Chapter 23
Song Shiyu subconsciously turned on the screen of his mobile phone again. The dialog box at the top of WeChat was still stuck on the message he sent a few hours ago. Ji Zhiqi had not replied yet.
He should be practicing singing in the practice room.
A strong sense of longing suddenly surged into his heart without warning. Song Shiyu found that he wanted to see Ji Zhiqi immediately more than ever before. His heart was itching with longing, and he wished he could buy a plane ticket and fly to him right now.
At this time, the mobile phone screen lit up, and it was a video call invitation sent by her mother, Ms. Ruan.
Song Shiyu adjusted his expression and connected the video.
"Xiaojiu, how are you doing recently? Are you busy?" Ms. Ruan Ning's bright smiling face appeared on the other side of the screen, with the background of the holiday scenery of blue sea and blue sky.
"I'm fine, Mom." Song Shiyu answered while holding up his phone, his fingers still typing quickly on the keyboard, processing emails.
"That's good. Your grandfather has been talking about you a lot lately, saying he misses you. Go back and visit him when you have time."
"Well, I will find time to visit grandpa." Song Shiyu agreed.
Ruan Ning nodded in satisfaction, then gracefully extended her hand, waving it in front of the camera to show off her newly done manicure. "Look, Mommy's new nails, aren't they pretty? Wow, it's true that hands that aren't working look great."
Song Shiyu's fingers tapping on the keyboard paused slightly, then he looked up and took a serious look, his eyes full of resentment, and his tone was gentle: "It looks very good, you always have good taste."
"Oh~ your dad picked it for me!" Ruan Ning boasted sweetly, "But it really looks great! I'm not going to talk to you anymore. I have to go diving. Your dad's urging me!"
"Have fun." Song Shiyu watched the screen go black, silently turned his gaze back to the computer, and continued to work.
On the other end of the video, Song's father looked at his wife and asked with a hint of concern, "Wife, can Xiaojiu really handle such a large company if we just hand it all over to him? Isn't the pressure too much?"
Ruan Ning put away her joking expression and her tone became serious: "Husband, Xiaojiu is not what you see on the surface."
She told her husband in detail how Song Shiyu had swiftly investigated the funds embezzled by Ruan Xiaohui and how he had quickly stabilized and improved the performance of the entertainment sector.
After listening to this, Father Song frowned slightly: "You mean... Xiaojiu has been hiding his abilities?"
"That's right." Ruan Ning nodded affirmatively. "If he didn't have the ability and courage, how could he have taken over smoothly in such a short time and made the company run better than before? We should trust him."
Father Song pondered for a moment, then finally nodded in relief: "You're right. It's better to hand it over to Xiaojiu. This way you can relax a little and be less tired."
Ruan Ning snuggled happily in her husband's arms, a smile on her face.
In the afternoon, Song Shiyu presided over a lengthy project meeting.
After the meeting, he finally saw Ji Zhiqi's reply.
Ji Zhiqi sent him three song demos and asked him to help choose one for the next performance.
Song Shiyu immediately put on his headphones and listened to the three songs in turn very carefully.
Each song has Ji Zhiqi's characteristics, but he finally chose the second one.
Because the arrangement of that song contains a very brilliant drum part that requires intense performance.
Song Shiyu could almost imagine Ji Zhiqi's charming look when he played the drums, full of vigor and controlling the whole situation.
Just thinking about that scene made his heart beat faster.
He replied: "The second one."
Ji Zhiqi replied to the message almost immediately: "Just as I thought." followed by a cute emoticon.
Song Shiyu's mouth corners unconsciously rose, and he sent a cute love emoticon.
I put down my phone and a subtle thought came to my mind.
Is the relationship between him and Ji Zhiqi progressing too quickly?
It seems that apart from physical intimacy and the tacit love for each other, there are still many things that have not been laid out and explained clearly.
What were they now? Lovers? Or was it just a one-night stand with some feelings for each other?
He felt it necessary to find an opportunity to have a formal and serious talk with Ji Zhiqi about this matter.
He needs to clarify the relationship and future between the two.
Thinking of this, he picked up his phone again and sent a message to Ji Zhiqi: "I'll come to see you tomorrow."
Ji Zhiqi replied quickly, with obvious anticipation: "Okay, I'll wait for you."
Assistant Xiaoxi knocked on the door and came in, delivering a document that needed urgent signature.
She put the documents on the table and couldn't help but secretly glance at Song Shiyu who was reviewing them with his head down.
Mr. Song is so handsome! He is so charming when he is concentrating on his work.
She secretly felt lucky. If Assistant Cheng hadn't taken leave to get engaged, she probably wouldn't have had the chance to get close to her boss.
She admired it secretly for a few more times before she tiptoed out with a red face.
Song Shiyu looked carefully at the document in his hand. It was an evaluation report on the variety show cooperation for the next quarter.
"Xinghai Entertainment" is prominently listed in the list of partners.
He turned to the specific plan at the back, and sure enough, the artist promoted by Xinghai Entertainment was Wang Wan.
He retrieved the background information of Xinghai Entertainment and its owner Xi Kaian.
Behind Xi Kaian is the deeply rooted Xi family, who is a powerful figure in the film and television industry, with extensive resources and connections. No wonder he is so strong in film and television investment.
So why did Xi Kaian spare no effort to support Wang Wan?
Xinghai clearly has more artists with better looks, better acting skills and greater potential.
What is so special about Wang Wan that makes Xi Kaian look at her so differently?
He put down the information, picked up the intercom, pressed a shortcut key, and ordered in a calm tone: "Help me thoroughly investigate all of Wang Wan's information. The more detailed the better, including all of her experiences and social relationships before entering the entertainment industry."
"Got it." The other party responded immediately.
