The next day, the finals were set at 8pm.
During the day, she still hadn’t decided what to do in the livestream. Su Ji was still focused on making her “health potions”.
She had a lot of bottles and jars now.
The herb Isatis indigotica Fortune was the best catalyst. Adding it to any formula would enhance their efficacy.
“What kind of medicine do you want?” she asked Pan Lian.
Pan Lian looked at the time. It was already afternoon, and she was still not in a hurry. She pressed on her forehead. “Make me a life-saving pill…”
She would be dying soon.
Unexpectedly, Su Ji didn’t care that she was just joking and smiled, “no problem…”
At around 5 pm, Chen Jing suddenly called Pan Lian, telling her that there was a problem with her and Su Ji’s, and she asked them to come quickly.
Obviously, she already had the answer to Zhou Xuefang’s question.
Moreover, Chen Jing realized that Su Ji had become smarter recently. If she were to call her, she would definitely not come.
Thus, she used Pan Lian as bait.
Pan Lian didn’t really want to go. “Ms. Jing, the live stream will start in two hours. Tonight is the finals, and it’s very important. Why don’t I help her? ”
“No! She has to deal with her own contract. Come over now and you’ll be back before eight. Hurry up, it’s your money…”
She sounded normal.
Pan Lian then conveyed her message to Su Ji.
Su Ji had just finished her work. She simply stuffed a few things into her backpack and put them on her shoulders. “Let’s go,” she said.
In the dormitory, Zhou Xuefang watched the two of them leave the room with a sinister look on her face.
**
When the two of them arrived at the company, Chen Jing was holding a few contracts in her hands. “Sit. I’ll print them out for you after I’m done editing.”
“Hurry up, Ms. Jing,” Pan Lian said.
Chen Jing smiled and didn’t say anything. She went into the office and didn’t come out for more than half an hour.
The clock on the wall showed that it was already 7 o’clock.
Pan Lian couldn’t sit still anymore. She knocked on the office door. After a while, Chen Jing came out.
She placed the newly printed contract on the table and said, “just sign your name at the end and you can go.”
Pan Lian quickly signed the contract and was ready to go.
Su Ji was not in a hurry. She picked up the contract and read it from the beginning to the end.
After a moment, she curled her lips and looked up at Chen Jing. “There are no major changes to the contract. There’s no need for us to come, right?”
Chen Jing didn’t expect Su Ji to be so calm. She froze, but quickly recovered. “Although there are additional conditions, it’s beneficial to all of you. It wasn’t easy for the company to come up with this new policy. As your manager, of course I hope that you’ll sign it.”
She pointed at the clock on the wall and said, “you should go. Don’t blame me if you miss the finals.”
Pan Lian quickly pulled Su Ji away.
It would take about half an hour to get back to school from Sky Entertainment. She could make it in time. She had already booked the recording studio and hall for Su Ji, so she could do the live stream wherever she wanted.
The two of them sat in the back row, and Pan Lian kept an eye on the time.
However, it was already 7:40pm, and they had yet to reach school.
The car stopped at the intersection of a busy street,
There were long lines and incessant honking. They were completely stuck in traffic.
“Sir, can you hurry up? We have to go back to school in 20 minutes!”
However, the driver glanced at the rearview mirror nonchalantly and said, “look at this for yourselves. The road is blocked and the car doesn’t have wings. What am I supposed to do? ”
Su Ji slowly retracted her gaze and looked at the driver in the rearview mirror, “how much did Ms. Jing give you?”
“6000 a month, why?” the driver pouted, “don’t all the drivers get paid this much?”
Su Ji laughed, “I mean, how much she paid you to be stuck in traffic.”
The driver’s expression changed, and his hand on the steering wheel moved unnaturally. “What are you talking about? What does the traffic jam have to do with me? Did I cause it?”
“You’re doing this on purpose!” Pan Lian also came to a realization. “There are two shorter roads to school. You could have taken any of them instead, there’s no way you don’t know!”
Pan Lian was about to die from anger, “why did Ms. Jing ask you to do this? What does she gain from that?”
After asking, she suddenly realized, “is it because of Xuefang?”
The driver didn’t expect her to guess everything correctly and was speechless for a moment.
At that moment, the road suddenly cleared.
There was no reason for the driver to stop there. The honking behind him was urging him to hurry up, and his mind was in a mess.
“Young master, don’t run…!”
Just as the driver stepped on the pedal, two pedestrians appeared in front of the car.
“Be careful!”
However, it was already too late.
There was an ear-piercing sound of friction, followed by a loud bang.
Two pedestrians were sent flying!
The already congested road became even more congested. The driver quickly got out of the car to check on the two people he had hit. The older one was a woman in her forties, probably the nanny. There was a pool of blood under her body and she kept twitching. The younger one was three or four years old. The nanny immediately lost consciousness.
The driver was completely dumbfounded!
His legs were so weak that he couldn’t stand steadily.
Pan Lian covered her mouth and called for the ambulance a few seconds later.
When the operator heard where they were, they were anxious, “it’s too congested there. It’ll take us at least half an hour to get there…”
Pan Lian looked at the time.
The time was now 7:58 pm.
It was impossible to go back to school on time.
Her competitors had all come prepared. In this situation, Su Ji would not win with just an acapella.
But…there was no other way!
“Go back to the car and sing a song. I’ll wait here for the ambulance.”
Before she could finish her words, she realized that Su Ji, who had been standing behind her, had disappeared. When she turned around, Su Ji walked to the woman who was lying on the ground.
“Su Ji…”
Su Ji calmly put down her bag and handed her phone to Pan Lian, “help me hold my phone up. The TikTok password is your birthday.”
“You’re going to…” Pan Lian’s face turned red.
The next second, Su Ji placed the bottles and jars on the ground. “Since we are here, let’s just save them.”
