When Hu Shi learned that Li Chang had drunk too much liquor and suffered alcohol poisoning, he was at home playing video games with Pei Zhi.
It was Brother Wang who called, saying that Li Chang had been drinking with some people and had drunk too much.
Hu Shih immediately started complaining: "Why did you drink so much? Don't you know your own limitations?"
"I heard that Lu Mingxu had dinner with him."
Hu Shih realized what was happening and looked at Pei Zhi, who was holding a game controller next to him.
"I understand now, I'm hanging up."
Hu Shih had just hung up his phone when it rang again the very next second.
Seeing the note, Hu Shi was not surprised at all.
Hu Shih greeted Pei Zhi, saying, "I'm going to the restroom."
Pei Zhi nodded, her eyes never leaving the screen.
Hu Shi went to the restroom and answered the phone.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
Hu Shi, however, had no intention of playing along with Lu Mingxu in this silent drama.
"If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now, I'm busy."
"I want to see her."
Hu Shi raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, "As expected of Lu Mingxu."
Top celebrities who retired from the entertainment industry for love are just as courageous, whether it was ten years ago or ten years later.
Even as Xie Cinian pretended to be two-faced, Chi Xiuwen had no idea that Pei Zhi had returned.
Lu Mingxu went straight to the point, making no attempt to hide anything.
"I'm not sure if she'll want to see you."
“But I’m going to the recording studio tomorrow to do some additional recordings for a movie, and she’ll be coming with me.”
Hu Shi was unsure whether Pei Zhi was willing to meet Lu Mingxu.
But Hu Shi could provide Lu Mingxu with an opportunity to meet Pei Zhi.
Whether Pei Zhi would be willing to chat with Lu Mingxu or something else after the meeting was beyond Hu Shi's control.
Anyway, Lu Mingxu already knew that Pei Zhi was back and they would meet sooner or later, so Hu Shi didn't need to stop them.
Of these three people, Hu Shih did not stand up for any of them.
Hu Shi supported Pei Zhi no matter who she was with.
Moreover, Pei Zhi is still so young and beautiful. Even if she wants to date, she doesn't necessarily have to go back to this ex.
Lu Mingxu understood Hu Shi's meaning: "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
The following day, Hu Shih's recording session was in the afternoon.
In their line of work, there are basically no mornings.
Most of the work is scheduled for the afternoon or evening.
You can record until 2:30 a.m., but you can't start work at 8 or 9 a.m.
Brother Wang couldn't come today because of something, anyway, it's just a supplementary recording job.
Hu Shih didn't even have his assistant come over; he and Pei Zhi came by car on their own.
The two got out of the elevator, and Pei Zhi saw the restroom sign.
"I need to use the restroom."
"Okay, I'm at the recording studio just ahead to the left. You can just come find me later."
Pei Zhi gave an OK sign and handed the bag and other items to Hu Shi.
Hu Shih pushed open the door to the recording studio and heard conversations coming from inside.
Why is Lu Mingxu here so early?
That's normal, after all, it's been ten years since we last met. Lu Mingxu probably didn't sleep well last night.
Upon opening the door and seeing the whole scene, Hu Shi's expression stiffened for a moment.
This doesn't make sense, does it?
Can anyone tell him why it was Chi Xiuwen in the room instead of Lu Mingxu?
"Teacher Hu, you've arrived?"
The staff members were the first to see Hu Shi and immediately greeted him warmly.
Hu Shi chuckled, "Hmm, not late, right?"
"No, no, you've arrived much earlier than I expected. Teacher Chi just finished here."
"I didn't expect that CEO Chi also does voice acting?"
The appearance of Chi Xiuwen here was truly beyond Hu Shih's expectations.
When Lu Mingxu sees this, what will he think?
Hu Shih is so inconsiderate; he invited Chi Xiuwen and Lu Mingxu to meet Pei Zhi.
Then what kind of person would Hu Shi become?
Chi Xiuwen explained calmly, "The company's animated film couldn't find suitable voice actors, and since the workload wasn't heavy, I did it myself."
Hu Shi feigned sudden realization: "Oh, I see."
Hu Shi glanced at his watch. "It's getting late. Since Mr. Chi is finished, shall I start working?"
Hu Shi's words clearly implied that he wanted to drive people away.
"Alright, I won't bother you any longer."
Seeing that Chi Xiuwen was so cooperative, Hu Shi breathed a sigh of relief.
Hu Shi kept praying in his heart that Pei Zhi's toilet door would break and she would be locked inside.
Otherwise, Pei Zhi might have an upset stomach and didn't bring any toilet paper!
Just one minute later, just one minute! Please, please, let it not be such a coincidence that Chi Xiuwen bumps into Pei Zhi as soon as he goes out!
Hu Shih followed Chi Xiuwen to the door, where Chi Xiuwen reached out and grasped the handle.
The door opened, and Hu Shi's vision went black.
Pei Zhi wasn't at the door, but... it wasn't much better.
Lu Mingxu was about to open the door when it opened by itself.
Lu Mingxu saw Chi Xiuwen inside the door and Hu Shi inside the room.
Clearly, Lu Mingxu had misunderstood.
Fearing that Lu Mingxu might say something inappropriate, Hu Shi immediately spoke first.
"Mr. Lu, what brings you here so early?"
"My work isn't finished yet. If you want to ask me out for dinner to talk about work, you'll probably have to wait a while."
Lu Mingxu was also a smart man. Hu Shi frantically winked at Lu Mingxu, and Lu Mingxu understood something.
"It's okay, I'm free today anyway, I'll just wait a bit."
After Lu Mingxu finished speaking, he looked at Chi Xiuwen and asked, "Mr. Chi, are you leaving?"
Chi Xiuwen glanced at Hu Shi and Lu Mingxu, "Yes."
Lu Mingxu immediately said, "Then we won't see you off?"
"No rush, I suddenly remembered that I still have some work to discuss with Teacher Hu."
"Wait a minute!" Hu Shi suddenly clutched his stomach. "Excuse me, you guys talk first, my stomach hurts, I need to go to the restroom."
Hu Shi dared not delay any longer, fearing that Pei Zhi would arrive at any moment.
Hu Shi rushed out as if fleeing, and ran quickly to the bathroom.
At this moment, Hu Shih no longer cared about his reputation and went straight into the women's restroom.
"Pei Zhi, Pei Zhi!"
Hu Shi shouted Pei Zhi's name twice in the women's restroom, but there was no response.
"Pei Zhi?"
There was still no response. Hu Shi patted his head, took out his cell phone from his pocket, and dialed Pei Zhi's number.
Where are you?
"I was in the bathroom just now when I heard someone say that there's a coffee shop downstairs with really good cakes, so I'm going to have some cake and coffee."
Hu Shih breathed a sigh of relief; it's no exaggeration to say that his back was covered in sweat.
"I'm telling you, Chi Xiuwen and Lu Mingxu are both in the recording studio."
Hu Shih didn't intend to hide it from Pei Zhi. "Lu Mingxu knows you're back and called me to see you. Chi Xiuwen doesn't know you're back yet."
"So, what do you plan to do? Meet with one, or two, or neither?"
Pei Zhi replied calmly, "I see."
"Just pretend nothing happened, go back to your work, and after I finish my coffee, I'll see whoever's in the room."
