Chapter 704 She is a big star now
Her trick was really low-level and disgusting, but it worked.
At such times, many people often don't really fight for it out of face, and just think that the other party is standing in the wrong position unintentionally.
Zhu Pingxia was sure that Chen Li would not dare to compete with her on the stage, and the assistant also said that even if people later found out that she had taken Chen Li's position, she could just say that the assistant had made a mistake and put all the blame on the assistant.
Zhu Pingxia's face was showing an increasingly proud expression, but she didn't expect that the next second, a hand suddenly stretched out from the gap between her and Song Yuner, and with a little force, it pulled Zhu Pingxia two steps to the side.
Zhu Pingxia turned around in surprise and met Chen Li's still smiling face, but the voice that fell into his ears was a little cold: "Find your place."
Without waiting for Zhu Pingxia to react, Chen Li relied on her slender figure and squeezed herself into the space that was not spacious to begin with.
Song Yuner smiled and looked sideways at her, whispering, "Well done!"
Chen Li still smiled. If it were in the past, she would definitely have endured it.
But now, she would never let herself down, as she had promised her sister!
The people on the left had to move one after another. Zhu Pingxia was embarrassed and annoyed, and the smile on her face turned from proud to embarrassed. She really didn't expect that Chen Li would dare to actually push her away!
This scene was naturally broadcast live. Chen Ci couldn't help but smile with relief when he saw his sister's tough side with his mobile phone.
But the next second she realized that she had something important to do. She had to figure out what happened to Ali.
At this time, Shen Jingjing was busy in the company and was still unaware of what had just happened.
There was a knock on the office door, and Shen Jingjing looked up.
"Sister Jingjing."
Xiao Li at the front desk pushed the door open and walked in, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand: "Your flowers."
Shen Jingjing was surprised: "Who sent it?"
Xiao Li glanced at the card and replied, "It's from Mr. Fei."
Upon hearing this, Shen Jingjing held her forehead and took a deep breath, then nodded: "Put it on the table."
Xiao Li put the flowers down and walked out.
Shen Jingjing stared at the flower for a moment, then picked up the phone on the table and prepared to call Fei Yunzong to tell him not to do this kind of thing again.
But before the call was made, a video call popped up on WeChat.
It’s the old lady at home!
Seeing this, Shen Jingjing hung up directly, then changed the phone and called back.
"Jingjing, why don't you answer my video call?"
As soon as they spoke, they heard the old lady's unhappy voice.
Shen Jingjing still used the same excuse as before: "The camera on my phone is broken and I haven't repaired it yet."
"Oh, if the camera is broken, just replace it with a phone. Why are you wasting time?"
Shen Jingjing deliberately didn't answer the old lady's video calls. She didn't answer them at home, let alone at the company.
If the old lady knew that I now live in a villa and run a company, you can imagine the trouble that will follow.
For money, she could arrange a blind date for herself with an old man. Shen Jingjing understood her mother best.
"Mom, are you okay? I'm at work." Shen Jingjing asked.
The last time they spoke on the phone was during the Chinese New Year. As a daughter, she still had to call her mother to wish her a happy new year and give her a red envelope, but she didn't give much, only five cents, which was no different from previous years.
"Go to work? What kind of work are you doing?"
"Cleaning."
"Cleaning?" the old lady exclaimed. "Oh, why are you still cleaning? Isn't Ali a big star? Why doesn't she give you the money she earns?"
Hearing this, Shen Jingjing's heart skipped a beat.
No matter how much she tried to hide it, it still didn't work. As Ali became more and more famous, her exposure also increased.
Even though the old lady had never seen Ali since she was a child, someone could always recognize her through the photos she had posted on WeChat Moments earlier.
Shen Jingjing said calmly: "She gave it to me, so I can't just do nothing. Mom, are you okay? If not, I'll get busy first. I have a lot of work on my hands."
"Something's going on," the old lady said hurriedly, without hesitation or embarrassment: "Your brother wants to open a factory in partnership with someone and wants to get some money from you."
Look at what he said. He didn’t even ask if he wanted to borrow it. He just took it.
"What is he going to do now?" Shen Jingjing said impatiently: "How many holes have you filled for him? Wasn't that supermarket doing well before? Can't you live a peaceful life?"
"Why are you saying all this? Can't your brother just give you a piece of his mind?" The old lady defended her son and complained, "Your child is already a successful one. I heard from Xiao Chao that celebrities these days can make tens or hundreds of dollars per episode of a TV series. What's wrong with you giving your brother some?"
"Don't say you don't have any. You picked up a daughter and raised her for twenty years, working hard to bring her up. If she earns money, who else should she give it to if not you?"
Shen Jingjing felt annoyed after hearing these words.
She immediately reminded him unhappily, "Mom, let me say it again, Ah Li is my daughter, she is my biological child. If anyone of you ever says that I picked her up again, I will get angry with you."
"Also, I raised Ali. I raised her all by myself. It has nothing to do with you and my brother. Why should she give the money she earns to my brother?"
"Oh my, you're still in a bad mood!" The old lady on the other end of the phone jumped up and said, "Don't tell me these useless things. Your brother needs money now, just tell me whether you will give it to him or not!"
Shen Jingjing held her forehead and took a deep breath to calm herself down.
Although she was angry, she knew the old lady's temper. If she didn't give her anything, she would definitely make a big fuss.
I'm not afraid of anything else, but I'm afraid that Ali's life story will be revealed by the old lady.
Why has she never taken Ali back to her hometown over the years? It’s because there are too many people around and she is afraid that Ali will know the truth.
Because Ah Li was not her own child, but she brought her home from the park on a cold autumn day in Shenzhen and Hong Kong.
"How much does he want?" Shen Jingjing asked coldly.
The old lady asked for a huge sum: "300!"
"How much?" Shen Jingjing immediately laughed angrily: "Just let him rob a bank!"
"More than 300? Being a celebrity isn't something you can easily earn!"
"I told you, Ali's money has nothing to do with you. I gave him my own money, just 50 yuan. Take it or leave it!"
Upon hearing this, the old lady held up five fingers to her youngest son and mouthed, "Fifty."
Seeing this, Shen Chengcheng shook his head repeatedly: “It’s too little, mom, eighty, you told my sister eighty!”
"Eighty!" the old lady said immediately, "You pay eighty, and if there's not enough left, we'll find another way."
"Fifty, love or not, if you don't want any, I'm hanging up."
"Oh, oh, oh, yes, yes, fifty is fine." The old lady was so angry that her teeth itched: "You haven't come back for so many years that we have become estranged. Even your brother..."
Shen Jingjing was too lazy to listen to the old lady's nonsense and interrupted her directly: "Ask Chengcheng to write me an IOU and take a photo for me. If you don't write it, you won't get any money."
The old lady choked: "You..."
Shen Jingjing had already hung up the phone.
