She looked at Zhou Hongwei, asking him to say a few words for her.
Zhou Hongwei understood Bai Xiruo's meaning and said to Cao Jie, "Young Master Cao, what kind of sincerity are you talking about?"
Cao Jie smiled and looked at Bai Xiruo: "I'm having a private party with my friends tomorrow. Would you be willing to be my date?"
Female companion?
Bai Xiruo sneered inwardly; Cao Jie's true intentions were clearly not what they seemed.
But if I don't go, I'll miss out on this role completely.
Being able to appear in Xu Ziqian's film is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and she really thinks highly of the script. If she performs well, she is very likely to win a major television award.
The thought of having to sell her body for profit made her realize how she was any different from those female celebrities she used to look down on.
Just as Bai Xiruo was hesitating, Cao Jie's phone rang.
Cao Jie answered the phone in front of Zhou Hongwei and Bai Xiruo. The office was very quiet, so the conversation on the other end of the line could be heard clearly.
It was a delicate, sweet woman's voice, and she started to act all coquettish as soon as she opened her mouth.
Finally, we got to the main point, which was also because we were there for Director Xu's film.
Cao Jie gave Bai Xiruo a meaningful look and smiled wickedly.
"Let me think about it."
The girl on the other end of the phone exclaimed "Oh my!" with a sweet, seductive voice that sent a shiver down Zhou Hongwei's spine.
"As long as you can get them to play this role, they'll agree to anything you ask."
"Mr. Cao, what time is the party tomorrow?" She couldn't miss this opportunity. Although she looked down on Cao Jie's background, he could indeed help her get what she wanted.
Cao Jie's eyes flickered, a carefree smile appeared on his lips, and he hung up the phone.
The meat he had eaten before could no longer arouse his desire. Compared to those minor celebrities who actively climbed onto him, a young lady like Bai Xiruo, who had grown up in the Bai family, was much more interesting.
"I'll pick you up at 10 a.m. tomorrow?"
"Okay!" Bai Xiruo nodded readily in agreement.

evening
A car slowly came to a stop in front of the Wei family's gate.
A woman who looked to be in her fifties came up to greet them from outside the door, helped open the back door, and greeted them with a smile.
"Are you Miss Bai?"
"Yes, that's me!" Bai Qianmo stepped out of the car and nodded politely to the woman in front of her.
The other person's eyes were full of smiles: "I am the steward of the Wei family. My surname is Li, and my given name is Ping."
"Hello, Aunt Ping."
Seeing Bai Qianmo's politeness, Aunt Ping couldn't stop smiling.
"Old Master Wei, Madam Wei, and the young master are all in the hall. Please come in."
Bai Qianmo nodded and followed Aunt Ping inside.
Upon entering the hall, Aunt Ping greeted everyone with a smile.
"Master, Madam, Miss Bai has arrived!"
Bai Qianmo appeared to be following Aunt Ping without looking to the side, but she had already silently observed her from the corner of her eye.
Servants come and go in the courtyard from time to time. Although it is winter, the huge mansion is full of plum blossoms of various colors, adding a touch of vitality. The whole courtyard is simple and clean, with a profound historical atmosphere.
It is said that this is an old house with a history of more than 200 years, and it is truly remarkable that it has been preserved so well.
