There's only one possibility that Yu Jingchen's call reached him: the call to Yu Shishu didn't go through, and Yu Shishu probably hung up.

Forced to become Yu Shishu's nanny, the assistant director had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to Yu Shishu. Thinking that he was the one who had brought this matter together, the assistant director hesitated for a long time before turning around and calling over a staff member who had just been in the club lobby.

"Come here, Xiao Pan, tell me what just happened! Where is the director now?"

Xiao Pan looked at the assistant director sheepishly, thinking that the assistant director was catching them who were secretly watching the play and gossiping.

Just now, when Ye Zhiwei took Jiang Jianian over to talk to Yu Shishu, the words spoken by that seemingly quiet young man seemed to pierce the heart, and the artists standing next to the director could feel the tense atmosphere permeating the air.

Those few words, though seemingly casual, were incredibly damaging.

Yu Shishu couldn't answer. Jiang Jianian's words implied that Ye Zhiwei was taken. Under Jiang Jianian's sharp gaze, Yu Shishu was powerless to resist. In particular, the other artists already knew Yu Shishu's personality to some extent. Although Yu Shishu remained silent, his downcast eyes and disappointed gaze made him look like he was about to cry. The group chat exploded with excitement.

The group chat was flooded with messages: "Poor Director Yu! Although he's really scary and ruthless when he's filming, I can't help but think of his teary-eyed look when he trended on social media last time," accompanied by a meme: "[Poor thing]".

Group chat message #63: I just heard that Miss Ye's boyfriend's name is Jiang Jianian, and I feel like I vaguely remember him.

Group chat message #71: Jiang Jianian? Isn't he the top scorer in our province's college entrance exam this year? No way, he's an academic genius. I thought this young lady's boyfriend was going to enter the entertainment industry. I was just thinking that he was bringing him to meet directors, but it turns out he's going for academia.

Group chat message #92: +1 to anyone who genuinely thinks someone wants to join our circle just by looking at their face.

...

The group chat was buzzing with gossip, from staff members to obscure extras, and even the more popular celebrities in the production couldn't resist chiming in.

After gossiping about Yu Shishu's love life, the staff member took a deep breath and said tremblingly, "They were just talking in the lobby and filming with a camera. Then Miss Ye took her boyfriend over and disappeared."

"What boyfriend? Are you sure that's Miss Ye's boyfriend?"

The staff member scratched his head, "I feel like that handsome young man and Ms. Ye are always exuding a pink bubble, I feel like he must be her boyfriend."

"You're not allowed to say that in front of Director Yu!" the assistant director reprimanded. "Are there any private dressing rooms nearby?"

"Yes, there are." A staff member led the assistant director over. "There are several dressing rooms up ahead. Do you need to rest?"

The assistant director slapped the rolled-up script on a staff member's head and said, "Take a break and go find Director Yu."

The assistant director hurried to the dressing room, and sure enough, Yu Shishu was in one of the rooms. He knocked on the door, but no one answered. He had a bad feeling and knocked a few more times.

Yu Shishu then came over to open the door.

Perhaps it was Yu Jingchen's worry that made the assistant director hallucinate, but he could see that Yu Shishu's eyes were red. Feeling guilty, the assistant director said tremblingly, "Director Yu, your brother is looking for you."

As she spoke, she handed the phone to Yu Shishu with both hands, without mentioning Ye Zhiwei and Jiang Jianian at all.

Yu Shishu pursed his lips for a while before saying, "He's really annoying."
