Sitting in the car, Chi Shuyan realized that after one night, this man was very easy to talk to. She had thought that he wouldn’t allow her to go out or carry out an investigation. She didn’t expect him to send her over without asking anything.
Sitting in the front passenger seat, Chi Shuyan would occasionally glance at the man’s face out of the corner of her eye. Although he still had a straight face, his eyebrows weren’t as cold as usual. They were less sharp and more gentle. He seemed to be in a good mood.
Before she left the house, Mother Qi had asked her if there was anything she needed to talk to her about. She was still confused, until she heard Mother Qi say that something was wrong with Zhenbai today. He had been in a very good mood early in the morning, and had greeted everyone voluntarily, which had overwhelmed Father Qi, Second Uncle Qi, and Third Uncle Qi.
That was especially true of Father Qi. Although the two of them were father and son, perhaps due to their different personalities, as well as the fact that Zhenbai had always grown up by his grandfather’s side, the relationship between the father and son was actually quite aloof. This morning, it was the first time Zhenbai had taken the initiative to call Father Qi “Dad,” and Father Qi had been extremely moved. The father and son even talked a lot in the morning, which made Mother Qi feel extremely gratified.
Chi Shuyan wasn’t sure if the man was in a good mood because of what happened last night. In any case, she still had lingering fears, and really didn’t want to experience it again.
While Chi Shuyan was letting her imagination run wild, she arrived at the set where Zhou Manqing was filming. The set was empty, and normally, other than actors, no one else could enter.
Chi Shuyan thought that she would have to give the other party a call; she didn’t expect the man to drive all the way onto the film set.
She wasn’t interested in acting, but she was still quite curious about a production shoot.
Chi Shuyan thought that the car was low-key and wouldn’t attract any attention. She didn’t expect the director and a bunch of actors to personally come over when the car arrived.
The director had just received a call from the headquarters of Qi Corporation informing him not to seal off the location since President Qi would be coming over for a look. The director had just learned from his assistant that Ninth Master Qi’s car had arrived.
He couldn’t be bothered with filming anymore, and rushed over with the assistant director and the rest.
When he rushed over and saw President Qi get out of the car, the director recognized him. After all, President Qi was their movie’s big investor.
The director’s surname was Li, and he had a high status in the entertainment industry. However, his status was nothing compared with Qi Corporation. While he had a respectful expression on his face, he was also deep in thought. He had some understanding of President Qi’s way of doing things, and this man didn’t like the entertainment industry nor rumors of scandals with any female celebrities.
Was he here because he doubted Director Li’s skills, or was he looking for Manqing?
Ever since Manqing became Qi Corporation’s spokesperson, there had been rumors in the last few years that she was getting very close with the most powerful person in the Qi family. In the past, he didn’t believe it, but now, he couldn’t help but wonder.
Could this person from the Qi family really be here to see Manqing?
However, he soon saw President Qi personally open the door for a young lady. The two of them were quite familiar and intimate with each other, and Director Li quickly threw that thought to the back of his mind.
Director Li went up to him enthusiastically. “President Qi! Why are you here?”
Qi Zhenbai frowned slightly. Director Li knew that this person didn’t like crowds, so he immediately dismissed a lot of people until it was just Director Li and the assistant director left.
Qi Zhenbai looked satisfied.
Chi Shuyan spoke at that moment. “Director Li, may I know if Movie Queen Zhou is here?”
Director Li was stunned for a moment. He hadn’t taken a closer look earlier, but now that he saw the young lady next to President Qi, his eyes lit up. This young lady was really too beautiful. In his line of work, one would sometimes be moved by good seedlings.
Qi Zhenbai instinctively blocked his wife. His gaze was sharp, and Director Li didn’t dare look anymore. He quickly got the assistant director to contact Manqing while he brought them inside.
