Chapter 154: Su Ji’s Backer

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Su Ji could have said, “it’s just a small injury. Don’t worry about it.”

But Su Ji was not like that. She immediately said, “I was tricked by Song Heng.”

Pei Huai looked at the wound on her head for a while, “I’ll help you apply some medicine first.”

Pei Huai made her sit on his chair and got up to get the medicine.

Su Ji knew that he was a very stubborn person. He had insisted on applying medicine for her when she had a few small wounds on her fingers, let alone when her forehead was bleeding.

Therefore, Su Ji did not refuse and cooperated with him.

Pei Huai carefully cleaned her wound. Her beautiful skin had already formed a scab, but she tore it.

Pei Huai’s brows were tightly furrowed.

Su Ji saw that he seemed so serious and wanted to relax the atmosphere.

She quietly reached for the book.

As expected, Pei Huai noticed her actions, “you still want to read it?”

Su Ji smiled, “well, not exactly…”

Pei Huai’s expression didn’t change much while he carefully disinfected the wound, “Im confiscating it.”

“Where did you buy the book?” Pei Huai asked after a long while.

He was just curious where she bought it from.

However, Su Ji misunderstood what he meant, “you also want to buy it?”

“Just read mine, you don’t have to waste money on buying another one,” Su Ji said.

Pei Huai didn’t bother to explain.

Su Ji suddenly thought of something, “well, it’s best not to let my mom know that you’re living next door for now.”

“Why?” Pei Huai asked.

Su Ji’s eyes flickered, “there’s no reason. Just listen to me.”

“Alright,” Pei Huai smiled.

The next day, Pei Huai left for the company very early.

Xu Mingzhi never mentioned the neighbor again.

Su Ji still had to go to the set today to reshoot the previous scenes with Su Qianrou.

“Did you see our neighbor last night?” Xu Mingzhi asked when she saw her leaving the house, “he leaves early and returns late. How mysterious.”

“No, I didn’t,” Su Ji touched the tip of her nose.

“Oh,” Xu Mingzhi said, “it’s better that you don’t meet them. Those who read that kind of book are most likely perverts. When you go to bed at night, you must draw the curtains properly. The window facing east is facing his bedroom window.”

“Is that so?” Su Ji didn’t notice it last night.

“Why don’t I switch rooms with you?” Xu Mingzhi suggested.

Su Ji was afraid that her boyfriend, who was her scapegoat, would be exposed, “no need. I’ll open the south-facing window. It’s fine as long as I don’t open the curtain.”

Xu Mingzhi nodded, but she still didn’t feel at ease.

The first episode of “The Billion Stars” was about to air, so Su Ji was quite busy these few days.

Not only did she have to reshoot the scenes, but she also had to record the theme song.

Meng Na had finished writing the song and she named it “Love Contract”. The three of them went to the recording studio to record their respective parts.

The teacher in the recording studio was a veteran and had helped many newcomers record their first singles, but he had never witnessed such a scene!

First, the top manager from Blue Whale, Pei Xi, came to greet him, “Mr. Ke, please take care of them. These three kids are quite talented, but they don’t have much experience.”

Then, Manager Ren came over and asked, “how did it go? If there’s anything that needs to be improved, be patient and don’t be too hard on them.”

Finally, the CEO, Pei Huai, came and sat beside him. He even asked him in a serious tone, “do you think this song will become popular?”

The legendary Old Ke was speechless.

With so many big shots supporting them, it would be strange if it wasn’t popular!

The first episode was released on Saturday night at 8 pm.

Meng Na and the others also finished recording the theme song at the same time.

Xu Mingzhi informed all the employees that they had to sit in front of the TV and watch this episode at 8 pm that night.

And she would pay them for overtime.

This included those in Continent M, who could watch it online.

Blue Whale’s production was definitely of high quality.

The press conference had already created the hype, and the few lead actors were trending every few days.

Not only did the viewership of the first episode break the record, Su Ji’s one-shot fight scene also exploded on the internet!

Previously, Su Ji was already trending due to her family drama, but now she was once again in the headlines.

[ “I’m already tired of saying this, but Su Ji is so cool!” ]

[ “This is the most powerful female lead I’ve ever seen!” ]

[ “This is why the male lead cannot forget about her!” ]

When the first episode was aired, the character created by Su Ji, with her beautiful and badass image, firmly captured the audience’s attention.

Their original theme song was also pushed to the top of the billboard.

The song “Love Contract ” was just like its name. It made people want to fall in love.

The next day at work, half of the Xu Group employees knew how to sing it!

There were even some who were good at sucking up and suggested that this song should be the theme song for the Xu’s Group annual dinner.

Zhou Xuefang felt threatened. She hadn’t even appeared yet but the series had already exploded.

In the first episode, Su Ji was the main character, while she was the main character in the second episode. There would be an implicit competition.

Now that the response to Su Ji’s episode was so good, she must not lose!

Meanwhile, Song Heng enjoyed the success.

Even Zhang Guihua called him to congratulate him.

He had woken up twice in one night with joy. With the initial popularity, he had definitely succeeded!

He was popular in directing movies and TV series. How could there be someone as talented as him in this world? Those so-called great directors could just pack up and retire.

The next morning after the premiere of “The billion Stars”, Song Heng received a call from Manager Ren.

“Song Heng, come to the office this morning,” Ren Guanghua said.

Song Heng was so happy that he did not notice the coldness in his voice, “no problem! I’ll be there immediately!”

When he arrived at the meeting room, Ren Guanghua was not there, but Song Heng saw Su Ji sitting inside.

The smile on his face immediately froze, “Su Ji, what are you doing here? Where’s Manager Ren? Wasn’t he looking for me?”

Su Ji sat in a manly posture, her slender elbow resting on the armrest of the chair. She gently touched the wound on her forehead that had already formed a scab, “to be exact, I’m the one looking for you.”

Song Heng suddenly recalled what happened the other day and asked warily, “why? I’m warning you, be careful with your words! I’m the director!”

“Soon, you won’t be anymore,” Su Ji smiled and pushed a contract to him, “sign the termination contract and withdraw from the ‘The Billion Stars’. As for the reason, you should know without me saying, right? As the director, you took advantage of your position and replaced the extras with professional fighters. Do you need me to continue?”

Song Heng quickly glanced behind Su Ji and saw that the door to the meeting room was tightly shut. He then looked for the surveillance camera in the room but did not find it. He pushed his glasses up with a fierce expression, “Su Ji! I thought you were quite sensible, but it seems that I was wrong. Let’s not talk about whether you have any evidence about the incident. Even if you do, the show is so popular now, do you think I’m stupid enough to quit? What right do you have to change the director?”

Su Ji smiled and did not say anything.

“What if I was the one who suggested changing the director?”

Pei Huai’s deep voice came.

The door of the meeting room opened, and a man appeared behind Su Ji.

On his left and right were Pei Xi and Ren Guanghua.
