Shen Wei was thinking of driving a wedge between Zheng Nanfeng and Ji Xiaoli, so she naturally brought up the rumor about Ji Xiaoli and Zhong Canxi as soon as possible.
However, Shen Wei had just said a couple of sentences when Zheng Nanfeng rudely interrupted her.
Zheng Nanfeng said impatiently, "Come on, that's enough. Are you so free? What do these things have to do with you? What are you babbling on about?"
Don't even mention Zhong Canxi to him. Just thinking about it made him feel annoyed.
Shen Wei was taken aback by his words. Zheng Nanfeng had just killed the conversation.
But thinking of Zheng Nanfeng's substantial fortune, Shen Wei put on a pitiable look and said, "But Mr. Zheng, I'm just worried that you've been kept in the dark by Ji Xiaoli. After all, her rumors..."
Leaving the sentence unfinished made it even more thought - provoking.
This trick of Shen Wei's had always worked. She was just waiting for Zheng Nanfeng to soften his heart and comfort her.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Nanfeng let out a sneer upon hearing this. "Who do you think you are to me? A woman with no relation to me comes here to show concern. Have you watched too many idol dramas? Do you all think you're the heroines of romance dramas?"
As soon as he heard Shen Wei's words, he immediately realized that she was using Ji Xiaoli's name to get close to him.
Zheng Nanfeng had seen many such people and usually just ignored them. But since Shen Wei had dragged Ji Xiaoli into it, he had to set her straight.
After hearing this, Shen Wei's face turned red and then white.
"Mr. Zheng, please listen to me. I didn't mean that."
Zheng Nanfeng looked down at her condescendingly, with disdain written all over his face. "Then what do you mean?"
Shen Wei's smile almost froze. She had never met such an unyielding man.
She had no choice but to continue explaining, "Mr. Zheng, you've misunderstood. I just wanted to kindly remind you."
"I've already said it has nothing to do with you. You talk too much." After saying that, Zheng Nanfeng left without looking back.
Shen Wei was immediately stunned on the spot. "Mr. Zheng, Mr. Zheng!"
After getting rid of that woman, Zheng Nanfeng went to find Ji Xiaoli again.
Ji Xiaoli had finished filming and was taking a nap.
Today's filming was a bit tiring for her as a newbie.
When Zheng Nanfeng saw this, he poured her a glass of water.
Hearing the sound, Ji Xiaoli said in surprise, "When did you come? Have you been waiting for a long time?"
She hadn't noticed his arrival while filming.
"Not long." Zheng Nanfeng estimated the time and then added, "You should stay away from that Shen Wei in the future."
"What's wrong?" Ji Xiaoli felt a bit confused, but she also knew that Zheng Nanfeng wouldn't talk nonsense.
Zheng Nanfeng frowned. Obviously, he had a very bad impression of that person. "This woman has too many schemes. I was waiting for you in the studio just now, and that woman came over to strike up a conversation with me. She even said some bad things about you on purpose."
Ji Xiaoli recalled for a while and said hesitantly, "I also thought she was a bit strange before. I thought she was just not easy to approach."
"Anyway, remember to stay away from her." Zheng Nanfeng always kept his distance from such scheming women. If Shen Wei hadn't mentioned Ji Xiaoli today, he wouldn't have even bothered to talk to her.
Ji Xiaoli nodded and didn't take it seriously. "Anyway, I'll only be filming for a few months and then leave. We won't be together for a long time in the future."
Now that she knew Shen Wei had bad intentions, she just needed to be a bit more vigilant.
Zheng Nanfeng frowned subconsciously. "But I don't think that woman will give up so easily."
"You're overthinking. I have no conflict of interest with her." Ji Xiaoli waved her hand casually and then flipped through the script beside her.
Zheng Nanfeng could never argue with her. He could only nod helplessly. "Okay, okay, you're right."
Anyway, he was here. If anything happened, he could take care of it in time.
With him around, that woman wouldn't dare to act rashly.
At this moment, the system suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
[Player, don't be too careless.]
Ji Xiaoli paused while flipping through the script and began to think about the meaning of this sentence.
Ji Xiaoli: System, what do you mean?
[It means exactly what it says. As a friendly reminder, Shen Wei is targeting the player and plotting something.]
Ji Xiaoli was now confused. She didn't seem to have offended Shen Wei. Why was she being targeted again?
Ji Xiaoli: System, stop beating around the bush. Just say what you have to say.
[Since the player is so eager to know, I'll give you a discount. As long as you pay 88,888 good - luck points, I'll tell you all her plans.]
Ji Xiaoli was speechless. The system was really a profiteer.
A simple plan cost 88,888 good - luck points. It was too much of a rip - off.
But while it was easy to dodge an open spear, it was hard to guard against a hidden arrow. Ji Xiaoli was still a bit hesitant.
Ji Xiaoli: System, how about giving me another discount?
[Don't even think about it. Player, don't forget that you still owe me a lot of good - luck points.]
Only then did Ji Xiaoli suddenly remember that in order to deal with Qin Xiangxiang before, she had asked the system to let her owe a lot of good - luck points.
Ji Xiaoli: When debts are many, one stops worrying. System, how about letting me owe a bit more?
[Player, stop daydreaming. Don't forget that the good - luck points for this week will be settled soon, and you haven't completed your task yet.]
Ji Xiaoli was stunned. Wait, she had almost forgotten about the task.
[It's okay. If the player fails to complete the task, since you're in debt, the punishment will just be doubled.]
Just be doubled?
Ji Xiaoli was completely numb. The ordinary punishment was already unbearable, and now it would be doubled.
She might as well just give up on life.
Thinking of this, Ji Xiaoli suddenly woke up from the deck chair and grabbed Zheng Nanfeng's hand. "Hurry, I'll take you shopping now."
Zheng Nanfeng was first surprised and then realized. "Are you going to do the task again?"
Since he already knew about it, Ji Xiaoli didn't hide it anymore. She sighed and said, "Don't even mention it. I almost forgot about this task. Let's go out and buy something quickly."
Although Zheng Nanfeng didn't mind Ji Xiaoli relying on him to do the task. In fact, he even wished that Ji Xiaoli would always rely on him to complete the task.
However, Zheng Nanfeng had to remind Ji Xiaoli of one thing. "Xiaoli, have you forgotten that you're in the filming crew now?"
Ji Xiaoli was stunned and stopped walking. "What's the problem?"
It was just that she was in the filming crew...
Zheng Nanfeng rubbed his forehead. He knew she had forgotten. "Xiaoli, your contract says that you're not allowed to go out during the filming period."
Otherwise, he wouldn't have chased after her to the filming crew.
Hearing this, Ji Xiaoli froze on the spot.
"Are you saying I can't go out to do the task now?"
The system gloated and said,
[Player, you'd better save yourself.]
