Ye Shengge's heart was in her throat. Was she really going to lose her role as the lead actress? Ji Shiting had promised her, and she had kept her promise and didn't pester him …
She couldn't help feeling guilty as she recalled her recent interactions with Ji Shiting. Those … shouldn't be considered pestering, right?
Just as she was feeling uneasy, Xu Xiangjie handed her a gilded invitation letter and said, "Here, take this."
Ye Shengge came back to reality, took the invitation and opened it. Her eyes widened and she said, "This is … the invitation to the Ji family's banquet tomorrow."
"That's right." Xu Xiangjie smiled and said. "I'm old, and I can't be bothered to join in the fun. I thought I'd give it to you."
"How do you know I don't have it, Director Xu?" Ye Shengge suddenly felt suspicious.
If Xu Xiangjie treated her differently because he misunderstood that she was Ji Shiting's woman, then Xu Xiangjie should have thought that she had an invitation.
He wouldn't be so sure that she didn't.
Even though Xu Xiangjie had always been calm, he was stunned by her question. Fortunately, he only froze for two seconds before he smiled and said, "I heard your conversation with Mu Xiaoya just now, so I came to do you a favor."
"Director Xu, you should know that I don't have that kind of relationship with Mr. Ji Shiting. Otherwise, I wouldn't not have an invitation." Ye Shengge was still aggressive. "Even so, do you still want to do this favor?"
"That's right." Xu Xiangjie remained calm. "I saw your potential during the photo shoot that day, so I'm willing to do this favor regardless of whether you have a backer or not."
That explanation made sense.
Ye Shengge finally smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, Director Xu."
"You're welcome." Xu Xiangjie smiled and saw her off.
He hadn't expected this girl to be so smart. She had almost found out.
If he messed up, that big boss would definitely be angry.
Thinking of this, Xu Xiangjie quickly composed a message and sent it over: The invitation has been successfully sent out.

The next day, at the Ji family's old residence.
There were stars in the sky tonight, and the temperature was just right, so Uncle Jin decided to hold the banquet in the yard.
At this time, the backyard was brightly lit, and the decorations were dazzling. Well-trained waiters were sorting out exquisite snacks and expensive drinks.
The guests arrived one after another. Every guest would receive a number plate when they entered. Male guests would receive a blue number plate, while female guests would receive a red number plate. Both the red and blue number plates had a hundred numbers starting from 1.
At eight o 'clock in the evening, the courtyard gradually became lively.
…
In the study on the second floor of the main residence, Qiao Yanze stood by the window and looked down for a while. He smirked and said, "Shiting, come and have a look. All the famous ladies in Yang City are here, and they're all prettier than the other … Tsk tsk, they're all here for you."
Yu Shuhang also laughed, "Even the ancient emperors choosing their concubines can't compare to this, right?"
Ji Shiting was sitting on the sofa, flipping through a book. He glared at them and said, "Why don't you guys go down and entertain them?"
If the two of them went down, they would become the targets of these socialites.
"Haha, forget it," Yu Shuhang said calmly.
Qiao Yanze curled his lips and said, "I can't imagine that you would agree to attend such a banquet with your personality."
Ji Shiting didn't say anything. He put down the book in his hand, stood up and walked to the window.
At the entrance of the courtyard, Xie Siqi, who was wearing a gown, was helping to entertain the guests as if she were the host.
Indeed, it had something to do with her.
Ji Shiting's eyes flashed with mockery.
