After dropping Hu Shi and Pei Zhi off at a secluded movie theater, the driver drove away.

The movie wasn't recently released, and today is a weekday, plus the movie theater is in a remote location.

After getting the tickets, Hu Shih entered the venue with Pei Zhi.

Inside the movie theater, apart from Hu Shi and Pei Zhi, there was no one else. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought they had booked the entire theater.

Hu Shih recommended the film to Pei Zhi: "Let me tell you, I play an undercover police officer in it, which is really exciting. After watching it, you will look at me in a new light."

Pei Zhi rubbed her eyes. "Really?"

As the movie began, Hu Shih started explaining the play to Pei Zhi in her ear.

Hu Shih still clearly remembers some of the difficulties he encountered when filming several scenes of the play he starred in.

The movie was actually quite interesting, but Hu Shih stayed by Pei Zhi's side the whole time, rambling on and on.

Pei Zhi drank some more wine, and before he could resist, he fell asleep.

When Hu Shih was talking about the scene in the movie where he was beaten, he suddenly realized that there was no sound around him halfway through his story.

Turning around, I realized that Pei Zhi had already fallen asleep.

Hu Shi reached out, wanting to shake Pei Zhi awake, but fearing a beating, he could only admire his own acting skills by himself.

Hu Shih attended the premiere of this film.

The film was very well received, and many people in the industry commented that Hu Shih could win another Best Actor award for this film.

Hu Shi was quietly admiring his own acting skills when his phone suddenly vibrated.

Hu Shi took out his phone and found that it was a voice message from Brother Wang.

Hu Shih, fearing he would disturb Pei Zhi, directly transcribed the message into text.

"That bald guy sent messages to a lot of people in the industry, saying that you are of terrible character and that you are going to be exposed."

"Many brands have called to ask me about this, which may affect your future endorsements."

Hu Shi replied, "It's alright, someone will take care of him soon."

Brother Wang: "Who?"

Hu Shi: "The man in the overcoat."

The coat Xie Cinian gave to Pei Zhi was carelessly left in the villa by Pei Zhi.

Brother Wang couldn't stand it anymore and hung up the suit jacket.

Haute couture, a single coat can cost millions, it's not cheap.

Brother Wang: "Does President Xie know that you gave him this nickname?"

The bald-headed manager is named Li Chang, because he is in charge of a high-end luxury watch brand.

He would use the excuse of finding models for his watches to seduce many girls.

Li Chang was indeed listless for two days after Pei Zhi humiliated him.

Li Chang quickly rallied.

Just kidding, he's at least the head of a major brand's domestic branch.

It's incredibly embarrassing to be fooled by a little girl.

Although Li Chang was despicable, he wasn't brainless.

These past two days, Li Chang has been asking at every dinner party if anyone knows Pei Zhi.

Li Chang thought that Pei Zhi was the daughter of that capitalist, and if she really had some powerful background, he wouldn't dare to offend her.

After asking around, Li Chang realized that he had been overthinking things.

Since no one had ever heard of it, Li Chang felt much more at ease.

Li Changzheng was planning to cause trouble for Hu Shi.

He brought a female companion over and humiliated him. Is this something to be left unresolved?

Before Li Chang could even make an appointment with Hu Shi, he was already invited by someone else.

Lu Mingxu, President Lu, invited me to dinner tonight.

When Li Chang heard about this, he thought his assistant was joking with him.

After confirming several times that it was indeed Lu Mingxu who had taken the initiative to ask him out, Li Changcai found it strange.

He and Lu Mingxu had met a few times before, and Li Chang's reputation in the industry wasn't very good.

Li Chang tried to greet him several times, but Lu Mingxu ignored him.

As a result, Lu Mingxu asked someone to meet with him today, saying he wanted to discuss cooperation.

Li Chang immediately forgot about his plan to cause trouble for Hu Shi, and naturally went to keep his appointment first.

To show respect, Li Chang arrived at the private room half an hour early.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Lu Mingxu arrived alone.

Li Chang, with a fawning smile, stepped forward to greet him: "President Lu."

Lu Mingxu glanced at Li Chang's outstretched hand, not even bothering to give Li Chang a second look.

"sit."

Li Chang withdrew his hand, a somewhat awkward smile on his face.

Li Chang took the initiative to pick up the menu and handed it to Lu Mingxu, "Mr. Lu, please take a look and see what you'd like to eat."

Lu Mingxu pushed the menu aside. "What we eat isn't important. I came here because I have something to ask you."

"I heard you've been asking me about someone named Pei Zhi these past few days?"

Li Chang was somewhat surprised: "What, Mr. Lu, do you know her?"

Lu Mingxu didn't say whether he knew her or not, but asked, "Tell me, why are you asking about her?"

Seeing the ambiguous expression on Lu Mingxu's face, Li Chang assumed that Pei Zhi had also offended Lu Mingxu.

"This Pei Zhi was brought here by Hu Shi. I heard he is a friend of Hu Shi."

"At our dinner party, we saw such a beautiful girl and said a few jokes."

Li Chang defended himself, saying, "It was just a joke, nothing more."

"Who knows? This girl was like a bomb; she came up to me and poured a bottle of baijiu down my throat."

"I can't swallow this, so I want to find out who this is. She's so inconsiderate. I'm planning to have someone teach her a lesson."

After hearing Li Chang mention Hu Shi's name, Lu Mingxu had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

Lu Mingxu lowered his head and turned the ring on his index finger.

Lu Mingxu suddenly chuckled, then shook his head to himself.

Lu Mingxu blinked lightly, not wanting to be so pathetic as to shed tears in front of such trash.

Pei Zhi, Pei Zhi, you're finally back.

Pei Zhi is back, but he doesn't know it until he finds out from a garbage dump.

Whose is she?

Lu Mingxu composed himself and looked at Li Chang, "She belongs to my family."

"Tell me, how do you plan to deal with her? Let me hear it."

Li Chang stared, mouth agape. "Mr. Lu, what were you just saying?"

Li Chang felt as if he hadn't understood what was being said.

Pei Zhi is from Lu Mingxu's family? What does that mean?

I had never heard of Lu Mingxu having any close relationships with any women before.

"Didn't you say you were going to teach her a lesson? Tell me about it, and I'll go back and deal with her."

"This..." Li Chang chuckled twice, speechless, and then slapped himself twice.

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding."

"Mr. Lu, don't you think this is a huge misunderstanding?"

"If I had known that Pei Zhi was related to you, I wouldn't have dared to hold a grudge against her even if you killed me."

Li Chang stood up and hurriedly explained, "It's all my fault."

"When you've had too much to drink, you can't keep your mouth shut. Your partner was right to get you drunk."

Lu Mingxu lifted his foot and put it on the table. "Since you say it's the right way to drink it, then have another bottle."

Lu Mingxu gestured for Li Chang to look behind him; inside the box was a case of baijiu (Chinese liquor).
