"I'm trying to figure it out. I'll definitely solve it. You don't need to worry."
Gu Sisi yawned. "Go have dinner first. I'm so sleepy. I want to take a break."
Seeing how exhausted she was, Huo Cheng didn't stop her. He left the room after she fell asleep.
Originally, Gu Sisi didn't plan to tell Huo Cheng about this. After all, their relationship was a bit awkward at the moment, and they lived under the same roof.
She'd better not trouble Huo Cheng.
She had just fallen asleep when she was suddenly awakened by an annoying phone ring.
She squinted her eyes. "Who is it?"
"Sisi, are you asleep?" Wen Xuanyang's warm voice came from the other end.
Gu Sisi took a while to react and then answered a bit slowly, "Yeah. I'm a bit sleepy. I just fell asleep."
"Sisi, I heard about what happened in the company." He paused for a moment. "I've done similar work before and I know some screenwriters. I can help you."
Gu Sisi was a bit surprised. She sat up from the bed. Wen Xuanyang had already quit the company. Why did he want to help her at this time?
"Sisi, I can persuade the screenwriter not to change the script and respect your and Teacher Yang's opinions. Then the director won't have any reason to make things difficult for you."
"But won't it be too much trouble for you?" Thinking it over, Wen Xuanyang could really be of help.
"It's not trouble. Sisi, if you..." Wen Xuanyang stopped halfway through his sentence when he heard Zhao Wanru's voice from the other side.
"Sisi, I've got something else to do. Let's talk later." Wen Xuanyang sounded a bit urgent, and then the call ended.
The next day, Gu Sisi planned to meet Teacher Yang again to see if they could come up with a compromise.
Suddenly, Yang Qian called. "Sisi, where are you? Hurry back to the company!"
When she got to the company, she found out that the company had changed so much overnight. An unknown big company suddenly wanted to acquire their company.
This change was so sudden that the employees in the company were talking about it. They were all speculating about who the real backer was and how the work would be carried out after the new boss took over.
"You called me back just for this?" Gu Sisi pouted. Who the backer was had nothing to do with her. She just wanted to do her job well as soon as possible.
She was really at her wit's end.
"Yo, isn't this the 'pie - painting king'?" Even when Gu Sisi went to the bathroom, Peng Die blocked her in the corridor, as if she had been waiting for her on purpose.
Gu Sisi ignored her and tried to walk around her.
"Some people are just so self - deluded. They think they can turn into a phoenix. A crow is just a crow. Don't daydream all day long."
Gu Sisi turned back. "Do you hate crows very much? Coincidentally, I do too. They keep cawing all day long. It's so annoying!"
Peng Die was stunned for a moment and then realized that she had been insulted indirectly by Gu Sisi. "Gu Sisi, stop! What do you mean?"
The colleagues around noticed the situation and looked over.
Gu Sisi stopped. "What?"
Peng Die took a deep breath and walked up to her in high heels. "It's better to be more decent and leave a way out for yourself. Don't end up with nothing."
Gu Sisi knew that even if she spoke nicely, Peng Die still wouldn't give her a good look. So she didn't hold back either.
"Are you done talking? If so, go home and look in the mirror. Look at yourself before criticizing others."
Peng Die looked at Gu Sisi as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world. "I think you'd better resign voluntarily. Otherwise, you'll be so embarrassed when your 'pie - painting' fails one day and you're kicked out of the company."
Whether Gu Sisi liked it or not, the nickname "pie - painting king" had been forced on her.
Peng Die just wanted to make her a laughingstock in the whole company in this way.
Gu Sisi didn't want to talk to her and turned around to go back, but Peng Die stepped forward and blocked her, looking aggressive.
"You're really thick - skinned. At this point, you still have the nerve to stay in the company. Don't you know what shame is?"
Just as she finished speaking, she noticed a person standing beside them. A chill was spreading over.
"Mr. ... Mr. Huo?"
"Huo Cheng?"
