Zhou Wang was stunned, his face became shadowy under the light.
He didn’t answer Ji Xiaoxi, only recalled the options of "Angel and Demon."
After a moment, Zhou Wang picked up the scattered JK skirt and white shirt beside him, first helping the girl fasten her bra, then carefully dressing her.
Xiaoxi felt some resistance, but ultimately did not reject Zhou Wang.
"You tidy up first before coming out, I’ll go back to the private room."
Zhou Wang said a sentence, while Xiaoxi, who was still hugging her own arms, did not respond.
Zhou Wang finally tidied the crumpled collar that Xiaoxi had pulled, then opened the locked door and walked out.
When Zhou Wang returned to the private room, Chen He, who had come back first, was holding his phone, pacing around the room in agitation.
Seeing Zhou Wang, Chen He first breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly approached and asked, "Mr. Zhou, have you seen Xiaoxi? I’ve been calling her but no one answers, she said she was going to the bathroom, but it’s been so long..."
"She’s fine, just sit down."
Zhou Wang smiled at Chen He, then pulled out a chair for him.
Chen He was momentarily puzzled, not quite understanding Zhou Wang’s intent, but flattered, he sat down accordingly.
Zhou Wang also sat down, then picked up the cigarettes on the table, took one for himself, and offered one to Chen He.
"Mr. Zhou, I don’t..."
"Go ahead, you don’t need to pretend in front of me, I can tell you haven’t quit smoking."
Zhou Wang just smiled.
Although unclear on how Zhou Wang figured it out, Chen He, who had just finished that particular business, naturally wanted a cigarette as well.
After hesitating for a moment, he accepted the cigarette, then quickly grabbed the lighter from the table, lighting Zhou Wang’s first, then his own.
Zhou Wang took a deep drag, leaned back in his chair, and as he exhaled the smoke comfortably, his face also became obscure.
"Chen He, do you really want to be in a TV show?"
"Ah... Yes, of course I do!"
Chen He wanted to ask what Zhou Wang meant by "Xiaoxi is fine," but upon hearing this sentence, he couldn’t bother with concern over Xiaoxi anymore. He instantly sat up straight, looking at Zhou Wang with bright eyes.
"Alright, I’ll ask around, if the male second or third role in ’Chu Tianyao’ season two is available, I’ll recommend you."
Zhou Wang nodded and said.
Chen He was dazed for a moment, then was overwhelmed by immense surprise, even doubting if he heard it correctly.
Zhou Wang... was going to recommend him for ’Chu Tianyao’?
Even mentioning "male second or third," meaning the male second was possible?
Chen He treated Zhou Wang to dinner today precisely for this matter, though he hadn’t figured out how to broach it. Who knew Zhou Wang would bring it up himself!
Moreover, the process was even more magical than he imagined, he hadn’t even done anything yet!
"Of course, I have a small request."
"Ah, Mr. Zhou, please go ahead!"
Still in a daze, Chen He came back to his senses, feeling it was normal. He thought, Zhou Wang wasn’t his dad, why would he treat him well for no reason...
He just didn’t know what Zhou Wang wanted from him, feeling somewhat uneasy as he thought he hardly had any leverage to appeal to Zhou Wang.
"The past doesn’t matter, but from now on, Ji Xiaoxi... you can’t touch her, not even a finger."
Zhou Wang, without any hesitation, softly stated his "small request."
Chen He initially wondered if he was hearing things, but upon confirming it was not his imagination, he was dumbfounded.
No, what right do you have!
Xiaoxi was his girlfriend!
He knew Zhou Wang might like Ji Xiaoxi, of course, any normal man with aesthetic sense would have feelings for such a beauty...
Based on this, Chen He had the idea of leveraging Ji Xiaoxi to get close to Zhou Wang.
But, liking is one thing, subtly knowing it without stating the obvious would suffice. Presenting it so overtly, and making requests from him, was really treating him like someone beneath!
"Mr. Zhou, I don’t quite understand what you mean..."
Despite everything, Chen He managed to squeeze out a smile.
"No, you understand perfectly what I mean."
Zhou Wang smiled, sitting up straight, his sharp gaze piercing through the smoke, staring at Chen He.
"If you can do it, even if you don’t get to act in ’Chu Tianyao’ season two, I can guarantee your future... Conversely, if you can’t agree, I assure you, not only will the entertainment industry not welcome you, but you can also say goodbye to the modeling scene."
Chen He’s face flushed with anger, with a sense of indignation rising within.
Even though that night, he was the one who sent Ji Xiaoxi into Zhou Wang’s room, what normal man could endure such humiliation?
But, Chen He found he had no courage to flip the table on Zhou Wang, clenching his fists, yet unable to vent.
"Stop pretending, someone like you, with no boundaries, would never have sold himself to that Sister Yan otherwise. Don’t tell me it’s love between you and Ji Xiaoxi, we’re all men, who doesn’t understand?"
To Chen He’s indignation, Zhou Wang was indifferent, merely offering a faint sneer.
"You... you know Sister Yan?"
Chen He was slightly shocked.
"What I know, far exceeds what you can imagine."
"Mr. Zhou, you had someone investigate me?"
Both shocked and angry, Chen He stood up furiously, then recalled something, his expression changing, "You... you didn’t already tell Xiaoxi, did you?"
