The woman in front of him had a thin and sallow face, and she did not hide her desire for money.
"One million?"
Ji Li chuckled barely audibly, and he slowly raised his eyes, the coldness that had been accumulated in his eyes for a long time bursting out, "Do you deserve it? Even if I sell you from head to toe, you are still not worth this much money."
This was said bluntly, with undisguised disgust in the tone.
The arrogance on Xie Kefang's face froze, and she obviously couldn't believe that this was what the young man would say to her.
She reacted for a few seconds, hurriedly rolled up her sleeves, and habitually raised her hand to pinch the other person's ears, "You shameless little bastard! You dare to challenge me, right? I..."
Ji Li quickly moved sideways and grabbed the other person's wrist, "Xie Kefang, I advise you not to provoke me. I am not the Ji Li of the past. I don't have a shameless vampire relative like you."
The woman was very ruthless and would get violent towards the young man whenever she was not satisfied. On several occasions, the latter's ears were twisted by her until they were swollen and bruised.
When Ji Li thought of this, he tightened his grip with greater force.
Xie Kefang's facial features were distorted due to the pain, and she felt that the other party would break her wrist in the opposite direction in the next second.
She took a few deep breaths and argued, "You ungrateful bastard, I've raised you for so many years! What's wrong with asking for some child support now?"
"You still have the nerve to call yourself a celebrity? You're not even willing to pay this little money! Bah, what a bullshit!"
Ji Li found the noise unbearable and pushed Xie Kefang away from him mercilessly.
The floor outside the toilet was a little slippery. Xie Kefang lost her balance and fell on her back, almost breaking her waist. "Ouch..."
Ji Li picked up a clean wet wipe beside him and wiped his palm vigorously with disgust.
He refused to even look at Xie Kefang who fell to the ground and cried out in pain.
Xie Kefang was stimulated by the pain, and seeing that the young man was indifferent, she became furious.
"Your mother is a bastard. She had an affair with a wild man and gave birth to a bastard like you! What star? Aren't they just ancient actors, cheap people who can get into anyone's bed as long as they get paid..."
All of a sudden, all the bad words and profanity came out of his mouth, which was a complete insult to people's ears.
Ji Li couldn't stand it anymore and threw the wet towel on her face, "Shut your stinky mouth."
Ji Li didn't want to waste time here, so he just kept calm and took a detour. There was no need for him to be polite to such a woman, but there was even less need for him to pay any attention to her.
How could Xie Kefang just keep quiet like that? She jumped over from the ground, hugged the young man's legs tightly, and said, "I won't let you leave today!"
A customer who was dining there was frightened by the stalemate between the two people just as he walked to the toilet door. "This is..."
Ji Li pressed down his hat, and the coldness in his eyes began to rise into tremendous anger.
If he could, he would have kicked her, but if he really did that, Xie Kefang would definitely use this as an excuse to go even crazier.
Seeing that someone was paying attention to her, Xie Kefang simply changed her previous tantrum and pretended to cry, "Hey, everyone, please give us some advice!"
"I worked hard for my relative to raise his son for more than 20 years, but I didn't expect that he would end up being an ungrateful person!"
"My family is in urgent need of money, so this ungrateful bastard hid away from us. Now that we finally found him, he started beating us without saying a word!"
This period of time is past the dinner peak.
There weren't many customers in the restaurant, but there were still a few tables eating. After hearing Xie Kefang's howling at the top of her lungs, everyone looked over with curiosity.
Ji Li lowered his gaze and saw the stains on his black trouser legs that were rubbed by Xie Kefang. The temperature of his entire aura dropped to freezing point.
He pulled away with all his strength, breaking free from the other party's restraints.
But Xie Kefang took the opportunity to act, falling to the ground and pretending to cry out in pain, "Did you see that? He just kicked me again! Help, my ribs are about to be broken, ouch."
This loud and powerful voice makes everyone come over to watch.
The front desk manager and the waiter noticed something was wrong and rushed over immediately, "What's going on?"
Ji Li looked at Xie Kefang who was "crying thief", and was about to fight back when he was interrupted by a voice from behind.
"What's going on? An old woman came out of nowhere and disturbed your customers' meals. Why don't you call the security guards to kick her out!"
Someone stood beside Ji Li and spoke with a hint of arrogance, as if giving an order.
Ji Li turned sideways and suddenly met those handsome and familiar eyes. It was Ji Yunqi.
The latter raised an eyebrow at him and then turned his gaze to Xie Kefang, who was still lying on the ground, obviously not understanding who this young man who suddenly appeared was.
Ji Yunqi threw the tissue in his hand and sneered impatiently, "It's so noisy. I can't even have a meal in my own restaurant in peace."
This restaurant is one of the brands of Ji’s catering industry. It is very close to the headquarters of Chaoying Company. After the training today, Ji Yunqi ran here to have a meal nearby.
Just now, while in the bathroom, he accidentally overheard the conversation between Ji Li and Xie Kefang outside. Later, looking at the latter's sudden change in expression, he determined the relationship between the two.
Ji Li is a debut artist under Chaoying, and it will never be good if some things are made a big deal.
As a film and television trainee in the same company, Ji Yunqi thought about it and decided to step forward to help.
No matter how slow the front desk manager is, he will definitely stand on Ji Yunqi's side at this moment.
He was originally looking forward to the show, but immediately became nervous, "Third Young Master? Don't be upset, I'll have someone kick this woman out right away."
The waiters who were watching nearby reacted quickly, one on each side grabbed Xie Kefang's side and pulled her up from the ground.
Xie Kefang obviously didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin would appear halfway. She was stunned for half a second before she fell down with all her strength. "Ouch, my ribs were broken. It hurts. I can't stand up anymore..."
Before she could finish her words, Ji Li picked up the mop beside him and threw it directly at her.
Xie Kefang was afraid that he would be hit, so he jumped on the spot.
He is very nimble and has no problems at all.
Ji Yunqi sneered, "Huh? You broke your ribs, but you're alive and kicking in ten seconds? It's truly a medical miracle."
The guests who were watching laughed when they heard this. They were not fools, so they would not be fooled by Xie Kefang's poor acting skills.
It's obvious at first glance that this woman is pretending to be crazy and stupid. I guess she's just looking for a rich man to "explore" her.
His trick was exposed in public. Xie Kefang heard the laughter from the people around him and his face turned red. "Mr. Ji, don't be so proud. I..."
When the front desk manager heard the first half of this sentence, he was so frightened that he quickly asked the waiter to carry her away and kick her out.
Where did this crazy woman come from?
You dare to scold the Third Young Master Ji on Ji family’s territory. You must want to die!
"Young Master Ji, I will thank you properly next time we meet at the company. Excuse me now." Ji Li looked at Xie Kefang who was about to be kicked out of the restaurant, pressed his hat again, and quickly followed her out.
Ji Yunqi always felt that things were not that simple. He called the restaurant manager over and gave him some instructions, then he quietly went out to check the situation.
Half a minute later.
Xie Kefang stood in the parking lot in front of the restaurant, her whole body filled with anger. She looked at Ji Li who was walking over and cursed, "You conscienceless bastard, what's wrong with me asking you for some money?"
——Bang!
A wine glass was smashed into pieces at Xie Kefang's feet. It was the one Ji Li had just taken from the wine table.
Ji Li slowly took off his cap, revealing his gloomy eyes. "There are no surveillance cameras here. If you really want to break your ribs, I can help you."
Xie Kefang had never seen such a terrifying look before, and she immediately shuddered, "You... do you dare?"
The young man sneered, as if he had heard some funny joke, "What am I afraid of?"
"By the way, I remember that Ji Youlai is attending a fake university now? Back then, you used my signing bonus to find him a backdoor?"
Xie Kefang was originally feeling guilty about the "signing bonus", and now that she suddenly heard about her beloved son, her heart skipped a beat for no reason, "You don't mean anything?"
Ji Li stood still, speaking every word with great ease.
"From now on, if you dare to come to me once, I will find someone to go to Ji Youlai's school and make trouble."
"If you want to 'suck blood' from me, I will find someone to ask Ji You to spread the word to the whole school—"
"His mother is a shameless person who only knows how to scam people and steal money! His Ji Youlai is also a shameless person who bought someone else's place to get into the school!"
Xie Kefang was so angry at these words that she was shaking and was speechless, "...you!"
She loved the good-for-nothing Ji Youlai to an unspeakable degree. Yes, she is thick-skinned and willing to take risks, but that doesn’t mean she would be willing to let the former suffer any injustice.
If the young man really found someone to go to the school and spread nonsense, wouldn't her son's future be ruined?
No, this won’t do!
Ji Li grabbed her vital point accurately and hit her accurately. "Of course, if you really push me to the limit, I will find someone to break Ji Youlai's legs!"
Ji Li spoke in a deep voice, and the murderous intent in his words was clearly heard.
Xie Kefang is a rough person who has never seen the world. She is unruly and materialistic. It is impossible to sit down and reason with her.
The best way to deal with her is to fight roughness with roughness and violence with violence.
Xie Kefang's face turned pale, obviously frightened by Ji Li's words, "If you dare to do this, I will, I will call the police!"
It sounded like a threat, but in fact it contained a bit of unnatural nervousness and trembling that was easily blown away by the night wind.
Baozi, who was waiting on the side, couldn't help it anymore. He picked up a fist-sized stone from the ground and threw it over.
"Bah, get out of the way, how dare you threaten our Brother Ji?"
In a fit of rage, Baozi lost his aim and missed Xie Kefang. He was unwilling to give up and planned to pick up stones on the ground.
"Let's go, accompany me to the restaurant to pay for the wine glass."
Ji Li patted his assistant's shoulder, not wanting to waste any more time here.
After all, he is a public figure now, and his words and actions are more restrained than those of ordinary people.
Xie Kefang did not pose any substantial threat to him from a legal perspective...
Right and wrong are in the hearts of people and are easy to judge, but it is difficult to define if it does not rise to the legal level.
Xie Kefang looked at the two people's backs as they left, his face turning pale.
She never imagined that in less than half a year, the usually honest and dull young man would become so heartless!
She had promised Ji Youlai that she could get the money, but now, not only did she not get a penny, but she was also warned by Ji Li...
How can she explain this?
"Xiao Li, if you don't have the 1 million, 100,000 will do! Your cousin really needs it urgently..."
Xie Kefang was extremely anxious and planned to chase after him and try to give in and make excuses.
As a result, the next second, her feet slipped on the stones and she fell backwards.
——Crack.
A slight cracking sound was heard inside the body.
Before Xie Kefang could react, the piercing pain completely overwhelmed her.
Her face turned pale instantly and she opened her mouth weakly to ask for help, but she usually had a loud voice, but now she could only whimper in pain.
In the quiet night, no one noticed her presence.
On the other side, Ji Yunqi, who was standing stealthily in the corner, witnessed the whole process.
He didn't return to the restaurant until Ji Li and Baozi paid for the wine glasses and left.
The front desk manager saw him and came up to ask, "Third Young Master, that Western meal is getting cold. Can I have someone make you a new one?"
Ji Yunqi waved his hand, his expression was very calm, "Whatever, you decide."
The manager did not dare to neglect him and personally sent him back to the box.
The former had just closed the door of the box and had not yet taken a step to leave when he heard Ji Yunqi's excited voice coming from inside.
“——Aaaaaah, he was so cool just now!”
"???"
The manager was stunned for a few seconds, then knocked on the door cautiously, "Third Master? Are you okay?"
The noise inside froze for a moment, and the answer he gave was as arrogant as ever, "It's okay, hurry up and have someone prepare dinner, I'm starving."
The manager breathed a sigh of relief and quickly went to prepare.
Ji Yunqi opened the door a crack, and after making sure that the manager had gone far away, he sat down on the sofa in the box and thought about what he had just seen and heard.
In the past two years, Mrs. Ji has had a little hobby, which is to stay at home and watch weird TV dramas about "family matters". As her little grandson, Ji Yunqi is often dragged by her to watch them together.
Every time the latter sees the horrible relatives in a TV show, and the scenes where the protagonist has to endure... he feels suffocated even through the screen.
As a result, he just witnessed Xie Kefang's extreme behavior, and saw Ji Li's super cool and direct response...
Even if he was just watching, he felt relaxed both physically and mentally.
Ji Yunqi opened his WeChat Moments, hummed a tune and sent a message - It’s great, I met someone cooler than me tonight!
Ji Yunqi waited for a long time before he received a reply from his brother and sister.
Big Brother:?
Second sister: Hahaha, who can compare to you, the king of bullying?
He replied to Ji Yueming cheerfully: I am willing to give up my seat for him for one second!
He forced Wang Ji Yunqi to sit up straight, and pretended to take out a pair of sunglasses from his pocket and put them on his face.
He gave a satisfied thumbs-up again, "Very good. I give myself full marks for this non-property performance."
…
A week later, Super Film Culture.
Ji Li had just arrived at the company when he unexpectedly saw a familiar figure at the elevator entrance.
Qin Li was wearing a camel-colored long trench coat, which showed off his proud figure to the fullest. His hair was cut shorter than the last time we met, making him look more capable.
The man's well-defined profile was as eye-catching as ever. He was holding a cup of coffee, and his slender fingers showed a beautiful curve.
I have to say that the other person's outfit is completely in line with Ji Li's aesthetic point of view.
Ji Li's eyes lit up, "Brother Li."
Qin Li turned sideways and was unexpectedly bumped into the young man's bright smile. The other person was wearing a black coat with a white turtleneck sweater underneath.
It looks warm, and it must be very warm to hold it in your arms.
Qin Li subconsciously pushed up his silver-rimmed glasses to hide the glimmer in his eyes. He smiled and said, "Long time no see."
Qi An took a half step back without leaving a trace, suppressing his inner desire to complain——
The entertainment industry is so big that some actors can only be seen once a year.
The last time they met the young man was no more than a month and a half ago, so how could it be like they hadn't seen him for a long time?
Ji Li stood beside him and asked, "Why are you here in Chaoying?"
Qin Li said, "There is a film and television project in preparation. Let me talk to your CEO Tao."
When Ji Li heard the words "film and television project", a hint of curiosity flashed across his eyes. However, he knows his limits. Some film and television projects have not been officially announced yet, and as an artist he cannot ask too many questions.
Baozi followed and greeted politely.
The elevator door opened and four people walked in one after the other.
Qin Li stood behind the young man, watching him wrap himself up tightly, and for some reason he thought he looked cute. "Are you afraid of the cold?"
"Yeah." Ji Li turned sideways and curled his lips embarrassedly.
In terms of being afraid of cold, the original owner's physique is exactly the same as his previous self.
Before wrapping up, he still had two rain scenes to shoot, and in the middle of winter, he was worried.
"When will the film be completed?" Qin Li continued to ask.
"If everything goes well, we can finish shooting the day after tomorrow."
The film crew has moved back to Hai City for filming, and all the major roles have been gradually completed, with only a few days left for the entire crew to wrap up filming.
Qin Li nodded thoughtfully.
The elevator stopped on the eleventh floor.
Baozi tiptoed on his backpack and reminded, "Brother Ji, we're here."
Yu Fuya arranged an e-magazine interview for them this morning.
Ji Li smiled at Qin Li and Qi An and said, "I still have work to do, so I'll be leaving first."
"Um."
Only after Ji Li left did Qin Li's heartstrings relax, and the cold aura around him eased.
Qi An keenly sensed his emotions and asked jokingly, "How can you be so happy after meeting each other?"
Qin Li pushed his glasses and walked out of the elevator silently.
…
The interview questions for the e-magazine were communicated in advance, so it went smoothly.
After the interviewers left, Ji Li picked up a stack of thin documents on the cabinet. It was a brief biography of the movie script that had just been delivered yesterday.
Ji Li glanced at two pages and put it back on the table with dissatisfaction.
After sending the interviewer away, Yu Fuya came back and saw the young man's helpless expression, "Why? The new script is still not good."
"Hmm, not quite what I wanted."
The character setting is very superficial, and it can be seen at first glance that the script biography was written using the most popular template at the moment. It is still unknown what the final draft will be like.
"If you don't like it, don't watch it. Anyway, we plan to rest until after the New Year." Yu Fuya comforted.
Ji Li nodded, but before he could speak, Baozi came running over in a hurry, holding a laptop.
"Brother Ji, this is bad! Something big has happened!"
Yu Fuya frowned slightly, "Don't be so startled and scare me, just talk nicely!"
"Sister Yu, something really happened."
Baozi walked between the two of them and displayed the page on his laptop. "Look, someone is bidding on Ji Ge's personal belongings online."
Ji Li's eyes changed immediately and he scanned the content on the web page.
Ten Ji Li elementary, middle and high school award certificates, starting price is 100 yuan per certificate; Ji Li junior high school uniform jacket, starting price is 500 yuan; Ji Li graduation photo, starting price is 800 yuan...
There are all kinds of items with the "Jili" label, but the most eye-catching one is - Jili, underwear.
This naked name for an object is simply challenging the fans' curiosity.
In the comment section below, some fans were skeptical, some were shocked, and some fans were waiting to see the show... This auction transaction has already been pushed to the top of the website's daily hot list.
In addition to his duties as an assistant, Baozi is also the middleman between fans and the company. He quickly explained the reason to the two, "It was sent to me by the group owner of Brother Ji's Weibo fan group..."
This is a second-hand website dedicated to peripheral transactions between fans.
You can find celebrity autographs, posters, and out-of-stock endorsements on it. These items related to Jili will be put on the shelves at 12 noon, and the bidding time ends at 6 pm today.
The store owner's account is a newly registered one-star account. It is obvious that he is a person with bad intentions who is trying to make a quick buck.
"Although this transaction seems absurd, some fans will really be deceived. Brother Ji, take a look, there are already anonymous IDs bidding below."
The cultural level of the fan circle has always been uneven. There are academic masters with good academic qualifications and high emotional intelligence who chase stars, and there are also young elementary school students with immature consumption concepts. Of course, there is no shortage of rich people.
Baozi scrolled down to the bidding page and pointed it to Ji Li and Yu Fuya, "I just did a preliminary calculation, and the highest bid total is at least 50,000."
This absolutely cannot go on.
When the fans find out that they have been cheated, they will definitely be angry, and Ji Li will be the one who suffers.
Yu Fuya obviously thought of this. She suppressed her anger and said, "Imitations cannot become real. I will..."
"These things should be true." Ji Li replied with a grim expression.
He was able to search out identical photos of these physical objects on the shelves from the memories of the original owners, and they were obviously the items that the original owners used to own.
"Damn it, Brother Ji, was it your aunt who did this?" When Baozi heard this, he rarely swore.
"Xie Kefang can't read a few words and doesn't understand how to put these items on the shelves. It should be her son Ji You who did it." Ji Li almost immediately identified the person behind it.
He underestimated the mother and son's ability to make trouble!
He didn't expect that the other party would not change his bad habits. Since he couldn't get money from him, he actually came up with such a dirty idea!
"I'll contact the public relations department now." Yu Fuya couldn't sit still anymore and stood up quickly.
Before she could make the call, the public relations director called first.
