Rebirth from the Ashes - Chapter 171

Chapter 171: My Sister

Shen Xi turned around to see Fu Qingye’s face that never ceased to amaze, anytime, anywhere. The latter’s eyes turned soft as he met her gaze.

Hong Tao looked over. Holy sh*t. Mr. Fu was here. Hat in hand, Hong Tao respectfully greeted him. “Mr. Fu, you didn’t say you were coming. I’m really sorry that I did not personally wait for you at the door.”

Shen Xi coldly smirked at the station director who was reduced to a wimp.

Without glancing at him, Fu Qingye only had eyes for Shen Xi and asked her, “Are you done with business here?”

Hong Tao’s pupils dilated as the noble Movie Star Fu smiled warmly and spoke to Shen Xi with an intimate tone. Breaking out in cold sweat, Hong Tao’s hair stood on end. He let out an awkward smile. “I didn’t know Mr. Fu and Cloud Seven are friends.”

Shen Xi, “…”

With surprise written in Fu Qingye’s gentle and long eyes, he curled an intriguing grin at her before speaking in a delighted tone, “She’s not a friend, but my sister.”

This girl always amazed him. Who would have guessed that she was Cloud Seven, the screenwriter of “The Smiling Nation”.

There really were curious coincidences in this world.

Mother and Aunt were obsessed with “The Smiling Nation” of hers.

A loyal fan to the show, Mother called him to moan about yesterday’s episode. She said that the commercials had doubled, the show had lost its touch and was not as fascinating as before. She wanted him to find out what was up.

Fu Qingye placed importance on Mother’s request and since he had business with the TV station, he stopped by.

“I’m done.” Shen Xi smiled at him. Warmth and gratitude softened the lines of her stone-cold face.

This man was brilliant and sharp, capable of picking up what was going on in an instant. He had her back.

“We’re done, all done. I will definitely strictly supervise Cloud Seven’s requests and ensure that they are met.” Hong Tao grinned to smoothen the situation.

It was not his hair standing on end at this point but his head buzzing. Fortunately, he came back to the right course during negotiations and reached a consensus with Cloud Seven. Otherwise, he would be doomed.

It was no wonder Cloud Seven gave him an impression of a level-headed and wise lady despite her young age. She carried herself with extraordinary bearing that surpassed even he, who was high-ranking in the social ladder. It all made sense if she belonged to the Fu family.

“That’d be a great help, Director Hong.” Shen Xi feigned a smile. Since she had gotten what she came here for, there was no need to pursue who was at fault.

She knew that the old sly fox was only compromising on the surface while inside, he was livid, frustrated, and resentful towards her. Perhaps Hong Tao had a million ways to kill her and crush Cosmos Entertainment in mind.

Regardless of his thoughts and intentions to conspire in the dark, Shen Xi was not the least bit afraid.

She was acting in accordance with the contract and asking him to do the same. It was the only rightful, honorable, worthy, and conscientious thing to do.

Moreover, did Hong Tao believe that he was the only one with power and connections?

Shen Xi did not pale in comparison when it came to influence and connections.

Taking a glance at Shen Xi, Fu Qingye could rest after finding no signs of abuse on her. He then turned to Hong Tao, but by then, his smile and gentleness had disappeared, leaving only an air of revering majesty. “I’ll cut to the chase, Director. I’m a loyal fan of “The Smiling Nation”. I would like to ask about yesterday’s episode. Why are the scene transitions and storyline worse than before?”
