Jiang Mian nodded, "Okay, I'll do whatever you want."

Ji Zhixiu touched her head as if caressing a dried fish, "Be good."

…

Jiang Mian was delayed for two days. After work resumed, Director Zhang took special care of her and kept an eye on her wherever she went. When he saw her, he asked cautiously, “How are you doing? Are you okay? Can you still play with Shen Tingyu?"

He was really afraid of the shadow this little girl would leave behind.

Jiang Mian was stunned, "Of course."

"Okay, I'll call her tomorrow."

After making the call, Director Zhang's face dropped with tears, and Jiang Mian said, "What's wrong?"

Director Zhang forced a smile and said, "The scene between you and Chang Min will be filmed tomorrow. As for Shen Tingyu, it's okay not to film it."

The material he shot before could still be used, but as for the subsequent scenes, he no longer wanted Shen Tingyu to appear. It’s okay not to use such an unprofessional actor!

At this time, Shen Tingyu was standing in Luo Fei's office, full of confidence, "How about we make a deal?"

Luo Fei crossed his arms across his chest, a trace of amusement flashing across his eyes, "What do you have worth trading with me for?" His eyes slowly looked over Shen Tingyu, explicit and straightforward.

Shen Tingyu smiled confidently and met his gaze, "I know Mr. Luo doesn't like me, and I also know Mr. Luo wants to get someone. We are in the same boat."

Luo Fei's eyes darkened, "What do you mean?"

"Mingren doesn't tell secrets. I know that Mr. Luo likes Jiang Mian. You look at her in an unusual way. How about I help you?"

Luo Fei raised his eyebrows slightly, "So, you also know that you are Jiang Mian's substitute?"

"What do you mean?" Shen Tingyu was startled.

Luo Fei touched his chin and said, "I thought you were self-aware. I gave you so many resources simply because you are similar to her. But your personality is completely different from hers."

His words were full of longing for Jiang Mian.

Shen Tingyu's mind exploded instantly. This was the biggest joke she had ever heard today. Is she the substitute? Because Luo Fei couldn't get Jiang Mian, so he sought comfort from her?

What could be more ridiculous than this sentence? She always thought that Jiang Mian was her substitute, but now she is Jiang Mian's substitute?

Her expression suddenly changed.

Luo Fei pretended not to notice, "If you can have her wildness and be more obedient, you can follow me."

"I have no interest in Mr. Luo." Shen Tingyu took a deep breath to contain her anger.

"Okay, why are you angry? It's my fault, tell the truth." Luo Fei grinned, "Tell me, what is your plan?"

When it came to business, Shen Tingyu calmed down. "My plan is to destroy Jiang Mian!"

"No." Luo Fei objected, "How can I get her if I destroy her?"

Shen Tingyu felt a little jealous for his protection. She lowered her eyebrows and had already thought about how to persuade him.

"Listen to me first. As long as you ruin Jiang Mian's career, she will have nothing to rely on. At that time, how do you want to get her? Isn't it easy?"

Luo Fei thought about it, but it made sense. He put his hands on his hands and laughed, "I think you and I are quite a match. But then again, how do you want to destroy her?"

"It seems that Mr. Luo knows me very well and already knows that I am going to take action." Shen Tingyu did not respond to his teasing and said instead, “This is where I need your help."

"First of all, we have to find Jiang Mian's weakness." She knew that if it was revealed that Jiang Mian had been secretly married for many years, and if she continued to operate, she might not be able to lose her reputation.

But that man was Ji Zhixiu, and Shen Tingyu knew it all too well. What cannot be revealed is that the power behind him is enough to keep all the media silent.

Even if it breaks out, he can protect that woman from any harm.

Why, she can be so lucky, she wants to make this woman lose all Ji Zhixiu's favor!

"I need you to help me investigate Jiang Mian." Shen Tingyu continued.

Luo Fei nodded, "Okay. But you must tell me before you act."

"What, are you afraid that I will be bad for her?"

Luo Fei said directly, "Of course, your disgust for her is written on your face."

"Is it so obvious?" Shen Tingyu raised her lips and stopped trying to hide it, "Okay, I do hate her."

Even hate.

"No matter what you do, I only want Jiang Mian, this person. You can't hurt her." Luo Fei declared domineeringly.

"Don't worry, what you didn't finish on the Angel Star last time, sooner or later Luo will be able to hug the beauty back home." Shen Tingyu smiled tenderly at him.

After going out, I happened to bump into Liang Qiao. Liang Qiao saw her coming out of Luo Fei's office with an angry look on his face, "Shen Tingyu, shouldn't you be filming on the set at this time?"

"Mr. Luo asked me to come back." She said calmly, and then passed by her.

Liang Qiao watched her leave, her fingers trembling with anger, "Does she not take me seriously? Does she?"

The assistant advised, "Sister Qiao, why are you arguing with her? It's beneath your status."

Liang Qiao felt panicked when she remembered that Shen Tingyu refused to play the female lead in the last drama and she couldn't get her turn. After going round and round, I finally came back to Shen Tingyu.

It was hard for her not to think that Shen Tingyu had tricked her.

The assistant was afraid that she would catch up with her and scold her because of her temper. Liang Qiao gritted her teeth and calmed down for a while, "Forget it."

She and Shen Tingyu are not going to compete, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

Seeing that she was thinking about it, the assistant nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Sister Qiao, this is the way it is. Only in this way can we highlight our grandeur."

Liang Qiao withdrew her gaze and walked towards Luo Fei's office.

After Shen Tingyu returned home, she threw everything on the dressing table to the ground. Listening to the sound of shattering on the ground, she felt a little relieved. She still didn't understand, how could she become Jiang Mian's substitute?

How could Jiang Mian compare to her?

Shen's mother heard the noise and walked into the room, and Shen Tingyu realized that she had lost control of her emotions.

She closed her eyes slightly and said, "I'm sorry, Mom, I'll take care of it later."

Mother Shen said distressedly, "Did something happen? Tell mom."

Shen Tingyu opened her eyes, and two lines of tears fell without any warning. "Mom, how can I marry Ji Zhixiu?"

Mother Shen took her into her arms. She felt uncomfortable seeing her daughter asking for something but not getting it.

"Mom, can you talk to Ji Zhixiu's mother and let him marry me?"

"Ting Yu, you are confused. His mother doesn't like you."

Shen Tingyu smiled bitterly, "Yeah, I almost forgot. He doesn't like me."

"What about Grandpa Ji? He will always listen to what Grandpa Ji says, right?" She seemed to have grasped the last straw.

Seeing that her daughter wanted to marry Ji Zhixiu so much, Ji's mother struggled several times in her heart and finally revealed the secret.

"Actually, if you ask the old man of the Ji family, there is nothing you can do."

Shen Tingyu's eyes lit up, "What can I do, Mom, tell me quickly!"

Shen's mother said, "In the past, your grandfather and Grandpa Ji made a fortune together. The old man of the Ji family was far-sighted and his style of doing things was not as fierce and solo as Ji Zhixiu's. Instead, he left room for everything. In the early days of starting a business, there was a manager because He had a dispute with a client and became mentally disturbed. His family blamed Mr. Ji for the original crime. He was emotional and wanted to kill someone with a knife. Fortunately, your grandfather stopped him."

"Because of this incident, although our family is now far from being comparable to the Ji family, to this day, our two families have always maintained friendly relations."

"Your father only told me this after I married him."

"If you use this matter to ask Ji Zhixiu to marry you, it would seem a bit coercive. The most important thing is, Ting Yu, you know Ji Zhixiu better than I do. Will that man agree?"

Shen Tingyu was overjoyed, but she didn't expect that another village would see a bright future.

She held her mother's hand and said, "Thank you, mom. Thank you for telling me the news. I'm very happy. Don't worry, I won't force him."

She had to think carefully about how to make Ji Zhixiu marry her willingly.

"Mom will support you in whatever you want to do, but the prerequisite is that you don't hurt yourself. Do you understand?"

Shen Tingyu nodded vigorously, of course she would not hurt herself.

…

Ji Zhixiu didn't expect to see his mother sitting in the office when he came back. He looked calm and asked, “Why did mom come here suddenly?"

"Xiu'er, what have you been busy with lately?"

"Of course I'm busy with work."

"Your sister has mentioned that woman to me several times. There is a woman beside you. My mother doesn't object, but when Miss Jing comes back in two days, you can go and receive her on my behalf."

"No." He refused directly.

Ji's mother didn't expect that he would dare to contradict, "Why, you didn't even listen to what I said?"

"Of course I will listen to what mom says. But I don't know this person, why should I receive her?"

"She is your Uncle Jing's only daughter. She has just returned from studying abroad. If you go and meet her, won't you recognize her?"

Ji Zhixiu knew what he meant, so he went on a blind date in a different way, "I'm not interested now."

Ji's mother stood up suddenly, "Do you want to make me angry to death?"

"Mom, didn't you say that I can't get married before I'm thirty?"

"I haven't asked you to get married. You can see if you like it or not. You can talk about it first."

"dislike."

Ji's mother was almost mad at him, but she also understood her son. If he didn't want to do something, it was useless no matter what others said.

Seeing that Ji's mother was really angry, Ji Zhixiu softened his tone and said, "I know mom is doing it for my own good, but instead of introducing me to a partner, mom should pay more attention to Zhilan. After a failed marriage, I want to marry her the second time." Keep your eyes open and don’t make the same mistakes again.”

This call will divert disaster to the east.

Ji's mother picked up the bag from the sofa, "None of you brothers and sisters can make anyone worry!"

She opened the door and walked out, when she bumped into Fan Cheng coming in with documents. Fan Cheng stopped and said, "Hello, madam."

Ji's mother paused and asked, "What has your president been busy with recently?"

Fan Cheng, “Madam, when you have time, you really need to advise the CEO to work every day and not to tire your body out."

Ji's mother nodded, "I understand."

She didn't want to force her son, but she was also afraid that if this woman seduced her son into a fascination, wouldn't it be another disaster?

After all, her son's mind was still on work, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Fan Cheng walked into the office, "I just met Madam."

Ji Zhixiu smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes, and there was no emotion in his voice, "It's hard for my mother to come here to test me."
