Chen Xixi followed the sound and looked over.
She saw a tall figure slowly walking out from the elevator entrance.
The man was wearing a well-tailored haute couture suit that perfectly accentuated his broad shoulders and narrow waist. Unusually, he was wearing a tie today, making it look like he was attending a very formal event, yet here he was suddenly appearing at the TV show recording studio.
The chief director slowly shifted his gaze and the moment he met Zhou Jinyuanâs grim eyes, his legs went weak and he stammered, âPresident Zhou, what brings you here?â
Zhou Jinyuan, seemingly ignoring the chief director, walked over to Chen Xixi, his previously grim eyes instantly turning into a smile filled with affection: âDo you like this place? Want me to buy it for you to play with?â
Money tension to the max!
And itâs from Uncle!!
As Zhou Jinyuan spoke, he coldly glanced at the chief director, then turned his gaze back to Chen Xixi, saying softly, âIf I buy it, itâs yours. You can say whatever you want, Iâd like to see who dares to oppose you.â
Chen Xixiâs lips slightly curved upward. She looked at the chief director and, in an especially affected manner, twisted her neck and haughtily raised her chin: âNot impressed, donât want to buy it.â
Zhou Jinyuan looked at Chen Xixiâs demeanor that seemed to say, âLook whoâs got my back,â and couldnât help but smile softly: âAlright, itâs all up to you.â
The chief director was instantly dumbfounded!
It was clear that Zhou Jinyuan was completely captivated by Chen Xixi!
Otherwise, Zhou Jinyuan wouldnât have come up and started defending Chen Xixi without asking any questions.
Sweat started forming on the chief directorâs back as he looked at Chen Xixi and fawned with a smile: âYes, yes, this small place certainly isnât up to your standards. Itâs normal that you donât like it. Even if you donât buy, you can treat this place like your own home and say whatever you want!â
Zhou Jinyuan suddenly looked at the chief director, then glanced around the simple recording studio and said with a disdainful tone, âTreat it like her own home? My girlfriend lives in such poor conditions? Over my dead body.â
A recording studio, no matter how well-equipped, can only be so good; thereâs not even heating, aside from the small area set for shooting decorated with cheap plastic ornaments, the rest almost resembles an unfinished building.
The chief director almost wanted to kneel!
Girlfriend!!
Chen Xixi is Zhou Jinyuanâs girlfriend!
All that gold-digging and schemingly seducing President Zhou talk was nonsense!
Chen Xixi was already officially the girlfriend!
My God! So she is the real princess!
This generationâs paparazzi are slacking! They failed to capture such major news and made him offend a big shot!
âIndeed, not worthy,â the chief director said as he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and sneakily glanced at Zhou Jinyuan, then looked at Chen Xixi and bravely smiled, âIf you had mentioned this connection earlier, I would have asked Wu Jingjing to leave already!â
Zhou Jinyuan: âItâs not too late to ask her to leave now.â
ââ¦Ah?!â The chief director was stunned!
He had just made a casual remark to try to salvage the situation, but Zhou Jinyuan decisively made such an unkind decision?
The chief director tugged at the corner of his mouth, turned his head to meet Zhou Jinyuanâs cold gaze, and nervously said, âI suddenly remembered Wu Jingjing is Tianyu Media President Wuâs own sister. It may be difficult to explain if we just send her away like thatâ¦â
Zhou Jinyuan: âJust say I told you to, let him come find me if thereâs a problem.â
âAlright, alright, Iâll see to it!â the chief director replied, then turned his gaze back to Chen Xixi, obsequiously smiled and said, âShall we go back to shooting the show now?â
Chen Xixi looked disdainfully at the chief directorâs second-faced behavior, along with his nodding and bowing to please her, almost as if only missing the words: âPrincess, please return to shooting the show.â
Chen Xixi, seeing the chief directorâs demeaning attitude, instantly lost her fighting spirit. She couldnât be bothered with the chief director, turned her head, and looked at Zhou Jinyuan: âWhy did you come over?â
Zhou Jinyuan spoke slowly, âOut of ten app notifications on my phone screen, eight are trending searches about you â splashing water, arguing, hitting people â every single one of them makes me feel like I as your boyfriend have to step in, I canât let my girlfriend suffer because she has no one to help her.â
He was supposed to be in a significant meeting, but when he saw the notifications on his phone halfway there, he immediately had Assistant Xu change his itinerary.
Though the trending searches all say that Chen Xixi has the upper hand, he still worries someone might cause trouble for her.
Chen Xixi doesnât want him to go public, but that doesnât mean he can just watch his girlfriend get bullied.
If he really did that, he might as well hang himself from a tree â whatâs the point of being alive if he canât even protect his own girlfriend?
Chen Xixiâs eyes clearly smiled, âOh, so you came specifically to back me up?â
âWhat else? I normally wouldnât even glance at this lousy place.â
The main director sensed that this was a big problem!
Came specifically to back her up!
As for Tao Bin⦠well⦠he should just wish himself good luck!
As Zhou Jinyuan spoke, he grabbed Chen Xixiâs hand and made as if to take her away. He looked up at the main director and casually asked, âIâm taking her with me, no objections, right?â
The main director thought: Wow! Look at how polite you are, even asking me! How could I dare object! Am I tired of living or what!
Then he said with a smile, âPlease, feel free to take her! Feel free to take her!â
The main director watched as the two âbig Buddhasâ, hand-in-hand, entered the elevator and he sighed with relief.
In the observation room, Jin Cheng looked at the main director returning alone and quickly asked, âWhereâs Chen Xixi? Did you send her away?â
The main director evasively replied, âShe had to leave early, just keep filming as usual.â
Zhou Jinyuan hadnât made it public, how could the main director dare blab about Zhou Jinyuan taking her away?
Smart people know not to say what shouldnât be said.
After the main director finished speaking, he looked at Wu Jingjing and smilingly said, âJingjing, come over here, Iâve got something to tell you.â
[Where did Chen Xixi go?]
[She must have been kicked out of the show by the main director, right! After causing such a huge problem, how could they dare keep her!]
[I feel like if the main director doesnât kick Chen Xixi out of the show, she will start beating him up next, no joke.]
[Chen Xixi is trying to bully the whole show crew!]
[She isnât that outrageous yet, Tianyu Media should be stepping in to penalize Chen Xixi soon, just wait and watch the drama unfold!]
Downstairs, in the black Bentley, Chen Xixi looked at the man sitting next to her, who had a somber expression, and asked in confusion, âWhere are you taking me?â
Zhou Jinyuan unbuttoned his suit and casually pulled off his tie: âTo the hospital.â
âYouâre not feeling well?â
Zhou Jinyuan didnât explain anything, just grunted in response.
Chen Xixi quickly placed her hand on Zhou Jinyuanâs forehead, âWhatâs wrong? Let me check.â
He didnât seem to have a fever.
Zhou Jinyuan said, âYouâll know when we get there.â
Twenty minutes later, as Chen Xixi stood at the entrance of the hospital room, she finally understood why Zhou Jinyuan was feeling unwell.
It was because Tao Bin made him feel unwell.
