nYe Shengge stood up and wanted to say hi first, but Xu Xiangjie waved his hand and said, “Shengge, don’t be so formal. Quickly, sit down.”

n

n

nHe smiled and tried to push Ye Shengge back to her seat gently, but he put his hands back halfway as he felt that he was being inappropriate.

n

n

nYe Shengge was confused.

n

n

nXu Xiangjie was a renowned director. Although he wasn’t an arrogant person, he had never been humble like this.

n

n

n“You’re being too polite, Director Xu,” she smiled. “Please sit down. I’ll go order some food.”

n

n

n“No need. I’ve already ordered,” Xu Xiangjie couldn’t have sounded more gentle. “Why did you arrange a meeting with me?”

n

n

nYe Shengge was so confused by his attitude that she almost forgot what she was going to say.

n

n

nAnd besides, she felt that she was starting to sweat, probably due to the heat in the room.

n

n

nHowever, Xu Xiangjie wasn’t impatient at all, instead, he still looked at her with a smile.

n

n

n“Um… Director Xu. The artist from our company, Mu Xiaoya, has had a scandal lately. Perhaps she should not be the lead actress.” It took Ye Shengge some time to articulate herself. “I’m really sorry.”

n

n

n“No problem.” Xu Xiangjie waved his hands. “Do you have anyone else to recommend to me?”

n

n

n“Yes, I, I do…” Ye Shengge took a deep breath. “I do have someone to recommend to you, and that is…”

n

n

nYe Shengge wanted to say her own name.

n

n

nHowever, before she could finish, she felt so dehydrated and dizzy.

n

n

n“Who’s that?” Xu Xiangjie asked.

n

n

n“It’s…” Ye Shengge struggled to say her name.

n

n

nHer heart pounded so fast it felt as if it was going to come out of her chest, and she started to see double images of Xu Xiangjie.

n

n

n“Shengge?” Xu Xiangjie frowned as he realized something was wrong. “Are you sick?”

n

n

nYe Shengge felt so hot. She bit her lips and clenched her collar with her right hand.

n

n

nShe wanted to take off her shirt to feel a breeze, but she couldn’t as director Xu was still sitting there.

n

n

n“I…” Ye Shengge struggled and tried to reach the water cup, yet she was too weak to even do that.

n

n

n“Did you eat something bad?” Xu Xiangjie suddenly had an assumption seeing how Ye Shengge was behaving. Things like this happened a lot in the entertainment world, so he could tell that Ye Shengge might’ve taken some drugs.

n

n

nYe Shengge was breathing heavily and swallowing her saliva, but she couldn’t say anything.

n

n

nShe had taken a pill before, and it seemed that that pill was the reason.

n

n

n“Wait a second. Let me call someone first.” Xu Xiangjie stood up and rushed out of the room.

n

n

n“Ms. Ye is inside,” said Xu Xiangjie.

n

n

n“How long ago did she take it?” asked a deep male voice.

n

n

nThe voice was deep but melodious. Ye Shengge found that voice very familiar.

n

n

nWho… Who is that?

n

n

nShe wanted to look up, yet she was so hot and dehydrated that it was painful for her to even move her body.

n

n

nSuddenly, someone pinched her chin with his cold hand.

n

n

nShe couldn’t help panting a bit and grabbing the hand.
