Only after her death did I realize that she was the white moonlight of a billionaire CEO.

Chapter 80 Li Xi is destined to be a wealthy woman.

"People of the bright side don't speak secretly."

Xie Zheng could guess the purpose of Li Xi's words to her.

She told Li Xi frankly, "Li Xi, I'm very grateful that you told me the truth. But I won't stand with you against Xie Jiaoyue."

“I know Xie Jiaoyue is no good. Ever since the night she slept with Zhou Yaoguang, we can no longer be friends.”

"But I've known her for several years, and I think she wasn't entirely insincere towards me. I also genuinely cherished her as a close friend."

“We can’t be friends anymore, but I won’t turn around and bite her because of Zhou Yaoguang.”

"I just throw away dirty things that aren't worth my time."

Xie Zheng is the top female host at Zhaixing Entertainment. She has experienced many ups and downs and wouldn't turn against Xie Jiaoyue over a man.

But she will no longer maintain a close relationship with Xie Jiaoyue.

"If she wants to take an unclean man, let her have him."

Xie Zheng lit a cigarette and smoked it lazily. Even at home, she had a captivating charm when she smoked.

Looking at her captivating smoking posture, Li Xi smiled and said, "Sister Zheng is a straightforward person, but I have no intention of using you to take revenge on Xie Jiaoyue."

"I'm reminding you to see through the truth about the people around you, just because I feel sorry for you and think it's not worth it."

"Furthermore, we're investors in the same boat. I want to become a moderately wealthy woman, and you're the very wealthy woman I need to befriend to achieve that goal."

"Clean up the trash around you; it's beneficial for our cooperation and mutual benefit."

Hearing this, Xie Zheng laughed and said, "Now that you say that, I feel relieved."

Xie Zheng felt more at ease working with someone as purposeful as Li Xi.

She got up, a cigarette dangling from her lips, and went upstairs. "Wait here, I'm going upstairs to get a document."

Xie Zheng quickly came down with the printed documents.

"This is my ideal list of recommended actors. Take it back and take a look. If it's not suitable, we can revise it. If there are actors that we both approve of, then we can contact them privately in advance."

"correct."

Xie Zheng smiled and told Li Xi, "Many of the actors here have conflicts with their agencies and want to switch agencies."

“If you’re really ambitious, I suggest you sign them.”

"Don't worry, the actors I recommend to you, even if they aren't good at acting, are at least good prospects with relatively clean private lives and no history of breaking the law."

To put it bluntly, this document is essentially Xie Zheng's network of connections cultivated over 12 years in the industry.

Xie Zheng would never have entrusted this to Li Xi without a genuine relationship of trust.

Li Xi hesitated for a moment, but still took the document.

"Sister Zheng, you want to terminate your contract with Zhaixing Entertainment, right?"

Xie Zheng did have this idea, and she asked Li Xi, "How did you figure that out?"

"It's obvious. First, you only have two years left on your contract with Zhaixing Entertainment. Second, Xie Jiaoyue is Zhaixing Entertainment's little princess."

“If I were you, I would never swallow my pride and work as an actress in her family’s company. The thought that I would have to give a portion of the money I worked so hard to earn to the company of the woman who slept with my fiancé makes me feel so resentful.”

"I think Sister Zheng thinks so too."

Xie Zheng shrugged. "Obviously, we share the same goals."

"I do intend to terminate my contract with Zhaixing Entertainment."

Not only that, Xie Zheng also said, "I plan to retire from acting after filming 'Seven Days of Nightmare'."

"Why?" Li Xi supported Xie Zheng's decision to cancel her collaboration with Zhaixing Entertainment, but disagreed with her leaving the entertainment industry. "You're still young, and your acting skills are top-notch. With your abilities, you could potentially compete for international film awards..."

"That's no longer possible." Xie Zheng gave a self-deprecating laugh and said, "Zhou Yaoguang won't let me get away with this."

Li Xi never expected that the reason lay with Zhou Yaoguang.

"What does this have to do with him! You two are breaking up, why should he care about you?"

"See those bodyguards at the door?" Xie Zheng smiled wryly. "He arranged for them to monitor me, afraid I'd run away."

"absurd!"

"He cheated on you first, yet he won't let you leave. What kind of logic is that?"

"This is the world of madmen." Xie Zheng was quite calm about it. She said, "I am very happy to be able to play a major role in 'Seven Days of Nightmare'. I have no regrets if 'Seven Days of Nightmare' becomes my swan song."

Li Xi was speechless for a moment.

It seems Xie Zheng is planning to compromise.

But Li Xi still felt a great sense of regret. Xie Zheng in her previous life was an actress who was very passionate about acting.

But how did things change in this life?

Li Xi then heard Xie Zheng say, "Zhou Yaoguang's mother is seriously ill and needs a kidney transplant, and I am the person among those around me with the highest HLA match for her."

“Zhou Yaoguang’s father wanted me to donate a kidney to the old lady, and Zhou Yaoguang also wanted his mother to live.”

Upon hearing this, Li Xi couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Does he intend to force you to donate a kidney to his mother?"

"What kind of utter garbage is this?!"

Xie Zheng shook her head. "He didn't force me, but I know in my heart that he wants me to donate a kidney to his mother."

Li Xi: "Ha!"

“He wants you to do this, but he can’t bring himself to say it, because if he does, he will become the sinner in your relationship.”

"That guy surnamed Zhou is really good at scheming!"

"So, Sister Zheng, what do you think?"

Xie Zheng said, "Six years ago, Zhou Yaoguang almost got killed by a bomb on set while trying to save me. The scars on his back are still shocking to this day."

"Whether he asks for it in the end or not, I will donate this kidney."

Li Xi gasped, feeling suffocated. "Sister Zheng, why did you do this?"

"Do you think I want this?"

Xie Zheng gave a sad smile and said, "If you can live a healthy life, what healthy, good person would be willing to donate a kidney to save someone?"

“But Zhou Yaoguang is a carbon copy of his father. When he loves me, he can spoil me rotten. But once he realizes that I want to escape from his side and that I am out of his control, he will not let it go.”

"So, I'm going to use donating a kidney as leverage to force him to agree to our breakup."

Li Xi, however, was not optimistic about Xie Zheng's plan. "What if he goes back on his word? You obediently lie in bed and donate a kidney to his mother. Once his mother recovers, he will have the energy to deal with you."

"At that time, you will become his caged bird, with no way to escape."

Xie Zheng had also considered this, so she had other plans. She said, "I will talk to his father about this."

Li Xi immediately understood Xie Zheng's plan.

No matter how capable Zhou Yaoguang is, it's all thanks to the confidence his father gave him.

Instead of playing the domineering CEO game of chasing and escaping with Zhou Yaoguang, it's better to make a deal with Zhou Tiexiong directly.

With Zhou Tiexiong keeping Zhou Yaoguang in check, how could he possibly cause any trouble?
