“Thank you, Sister Ye.”
“You should call me auntie.” Ye Shengge corrected him and smiled at Ling Yutong. “Take your time. I’ll head over first. See you on set tomorrow.”
“Okay.” Ling Yutong waved at her and watched her leave.
Ye Shengge didn’t look at Ji Shiting again.
“Um…” Ling Yutong looked at the man opposite him.
Ji Shiting pursed his lips and stared at Ye Shengge’s back as if he wanted to burn a hole in her.
…
Shang Tianyi and Lin Qi had already taken their food and were waiting for her on the other side of the restaurant.
Ye Shengge walked over with a calm expression and light footsteps. She couldn’t help smiling when she saw both of them looking shocked. “What happened?”
“Sister Shengge, how dare you talk to that woman? She’s your rival in love!”
“I thought you were going to snatch Mr. Ji away.” Shang Tianyi couldn’t have been more disappointed. “Yet you greeted him as if nothing had happened. What were you thinking?”
“Isn’t it normal to greet someone you know?” Ye Shengge dragged out a chair and sat down. “Are you pretending not to see him?”
Lin Qi couldn’t help asking, “Sister Shengge, don’t you love Mr. Ji anymore?”
Ye Shengge’s calm face finally cracked, and her eyelashes fluttered.
She tried to ignore the bitterness in her heart and smiled, “Perhaps. Please eat.”
She then started to cut the food on the plate.
The other two didn’t speak for a long time. After a while, Lin Qi sighed and said, “Mr. Ji left.”
Ye Shengge clenched her fork and knife.
After dinner, Ye Shengge returned to her room, and Shang Tianyi and Lin Qi stayed in her room.
Since there was no hope of relying on Ji Shiting anymore, he could only rely on his own efforts. Thus, Shang Tianyi and Ye Shengge reviewed the recent achievements of the studio.
“Actually, it’s not bad,” Shang Tianyi couldn’t help saying. “After ‘Xue Ning’ exploded with popularity, all kinds of scripts have been sent to the company, but they’re all for you. After you finish filming, take some time to take a look. There will be some roles that we can recommend to other artists in the company. By the way, after you return to China, you have to participate in some promotional activities or interview programs. It’ll be counterproductive if this drags on.”
Ye Shengge nodded and said, “I understand. You can arrange my schedule starting next week.”
“Very good.” Shang Tianyi was satisfied. “Li Yinian is very popular now, but her voice has spread through the streets and alleys. People can keep a low profile and reduce their exposure so that the audience can be curious about her.”
“You have a thing for hunger marketing,” Ye Shengge said.
“Actually, it’s mainly because we don’t have enough manpower,” Shang Tianyi said sincerely.
Lin Qi couldn’t help chuckling.
Someone knocked on the door.
Lin Qi ran to open the door and exclaimed, “Mr. Ji?”
Ye Shengge froze, and Shang Tianyi was stunned.
Lin Qi then moved aside and Ji Shiting walked in. He had taken off his jacket, and his collar was messy. He had rolled up his sleeves, revealing his muscular arms.
