Chapter 55 Our Friendship Is Challenged
A group of people walked towards the cafeteria, preparing to have lunch.
Because of Xia Zhiqing, Song Shiwei missed her meal, and now there's another reason for Song Shiwei to dislike Xia Zhiqing!
Why is the judge in the Chinese entertainment industry running so fast?
Chi Yanzhou followed slowly behind. He was tall and had long legs, so one of his steps was equivalent to two of Song Shiwei's.
“If you’re not enthusiastic about eating, there’s something wrong with your thinking.” Song Shiwei said without turning her head.
"I helped you today, and you didn't even offer to treat me to a meal?"
Song Shiwei slammed on the brakes, frowned, turned around and rushed towards Chi Yanzhou, her eyes filled with a look of exasperated anger.
"How dare you say that?!"
"What's there to be embarrassed about?" Chi Yanzhou asked innocently.
"You discovered Xia Zhiqing's ill intentions a long time ago, but you didn't remind me. You had the evidence, but you didn't help me in time!"
"Aren't we still the best of the best?! You actually have a little secret about me! You're such a cunning man!"
"I'm just observing and waiting, and don't you think my hindsight is surprisingly effective?"
"Hmph! Stop making excuses. You just love to gloat and enjoy watching others suffer!"
Song Shiwei did not accept Chi Yanzhou's explanation, crossed her arms, and had an expression that said, "I've seen through you."
"I admit there's an element of gambling involved, and I did want to see some excitement, but I'll definitely help you. Do you even need to doubt our relationship?"
"Our friendship has been severely tested. You actually pretended to play along with me just for the sake of gossip. I've seen through your true colors. You've really disappointed me!"
Song Shiwei was heartbroken and walked back with her head down.
Seeing her expression, Chi Yanzhou felt a mix of doubt and trepidation. In the end, he cautiously followed her, nuzzling her shoulder as he tentatively spoke.
"Really? You're really upset? Of course I'll help you, is there any doubt about that?"
"Hey! Say something! Why have you become so fragile? I was wrong, I promise it won't happen again."
"You are a magnanimous old man, please forgive me this time. Tell me, how can you forgive me?"
Song Shiwei's eyelids twitched, and she said in a muffled voice, "Unless you give me twenty million."
“........”
Chi Yanzhou put away his guilty expression and looked at Song Shiwei, who was putting on an act, speechless.
"What are you doing here? You should be winning the Oscar for Best Acting!"
Song Shiwei's face was calm, her eyes were clear, and she showed no embarrassment at being exposed. "Look at you, you have no attitude at all when it comes to admitting your mistakes."
"If it weren't for me today, would you have fought this battle so brilliantly?"
"When my sister goes crazy, she doesn't care if the other person is pretty or not, as long as they die a horrible death."
“..........”
"I'm not talking to you anymore, you're delaying my food grab. All that chicken breast will be taken by someone else soon!"
As Song Shiwei was about to rush towards the cafeteria, Chi Yanzhou grabbed her by the collar and pulled her back.
"To make it up to you, I'll treat you to a big meal at noon."
"You're not so bad, you actually have a conscience!"
Song Shiwei happily followed, and Chi Yanzhou led her to a classroom. Assistant Zhao Liangliang came in carrying a bag of high-end packaged lunch boxes.
"Brother Zhou, get out of class is over? The food from Yu Garden Restaurant just arrived."
The assistant didn't need any training and was waiting at the hotel when he suddenly received a message from Chi Yanzhou, who was in class, asking him to book a meal at the Yu Garden Restaurant.
Yu Garden Restaurant is one of the top-tier restaurants in the city, and it's very far from their film crew. Chi Yanzhou had to pay a hefty delivery fee for them to deliver the food.
"Wow! Your attitude in admitting your mistake is quite good."
Song Shiwei excitedly unpacked the food, her eyes filled with its vibrant colors. Although the main selling point was its green and healthy ingredients, it looked a hundred times better than what she ate in the cafeteria, considering the price.
While eating, Song Shiwei's phone, which was on the table, suddenly rang. She glanced at it casually and saw that it read "Senior Butler Xiao K".
Chi Yanzhou glanced at the number subconsciously and felt it looked familiar, only to see Song Shiwei hang up the phone without any hesitation.
"If I remember correctly, that should have been Kevin's call."
"I have a good memory, but no one can influence my mood for cooking."
“............”
"It must be because of what happened with Xia Zhiqing earlier."
"His information is too slow. Xia Zhiqing's agent called immediately, but Kevin was half an hour late. That's inefficient."
Song Shiwei was munching on a jade ruyi, which was actually just a green cucumber, and complaining as she ate.
"If you make him wait another half hour, he'll probably have already bought his plane ticket to get here."
Song Shiwei thought for a moment, "Then I'll answer. Kevin is too long-winded. I can't stand it if he says it to my face."
Just then, Kevin called again, and Song Shiwei casually swiped to answer and put it on speakerphone.
"Song Shiwei! Your behavior always manages to redefine my understanding of the world! This is the entertainment industry! Not your home! That's Weibo! Not your WeChat Moments!"
Kevin's good manners gradually turned into irritability after meeting Song Shiwei.
"Brother K, don't be angry. You'll get old, and all that expensive face cream you bought for tens of thousands of yuan will be wasted." Song Shiwei didn't care at all, offering a half-hearted consolation.
"I know that's Weibo. It would be so boring to post it on WeChat Moments."
"This is interesting, you're trending again!"
"Mmm, oh dear."
Song Shiwei gave a casual reply and busied herself eating. Kevin said that Xia Zhiqing's agent had just called him, hoping that Song Shiwei could delete the Weibo post and clarify that it was just a joke.
Kevin felt that in the entertainment industry, everyone sees each other all the time, so there was no need to make things so tense.
"No way, I'd lose face if I deleted it. I can't delete it. I'm not afraid to meet them. As long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who will be embarrassed."
"You two will be working together on set in the future, learning and filming together. If you cause this mess, which production team will dare to hire you? Who will dare to work with you?!"
Kevin roared on the other end of the phone. After calming down, he began to offer heartfelt advice, but it was all a one-man show. Song Shiwei remained silent, and it was unclear what she had thought about.
"Weiwei? What do you think? Should we delete it?"
There was a prolonged silence on the other end, until a few seconds later, Chi Yanzhou's calm voice came through.
"Song Shiwei left about five minutes ago."
“..........”
"However, I also support Song Shiwei's approach."
Chi Yanzhou answered the phone, put it to his ear, and slowly walked out. "I recorded that video, and I also found the marketing account. Song Shiwei is just like this; she can't pretend. If she changes her personality, netizens won't be able to stand it."
Kevin remained silent for a few seconds before finally speaking with a sense of helplessness.
"Just keep spoiling her!"
