After taking a nice bath and applying a facial mask, Li Siying finally thought of calling Liao Ying to report today's results.

After sneaking away for a whole day, the number of seedlings she had in stock had doubled from the original 5!

She picked up the phone that she had thrown on the sofa as soon as she entered the door, and when she opened it, she saw several missed calls from Chi Yuheng.

She is now separated from this person by the Pacific Ocean, with a time difference of 12 hours.

Li Siying checked the time on her cell phone. It was only morning there. Why was this person calling her so anxiously? Could something have happened?

Her heart suddenly tightened for no reason, and she hit him without thinking.

"Li Li."

The waiting reminder tone only sounded once, and then a man's low and slightly anxious voice came from the phone receiver.

"Did something happen? Why are you making so many calls?"

Li Siwei didn't waste any words. "I was recording a program during the day, and I had my phone on silent mode and forgot to turn it back on."

Knowing that her phone was just muted and she wasn't deliberately ignoring the call or for some other reason, Chi Yuheng finally felt relieved.

If Chen Chong had not personally sent the person back today, Chi Yuheng would have sent someone to her residence to confirm her personal safety.

"Nothing, I just haven't heard from you all day. I missed you."

The urgency in his tone faded away, and Chi Yuheng's voice became gentle.

Li Siwei: ...

Although the gentle and drowning "I miss you" successfully aroused her tingling sensation, she was still speechless afterward.

Li Siying curled her lips. "You should at least draft your lies first, okay? Chen Chong has been with me the whole day. I don't believe he didn't report a single word to you."

Chi Yuheng: ...

Well, his Li Li is still the smartest.

Pulling the corner of his mouth fondly, Chi Yuheng argued, "I'm not lying. What I said was that I haven't received any news from you in a single day. Chen Chong's message doesn't count."

He deliberately emphasized the word "you", and Li Siwei immediately heard the key point.

"Strong words."

Li Siwei sat down on the sofa, changed into a comfortable position, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"This is called fighting for what is right and resolutely defending my basic rights."

Chi Yuheng chuckled, "Before you left, you said you would text me every day, but look at how many days it's been? Li Li, you're not keeping your word."

"I don't keep my word?"

Li Siying was almost pissed off and laughed, "Chi Yuheng, go look through our chat history yourself. When was there ever a time you sent me a message that I didn't reply to?!"

"Li Li also said that it was me who sent you the message."

Chi Yuheng said with resentment, "And it's always me who sends a message and you reply..."

Li Siwei: “…”

Well, she admitted she lost.

Giving up on arguing with the man about these meaningless questions, Li Siying directly asked the decisive question.

"You're in such a hurry, right? Is it because of the photos Chen Chong sent you?"

Without the initial worries, she quickly figured out the key points.

During the break, Tian Tian secretly told her that Chen Chong took a photo of her helping He Jinyan choose the songs and sent it directly to Chi Yuheng.

She had a clear conscience and felt that it was her job, so she didn't think much about it.

But I didn't expect this man to...

An uncontrollable smile appeared at the corner of her lips, and Li Siwei's fingertips unconsciously curled the ends of her hair.

"So who is that kid?"

Chi Yuheng didn't try to argue this time, but asked directly: "Is he here to poach my girlfriend?"

Li Siwei: “!!!”

I'm glad I wasn't drinking water at the moment, otherwise I would have definitely spit it out.

Li Siwei laughed speechlessly and stopped moving her fingertips. "Chi Yuheng, that's enough. You haven't even caught up with her yet, and you still have the nerve to accuse others of stealing her away?"

"My pursuit does not affect the fact that you are my girlfriend at all." Chi Yuheng started to play tricks again.

Li Siwei held her forehead and silently gave the man a thumbs up.

No wonder this man was always successful in business negotiations. She was truly impressed by his talent for sophistry...

"So, what do you want to say?"

Li Siying didn't respond to the man's suggestion at all and simply threw the question back.

Chi Yuheng: "So, who is that guy? He's getting so close to you, is he trying to steal my girl?"

The question came back again. Li Siwei rubbed her aching forehead, "Didn't Chen Chong tell you? That boy is a student in my group. When he took the photo, I was helping him choose the song for the test."

"Boys?"

Chi Yuheng's voice was filled with an ambiguous smile, "That boy is 24 years old this year, two years older than you, and you call him a boy?"

Li Siwei frowned and said in a low voice, "Have you checked on He Jinyan?"

Chi Yuheng: "No need to check, this information is already in the student information released by your program team."

But Li Siwei obviously didn't believe it. "Chi Yuheng, I hope that what happened between us won't affect my work."

Her voice was more serious and earnest than ever before. "Xingyao Entertainment is a career I've devoted three years of my life to. I'll be discovering new talents in this program, not just He Jinyan, but also several other promising talents. In the coming period, I'll be interacting with them, assessing their potential, and asking them if they're willing to join. These are all things I need to do, so..."

"Sorry, Lili."

Chi Yuheng lowered his voice, with a hint of loss.

But after a two-second pause, he still tentatively asked, "Regarding this He Jinyan, Li Li, have you learned any information about him?"

Hearing the implication in his words, Li Siwei also thought of what Pei Yanzhi had said to her that day, and frowned slightly, "Are you talking about his former agency? Mr. Pei also said that someone had contacted the program team before and wanted to disqualify him from the competition."

"What about other information? What else do you know?" Chi Yuheng asked again.

After thinking carefully, Li Siying continued, "I only heard that he was discovered by a scout while studying abroad and was recruited into a company as a trainee. He later formed a singing and dancing group and prepared to debut. However, for some reason, his contract was terminated by the company. Since then, he has been facing setbacks everywhere. In the past year or so, it seems that he has been playing supporting roles in film and television studios."

A bit part? Ha!

Chi Yuheng twitched the corners of his mouth without any warmth, but when he spoke again, his voice was as gentle as ever, "Li Li, are you sure you want to sign him?"

"Can't you sign it?"

Li Siying didn't quite understand what he meant. "He Jinyan has really good looks. His looks and figure are what young people really like. I think whether he continues to pursue a career as a singer and dancer, or hones his skills and pursues acting, he should have a good future..."

Hearing her praising another man like that, even though he knew that Li Li only looked at her employees from the perspective of a boss, Chi Yuheng still felt an uncontrollable pang of sadness in his heart.

"Isn't Li Li worried that after signing He Jinyan, the person who was trying to trip him up behind the scenes will come and cause trouble for Xingyao Entertainment?"

Not worried?

Actually, I am worried.

Li Siying pursed her lips. She had also thought about this question in the past two days. Although she still hadn't figured out who He Jinyan had offended in the first place, and why that person wanted to kill He Jinyan.

But since He Jinyan can still record the program smoothly, Li Siying feels that there may not be any need to worry too much.

She felt it was a pity to give up such a promising prospect for such an unknown reason.
