Chapter 75: That’s All The Emperor Chooses
Ye Shengge’s heart was in her mouth . Was she really going to lose her role as the lead actress? Ji Shiting had clearly promised her . She too had kept her promise and didn’t bother him…
She couldn’t help feeling guilty as she recalled how she had been in contact with Ji Shiting lately . That… shouldn’t be considered bothering, would it?
Just as she was feeling upset, Xu Xiangjie handed her a gold invitation card . “Here, take this . ”
Ye Shengge snapped out of her daze, took the invitation card and opened it . Her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets . “This is the invitation for the Ji family’s dinner banquet tomorrow . ”
“That’s right,” Xu Xiangjie smiled . “I’m old, so I didn’t want to join the fun . After some consideration, I decided to give it to you . ”
“Director Xu, how did you know I didn’t have one?” Ye Shengge was a tad skeptical .
If Xu Xiangjie had mistaken her for Ji Shiting’s personnel, then Xu Xiangjie would’ve assumed she had an invitation .
And not be so sure she didn’t receive one .
Even Xu Xiangjie, who had always been calm, was stumped by her question . However, he regained his composure after a few seconds . “I heard your conversation with Mu Xiaoya just now, so I came here to help her . ”
“Director Xu, you should know that I don’t have that kind of relationship with Mr . Ji Shiting, otherwise I would’ve gotten an invitation . ” Ye Shengge was pressed on . “Even so, are you still going to do that?”
“That’s right . ” Xu Xiangjie said calmly . “I saw your potential that day after the shoot, so I’m willing to do that regardless of whether you have a backer or not . ”
This explanation made sense .
Ye Shengge finally smiled and said, “Thank you, Director Xu . ”
“Don’t mention it . ” Xu Xiangjie sent her away .
She hadn’t expected the girl to be so smart . He had nearly been found out by her .

If he didn’t handle it properly, that big boss would definitely be pissed .
With that in mind, Xu Xiangjie immediately sent a message: The invitation had been issued .
The next day, Ji Family’s old manor .
There were so many stars in the sky tonight, so Uncle Jin decided to arrange the dinner banquet in the yard .
The backyard was already brightly lit, and the decorations were lavish . The well-trained waiters were placing exquisite snacks and expensive drinks in different arrangements .
Guests arrived one after another . Every guest would receive a numbered tag when they entered . These tags were separated to red and blue for female and male guests respectively . There were a hundred numbers starting from one .

The courtyard gradually became lively around eight p . m .
In the study room on the second floor of the house, Qiao Yanze watched from the window and smiled, “Come here, Shiting . All the rich ladies from Yang City are here, and they’re all so beautiful… Tsk, all of them are here for you . ”
Yu Shuhang chimed in with a smile . “That’s how ancient emperors used to pick concubines right?”
Ji Shiting was lounging on the sofa with a book in his hand . He glanced at them indifferently and said . “Why don’t you guys head down and entertain the guests?”
If the two of them went down, they would still be recognized by the socialites .
“Hehe, forget it,” Yu Shuhang replied unperturbedly .

Qiao Yanze’s lips curled and he joked, “I can’t believe you’d agree to attend such a dinner given your personality . ”
Ji Shiting didn’t say anything . He set aside his book and walked to the window .
Xie Siqi, who was wearing a gown, was helping to receive the guest with a host-like attitude .
Indeed, it had something to do with her .
Ji Shiting scoffed .
