679 So It’s the Power of Money
What kind of sweet words was she saying so early in the morning?
Shi Xi hurriedly went back to put on her makeup and change her clothes, pretending that nothing had happened.
However, the dress she was going to wear today had a zipper at the back.
She couldn’t pull up the last bit of the zipper.
Shi Xi opened the door. “Xie Yunzhou, do me a favor.”
Zhu Lin came to the hotel to pick up Shi Xi.
After entering, Zhu Lin was holding a cup of milk tea in her hand. When she saw Xie Yunzhou zipping up Shi Xi’s dress, her eyes widened. “Y-y-you, President Xie, you?”
Xie Yunzhou’s eyes were indifferent.
“Ah, this, Xi Xi… Did President Xie sleep here last night?” Zhu Lin asked after she regained her senses.
Shi Xi nodded. “Yeah.”
Even if he slept on the sofa, he would be sleeping here.
Countless thoughts flashed through Zhu Lin’s mind.
“The one living opposite seems to be illegitimate fans. Did you meet them when you came in? Shi Xi asked.
“Ah? I didn’t, but there’s a cup of milk tea at the door.” Zhu Lin reacted, raised the milk tea in her hand, and said, “I thought you had ordered milk tea early in the morning!”
Shi Xi was speechless.
Zhu Lin looked at the time and said, “The production time was 9 o’clock last night.”
“Someone knocked on the door at that time,” Xie Yunzhou recalled.
“It’s probably a fan. He’s not that enthusiastic to take the role.” Zhu Lin noticed the helplessness in Shi Xi’s eyes. She threw the milk tea into the trash can and said, “I’ll get a few security guards from downstairs to help.”
“Alright,” Shi Xi replied.
Before going out, Zhu Lin looked out through the peephole. “Someone’s here. Wait for the security.”
The forgotten Xie Yunzhou: “How do I get out?”
Shi Xi paused. “They’ll disperse after I leave. You should leave later.”
In any case, they couldn’t let anyone take a video of them coming out together in the morning.
As soon as she came out of the room, the illegitimate fans and the reporters surrounded Shi Xi and kept taking photos of her.
“Shi Xi, were you alone last night?”
“Why didn’t you open the door when I knocked? You didn’t even take the milk tea I ordered for you!”
“The milk tea was ordered last night, don’t drink it anymore!”
The illegitimate fans even reminded Shi Xi.
Zhu Lin was horrified. How did these fans know that Shi Xi lived here? They even knew the room number?
With the help of security, Shi Xi got into the car safely.
“Next time, use my ID card to book a room. They won’t be able to track you down,” Zhu Lin said.
Shi Xi nodded and called Han Chuan. “When is the interview for [Sky Blue]? I’ve agreed to go.”
Han Chuan was startled. “You’ve thought it through?”
“Yes. Xie Yunzhou is the biggest investor now,” Shi Xi said bluntly. “Nan Wan won’t be selected.”
“So it’s President Xie.” Han Chuan suddenly understood.
It was no wonder the production team had been trying so hard to invite Shi Xi.
So it was the power of money.

The interview for [Sky Blue] was still ongoing. Shi Xi accepted the interview invitation and arrived at the interview venue.
However, when they arrived, Shi Xi realized that there were quite a few people around.
Shi Xi was speechless.
Didn’t he set her up internally? Why were there other people here for the interview?
And there were both men and women?
Shi Xi looked at Han Chuan with a puzzled look.
“Other than Fu Tianlan, there are other roles that need to be interviewed,” Han Chuan explained.
“There’s no internal casting for the female lead?” Shi Xi asked in a low voice.
Han Chuan shook his head. “The director said that he would choose the female lead based on the interview results.”
“I called President Xie and he told you to come for the interview without any worries.”
Shi Xi thought, ‘Did he set me up or not?’
She couldn’t understand.
However, she had already studied the plot of [Sky Blue] over and over again, and she was definitely not worse than the others!
Shi Xi instantly became confident.
