Pei Huai turned around when he heard the voice and saw Shen Mu standing at the door. His expression instantly turned dark, just like the day he interrogated Su Qianrou. “What did you hear?”
What a sleaze.
Shen Mu pulled his chin up and shook his head like a rattle drum. “I didn’t hear anything!”
He heard it!
He heard it all!
What kind of plot twist was that?
The boss’ reply just now was so flirtatious that it was immoral.
But after a moment, he realized that he was scamming the young lady!
Who said that his boss knew nothing about love?
Wasn’t it self-taught when he met Ms. Su?

The next day, the result of the first round of the competition was posted in the hall.
There was always a group of people who would gather around the board and discuss the result.
The topic of discussion was always about Su Ji and Meng Na.
The reason was that the result was really surprising.
During breaktime, Meng Na received a call from Chen Jing, asking her to go to the company for a meeting to discuss her new song.
She was touched when she thought that the company was still willing to give her a chance after she lost the competition. In the end, when she arrived, she found that Su Ji was also there.
They had read the comments online and decided to let the two of them work together to release an adapted single.
She knew that the netizens wanted Su Ji to produce the complete adapted version. She did not expect them to really do it.
She couldn’t accept this decision at all. She pulled her jacket and pretended to be calm. “This is my song, why should I change it?”
Chen Jing’s attitude towards her was clearly not as nice as before. She shook her head helplessly. “We can’t force you to do it. If you don’t want to, then we…won’t release the song.”
If she had not insisted on challenging Su Ji, things would not have turned out this way.
After what happened, Chen Jing’s attitude towards Su Ji changed.
Meng Na froze, and her pretty face turned pale.
After weighing the pros and cons, she clenched her hands into fists and said, “fine I’ll…”
After all, she was not against Su Ji’s adaptation.
Who knew Su Ji, who had been silent all this while, said, “don’t force yourself. I haven’t agreed to do it yet!”
Meng Na was speechless.
Seeing that Chen Jing didn’t say anything, she finally reacted.
If she wanted to release a new song, not only did she have to agree to Su Ji’s help, but she also had to ask for her help!
It was the complete opposite of what it was before!
On the way back to Kyokushin, Meng Na and Su Ji sat on opposite sides.
Meng Na looked at Su Ji a few times, but she could not bring herself to speak.
She had provoked Su Ji many times, but she had lost terribly. Now, she could not even lift her head in front of Su Ji. How could she ask her for help?
Meng Na was the only one who was troubled. Su Ji closed her eyes and rested, remaining calm and collected.
The car stopped at the entrance of the school. The two got out of the car. Just as Meng Na mustered up her courage and was about to speak, Su Ji saw a car that had been appearing frequently on camera recently.
“I have to go.” Su Ji walked straight to the car.
Meng Na had been thinking about how to start the conversation the whole time, but now the words were all stuck in her throat.
Pei Huai’s car was fully tinted, so no one could see the inside.
Su Ji was used to getting in the car from the back door, but when she opened it, she found that the back door was locked. The window of the passenger seat was lowered, and a deep voice was heard, “sit in the front passenger seat.”
“Oh, okay,” Su Ji responded.
She felt that it didn’t make a difference whether she sat in the front or the back, but she didn’t know that she was the first one who could sit in the front passenger seat!
Even Pei Qingshen had never enjoyed such treatment.
Su Ji fastened her seat belt and looked at him with a smile. “I’ve been busy with the competition recently, so I might not be able to eat with you often. ”
Pei Huai turned to look at her.
Ever since he had gotten close to Su Ji as her “sister” last night, his identity as a man had been deteriorating.
However, he had to admit that he had a much more regular meal schedule since Su Ji started eating with him.
In the morning, before he left the house, even his grandfather thought that he looked better.
Su Ji saw a beautiful stone lion ornament in front of the man’s car and reached out to touch it.
“Do you like it?” Pei Huai glanced at her.
Su Ji nodded her head. She liked this kind of old-fashioned and luxurious decoration.
It was similar to the treasures that she had.
“Why don’t you make it a pair?” Su Ji asked.
Pei Huai’s lips curled up. “There’s something special about this. One is for blessing, two is to guard the grave.”
Su Ji nodded calmly. No wonder she found them familiar. There were indeed two similar ones in front of her tomb, but they were big.
This thing was exquisitely carved. Most importantly, it was to bring blessing and peace.
Pei Huai must also value this ornament.
Su Ji suddenly thought of something and asked, “where did you get it? Do you have a contact?”
Pei Huai raised his brows and said faintly, “why?”
“I like it and want to buy one,” Su Ji gave an excuse.
Pei Huai turned the steering wheel. “I’ll help you buy it later.”
“Okay, how much is it? I’ll transfer the amount to you. ”
Pei Huai calmly sized her up for a moment. If he said he didn’t want money, it would seem too obvious.
But how much should he say?
5,800?
58,000?
Or…
A moment later, Pei Huai’s lips curved into a smile and he gave a number he felt was appropriate.
“580.”
The crisp sound of notification came from Pei Huai’s phone.
580 yuan had been transferred into his account.
As expected, Su Ji was very satisfied with the price. “Thank you. It’s really cheap. I’ll buy more from your friend next time.”
Pei Huai smiled and parked his car in front of Godear.
Fortunately, he had a lot of money.
While waiting for the dishes to be served, the two of them sat opposite each other at the long dining table.
While Su Ji was ordering seriously, he found a person’s account on WeChat.
He nicknamed the person “the artisan”.
He told that person that he wanted a custom-made ornament..
The person replied very quickly, “another one? Didn’t you say that it’s inauspicious for it to be in a pair?”
He didn’t speak to him in the respectful tone of an ordinary seller.
However, Pei Huai seemed to be used to it. He said that he was ordering it for someone else.
Then, he transferred a sum of money to him.
580 thousand.
“Aiya, there’s no need to talk about money between us.”
Then, the system notified him that the large amount of money had been received.
Pei Huai felt that he had an affinity with this ornament the first time he saw it, but he didn’t expect her to like it too.
However, she didn’t have a car. Pei Huai guessed that she probably wanted to put it in her room.
After thinking about it, he picked up his phone.
At that moment, he received a new message on TikTok.
[Su Ji: can you give me your address? I want to give you a gift.]
