Yu Jingchen stared blankly at the script, feeling utterly disappointed in Yu Shishu.

He didn't like Ye Zhiwei; he just wanted her to act in his films because he thought she had great potential as an actress, was very beautiful on camera, and had a very photogenic face.

Yu Shishu told himself this.

During the morning's familiarization with the film set, both the male actors and the staff were very excited.

Most of the crew members had never actually driven a race car before. Of course, even if they had never driven a race car, it didn't stop the men from having an innate love for cars, especially the lead actor Wen Zhaolin. Although he looks refined and has a gentle personality, and as the only relatively popular celebrity in the crew, he never acted like a big shot and was humble, polite, and courteous, he couldn't help but get excited when he saw a race car.

When Yu Shishu returned to the production team, the lead actor Wen Zhaolin was auditioning and rehearsing under the guidance of the assistant director.

Compared to the actual filming, the assistant director tried to make Wen Zhaolin less nervous, saying, "Try to familiarize yourself with the scene first and see if you can complete it. If you really can't, we can find a stunt double to complete some of the scenes."

Wen Zhaolin said he wanted to try it. His gaze was different from usual. It seemed that when he touched the race car and tried to step on the gas pedal for the first time, his emotions were greatly released.

This is why Yu Shishu chose Wen Zhaolin.

He could sense the hostility in Wen Zhaolin that didn't match his appearance. This was something everyone had; even the kindest person couldn't be without a trace of gloom or be completely untainted. Wen Zhaolin did have a very good temper, and the company's positioning and persona for him were somewhat geared towards that of a refined gentleman. However, Wen Zhaolin hadn't completely gravitated towards becoming a saint.

There are no easy characters in the entertainment industry. Wen Zhaolin's remarkable quality lies in the fact that he actually has many negative traits. He has dated quite a few girlfriends, and he doesn't shy away from things like smoking in public and discussing pretty girls—all the inherent flaws of men. The media occasionally reports on his negative aspects, but even so, he still manages to give people a gentle and refined gentlemanly feeling. The fierceness in his eyes blends perfectly with his overall gentleness.

This aligns perfectly with the feeling Yu Shishu wanted.

Yu Shishu's works often feature villains as protagonists. He seems to be a staunch advocate of the inherent evil of human nature, and he prefers to explore very negative aspects.

Many of his works can be categorized as crime thrillers.

Yu Shishu's appearance made the scene tense. However, Yu Shishu, who is usually strict on set, did not focus on the artists at this moment. He was thinking that he should not be swayed by other thoughts, but his gaze still fell on Ye Zhiwei unconsciously.

Then there's Jiang Jianian standing next to Ye Zhiwei.

Jiang Jianian was teaching Ye Zhiwei how to drive a race car. Ye Zhiwei was clearly not good at driving; she probably couldn't even drive a regular car very well, let alone a race car. Her clumsy appearance amused Jiang Jianian. Although Jiang Jianian didn't like being a teacher, he was clearly enjoying teaching Ye Zhiwei and was very patient.

Later, Ye Zhiwei lost interest and excused herself to get some mineral water. Jiang Jianian stood by the race car watching her leave. After Ye Zhiwei left, the smile in Jiang Jianian's previously gentle gaze vanished, and the smile on his lips also faded considerably.

Yu Shishu was somewhat surprised because he saw the shadow of the male protagonist in Jiang Jianian, who was not accompanied by Ye Zhiwei: a charming and elegant devil.

Normally, Yu Shishu would have thought that Jiang Jianian perfectly matched his image requirements, and might even have felt like chatting with him. But now, Yu Shishu had no interest at all. When he discovered that Jiang Jianian seemed to be more complicated and negative than he had imagined, he was left only with confusion: He wasn't that good, so why did Ye Zhiwei like him?

He was no longer as eager to recruit talent as before; instead, jealousy and slander grew in his heart.

This was the first time Yu Shishu had felt jealous. He finally stopped deceiving himself as before and faced his feelings squarely: he did like Ye Zhiwei, the kind of liking between a man and a woman.

However, he also experienced heartbreak at the same time he admitted it.
