Chapter 378: Let’s Talk This Out, Don’t Just Use the Kitchen so Liberally

After bringing Liu Ziqi and her agent out of that restaurant, Xu Cheng had them go their own way.

On Ye Xiu’s car, he asked Xu Cheng, “Got no place to sleep, right?”

Xu Cheng: “Yeah, don’t worry, I will just stay at a hotel.”

“What hotel?! You came to Yanjing and you are just going to stay at a hotel? Are you looking down on me? No need to say anymore, buckle up, we are going to my house,” Ye Xiu said as he started his car and drove towards his house.

On the other side of the road, Sister Wang and Liu Ziqi were waiting for a taxi while feeling anxious.

“I told you, wouldn’t it be all fine if you just apologized? Look at it now, they are gone, but if President Li and President Qiang can’t find them, they would obviously come to you to vent their anger. You don’t have any background, how are you going to fight against them?”

Liu Ziqi lowered her head said, “If I compromise and apologize, then that fat guy would definitely make it more difficult for me… Sister Wang, please don’t blame me, you know what kind of person this guy was, yet you still brought me here? You were clearly throwing me into a pit!”

Sister Wang: “I’m your agent, how could I stand idly by as I watch you stay in this industry for two years and not be able to achieve anything? After you made your big debut with that ‘True Men’ Reality Show, have you gotten any roles in big films? You have a pretty good appearance, and if you listen to my words, I promise you, it will be difficult to not become popular! President Li is one of those rich guys in the Yanjing entertainment circle that loves to throw money at movies. Every year, which movie that he participated in didn’t have a production value in the hundreds of millions? If you get on his good side, with his capabilities, you will definitely go mainstream! You should also think in my shoes too, maybe you can wait for longer, but if I don’t figure something out, I will starve to death because my pay is also associated with how well you do!”

Liu Ziqi: “You know that the reason I went to Sister Chuxue and joined her company was that the company respects its celebrities and wouldn’t force us to do anything.”

Sister Wang: “I’m not forcing you, I was just getting a bit nervous… When I saw you leaving the room earlier, I thought you went to the bathroom. But when I saw that fat guy go after you, I wanted to follow too but was blocked by his assistant, who asked me to drink more with him…”

Liu Ziqi sighed. “Then what should we do? If you want to give up on me, you can just tell the company, and you can go and take care of other celebrities. After all, I’m probably going onto the black list.”

Sister Wang sighed. “Let’s get out of here first, and then we will call the company and ask.”

The two of them didn’t have any designated driving arrangement in Yanjing, so they could only get a taxi. In the car, Sister Wang called the big boss at the company and told her everything, and the boss directly scolded Sister Wang. Her meaning was that if the celebrity wasn’t willing to do this kind of thing, then she shouldn’t have arranged something like this to begin with, or else they would only offend people.

Sister Wang bitterly smiled and said, “We’ve already offended them now, it’s too late to say that. Boss… Is there anything I can do? How about I go alone and apologize to President Li?”

“I would be surprised if he’s happy with an old auntie like you going.” The boss didn’t know whether she should laugh or cry. “Wait a second, who did you say was also at the scene? Who was the one that helped Ziqi?”

Sister Wang: “Xu Cheng, I heard he call himself Xu Cheng.”

The boss immediately said, “Is it that the Instructor Xu or something that filmed with Ziqi and Chuxue for that reality show?”

Sister Wang: “Yeah, it’s him! I was originally wondering how he knew Ziqi and why he stood up for her.”

The boss of the company said, “Alright, I know about this now. He’s not standing up for Ziqi but he was doing Chuxue a favor. Alright, I will think about what to do next, and I will give you guys a call later. Look after Ziqi, we don’t have many connections over there, so don’t run around for the next little while.”

After hanging up, the boss gave Lin Chuxue a call.

She was in the middle of shooting a new MV and was getting her makeup ready for the shoot. Her new assistant came over and brought her the phone.

“Hello?”

“Chuxue, I need to talk to you about something.”

“Sure.” Lin Chuxue nodded.

“So here’s the situation.” Then, the boss told Lin Chuxue what Liu Ziqi encountered at Yanjing. Then, she asked her, “In this kind of situation, should we make an appearance and apologize to that President Li?”

Lin Chuxue chuckled. “It’s fine, don’t worry about this thing anymore. That President Li for sure won’t be looking for trouble with us. I believe in my man, if he has the confidence to offend someone, then he has the confidence to wrestle with them if they fight back.”

The boss was still a bit skeptical. “Now that we are back on this topic, what is really the background of this man? He seems to have his ways in the entertainment circle…” 

Lin Chuxue smiled. “No background, he’s just an ordinary man. Alright, I’m going to resume the shoot now, I will hang up for now. Give Ziqi a call, tell her that no one will force her to do anything if she’s not willing. Tell her to rest assured.”

Then, Lin Chuxue hung up the phone and then gave Xu Cheng a call.

Xu Cheng was chilling in Ye Xiu’s Range Rover, and seeing the video-chat request, a smile appeared on his face.

“Honey.”

“Why didn’t you tell me that you went to Yanjing?” Lin Chuxue snorted.

“I’m here for a ceremony, and I might stay here for a little while. How did you know that I’m in Yanjing?” Xu Cheng was pretty curious.

“You were the hero that rescued the beauty. If I still didn’t find out, wouldn’t I be an incompetent wife?” Lin Chuxue’s tone carried a hint of danger.

Xu Cheng immediately awkwardly explained, “It was all a misunderstanding, Honey! My heart is 1000% dedicated to you! Heaven is my witness, if you say left, I definitely wouldn’t say right! I didn’t have any other motive when I helped her out, I was purely doing it out of the kindness of my heart and also as a favor for you. Right now I’m in a car. If I lie, I will die right away from a car crash!”

Driver Ye Xiu: “…”

“Knock on wood right now!” Lin Chuxue interrupted Xu Cheng and said, “What nonsense are you saying! How can I be so petty? But in all seriousness though, will Ziqi be fine?”

“Of course!” Xu Cheng was confident. “These are just some guys that have some money and connections in the entertainment circle. Outside of this circle, they are nothing. Don’t worry, I can handle them.”

Lin Chuxue nodded. “Alright then, let me know if you can’t handle it anymore. Worst comes to worst, we will just run away.”

Xu Cheng was touched. “What more can I ask for in life, with you as my wife…”

Ye Xiu wanted to vomit.

Lin Chuxue nodded. “Alright, remember to come back early. I will make you a delicious meal, it will still be the familiar coordination and taste from last time.”

Xu Cheng wanted to cry. “Honey… We can talk this out, there’s no need to use the kitchen so liberally…”

On the other end, Chuxue chuckled and hung up.

Ye Xiu turned to look at Xu Cheng. “Your wife’s checking up on you?”

“Of course not, she just misses me.” Xu Cheng snorted and said, “She knew about me saving a beauty and she was praising me. She told me she will cook me a great meal when I get home.”

Ye Xiu looked at Xu Cheng with a face full of envy and admiration. “Old Xu, you are really the winner in life! You have such a beautiful wife at home, and she’s even willing to cook for you when you get back. Damn, so jealous of you!”

Xu Cheng turned his bitter face to the window and thought, It was a meal of darkness, a memory that I’m trying to wipe away.
