Assistant Zhang Tian spoke with a lingering fear, as he was a little scared of the woman’s gaze. Although he was a man and should not be so timid, but Li Piao’s gaze was too sinister. He couldn’t help but be startled when he suddenly saw it.

“What happened?”

Upon hearing Zhang Tian’s words, Lin Ze’s expression immediately became serious. He had been delayed by something and when he arrived on set, the filming had already begun.

The scene progressed so quickly that Lin Ze did not expect there to be any twists and turns.

“It’s like this…”

Assistant Zhang Tian explained everything he saw. After hearing the whole story, Lin Ze’s face immediately darkened.

He had heard some gossip earlier and thought it was just a rumor spread by everyone, but he did not expect it to be true. This was not a rumor, it was a fact. Thinking of this, Lin Ze’s expression was extremely angry.

“Wanwan, don’t be alone for the future filming. Whether it’s me or Zhang Tian, there must always be one of us by your side. Li Piao is not an easy person to get along with.”

Lin Ze’s expression was very serious, as he was worried that Shen Wanwan would not take this matter to heart. He then told her about the rumors he had heard.

“I heard that Li Piao had her eyes on the female lead role. In order to get the role of the female lead, she used her connections everywhere and even had some dealings with investors. Li Piao’s reputation in the industry is not very good.”

Lin Ze’s expression was extremely serious. He was not afraid of an open confrontation, but he was most afraid of being attacked from behind. After all, this kind of person often caused trouble in secret.

He wasn’t omnipotent and couldn’t stay by Shen Wanwan’s side all day. There would always be times when he was negligent, and it was easy for someone to take advantage of him.

“I understand, Brother Lin,” Shen Wanwan nodded obediently in response to her manager’s serious expression. She didn’t like Li Piao that much.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Li Piao was a senior, as a junior, she couldn’t be lacking in etiquette towards a senior. Otherwise, she might be criticized, she wouldn’t even want to bother with the other party.

Shen Wanwan knew that Li Piao wanted to outperform her with her acting skills today, but when their eyes met, she refused to back down.

The moment Li Piao met her gaze, she forgot her lines. Shen Wanwan almost laughed out loud. She was not a pushover and could not be easily manipulated.

Seeing that Shen Wanwan took his words to mind, Lin Ze heaved a sigh of relief. After giving Shen Wanwan a few simple instructions, the car had already arrived at the hotel.

Accompanied by Lin Ze and Zhang Tian, Shen Wanwan returned to her hotel room. The food that Lin Ze bought was placed on the table, and the starving Shen Wanwan began to eat.

Compared to the harmonious atmosphere on Shen Wanwan’s side, Ji Jinxian was a little depressed. When he woke up this morning, he realized that the video call had been hung up.

Looking at the video call that had been hung up, Ji Jinxian wanted to call back. However, when he thought about how Shen Wanwan might become arrogant, Ji Jinxian held back his desire to call back.

No, he absolutely could not appear too anxious now, otherwise, he would lose!

He was the one who proposed the one-year agreement first. He couldn’t be the one to break the agreement first. If he did it, he would be shameless.

Absolutely cannot. He was the CEO of Ji Group. Did he not care about his reputation?

He had to wait for Shen Wanwan, the coquettish girl, to contact him. She liked him so much that she would call him back soon.

He just had to wait for her call. At that time, he could look at his coquettish girl to ease his longing, and at the same time, he could protect his reputation as a CEO.

It was like killing two birds with one stone!

Ji Jinxian was lost in his thoughts. After washing up, he went to the office. When he arrived, there was only a small mountain of documents waiting for him. While he was dealing with the documents, Ji Jinxian would occasionally look up, waiting for Shen Wanwan’s call.

However, he waited for a long time, but no one called. Looking at the black screen on his phone, Ji Jinxian’s face turned dark.

However, he could not take the initiative to call his spoiled girl. He could only repeatedly turn his phone on and off.

Finally, Ji Jinxian grew impatient. He turned off his phone and threw it to the side. He picked up his pen and started working seriously.

Immersed in his work, he blocked out the outside world. When he finished processing the last document, the sky outside the window was already dark.

Ji Jinxian put down his pen and hesitantly turned on his phone. Looking at the startup screen, he guessed in his heart.

The spoiled girl must have called him many times. Seeing that he didn’t answer the call, she would send him a voice message and ask him softly what he had done.

As Ji Jinxian thought about this, a smile formed at the corner of his mouth. He was in a good mood as he waited for the boot page to pass. However, when he saw his phone screen jump back to the wallpaper page, his smile froze.

There was nothing on the screen!

Not even a phone call or a text message to greet him. Ji Jinxian’s face turned completely black.

Could there be something wrong with his phone?

Ji Jinxian couldn’t help but feel suspicious, but before he could check his phone, his assistant’s message popped up.

“President, you have a dinner party with President Li of Shanghui Group tonight at…”

Looking at his assistant’s message, Ji Jinxian’s face turned even darker. He realized that he had been foolishly thinking too much of himself just now and laughed out of anger.

So, everything that had happened just now was his own imagination!

Shen Wanwan was something else. She went to film overseas and didn’t even bother to give him a call or a message.

Although she was acting coquettishly to him through the screen last night, but today…

The more Ji Jinxian thought about it, the worse his expression became. He locked his phone and stood up, then quickly left the office.

As soon as he stepped out of the office, he ran into his assistant. The assistant, who had been in a good mood, immediately stopped smiling when he saw Ji Jinxian’s black face.

“President.”

The assistant politely greeted him, but also keenly sensed that Ji Jinxian was in a very bad mood. The assistant thought about how he would be getting his salary in two days so he didn’t want to upset the CEO.

He didn’t want to risk having his salary deducted at such a critical time. That would not feel good at all.

“Yes,” Ji Jinxian nodded coldly, then walked past his assistant and quickly got into the elevator. The assistant was stunned by this sudden change in behavior.

Who could have angered their CEO so much?

The assistant couldn’t understand, but he didn’t want to disturb Ji Jinxian either, especially not when his bonus was on the line.

Ji Jinxian drove straight home after leaving the office. As soon as he arrived at his dark house, he fell silent.

Before getting married, he didn’t think much of living in a place like this. He had even enjoyed the freedom of being alone.

Now, however, he realized that this cold and lifeless house lacked any human touch. He inexplicably missed Shen Wanwan, who happened to be abroad at the time.

He missed her so much, he missed her sweet voice calling him hubby and missed her soft coquettishness that was reserved only for him.
