Chapter 41: Who was helping her? 𝗳𝗿𝐞ℯ𝙬𝗲𝗯n𝗼νel.𝒄𝑜𝘮
The little guy observed his mother’s expression after he finished speaking and saw that she did not look very happy.
He knew that this amount of money was not much to the adults. The adults had to buy things every day and had to spend a lot of money.
The little fellow was not in a hurry. He took out a passbook from behind him and handed it to Chi yaoxi.””Mommy, there’s more here. They’re all for you.”
Chi yaoxi took the passbook and looked at it. She was even more shocked and did not know what to say.
There was a total of 860000 Yuan in the passbook!
This was really not a small amount. An ordinary family could use the money they earned without going to work for many years.
When he saw his mommy’s noncommittal expression, the little fellow thought that it was not enough. He stuffed the money and the passbook into Chi yaoxi’s hands and said,”
“Mommy, don’t worry. Although this money isn’t enough, I’ll grow up quickly and earn more money to support you.”
Chi Luoxi knew that the little fellow had misunderstood and hurriedly said,”
“Thank you, baby. But Chenchen, this is your pocket money since you were young. It’s quite a lot. Quickly keep it safe. Mommy still has savings, so I don’t need your money.”
The little guy understood his mommy’s intention to refuse him. He immediately showed an unhappy expression and pouted his little mouth as he said sternly,”
“Mommy, you can’t say that! Our son’s money is our mother’s money. We’re a family, so this money is mine. I have the final say. You must accept it, or I won’t sleep. ”
The little fellow sternly explained his reasoning and then forcefully stuffed the money and passbook into Chi Yueyue’s hands.
Chi luexi smiled. After pondering for a moment, she kept the money temporarily and kept it for him so as not to affect his mood.
It was Monday again, the time for the Board of Directors. As a signed actress, Chi leixi’s scandal had caused a lot of trouble during this period, causing the company to suffer great losses.
The Board of Directors of the Company had discussed during a meeting that in order to stop losses in time, they would cancel all of Chi Luoxi’s contract with film companies and endorsement companies.
If Chi Luoxi could not make a comeback in a month’s time before the rumors died down, the company would have to terminate the contract with her even if they had to pay a portion of the penalty for breach of contract.
All the members of the Board of Directors nodded in agreement. Only the company’s largest shareholder, Li Jingjing, who was also the company’s president, was against it.
Everyone did not understand what he meant and advised him to give up on Chi Luoxi.
Director Xie, a senior figure in the company, saw that Li Jingjing was insistent on this matter and didn’t listen to the opinions of the other board members, so he patiently persuaded her.”
“President Li, I’ve been in the company for the longest time and have experienced many important decisions. You have to believe in everyone’s predictions. There’s no other way to stop losses in time.”
Seeing that the chairman, Li Jingjing, was still cold and silent, President Xiao chimed in,”
“That’s right, President li. It’s everyone’s common goal to think about the company’s development and interests. Don’t worry, there will be more suitable and promising artistes who will sign with the company in the future and create more value for the company.”
Everyone tried their best to persuade her, but the company’s highest-ranking Executive President, Li Jingjing, insisted on not listening to their advice and only wanted to deal with it according to his ideas.
This raised doubts from the other board members. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
In the end, Li Jingjing managed to secure a few major endorsement deals for Chi Luoxi. She wanted to ensure that she could start working smoothly after the limelight had passed.
Chi Luoxi received a call from sister Ming when she came out of the film and television training Center.”
“Yue Xi, come directly to auspicious advertising company at nineo’ clock tomorrow morning. There’s a new skin care product and you’ll continue to shoot the endorsement advertisement.”
Endorsement?
Chi leixi was very surprised. Did that mean that she still had a job?
She couldn’t believe it and quickly confirmed with sister Ming,””Sister Ming, sister Ming, are you saying that I’m going to shoot the endorsement advertisement tomorrow?”
Sister Ming knew that Chi Luoxi would not believe her either.
Before the incident, all the film and television companies and advertising endorsement companies were rushing to sign a contract with Chi Luoxi, even if they had to raise the price.
But now, those companies were keeping a respectful distance from Chi Kexi. Those who could terminate their contracts took the initiative to do so.
Under such circumstances, there was still a company that called and took the initiative to shoot a commercial endorsement? Even sister Ming couldn’t believe it. After repeatedly confirming it, she called Chi Luoxi to inform her.
This was great news for Chi leixi. She hurriedly agreed and promised that she would arrive earlier the next day.
The shooting process went smoothly. Chi Kexi regained her confidence in front of the camera. After more than two hours of shooting, the shoot was completed successfully. Chi Kexi’s face revealed a satisfied smile that she had not seen in a long time.
After everything was packed, Chi Luoxi put on a hat and a mask, took the elevator downstairs, and was ready to take a taxi back.
As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, Chi Kexi immediately stopped in her tracks. The corridor in front of her was actually surrounded by media reporters. From the microphones in their hands, she could tell that they were from different media websites.
Chi yaoxi was shocked. She wanted to return immediately, but when she turned around, the elevator door had already closed and it had gone down to the second basement floor. It was too late to take the elevator.
Chi leixi wanted to pull down the brim of her hat and run out from the side door. She wanted to leave this group of troublesome media reporters. If they caught her, things would blow up again.
However, it was already too late. A few sharp-eyed reporters ran over and blocked Chi Luoxi at the elevator in the corridor.
A series of questions that hit her while she was down overwhelmed Chi yaoxi and she could not catch her breath.
Just as Chi Luoxi was trapped and helpless in the face of these reporters who were like wolves and leopards, Li Jingjing’s assistant, Ling Li, happened to come out of the elevator from upstairs.
Ling Li knew the severity of the situation when he saw this. He did not think too much about it and called a few people to chase away the reporters.
After the matter was settled, Ling Li drove away from the back door.
Chi leixi felt as if she had experienced two heavens again. One moment, the sun was shining brightly, and the next moment, it was raining cats and dogs. Why did the scene change so quickly, just like in a movie?
Just like that, the media reporters left without a word. It had only taken less than ten minutes, and the speed at which they left made Chi leixi feel that it was surreal. It was as if they had not appeared at all.
This matter was very suspicious and had happened more than once. Chi Yuexi knew that someone was definitely helping her behind the scenes.
Was it that man? Li Jingjing?
However, he had no power or influence, so it was impossible for him to spend money to do things for her every time.
As soon as she walked out of the main entrance, Chi Luoxi hurriedly hailed a taxi and returned to the villa.
Assistant Ling Li came to the president’s office and told Li Jingjing what had happened.
Li Jingjing’s face was dark and her brows were tightly furrowed. He crumpled the paper he was writing on.
Were these reporters so free? They had found out where Chi Luoxi had gone, but they had gone too far by surrounding her the moment she got off work!
Li Jingjing immediately turned on her computer and saw the latest news on Weibo’s top search list. It was still directed at Chi Luoxi. The news that had been released 20 minutes ago was exaggerated and carried out a new round of slander against Chi Luoxi.
