Si Huang was stared at by Yu Xi for several minutes but the other party did not speak. So, she took the initiative to speak, “What do you want to say?”
Yu Xi then said, “Are you very interested in Zhou Tianhuang?”
He asked in a subtle way, and Si Huang even more subtly looked at him, “What kind of interest are you talking about?”
“Ahem.” Yu Xi said unclearly, “Today you helped him resolve the crisis. It can be explained that it was for yourself, but there was no need to tease others like that just now, right? I’ve never seen you so… before….”
“What is that?”
“Aimed at one person!”
Si Huang thought for a moment, and in order to dispel Yu Xi’s unrealistic thoughts, he explained: “I just happened to want to do that.”
Yu Xi raised his eyebrows, still looking a little unconvinced.
Si Huang lowered her head and continued to work on the tablet and said calmly: “I like seeing him unhappy.”
“…You really do whatever you want.” Yu Xin believed it.
“Thank you.” Si Huang thanked him without any sincerity.
In his previous life, Zhou Tianhuang hurt her, but he didn’t really want to harm her. Just as he said, he was evil-minded and wanted to torment her because he wanted to make her unhappy. She persisted and got through it. She didn’t get drunk too much because of the medicine and the other party also didn’t forcefully pour it into her mouth. Therefore, Si Huang was angry but did not hate Zhou Tianhuang. She did learn something from him.
….
In the evening, Si Huang specially booked a dinner for internal staff to celebrate the successful release of “Red Moon” and welcome the new year.
The people attending the dinner this time were all their own people. Except for the employees of Fenghuang Entertainment, there were several friends of Si Huang such as Li Jiming and Ji Xiang.
In the spacious banquet hall, everyone tacitly agreed not to make Si Huang drink wine. After drinking two glasses of wine together, they went to chat and play in groups.
Si Huang and Li Jiming were sitting on a sofa by the window.
Li Jiming talked about how Zhao Yang ran to him and knelt down to beg for mercy, “Why didn’t I realize that this kid was so virtuous before? If he had been tougher and dared to take responsibility, I still would not have let him go. But at least I would still have some respect for him. He made a good impression, but he came to disgust me at the last moment.”
“It will only be good for you to know his character as soon as possible.” Ji Xiang raised the glass and clinked his glass with him.
Li Jiming raised his head and drank the entire glass of wine. He nodded and said to Si Huang who was sitting across from him: “I thought I could help you at first, but who knows it didn’t work in the end, but you hid it well.”
Si Huang said innocently: “If I said I don’t know who is behind the operation, will you believe it?”
Li Jiming and Ji Xiang clearly didn’t believe it.
Si Huang shrugged her shoulders, silently indicating that if you don’t believe it, then there’s nothing I can do about it.
Li Jiming and Ji Xiang didn’t ask any more questions. Regardless of whether what Si Huang said was true or false, since she didn’t come out immediately, it meant that she didn’t want to go into depth on this topic.
“No matter what, you have become famous, and Fenghuang Entertainment has also made a good start and gained a good reputation. Cheers to your success!” Li Jiming raised a glass.
Si Huang clinked glasses with him and the others present to show dignity, and then drank the entire glass of wine in one gulp.
In the middle of the banquet, Si Huang received several messages while taking a break, most of them came to congratulate her, so she chatted with Grandma Yu on the phone for a few more words, and then heard Tie Lao reminding her of the time on the other end of the phone and that it was late and time to sleep.
Si Huang couldn’t help but laugh, then she helped Tie Lao persuade Grandma Yu.
After convincing her to go to bed, Si Huang hadn’t rested for a while when she received another call.
She pressed the answer button without looking carefully. When she heard a cold voice ringing in her ears, she realized that the caller was actually Dou Wenqing.
“Do you have time recently?” Second Young Master Dou asked straight to the point in his usual style.
Si Huang thought for a while and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Please treat me to dinner,” Second Young Master Dou said.
Si Huang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Even if she owed him a meal, there was no need to ask for it so directly.
But it would be nice to settle this meal debt as soon as possible. Si Huang thought about it and said, “I’ll call you when I have time.”
During this time, her schedule was very tight.
Second Young Master Dou said “Yeah” and then there was no other sound.
Si Huang felt that he had nothing else to say, so she was about to hang up the phone when he heard Second Young Master’s calm congratulations, “Congratulations to you today.”
Knowing what Second Young Master Dou was congratulating her for, Si Huang responded with a smile and one sentence: “Thank you.”
This time, there was really nothing to say. Si Huang said, “Good night, then.” and hung up the phone.
Putting the phone back in his pocket, it vibrated again.
“The real estate business is really busy.” Li Jiming on the side had noticed her situation a long time ago. Seeing Si Huang’s helpless look, he stretched out his hand, “How about I pick one up for you?”
Si Huang raised his eyebrows, took out her phone and glanced at it, then connected it and threw it to him.
Li Jiming was a little surprised. He didn’t expect that she would actually agree. He was interested for a moment, and without even looking at who was calling, he deliberately said to the phone with his throat: “Who is it? Who is getting along with Mr. Si!”
“Pfft— —” Ji Xiang next to him spit out a mouthful of wine.
Yu Xi and Guan Li’s expressions were not much better.
Li Jiming felt that he had done a good job, and raised his eyebrows at them proudly, and continued to say to the silent other end of the phone: “Hello? If you don’t speak, I will hang up. Mr. Si is already urging me!”
“…”
