Chapter 26: Misunderstanding is Big!

Lu Jinzhao hesitated and wanted to speak but stopped, finally deciding to make things clear.

"It's like this, Miss Shen. The two-thousand-yuan budget we publicize to the outside world is actually the minimum budget, a conservative estimate. In fact, it must be more than that. After all, the male and female leads alone have to share nearly 5,000 yuan in remuneration. You also said just now that you want to help me fill in the remaining money, so I still feel that I have to make these actual situations clear to Miss Shen."

Shen Ci understood. Lu Jinzhao's meaning was clearly hinting that the hole was still very big, fearing that the number he would say in a while would scare her.

She smiled calmly: "Mr. Lu, just say a number."

Lu Jinzhao's throat moved, as if weighing how much to report in his heart. He was really afraid that he would scare Shen Ci away.

But for the sake of the project, he gritted his teeth and said the number in his mind: "Ten thousand yuan!"

As if fearing Shen Ci would go back on her word, he hurriedly added: "Miss Shen, you invest more, and the later returns will be more. We are very confident in this project, you must believe us."

Looking at his eager and terrified appearance, the smile on Shen Ci's face grew even stronger.

Just nodding lightly, she said: "No problem, as long as my sister can get the role, my ten-thousand-yuan investment will arrive in three days."

Didn't expect Shen Ci to agree so readily. Lu Jinzhao, Xiao Man, and Feng Shan were all shocked and stunned.

In the end, Xiao Man was the first to come back to her senses and hurriedly ordered Feng Shan: "Feng Shan, decide on this role immediately. You are more familiar with the school, so you go communicate, but our starring lineup has to wait until the press conference to be announced. Remember to do a good job of confidentiality."

"Understood, understood, I will contact their teacher now." Feng Shan nodded repeatedly, subconsciously looking at Shen Ci twice more.

He had never seen someone so young but with such a strong aura. That ten thousand yuan seemed like one yuan in her eyes.

Seeing this, Shen Ci said at the right time: "Mr. Lu, our cooperation must also be kept confidential. I like to make a fortune in silence, so don't let others know, including my sister."

A-Li was naturally sensitive and inferior. If she knew these things, she might not really be happy.

Lu Jinzhao understood Shen Ci's meaning and gave Feng Shan a look, and Feng Shan knew what to do.

And just at this time, a commotion suddenly came from the main entrance of the banquet hall, as if someone was arguing at the door.

The guests looked over out of curiosity subconsciously, but unfortunately, the main entrance was closed, and only some arguing sounds could be heard faintly, but they couldn't hear what had happened.

Lu Jinzhao got up upon seeing this: "Miss Shen, sit for a while, I'll go see what's going on."

Outside the banquet hall door, Li Xiao, wrapped in anger, was blocked outside the door by two security guards.

"Sir, this is a private cocktail party inside. You cannot enter without an invitation letter."

"Sir, you cannot force your way in, otherwise we will violently expel you, please understand!"

Li Xiao's eyes were red, as if a ball of fire was burning behind him. He suppressed his anger and said in a low voice: "I'm just going in to find someone, and I'll be out right away!"

At this time, Lin Biqi, who had been waiting for a long time, appeared quickly. After running to Li Xiao's side, she deliberately pulled him: "Brother Li Xiao, it's useless. This kind of high-end cocktail party must have an invitation letter. Your ex-girlfriend is quite powerful, the one she hooked up with is clearly a character."

Her words had just fallen when Lu Jinzhao happened to walk out from inside.

Lin Biqi recognized this person as the man who was with Shen Ci just now, and shouted excitedly, pointing at him: "Brother Li Xiao, it's him!"

Lu Jinzhao hadn't had time to ask clearly when the manic man in front of him rushed up and grabbed his collar.

Li Xiao's mind flashed with Shen Ci's sexy back in the photo, and his jealousy instantly made him go crazy: "You dare to touch my woman!"

With a low roar, he raised his fist and landed a heavy punch.

This punch was sudden and fierce. Lu Jinzhao hadn't reacted when he took a solid punch on his cheek, and his whole body fell to one side, fortunately being supported by the quick-eyed security guard.

Another security guard came back to his senses and pounced on him directly, but his build was far less tall and big than Li Xiao's. He tried to knock him down but found it was useless.

Taking advantage of the door Lu Jinzhao had just opened, Li Xiao, who had lost his mind, shouted loudly: "Shen Ci! Shen Ci, come out!"

Lu Jinzhao only felt stars in his eyes, and the left half of his cheek instantly swelled up high.

Lin Biqi looked at Li Xiao's current madness and flashed a look of success in her eyes. What white moonlight, bah!

She would soon make her lose face in front of everyone.

The sudden chaotic scene at the door also attracted the attention of the people inside, especially Shen Ci, who heard someone calling her name, and hurriedly came to the door with Xiao Man.

"Li Xiao?"

Seeing Li Xiao here, Shen Ci was also very surprised, but when he saw the high-swollen cheek of Lu Jinzhao, her expression darkened instantly.

Li Xiao looked at Shen Ci. She was beautiful beyond compare, but she was blooming for others, which only made him feel dazzling.

His eyes were bloodshot and he was about to rush forward, but he was startled by Xiao Man's scream.

"Husband!"

Xiao Man saw Lu Jinzhao's wretched appearance and ran over in horror: "Oh my god! How could this be, are you okay?"

Someone behind reacted and hurriedly said to the waiter: "Go get some ice cubes to reduce the swelling for General Manager Lu."

Husband?

This man's wife is also here?

Then what is going on with that photo?

If it's an improper relationship, letting Shen Ci appear in an occasion where the wife is also present, that's too blatant.

Li Xiao is not stupid. Xiao Man's appearance made him gradually sober up, and his expression afterward was exceptionally wonderful.

The anger on his face hadn't completely dissipated, first filled with some doubts, and then showing some unease.

Lin Biqi was also stupid. What's the situation? Why is this man's wife also here?

She noticed Brother Li Xiao's expression and knew that she might have made a mistake.

It's over, she caused trouble!

But the arrow had left the bow, she gritted her teeth and decided to break the jar, pointing at Shen Ci and accusing loudly: "Shen Ci, you are really shameless, hooking up with other men behind Brother Li Xiao's back!"

"Shut up!"

It would have been better if Lin Biqi hadn't spoken. As soon as she opened her mouth, Li Xiao's fire, which was about to dissipate, "creaked" and rose again, and he roared at her immediately.

Lin Biqi was startled and immediately stopped talking.

Shen Ci withdrew her gloomy gaze, turned around, and walked to Lu Jinzhao's side with an apologetic expression: "Mr. Lu, I'm really sorry, please call the police!"

Being punched for no reason, and still hitting the face so solidly, no one would feel good in their heart.

But the other party was someone Miss Shen knew. Lu Jinzhao had just pulled ten thousand yuan of investment, and he didn't want any matter to affect the investment result.

So although his expression was extremely bad, he still said: "No need, Miss Shen, there might be a misunderstanding in this."

Misunderstanding?

Misunderstanding is big!

But this punch couldn't be settled with just a misunderstanding.

Shen Ci took out her phone expressionlessly: "I'll call for you!"

Are there any monthly tickets, babies? I really need them, please.
