Chapter 150 Snatching Bamboo Shoots!

It has to be said that Ye Wanxi has a very good eye for people.

Chen Debang actually had that in mind. If the problems in their film crew were really related to those unseen evil things, having someone take a look would only solve the problem temporarily.

What if he relapses into his old ways during filming and causes trouble again?

It would be better to retain someone who can keep the show running by using a role, turning your own problems into their problems, and incidentally doing them a favor—a win-win situation.

However, Chen Debang never expected that Ye Wanxi was under Qi Yingxuan's protection, and he also never expected that Ye Wanxi was different from other female artists in the industry who were eager to become famous. She was not as interested in a check as she was in the big screen, making a big production and becoming famous overnight.

Of course, what he least expected was that Qi Yingxuan, this sister who appeared out of nowhere, was just like him in temperament—a dog!

Caught between his two siblings, Chen Debang tearfully agreed to a series of unequal treaties and angrily hung up the phone.

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Ye Wanxi seemed to realize that her actions were not very kind and said insincerely, "Second brother, wasn't I being too unfair? After all, Director Chen is also your brother."

“Even close brothers keep clear accounts! Let alone you, who is a third party to him. Don’t feel uneasy, just accept it. His family is well-off, he won’t miss your money. Besides, if he really wants to be my sister, he should at least give me a small gift, right?”

Qi Yingxuan curled his lip at this point, seeing through the man's stingy little scheme at a glance: "Trying to get something for nothing? Dream on!"

"..." This fake brotherhood is a bit addictive.

"Go and take a look. If you can solve it, help him solve it. If you can't, then forget about it. Anyway, this is considered force majeure. Strictly speaking, the investors can't argue with him. Most of the time, they can only swallow their losses. At most, they just won't ask him to invest in movies anymore. With his mediocre skills, not many people would be willing to invest in his films anyway. If the film crew goes bankrupt, he can go home, inherit the family business, and live a life of leisure."

"..." Grab the bamboo shoots! Grab the bamboo shoots!

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yueqi tentatively said, "Wanxi, take a look at the script first. If you like it, I can help you invest in it later."

Before Ye Wanxi could say anything, Qi Yingxuan exploded: "Why are you meddling in this? You're a fool with too much money, you might as well invest in me."

The foolish and rich second senior brother: "..." Hold it in, hold it in. This kid has parents now, I can't overstep my bounds and discipline this little rascal, that would be impolite!

Fortunately, the kid's mom seemed to have received the pig's brainwaves and smacked him on the back of the head with a potsticker.

"How can you talk like that? You have no manners at all. There's a reason why people talk like that. You say others are meddling, but how many times have you meddled in other people's business? And you have the nerve to call people stupid? You're the smartest one..."

Xiang Yueqi never expected that his fifth junior brother's mother, who seemed gentle, dignified and quiet, would scold her son like a machine gun, one tirade after another that never stopped.

After the initial shock, Xiang Yueqi felt incredibly relieved looking at Qi Yingxuan, who obediently accepted the scolding without daring to utter a single word.

Yes, someone has to keep this guy in check, otherwise he'll turn the world upside down!

Lu Jingyun, mindful of the other people in the house, scolded Qi Yingxuan for a while before stopping and continuing to serve food to Ye Wanxi, urging her to eat more.

After watching the show for a while, Xiang Yueqi was in a good mood. She moved closer to Qi Yingxuan and said with a hint of disdain, "I think you've been here too long. Your brain has become rusty. Have you forgotten what kind of life your junior sister has? If she approves of something, how could it not make money?"

Just like the variety show Ye Wanxi participated in before, it was marketed online to be incredibly popular and trending, but in reality, it didn't have any real highlights.

The first few episodes managed to attract fans with their rural healing style, but after watching for a while, Wu Qianqian's affected manner became undeniable, Nie Yuyang was too dull, and the older members were too old to actually do any heavy work.

The ratings kept dropping, and the production team spent a lot of money on marketing, but it was all in vain.

As a result, Ye Wanxi's trip involved both human traffickers and acrobatic feats, which also led to the uncovering of a human trafficking organization. The show had all the dramatic moments and after-sales service, and the ratings soared.

However, I heard that the director of this show is a bit clueless. He wanted to invite his junior sister to be a regular guest but was rejected. It seems that the ratings will not be guaranteed anymore.

Xiang Yueqi reminded him, and Qi Yingxuan finally realized that his junior sister was blessed with good fortune, as their master had personally predicted that she was always quick to do things.

Whenever I wanted something, someone would spontaneously deliver it to my door. Even a stubborn rock could turn into gold if I took a fancy to it. This had always worked in my past life.

Although she had a tough time in this life, she has regained her memories and hasn't wasted her skills. Judging from the commotion she's caused recently, she's definitely a 2.0 version of her past life!

Qi Yingxuan only hesitated for a fraction of a second before decisively choosing to abandon all pride and curry favor: "How about this, Junior Sister, you ignore that guy and join my film crew? I'm currently filming a realistic blockbuster, and it'll wrap up in about two weeks. You could have a cameo role and be my mascot?"

Ye Wanxi shook her head: "Let's forget it. I was forced into becoming an actress anyway, so I won't join your production team."

Qi Yingxuan, however, was unwilling to give up so easily and persuaded Ye Wanxi to join the film crew.

Gao Min sat on the side, wishing she could bury her face in the bowl, while Lu Jingyun on the other side seemed to have thought of something, and her expression suddenly became subtle.

The meal lasted quite a while, and it was already late at night when Ye Wanxi and the other person returned from Qi Yingxuan's place.

Even though he knew that his junior sister was quite skilled in martial arts, Xiang Yueqi was still worried about the two girls going home alone so late, so he offered to take them home.

No sooner had the group left than Lu Jingyun pulled her son aside and asked, "Son, do you like Wanxi?"

Qi Yingxuan was stunned by his mother's direct question, and it took him a while to say, "Why did you suddenly ask this?"

"Don't change the subject, just answer me whether you like it or not?"

"I like her." Qi Yingxuan took a deep breath and said seriously, "But not in the way you think I like her, it's liking for my sister."

"real?"

"More real than pearls, more real than the diamond ring on your hand!"

"But what happened that day... and just now..."

"That day was to provoke someone, today is real work, serious business, we can't mix them up."

"Whom do you provoke by provoking someone?"

Qi Yingxuan glanced at his phone, thinking about the possible reaction of someone when they saw his post, and laughed in a really smug way.

"Hehe, I can't say yet."

Lu Jingyun glanced at her mentally challenged son, her expression complicated: "Your appearance reminds me of a saying."

"What did you say?"

"The villain dies because of his arrogance."

"???" Is she her biological mother?
