Pei Zhi went to the convenience store near the entrance to buy some drinks and snacks.

Hu Shi was an entertainer, and he needed to maintain his figure, so naturally these kinds of things wouldn't be in his home.

Pei Zhi felt embarrassed, so she asked Hu Shi's assistant to buy it for her.

After carefully selecting and paying in line, Pei Zhi carried the bag out.

"Beep".

Hearing the horn, Pei Zhi thought she was blocking the way and took two steps to the side.

The car horn beeped again, and Pei Zhi turned around. A black Bentley had appeared behind her at some point.

The car came to a stop, and Xie Ci Nian got out.

Pei Zhi stood still, waiting for Xie Cinian to approach.

Xie Cinian glanced at Pei Zhi's snack bag: "You bought all this? Haven't you eaten yet?"

Pei Zhi said bluntly, "I like to eat it, I want to eat it, is there a problem?"

"no problem."

Xie Cinian reached out to take the bag from Pei Zhi's hand.

Pei Zhi took two steps back and said impatiently, "Just say what you want to say."

"You still haven't returned my coat."

Pei Zhi looked at Xie Cinian incredulously, "Have you gone bankrupt? It's just a coat, why are you going back?"

Given Xie Ci Nian's wealth, why would he still remember a jacket? Surely not.

Xie Cinian said sincerely, "Besides being expensive, that coat also has a special meaning to me, so please return it to me."

Pei Zhi retorted bluntly, "When I go out, do I always carry a men's jacket with me?"

"If you're really in a hurry, give me an address and I'll have someone send it back to you!"

Xie Cinian shook his head, "I'm not too comfortable having someone deliver it."

"What if that person gets greedy and steals my coat to sell?

Pei Zhi rolled her eyes helplessly, "These tailor-made clothes wouldn't fetch a good price even if you tried to sell them, okay?"

The high price of these bespoke suits comes from the personal customization and labor costs.

"My coat is very important to me, so I'll play it safe."

Xie Cinian reached out his hand to Pei Zhi, "Give me your contact information. I'll call you whenever it's convenient for me, and I'll come pick it up myself."

“No need,” Pei Zhi refused. “Have your driver drive. We’ll go get your coat now.”

Xie Cinian sighed, "Although I really want to get my coat back now, my flight is in an hour, so there's not enough time."

Pei Zhi sized up Xie Cinian. "Xie Cinian, it's been years. I didn't realize you'd gotten so shameless."

Pei Zhi could easily see that Xie Cinian's whole ordeal was just to get her contact information.

Pei Zhi was too lazy to argue with Xie Cinian anymore, so she simply took out her phone and handed it to him.

Pei Zhi's phone was not password protected, so Xie Cinian used it to dial his number.

"I'm warning you, if your wife comes after me because of you, I'm not someone to be trifled with."

Xie Cinian didn't quite understand what Pei Zhi meant: "Wife?"

Pei Zhi looked at the wedding ring on Xie Cinian's hand and said, "What are you pretending for?"

Xie Cinian returned the phone to Pei Zhi, opened his mouth to explain, but ultimately couldn't hold back his anger, snorted, and turned to get into the car.

Pei Zhi was somewhat bewildered by Xie Cinian's sarcastic snort.

She was reminding Xie Cinian, so why was Xie Cinian angry?

Pei Zhi didn't want to get involved with a married man; it wouldn't be good for anyone.

Xie Ci Nian got into the car angrily, then rubbed her wedding ring on her hand.

Pei Zhi was right; the ring in Xie Cinian's hand was indeed a wedding ring.

But this wedding ring was put on Xie Cinian's finger by Pei Zhi when they got married.

Aside from the time when Xie Cinian was really angry after divorcing Pei Zhi, he took off his wedding ring for several months.

Over the years, Xie Ci Nian has never parted with this wedding ring.

As a result, Pei Zhi didn't recognize her.

Pei Zhi thought that the wedding ring belonged to him and someone else.

His resignation was so shameless that he was married and still thinking about his ex-wife?

Xie Cinian believed that he had long since seen through Pei Zhi's true nature.

However, Xie Ci Nian was still quite angry with Pei Zhi.

Pei Zhi spat at the departing car, "Pah!"

Scumbag!

He's married, yet he still keeps bothering her.

She wasn't even angry yet, and Xie Cinian was already giving her the cold shoulder. What a jinx.

No wonder Pei Zhi didn't recognize the ring.

Firstly, Pei Zhi had long forgotten what the wedding ring actually looked like.

Secondly, it was already dark outside, so it was hard to see anything clearly.

Besides, Xie Cinian has been wearing this ring for ten years. Even if Pei Zhi were to see it, she probably wouldn't recognize it.

The following day, Hu Shih had a jewelry photoshoot.

As Hu Shi's assistant, Pei Zhi naturally had to go to the scene.

While Hu Shi was getting his makeup done, Pei Zhi stayed in the dressing room, drinking milk tea and playing on her phone with her legs crossed.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Hu, we probably can't film today."

After Hu Shih finished his makeup and changed his clothes, the assistant director came in with an apologetic look on his face.

Agent Wang immediately stood up, "What happened?"

"The partner we selected to film with Teacher Hu got into a car accident on the way and can't come."

Upon hearing that someone had been in a car accident, Brother Wang's tone softened considerably. "Is the person alright?"

"He's alright, but he has a mild concussion, so filming today is definitely out."

The assistant director pleaded, "Could you postpone it for a few days? Give us a few days to select another actress."

Brother Wang was also in a dilemma. "It really won't work. Hu Shi has an interview tomorrow, and he has to go to another city to record a variety show the following two days."

"The earliest arrangement will be in ten days."

The assistant director quickly shook his head: "It's definitely not going to work in ten days."

"We will be fully rolling out our new product in ten days, but there simply isn't enough time."

Brother Wang also said helplessly, "This filming will take at least a day, and it's not enough for us to spare a few hours."

"Please wait a moment. Our director is on the phone, trying to see if we can find a female actress to come over temporarily."

Brother Wang nodded, "Okay, tell me what the requirements are for actresses, and I'll use my connections to look for some."

Brother Wang also hopes that filming can end today to avoid delaying the work that follows.

"No need to show her face, just film the actress's back. She should have fair skin, and preferably be a dancer."

"To be a good match for Teacher Hu, you need to be over 1.7 meters tall and weigh no more than 95 kilograms, otherwise your back won't look good."

"There should be no scars or moles on the back, otherwise it will affect the aesthetics."

Brother Wang frowned as he listened, but then he remembered that Hu Shi was endorsing high-end jewelry.

It's normal to have higher expectations.

Brother Wang replied, "Okay, we'll all make some calls and see if we can get it sorted out today."

When Hu Shi heard that the filming was not going to happen, he sat down in his chair and started playing on his phone, letting Brother Wang handle the negotiations.
