Chapter 15

Chen Pingping saw LI Zixi's development and excitedly talked beside Li Zixi, not shutting her mouth even after getting out of the taxi: "Xixi, you are really amazing, one show after another show. This is great, you will be on fire soon."

After opening the elevator door, there was a man standing inside, it was Ah Li who hadn't been seen for a long time. Chen Pingping, seeing that there was a stranger, quickly closed her mouth.

Ah Li sees Li Zixi and Chen Pingping and greets happily: "Two beauties, you've been gone for a few days!"

Li Zixi nodded at him.

Ah Li never knew what shameful was, especially when facing beautiful women. H3e stood there alone and said: "By the way, did we bother you again the other day?"

Li Zixi thought about what happened that day, nodded and said: "Indeed, yes."

Chen Pingping stared at Li Zixi with wide eyes, wondering why Xixi didn't tell her about complaining to them. Disturbing people every day! Thinking of this, she glared at Ah Li.

"Aiya, beauty, our boss was also very sorry for what happened on that day, so later he went downstairs to give you a cake and apologize. Unfortunately, beauty may have fallen asleep and didn't hear, or went out?"

He just asked hesitantly. That day, the boss walked through the door with a dark face while holding a cake, he still remembers. He wanted to say, the beauty wasn't opening the door not because she was so angry. Maybe it's not that people don't want to open the door, but that they are not at home.

However, the taste of the cake that day was too sweet and a bit buttery.

Hearing this, Li Zixi became a little interested: "Yes, just happen to have something to go out. Your boss? Who is it?"

Ah Li said with a smile; "Our boss, that's the one you saw who opened the door that day."

Li Zi Xi thought of the outstanding man she saw that day, with eyebrows raised, she said, "It turns out that person is your boss."

Ah Li nodded and said, "Yes, that's our boss, he is the owner, we are the little followers."

Li Zixi nodded. She likes watching handsome guys, but never thought of having a handsome guy her own. These handsome men, just appreciate them. So, she didn't mean anything about inquiring. It's okay for her, doesn't mean that the other party is okay with it.

"But, beauty, don't you know our boss?" Ah Li couldn't help but ask the doubt in his heart.

Li Zixi looked at Ah Li inexplicably, and said: "Don't know... when did I see him, but I forgot?" Then, she smiled shyly, "I have a bad memory." Li Zi Xi was so nervous, she almost got exposed. She has no memory of the original owner, if they knew each other, it would be embarrassing.

But looking at the man's expression that day, it didn't look like they met before.

Ah Li nodded and said, "Oh, oh, that, should be not acquainted. By the way, beauty, what song do you usually listen to?"

Li Zixi thinks something is weird, but can't say anything. She laughed and said: "I rarely listen to songs."

Ah Li finally nodded with understanding, thinking in his heart, it's no wonder that she didn't know their boss.

Chen Pingping stood between Li Zixi and Ah Li all this time, watching Ah Li with guard.

After arriving at the 23rd floor, Li Zixi and Chen Pingping walked out of the elevator. After seeing the elevator door closed, Chen Pingping whispered: "Xixi, what kind of weirdo is your upstairs neighbor, very odd."

Li Zixi agreed with Chen Pingping's words for the first time and nodded and said, "I think so too."

While upstairs, Ah Li saw the boss and said, "Dong ge, I've already asked for you about it. The beauty downstairs didn't intentionally not open the door, just went out temporarily for something, so you don't have to be depressed."

Ye Handong looked at him coldly and said: "On which eye you saw me depressed!"

Ah Li thought inwardly, I saw with both eyes.

After packing up stuffs, the next afternoon, Li Zixi and Chen Pingping went to Hengzhou. This time, don't know how long the stay in Hengzhou will be. After filming director Jin's drama, next is director Wang's web drama.

While waiting for the plane at the airport, Li Zixi finally couldn't help but call Wang jie.

This matter, she pondered for two days and finally came up with a decision.

She wanted to cut down Chen Yan; this is to understand how deep her background really is through this matter. To say the least, even if Chen Yan can't be suppressed, she can more or less understand the strength of her backer.

After hanging up, Wang jie frowned. This is just a small thing. Don't want to let a supporting role to act, Muzi Pictures can solve it in minutes.

However, she is also a little curious about Li Zixi's background. So direct into making this request to her, as a newcomer, won't it be too late at this point? She just felt that Li Zixi was not as arrogant as she was when they first met. Didn't expect that good times would not last long. Did the old condition relapse within a few days?

You know, many big names can't decide who will be on the crew. Even if you hate that actor, still have to endure her.

Thinking of this, Wang jie went to her head's office.

Wang jie smiled and said, "Li Zixi made a request, I don't know if I should agree or not."

When the man heard Li Zixi's name, he raised his head and asked, "What's the request?"

Wang jie said, "She is shooting a web drama, but there is an actress in it who has had a small friction with her. She wants to replace the actress."

After the person heard this, he frowned and said: "Since she is not in harmony with Li Zixi, Muzi Pictures will not look for this actress to film in the future. Do you still need to ask me about such trivial matters?"

Wang jie was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Okay, excuse me. You're busy, I'm going out." Walking out of the office, Wang jie's heart is still kept on jumping, where did Li Zixi, this ancestor, come from? Hope this ancestor will make less mess for her in the future.

Wang jie returned to her office and gave Wang Chen a call. Although Wang Chen was a little unhappy about Muzi Pictures' meddling, he still thought about it as a small performer, he readily agreed. After getting a positive answer, Wang jie sent a message to Li Zixi.

Reading the message received on the phone, Li Zixi's lips rose up. Have the power not to be a *bastard! This kind of flies that only buzz and bark should be driven away, stopping from crying out when they want

[*bastard/son of a bitch – Direct translation would be king of eight eggs. It was said that being called 蛋 (egg) is already insulting in itself. 王八 refers to turtle which insinuates being a cuckold.

Li Zixi boarded the plane in a good mood.

On the plane, Li Zixi opened the script and continued to read it. Although this character has not much scenes, it cannot be ignored, it is a big production after all. There is too little time left for her to prepare, so she can only read when she has free time.

This drama takes place in the Ming Dynasty, a series of stories about power struggles of Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, this drama's major role is the male lead, with not many female roles and these roles are not too heavy.

The female number one is Empress Xu, the female number two is Zhu Di's favorite consort Quan, and the female number three is Princess Yong'an. Princess Yong'an is Zhu Di's daughter born by the Empress Xu, married to Yuan Rong, Marquis Guangping. Female number four is Princess Yongping, married to Li Rang, Marquis Fuyang.

Li Zixi's role originally was the female number four, Princess Yongping. But because the actor of the female number three Princess Yongan had something, Wu Xinran turned down the role. So Li Zixi was temporarily put to the position of the female number three.

The author has something to say:

Which one is more annoying, the lion in the distance or the flies nearby? Flies are more disgusting, lions are more terrifying. It is useless to say more, can only fight the flies right now, hahaha~ So to say, strength rules.

Continuation: There were two different explanations that I found and I'm not sure which one is right.

As explained before, 王八 refers to turtle, then 王八蛋 would mean a turtle's child. So it suggests that your mother had you with another man. Basically a bastard.

王八蛋 came from the old chinese 忘八端 which would translate to forget the eight points that make a person. You can read the eight points on their answer if you're interested.
