Pei Xiao was confused and paused. This was obviously the first time he called Chi Yao in two years.
Why does Chi Yao look so skilled
Putting aside his confusion for the moment, Pei Xiao got straight to the point and said quietly, "Mr. Chi, I know that I have offended you before... I didn't expect that I would meet you that day. If I made you unhappy, it's my fault."
Chi Yao said: "I feel uncomfortable as soon as I see you."
Pei Xiao said sorry repeatedly: "Mr. Chi, I retired from the industry for two years and stopped filming. You also got my business card. I am now working behind the scenes as an agent. I promise you, I will pay attention in advance next time, If you are here, I will stay away immediately and will not obstruct your eyes."
Chi Yao chuckled, noncommittal, and arrogant, as if he was condescendingly teasing a kitten or puppy.
Pei Xiao knew that he was throwing an egg at a stone, and he was overestimating his own capabilities. He gritted his teeth and explained his purpose: "Mr. Chi, you have a lot of people. Can you be noble and let me live?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone. Pei Xiao was so nervous that he held his breath and his heart was in his throat. Then he heard Chi Yao ask slowly: "Why let you live?"
Chi Yao's tone of voice was very harsh, as if he was mocking him, which made Pei laugh anxiously. He couldn't help scolding him in his heart. It's okay to bully others. Is it necessary to be so mocking
Pei Xiao suppressed his irritability and said patiently: "It's just about my work. Please don't make things difficult for me."
Chi Yao blurted out: "I didn't understand, I didn't make things difficult for you."
Pei Xiao was stunned when he heard this. His face instantly turned red and he was ashamed.
ah? Is he looking for the wrong person to be his enemy? ? ? So it wasn’t Chi Yao who did it? ?
Then he doesn't remember that he has... No, he has several other enemies. Scratching your head. That was not done by Chi Yao, who could have done it
Pei Xiao quickly nodded and bowed to apologize, he was so embarrassed that he was about to hang himself: "Yes, I'm sorry, Mr. Chi, I made a mistake. I, the boy group I lead is going to debut on a show in a few days, and today the director suddenly informed me, saying Someone said hello and refused to let us in. I judge a gentleman with a villain's heart... I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."
Chi Yao didn't hang up the phone and listened quietly to what he said. As if he just remembered it, he said abruptly: "Oh, so you said this."
He confidently added: "I did this."
Pei smiled stupidly, there seemed to be a buzzing in his ears, and a stream of blood rushed to his head.
I will kill you in three seconds! ! !
Pei Xiao pressed his chest, covered his voice hole, and chanted Amitabha in a low voice repeatedly to calm down.
Killing is not good. Killing is not good. You can't go to hell for such a fool. It's not worth it.
Be patient and the storm will be calm.
If he doesn't think about himself, he also has to think about those young children, and he can't ruin their future.
Pei Xiao had no choice but to go back and continue to apologize: "You...it turns out that you forgot accidentally. Can you please be more tolerant and let us go?"
Chi Yao didn't even hesitate and answered decisively and ruthlessly: "No."
Pei Xiao covered his face and calmed down his mood. He gritted his teeth. After a while, he said, "Then I won't disturb you anymore. Goodbye."
Chi Yao seemed to have something more to say: "You..."
Pei Xiao's head started to heat up and he directly pressed the hang up button.
So angry. So angry.
Even if he has a good temper, he wouldn't be such a bully, would he
The main reason is that he feels ashamed to face several children and his boss, after working so hard to prepare for so long, he is about to make his debut.
The cruelest thing in the world is to make a complacent person lose all hope.
Although he was not familiar with Chi Yao, it was not difficult for him to find out from Chi Yao's actions that he was a narrow-minded person, because his precious virginity that he had kept for more than twenty years was broken. Kill him to death.
It’s not like he did it on purpose, he doesn’t want to do this kind of loss-making business!
Pei Xiaowu was angry for a long time and went to find his boss.
The boss of Lingyu Entertainment Company is named Chen. Although Lao Chen knows nothing about the entertainment industry, he is lucky. His first investment was because he liked a novel. When he saw that he had no money to make a movie, he was looking for investment, so He spent his own money to add a share, and as a result, the cold-themed movie that no one was optimistic about at the time became a big hit, earning him ten times the profit.
Lao Chen discovered that in the entertainment industry, money comes in very quickly and it’s so cool. From then on it was out of control.
Pei Xiao went to find Lao Chen and asked politely: "Mr. Chen, do you know anyone from the Chi family?"
Old Chen asked: "Which Chi family is it?"
Pei smiled and replied: "It's the Chi Group, the one that deals in real estate, building materials and shipping..."
Old Chen laughed: "Haha? Why do you want to introduce me to him? I don't know him. What's going on?"
Pei Xiao's heart was beating wildly and he lied: "I don't know him either. It's okay. It's just that I have a friend who offended someone from the Chi family and is being targeted now. Let me help you find out. Do you know Chi Yao?"
Old Chen said with a smile: "I know, I know him, but he doesn't know me, the prince of the Chi family. Isn't it him who your friend offended? That's terrible... "
Pei Xiao couldn't bear to listen anymore and asked tangledly: "What?"
Lao Chen said: "Everyone who offends him is miserable, but most people won't offend him for no reason, right?"
Pei Xiao hung up the phone worriedly and went to the practice room again.
Several trainees are still training hard, and Pei Xiao knows that they will practice independently until at least twelve o'clock every day.
It is better to die early than to die late, Pei Xiao thought for a while and simply let them be mentally prepared.
In the proving ground of the entertainment industry, this is not the most cruel thing, but I didn't expect that this would be their first lesson before they even debuted.
Pei Xiao was in a solemn mood when he entered the room, and several children also felt it. Pei Xiao turned off the recorder, clapped his hands, and asked them to stop: "I have something to tell you."
Everyone had an ominous premonition and looked at each other.
"Brother Pei, what's wrong?"
"Good news or bad news, Brother Pei, don't be like this, it's a bit scary."
"I'm starting to get nervous..."
Pei Xiao said seriously: "Your debut stage may be ruined."
In an instant, the practice room fell into a dead silence, and even the sound of breathing seemed to have disappeared.
No one could laugh, only the boy's sweat slipped from his chin and hit the floor, drop by drop, making an insignificant and broken sound.
Only Pei Xiao's calm voice was left in the practice room: "I'm still thinking of ways to give you a chance, but it may or may not work. I can't guarantee it."
torment.
Seconds are like years.
I don’t know how long it took, but Cui Xueyan asked softly: “Brother, what happened? Did someone trip you up?”
Pei Xiao stopped talking and said sincerely: "Don't think so wildly. It's all my fault. I'm not capable enough."
After saying that, Cui Xueyan suddenly broke down and burst into tears, crying so hard.
Originally, other people in the group also felt uncomfortable, but he cried so hard that everyone quickly comforted him:
"Look at me, I have failed in my second debut, just get used to it."
"Don't cry. The worst possible outcome is that you won't be on TV or doing road shows."
"Damn, you're making me want to cry too."
Pei Xiao can especially understand Cui Xueyan. This child is good-looking but has a bad background. He is a single-parent family. The family is poor and his father is a worker. What he wrote on the volunteer form was very straightforward, saying that he joined the circle so that his family could live a good life.
Pei Xiao sent a few children back to their dormitory. The company didn't have much money, so they said food and accommodation were included, but the dormitory rented to them was certainly not that good. It was more than 40 square meters in one room and one living room, and the bedroom had two bunk beds for sleeping. , a monthly living allowance of 1,000 yuan is provided.
With one thousand yuan, what can you do in a first-tier city like S City
Pei Xiao thought about how he had gone through hardships when he was young, but he was soon corrupted by capitalism and lived in a big villa owned by various financial sponsors.
It's probably because he himself is not clean. This man wants whatever he lacks. He hopes that his children can behave as cleanly as possible. He is already dirty, and even being dirtier will not hinder him.

A sleepless night.
Early the next morning, Cui Xueyan woke up at six o'clock, while other teammates were still sleeping. He asked, "I'm going to buy you breakfast. What do you want to eat?"
His teammates reported it casually.
Cui Xueyan went downstairs. He cried for most of the night yesterday and didn't sleep. His eyes were red and swollen today. He squatted by the curb and made a phone call: "...Hello? Brother."
It was Chi Yao's cold voice that sounded on the other end of the phone: "I just came back from my morning exercise. I want to take a shower. I'll get back to you after I take a shower."
Cui Xueyan said "Oh" and hung up the phone obediently.
Chi Yao is an extremely self-disciplined person. He gets up at 5:30 every morning, does morning exercise for an hour, takes a shower, then drinks a cup of black coffee or black tea with a Western breakfast, reads the newspaper while eating, and finishes at 7 o'clock to start work. .
As precise as a robot, unbeatable.
Cui Xueyan knew because he was Chi Yao's half-brother. When he was a child, his brother would wake him up from bed early in the morning and run with him crying.
Although his brother was rude, he kept his word. Since he said he would call back, he just waited.
Cui Xueyan ordered a small wonton at the breakfast shop. After finishing the small wonton, his brother called.
Cui Xueyan was as afraid of his brother as a mouse is of a cat. He had never contacted anyone there since he left home, but the matter of his debut was too serious. He mustered up the courage to ask: "Brother, are you and the TV station People say they won’t let me perform in the group’s show?”
He heard the sound of an iron spoon hitting the wall of the porcelain cup. It must be Chi Yao stirring the salt for black coffee. Even Chi Yao's voice sounded bitter and salty: "Yes."
"Going to be an actor, it's embarrassing."
Cui Xueyan was still a seventeen-year-old child after all. He wanted to cry again. He sniffed, held back his tears, and said aggrievedly: "I'm not an actor, and I don't film. I'm an idol. I only sing and dance."
"Then we might as well be filming." Chi Yao said, "Let's not talk about it for now. I just have something to ask you."
Cui Xueyan was at a loss, but she heard Chi Yao ask: "That manager of yours... Pei Xiao, are you familiar with him?"
At this moment.
In the Chi family mansion, Chi Yao did not have the usual financial newspaper in front of him, but a piece of information.
The photo posted in the photo column was Pei Xiao's photo.
This is Pei Xiao's information.
Chi Yao tapped the table, suppressed his anxiety, and pretended to be indifferent and said, "Tell me about Pei Xiao."
