Chapter 262 Living a pretty comfortable life
After finally finishing filming the video and sending it to Fu Ruyan, he had just sat down when Fu Ruyan called him on video, commenting on his video.
"Tsk tsk, you're getting more and more skilled, aren't you? Looks like you've been practicing a lot... hahaha."
The sofa next to Shen Congxuan had a large hole torn in it, which is why he refrained from rushing to the other side and tearing the woman to pieces.
Fu Ruyan finally hung up the phone when she was tired. Shen Congxuan felt nauseous and went to take a shower. When he came out, he received a call from his subordinate, "Mr. Shen, we have found out that Su Xi should be hiding in Ye Qingqian's villa."
Shen Congxuan rubbed his temples. "Withdraw your orders. You are not allowed to stalk or harass Miss Su again."
The man in black on the other side was completely dumbfounded.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Congxuan thought for a moment and then dialed Su Xi's number. There was no answer. He then sent a message, "Ms. Su, I'm sorry, I was having a bipolar disorder episode, which caused my drastic personality change. I apologize for what I did before."
I've had all my people withdrawn; they won't bother you anymore. Can we still be friends?
Ye Qingqian leaned closer and saw it, her eyes practically rolling to the sky. It was truly hilarious; she had never seen such a shameless person.
Su Xi replied calmly, "There's no need for friends. Let's treat each other like strangers from now on."
Ye Qingqian stared wide-eyed in disbelief. That's it? Has Su Xi gone mad? Or is she terrified of Shen Congxuan?
Shen Congxuan was also surprised. "You can name any amount of compensation you want for what happened that day. Just don't report it to the police."
"The money is not needed, and I will not report it to the police. Manager Shen, there's a saying that, though crude, is quite apt."
"you say."
"I'm not afraid of thieves stealing from me, I'm afraid of thieves eyeing me. I just hope that Manager Shen can leave me alone from now on and not bother me anymore. Let bygones be bygones."
"Okay, I promise you."
The moment she hung up the phone, Ye Qingqian was already standing in front of Su Xi like a ghost, her hands outstretched as if she wanted to strangle her.
"Su Xi, have you lost your mind?"
Su Xi looked helpless and explained, "Attorney Qian just called me and said that Shen Congxuan's people have found out that I'm with you."
I don't know why he suddenly stopped, but right now, neither of us can fight him, and I don't want to take the risk. Once Feng Jue wakes up, I'll leave Luo City and then submit the evidence to the police station.
"Oh, I see. You scared me." Ye Qingqian looked at her with a "you're teachable" expression. "Xixi, you've learned to lie without batting an eye. You fooled me just now."
"If you can't even fool me, how can you fool Shen Congxuan?"
Ye Qingqian pouted, "You're comparing me to scum?"
Su Xi's eyes flickered. Someone had once said those words, instantly pulling her back to that time. Unfortunately, it's impossible for life to always be like the first encounter; everything is irreversible.
"Oh right, I'm going to the set of 'In the Mortal World' this afternoon. Filming wrapped up today, and I'm going there part-time as the AI technical director. There's also a small celebration party tonight. I'll probably be back around 8 or 9 pm."
"Yes, have Captain Wang protect you secretly. That way, if Shen Congxuan goes back on his word, we'll have someone to look after him."
This time, Su Xi did not refuse.
"I have some things to do this afternoon. If I finish them, I'll come to the film set to find you."
"good."
After lunch and a nap, Su Xi took a car to the set of "In the Mortal World".
Upon entering the film set, I saw a man bending over, diligently laying out camera tracks.
Su Xi glanced at him and exclaimed, "Oh, it's an old acquaintance!"
Unexpectedly, Captain Wang has switched to a production assistant role this time. It has to be said, Captain Wang still has some of the cunning of a double agent.
Su Xi went to her office to work. It was called an office, but it was actually a series of cubicles, with other staff members around.
After working for a while, Su Xi got up to make tea and saw several women gathered together, gossiping about her and giving her unfriendly looks.
"That's quite an achievement. They managed to get the screenwriter to kill off the female lead and replace her with a different one. Even Shen Feier's face was replaced by AI before."
"I heard she's here to oversee AI technology. She's really reaping all the benefits.
"Hmph, I've been in the entertainment industry for so long, and I've never heard of anything like this. Could Su Xi have slept with an investor, or maybe a director, or a screenwriter? Otherwise, how could she possibly be back at work like nothing happened after causing such a huge mess?"
"I heard she only comes here occasionally, for just one or two hours each time, but she earns this much money. Who would believe she doesn't sleep with people?"
Su Xi initially didn't intend to argue, since arguing with these people wouldn't get her paid. However, their words became increasingly offensive, and they even deliberately raised their voices, making it difficult for Su Xi to ignore them.
"Who said I slept with someone? Show me the evidence."
A woman said arrogantly, "Do I need evidence? Your face is the evidence."
"Which director? Which investor? And which screenwriter were they accompanying?"
"How would I know which one it is? You know best what you did, you might have even searched the whole place."
Snap!
Su Xi raised her hand and slapped the woman across the face.
The woman was stunned by the blow, and it took her a while to react. She covered her face and glared at Su Xi, wishing she could devour her. "Swordswoman, how dare you hit me?"
"You're spewing filth, shouldn't you be hit?" Su Xi grabbed the woman's hair and slapped her hard again.
He then pushed the person away in disgust.
The woman lost her balance and sat down on the ground. Looking up, she saw Su Xi elegantly wiping her fingers, clearly disgusted by their dirtiness. The woman's eyes immediately welled up with anger.
"Zhang Yuhan, Sun Zixin, Feng Feifei, what are you all standing there for? Smash her mouth open!"
Immediately, several women surrounded Su Xi with unfriendly expressions.
The woman who had been beaten rolled up her sleeves and said angrily, "Drag her to the toilet, strip her naked, and then beat her again."
With no one else around, Su Xi was suddenly left isolated and helpless.
But Su Xi didn't panic at all. Instead, she calmly took out her phone and pressed play.
Several women's vicious and lewd voices came from the phone; just by listening to their voices, one could imagine their ugly faces.
Upon hearing their own voices, the women froze on the spot. If word got out, how could they face anyone?
"You dress so well, yet you spread such vicious rumors. I wonder how your colleagues, superiors, relatives, and friends would react if they found out?"
The expressions on the faces of the group changed drastically. The woman who had been slapped said viciously, "Su Xi, how dare you record this? Don't forget I still have the slap mark on my face. We'll be in the right no matter where this gets out."
"Really? Then I'll release this recording online and let netizens see if you deserved to be hit?"
The woman in the lead felt a chill run down her spine. If this were posted online, they would definitely lose their jobs and never be able to face anyone again.
"You dare!"
"What wouldn't I dare to do? By the way, I also reserve the right to pursue your legal responsibilities."
Seeing the woman's serious expression, which didn't seem like she was joking, the group exchanged glances and immediately deflated like punctured balloons.
"Miss Su, we're sorry, we're just gossipy and meant no harm."
"Yes, Miss Su, we were just joking. We know you're not that kind of person at all."
The woman who was hit nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, the backgrounds designed by our previous AI director were so fake they were worse than just cutouts. Since you came, it's instantly become a whole new level. Every scene is like a movie. I know you have real talent and don't need to sleep with anyone."
"We only did it because we were jealous of you... We hope Miss Su will forgive us for our petty mistake."
"We dare not do it again, we will never dare to do it again."
Su Xi didn't want to make a big deal out of it. "That's for the best. You'd better avoid me in the future. If you dare to provoke me again, this recording will be exposed in the company group and online."
"I understand, I definitely won't do it again."
Only after seeing Su Xi nod did they dare to disperse.
The woman who had been beaten felt like she had swallowed a thousand flies; she was incredibly frustrated. Especially when she touched her swollen cheek, the pain made her eyelids twitch, and her mood became even more depressed.
I thought Su Xi was an easy target, but it turns out she's a rose covered in thorns. I really tried to steal a chicken but lost the bait instead.
These days, you can't even have a proper gossip talk, it's outrageous! Just as dissatisfaction welled up inside her, she remembered the recording the woman had, so she could only suppress her negative emotions and bury herself in her work.
After finishing her work, Su Xi wanted to leave, but Tan Rongzhi tried his best to persuade her to stay. "Miss Su, I'll introduce you to a new friend tonight. I'm sure you'll like her. Please give me your opinion."
Tan Rongzhi helped her many times, and she couldn't refuse.
The director also mentioned that investors would be coming to the wrap party. "One investor specifically asked the AI director to stay behind, as he might have some suggestions for changes. If you make those changes immediately, it will save you from having to make another trip."
A hint of suspicion flashed through Su Xi's mind. Why was she specifically asked to see someone? Could it be someone she knew? However, remembering that the director had only mentioned wanting to see the AI director, not her, she didn't think much of it.
After the director left, she looked at Tan Rongzhi and asked, "The person you're going to introduce to me isn't your girlfriend, is it? Who is she?"
You'll find out then.
The wrap party was held at a nearby hotel.
Su Xi was surprised to see so many familiar faces; Shen Feier and Xie Qingqing were also there.
Although their reputations were ruined, they had family support behind them, and many people bowed and scraped to them.
Upon seeing Su Xi, Shen Feier arrogantly raised her chin, "How could someone like her attend the wrap party? If I had known she was coming, I wouldn't have come. She's really ruining my mood."
Xie Qingqing whispered something in Shen Feier's ear, and the latter's expression immediately improved, and her gaze towards Su Xi became less hostile.
However, he still warned coldly, "Su Xi, you'd better behave yourself and not say what you shouldn't say. Now that your backer Feng Jue has fallen, I can crush you like an ant."
Su Xi sneered, "You're the one who should behave. If you provoke me, I'll post whatever I should and shouldn't say online. For example, last time you tried to frame me but ended up getting stripped naked..."
"Shut up!" Shen Feier's face flushed red with anger, wishing she could rush up and tear Su Xi's mouth apart.
"I can say whatever I want, Miss Shen can't control me. If someone like you can come, why can't I?"
"you!"
Shen Feier was about to rush forward when Xie Qingqing stopped her and whispered, "Let's finish that matter first, then we can settle accounts with her later."
"Su Xi, you just wait."
Shen Feier made a harsh statement and then let Xie Qingqing pull her away.
"Su Xi, long time no see. You seem to be having a great time lately."
A familiar voice rang out, carrying obvious sarcasm and chilling intent.
Su Xi's back stiffened instantly, and she whirled around. Her exquisitely beautiful face changed in an instant.
