305 Unexpected News for the Paparazzi (1)
After Zhou Xuefang turned off commenting, the netizens had nowhere else to go. They turned their attention to the “friend” who was mentioned in the screenshot.
What kind of photo could make Si Jingchuan go to the hotel to retrieve them?
It made them really curious!
After driving for half an hour, it became clear where Zhou Xuefang was headed.
The bespectacled man was excited, “she seems to be going to Blue Whale? That friend is from the blue whale? Someone from The Billions Stars? That’ll be exciting!”
“What if it’s just a meeting at Blue Whale?”
The spectacled man said, “I don’t think she’ll go to the meeting alone. She’ll usually bring a manager or assistant with her. It’s obvious that she’s meeting a friend.”
“That makes sense.”
The bespectacled man called his colleague again, “are you nearby? I have a feeling that there will be news!”

Su Ji had been called to Blue Whale early in the morning to sign a contract for the electric vehicle.
It was almost the new year, but there were still many people in the company as usual.
In the lounge, Su Ji was lazily leaning against the water dispenser, drinking water.
Pei Xi made a cup of latte with coffee art. It was extremely ugly, but it was artistic, because it was a logo of a luxury brand.
She was indeed the daughter of the Pei family.
“Have you seen the news in the past two days?” She looked up at Su Ji.
From her relaxed expression, one could tell that she was still unaware that it was actually related to Su Ji.
Su Ji also replied casually, “I did.”
Then, she took a sip of water and yawned.
“Zhou Xuefang’s image has been destroyed quite badly. When I looked at TikTok today, it was all about the pretentious smiles she made in yesterday’s interview.”
She lifted her chin at Su Ji, “as long as nothing happens, the part in the finale is basically yours.”
Su Ji took another sip of water and did not say anything this time.
Pei Xi took her silence as a yes and casually asked, “oh right, do you know who are the people in the photos?”
Su Ji straightened her body slightly, “actually…”
Before she could finish, she saw Xu Ni coming over with a cup of coffee.
Her attention was diverted, “you’re here today too? What’s the matter?”
“Oh, nothing, I came for fun. Xu Ni took a disposable cup and then said, “I don’t want to stay at home.”
“Doesn’t your grandma dote on you?” Su Ji teased.
Xu Ni didn’t know if she knew about him, so he just glanced at her.
Pei Xi quite liked Xu Ni. She was a person who was obsessed with looks. “Xu Ni, work hard for the future. As long as there are no scandals, you have a bright future.”
Xu Ni looked at Su Ji and also remained silent.
Xu Ni took the coffee and drank it by the door.
When she heard the sound of the elevator, she glanced over casually, “your boyfriend is here.”
Su Ji took a step to the side of the door, and Pei Huai’s figure had already appeared in her line of sight.
Pei Huai was heading to the room they were in. He heard some sounds and turned to see Su Ji.
He was very calm.
The man raised his eyebrows and put a hand into his pocket. He stood tall and straight, “have you had breakfast?”
“Yes,” Su Ji replied.
Pei Huai’s gaze swept past Xu Ni and he nodded at Pei Xi. Then, he looked back at Su Ji, “signing a contract?”
Su Ji replied, “I’m done.”
Pei Huai smiled, “sure, I’ll take you home then.”
Su Ji put down her cup, bade farewell to the others, and left with him.
Xu Ni was a little confused, “so CEO Pei is here to pick her up?”
“Yeah, he’s taking over my job,” Pei Xi ran her fingers through her hair. “He’s picking her up every day. People who don’t know him might think that he’s picking up his child.”
Xu Ni chuckled. He was a little jealous.
After a while, he finished the rest of his coffee, “I’m leaving too.”
Pei Xi nodded. She still had to stay here to deal with work.
When Xu Ni went to the elevator, Su Ji and Pei Huai were already there. Su Ji had just returned to the meeting room to get her backpack, but she had forgotten to zip it. When she picked it up, everything fell to the ground.
With both hands in his pockets, Xu Ni slowed down his pace and stopped behind them.
The two of them did not notice him.
Because he wasn’t noticed, Xu Ni stared at them.
He had never had the chance to experience what it felt like to be in a relationship. His friends were all fresh graduates, and it was rare for them to have stable relationships.
