Mr. Ji, stop spoiling me, your wife is on the hot search again

Director Chen was interrupted by Xia Qingqian's cell phone ringing before he could finish his words.

Xia Qingqian took out her phone and saw it was Chen Manni calling. She said apologetically to them, "Sorry, I have to take a call first."

Then he turned sideways and answered the phone.

"Sister Manni~" At this moment, Xia Qingqian seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, hoping that there would be good news from Yang Manni.

Yang Manni asked directly, "Are you on the set? Is Director Chen here?"

"On the set, Director Chen is here too." Xia Qingqian replied immediately.

"Give him the phone." Yang Manni said bluntly on the other end of the phone.

Xia Qingqian didn't hesitate for a moment. She walked up to Director Chen with her phone in hand and handed it to him. "Director Chen, my agent wants to talk to you."

Director Chen took the phone with a puzzled look on his face. He didn't know what Sister Manni said to Director Chen on the phone. She only saw Director Chen nodded and responded twice. The serious expression on his face seemed to ease a little. Finally, he said "OK" and returned the phone to Xia Qingqian.

Xia Qingqian took the phone and found that it was not hung up yet, so she picked it up and put it to her ear. Yang Manni's capable voice came, "You have to go to the company this afternoon. I have asked for leave for you."

"Ah?...Okay." Xia Qingqian was a little confused.

So, is it resolved?

After hanging up the phone, Director Chen said to her, "Your scenes are almost finished today, so go back first. Since Yang Manni said that it will be resolved today, we just need to deal with it."

After Director Chen finished speaking, the two investor representatives also nodded.

Xia Qingqian came out of the lounge with her feet feeling as light as if they were stepping on cotton. She quickly packed her things, changed out of her filming clothes, picked up her bag and ran out.

I hailed a taxi at the door and went to the company.

When she ran out of the dressing room, she was seen by Chen Xiaowei and Du Zhizhi. The two stood behind her and watched her run out, thinking that she was taken away by Director Chen.

"I thought the person behind the scenes was so powerful, but it turns out he's only capable of this much." Chen Xiaowei clasped her hands in front of her chest and snorted coldly at Xia Qingqian's back.

Du Zhizhi stood beside her without saying a word, slightly raised the corner of her mouth, with an ambiguous expression on her face, and turned and left.

Xia Qingqian rushed all the way to the company, took the elevator and went directly to Yang Manni's office. She pushed the door open and said with a slight breath, "Sister Manni~"

Yang Manni stood up and poured her a glass of water. "Why are you running so fast? You must be feeling guilty."

Xia Qingqian took the cup of water, took a big gulp, and sat down on the sofa in the office. It took her a while to stop panting.

As soon as he raised his head, he met Yang Manni's inquiring gaze, which was half smiling and half not.

"Sister Manny, don't stare at me like that, I'm afraid..." Xia Qingqian smiled awkwardly and automatically shrank back into the sofa.

Yang Manni pulled a chair directly in front of her and sat down. The close distance made Xia Qingqian feel oppressed. She raised the smile on her face, looking silly and innocent.

"You're still afraid? You're so capable and have caused such a big mess for me. What's there to be afraid of?" Yang Manni began to lecture her.

"Sister Manny, you really can't blame me for this..." Xia Qingqian defended herself in a low voice.

"Who do you blame? You didn't even know someone was secretly photographing you!" Yang Manni interrupted Xia Qingqian.

Xia Qingqian shrank her head and took another big gulp of water, then asked, "Sister Manni, what did you say to Director Chen? Can the hot search issue be resolved? Is my play over?" Although Director Chen just said that Sister Manni told him that it would be handled, she still felt that it was probably over.

"Remove the trending search later, pick out the paparazzi and send some lawyers' letters to file a lawsuit." Yang Manni told Xia Qingqian the company's solution.

Xia Qingqian was stunned for a moment, and gave Yang Manni a thumbs up, "Sister Manni, you are really amazing. You can find people to evacuate even when there is a trending search."

"Don't give me that. I don't have that ability. It was President Ji who gave the order." Yang Manni mentioned Ji Fengfan, squinted her eyes and stared at Xia Qingqian and asked, "Tell me, who picked you up last night?"

Xia Qingqian held the water cup, looking around, not daring to look Yang Manni in the eye, and answered vaguely, "It's... President Ji~"

"Speak louder, who will pick you up?" Yang Manni didn't give her a chance to escape this time.

"It's President Ji~" Xia Qingqian answered with gritted teeth.

Yang Manni stood up from the chair with a bang and pointed her finger at Xia Qingqian's head. "Why didn't you tell me yesterday? Have you grown wings?"

"Didn't I tell you that I was almost kidnapped..." Xia Qingqian said in a low voice.

"Does the fact that you were almost kidnapped have anything to do with President Ji running to the entrance of the set to pick you up in the middle of the night?" Yang Manni asked loudly.

Xia Qingqian nodded desperately, "It does matter... It was because I was almost kidnapped that Mr. Ji came to pick me up."

Yang Manni was so angry that she paused and suddenly changed the subject, asking, "What is your relationship with President Ji?"

Xia Qingqian put down the water cup and said helplessly, "Sister Manni, please stop looking at me like that. President Ji and I really don't have any improper relationship. President Ji really just cares about his employees."

"Really?" Yang Manni asked back.

Why didn't she believe it?

"It's true. It's truer than gold." Xia Qingqian almost raised her hand and swore to the sky.

Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, Yang Manni finally stopped asking.

"Okay, I've found an assistant and a driver for you. They'll pick you up at your apartment tomorrow. I'll give you the assistant's WeChat ID later, and you can contact them yourself."

"Thank you, Sister Manni." Xia Qingqian grinned brightly, stood up and gave Yang Manni a bear hug.

Yang Manni pretended to push her away with disgust, but she didn't forget to tease her, "Don't thank me, thank our 'employee-caring' CEO Ji instead.

This was the first time she had seen Ji Fengfan being so kind-hearted in all these years.

Xia Qingqian thought about whether she should tell Yang Manni that she was temporarily staying at Ji Fengfan's apartment. After hesitating for a while, she decided to confess it in advance. When the assistant driver picked her up, the secret would be exposed.

"Sister Manny, I have something else to tell you..."

Yang Manni sat back in the chair behind her desk, ready to work, lowered her head and asked casually, "What's the matter? Even if you tell me now that you and President Ji really have an affair, I won't be surprised."

Yang Manni said this in a flat tone, which scared Xia Qingqian half to death. She rushed forward and covered Yang Manni's mouth, "Sister Manni, are you trying to scare me to death?"

"You are the one who gives me 'surprises' every day, right?" Yang Manni began to process the files in the computer. She asked while moving the mouse.

"So, what's going on?"
