Transmigrated Into a Big Boss to Snatch Away the Cannon Fodder

Chapter 29

Because of the nosebleed, for the rest of the dinner, Lin Ji kept looking at Rong Qing with a worried expression.

Rong Qing was also very worried himself.

Not being able to do it because of the seal, he was also getting very desperate okay?

In the end, he even ended up ordering a bitter melon soup.

Aye… forget it forget it. The bitter melon was perfect for relieving the heat. Its effectiveness was unparalleled.

While these two people over here were enjoying their sweet, and slightly agonizing, time together. Over there, Xiao Ziqi, who also had some free time, practically broke his teeth from grinding too much. Yesterday when he returned, he had other important things so he didn’t notice. It wasn’t until today that he received his agent’s phone call.

As soon as he heard that Lin Ji was moved under Gao Ning’s management, he gnashed his teeth in hatred.

Why?

Why did Lin Ji obtain these things so easily?! Yet he had to use up every plan possible? (Note: this ‘why’ is not a simple why. It implies ‘why did he deserve this but I don’t?’)

The more he thought about it, the darker his expression became. He made a phone call to Gao Jiaxuan.

Hearing the specially set ‘bad guy’ ringer, Gao Jiaxuan put down the cup in his hands, and sneered coldly.

Finally. He’s here.

“Looking for me?”

[Jiaxuan ge, I’m back. You… when do you have free time? Why don’t we eat dinner together tonight?]

The voice in the phone sounded young and innocent with a small hint of careful fawning, same as before.

Gao Jiaxuan couldn’t resist interpreting the words a bit more.

First asking me if I’m free, then immediately saying to meet tonight right after?

He thought carefully. It seemed like previously, he was tricked like this every time?

When he finally saw it clearly, he instantly felt a little depressed. He’s been tricked this entire time!

Although angry enough to hang up the call, Gao Jiaxuan wanted to probe a little more. He wanted to know if Xiao Ziqi was trying to exploit him.

“Tonight is not a good time.”

[Then….]

“If you have time right now, I can free up some time.”

He already ordered someone to get him a copy of Xiao Ziqi’s filming schedule. Today just happened to be the date of his last scene. If Xiao Ziqi really cared about him, then he should at least try to ask the director for permission.

Gao Jiaxuan put himself in the other’s shoes and thought this.

[So sorry, Jiaxuan ge. I still have a scene this afternoon so I can’t leave yet. You should know, even though I have a little reputation right now, I’m not the male lead like Lin Ji. He asked for a day off today. The director didn’t say anything against it. But I’m not the same. I have to be responsible for the director’s sake, and for the sake of all of those workers, and my fans. I ….]

Gao Jiaxuan only listened halfway when his heart grew cold, and calm.

He was thinking, what Rong Qing said was correct.

Xiao Ziqi was only manipulating him. He didn’t even try to ask before declining. Also, did he really think Gao Jiaxuan couldn’t tell that he was bad-mouthing Lin Ji? To raise himself high up in the sky while stepping down on Lin Ji, this method Gao Jiaxuan has seen often in the entertainment circle.
