Chapter 403

Shen Li's move caused a lump in Fang Qi's heart.

In 'Jin Xiao', let alone her, who could be considered a senior artist, even President Lu had to give Sister Kuan face.

Fang Qi glared at Xiaoyun, and finally revealed a smile with heavy pressure, nodding: "Fine, since the former owner has come to ask for them, I shouldn't be a bully and hold on to them. I wasn't using you comfortably anyway."

She deliberately emphasized the word 'owner', obviously not letting go of the opportunity to insult Xiaoyun at the end.

These two words were truly harsh. Shen Li couldn't help but want to open her mouth, but was secretly held back by Xiaoyun.

Xiaoyun looked at Fang Qi with red eyes and said: "Thank you, Sister Qi!"

Seeing her trying her best to endure, Fang Qi snorted disdainfully and turned away.

"What's going on? Why did she treat you like this?"

Shen Li felt heartbroken and reached out to hold Xiaoyun's hand.

Xiaoyun's grievances finally couldn't be controlled at this moment, and she cried out: "Just because people on the team complained to me privately that she was hard to serve, I talked too much and mentioned you, praising you, saying you were a good person, and she accidentally overheard it."

"Just because of this?" Shen Li was shocked.

Xiaoyun nodded while crying: "Originally, A-Pan and I came later and were doing miscellaneous chores on the sidelines. We had no qualifications to be close to the artist. It was because of this incident that she specifically called me to her side and tortured me in various ways every day."

"A-Li..." Xiaoyun cried and hugged Shen Li, saying gratefully: "It's good that you came, it's good that you came to save me, otherwise I don't know how long I could have lasted."

Xiaoyun cried loudly and wantonly, once again drawing the attention of others on the set.

These people all knew what Xiaoyun had encountered, and most of them felt sympathy for her, but due to Fang Qi's status and position, no one dared to say anything.

After all, they didn't know what had happened, and didn't know how this little assistant had offended Fang Qi.

"Okay, don't cry. Go pack your things and call Brother A-Pan. Come back with me today."

About this matter, Shen Li didn't complain to Sister Kuan. Since Fang Qi dared to do this, she must not be afraid of it spreading.

And she wasn't a child anymore, complaining to the teacher when encountering things; that was too childish. Fang Qi was a big senior, and she wasn't Sister Kuan's artist. Telling Sister Kuan would probably only make her feel embarrassed in the middle.

"Brother A-Pan, are you okay?"

On the way back, Shen Li didn't forget to care about A-Pan.

A-Pan shook his head: "I'm fine, it's just Xiaoyun who was wronged. I didn't expect Fang Qi to be such a person without artistic ethics in private. It's a pity that Xiaoyun was quite happy when she heard she was going to join the cast with her at first."

Xiaoyun looked at Shen Li with some worry: "A-Li, you went against her for us today. A person as petty as her will definitely not let it go easily. I'm afraid she will make things difficult for you in the future."

"We'll talk about the future later. I can't watch you suffer there and turn a blind eye."

"Okay, let's not talk about this." Shen Li patted Xiaoyun's hand and smiled slightly: "I took a new script, joining the cast next month, second female lead, collaborating with Sister Chuhe."

"Really?"

Shen Li nodded: "You will follow me from now on. I won't let the company transfer you to others again."

Xiaoyun and A-Pan looked at each other excitedly upon hearing this, and then nodded vigorously.

A week later, 'Destiny as Phoenix' suddenly parachuted into the summer schedule without any warning. 'Penguin Video' spent a huge sum to secure the exclusive broadcasting rights for the entire network.

On the day of the premiere, the hot searches on major media and social platforms were dominated by this drama.

'Hua Xixi', played by Shen Li, also quickly exploded on the hot search entries after her first appearance in the second episode.

Her personal social account, which had been depressed for too long, was revived, and her fans ushered in a surge again.

Shen Li cooperated with the company's promotion of the new drama and posted several Weibo posts in a row. The reposts and likes for each post exceeded hundreds of thousands, and the comments broke ten thousand quickly within two hours.

Naturally, the company's operation was indispensable, but the number of active fans was indeed doubling and surging.

After all, before this, Shen Li's latest Weibo post had less than five hundred comments. They were all die-hard fans waiting expectantly for the drama to start.

On the day of the broadcast, Shen Ci called all family members and friends of the family to gather at home to watch her sister's screen debut.

Except for their family of four, Lianxing, Pili, and Shen Yuzhen naturally wouldn't be absent. Aunt Gu also brought desserts made by the nanny at home for everyone to eat while watching.

Shen Xing invited Jiang Ran and Shi Jingming.

Shen Li's three roommates had all joined the cast, but they also indicated in the group that they would finish watching the first eight episodes released on the set.

Shen Yingying's family, far away in Shengang, also turned on the TV simultaneously. Not only did they want to watch, but they also had to keep a remote video call open to watch with them.

The house ushered in the liveliest day ever.

Shen Ci received a call from Wang Zhaoning for the first time three days later.

On this day, a light rain was drizzling from the sky. Shen Ci pressed the answer button and just called out "Sister-in-law," and her whole body froze.

When she arrived at the scene, several police cars were parked outside the villa complex where her brother lived, and many people were holding umbrellas to watch the excitement.

She didn't even care about holding an umbrella and rushed forward against the rain, but was suddenly grabbed by a hand the moment she squeezed into the crowd.

"A-Ci!"

It was Uncle Yang.

Rainwater flowed down her hair onto her cheeks. She looked at Uncle Yang, who shook his head at her: "That's it. We can only see him off for this stretch of the road."

As soon as Uncle Yang finished speaking, there was a commotion in the surrounding crowd.

"He's out, he's been taken out."

"His wife is just pregnant with their second child."

"Isn't this Yan guy very capable? He's well-connected in both worlds!"

"This time it's a crackdown from the highest level, he can't escape."

The whispers of discussion gradually rose, but not a single word fell into Shen Ci's ears. Those chaotic sounds seemed to be isolated by the rain.

In the distance, Yan Wenxi was taken out with his hands cuffed behind his back, escorted by two criminal police officers. Behind him, Shen Ci saw Captain Xue, who had questioned her that day... and Tang Song!

Wang Zhaoning, with her pregnant belly, pulled her seven-year-old son, who was crying for his father, with tears in her eyes, standing under the umbrella held by the nanny, watching Yan Wenxi being taken away by the police.

Shen Ci's gaze fell on her brother's face, just looking at him like that.

Seeming to feel a different kind of gaze, Yan Wenxi suddenly looked up and immediately collided with Shen Ci's gaze in the crowd.

Shen Ci didn't speak, and her lips didn't move, but Yan Wenxi suddenly smiled at her.

That smile only lasted for two seconds before he was pushed into the police car by the police.

Shen Ci turned her gaze back, and looking again, it was Tang Song, who was also standing in the rain and discovered she had come.

The two looked at each other. Shen Ci had said that no matter the result, she wouldn't blame him, because she understood Tang Song, which was why her gaze toward him remained clear.

Tang Song looked at Shen Ci for a long time before a smile slowly spread in his eyes.
