347 The Mysterious Big Boss
Si Jingchuan was not wearing his headphones, so he could hear what they were talking about. However, he didn’t deny it.
He wanted to let these people know that he was protecting boss and Xu Ni.
There was no Zhou Xuefang on this flight.
The cabin quieted down, and everyone found a comfortable position. Huang Huayu covered Su Ji with a blanket, who was resting with her eyes closed. Su Ji opened her eyes and looked at him. Huang Huayu almost sang “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” to her. He said in a fatherly manner, “you sleep. I’ll wake you up when it’s time for dinner.”
The plane took off, flying towards XBY.
**
A 13-hour flight would make one dizzy.
It was still daytime when they landed. The sun hung high in the sky, and it was quite glaring. It was also winter in the northern hemisphere, but the climate was warmer than in A City. It already had the atmosphere of early spring.
It was expected to take at least three more hours by car before they would reach the hotel. The crew had four cars, all arranged by Huang Huayu in advance.
Pei Huai asked Su Ji to tell him when she landed but Su Ji was so sleepy that she forgot about it. She even forgot to turn on her phone. As soon as they got into the car, Pei Huai called Huang Huayu.
Huang Huayu said a few words and handed the phone to Su Ji. “CEO Pei is looking for you.”
He thought that there was nothing to worry about since he already knew, but he forgot that there were two other actors in the same car as them who had been gossiping about Xu Ni.
As the car started to move, Su Ji leaned against the window and pulled her hair back. “Hello,” she said lazily.
After a few seconds, she yawned. “Ah, I forgot.”
It didn’t sound like a subordinate reporting to her boss.
The others sniffed out something fishy and whispered to Huang Huayu, “Assistant Director Huang, is that CEO Pei from Blue Whale?”
“Why did he ask for Su Ji?”
Assistant Director Huang glared at them. “Don’t be busybodies.”
The two of them: “…”
Then, the car fell silent. The two of them and Huang Huayu sat in their seats with a straight face. The car swayed as they listened to Su Ji.
They wanted to find some clues through her reply.
However, Su Ji did not speak much throughout the entire phone call. She basically answered whatever Pei Huai asked.
They heard Su Ji say “yes”, “yes” and “yes”.
They couldn’t figure anything out.
However, they did not know that on the other end of the phone, the CEO was asking her in such a gentle voice, “are you very sleepy?”
“Go back to the hotel and catch up on some sleep.”
Su Ji’s final “mm” was the answer to Pei Huai’s final question, “did you miss me?”
There was a traffic jam on the road, and it took a full four and a half hours to reach their destination.
The actors ‘eyes were green and their faces were full of fatigue.
Si Jingchuan vomited as soon as he got out of the car. His pretty face turned pale. The driver was driving very fast.
Xu Ni criticized him for being so delicate, but her hand was still patting his back.
Su Ji gave him an all-purpose pill, and Si Jingchuan finally came back to life.
This was the reason why he didn’t like to go overseas even though he was very popular.
If Su Ji and Xu Ni had not come, he would not have come.
Su Ji put a lychee candy into her mouth. Han Junlei brought them to the hotel they were staying at.
This was a developed city in the south of XBY, where the Bai Ai Award Ceremony would be held the next night.
There was the world’s largest Gothic cathedral here, and there were many sights to visit. However, Han Junlei asked for everyone’s opinion on whether they wanted to rest or go walk around. Everyone’s answer was the same. They wanted to go back to their rooms to catch up on sleep and get over the jet lag!
It was already evening when everyone woke up.
After sleeping for five to six hours, even Si Jingchuan was full of energy.
Huang Huayu and Han Junlei made a reservation at a very famous local restaurant.
Before entering the restaurant, Han Junlei said to everyone, “the award ceremony is tomorrow night. There are already many celebrities here today, and this restaurant is a local celebrity restaurant. We might see other celebrities, so don’t embarrass yourselves…”
In short, they must be polite to everyone.
The large group of people entered the largest private room inside.
Bright colors, round windows, and spiral pillars. Their private room happened to be near the sea.
Everyone sat down and immediately started to order. Su Ji stood up with her phone.
The moment Xu Ni saw that, she asked, “where are you going?”
“The washroom,” Su Ji replied.
“I’ll accompany you?” Xu Ni asked.
She could now publicly accompany her to the washroom.
However, Su Ji said no. “Order for me. You know my preference.”
“No problem!” Xu Ni replied.
There were windows in the corridor, and she could see the waves beating on the beach. Su Ji came out of the bathroom and saw such a beautiful scene.
She recorded a video and sent it to her mother, saying that she remembered the days when they were drifting at sea.
Xu Mingzhi was also reminiscing about the past, but she was reading the life history of Concubine Su.
...
The real version.
Just as she was about to call her daughter, she received a WeChat message.
Xu Mingzhi asked her, “the information that I found this time says that you died in the XX year of the Shang dynasty.”
In other words, she was in her 20s.
[ “I want to know which b * tch hurt my baby!” ]
Su Ji raised her hand to her forehead. She wanted to reminisce about the good times with her mother, not this. She casually brushed it off and ended the call. Instead of going back to the room, she went to the balcony to get some peace.
When she returned later, she could avoid the social segment and eat the delicious food immediately.
This was the quietest part of the restaurant.
She sat on one end of the bench.
The door to the balcony was slightly ajar, and her long hair fluttered in the wind. It was a little cold.
There was the sound of a lighter being flicked and the smell of cigarettes came from beside her. She noticed that a foreign man who looked like a local was sitting on the other side of the bench.
...
His bright-colored shirt was unbuttoned all the way to his chest, and he had a white suit jacket on the outside. He crossed his legs and had a cigarette in his mouth. He was looking down at the phone in his hand, and his fingers were moving quite quickly.
He looked high-profile, but he was wearing a top hat, as if he didn’t want others to recognize him, but he wasn’t covering up like a celebrity.
A foreigner with brown hair and blue eyes.
He was also here to paddle for peace and quiet.
Su Ji was not interested. She was about to leave when she suddenly heard a sound coming from his phone, “defeated!”
Su Ji was really familiar with that voice.
The man cursed.
The game was very popular.
Su Ji went back to her seat. This time, she sat a little closer to him.
This made him look up at her. His eyes, which seemed a little evil, were deep and full of doubts.
Su Ji found an XBY real-time translation on her mobile phone and placed it between the two of them. She said, “shall I help you?”
