I Refused to Be a Substitute, and Shot to Fame on a Variety Show With My Mother-In-Law

Chapter 334: Come and Tell Li Xiwu the Truth

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After returning to the company, Li Xiwu immediately turned into a workaholic.

Other than the meeting, there were two other producers to meet. While chatting with the producer, Li Xiwu learned about the recent market trend. In the end, she also recommended her new artist, Xue Jinzhu, to the producer.

After the producer saw Xue Jinzhu’s personal information, although he did not express his dissatisfaction, the meaning in his words was obvious. Xue Jinzhu was a newcomer and could not hold up the female lead role for the time being.

At this moment, Qi Jiangchi added faintly, “With her current qualifications, she indeed can’t hold up the female lead’s scenes, but her father’s money can.” As soon as he said this, the eyes of the two producers instantly cleared.

Just a second ago, they were clearly despising Xue Jinzhu for being a pure newcomer who had just debuted and no experience. She could not hold the position of the female lead. However, in the next second, the two producers expressed that she could audition and see the effect in the end.

In other words, as long as she auditioned, she would be able to get the female lead.

Li Xiwu glanced sideways at Qi Jiangchi. He smiled meaningfully, looking like he was watching a good show.

In the end, Li Xiwu accepted the script handed over by the producer and implicitly said that she would tell Xue Jinzhu about these two scripts when she returned. Then, she would choose a time to audition.

The two producers were grinning from ear to ear. They were here today to talk about the female lead, but they hadn’t expected to talk about the investors.

After the two producers left, Li Xiwu placed the notebook in her hand on the table. “At this rate, I can retire early as a manager.”

Qi Jiangchi crossed his long legs on the table and sat lazily. “This is the treatment of a pay-to-win contestant. Go ahead and support Little Xue. Old Xue will pay for everything.”

Li Xiwu smiled and was about to get up.

Qi Jiangchi stopped her. “Are you feeling better?”

Li Xiwu said, “Thank you for your concern, President Qi. I’m much better.”

“I can tell. Look at the aura you gave off during the meeting just now.” Qi Jiangchi smiled. “As expected of an outstanding diplomat selected by the country.”

Li Xiwu choked and looked over to correct her. “President Qi, in my position, I’m an artist manager.”

Qi Jiangchi smiled and raised his hand to touch his chin. “Li Xiwu, you’re really hiding your strength. As a national diplomat, you actually stay in my small media company and suffer. What kind of incense did I offer?”

Li Xiwu corrected him again. “In the three years I’ve been in Hua Guan, I’ve never complained about being aggrieved. I like this place very much.”

“Yes, yes, yes.” Qi Jiangchi smiled apologetically. “I knew you still liked this place.”

Li Xiwu smiled. The atmosphere was just right.

Qi Jiangchi did not ask about Li Xiwu’s background. He didn’t have such a hobby. To Qi Jiangchi, as long as Li Xiwu was still the same Li Xiwu, everything else was not that important.

Li Xiwu took her cell phone and looked at the time. It was still early. She chatted with Qi Jiangchi about the annual meeting. Before she left, she said, “Although the program is over, I might still be delayed for two days. I have something to deal with. I’ll tell you.”

She could not delay her plan to go to Country T. Otherwise, there would be trouble.

Qi Jiangchi frowned. “Before or after the annual meeting?

Li Xiwu said, “Before the annual meeting.”

Qi Jiangchi waved his hand. “That’s fine. As long as you’re here at the annual meeting. I still have to rely on you.”

Li Xiwu said, “President Qi, you flatter me.”

“What do you mean by flattery? That’s what it is.” Qi Jiangchi mentioned, “Originally, you should be Boss Li at this year’s annual meeting, but with the matter of Ji Weiling, it has to be delayed. When Xue Jinzhu becomes popular, you can naturally become Boss Li.”

Li Xiwu wanted to say something. “I…”

“Don’t!” Qi Jiangchi interrupted Li Xiwu. “You might return to your original position one day, but before you leave, you have to leave some strong impression in my company.” Li Xiwu smiled. “Then I can’t let President Qi down.”

Qi Jiangchi said, “It’s a deal.”

Li Xiwu agreed.

At this moment, her phone rang. Qi Jiangchi said jokingly, “Your man is urging you to go home.”

Li Xiwu thought so too. She took the cell phone and saw that it was not Pei

Jingzhou. It was Yuanyuan. She picked it up. “What’s wrong?”

Yuanyuan said, “Miss Li, someone is looking for you. He said his name is Cai Buqu.”

Hearing this name, Li Xiwu slowly stood up. “I understand. I’ll be down immediately.”

Qi Jiangchi looked thoughtful. “Who is looking for you?”

From Li Xiwu’s expression, he knew that Pei Jingzhou was not here to pick her up. Someone else was looking for Li Xiwu.

Li Xiwu put away her cell phone and left in a hurry. As she walked, she replied,

“It’s Old Master Cai, my former butler.”

Qi Jiangchi raised his eyebrows and did not ask further. He watched Li Xiwu disappear at the door.

Downstairs.

At the office.

Cai Buqu was already sitting on the sofa waiting. Yuanyuan made him a cup of black tea, and Cai Buqu thanked her. Li Xiwu pushed open the door and entered. She stopped when she saw the old man sitting on the sofa.

Yuanyuan walked over and said, “Miss Li, he’s Old Master Cai. He said that he’s only looking for you.”

Li Xiwu nodded. “I understand. You can leave first.

Yuanyuan nodded and left.

Cai Buqu stood up and looked at Li Xiwu, who was standing at the door. “Miss Li, long time no see.”

Li Xiwu smiled faintly and walked over to greet him. “Hello, Mr. Cai.”

Cai Buqu replied with a hello and sat down. The scholar’s elegant figure sat very straight.

Li Xiwu had always felt that Old Master Cai was friendly. Only now did she know that he was an elder who had watched her grow up. She sat down opposite Cai Buqu and did not know what to ask for a moment. After a moment, she could only ask serious questions. “Old Master Cai, why are you looking for me today?”

Cai Buqu looked at Li Xiwu again and sighed with emotion. He stared at her for a moment before saying slowly, “Actually, I should call you Missy.”

Li Xiwu was slightly stunned.

On the way down, she guessed that Old Master Cai must have known, but because he did not have her direct contact number, he could not go to Lake Lu or Tan Hua Manor to see her. He could only come to the company to see her today.

And her guess was confirmed by Cai Buqu.

He said slowly, “I came to ask yesterday. You weren’t at the office. I figured since you’d finished recording that show, you’d be at the office sometime. I didn’t expect to come today. You just happened to be there.”

Li Xiwu pursed her lips and smiled.

Cai Buqu was a little dazed. “When I see you again, it feels like a lifetime ago.” Li Xiwu didn’t reply. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to, but she didn’t know how to respond. Cai Buqu smiled sadly, then said seriously, “Actually, I’m here today to tell Missy something important.” Li Xiwu was curious.. “Something important?”
