Master Pei's Wife is a Devil Concubine Novel - Chapter 294

294 Ms. Xu’s Feelings

At ‘Tonight’s Warmth”.

After the show, Zhou Xuefang was very excited.

The staff surrounded the three guests and said that they had worked hard. They were even friendlier towards Zhou Xuefang. It could be seen how successful the episode was.

This time, she could use this to increase her popularity.

!!
When she thought about the fact that she was friends with Sonya on WeChat, she was even more excited.

She mustered her courage and ran to Ji Xi, “Ms. Ji, may I have a word with you?”

Ji Xi, who had just come out of the lounge, heard her voice and turned around, “is something wrong?”

“Can I add you on WeChat?” Zhou Xuefang asked.

Sonya, who was walking past them, glanced at her.

Ji Xi waved her phone apologetically, “I’m sorry, I don’t have WeChat.”

To prevent her from misunderstanding, Ji Xi even showed her her phone.

Other than the default apps, there was only one gaming app. There was no WeChat, no QQ.

Zhou Xuefang was a little embarrassed, but she smiled, “no, no, I’m sorry for being rude.”

The bodyguard nodded respectfully and said, “Ms. Ji, the car is already waiting outside.”

“Ms. Ji, I won’t bother you anymore. I look forward to seeing you again next time!”

Ji Xi nodded with a smile and left with the bodyguards.

Zhou Xuefang turned around and saw Sonya. She then moved closer to her.

Sonya also acted as if she had not seen anything and chatted with her naturally.

In the interview just now, Zhou Xuefang had unintentionally revealed that Han Jjunlei was actually her uncle. Then, she emphasized that her uncle was impartial and incorruptible. He had not given her any special treatment. On the contrary, he was stricter with her than anyone else.

She received a barrage of good comments.

Sonya said, “there are many talents from Nancheng City.”

Zhou Xuefang didn’t take Sonya’s words to heart. She didn’t think that she was mocking her. In fact, she was quite proud of herself. “Our college entrance exam has the highest threshold in the country.”

Sonya nodded and returned to her dressing room.

**

Su Ji had eaten quite a lot today, and the plates in front of Xu Mingzhi and Wen Man were also empty.

Tong Le put his phone under the table to reply to Drums’ message.

[ Drums: “How was it? Did boss ask about me today?” ]

[ Tong Le: “Not at all.” ]

[ Drums: “That’s impossible. I’ve already made myself disappear from her sight for a few days. Doesn’t she feel that there’s suddenly someone missing by her side?” ]

[ Tong Le: “You know about Si Jingchuan, right? He’s been watching her more closely than you, but he’s only an underling.” ]

[ Drums: “So what? That means I’m on the same level as him. Besides, it’s popular now to date younger men. Si Jingchuan is outdated.” ]

Tong Le was speechless. If this were to be posted on the internet, Si Jingchuan’s fans would murder him.

[ Tong Le: “You’re only two months younger than her. It’s time to stop.” ]

While he was chatting under the table, there was an undercurrent surging on the table.

Wen Man’s original intention was to introduce ten ultra-masculine men to Xu Mingzhi in a week. However, ever since she met her, she suddenly felt that none of the men were worthy of her.

So, she hadn’t been able to introduce any new people to her recently, and Tong Yingjie had one less competitor.

In fact, before coming here today, Wen Man didn’t have any hope for Tong Yingjie. But after this meal, she couldn’t be sure. During the meal discussion just now, Xu Mingzhi seemed to have looked at Tong Yingjie a few times.

Was there any meaning to it…

Wen Man’s eyes scanned the two of them.

She hoped that she would find happiness, but at the same time, she didn’t want her to be bewitched by any man.

Ah!

Stop!

If this continued, she would become a scheming, evil woman!

She was conflicted for a long time. Xu Mingzhi put a piece of salmon on her plate, another on Su Ji’s.

However, Xu Mingzhi wasn’t looking at them. She was looking at Tong Yingjie.

She called out to him.

Her voice was very pleasant.

Tong Yingjie immediately straightened his body and was inexplicably nervous. “Yes!”

Xu Mingzhi put down her chopsticks, crossed her fingers, and placed them on the table.

A few seconds later, she said, “I’ll give you a chance.”

One sentence, and everyone’s eyes instantly focused on her.

Su Ji: “?”

Wen Man: “??”

Tong Le: “???”

So suddenly?

Tong Yingjie himself was so nervous that his heart was about to go numb.

Xu Mingzhi raised her hand and said, “you’ve misunderstood. I mean the work project.”

Everyone at the table sighed in relief at the same time. Only Tong Yingjie was clearly disappointed, but he still maintained his gentlemanly smile, “I didn’t come today for this…”

“I know,” Xu Mingzhi replied.

“No, you don’t understand!” Tong Yingjie’s face was red and he was a little anxious. Su Ji also put down her chopsticks.

He clenched his fists. “I know that we are not of the same status, but I really don’t have any other intentions. You might think that it’s a little abrupt for me to say this since we’re only meeting for the second time, but I’m really doing this because I’m interested in you as a person.”

Xu Mingzhi listened to him politely and smiled, “I’m sorry, Mr. Tong. Thank you but I’m only interested in the project.”

It was very much like Xu Mingzhi to reject someone so decisively.

She said it indifferently without any embarrassment. Tong Yingjie knew that she said it out of respect, so he was not as embarrassed as he had imagined.

Her words were concise, making it easier to accept.

Su Ji took out her phone from her side pocket. She sent a WeChat message to Pei Huai.

[ Su Ji: “Uncle Tong is rejected.” ]

[ Su Ji: “It’s unfortunate, his cooking is really good.” ]

This time, Pei Huai didn’t reply within seconds, so Su Ji put her phone away.

After a few minutes, Tong Yingjie smiled bitterly. In fact, he had already expected this answer. “Thank you, for giving me a quick answer. As for the project, I will still submit the application according to the usual process. If it really passes the review, it will prove that it is indeed valuable.”

He stood up and extended his hand to Xu Mingzhi, “although it’s impossible for our relationship to progress further, I hope that we can still be friends in the future.”

Xu Mingzhi shook his hand, “of course.”

Tong Le slid his chair closer to Su Ji and said in a very low voice, “your mother is very straightforward.”

Su Ji nodded.

That’s right, that’s the one and only Ms. Xu Mingzhi.

The atmosphere of the party didn’t become awkward because of Xu Mingzhi’s rejection. Instead, it became more harmonious.

Tong Yingjie was also relaxed.

They hung out until late at night. As the younger ones, Tong Le and Su Ji were forced to sing the song in the commercial.

Xu Mingzhi’s eyes were full of love as she listened to her carefully. He turned to Wen Man and said, “the reason why we can’t beat the Pei Corporation in sales locally is because of the soundtrack.”

The house was filled with laughter, but Su Ji suddenly remembered the phone in her pocket. She turned her head and looked at the bright window next door.

An hour had passed, and there was still no reply…
