After finishing the conversation with the company, she hung up the phone.
Shen Wei stared at the screen of her phone where the call had ended, completely stunned.
Was she, a top - tier actress, supposed to apologize to that second - or third - tier actress Ji Xiaoli? If this got out, what status would she have left in the entertainment circle?
Seeing Shen Wei's expression change, the assistant quickly snatched back her own phone.
It was a joke. Shen Wei could afford to smash her phone and buy a new one, but she was just a low - paid assistant. This phone was brand new, and she couldn't afford any mishaps.
Shen Wei, whose phone had been snatched away, had a dark expression on her face. She stared silently at her assistant.
What was this? Was even an assistant daring to take something from her?
The assistant had been able to stay by Shen Wei's side for so long because she was very good at reading people's expressions.
Seeing Shen Wei's mood turn sour, the assistant wisely changed the subject, "Sister Wei, what did the company say?"
It would have been better if she hadn't brought it up. As soon as she did, Shen Wei's face darkened even more.
The company had said that she either had to apologize or be terminated from her contract.
She had worked so hard to reach her current status. How could she be sidelined at this time?
Her company was one of the top ones in the entertainment circle. Once the company made a decision, she would surely fall out of favor.
After much thought, Shen Wei decided to apologize. She could regain her face, but if she lost the company, it would be all over.
Shen Wei bit her lower lip and finally went to find Ji Xiaoli.
The moment Ji Xiaoli saw Shen Wei, she became on guard. "What are you doing here?"
Shen Wei felt like losing her temper when she sensed Ji Xiaoli's wariness. But thinking about her purpose for coming, she forced herself to hold back her anger.
"I'm sorry."
"What did you say?"
It wasn't that Ji Xiaoli was being picky. Shen Wei's voice was so soft that Ji Xiaoli really didn't hear what she said.
Shen Wei raised her voice more than twice, "Ji Xiaoli, are you doing this on purpose? You can't even hear this!"
Ji Xiaoli was speechless. "The difference in your volume is too big, okay? I really didn't hear you just now."
Shen Wei was so angry that she wanted to turn around and leave. But the company's words echoed in her ears. It was all for work!
Shen Wei reluctantly repeated herself, "I said I'm sorry. Did you hear that?"
Ji Xiaoli nodded to show that she heard. But, considering Shen Wei's personality, was it really possible for her to come and apologize?
Had the world gone crazy? Could it be that Shen Wei could actually apologize?
At this moment, the system suddenly popped up.
[There will be a surprise later.]
Ji Xiaoli: Surprise? What kind of surprise?
[The secret of heaven must not be revealed.]
Hearing this, Ji Xiaoli became even more curious. What kind of surprise was so mysterious?
But the system had gone silent, and Ji Xiaoli could only guess on her own.
Just as Ji Xiaoli was feeling confused, Jesse came to the filming set to look for her in person.
"Ms. Ji, long time no see."
Ji Xiaoli was very surprised to see Jesse. "Long time no see, Jesse. Why are you here?"
Jesse smiled. "I'm here to thank you!"
These words left Ji Xiaoli stunned, and she took a while to react.
Seeing Ji Xiaoli's expression, Jesse readily told her the reason.
"Ms. Ji, I followed your advice. That investment really paid off, and there was a substantial profit. I was really surprised, so I came to find you right away."
So it was about the investment!
Ji Xiaoli nodded in understanding. "It's nothing. You deserve this profit."
On the surface, Ji Xiaoli looked calm, but inside she was extremely proud.
Come on, it was a project that the system had approved. How could it not succeed? If the profit was small, she would have been suspicious!
But to Jesse, Ji Xiaoli's calm appearance seemed like she was confident. His good impression of Ji Xiaoli immediately increased.
Jesse insisted on giving Ji Xiaoli all the credit. "It's all because of you, Ms. Ji. If it weren't for your advice, I definitely wouldn't have been the dark - horse this time. You're really amazing!"
Ji Xiaoli could only smile helplessly. It had nothing to do with her. It was all because she had a cheat - like system. Otherwise, she wouldn't have achieved such success.
But she couldn't let others know about the system, so Ji Xiaoli changed the subject.
"By the way, Jesse, why are you here? The filming set doesn't allow visitors, right? How did you get in?"
After the initial excitement, Ji Xiaoli remembered this question.
Jesse said, "Can't I come in? I just walked in."
A big question mark appeared above Ji Xiaoli's head. What was going on?
The director on the side stepped forward. "Jesse and I are friends. I heard he was looking for you, so I brought him here."
Seeing the director, Ji Xiaoli immediately understood.
The director needed popularity to promote the drama!
Jesse, who was well - known, came on his own. How could the director refuse? It was obvious that the director was trying to ride on Jesse's popularity!
Jesse's success as a dark - horse in this investment had indeed attracted a lot of attention.
When Jesse followed Ji Xiaoli's advice and invested in that unpopular project, many people mocked him.
They all said that Jesse had trusted the wrong person and would surely suffer this time. Even his close associates didn't think highly of this investment and constantly advised him to back out.
But when the results came out, Jesse became the biggest winner as a dark - horse.
This result was like a slap in the face of those people. Now they didn't even dare to make a sound.
On the Internet, Jesse's popularity reached a new height because of this investment success.
Many netizens believed in Jesse and even called him the "God of Investment".
The profits from this series of investments even stunned Jesse, who was already very wealthy.
This was the reason why Jesse was so excited. It was a doubling of his money. He had invested tens of billions, almost half of his fortune, and Ji Xiaoli had helped him double it.
That's why Jesse valued Ji Xiaoli so much and came to share the results with her without delay.
Ji Xiaoli didn't think it was a big deal. After all, with such a powerful system, anything was possible.
But the people on the filming set had different thoughts.
The director looked at Ji Xiaoli with even more respect. To him, Ji Xiaoli was like a god of wealth.
The others were also very shocked when they looked at Ji Xiaoli, their eyes full of curiosity.
Was Ji Xiaoli's success rate due to her incredible luck or her real ability?
Some of those who liked Ji Xiaoli were proud of her and felt honored with her success.
In any case, Ji Xiaoli's status on the filming set was gradually rising to the top.
Only Shen Wei, who had just come to apologize, stood pale - faced in a corner, glaring at Ji Xiaoli with hatred.
How could this happen? Why had Ji Xiaoli become so popular? What status would she have in the filming set from now on?
She had been forced to come and apologize before, but now she didn't dare to say a word. She could only try to make herself as invisible as possible, afraid of being noticed by others.
