Chapter 71 was thrown away
His "pregnancy" joke ended when Sheng Zhao pressed him down on the desk and gave him a beating, but it was obvious that the silent atmosphere between the two would not end so easily.
Li Ji calmly accepted the work arrangement of not meeting each other for two consecutive months, and they didn't even send many private chat messages.
It was like he was in a cold war with Sheng Zhao.
To be honest, those words really sound like those of a scumbag.
"Tsk." Duan Ming shook his head as he drank his wine. "Tsk, tsk, tsk... What a scumbag! She got pregnant and had the abortion so she could go back to work. And now you're testing me and your true scumbag nature is exposed."
She teased like this, deliberately saying that Sheng Zhao was a scumbag.
Sheng Zhao glanced at her for a moment. Duan Ming sneered, then spoke seriously, comforting her, "Men, they all want to use a belly to get ahead. He already has more than enough, and he still wants to use his daughter's status as a father. It's enough for you to stop him from thinking about it."
"He just wants too much."
Duan Ming's expression was a bit cold and disdainful. He took a sip of his wine and patted Sheng Zhao angrily. "I'm telling you, you're too obsessed with this man. How many times have you mentioned him in front of me? Do you love your sister or your man?!"
She said this with regret that she was not able to make iron.
I can’t really say how much I love her, it’s just that my mood is a little confused.
Sheng Zhao looked at the juice in his hand. The ice cubes gradually melted in the orange juice. Crystal clear, cold water droplets hung on the wall of the glass, and his fingertips were stained with cool moisture.
She was lost in thought for a moment.
"Mr. Sheng?"
The man's voice sounded slightly joyful.
Sheng Zhao looked up and saw that it was He Ciyuan.
He suppressed his excitement and took a deep breath. The man's half-long, wolf-tailed hair was beautifully styled, and his eyebrows and eyes were both charming and handsome. His face flushed slightly, and his voice was a little hesitant at first. "Oh, what a coincidence..."
What a coincidence!
He spent a lot of money to find out that Duan Ming and Sheng Zhao liked to come here to drink and hang out here every day, but this was the only time he saw them.
The man's eyes sparkled, "How about I buy Mr. Sheng a drink?"
Before Sheng Zhao could refuse, he called the waiter and ordered a glass of juice and a piece of tiramisu.
…but I know she doesn’t drink.
Maybe because he drank too much juice, his tongue really wanted something sweet, so Sheng Zhao didn't refuse his tiramisu.
He Ciyuan was wearing a slim-fitting shirt with a few buttons undone to reveal her plump and sexy chest and collarbone.
He wore a custom-made vest on the outside, and his tie was tied crookedly, showing a sexy and lazy style. His wolf-tail hair was scattered on his shoulders, swaying with his movements.
He was crooked and afraid at the bar, his eyes were about to burst.
Duan Ming had a teasing look on his face and nudged Sheng Zhao with his elbow, his eyes hinting at him.
——'Since that man is so naughty, why not change him to a good one? Don't you always change him?'
Sheng Zhao didn't say anything, but just ate the tiramisu that was served to her seriously. Perhaps it was the healing effect of the dessert that made her feel a little better.
He Ciyuan was somewhat happy, but pursed his lips as he watched Sheng Zhao's changes, seemingly at a loss as to how to find a topic.
He felt a little embarrassed. He had spent a lot of money to get the opportunity to be close to his sweetheart. He was always smooth-talking and moved around among various women, but now he felt a little at a loss.
Before he could speak, Sheng Zhao spoke in a flat voice without even looking at him.
"Director Zhao's new movie's leading role is very suitable for you, wait for the notification."
This was her little reward for the little star who gave her dessert when she was in a bad mood.
Director Zhao is a director with great influence in China. She is good at making spy films. None of her spy films are unsuccessful. She has also made countless sexy and charming male stars famous with her "love/desire/entanglement under the cold war". They are collectively known as Zhao Manlang.
The future of a male star who is given this title will definitely be bright.
He Ciyuan was stunned for a moment.
According to his status and position, he really couldn't get access to Director Zhao's movies, but he——
He didn't want to please her or act coquettishly in front of her to ask for resources.
He Ciyuan opened his mouth anxiously, his voice hoarse, "I'm not... I want these."
Even though these resources are tempting enough for any male star, but he——
"I'm not here to ask for resources... Mr. Sheng, I don't want them. Please take them back."
He Ciyuan's eyes were somewhat firm.
Duan Ming was a little surprised.
Sheng Zhao directly threw out a movie directed by Zhao. Even a male star who wanted to pretend to be reserved and wanted to develop a long-term relationship with Sheng Zhao would choose to quit at this time.
Because this resource is indeed the best, even if no one supports it in the future, it will still be famous enough.
Sheng Zhao paused, a little confused, "Then what do you want?"
He Ciyuan pursed his lips and moved slightly closer to Sheng Zhao. His eyes, which had always been praised for their charm, were now filled with seriousness and complexity. "I want... I want... to pursue President Sheng."
Tsk.
It's wishful thinking, a toad wanting to eat swan flesh.
Duan Ming took a sip of wine and thought mockingly that a grown man of this age should just be played with, it would be inappropriate to keep him around.
"……good."
Duan Ming paused. She really didn't expect Sheng Zhao to agree.
She turned her head and saw Sheng Zhao licking his lips after finishing his tiramisu, giving a rare smile.
Although Duan Ming didn't like Li Ji very much, He Ciyuan's appearance was obviously a level lower than Li Ji's, and in her heart, she was not worthy of Sheng Zhao.
Even though He Ciyuan's appearance is already very outstanding.
Duan Ming put down his wine glass and sighed.
It's up to her.
There seems to be a rumor in the circle that Mr. Sheng seems to have found someone else to support him.
It seems that the little star who was not very famous and had a bad reputation before has been noticed by President Sheng.
First of all, they have more resources than some first-line stars.
Secondly, Mr. Sheng’s male companion brought him to both parties.
Even though Li Ji’s current resources are still top-notch, this change in the wind direction makes people in the circle wonder - is Li Ji going to fall out of favor?
Li Ji had almost no friends in the entertainment industry, so no one told Li Ji, who was shooting a commercial abroad, about this subtle change.
When Li Ji just landed after returning, he received a text message from the Sheng family's old house.
He remembered... Sheng Zhao's brother and secretary were confined to the Sheng family's old house because they drugged someone.
"Come and see me, I have something important to tell you."
Li Ji pondered for a long time before changing the itinerary and asked the driver to change the route leading to Sheng Group to the Sheng family's old house.
He sat in the car with his eyes closed, lost in thought, his expression expressionless.
When the private driver told him that they had arrived, Li Ji looked at the huge manor house in front of him in a trance.
He had been here before because of "Celebrity's Dinner", and at that time he was treated with implicit contempt for his lack of etiquette, but this time he was invited.
As soon as I stepped in, I heard the beautiful, clear and sad piano sound.
And saw a man playing the piano.
The handsome man was wearing a slim-fitting suit. The sunlight shone on him, blurring his hair and face, making him look elegant and noble, and softening the man's usual coldness.
The piano sounded beautiful, and the butler stood quietly and respectfully beside it. His tuxedo outlined his slender waist, and his gold-rimmed glasses made him look even more handsome.
It was Sheng Cehan and Yu Shiyun.
The two stray dogs pretended to be extremely noble at this time.
Li Ji, who stepped into the room, didn't care about ruining the beautiful piano music. He pulled the corners of his lips and interrupted the music with a cold voice, "What do you want me to say?"
Sheng Cehan didn't look at him. His icy eyes were calm and his slender fingers continued to play. Only after the last note fell did he answer slowly in a hoarse voice.
"This is the 'Roman Prayer' by the medieval male musician Elster. When he was middle-aged, his wife cheated on him with one of her students. In desperation, he composed this 'Roman Prayer' to beg his wife to change her mind."
Anyone could hear his hint.
Li Ji pursed his lips and said nothing, listening to Sheng Cehan's words in silence with an expressionless face.
Yu Shiyun next to him handed Sheng Cehan a cup of coffee. Sheng Cehan took a sip of the coffee to moisten his throat, and Yu Shiyun next to him whispered something to add.
"His wife never changed her mind until the very end, and Elster finally committed suicide by jumping into the lake in despair, thus creating the most poignant and beautiful swan song of any male musician in history."
Everyone knows what they are hinting at.
“Heh…”
Li Ji couldn't help laughing out loud, with a hint of sarcasm on his expression.
He knew that the story of "Elster" was a hint from these two stray dogs to him.
But the two losers in front of him were obviously more suitable for the identity of "Elster".
He glanced at the expressions of the two people in front of him.
Sheng Cehan's face remained calm as usual, while Yu Shiyun kept her lips curled up, showing her gentleness and elegance.
Li Ji spoke softly.
"Aren't you the ones who best fit this song? If you just want to tell me these things, then there seems to be no need for me to keep you company."
He turned and was about to leave.
Sheng Cehan suddenly spoke in a calm voice, stopping Li Ji's movements. "Didn't you hear about the scandal between He Ciyuan and Sheng Zhao? Don't you know that Sheng Zhao has poured a lot of resources into him? Didn't you see that Sheng Zhao has already brought him to two banquets?"
"Last time it was us who were left behind...next time it will be you."
Sheng Cehan's handsome and cold expression rarely revealed a smile of pleasure.
Li Ji's expression paused, and his emotions were confused for a moment.
Before he could say anything, Yu Shiyun had already made an attitude of seeing the guest off. He stretched out his hand and gestured "please", elegantly and respectfully, but without any room for refusal.
Li Ji glanced at him and walked out of the Sheng family's old house without saying a word.
He just took out his phone in a trance and kept scrolling through the messages under the keywords Sheng Zhao and He Ciyuan, until he came across the photo of Sheng Zhao and He Ciyuan attending the banquet that had just been taken today.
The man was wearing a slim-fitting suit and had a nice smile on his face. The woman held his hand and helped him out of the car.
