Ace of the Dragon Division

Chapter 381: I Don’t Have the Courage to Make that Request

“Time to wake up, Big Brother Cheng, let’s go and eat breakfast,” Ye Xiu said.

Xu Cheng got up and went to the washroom. While brushing his teeth and washing up, he asked Ye Xiu who was waiting for him by the door, “Did your grandpa tell you something? Let me tell you, I won’t acknowledge my background.”

Ye Xiu laughed. “Even if you don’t admit it, I still can’t deny it. We are related by blood, so I just need to acknowledge that you are my big brother, or my grandpa will break my legs. Last night, he looked very serious when telling me that, and he didn’t seem to be joking at all. You know, the older generation is very stubborn, and they don’t want us of the younger generation to challenge their words.”

Xu Cheng hung up the towel, looked at Ye Xiu, and said, “Up to you then. I won’t be using the halo that comes with that family name anyways.”

Ye Xiu: “And that’s why I think you are so awesome. If it wasn’t Grandpa who told me you have half of the Ye Family’s bloodline, to be honest, I actually thought you had no background at all. Look at me, in Yanjing, although people respect me as the Young Master Ye, that’s all thanks to my family. If I wasn’t born into this background, I might not even be doing as hot as Bagh. And this is why I admire you, you can get people to respect you without relying on any background, nor do I feel like you need any background.”

Xu Cheng was too lazy to continue this topic. “Alright, let’s go and eat breakfast now.”

– At the Four Seasons Hotel –

Liu Ziqi and Sister Wang ordered some delivery food. When the delivery guy arrived, they also saw another guy standing outside. Seeing that the door opened, that guy immediately came up to them and said, “Mrs. Liu, I’m President Li’s assistant, can we have a word?”

Liu Ziqi thought it was President Li’s people coming over for revenge so she immediately told Sister Wang to grab the food delivery and close the door.

However, when Sister Wang tried to shut the door, that guy wasn’t scared of the pain and immediately shoved his hand in between the door and frame. If he couldn’t get this worked out, his career would also be over, and that was why he was trying super hard here.
“I’m here sincerely to represent President Li to apologize to you. Can I come in?” President Li’s assistant said, “It’s about what happened last night, please believe me.”
Sister Wang just then opened the door. Seeing that no one else was outside, they had him come in since they thought President Li probably wouldn’t send just one guy if he wanted to look for trouble.

After he went in, he placed his hands on his knees and bowed his body 90 degrees as he apologized, “Mrs. Liu, I’m very sorry. President Li’s still being detained right now so it’s not convenient for him to come over and apologize to you himself, so he sent me here to represent him. As for what happened last night, he’s truly sorry. Of course, our apology wouldn’t just be with words. We knew that we might have caused you psychological trauma, so to make up for it, President Li’s willing to gift you this film’s female lead role. We hope you can forgive President Li… We are all in the same circle, so we should look after each other, right?”

Sister Wang and Liu Ziqi were both dumbfounded.

What just happened?

In fact, this was what happened. Last night, that friend of President Qiang, who was the son of some director, thought about it and knew it wouldn’t be a “bro” thing to do if he just pulled himself out of that situation. So, he directly told President Qiang who they offended that night and told him to hurry up and go apologies. Then, it would also be possible that they could use this opportunity to meet Young Master Ye. As an experienced azz-kisser, this was a simple rule of survival that he knew very well. This could be a good opportunity!

So, that guy called President Qiang told him Ye Xiu’s background, and after President Qiang and President Li learned about Ye Xiu’s actual background, they obviously couldn’t fall asleep for the rest of that night.

Not to mention whether the Ye Family would remember them or not, but as people surviving in this society, one must know that they could mess with people, but they must not mess with the hands that fed them. Maybe the Ye Family had better things to do than chase after those two, but they still left a horrible impression! If their paths crossed again in the future, and those big characters remembered and just casually said, “Those two aren’t good people”, then they probably won’t even know how they would die!

So, after thinking about it for the whole night, President Qiang and President Li came to the conclusion that with both of their connections, it would still be impossible for them to deliver their apology to Young Master Ye. So, they could only take another route and target Liu Ziqi.

She probably knew that Xu Cheng guy, and then they could get to Ye Xiu through Xu Cheng, right? Probably. Hope so.

And what could attract Liu Ziqi? She was in the entertainment circle, and what President Li and President Qiang didn’t lack the most were resources in this circle. So, according to what that son of some director said, they must not only look to apologize to Young Master Ye, but also hopefully become acquaintances or even friends with him.

So, President Li’s assistant was sent here overnight, and he directly told him, “If you fack this up, then you can get the fack out of my company and someone will replace you!”

So, the assistant jumped out of bed and directly investigated where Liu Ziqi was staying. Then, to make sure that he wasn’t intruding on anything, he waited outside the door for the whole night and then the rest happened.

Seeing that President Li’s assistant not only came over to apologize but also brought her the lead role of this film, she was indeed overjoyed! She greatly appreciated the company and her senior sister Lin Chuxue, they were able to take care of this all within one night!

However, she still had to do some surface work. After some silence and a slight sigh, she asked indifferently, “This time, is it still as simple as coming over to apologize and giving me the role? Is this another trap or something, waiting for me to step in myself?”

“Oh, no, no, no, my young madam, such things definitely won’t happen again. If you told us earlier who you knew, none of this would’ve happened. You are such a big-hearted person, not even showing your background when entering this industry. President Li already said, from now on, you two are friends, and as friends, he hopes that you could help introduce him to that Mr. Xu.” The assistant said, “If you can get a nod out of him, we can arrange the meal right away, and he can pick whatever time and place he likes!”

Liu Ziqi and Sister Wang looked at each other. Sister Wang pulled Liu Ziqi to the side and asked in a low voice, “The role and film are both not small, the probability of you going mainstream after this is very big! You have to think carefully about this, no one’s asking you to accompany him to drink or anything so don’t make things more difficult already. Your friend helped you once, you should try to seize this opportunity yourself.”
Liu Ziqi frowned and bitterly laughed. “But the thing is, I won’t be able to get into contact with that man… President Li probably knows Instructor Xu’s background, and he’s clearly just wanting to use me as a bridge to get to know Instructor Xu. But I’m not close with Instructor Xu at all, how could I be any help?”

Sister Wang was getting anxious. “Then think of a way!”

Liu Ziqi gritted her teeth. “There’s one person that should be really close to him, but that’s our company’s senior sister Lin Chuxue… You also know that she doesn’t like to get involved in this kind of thing, and she’s always very icy, I don’t have the courage to make that request from her…”
