However, what Hsieh Shih-chi didn't expect was that tonight's dinner party was really different. Actually, she had thought about the possible bad influence and consequences, but when she thought about Young Master Fan's character, Hsieh Shih-chi couldn't help clenching her teeth. Therefore, she hoped that I could teach Young Master Fan a lesson, even if the possibility was slim.
However, after the video call with Young Master Fan, she realized that she was wrong, extremely wrong. That rich and powerful Young Master Fan was just like a pug in front of me. At that time, Hsieh Shih-chi couldn't calm herself down for a long time. If it wasn't for her good self-control, she would have rushed forward and kicked him twice.
This sudden situation made Hsieh Shih-chi a little worried. If she couldn't settle this matter, not only would her reputation be damaged, she would also have to pay compensation for the breach of contract. Her salary was thirty million, according to the contract, it was three times the compensation, so it would be ninety million. Currently, Hsieh Shih-chi couldn't even take out nine million at once, let alone ninety million.
"There's nothing to say. He reaped what he sowed."
Hsieh Shih-chi was inexplicably annoyed. According to elder sister Ran's character, she would most likely ask her to apologize to Young Master Fan. She couldn't stand being wronged.
"Alright, alright. I'll book the tickets now. See you later." elder sister Ran didn't want to force Hsieh Shih-chi. Some things were better said face to face.
Hsieh Shih-chi hastily hung up the phone. Before she could say anything, I spoke first.
"It's okay. If you want to terminate the contract, then terminate it. How much money do you want? I'll give it to you."
I shrugged my shoulders. It seemed that Young Master Fan couldn't swallow this resentment. Actually, I could go to the Fan family to settle the debt, but I didn't want to let this matter continue to ferment. It wouldn't be good for Hsieh Shih-chi's reputation. Moreover, Young Master Fan was only exercising his authority. It wasn't good for me to interfere.
"There's no need. The filming hasn't started yet. Moreover, it's because of him. There won't be any compensation."
Hsieh Shih-chi shook her head and revealed a faint smile. "Speaking of which, I have to thank you. I've been busy for almost a year without any rest. If this new drama were to start filming, it would take at least two to three months. This means that I won't be able to go home to accompany my parents during Chinese New Year. It's better now. Ever since I became famous, I haven't had more than two days of vacation. It's time for me to rest."
"Is that so …" I suddenly understood. From her face, I could see a longing expression. It was understandable. Because of her fame, no matter if it was Hsieh Shih-chi herself or the company behind her, they all wanted to strike while the iron was hot. However, it was hard for Hsieh Shih-chi to take part in all kinds of programs and interviews. After all, she treated every job seriously and tried her best to maintain her initial enthusiasm.
Those business tycoons were happy, but Hsieh Shih-chi was exhausted. Every time she laid on the bed, she would fall asleep within a few minutes. Moreover, this method was the opposite of her original intention. She only cared about accumulating popularity and neglected to improve her personal qualities.
"En. Boss Xiao Zhuang, thank you for your consideration. It's my fortune to be able to meet a boss like you."
Hsieh Shih-chi smiled again and revealed a touch of tenderness. Actually, Hsieh Shih-chi was indeed short of money, but she was too embarrassed to ask me. From her point of view, although the black mud mask was very popular, it required a large amount of investment. If she asked me and I couldn't afford it, then everyone would be in an awkward situation. So, after a short moment of hesitation, Hsieh Shih-chi made the decision to borrow money from other friends. She couldn't possibly lower her face and apologize to them. With Young Master Fan's temper, he would definitely humiliate her.
"Ugh … I'm embarrassed by your praise," I scratched my head.
"Che, your skin is so thick that it can even block bullets. How can you be embarrassed?" Hsieh Shih-chi rolled her eyes and rebuked me.
"I haven't tried this yet. Next time, if there's a guy who doesn't have eyes, then I can try it out," I winked and said.
"Don't, don't, what are you thinking about with that head of yours. As the saying goes, people make mistakes and horses stumble. If something happens, it won't be a joke," Hsieh Shih-chi knitted her eyebrows and said in a reproachful tone.
"Aiya, thank you for our Little Flower's concern," I winked and said.
"Who cares about you. Don't think too much. I'm just worried that if something happens to you, no one will be able to create more good news for women in the future."
Hsieh Shih-chi couldn't help but reach out her hand and pinch my thigh. That strength that wasn't too light or too heavy made my heart itch. Moreover, Hsieh Shih-chi was sitting very close to me. That faint fragrance entered my nose. It smelled really good.
If we were in a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship, I would definitely hold her in my arms and take a good sniff.
"Cough cough, you sound like I'm a video game toy," I felt a bit awkward.
Hsieh Shih-chi only momentarily blanked, then immediately reacted and blushed mischievously.
"Pervert."
With that, she pinched my thigh again, causing me to grimace. Tang Mengyun saw this flirting behavior. She felt a bit annoyed, so she took out her phone and entered the live app. She didn't receive any private messages from that nouveau riche. Is there a need to be so sad? Tang Mengyun was depressed, so she took the initiative to send a message.
"Nouveau riche gege, remember to give me your WeChat, it'll be easier for us to communicate and have an 'in-depth' conversation."
I have to say, Tang Mengyun was really dirty. She purposely marked the word 'in-depth', as long as it's not a three year old child, they should be able to understand the hidden meaning.
Since Hsieh Shih-chi and Tang Mengyun were staying in the same hotel, and it wasn't in the same direction as me, the driver sent me back first. When I got off the car, I specifically told Hsieh Shih-chi.
"Little Chi-Chi, remember, no matter what difficulties you have, just look for me, don't treat me like an outsider."
"Okay, thank you."
Although it was a cold winter night, my words made Hsieh Shih-chi feel warm. Because she had seen the dark side of the entertainment circle, Hsieh Shih-chi treasured my kindness to her even more. Although the people she interacted with were all high class people, from Hsieh Shih-chi's point of view, it was only because of their self-proclaimed high class. Sometimes, for the sake of benefits, they would do some incomprehensible things.
Everyone was like a piece of cloth soaked in a huge dye vat. To maintain the original color was a great challenge in itself. Hsieh Shih-chi had always missed it. When she was in school, she was surrounded by pure and innocent classmates. A lot of things were simple.
