Chapter 325 I Miss You Especially
"Han Xi..."
Sheng Qianrui was wearing a black off-shoulder miniskirt today. Her collarbone was deeply sunken due to grievance and surprise. Her originally moist red lips became dry and cracked, gradually revealing the lip lines that were covered up.
"Are you really going to destroy the entire Shengshi Group because of a woman?"
Sheng Jinghui looked restless, trying to suppress the panic in his heart and coughed lightly: "Qian Rui, stop talking."
He looked at Han Xi and smiled slightly: "How about we eat first? We can talk about these things slowly after dinner?"
"No need to eat, let's talk things over now."
Han Xi held the phone, swiping on it with a faint frown, and said in a cold tone, "Is it me who is too ruthless and unfeeling, or is it that Shengshi Group has been using the Taihu Bay project as a springboard from the beginning to make a fortune? Director Sheng should know it in his heart."
The smile on Sheng Jinghui's face suddenly froze.
In an instant, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his gray temples.
Even Sheng Qianrui, who originally had a look of resentment in her eyes, turned pale and clenched her palms nervously.
Only Han Ming didn't understand the truth. He frowned and asked, "What do you mean? Your uncle Sheng has always been the most honest and trustworthy person in the industry. How could he do such a thing?"
Seeing Han Ming speaking for them, Sheng Jinghui suppressed his panic and said reluctantly, "Yes, Xiu Jin, there must be some misunderstanding in this matter..."
"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, Mr. Sheng can see for himself."
Han Xi placed the phone directly on the turntable, and with a slight force of his slender fingers, the turntable slowly turned, and the phone slid in front of the three people one by one.
"The failure rate of Shengshi Group's building material inspections is as high as 17%. The Han Group invested nearly 10 billion yuan in the first phase of the Taihu Bay project. If the project goes wrong, who will lose the most? Isn't Shengshi Group using the Han Group as a springboard?"
"Impossible! The Sheng family and the Han family have been cooperating for many years. Your uncle Sheng would never do this!"
Seeing that the Sheng family father and daughter were silent, Han Ming was the only one who refuted. Han Xi took back his phone, took out another document, and placed it in front of them again, saying:
"This is a test report from a third party. It's quite interesting that someone actually replaced the sample beforehand."
Sheng Qianrui's face completely lost all color.
Her hand shook and the red wine glass next to her was knocked over by her. With a sharp sound, the dark red wine instantly spread on the table and flowed quickly towards Han Xi.
Although she reacted quickly and wiped it hurriedly with a napkin, a small amount of red wine still splashed onto Han Xi.
She bit her lip tightly and looked at Sheng Jinghui with shaking eyes, but found that her father's face looked even uglier than hers. The color of his lips had changed, and he looked ten years older in an instant.
"About this matter, I..." Sheng Qianrui tried her best to explain, but when she opened her mouth, she found that nothing she said seemed to make sense in the face of evidence.
"Letting Shengshi Group voluntarily withdraw from the Taihu Bay project is the greatest dignity I can leave for the Sheng family. As long as the Sheng family behaves in the future, this report will never appear again, but..."
Han Xi paused and looked across at Han Ming, who was holding his phone with a look of disbelief on his face. He pursed his lips and said, "If the Sheng family doesn't know what's good for them, then I can only be ruthless and handle things impartially."
-
After saying everything he needed to say, Han Xi left without even touching the table full of food with his chopsticks.
I don't know when it started raining.
The street lights dragged long trails of light on the road after the rain. Han Xi's black car drove through the puddles, splashing tiny drops of water.
As the car drove out of the restaurant, Han Xi reached out and dialed Fang Li's number.
After a few rings, the other party picked up the phone.
"Mr. Han? Didn't you have a social engagement? Why did it end so quickly?"
Xu Fangli's voice was wrapped in the noisy background noise on the set, and one could faintly hear the director's clapboard shouting "Scene 32, time 4".
Han Xi turned the steering wheel and turned onto the auxiliary road: "It's over. I miss you so much now."
He glanced at the red wine stain on his sleeve and frowned slightly. "How's your situation? Is it not over yet?"
The rustling of papers came from the other end of the phone: "There are two night shows tonight, but they should be over soon. If Mr. Han doesn't mind..."
Her voice suddenly dropped. "Wait for me at the back door of Shed B, next to the fire escape. I'll come find you when I'm done."
After hanging up the phone, Han Xi lightly pressed the brakes to slow down the car.
The remaining raindrops on the windshield refracted the neon lights into colorful blocks of color, just like the stunning dress worn by Xu Fangli at the Wenxi Film and Television charity dinner.
For some reason, he particularly wanted to see that cunning little woman at this moment.
When Han Xi arrived at the back door of Shelter B at the film and television base, there were not many people around, only a few cars parked.
He originally wanted to wait for her in the car, but he vaguely heard the sound of filming inside. Thinking that he seemed to have never seen Fang Li's studio before, he turned off the light, opened the car door and got out.
A few minutes later, a figure quietly entered the crew.
At that time, Fang Li was sitting in a chair not far from the scene watching the actors rehearse their performances. For a moment, she felt that she had not yet retired from the entertainment industry.
She rubbed her sore eyes, smiled to herself, and reached for the coffee on the table beside her without turning back.
She was completely unaware as a tall figure quietly approached and quietly took her hand when she reached out.
"Ah!" Xu Fangli turned around abruptly, the script in her hand scattering to the ground. When she saw who it was, she was surprised and delighted: "Why are you here...!"
"You're still drinking coffee so late, don't you want to sleep tonight?"
Han Xi squatted down to help her pick up the documents, and suddenly stopped when his fingertips touched a certain page.
The scene description column clearly reads: "The male protagonist went to another woman's party without the female protagonist's knowledge, and lied to her that it was a business dinner..."
Seeing his expression change slightly, Xu Fangli bent down and took away the page of paper.
I looked at him curiously, "What's up? Why do you look like that? Are you suddenly interested in our industry?"
Han Xi helped her pick up the other documents, then squatted beside her and said in a deep voice, "I'm actually going to meet the Sheng family father and daughter tonight."
Xu Fangli's smile paused slightly, and she glanced at him and saw the red wine stain on his sleeve.
She couldn't help but raise her hand, her fingertips brushing against the mark. Then she turned around and took out a wet wipe from her bag to help him wipe it. "Is it because of that incident?"
Fang Li's transparency softened Han Xi's heart, and he nodded: "Yeah."
Fang Li raised an eyebrow and sniffed his sleeve with feigned suspicion. "It's not like ordinary red wine. It has a slight minty aftertaste... Is it Romanee-Conti 2005?"
She frowned slightly, "The Sheng family is quite sincere. Do they want to apologize to you?"
Han Xi held her hand and said, "You are the one they should apologize to the most."
"Didn't Sheng Qianrui already say that?"
Xu Fangli rolled the wipes into a ball and dropped them precisely into the trash can. "I don't believe they came to you just to apologize. There must be something else going on."
She pulled a chair over and asked him to sit down.
"Tell me about it?"
The night wind lifted the cover of the script, revealing the three words "Monday".
Han Xi stuffed the documents back into her bag and said, "Let's talk about it when we get home."
