nothing to do with you anymore.”

Feng Meng’s face turned green with anger!

He snorted and left.

Pei Huai turned around and faced Su Ji. His gaze swept across her flushed face, “did you drink too much?”

Su Ji leaned against the bar counter, her body so soft that it seemed boneless. She tugged on his tie and pulled him down a little, “I’m not like this when I’m drunk.”

Her current appearance really confirmed what the fortune-teller told her mother when she was young.

“With her looks, she’ll definitely set off a storm in the great Shang Dynasty in the future.”

Not just in the great Shang Dynasty.

However, Pei Huai remembered what Su Ji said to him, that she was slow to open up.

Therefore, ever since they had established their relationship, he had been restraining himself and remained gentlemanly.

This was the first time he heard Su Ji speak like that. He could not help but raise one of his eyebrows, “what happens when you drink too much?”

“You will never know,” Su Ji smiled.

If she drank too much, she would be a little…

In fact, she had also accidentally entered the bathhouse many times, but fortunately, she always b.u.mped into her bestie.

That was why she didn’t do anything.

Su Ji felt a little warm and used her hand to fan herself, but she did not feel better.

She looked at the bar counter behind her. There were a few gla.s.ses of water on it, and she picked one up.

She drank half a cup in one gulp.

In the next second, a strong smell of white wine filled the air between the two of them.

Pei Huai’s expression froze. He took the cup from her hand and sniffed it.

It was white wine…

Not only did she drink three bottles of lychee wine, but she also drank half a gla.s.s of white wine!

“Su Ji, you…”

Before he could finish, her head pressed against his chest.
