Chapter 152: It’s Actually Her Boss.
After the bad weather had completely passed, filming for the show resumed, and the house that had collapsed during the fierce storm was also repaired. The guests moved back in.
The filming continued for a week. After finishing the variety show, Shen Zhiyi immediately went to an out-of-town brand event. As soon as the event was over, without any delay, she flew to the opening ceremony of the film festival. She was in a non-stop state for several days, to the point where she was so tired when she returned to her hotel that she just wanted to fall asleep immediately and missed several of Pei Yu’s calls.
There was a dinner that night to celebrate the talent agency’s sixtieth anniversary. Not only would the company’s seniors attend, but the leadership would be there as well—skipping it was not an option. Wang Feifei even sent over a gown. When Xiaodong knocked on the door, Shen Zhiyi was still catching up on sleep.
Seeing that there was no answer from inside, Xiaodong guessed that Shen Zhiyi was still asleep, so she let herself in, placed the dress on the sofa, and went to wake Shen Zhiyi in the bedroom.
"Sister," Xiaodong, who had been busy with Shen Zhiyi for a few days, was also lacking sleep, and she yawned while speaking, "It’s time to get up. Take a shower to wake up; I’ll have the stylist come later."
Shen Zhiyi sat up hugging the blanket, and her first action was to check her phone, indeed, there were missed calls from Pei Yu.
She dialed back and got out of bed while lifting the comforter.
When the call connected, Pei Yu’s voice was both clear and calm. He didn’t need her to explain and guessed, "Fell asleep?"
"Yeah," Shen Zhiyi rubbed her eyes. She had worn contact lenses for too long these past days, her eyes were red and slightly sore. She couldn’t wear them today, "Too tired, but it should get better after tonight."
Pressed for time and needing to do styling, Shen Zhiyi did not like to talk on the phone with Pei Yu in front of others. She felt uncomfortable saying anything and ended the call without chatting for long.
After a flurry of activity, she finally arrived on time at the banquet venue. The attendees of this dinner were all artists and staff from the same company, which made it much more relaxed than other events. Shen Zhiyi chatted with people she knew for a while and then texted Qin Xiaoran on her phone. Xiaoran’s wedding was coming up, and she had been decorating her new house recently.
