Chapter 288 - 288 Troublemakers! (2/2)

She only cared about the top ten richest people.

Pei Xi took a plate of dessert. “I’ve heard about this as well, but they are very tight-lipped. By the way, ‘Tonight’s Warmth’ is also aired on Lychee TV. Don’t you have a friend doing an internship there? You can ask her.”

Su Ji nodded and found her sweetheart, Dong Xiyou, on WeChat. Her profile picture was a grapefruit.

Then, the WeChat name was also “A grapefruit”.

She typed a short message and sent it over, and a reply came after ten minutes.

[ A grapefruit: “I’m sorry, I just had a meeting.” ]

[ A grapefruit: “I asked Director Liang about the guest, but he only said this…” ]

[ A grapefruit: “Don’t ask. She has a big backer behind her. ]

Dong Xiyou followed up with a crying emoji with its hands outstretched.

She felt that she had not helped much.

Su Ji simply replied with a kissing emoji.

Although Dong Xiyou didn’t know who that person was, Su Ji was now even more interested…

Later, before they left the Pei family house after dinner, Su Ji left a pack of cigarettes for Pei Xi, “help me pass this on to Pei Song.”

Pei Xi looked at the cigarette and then at Su Ji, “what’s this?”

Su Ji replied, “it’s a new product. Ask him to help me try it. It’s good for the body.”

Xu Ni had been smoking for four or five years, but Pei Song was definitely a hardcore smoker.

Su Ji was a perfectionist.

The next day, Su Ji spent half a day with the crew and half a day at Blue Whale.

There was one last thing left to do for the commercial. There would be a short rap in the commercial in the later stage. They had received a nice piece of music, and it was Ke Tou who recorded it. He wanted Su Ji, who was the spokesperson, to sing that part with the others.

It was just a short segment, so it was not difficult. Usually, one afternoon should be enough time, so Pei Xi helped Su Ji apply for a leave of absence from the crew.

It was a good plan, but the filming in the morning had been delayed, so Su Ji only arrived at Blue Whale at three in the afternoon.

Su Ji and Pei Xi saw Ke Tou outside.

“I’m sorry I’m late.”

“You’re finally here,” Ke Tou had just come out of the room with an anxious look on his face.

“We came as soon as we finished. Su Ji didn’t even have time to change out of her costume.” Pei Xi was swift and decisive. “Let’s go to the recording studio now. There’s still time. She has a job tomorrow and the day after, so she’s only free this afternoon.”

“But…” Ke Tou looked at Su Ji who was wearing a white t-shirt and sweatpants. He looked even more embarrassed, “there is a problem with the two male rappers…”

“Pei Xi and Su Ji looked at each other, “what problem?”

Ke Tou found it hard to speak up. After all, he was the one who selected them.

He hesitated for a long time before saying, “it’s just…emotional issues…”

The lounge in Blue Whale was specially made for the actors and staff to relax.

It was Su Ji’s first time there.

It was very spacious inside.

There was a large indoor basketball court that was brightly lit, and the sound of shoes rubbing against the plastic floor could be heard from time to time.

At 3 o’clock in the afternoon, there were not many people in the basketball court. The seats were empty. There were only two boys in black t-shirts playing in the court. They were playing intensely, and their t-shirts were soaked with sweat. The two of them lifted their clothes to wipe their sweat, and their big gold chains were shining.

Ke Tou pointed at the two of them, “it’s just the two of them. They arrived at 1 o’clock. When they heard that you weren’t here yet, they were so upset. After waiting for an hour, they asked me who the spokesperson was. I said ‘Su Ji’, thinking that it would be easier if they were her fans…but after hearing that they came straight to the basketball court and played until now!”

“I came to call them just now and told them that you’d be here soon. But this time, they said that they had no inspiration and couldn’t sing. I asked them when they could do it, and they said after they’re done with this…”

Pei Xi had been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and she had never seen a newcomer who would put on such a show. She lost her temper and said, “this is such a small matter. Where did you find such troublemakers?”

Ke Tou was also in a difficult position, but when Su Ji saw the face of one of the two boys, she smiled.

She knew where he found them.

The one with a height of 1.8 meters, wearing a gold chain, and a black t-shirt was…Tong Le.
