He watched from behind the scenes as Fu Chi secretly gave Lu Yibei a thumbs-up as she came up on stage.
Then, he smiled slightly and took out his phone to reply to the message.
Xia Li: Insidious!
[Li Si: This is an open conspiracy]
[Li Si: Are you satisfied now?]
He continued to look at the stage.
"And that concludes this year's welcome party—"
Fu Chi gave the closing remarks and bowed to the audience along with the actors on stage.
Li Si's phone vibrated again.
He checked the message and then gave a subtle smile.
Xia Li: Mm.
He put his phone back in his pocket, raised his arms, stretched lazily, and muttered to himself:
"He's satisfied but doesn't even offer a compliment... really."
He then suppressed his somewhat complaining expression, strode to the front desk, clapped his hands loudly, and addressed the staff members who were about to leave the stage and all those present:

"Given to me by Brother Bei."
Xia Lixing rolled her eyes and said indifferently, "There were only two. I ate the other one."
“No, is Brother Bei really that stingy?” Fu Chi said.
“That’s right, that’s right.” Xia Li nodded repeatedly, finally finding someone she could talk to.
She was just about to complain to Fu Chi when she heard Li Si say quietly:
"Fu Chi, you're talking badly about Brother Bei behind his back, aren't you?"
Fu Chi was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "...I didn't, President, don't slander me!"
"You seem to have a lot of free time?" Li Si asked with a smile.
"...I'm going to work!"
