Shi Xi answered the phone and said, "I'm busy. What's up?"
"What's wrong, my little sister? Who made you angry?" Shi Chen noticed that Shi Xi's tone was off and immediately became concerned.
"I'm not angry," Shi Xi denied.
Shi Chen said, "Come to the president's office, there are snacks for you."
Shi Xi glanced at the cookies and milk tea in front of her, and then thought of what Zhu Lin had said about giving gifts. She wondered if those were probably gifts from people who wanted to curry favor with her.
"I'm too busy to eat snacks," Shi Xi refused again.
“Okay,” Shi Chen said, then added, “Shall we go out for dinner tonight? Your second brother will take you out.”
Shi Xi: "I'm not going."
After being rejected repeatedly, Shi Chen realized that his precious little sister was really angry.
Hmm.
It's so hard to coax my little sister.
"Hmm, you don't want to make your movie anymore?" Shi Chen chose another path and began to use coercion and enticement.
Shi Xi huffed, "There are plenty of people who want to invest in me! Humph!"
After saying that, Shi Xi hung up the phone.
He started abusing his power as soon as he became president!
The petty person has gained power!
Shi Xu, who was standing nearby, overheard the conversation and rubbed his temples, saying, "Shi Chen wouldn't deliberately suppress your film."
“Then I don’t want his investment either.” Shi Xi felt uncomfortable and stood up, saying, “You go ahead with your work, I’m going out for a walk.”
Seeing her younger sister's angry expression, Shi Xu stepped forward and pressed down on her shoulder, saying, "Job transfers are a normal procedure in the company. I have no complaints about people who are more capable than me sitting in higher positions."
"Is he more capable than his brother?" Shi Xi countered.
Timing: ...
If he were stronger than him, then Shi Xu wouldn't have been the president in the first place.
"He spent several years abroad and must have learned a lot," Shi Xu said vaguely.
"You go ahead with your work, I'm going out for a walk to clear my head."
Shi Xi was planning to go back to find Brother Han, but then she received a call from Tao Yuxuan.
Tao Yuxuan cut to the chase: "What's wrong? Has the timeline reversed?"
The question was so direct that Shi Xi began to suspect that something was amiss with what was being said outside.
"He was demoted to vice president, and Shi Chen took over." Shi Xi said lazily, "How did you know?"
"It's all over the industry." Tao Yuxuan clicked her tongue and said, "I never expected that Shi Xu would be outmaneuvered by his own brother."
Shi Xi: "...What's the rumor going around?"
She was already curious.
"Oh, there's a rumor going around that Shi Chen went into hiding abroad for three years to avenge what happened back then, just so he could come back and oust Shi Xu from power." Tao Yuxuan said while cracking sunflower seeds, "That sounds so passionate, it's like Xiao Yan's three-year marriage agreement."
Shi Xi could faintly hear someone on Tao Yuxuan's side saying, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, never underestimate a young man's potential."
This is absolutely outrageous.
Shi Chen is poor as hell.
"What grudge from back then?" Shi Xi pressed.
"This group has already come up with several versions of the story: a fight over the inheritance, brothers vying for one woman, and even a life-or-death struggle... It's getting more and more outrageous. There's even a version saying that neither of them wants the inheritance," Tao Yuxuan said. "Do you want to come and listen?"
Shi Xi wasn't in the mood and sighed, "Forget it, I have something else to do."
It seems she'll have to raise the investment for the movie herself!
"Busy with your movie?" Tao Yuxuan asked casually.
“Yes,” Shi Xi said, then, remembering that this person was not short of money, she asked, “Do you want to invest?”
Tao Yuxuan paused for a moment, "Are you that short of money?"
Thinking of Shi Xu and Xie Yunzhou, Shi Xi said, "They're alright."
The idea is to diversify investments and share the risks.
