591 Have You Made Up With Xie Yunzhou?
However, according to the contract they had signed, if the box office exceeded 500 million, the extra profit would be hers.
Now, Shi Xu was going to take 10%?
Not possible!
“If you’re not willing, then there’s no need to talk about the renewal of the Academy’s lease,” Shi Xu said leisurely as he leaned back in his chair.
Shi Xi was speechless.
“But this is Kuai Xue’s project. Aren’t you afraid of losing money?” Shi Xi’s eyes widened.
“Do you know how much the newly built high school affiliated with Eden Academy earns in a year?” asked Shi Xu.
Shi Xi couldn’t speak.
“How much?” Shi Xi asked after three seconds of eye contact.
“I don’t know,” Shi Xu replied. “They haven’t started recruiting students yet.”
Shi Xi: F*ck.
“According to the 100,000 per semester tuition fee for each person, if we accept 3,000 students…” Shi Xu began to calculate.
“Wait, wait, wait!” Shi Xi interrupted him and said in disbelief, “How much is the tuition?”
“100,000 per semester. What’s wrong?”
Shi Xi paused when she realized that the students were all rich people. “Nothing, I was just asking.”
“This doesn’t include their living expenses and the various expenses they have on campus,” Shi Xu continued his calculations.
Shi Xi couldn’t bear to listen to this any longer.
“I agree. We’ll give 10% of the 500 million to the company.” Shi Xi gave in.
“It’s not for the company, it’s for me.” Shi Xu smiled slyly.
Shi Xi was speechless.
Shi Xu! I’m going to sue you for abuse of power!
“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll report you to Dad?” Shi Xi began to threaten Shi Xu.
“Oh? You don’t want to continue filming in the Academy?” Shi Xu said slowly.
Shi Xi: Bow to the big bosses.jpg
After signing the contract, Shi Xu said, “Speaking of which, you still have to settle the public opinion first.”
At the mention of this, Shi Xi said weakly, “There is nothing between Leng Qiankun and me.”
How was she supposed to prove herself?
She was indeed the one who went to look for Leng Qiankun that day.
However, Shi Xi didn’t know that Leng Qiankun already had a fiancée at that time.
Besides, can’t he work with the opposite s*x just because he’s about to be married?
Looking at his sister’s melancholic expression, Shi Xu asked, “How’s the progress of the acid case?”
Shi Xi shook her head. “That woman’s mouth is corroded. She can’t speak.”
“After her husband cheated on her and transferred all his assets, then he divorced her, leaving only a daughter who is still in school.”
“I’m the one who paid for her hospitalization fees”
That woman had nothing to do with Shi Xi, so the police could only conclude that it was revenge.
She had shifted her hatred for the mistress onto Shi Xi.
Shi Xi thought to herself, ‘If you have the courage to splash sulfuric acid on me, why don’t you splash it on your ex-husband?’
Your ex-husband definitely can’t avoid it.
Why?
“Is there anything I can help you with?” asked Shi Xu.
“The company’s Public Relations Department has been helping me. Did I affect the company’s stock price?” Shi Xi asked apologetically.
“It doesn’t matter, the fluctuation isn’t big.” I’ve been thinking of buying some back at a low price,” Shi Xu said gently. “Now is a good time.”
Shi Xi knew that Shi Xu was trying to console her. She felt a warm feeling in her heart. “I’ll definitely settle this as soon as possible!”
After coming out of Shi Xu’s room, Shi Xi saw Ning Yu on her way back to her room.
Ning Yu was dressed in a lazy black hoodie and had her headphones on as she walked toward her room.
“Sister?” Shi Xi was slightly stunned. “You’re back!”
Ning Yu nodded at Shi Xi as a form of greeting and was about to enter her room.
Seeing how cold Ning Yu was, Shi Xi was already used to it.
But just as Ning Yu opened the door, she suddenly thought of something and asked, “Have you made up with Xie Yunzhou?”

592 Maternal Solo
In the end, they found on Zhao Zhu’s phone that she had once searched for news about ‘Shi Xi Third Party’ and had even published malicious rumors about it.
In the comments section, some netizens exposed Shi Xi’s filming location.
The police speculated that Zhao Zhu’s ex-husband had an affair, and when Zhao Zhu saw the content, she was filled with resentment, so she bought sulfuric acid and splashed it on Shi Xi.
They did not find any information regarding the hiring of assassins.
After the investigation, the police also issued a notice to announce the results of the investigation and called for everyone to follow the star rationally.
There were different comments below.
[What a pity. Shi Xi should have been the one to be disfigured. This Sister Zhao is so pitiful.]
[Isn’t Shi Xi going to be arrested by the police? It’s good to have a good background.]
[Shi Xi is the victim, right? Didn’t that guy who failed to splash sulfuric acid and was splashed by it in return deserve it?]
[If Shi Xi wasn’t a mistress, why would she have been splashed with sulfuric acid?]
Shi Xi felt as if she had lost her wits when she saw the heated discussions online.
Forget it, don’t be angry. No one can replace you if you get sick from anger.
Just then, Han Chuan sent a message saying that he had hired a private detective.
[By the way, check on this Zhao Zhu.]
It wasn’t that she didn’t trust the police, but if she paid a private detective to investigate, she might be able to find something unexpected.
The netizens were all looking forward to Shi Xi’s reply. They tagged her one after another, hoping that she would respond to the ‘three wise men should know three’ matter.
[@Shi Xi: Release any evidence you have. I’m not afraid. I’ve been single since being in my mother’s womb, smile.]

593 There’s Nothing Between Leng Qiankun and Me
Shi Xi, who was a solo player since being in her mother’s womb, was fearless.
The evidence that Zhou Xiangyuan had provided was only a video of her going to Leng Qiankun.
It was broad daylight, so Shi Xi didn’t have to avoid people when she made an appointment to discuss business.
Zhou Xiangyuan continued to pretend to be weak and created her image of a white lotus on the internet.
A few days later, Han Chuan came back with news.
“The private investigator has found some information.”
Shi Xi’s eyes lit up. “Is it about corruption and bribery?”
Han Chuan was silent for a moment before he said, “…No, it’s a photo of Mr. Zhou having a mistress.”
Shi Xi also fell silent.
“Most of the private detectives in China are investigating extramarital affairs,” Han Chuan explained.
Shi Xi sighed. “Alright.”
Han Chuan replied, “The private detective said that Mr. Zhou has three different women in a community.”
“He guessed that there might be more and asked if we wanted him to continue staying there for a few more days.”
“Send these to me first, then continue to squat there,” Shi Xi said.
After a while, Han Chuan sent the photo over.
Mr. Zhou had a beer belly and was walking in and out of the neighborhood with several different women.
It was enough.
Shi Xi dialed Zhou Xiangyuan’s number.
Zhou Xiangyuan saw an unfamiliar local number and picked up the call. “Who is it?”
“I’m Shi Xi. Let’s meet.”
The two of them arranged to meet in a private room at Qingshui Restaurant.
Zhou Xiangyuan walked into the private room with her head held high. When she saw Shi Xi, her eyes lit up with a proud smile. “What’s up?”
Shi Xi leaned back in her chair. “I’d like to ask you to delete your previous Weibo post and explain that everything was a misunderstanding.”
Zhou Xiangyuan thought that Shi Xi had given in and was even more pleased with herself. “Impossible!”
She wasn’t going to stand by and watch Shi Xi become a big star so comfortably!
“You know that there’s nothing between Leng Qiankun and me – what do you want?” Shi Xi cut to the chase.
“What do you want? I want you to lose all your reputation!” Zhou Xiangyuan snorted coldly and said, “A pheasant wants to be a phoenix? Why don’t you take a look at yourself and see if you’re worthy!”
Shi Xi placed the photo in front of Zhou Xiangyuan and said, “Look at these.”
“What?” Zhou Xiangyuan was suspicious. She picked up the photo, her face red and embarrassed.
No one would be indifferent when they saw photos of their own father cheating on her mother.
“You want to use this to threaten me?” Zhou Xiangyuan quickly regained her composure. “So what if my dad has a mistress? I don’t mind.”
“Oh, keeping a mistress, it’s indeed nothing.” Shi Xi poured herself a cup of tea and said, “Did you see that residential area clearly?”
Zhou Xiangyuan frowned. “What do you mean?”
Shi Xi gave a faint smile. “He has at least three women in Shallow Lake Bay, which means he has at least three properties in Qianhu District. If this is exposed, do you think the higher-ups will investigate?”
Zhou Xiangyuan’s heart tightened. “We’re rich. Why can’t we have those?”
Shi Xi’s smile was still gentle. “Of course you can. I just heard that there have been strict inspections and crackdowns recently, and you’re a popular internet celebrity.”
“Do you think they’ll find out that it’s your father?”
“Or do you really think that your father’s money is legally his?”
Due to the revelation that Shi Xi was a mistress, Zhou Xiangyuan had already attracted millions of fans online.
Naturally, Zhou Xiangyuan would not be so naïve as to think that the money in the family was clean.
She had seen many people bribing Mr. Zhou.
Moreover, he had to accept money and do things that he couldn’t.
“What do you want?” Zhou Xiangyuan asked.
“Delete your Weibo post and explain the truth.” Shi Xi’s request had always been simple.

594 The Jealousy of the Boss’s Fiancée
Zhou Xiangyuan held the photo in her hand. “What if you threaten me again in the future?”
Shi Xi’s eyes were indifferent. “What do you have that’s worth threatening?”
Zhou Xiangyuan’s heart tightened as she guessed, “You can use this photo to threaten me to break off my engagement with Leng Qiankun.”
Shi Xi, “…I think you two are a good match. I wish you all the best.”
“You really think so?” Zhou Xiangyuan was suspicious.
“Yes,” Shi Xi nodded and replied sincerely.
What the h*ll.
She was not familiar with either of them.
After this matter was settled, they all left.
Zhou Xiangyuan was still a little flustered. “No, if you use this to threaten me again in the future…”
“I’ll only give you ten minutes to post on Weibo.”
“Otherwise, the top search on Weibo in ten minutes will be about your father’s love affair and suspected corruption.”
With the time limit, Zhou Xiangyuan panicked.
She deleted her previous Weibo post, then rewrote a clarification post and posted it.
[@Zhouzhou Xiangyuan: I hereby apologize to Miss @Shi Xi.]
[My previous conjectures about Miss Shi Xi’s inappropriate behavior were all non-existent.]
[Miss Shi Xi didn’t interfere in my marriage with Mr. Leng. She was only there for work matters.]
[I thank you.]
The moment this article was posted, the internet immediately boiled over.
[What the f*ck? What kind of reversal is this?]
[Did Shi Xi bribe the blogger??]
[That’s impossible. This sister’s family runs a bank. How could she have been bribed?]
[It might really be a misunderstanding.]
[…]
After the explanation, Shi Xi immediately informed Han Chuan to buy out all the major entertainment headlines. They were determined to clear the matter of Shi Xi being a mistress.
If she had known earlier, she would have asked Zhou Xiangyuan for compensation for emotional damage.
Didn’t it cost money to buy hot searches?
After Zhou Xiangyuan posted on Weibo, she said, “If you use this photo to threaten me again, I won’t let you off!”
Shi Xi chuckled. “What can you do if I threaten you with this?”
Zhou Xiangyuan’s eyes were vicious.
Shi Xi met her gaze and suddenly asked, “Did you instigate Zhao Zhu to pour sulfuric acid on me?”
“No!” Zhou Xiangyuan immediately retorted.
Shi Xi had never expected her to admit it.
Even the police could not find out what the relationship between Zhao Zhu and Zhou Xiangyuan was.
Before Zhou Xiangyuan left, she glared at her. “You’d better not come begging me!”
“Don’t worry, I won’t ask you for help,” Shi Xi replied.
Even if she was short of money, she would only ask her father for help.
Zhou Xiangyuan swept through the photos and took them away.
Before she left, she even slammed the door shut.
Shi Xi exhaled, leaned back in her chair, and closed her eyes.
This matter was finally resolved.
After the problem with her reputation was solved, she could sign the contract with Sheng Yan.
The three of them agreed to continue renting the Academy to her, and the movie could be shot smoothly.
After that, Shi Xi got busy again.
Online, people were guessing that Shi Xi had bribed Zhou Xiangyuan, but that was just a guess.
However, two days later, an employee of the Leng Corporation suddenly posted a complaint about Zhou Xiangyuan’s evil side and how jealous the boss’s fiancée was.
[Since I became my boss’s secretary, my boss’s fiancée, Zhou Xiangyuan, has been making things difficult for me.]
[I have already been handing over my work for the past few days, but my boss’s fiancée is still not letting me off.]
[Forget about the insults and coffee that you’ve thrown at me before, but you’ve slapped me in the face today…]
[I’ve already called the police.]
Not only did the secretary call the police, but she also posted the video that she had secretly recorded so that the entire internet could appreciate Zhou Xiangyuan’s shrewish behavior.
[F*ck, is this Zhouzhou Xiangyuan? It’s completely different from how she looks like on Weibo!]

595 I Don’t Drink Milk Tea. There’s a Lot of Sugar In Milk Tea, And I’ll Get Acne and Gain Weight After Drinking It
[Oh my god, it’s so unpleasant to hear her scolding others. I’m a man and I can’t stand it anymore.]
[Female secretary, you don’t sound like a good person. Isn’t it normal for a wife to hit a mistress?]
[This female secretary dared to call the police. Maybe she wants to get promoted.]
[…]
There were many speculations, but Zhou Xiangyuan’s image had completely collapsed.
When the netizens refreshed the page, they realized that Zhou Xiangyuan’s Weibo account had already been deleted.
Not long after, the female secretary’s post was also deleted.
It was as if nothing had happened.
The top trending topic was Shi Xi’s style when she went to the production team today.
The fans knew that they were using Shi Xi as a shield, but who would mind a free hot search?
Later on, Shi Xi heard from Tao Yuxuan that it was Zhou Xiangyuan’s father who had stepped in and spent a sum of money to mediate the situation before the matter was settled.
The so-called cheating was nothing more than this.
At the film crew.
Shi Xi was looking through the script when she noticed a familiar face discussing something with the director.
“Chu Hua?” Shi Xi’s memory wasn’t bad, so she managed to recall the person’s name.
Chu Hua, who was discussing with the director, heard someone calling her, and turned to look.
“Good day, Miss Shi.” Chu Hua smiled and greeted her.
“What are you doing here?” Shi Xi asked.
“Teacher Chu Hua is our costume consultant for this movie. A lot of the clothes for the crew are custom-made from Chu Tang Workshop,” the director explained.
“I’m here to show the director the final version of some costumes,” Chu Hua said.
“Oh,” Shi Xi replied. “You guys go ahead.”
Chu Hua and the director continued their discussion.
Lou Ruicong sat next to Shi Xi and said while holding his phone. “F*ck!”
“Huh?”
“You’ve been on dozens of hot searches this week,” Lou Ruicong said with envy.
Shi Xi was speechless. “Most of them are black hot searches. It’s better not to have them.”
“A black hot search is still a hot search!” Lou Ruicong didn’t agree with Shi Xi’s idea and urged her, “You should also post something on Weibo to promote our new movie.”
Shi Xi was even more speechless. “Our movie hasn’t even been released yet, so what’s the point of promoting it?”
Lou Ruicong replied, “Promote it while you’re hot! Otherwise, what if you’re outdated when the movie is released?”
Shi Xi: You don’t have to talk it if you don’t know how to speak.
No one is forcing you to speak.
Fortunately, Pei Jie came over to help her out very quickly.
Pei Jie brought two cups of milk tea over and handed one to Shi Xi. “Teacher Shi Xi, have some milk tea.”
Even though he had already left the talent show, Pei Jie still maintained his original form of address.
“Thank you,” she said. Shi Xi took it.
Pei Jie only brought two cups of milk tea. Seeing that Lou Ruicong was also beside him, he handed the other cup of milk tea to him. “Senior, have some milk tea.”
“I’m not drinking,” Lou Ruicong refused.
Pei Jie thought Lou Ruicong was being polite and said, “It’s okay, I’ll get my assistant to buy more.”
Lou Ruicong replied, “No, I don’t drink milk tea.”
“Milk tea has a lot of sugar in it. After drinking it, you will get pimples, gain weight, lose your memory, and your muscles will soften.”
Shi Xi, who was drinking milk tea, was speechless.
Pei Jie, who was holding the milk tea in the air, was speechless. He didn’t expect someone to be even less sociable than him.
“You can drink it yourself,” Shi Xi said. “Lou Ruicong only likes goji berries.”
Lou Ruicong took his thermos cup at the right time.
Pei Jie thought about Lou Ruicong’s words and did not want to drink milk tea anymore.
“Let’s rehearse our lines,” Shi Xi said as she opened the script.
“Sure. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask me,” Lou Ruicong said naturally.
Pei Jie and Lou Ruicong did not have many scenes together and did not spend much time together, so he was a stranger to him.
From the looks of it now, he should be a difficult senior to get along with, right?
