Chapter 3 Sir, please get in the car
With Director Li nodding and bowing, the man sat in the seat at the top, with Director Li on his left and Ji Jinhe on his right.
"This is Mr. Qi from the Qi family in Beijing, and he is also the largest investor in our program." Director Li introduced him to everyone with a smile on his face.
There was a gleam in his eyes as he spoke, and he directly mentioned the Qi family in the capital, fearing that some short-sighted people would offend someone they shouldn't offend.
Ji Jinhe sat aside with his arms folded, thinking that he was the biggest investor yesterday, but today it has become this person.
What a big surprise.
"Mr. Qi, I toast you." After the meal started, Director Li toasted Qi Xiuxu attentively. Seeing this, others wanted to follow suit but did not have the courage.
The Qi family in the capital is an existence that many people want to marry into but cannot.
An ordinary nanny in the Qi family can think herself superior to others, so that everyone with their own ulterior motives is afraid that they will fail to please her and instead say the wrong thing and offend her.
Ji Jinhe glanced at the noble man beside her and gave Chu Jin a wink.
Chu Jin immediately picked up the wine glass and respectfully toasted Qi Xiuxu across Ji Jinhe.
Although he secretly admired his agent's boldness, he did not hesitate at all when Ji Jinhe asked him to do the job.
"Good, act well." Qi Xiuxu looked at Ji Jinhe, but spoke to Chu Jin.
It seemed like there was something else behind his words, or it seemed like a casual reminder.
Director Li on the side looked at Qi Xiuxu and then at Ji Jinhe, unable to figure out whether the two had any relationship.
Almost everyone in this circle is a smart person, and people without a bit of foresight won't get far in this circle.
But there are exceptions. Even someone with such a sharp tongue like Chu Jin can survive in the circle until today thanks to Jiasui Entertainment behind him.
I'm afraid that after today, Chu Jin's career path will be even smoother. After all, he was praised by President Qi as "good".
As for Chu Jin's agent, regardless of whether she has any relationship with President Qi, Director Li is destined to deeply believe in the extraordinary identity of Ji Jinhe.
Director Li praised Ji Jinhe and Chu Jin from the bottom of his heart (succumbing to the power of capital), and then took the initiative to pick up the wine glass to toast Ji Jinhe.
This operation left a lot of people in the audience stunned. Not to mention Director Li's status in the entertainment industry, it has always been the agents who flatter the directors to get resources for their artists. No director has ever been seen flattering an artist.
The others began to secretly speculate about Ji Jinhe's identity in their hearts, but they didn't know that Director Li actually didn't know it either and was just acting on his intuition.
Ji Jinhe had already reached for the wine glass. She had experienced many such occasions in the past year, and she also had the habit of wine tasting, so her alcohol tolerance was not bad.
Just as he placed his hand on the rim of the cup and was about to lift it up, he was held down by a slender hand.
Looking up, the man didn't look at her. The outline of his face was sharp and angular. He raised his hand to call the waiter. After whispering a few words, the wine in front of him was replaced with orange juice.
Ji Jinhe smiled, picked up the orange juice, raised it towards Director Li, and lowered his head to take a sip.
Director Li drank the wine in the glass with a smile.
Chu Jin on the side looked at Qi Xiuxu with a puzzled look, then looked at Ji Jinhe and then at Qi Xiuxu.
After the meal, Ji Jinhe ate the food casually, Director Li and the producer complimented Qi Xiuxu, Chu Jin was occasionally mentioned, and the others echoed Director Li's words fearfully.
By the end of the meal, everyone except Ji Jinhe and Qi Xiuxu breathed a sigh of relief.
Before leaving, Director Li and his assistant arranged for those who had drunk alcohol to go home.
After Chu Jin went to talk to Director Li, he and Ji Jinhe left the box while Director Li repeatedly said "be careful".
After going down to the parking lot, the elevator door opened with a "ding" sound, and a figure stood at the door.
Ji Jinhe narrowed her eyes and looked at the tall man in a suit in front of her. The man had his hands behind his back and had a crew cut.
"Miss, please get in the car, sir." The man in the suit lowered his head slightly, stretched out his arm to the side, and made a 'please' gesture.
Ji Jinhe walked forward and said to the man in the suit without turning around, "Send him back."
"yes."
The person he was referring to was Chu Jin. After all, he was an artist under his management, so it was very necessary to ensure the safety of his employees.
"Sister He!" Chu Jin was startled by another bodyguard who suddenly appeared next to him. He thought that he and Ji Jinhe were surrounded by some gangsters.
"Don't worry, we're family." Ji Jinhe looked back at Chu Jin and raised his eyebrows, finding it very funny.
Chu Jin is a guy who looks brave but is actually very timid. The only thing he can say is that he is a bit tough.
The bodyguard led Ji Jinhe to a Rolls-Royce. The car body was hidden in the darkness and the reflective windows were extremely concealed.
The bodyguard with a crew cut opened the car door. Ji Jinhe glanced through the door and saw the man inside, who was resting against the back of the chair with his legs crossed and his eyes closed tiredly.
Ji Jinhe got in the car and called out to the man's profile, "Brother."
"Yeah." Qi Xiuxu opened his eyes, glanced at Ji Jinhe lazily, and uttered a syllable lightly in his low voice.
The car started slowly and the scenery outside the window passed by quickly. Apart from the greeting when they first got in the car, neither of them spoke again.
It's not because of embarrassment, nor because of unfamiliarity.
The two grew up together and are very familiar with each other. They can almost know what the other is thinking from every move.
Ji Jinhe felt the presence of the person next to him, and it seemed as if his heart, which had been silent for a long time, began to beat again, and his heart, which had been hanging high in the air, finally settled down.
The car drove into a villa. At this moment, the lights in the villa were on. Ji Jinhe looked at the scene in front of him and felt a little dazed.
It seems like the last time I saw a villa like this was a long time ago.
The driver and the bodyguard respectfully opened the car door and the two got out together.
At this time, there was already someone standing outside the villa door, and the kind face of a middle-aged woman appeared in front of him.
"Master and Miss, you are back." Aunt Liu's eyes were smiling like two slits, and she came up to greet them warmly.
"Auntie Liu." Ji Jinhe couldn't help but smile at Auntie Liu.
Qi Xiuxu nodded to Liu Ma and went into the house. Ji Jinhe was pulled by Liu Ma to ask about her well-being. She also changed her shoes and stood in the familiar living room.
"Auntie Liu, it's getting late. You should go to bed early." Ji Jinhe felt very cordial about the long-lost concern, but at the same time, she felt sorry for Auntie Liu who was still waiting for them so late.
After Ji Jinhe's repeated persuasion, Liu Ma went back to the servants' room behind the villa to rest.
Ji Jinhe looked around this familiar place. Every corner bore traces of her childhood play.
At this time, everything was quiet. The servants, drivers and bodyguards all returned to the staff room at the back to rest.
The Xu family always thought that she was adopted by a couple named Qi from a small county town, but in fact, the Xu family would never have thought that she was adopted by the Qi family in Beijing.
Of course, this is something the Xu family dare not even think about.
The Xu family was right about one thing: she was indeed raised in pampered condition by her adoptive parents, and the Qi family doted on her immensely, even slightly more than their biological son Qi Xiuxu.
