Chapter 185: Becoming One

“…”

One should never underestimate the creativity of a middle-aged man in his forties.

However, they had good taste.

They all followed Su Ji’s Tiktok account.

They also watched and memorized the first episode of “The Billion Stars”.

Su Ji was a good actress and popular enough. If they asked her to endorse their electric vehicle, it would be refres.h.i.+ng.

The next step was to think of a way to introduce their spokesperson to the netizens.

**

The next day was Sat.u.r.day, and the second episode was about to air. During the day, Su Ji went to Blue Whale.

As soon as she entered, she saw two people at the elevator entrance.

“Xuefang, I think you’ve improved a lot during this week’s filming.”

“Thanks to your good guidance, uncle. I wonder what the ratings for tonight’s episode will be like.”

“We film for the art, for the performance, and for ourselves, not for those ridiculous ratings.”

“What you said…makes sense.”

Su Ji narrowed her eyes.

The people who spoke were Zhou Xuefang and the new director, Han Junlei.

Su Ji’s hearing was quite good. Did Zhou Xuefang just call him ‘uncle’?

No wonder Han Junlei talked to her so casually and even spoke with a Nancheng accent.

It turned out that the two of them were related.

Han Junlei patted Zhou Xuefang’s shoulder. “Alright, you should go now.”

Then, he suddenly saw Su Ji from the corner of his eye.

His upright and unyielding face twisted for a moment, and he quickly distanced himself.

Zhou Xuefang’s back was facing Su Ji, so she didn’t notice anything unusual. “What’s wrong, uncle?”

Han Junlei quickly pointed at Su Ji and said, “hey, look. Isn’t that the second female lead?”

Zhou Xuefang turned around. Unlike Han Junlei, she did not look as fl.u.s.tered.

She did not care if Su Ji heard her calling him “uncle”.

It’s even better if she did.

Han Junlei thought differently. He had always been impartial and incorruptible at work. This week, he had almost “fixed” everyone. He even scheduled a physical examination for Si Jingchuan the next day and asked him to rest up for the shooting next week.

However, he was able to establish such prestige because he treated everyone equally. He did not even give Su Ji, who was a “connection”, any special privileges.

However, if people were to find out that he and Zhou Xuefang were related…

In fact, he only found out that the female lead was his niece after he had accepted the job.

He left the city when he was young and worked hard in this industry, so he rarely contacted his family.

His sister was a headstrong person

This niece of his was quite similar to his sister.

In fact, he didn’t really take special care of Zhou Xuefang, but it wouldn’t be good for others to find out.

Han Junlei took the initiative to greet Su Ji today, probably because he felt guilty. He was even a little enthusiastic. “Su Ji, you’re here too?”

Su Ji nodded and walked toward the elevator. “I came to do something.”

Han Junlei nodded. “You haven’t slacked off after not coming to the set for a week, have you? Do you have a scene with Xuefang next week? Get ready this weekend and come early on Monday.”

Su Ji smiled. “Don’t worry, director. I can recite my lines backwards.”

Zhou Xuefang did not want to be left behind. “I’m ready, too unc-..director!”

She had “accidentally” let it slip, and Han Junlei was sweating.

He pressed the elevator b.u.t.ton for them. “Go on then.”

The two of them entered the same elevator. As the elevator door closed, Zhou Xuefang would glance at Su Ji from time to time.

It was as if she was silently showing off.

However, after a long time, Su Ji did not seem to have noticed anything. Zhou Xuefang chuckled and said, “you came to the company to do something. What is it?”

Su Ji slowly turned her head to her and said in her usual tone, “sorry, it’s confidential.”

Zhou Xuefang was not working under Blue Whale, so it was not a good time to tell her about the contract that she was going to sign today.

Zhou Xuefang froze and did not say anything else.

Since she couldn’t tell her, there’s no need to ask further.

She would never have thought that Su Ji was going to sign a contract to be the spokesperson for the new electric vehicle.

At the same time, there were a few A-list celebrities who were fighting for the same role.

Zhou Xuefang wasn’t even in the list.

Zhou Xuefang’s floor was lower, so she arrived first.

The elevator stopped. With her back facing Su Ji, she looked at her from the side and said provocatively, “Su Ji, I’m looking forward to our scene next Monday.”

Su Ji mouthed a few words back to her.

Zhou Xuefang watched as her mouth moved, but she couldn’t hear anything. “What did you say?”

The elevator door closed again, and the moment it finally closed, Su Ji heard a thump.

It was accompanied by a scream.

Su Ji had mouthed, “be careful, there is a wall next to you.”

Zhou Xuefang obviously did not hear her. Su Ji smiled.

Pei Xi was waiting for her in the office. The contract was already prepared.

Pei Xi smiled brightly as she watched Su Ji sign the contract. “They’re forcing me to get a new car. There are two most antic.i.p.ated endors.e.m.e.nts for electric vehicles in the next issue. One will be endorsed by my husband and the other by my sister-in-law.”

Su Ji signed the doc.u.ment and handed it to Pei Xi. “Thanks!”

“You’re welcome, my sister-in-law,” Pei Xi replied.

Gasps could be heard outside the door.

However, when Su Ji looked over, there was no one outside the door.

Su Ji said, “why don’t you call me Su Ji when we’re in the company?”

She realized that she had agreed to be Pei Huai’s girlfriend in the first place to buy time.

Why did she even call her sister-in-law?

How was she going to dump him after he recovered?

Pei Xi was very understanding. “No problem, sister-in-law.”

“…”

She nodded and left the room.

Just as she was about to walk to the elevator, three small hands suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm.

The curtains in the lounge were drawn tightly. Su Ji was forced to sit on a chair in the next room.

Across the table, Meng Na and Pan Lian each held a phone and turned on their phones’ flashlights to s.h.i.+ne on her.

“Betrayal! We all heard Pei Xi calling you sister-in-law!”

“Baby! You are treating us like outsiders! Have you and CEO Pei…become one!?”

Yang Xiaotao, who was at the side, pretended to be innocent.

Although she already knew that CEO Pei liked Su Ji, she did not say anything when Meng Na and Pan Lian asked her. She pretended not to know. It was better to let Su Ji tell them herself.

Besides, she really wanted to know if…Su Ji and Pei Huai had become one!
