Chapter 067

A young master like Pei Hanli naturally doesn't know how to give a massage.

The first time he served someone, he held Zhou Qingyu's delicate calf as if he was holding the most exquisite white porcelain in the world. If he used a little force, the porcelain would break.

Such gentle kneading and pressing has absolutely no effect on relaxing the leg muscles.

Zhou Qingyu frowned, "Pei Hanli, you didn't eat? You don't have any strength at all?"

Pei Hanli was not annoyed, "Then I'll be more forceful."

The strength of this pinch was obviously not controlled well, and Zhou Qingyu almost instinctively kicked Pei Hanli away.

"Pei Hanli, it hurts!"

The people around gasped.

This is the eldest son of the Pei family. The eldest daughter is so fierce!

Pei Yubai snorted in his heart. Who could stand Zhou Qingyu's temper? In order to get Zhou's resources, he reluctantly obeyed her. Pei Hanli, a proud son of heaven, how could he tolerate Zhou Qingyu's mischief? And there were so many people watching around!

Pei Yubai had never liked Pei Hanli, but this time he took a liking to Pei Hanli and felt a sense of mutual respect. He wished Pei Hanli would teach Zhou Qingyu a lesson and let her know who was the best person for her.

!

Zhou Qingyu used a lot of force in that kick, causing Pei Hanli's body to sway slightly, and his neat shirt and suit became a little messy.

He looked up at Zhou Qingyu and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't control the strength well just now. I will be gentler."

Zhou Qingyu sneered, "I'll give you one more chance, if you can't do it, get out of here."

This time, Pei Hanli used much lighter force, gradually increasing it, watching Zhou Qingyu's brows change from locked to relaxed, before determining the most appropriate force.

Zhou Qingyu felt very comfortable with the massage, and the soreness in her calves was much less.

"Well, that's about right. You're much more useful than your useless brother."

Pei Hanli smiled softly, "As long as the young lady likes it."

Beside him, Pei Yubai's face was even more embarrassed. He bit his back teeth so hard that they were about to break. Zhou Qingyu and Pei Hanli chatted casually, not paying any attention to him, her ex-boyfriend and ex-fiance.

Pei Yubai clenched his fists and left without turning back.

At the scene, besides Pei Yubai, Yan Xi also had complicated psychological activities.

Yan Xi sat next to Zhou Qingyu, staring at her and Pei Hanli the whole time.

She asked the system in her heart, "Tongzi, can you hear my heartbeat?"

The system did not answer but asked: [Host, can you hear my heartbeat? ]

[Oh, I don't have a heartbeat, but I can simulate one for you using data streams! It's beating really fast! Plop, plop, plop!]

Everyone present at the scene was dumbfounded.

Especially Yan Xi, whose voice trembled, "If I remember correctly... Pei Hanli, he is the villain in the novel, right?"

[You are not mistaken! He is! ]

"Then how can Qingqing be with him! It's too dangerous!"

System Youyou: [But the eldest lady is also a villain! In Ye Luoyi's eyes, we are all villains! ]

Yan Xi: “…”

After a short break, it's time to shoot.

Pei Hanli helped Zhou Qingyu put on her shoes. He had work to do, so he didn't stay on the set for long. He left as soon as Zhou Qingyu started filming.

Zhou Qingyu patted the non-existent dust on her dress and stood up.

Yan Xi stepped forward and asked, "What's going on between you and Pei Hanli? When did you two hook up?!"

Zhou Qingyu looked puzzled. "What's going on? Isn't it just asking him to give me a massage?"

"Isn't this... inappropriate?"

"What's inappropriate about this?"

Zhou Qingyu lifted her hair from her shoulders and said, "I'm so pretty, it's a bargain for him to have a massage. If there's any loss, it's my fault!"

The wind blew gently, blowing up the strands of hair on Zhou Qingyu's forehead. For a moment, Yan Xi felt that Zhou Qingyu in front of her was in a different frame from the people around her. She was so beautiful that it seemed as if God had added an extra layer of filter for her.

Before Yan Xi could react, the system popped up -

【The young lady is so pretty! 】

[Host! I think the young lady is right! ]

[It's a bargain for Pei Hanli to have a massage! What's there to worry about? 】

Yan Xi: “…”

——

After Pei Yubai left the set, he returned to Pei's house.

The day before yesterday when he was in Country H, he vowed that he would bring Zhou Qingyu back to Pei's house in the evening. However, Zhou Qingyu broke the promise. The Pei family prepared a dinner to entertain the two of them, but in the end, nothing happened.

Pei Yubai was worried about being scolded by Master Pei, so he didn't dare to go back for a while, but he had already delayed for two days, so he had to go back.

More importantly, Tianhui can’t afford to waste time.

In fact, Zhou's termination of contract renewal should not have had such a big impact on Tianhui. Tianhui is one of the best companies in the industry and has many well-known artists under its banner.

But Pei Yubai is radical in his work. Whenever there is a suitable project, he will invest in it to increase the turnover rate of funds. This way, Tianhui's year-end financial report will be good, and his grandfather will treat him differently.

The consequence of this is that once the funding chain is broken, many projects have to go on strike and stop filming.

In the film and television industry, strikes and suspensions of filming are devastating. The sets have been built, the actors and crew are in place, but filming cannot proceed. Money continues to pour in, but there is no return, and the funding gap will continue to grow like a snowball.

Pei Yubai invested almost all his money to make up for the losses, but this was not enough to solve the immediate crisis. There were still several projects signed by Tianhui that required funds.

He could only come back to ask Master Pei for help.

Old Master Pei sat on the sofa, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.

"You are so radical, but have you not considered the consequences? With the size of Tianhui, can you invest in so many projects at once?"

Pei Yubai lowered his head and dared not speak.

Tianhui has been like this for the past two years. If he is short of money... Zhou Qingyu will help him make up for it. He has never been in such a difficult situation!

"Grandpa, please help me with the cash flow. Fifty million, fifty million is enough!" Pei Yubai looked at Grandpa Pei eagerly.

Master Pei: "You are the second young master of the Pei family. You can't even come up with 50 million?"

Pei Yubai didn't dare to say anything. Before this, he not only used his own money to make up for the loss, but also took out a loan. He would not come to find Master Pei unless it was absolutely necessary.

Mr. Pei leaned on his cane and pondered for a moment.

Fifty million is not a big number for him, but Pei's has no intention of entering the film and television industry. Moreover, they let Pei Yubai establish Tianhui just to see his ability. If this illegitimate child is capable and can make a name for himself in his own business, it would be fine to let him join Pei's in the future.

But obviously, Pei Yubai doesn't have this ability.

Master Pei said calmly, "It's just a small company. If it doesn't do well, just shut it down."

The Pei family can afford to lose a subsidiary.

Pei Yubai raised his head suddenly, "Grandpa! Tianhui is my hard work!"

More importantly, Pei Yubai understood that if Tianhui could no longer operate, it would mean that he would be completely out of the Pei family, and there was a high probability that Mr. Pei would hand over all the shares to Pei Hanli in the future.

Father Pei was also very nervous, "Dad, Yubai is still young, please give him another chance!"

Master Pei didn't take it seriously. "If he can't even solve such a small crisis, what will he do if something big happens to Pei's company in the future? Who can he turn to for help? If he doesn't have this little ability, don't even think about entering Pei's company in the future!"

After saying this, Mr. Pei left unhappily, leaning on his crutches.

Pei Yubai was extremely cruel.

The anger in his heart grew stronger. They were all children of the Pei family, so why did Pei Hanli start out as a senior executive of the Pei family, while he still had to climb up step by step?

It’s so unfair!

Father Pei also looked unhappy. Ever since Mother Pei died, Pei Hanli had not taken him as his father seriously. The only person the family respected was Old Master Pei. If Pei Hanli really took the position, wouldn't he have to rely on his son for a living in the future?

"dad!"

Pei Yubai looked at his father eagerly, "Tianhui cannot fall! We cannot live without Tianhui!"

Father Pei's face darkened. "Tianhui, look how nervous you are. I'm going to set up a game for you tonight and help you make some connections. It's only a few tens of millions. How can you not make the connections? Don't be so useless!"

——

That night, Pei Yubai attended a drinking party organized by Pei's father.

Although Father Pei did not have great abilities, he knew a lot of people. As the eldest son of the Pei family, the people around him were no ordinary people. To these people, tens of millions were not a big deal, so they invested the money to give face to Father Pei and Old Master Pei.

But after all, he was asking for money, and Pei Yubai had no idea how much alcohol he drank that night, and his stomach felt like it was burning.

In the middle of the night, Pei Yubai supported his tired body and sent the guests home one by one.

The assistant was also drunk, so he asked someone to drive for Pei Yubai and put him in the passenger seat.

The driver asked Pei Yubai, "Mr. Pei, where is the destination?"

Pei Yubai's cheeks were flushed. Drinking white wine and red wine together is the easiest way to get drunk. Now that he was drunk, Pei Yubai saw double when he looked at people.

Go back to Pei’s house?

Pei Yubai didn't want to go back, and even more so didn't want to see Pei Hanli and Old Master Pei.

Waterfront Forest Residence?

It was a lonely place, just a nice place to stay.

As if possessed by some mysterious force, Pei Yubai told the driver an address and fell into a deep sleep. When he woke up, the Ferrari was already parked in front of the Ye family villa.

The Ye family has its roots in Hangzhou. Ye Luoyi came here to work in the entertainment industry. This is the house she bought with her own money, so she lives here alone.

Sun Qi thought that the matter between Ye Luoyi and Pei Yubai should be handled calmly, and Ye Luoyi agreed and turned down all recent announcements. During this time, the Lu family was looking for their lost child, and Ye Luoyi was always with Lu's mother.

Ye Luoyi was secretly delighted to learn that Yan Xi was not the daughter of the Lu family. This was the best news she had received since she participated in "Travel". However, the daughter of the Lu family finally appeared, but she disappeared from the world. Although the DNA match was verified, she could not be found.

Ye Luoyi was very tired. When she entered the entertainment industry and had not yet met Pei Yubai, Lu's mother helped her a lot. This time, she was in trouble and was in crisis of being a mistress. Originally, Lu's family could help her settle the matter. It was just a matter of words for Lu's mother.

But the blood sample that suddenly appeared and matched the little daughter of the Lu family attracted the attention of everyone in the Lu family. They were now focused on finding the owner of the blood sample and had no time to care about Ye Luoyi.

There is a difference between biological children and adopted children.

The doorbell rang downstairs, waking Ye Luoyi up from her sleep.

She was exhausted both physically and mentally, and went downstairs wrapped in a silk shawl to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Ye Luoyi saw Pei Yubai sitting at the door, drunk.

Her instinct was to close the door.

Pei Yubai was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and had already inserted one hand into the crack of the door.

"Yiyi, don't ignore me!"

Ye Luoyi slammed the door shut, still scolding, "Second Master Pei, shouldn't you go find Zhou Qingyu? You apologized at the airport, and showed your love with fireworks in Hancheng, isn't your attitude obvious enough? If you like Zhou Qingyu, go after her, why are you pestering me!"

"Yiyi! You believe me! You believe me!"

Pei Yubai was very strong and became even more irrational after being drunk. He forcefully pried open the door, rushed forward and hugged Ye Luoyi tightly.

"Yiyi, I have no feelings for Zhou Qingyu. I am forced to do this... I only love you. I am going crazy without seeing you these days!"

"Pei Yubai, let me go! You've fooled me twice, we should have ended long ago..."

Ye Luoyi struggled desperately, but after all, he was the man she loved, so she was reluctant to use any force when she punched Pei Yubai in the chest.

Pei Yubai felt Ye Luoyi's tenderness, and his heart was filled with joy like fireworks exploding. He instinctively pressed her neck and kissed her deeply.

This kiss was too deep, too long, and too lingering.

Indulging in sex and love, dopamine was secreted rapidly, and the momentary joy covered up the past unhappiness. Ye Luoyi struggled only a few more times before she indulged in the exchange of saliva and lost her mind.

What happened later was beyond Ye Luoyi's control.

Pei Yubai stepped forward and picked her up easily. Her whole body felt soft and sore, and she grasped Pei Yubai tightly like duckweed, leaving obvious red marks on his back.

I couldn't sleep all night.

——

Compared to Ye Luoyi and Pei Yubai's exciting nightlife, the nightlife of single dogs is obviously much more monotonous.

——For example, Yan Xi.

After spending a night with Zhou Gong, Yan Xi got up from the soft big bed. As usual, she brought a nutritious breakfast to Zhou Yanci and urged him to finish eating before she set off for Xingyao.

Everything went according to plan, but when Yan Xi saw Special Assistant Sun in the hospital, she felt that the way he looked at her seemed a little resentful.

It's strange, what is Special Assistant Sun complaining about?

The one who was oppressing him was obviously Zhou Yanci, he really couldn't figure out who he was!

Yan Xi didn't care about Special Assistant Sun. Chu Tingbai was returning to Haicheng today, and she had a project to discuss with Director Chu.

In the Xingyao conference room, Yan Xi called Qiao Yan and Fang Yue to discuss the idol cultivation variety show. The process was smoother than expected. Fang Yue and Qiao Yan were not optimistic about this project at first, but with the successful experience of the previous concert, everyone was generally optimistic about the idol market in the entertainment industry.

There is another reason. Xingyao has recently made a profit and the company as a whole is thriving, so it can accept trial and error.

Therefore, Chu Tingbai's project was decided. The name of the variety show was Seven Percent, which meant that the variety show would select seven out of a hundred idols to debut as a limited group. Seven out of a hundred, so it was called Seven Percent.

The meeting ended and Chu Tingbai left in high spirits.

This is the project she has been looking forward to for a long time. She is very excited that she has finally received investment. Fang Yue is from the project department and will assist Chu Tingbai to complete this variety show.

After the meeting, Yan Xi called out to Qiao Yan alone.

"Lin Zhi told me that you contacted Xigua Video and wanted Han Shu to be on their music variety show. Isn't this a good resource? Why didn't Han Shu go?"

Xigua Video has a close relationship with Star Glory because of its two projects, "Travel" and "Concert". "Singer" is their new music variety show. In each episode, seven singers compete in an elimination system, and challengers are allowed to come in during the process.

This variety show is very suitable for Han Shu. Yan Xi was very happy when she first knew that she was going to be on this variety show, but she didn't expect that Han Shu would temporarily not go.

Qiao Yan stammered, "The challengers also have to audition offline. Today is the day for the offline auditions for Singer, and Han Shu can't go."

Yan Xi was puzzled, "Why can't I go?"

"It's Mr. Qu's friend's birthday, and he wants Han Shu to go sing to celebrate."

A question mark popped up in Yan Xi's mind.

"Qu Yan? Qingqing's aunt?" Yan Xi frowned. "No, it's Qu Yan's friend's birthday. What does it have to do with us artists?"

Qiao Yan was speechless. "Isn't this just like a young lady spending money to invite people to sing at her concert? President Qu is the CEO of Xingyao. She wants Xingyao's artists to celebrate her friend's birthday. I can't say no..."

Yan Xi was speechless. She didn't have much contact with Qu Yan. In her impression, Zhou Qingyu's aunt was very young and beautiful. She was only ten years older than Zhou Qingyu and was the younger sister of Zhou Qingyu's mother, so Zhou Qingyu and Qu Yan had a good relationship.

Qu Yan wanted the Xingyao artists to celebrate her friend's birthday, but Qiao Yan was too lazy to even refuse.

Yan Xi's eyes darkened, "Does Qu Yan often do this kind of thing?"

Qiao Yan: "Yes, half of the artists from Xingyao went to her birthday party before! Originally, Qu Zong hosted a party two days ago and wanted Shen Xinghe to go and play with her..."

Yan Xi widened her eyes.

Qiao Yan said quickly, "But Shen Xinghe was filming at the time, and Director Jiang refused to let him go, and even chased away Mr. Qu's assistant, so Shen Xinghe didn't go. Don't worry."

Yan Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, she glanced at Qiao Yan and said, "Jiang Tao knew how to refuse, how come you didn't know?"

Qiao Yan wanted to cry but had no tears. "Director Jiang is not from Xingyao! And he is so stubborn, isn't he afraid of offending others and being banned? I am afraid! Boss, please have mercy on me, Qu Yan is the CEO of Xingyao, it's only a matter of time for her to fire me, okay!"

Yan Xi sighed, "Sorry."

Qiao Yan was just an employee. She got angry and said the wrong thing.

"Don't worry too much," Qiao Yan comforted her, "Mr. Qu won't go too far, he's just going to sing a song..."

Yan Xi was still unhappy, "What's the point of singing a song? Who knows what's going on at the scene? What's the difference between this and Han Shu in Country H?"

She had worked so hard to get Han Shu out of Country H, not to have her drink and sing birthday songs for others!

"Where are they? Let's go there now!"

——

In the studio, Xu Yangyang had just finished shooting a commercial.

There are very few shots of her. It’s obviously just a small advertisement, but she is just a background board here.

Xu Yangyang squeezed into the dressing room shared by supporting actors and put on her face a powder puff that had been used by who knows how many people. This made her feel greasy and uncomfortable. She wondered how many bacteria were in the powder puffs of various colors.

She threw the powder puff aside in anger.

Qiao Yan said that she would be given resources after she returned the one million to the company. She spent a lot of the one million, and later she scraped together enough money by selling all her previous bags.

But what resources did Qiao Yan give her?

Is a role that an extra can handle also considered a resource?

After Zhou Qingyu terminated the cooperation between Zhou's and Tianhui, she gave Zhou's endorsement and advertising resources to the artists of Xingyao. Many artists of Xingyao have become more popular recently because of the exposure.

With this comparison, Xu Yangyang felt that he was even more miserable!

After the filming of the commercial was finished, Brother Chen told Xu Yangyang that there would be no announcements for the next few days. Xu Yangyang had to go home, not knowing when the next announcement would be.

When Xu Yangyang followed Zhou Qingyu before, she occasionally had the role of the second or third female lead in small web dramas, but now even these scraps are gone!

In the underground garage, Xu Yangyang saw Yan Xifeng rushing out of the elevator and rushing towards her Mercedes-Benz.

Xu Yangyang didn't know where he got the courage from, and rushed to Yan Xi in one step.

"Yan Xi, let's talk!"

Xu Yangyang felt that she couldn't go on like this, or she would be tortured to death by Xingyao.

Yan Xi's face was extremely dark, "Get out of the way, I'm busy now."

The offline audition ends at 3 o'clock, and it is already 2 o'clock. She must send Han Shu to the interview within an hour. "Singer" is a live music variety show. If she is selected in the afternoon interview, she can perform on stage tonight.

If nothing unexpected happens, Zhou Qingyu will be able to earn luck points tonight!

"You said before that if I pay back one million, you would give me resources, Yan Xi, you can't go back on your word!"

Yan Xi said coldly, "That one million is a small amount to begin with. Is it wrong to ask you to pay it back?"

"But, but you promised..."

Yan Xi was too lazy to even look at Xu Yangyang. Lin Zhi beside her understood and pulled Xu Yangyang away, and Yan Xi got into the Mercedes-Benz.

Master Zhao was also very considerate. He stepped on the accelerator hard and did not give Xu Yangyang a chance to rush over.

Xu Yangyang was furious and tried to run to catch up with Yan Xi, but unfortunately his legs could not outrun the four wheels. After they ran out of the underground garage, Xu Yangyang could no longer run.

Her forehead was covered with sweat and her shoulders were shaking with anger.

Yan Xi is teasing her, that's definitely the case!

But now Yan Xi is the Star Glory VP, which makes her superior to her, and Xu Yangyang can't do anything to her.

Xu Yangyang gritted her teeth and looked at Daben's back with a gloomy look. She pulled at her sleeves, almost tearing them off.

——

The birthday celebration took place in a high-end club in Haicheng, which has great privacy and is frequented by many wealthy families from Haicheng and celebrities. The club will protect their privacy to the greatest extent possible.

Han Shu, wearing a sexy suspender skirt, walked through the brightly lit corridor.

Mr. Qu's assistant said, "Just go and sing a few songs. Mr. Qu's friends all like your singing voice. Is it okay to let you sing a few songs?"

But Han Shu still instinctively felt afraid of this place.

When we were in Country H, the agent also said at first that it was just singing and dancing.

Later, they became even more aggressive.

Just like boiling a frog in warm water, no one knows there is a fire burning underneath. When the warm water feels like it has turned into hot water, the frog can no longer escape.

Walking into the private room, the man put his arm around Han Shu's shoulder and said, "Mr. Qu, this is your company's new artist. She's very pretty!"

Han Shu screamed in fear and stepped aside.

The man was innocent, "Sister, you think too much, I don't mean anything else, I just think you are pretty."

Qu Yan said coldly, "Han Shu, Mr. Feng is my client, you are so rude!"

Han lowered his head timidly, "I'm sorry..."

"Okay, okay,"

President Feng patted Han Shu's shoulder generously and said, "Shu Shu must have misunderstood. It's okay! Sing a song for your brother and he won't be angry anymore!"

Someone brought a microphone and put it in Han Shu's hand, while General Feng held another microphone. "Today is my birthday. Let me sing a song with my brother. My brother is very easy to please!"

Everyone cheered, "Sing one! Sing one!"

In the box, the accompaniment of love songs has begun. It is music that Han Shu liked in the past, but he feels disgusted by it.

She saw several other artists in the box, all from Xingyao, both male and female. Everyone was silent, as if they had accepted everything.

Han Shu's eyes were red.

Just singing, I don't know how much better it is than in Country H. But maybe it's because I had expectations and my threshold was raised, so when I saw the truth, I couldn't help feeling disappointed.

The hand of the opposite sex on Han Shu's shoulder made her feel even more uncomfortable.

Mr. Feng sang first, but his voice was not pleasant and his voice was not in tune. After he sang two sentences, it was Han Shu's turn.

Han Shu held the microphone but did not speak for a long time.

She felt like she had forgotten her singing instinct, and the words were fading away...

"Mr. Qu, what's going on? Your artist is so uncooperative?"

"It's just a song. What's the big deal for a nobody?"

"I just asked them to sing. They didn't do anything. Why are you so scared?"

There were sounds all around me, noisy and chaotic.

Han Shu instinctively wanted to run.

With a "bang", the door of the box was kicked open, a hole was torn in the darkness, and light rushed in madly.

Against the light, Han Shu saw Yan Xi walk into the box.
