The script was a secret, and Song Heng should have stopped her from taking it.
However, Su Ji’s words made Song Heng’s brain freeze.
She said she was here for a meeting, and then she reached for the script…
In those few seconds of hesitation, Su Ji took the script and flicked it with her slender fingers. She spoke again to the people in front of her who didn’t seem to understand her words, “I’m here for ‘The Billion Stars’. I am the second female lead.”
Song Heng’s mind collapsed.
Su Qianrou’s mind went blank.
Zhou Xuefang finally looked away from the script in her hand and looked at Su Ji in a daze.
The office was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. The three of them obviously did not understand what Su Ji was saying.
They heard her, but they did not understand.
Without Ren Guanghua, no one could confirm her words.
What was even more shocking was that Pei Xi, who had been maintaining her cool and aloof image, lost all her haughtiness when she saw Su Ji. Her eyes lit up immediately!
She walked over with her phone, the camera still flashing, “Bill, look! This is the celebrity I’m managing! She’s a hundred times prettier in real life than in the video!”
Su Ji was speechless.
On the screen, there was a foreign man with a luxuriant beard, golden hair, and blue eyes. His hair was messy, and his upper body was naked, but he had a good figure.
Due to the time difference, it was night time at Bill’s place. He was woken up by his wife for a video call.
Pei Xi realized that she was too excited and quickly turned off the camera. “I’m sorry. Bill, my husband, doesn’t like to wear clothes when he sleeps.”
The three of them were about to question Su Ji, but Pei Xi had already verified it for her.
Su Ji was the second female lead. She was the Ms. Su whom CEO Pei admired and supported with all his might.
And Pei Xi would become her manager!
As soon as Si Jingchuan saw Su Ji, he immediately felt assured.
“No way? Boss, you’re the second female lead in this movie? That’s great, we’ll be able to see each other more often in the next few months!”
Su Ji smiled, “what a coincidence. It turns out that we’re busy with the same script.”
The Best Actor called Su Ji “boss”…
Zhou Xuefang staggered backward. She raised her hand to her forehead and barely managed to stabilize herself.
The blow was too great and too fierce.
She was feeling dizzy and nauseated.
“I’m sorry, I’m really not feeling well today. I’ll take the script and practice on my own.”
Zhou Xuefang did not even dare to look at Su Ji as she stormed out of the room.
Pei Xi put her arm around Su Ji, feeling much more at ease. She looked at the others and introduced her, “she’s Su Ji, the second female lead. Although her role is internally decided, the company has evaluated her popularity and potential. She has met all the requirements. Everyone will also be able to see her acting skills in the upcoming MV. Someone that CEO Pei admires must be capable.”
With just a few words, no one dared to question Su Ji.
Si Jingchuan, who was in the MV, responded, “her acting is indeed very good, I’ve seen it before.”
Pei Xi said seriously, “by the way, let me formally introduce myself. I am Pei Xi. From today onwards, I will be Su Ji’s manager. I will take over all work related to Su Ji.”
Su Ji looked at the beautiful woman beside her.
Her last name was also Pei…
Pei Xi’s attitude towards her was very gentle. She gave her a look. “I’m Pei Huai’s sister, just call me by my name.”
“Okay, Pei Xi,” Su Ji said politely.
The Pei family were all warm-hearted people!

Ren Guanghua was still feeling worried, so he passed by the window to take a peek.
As the director, Song Heng had to explain the relationships between the characters to the actors.
However, after seeing Su Ji, he was still in a daze. He was not in the right state of mind during the meeting and often forgot what he wanted to say, which made Si Jingchuan frown.
Ren Guanghua shook his head and left.
Su Qianrou stared at her script in a daze.
In the first scene of Act 1, she had to hold an umbrella for the second female lead and poured tea for her.
In the third scene of Act 2, the second female lead was being scolded by her stepmother and was about to be slapped. She took the slap on her behalf.
In the seventh scene of Act 5, the second female lead was chased by debt collectors. She was responsible for luring the debt collectors away, but she was beaten up.
Su Qianrou’s face was indescribably dark, “….”
Finally, the uncomfortable meeting ended. A group of people walked out of the meeting room. When Pei Xi passed by Song Heng, she reminded him, “don’t forget what you promised me.”
Song Heng stopped in his tracks.
He finally knew why he had been so absent-minded the entire meeting.
Su Ji, who he thought was dull and boring and had no future, had changed.
Back then, he had ruthlessly broken up with her, but now…

When Si Jingchuan came out of the building, he was humming a little tune in a good mood.
A white Bentley drove over from the parking lot and stopped in front of him. Fu Xiaofeng got out of the front passenger seat and opened the back door for him.
“Why are you so happy?”
Si Jingchuan coughed twice. It was just autumn, so he put on a thick woolen coat. “Guess who’s the second female lead?”
“Who?” Fu Xiaofeng asked, “Maria Ozawa?”
Si Jingchuan chuckled, “it’s Su Ji!”
“Su…”
However, SI Jingchuan didn’t give him any time to react. He got into the car and closed the door. “Bring me home, I’m going to see the poor son my dad gave me.”
The chauffeur was used to the way he spoke and didn’t dare to laugh. He said seriously, “yes, Young Master Si.”
The car drove all the way to the north.
It was thousands of miles away from the Pei family’s residence, as if they purposely wanted to avoid them.
Most of the people living near the Pei family’s residence were high-ranking officials and nobles, so the Si family had to stay far away from them.
It was said that the Si residence was worth hundreds of millions.
At the door stood a few people dressed in martial arts uniforms. They were his father’s apprentices. They often hung out near their house so that they could take his father’s orders at any time.
There were wooden stakes, sandbags, and dummy targets in the courtyard. When they saw Si Jingchuan, they addressed him as “Young Master Si” respectfully.
“Where’s my dad?” Si Jingchuan asked.
“He is in the living room.”
Si Jingchuan nodded.
On the way there, Si Jingchuan heard his father’s rough and intimidating voice, “what? Old Master Pei added someone to my son’s show? She’s the future wife of his third grandson? Then I can’t let him have his way!”
