Capable?
Shi Wei immediately replied, “Yes, find someone capable who can suppress the news. Yes, let’s do that!”
Soon after that, Shi Wei perked up, “Guan Jing, call Qin Hong and tell him… It’s alright, I’ll do it!”
As soon as Shi Wei hung up, she called Qin Hong herself. Qin Hong had read the news about Shi Wei earlier, and she didn’t know how to react to that.
It was just yesterday when Qin Hong received an order from Fu Chengyan, saying that she had to be in Shi Wei’s good books. As for the reason, she had already guessed it from Fu Chengyan and Shi Nuan’s tone. Thus, when Qin Hong received Shi Wei’s call, she put up a front. Since Shi Wei needed her help this time, she spoke humbly, unlike the other day.
“Ms. Qin, can we meet up?”
“Ms. Shi, you know how busy I am. Plus, shouldn’t you be dealing with the arising matter?” Qin Hong had read the news about Shi Wei, and her contempt for this woman heightened.
“Ms. Qin, please don’t believe those rumors being spread online. That isn’t me. Can we meet up and talk? Or can you give me Mr. Fu’s phone number? You can also give me his assistant, Mr. Zhou’s number.” Shi Wei was certain if she met up with Fu Chengyan, the man would help her by doing Fu Xicheng a favor.
But Shi Wei obviously made a miscalculation, as Qin Hong told her neither Fu Chengyan nor Zhou Zheng’s number.
That left Shi Wei with no choice but to go to Fucheng to look for Fu Xicheng.
When Fu Xicheng’s secretary informed him of Shi Wei’s arrival, he didn’t want to see her. Nonetheless, Shi Wei barged into his office. “Xicheng, you have to save me this time!”
Shi Wei closed the door pitifully. Before Fu Xicheng realized what was going on, she pounced onto him and buried herself in his arms, sobbing out loud. “Xicheng, you must trust me! The photos are fake. Someone framed me!”
“Someone framed you? Shi Wei, do you think I’m a fool? The photos were taken some time ago. You were in your teens back then. Tell me, did you…”
“Xicheng!” Shi Wei stood on tiptoes and kissed the corner of Fu Xicheng’s lips lightly. As soon as she saw Fu Xicheng froze, she seized the opportunity and went for it.
Shi Wei was in total control of the situation, as she was certain that Fu Xicheng would fall into her trap. Not long after, she had successfully aroused Fu Xicheng. With that, she shoved Fu Xicheng onto the sofa as she knelt to unzip his pants.
Fu Xicheng’s eyes went dark with desire. He wanted to shove her away, but the woman’s skilled tongue made him weak in the knees, and he succumbed to the surging desire within him.
Meanwhile, Shi Wei grasped the opportunity to tell him, “Xicheng, I was a virgin when I had sex with you for the first time. You know that. I’m not someone like that! You’re my one and only. Someone photoshopped those photos to frame me. I admit a few of them were me, but those are photos from a photoshoot! You can investigate the matter if you don’t believe me!”
However, Fu Xicheng, who was already aroused, only heard what she said half-heartedly. The only thing that he wanted now was for her to go on with her act, “Yes, I know. Wei, go on!”
After a while, Fu Xicheng let out a groan in satisfaction, then Shi Wei stood up and went into his embrace. “Xicheng, I was wrong no matter what happened. I’m sorry.”
Fu Xicheng stretched out his hand to tousle Shi Wei’s silky hair. “I know. I will help you, but this will be the last.”
“Okay. I love you, Xicheng!” Shi Wei brushed a kiss across his lips. “Do you want more?”
For that split second, Fu Xicheng’s gaze darkened, but he shook his head. “Let’s talk about it tonight!”
Fu Xicheng came to Shengyuan’s building once again, and it was also for Shi Wei this round. Only that this time, Fu Chengyan wasn’t nice to him anymore. Fu Xicheng didn’t even get to meet the man initially.
For that whole morning, Fu Xicheng waited in Shengyuan before Fu Chengyan arrived.
Though Fu Xicheng was full of complaints, he dared not show his genuine feelings as he needed the man’s help.
“Two cups of teas.” Fu Chengyan pressed on the intercom and asked his secretary to bring them in. He smiled, crinkling up his eyes while gesturing for Fu Xicheng to sit down.
Fu Xicheng had no idea why he felt so inferior in Fu Chengyan’s presence.
“Have a seat,” Fu Chengyan’s lips curled up in a smile, “Looks like you really like that Ms. Shi, huh?”
Fu Xicheng froze immediately. He hadn’t said anything yet, but Fu Chengyan had already guessed the reason and said it out loud. To hear it from him actually embarrassed Fu Xicheng.
Fu Chengyan’s eyes narrowed. Right then, his secretary had brought in the drinks. Then, he gestured for his secretary to hand it to Fu Xicheng. “Here, try this. It’s fresh from this year’s harvest. I remember your father loves tea, but I don’t know if you like it.”
“My father loves tea.” Fu Xicheng was pleasantly flattered when Fu Chengyan suddenly mentioned his father. “I can’t believe you still remember that.”
Fu Chengyan chuckled and took a sip. After putting the cup down, he said, “We’re from the same clan.”
Right across him, Fu Xicheng’s brows slightly furrowed, as Fu Chengyan’s words were terrifying. Nonetheless, he answered, “Thank you.”
“What do you need me to do this time?” Fu Chengyan drummed his knuckles on the table gently. “Your fiancée… Is it Ms. Shi, the eldest daughter of the Shi family?”
“Yes,” Fu Xicheng replied uneasily, “Someone framed Wei this time too, so… Previously, you allowed Wei to act in a TV drama produced by your company, right? I heard Xinhuang Entertainment, which is owned by you, is well-known in the industry. Hence…”
Fu Chengyan raised his hand to stop Fu Xicheng’s words. “I can help you, but this time the situation is even worse than before!” Fu Chengyan’s voice was cold as he said, “I’m a businessman, and businessmen don’t take bad deals. Xicheng, since you’re helping your father in Fucheng, I believe you should know that well.”
“You’re right.” Fu Xicheng knew what Fu Chengyan meant. However, he had already promised Shi Wei to get Fu Chengyan’s help.
It wasn’t exactly a small matter as well, so Fu Chengyan was the only one who could resolve the situation.
“You should think it over. The entertainment industry is complicated. I can help her, but she needs to show her sincerity.”
“What do you mean by that?” Fu Xicheng frowned as he realized things weren’t as simple as he thought. “If I can do it, of course I will…”
“I don’t need you.” Fu Chengyan raised his hand to cut him off. “I think Shi Wei’s company isn’t going to protect her after what happened.”
Fu Xicheng’s expression froze. “You really do know everything!”
“Ask her if she’s willing to join Xinhuang.” Fu Chengyan replied calmly. Fu Xicheng was shocked, as he didn’t expect Fu Chengyan would say that. “You’re willing to sign Wei?”
“She has to come over to talk about the details. If she’s willing, she can go to Zhou Zheng. He’s the one managing Xinhuang’s affairs. I’m merely recommending her.”
“Okay, got it.”
After leaving Fu Chengyan’s office, Fu Xicheng felt uneasy. He thought it’d be hard to get Fu Chengyan’s help, but the man agreed to help almost immediately.
Shi Wei, who was waiting outside, rushed over to Fu Xicheng when he came out. “Xicheng, how did it go? Did Fu Chengyan agree?”
Fu Xicheng nodded in response, and Shi Wei flung her arms around him excitedly. “Darling, I knew you could do it! Thank you for doing this for me.” Shi Wei stood on tiptoes and kissed him.
However, Fu Xicheng was unprepared for Shi Wei’s enthusiasm, so he pushed her away. ‘Don’t get too excited yet. Fu Chengyan had agreed to help you, but he wanted to sign you to Xinhuang!”
“Sign me to Xinhuang?” Shi Wei was taken aback. She bit her lips, obviously stumped. “But I have an ongoing contract at Xinjia, I…”
“Well, that ultimately falls on you. My uncle is willing to help his family, but he won’t help others without getting anything in return. Wei, he’s a businessman after all!” Fu Xicheng recalled Fu Chengyan’s aura when he was talking. The contrast between them was distinct.
At first, Shi Wei was full of hesitation. But when Fu Xicheng mentioned the word “family”, she immediately made up her mind. “Okay, I’ll go terminate my contract with Xinjia now.” Xinjia is nothing compared to Xinhuang Entertainment.
Xinjia is just an ant in comparison. Meanwhile, Xinhuang Entertainment is a company under Shengyuan, owned by Fu Chengyan.
And Fu Chengyan?
Well, he’s a powerful man in Jiang City. If I can build a connection with him, I will have a successful career for sure.
With that, Shi Wei made up her mind. “Xicheng, tell Fu Chengyan I said yes.”
Soon after her decision, Fu Xicheng made a call to Zhou Zheng. However, Zhou Zheng told him that Shi Wei had to terminate her contract with Xinjia before Xinhuang could start discussions with her.
Hence, Shi Wei had no choice but to agree to terminate her contract as soon as possible. But the woman also requested Xinhuang to suppress the news immediately.
After Zhou Zheng hung up, he glanced at Fu Chengyan, “Mr. Fu, Shi Wei said yes.”
A smile lit up Fu Chengyan’s face as an icy glint appeared in his eyes. “Good job!”
Zhou Zheng arched his brows and replied, “Thank you for the compliment! I’ll go prepare the contract now. As soon as Shi Wei terminates her contract, I’ll sign her to Xinhuang.” He had been waiting for this day for a while now.
If Shi Wei finds out about the truth, would she regret her actions today?
If she knew Shi Nuan, who she despised immensely, was now her boss, how would she react?
