Chapter 68: Ridiculous Relationship

-

Before joining the cast, she did her homework, learning about the background of the drama, the character's profession, and background...

Chen Mo wanted to take her on a trip to relax, but she refused. She was thinking that she was about to join the crew, and although she got in through connections, she still had to be prepared. She couldn't act like someone with connections.

Shen Yueze didn't talk to her directly; they only exchanged information about money. Cheng Yuzhou and the agent handled the resource-related matters.

His WeChat Moments are still stuck a month ago. He posts very little, and there's no trace of his life. Maybe he's blocked her...?

He doesn't flaunt his wealth; he doesn't show off his supercars or watches.

Although there's a saying that the less you have, the more you want to show off, wealthy people also show off. It's just a matter of personality, not how much money they have.

Wen Yining scrolled through his WeChat Moments again, but there was no trace of Shi Yingmeng or any other girl.

-

Three days before joining the film crew, she received another notification that her role as the second female lead had been replaced.

Cheng Yuzhou is currently personally managing her affairs.

She asked somewhat anxiously, "Hasn't it already been decided?"

Cheng Yuzhou was also contacting people on his phone, sending messages and swearing at the same time, even more anxious than her, which was obviously unexpected.

Frustrated, he explained, "I'm telling you, it's settled, but even after filming has started, they can still change actors halfway through. This has happened before."

“Anything can happen. I took a look and saw that this project is good. It’s a primetime drama, and you can see who the female and male leads are. A lot of people are eyeing this opportunity.”

The two lead actors are currently popular celebrities, while the second male and female leads are usually people who are just given resources and are forced into the roles.

"Think about it, there's more than one person in this world who got in through connections. The other party replied to me, the person who's replacing you now is named Xiang Yumin."

“Her family knows the director of the local TV station, you understand now? If you can get in, then others can use the same method.”

She didn't speak, her face gradually darkening, her heart sinking heavily. She watched Cheng Yuzhou swear on the phone with a detached gaze, clearly having done his best for her sake.

She knew how volatile things could be in this industry; some people could become famous overnight, while others could fall to the bottom in the same day. This was nothing unusual.

Being replaced in a role is a very common occurrence; it is both unexpected and reasonable. The intense sense of loss can always be comforted by finding examples to illustrate it.

I found Xiang Yumin's information...

He's a year older than her, has formal training, and has played a supporting role in a movie starring an award-winning actress. He's only been in the industry for a little over a year and doesn't have much experience yet, but his future prospects should be very good.

Cheng Yuzhou replied to her voice message on his phone, advising her, "Don't be too upset. Don't be impatient for quick results. There's still a long time ahead, right?"

Although she was disappointed, she didn't complain. "I know you've tried your best to help me. After all, very few actresses get to play the lead or second lead role right from their debut."

Even if a rich kid enters the entertainment industry, they start by playing minor supporting roles.

Cheng Yuzhou leaned back wearily, rubbed his forehead, and took a sip of coffee to perk himself up.

“There are many rich kids who want to get into the entertainment industry, want to act, and want to become famous easily, but they don’t have any connections. Having money alone is useless. Their families can’t possibly take out tens of millions or hundreds of millions to start a project.”

"Let me tell you, since 2015, the cost of S+ projects has never been less than 100 million."

"So tall..."

"Yes, filming is very expensive, including post-production, marketing and promotion, and the food and clothing of hundreds of people."

On the homepage of the computer video platform, Jiang Shan's image flashes by; it's currently airing a fantasy drama.

He pointed to the screen and said, “Take this movie for example. It cost more than 200 million yuan to produce, so now we only dare to use popular actors. We don’t dare to use actors who are good at acting but not famous. Otherwise, we won’t be able to break even. If there are well-connected actors in the supporting roles, they might add or change scenes randomly after they get in.”

To comfort him, Cheng Yuzhou gave her a minor supporting role, with few scenes and only a few days of screen time.

-

Wen Yining had never known the specific businesses or family background of Shen Yueze's family, nor had she ever met his family members or parents.

In this situation, if it weren't for his circle of brothers, she would have suspected that he was a fake rich kid.

Because it's very common in society now to use packaging to pretend to be a rich kid.

She seems to be very wealthy, and Cheng Yuzhou is one of the three bosses of Dongyang, yet none of them could make her famous.

After listening to Cheng Yuzhou's analysis of the project's costs, I finally understood the reason.

However, I'm still a little curious about his family background.

Chen Jiabai had mentioned it a few times before, but not completely. Based on the attitudes of these people towards him, we can make a rough estimate.

I saw his father's name in the contact list on his phone.

She searched and found a detailed Baidu Encyclopedia entry for Shen Zongjun.

The rich list shows over a hundred people; this kind of thing can't be faked.

Although I've heard of many reclusive billionaires who aren't on the list, those who are definitely wealthy.

Those ranked at the top are former richest people and internet moguls who are frequently in the media.

-

This role is a palace maid with a few lines. Jiang Shan is the main character. She is currently working on new projects without a break, and every time she finishes filming, she gets a new project in less than a month.

It was very hot on set. The costumes were not breathable in the middle of summer, like wearing down jackets. Jiang Shan's fans bought milk tea and watermelon for the staff and supporting actors.

Jiang Shan's two assistants knelt down to change her clothes and shoes.

The male lead is Xu Zean, who has three assistants, all of whom are women. Each assistant carries something: a fan, a water bottle, sunscreen spray, a parasol, etc.

During each break, I would go over and give him water, then catch the chewing gum he spat out with my hand. He looked terrible; I guess he was feeling too hot.

He doesn't even need to open the script himself; he's practically being fed food.

A palace maid next to Wen Yining was gossiping, saying that Jiang Shan was a delinquent before her debut, but her agent was very good at marketing and cleared her name. Now that she's famous, all those scandals don't matter anymore.

She waited in the shade for her scene, but the high temperature made her impatient. Seeing that their emotions weren't up to par, the director got annoyed and kept swearing.

But the director didn't dare to get angry at the lead actors, so he only scolded the staff. The assistant director and the girl in charge of the extras were scolded for ten minutes, but they still bowed and scraped without uttering a single complaint.

"You fucking..."

Cheng Yuzhou used his connections to add more scenes for her, but her role was that of a palace maid serving a noble concubine. No matter how many scenes were added, the plot couldn't be changed too badly, and she was soon poisoned to death in the palace intrigue.

Cheng Yuzhou also asked Jiang Shan to take good care of her on site. Jiang Shan saw that she was pretty and asked her how old she was and what school she went to.

"From the film academy."

However, because she was so obscure, and no one had ever even seen her before, they didn't take her seriously.

When Jiang Shan's assistant is too busy, she will ask Wen Yining to do the work.

Right now, all she can think about is terminating her contract. She doesn't want to listen to her manager or Cheng Yuzhou at all. During her breaks, she looks at gossip about her fellow artists on her phone. "Damn, this is a total slut. She's so good at pretending to be innocent on screen. Hey, Wen Yining, have you ever met Lin Ni?"

Wen Yining was being ordered around to pack her costume when she saw a video of the actress playing on the screen. She remembered that Shi Yuheng really liked this actress. "I've never seen her before."

"Do you think she's prettier or I am?"

Wen Yining glanced at her and said against her will, "You."

Jiang Shan was finally satisfied and said with a grin, "Cheng Yuzhou even pursued her, and they slept together."

Wen Yining also sensed that the boss liked this type.

Jiang Shan was particularly jealous of Lin Ni's current success, as she could only snatch movie resources and endorsements from Lin Ni. "Let me tell you, she really has no bottom line at all. In her debut movie, she went completely nude and slept with all sorts of directors and male leads. She was also someone's mistress, trying to use her child to climb the social ladder. In the end, the original wife gave her a good beating, and she failed to marry into a wealthy family."

She only pays attention to female artists who are competing with her at the same time. The reason she dislikes them so much is because the two of them competed for the same role in a drama.

While using Wen Yining as her assistant, Jiang Shan went on and on about the dark histories of several celebrities in the industry.

It's common for celebrities to feud when accepting awards, publicly accusing each other of relying on powerful figures or finding powerful backers. It goes without saying that they do the same thing privately, since their smear campaigns are usually bought by the other party.

She also said that she was framed by xxx last time, who pretended to be a friend but secretly spread bad news about her...

Finally, he added, "The oldest boss in the company is bisexual and now likes to play around with male celebrities. Cheng Yuzhou's tastes are unpredictable, but he likes your type the most. Oh, by the way, you two are in a sexual relationship, right?"

Wen Yining denied it. She didn't know what Cheng Yuzhou had told outsiders, but she hadn't done anything out of line with him; she had only given him a few verbal instructions.

Jiang Shan clearly didn't believe it, but she didn't care anymore. In a good mood, she said that xxx was about to crash.

She discovered that Jiang Shan had one advantage: she didn't read the trolls' insults about her online, but only read what others said.

-

Something unexpected happened to Wen Yining recently.

Feng Yan went to participate in a talent show. Perhaps it was because I hadn't paid attention to him for so long that I only found out when the show aired.

Around this time last year, he told her that he would go back to his hometown to find a stable job after graduation.

Because his parents were relatively conservative, they didn't hope their child would have dramatic ups and downs or make a lot of money; they just wanted him to be safe and healthy. Feng Yan also preferred this kind of unchanging life to some extent.

Because Shen Yueze stayed with her in the hospital room every day and would occasionally check the messages on her phone, she didn't dare to contact Feng Yan, otherwise he might have run out of money.

However, Feng Yan's family didn't spend much money on him, so even though he was handsome and sang well, he was quickly eliminated and didn't rank very high.

-

I came to see her at the filming location that day. I took a look around at their film crew; there were quite a few extras, and it was a mess.

Then, her gaze lingered on her palace maid attire, and she asked in surprise, "Your character is just a lowly palace maid?"

Wen Yining adjusted her headdress, looking somewhat embarrassed. "Well, I don't have many scenes."

"I thought you'd get some good resources by being with Shen Yueze. He seems pretty rich, driving a McLaren P1. Why is he so stingy with you?"

Boys are particularly sensitive to car models, especially at their age. They remember Shen Yueze's car model better than Wen Yining does.

She simply said, "It's good enough to have a role to play; there are so many extras out there."

I don't really want to explain the matter of that female supporting actress who was rejected.

Seeing that she was nearly 40 degrees Celsius and wearing three layers of costumes, Feng Yan felt unbearably hot for her. "You must be getting heat rash from all that stuffing, right? Qiao Yin told me that there's a really good art film they want you to act in, but you haven't agreed yet. She wanted me to persuade you."

Qiao Yin was a senior at their school and knew the two of them. At first, she thought they were a couple, but later she found out they were just ordinary friends.

In fact, Wen Yining regretted her decision the day after she started playing the role of the palace maid.

She regretted not agreeing to Shi Yuheng's proposal. He said that almost all movie stars have filmed explicit scenes, which is true. Why can others do it, but she can't?

However, Shi Yuheng was clearly angry and embarrassed after she refused, so she decided to just let it go.

Lost in thought, I overheard a heated argument erupting from the pavilion. The girl being reprimanded was named Xia Sheng; she looked quite young. The man opposite her was the director of Team B, his attitude both fierce and arrogant: "What the hell are you calculating? Do you even have a brain?! Is this your first day on set?! You can't even handle this stupid thing properly..."

The continuous stream of greetings to the ancestors drew everyone's attention.

The girl is the assistant director in charge of the extras. She has to tell Xia Sheng if she wants to eat, go to the bathroom, or finish work.

Wen Yining has been here for several days and has seen Xia Sheng being deliberately harassed by others.

He pounded his aching shoulders and sighed with a melancholy expression, "Before I joined the crew, I never imagined that being an assistant director would be this miserable."

"They have to be subservient, serving tea and water, doing menial tasks, and they get yelled at horribly. They must be under a lot of pressure, with each level putting pressure on the next."

There are several types of assistant directors. Xia Sheng's position has no power; he's basically a punching bag on set and is often scolded.

The director's assistant was similar; in fact, many staff members had even worse working conditions than my cousin described, each with their own difficulties.

Feng Yan was silent for a moment, then said from the bottom of his heart, "Now you know how fierce the competition is in this industry, so why don't you cherish this opportunity?"

"If someone else had your face and figure, and encountered such a rare leading lady role, they would definitely be willing to give everything."

"..."

Wen Yining felt that something was wrong with him. He had lost a lot of weight, looked tired, and lacked the vigor he had during his university days.

I vaguely heard some rumors from Dai Anning that Feng Yan was allegedly subjected to unspoken rules after entering the entertainment industry.

At the time, Wen Yining didn't quite believe it, thinking that Feng Yan wouldn't be able to accept it, but seeing the marks on his neck today, she suddenly understood something.

Wen Yining didn't ask him how he got the scars, just as he wouldn't ask about the explicit content of the movie.

Instead, he felt that once he became famous, nothing else mattered, and his values ​​had been unconsciously changed after entering this industry.

Xia Sheng was almost brought to tears by the director of Group B. The atmosphere was cold and numb, and the people around him seemed to be used to it and did not regard it as anything new.

Wen Yining comforted her for a few words, then prepared to wrap up work. Feng Yan was going to take her out to eat.

"I happen to be free today, let's have a meal together."

"sure."

She originally intended to go, but then she received a WeChat message from Shen Yueze on her phone.

What time does your film crew finish work?

How many days until it ends?

I'll be back for dinner later.

Wen Yining took a few more glances at the wounds on Feng Yan's neck, and couldn't help but ask, "Have you encountered any accidents these past few days?"

Feng Yan: "What unexpected thing could happen?"

-

Dai Anning also shared gossip with the two girls in their dormitory group chat.

Did you know that Feng Yan has been targeted by a female agent?!

[That agent likes guys like him, but he's over 40. He didn't agree at first, but he must have promised him some things, like resources and making him famous. Now there's a movie offer for him.]

Who is this agent?

Fei Qing is incredibly talented.

This person originally worked at Dongyang Entertainment, but later left after having some unpleasantness with the boss.

Dai Anning: [She used to like guys like Feng Yan, and the last male celebrity she promoted was similar; he was a bit controlling.]

[Some people are saying that Feng Yan was involved in a S/M relationship with a certain male big shot, but I think that's a bit far-fetched, right?]

However, he does have a lot more luxury goods now, and he's moved out of the dorm. He also broke up with his girlfriend at school, probably at Fei Qing's request.

Whether you're a female or male celebrity, it's not easy to make a living.

This led to a conversation about eight male lovers of a certain male tycoon from more than 10 years ago, all of whom were popular male celebrities.

When this big shot went to prison, everyone thought he would be released soon, and many male celebrities even visited him in prison.

...

...

...

After reading their gossip, Wen Yining felt complicated and indescribable, a kind of inexplicable depression.

He didn't reply to anything for a while.

Feng Yan was once the most outstanding boy she knew. He was first in his major, popular, had a good personality, and was good at dealing with people. He was far removed from any of the dark and wicked negative traits.

She thought he would get married and have children early and stay on the right track, but now it seems that it can't be said that he has gone astray...

The money she earned was probably more than she could ever earn in her lifetime. The prevailing social value is that being rich equals being successful, and that money means having everything.

Even some admirable qualities are used to describe the rich.

Therefore, Feng Yan felt sorry for her because she didn't cherish the opportunity to make movies, but he could understand it.

For him, the opportunity she received was something countless people dreamed of.

-

Exhausted, she entered the password, opened the door, and a small white dog excitedly rushed towards her.

Wen Yining was startled and excitedly asked, "Is this your new dog?"

Samoyeds have fluffy fur and are still very small, only a few months old. They are very affectionate, with their fluffy fur all over their bodies, like a little milky white ball. The feeling of them wagging their tails quickly and grinning as they rub against your legs seems to heal all the pent-up emotions in an instant.

"So cute!"

She petted the dog, a smile playing on her lips.

Shen Yueze strolled slowly from the restaurant, his hands in his pockets.

"My relative's dog was unwanted, so they sent it to me. You can keep it if you want."

Wen Yining: "You really don't want your relatives anymore?"

I calculated the allowance he gives me each month, and it's more than enough to support a puppy.

I didn't keep pets before because I didn't have enough space and I didn't have enough money.

The dog costs several hundred dollars a month just for food, and it's a large breed with a big appetite. Judging from what he feeds Tianlang, it costs at least ten thousand dollars a month.

She doesn't even have enough money for herself, let alone adding a dog. But if she moves from the apartment, she can't bring it back to the dorm... Dogs are different from cats.

So I didn't agree immediately.

She crouched down to play with the dog, which kept licking her hand but didn't bite. It had a very gentle temperament. "It's so cute, only a few months old."

Shen Yueze squatted down next to her, stroked the Samoyed a few times, and sensed her hesitation. He said lazily, "If you don't have time, just leave it here with me for now. Play with it every time you come."

Wen Yining was still a little hesitant. She didn't come here often, and if she did, she would definitely have to sleep with him again...?

I have to sleep with the dog just to see it...

But if I were to raise them myself, I really wouldn't have time to take them for walks every day.

But since the Samoyed happened to be her favorite dog, she couldn't help but ask, "By the way, what's its name?"

Since it's a relative's dog, it must have a name, right?

Shen Yueze: "Pipi."

He paused for a second, then said, "You can change your name if you want."

“No need to change.”

Seeing Pipi rubbing against her, Wen Yining asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Feed him/her a little something."

The dog eats very quickly, as if afraid that wolves will come and steal its food, but it doesn't guard its food from humans.

She took out her phone and snapped a few photos. While taking the photos, she couldn't help but think of the pile of sexy lingerie and toys she had found in the bedroom.

I glanced at his nonchalant expression a few times, hesitated for a moment, and didn't ask.

She had been to this house a few times before. There were no women's belongings there; it was clean and tidy, except for the dog's toys, a few of his coats lying on the sofa, and even the slippers were all men's style.

The scent is very unique; I can't quite put my finger on whether it's perfume or something else. I've heard people say that men have a unique hormonal scent, and that it varies from person to person. If you find it pleasant, then it's a result of genetic selection.

I don't know if it's true or not.

-

During the meal, his phone kept ringing with messages from Ye Qingchi in the group chat.

He casually clicked to listen to the audio, "Damn you, Shen Yueze, you made money again, and quite a lot of it."

The following are several pictures, photos of the racetrack.

They gambled on many things: sports, racing, golf. Wen Yining saw that the amounts were very high, none less than 100,000.

In the second voice message, Ye Qingchi was halfway through speaking when Li Xiayi's voice came through—

"Did this female race car driver have a crush on Shen Yueze? She's amazing! At first, I thought she was some minor celebrity visiting..."

Wen Yining ate silently. Hearing a familiar sound, he looked up at the phone screen opposite him. The screen was on a photo he had enlarged. It was a girl in a racing suit, holding a helmet. He couldn't see her face clearly, but since Li Xiayi had mentioned the word "celebrity," she was probably very pretty.

Shen Yueze has a wide social circle, including many people she has never met before, including quite a few girls.

She has also met guys who are very popular with the opposite sex. If you don't make them your boyfriend, you'll have a very pleasant time with them.

After he finished listening, she finally spoke, "I want to act in Shi Yuheng's movie."

Shen Yueze locked his phone, thought for a couple of seconds, and asked, "That art film?"

"Have you told Cheng Yuzhou?"

"Um."

Cheng Yuzhou knows more about the entertainment industry than he does; with a little inquiry, he should be able to figure out what kind of career path that person is taking.

-

That night, Wen Yining didn't leave and was more obedient than usual in bed.

She thought that even if he found out one day, he could still remember their past relationship.

He was in high spirits, and seeing that she was cooperating so well for the first time, he changed positions however he asked.

He said, quite surprised, "Did you take the wrong medicine?"

At her age, she was full of energy, but she felt like she hadn't ejaculated for a long time and was extremely tired.

After it was over, I didn't even want to take a shower.

When I woke up, he had already left. After hesitating for a long time, I still didn't mention what type of film Shi Yuheng wanted to shoot.

Sooner or later, Shen Yueze will find out. Let's keep it a secret for as long as we can.

...

/

-

She changed her mind in less than a week. When Shi Yuheng saw her, he wasn't too surprised. He said in a flat tone, "I guessed you would come. I just didn't expect it to be so quick. The resources your rich boyfriend introduced to you have fallen through, right?"

Wen Yining looked embarrassed and didn't explain much, just said, "Mm."

"Having money is useless, really."

Shi Yuheng arranged to meet at a restaurant, but several important actors had not yet arrived. "Even if he comes up with millions or tens of millions to promote you, it won't make a difference. Besides, at his age, he doesn't have much money at all."

"You'll understand in time."

"I was too naive."

Before coming, she thought a lot, from the scars on Feng Yan's body...

Staff members who get scolded on set...

Then there are the top celebrities who have three assistants serving them...

Even if you play supporting roles until the end of time, you'll only ever remain a nobody.

Shi Yuheng served her some food, frowning as he complained, "Actually, those old men with influence in the film industry really like casting prostitutes as leads."

"At first, they wanted me to write this kind of character so I could win an award. Too many people have already made this kind of film, and I don't like it. It's too cliché."

"Eight actresses who won Best Actress awards were in this type of profession,"

What I'm trying to say is that if you can't change the environment, you can only adapt to it.

The movie is called "Absurd Relationship". It's a taboo film. The male and female leads are having an affair. The male lead is the same as her. This unknown actor isn't exactly handsome, but he's very memorable and has a lot of sexual tension. He doesn't talk much and is quite polite to her. In the early conversations, he doesn't make any dirty jokes.

Li Wu added her on WeChat. He was a slow-to-warm-up person: "Please take care of me, let's improve together."

"Um."

"You look exactly like the character described in the script."

"The same to you."

Shen Yueze noticed that she had been chatting with this person frequently lately, but there were no ambiguous topics, so he didn't pay any attention to it.

-

Wen Yining thought it would be at least several months later, or until the movie was released, before Shen Yueze would find out.

After all, he had never been to a film set, nor had he read the complete script. He was on tenterhooks while filming, but he also enjoyed it.

Shen Yueze took her out to dinner that day. At the dinner, Cheng Yuzhou brought along Lin Ni, whom Jiang Shan had long admired and who was the actress Jiang Shan had gossiped about with for a long time.

Why do we say he's long heard of her? Because Lin Ni and Shi Yuheng are friends and have a very good personal relationship. When he first wanted to make a movie, it was she who helped him get the investment.

A few barks came from the phone. Aunt Zhang was video calling her from Zhaoshan Apartment. Pipi was playing on the balcony, a ball in its mouth, running around happily. Tianlang and Pipi had a good relationship.

Aunt Zhang also said, "Pipi has a good personality, and she made some good friends when she went out to play."

Wen Yining missed her dog a little. "Pipi is so cute. Its original owner must have been reluctant to give it up."

Aunt Zhang remembered that Shen Yueze bought the dog, so it didn't have any original owner, but she didn't say anything more about it.

She's been keeping him at his house lately, and when she goes over, he plays with Pipi.

-

Celebrities are celebrities; seeing Lin Ni up close is even more stunning than seeing her on camera.

She had no makeup, her hair was styled in a low bun, and she wore gorgeous earrings and expensive jewelry. Her features were delicate, and she wore a tight-fitting bodycon dress. She had a large bust and a slim waist, and her temperament was full of feminine charm. She had the classic fox-like appearance and was very alluring.

Cheng Yuzhou's hand rested on her fair thigh; their intimate behavior clearly indicated their relationship.

The rumors Jiang Shan gave her were quite accurate.

Wen Yining looked at Lin Ni curiously, and Lin Ni was looking at her too.

Then, he turned his gaze to Shen Yueze beside him.

He ordered food casually, without asking her or anyone else if she liked it, but Wen Yining always thought he ordered very well.

Lin Ni suddenly asked, "Is this your boyfriend?"

She didn't reply.

Lin Ni added, "Does Shi Yuheng know? You're quite greedy, dating two people at the same time."

Wen Yining's expression changed, realizing what she meant, and she simply explained, "I have no other connection with the director."

Lin Ni smiled knowingly, clearly not believing it.

Hearing their conversation, Shen Yueze glanced at Lin Ni and asked Wen Yining, "Shi Yuheng is pursuing you?"

"No."

He didn't take this person seriously from the start because he found that Wen Yining's preferences were quite consistent.

Whether it's the male celebrity she's chasing or Feng Yan by her side, they're all the same type.

Shi Yuheng is a bit old, over thirty, and doesn't have much money. He's too ordinary, like an impotent artsy guy.

It's clearly not to her taste.

-

During the meal, Wen Yining became restless, her heart was beating faster and faster than usual, she felt anxious and suffocated, and she felt both hot and cold. She spoke less and glanced at Lin Ni every now and then.

Lin Ni's attention was also on her, and she was watching with great interest. For some reason, she felt that Lin Yi was particularly interested in her, always looking at her with a probing gaze...

However, the two had no vested interests at all, and she was not a top female celebrity like Jiang Shan, so there was no competition for resources.

Feeling inexplicably humble, and still not full, she told Shen Yueze, "I'm really sleepy today, I'm leaving now."

Shen Yueze was puzzled: "You're full after eating so little?"

"I don't have much of an appetite."

Wen Yining took a few sips of white wine, her guilt and unease almost overwhelming her. Lin Ni's probing made her very uncomfortable, as she felt there was something more to it.

At this moment, Lin Ni slowly spoke up: "I didn't expect a young master like you to be so magnanimous."

Knowing that he was Cheng Yuzhou's cousin, this family's background was so deep that it was impossible to find out anything about them.

Shen Yueze: "What do you mean?"

"You agree to let your girlfriend make Category III films?"

Cheng Yuzhou suddenly interrupted her, annoyed: "Why the hell are you being so nosy? What business is it of yours to meddle in their affairs?"

Wen Yining didn't dare look at Shen Yueze, only hoping that Cheng Yuzhou could help her keep it a secret.

Cheng Yuzhou is her boss. Having been in the industry for over a decade, he naturally knows that this shortcut is a great option. After becoming famous, she can also make money for the company. However, she has to keep it a secret from her cousin. Moreover, she feels that the two of them won't be able to sleep together for long, and that Shen Yueze will need to find someone new after a while.

Shen Yueze glanced at Wen Yining coolly and said in a cold voice, "Continue."

Seeing his reaction, Lin Ni found it even more amusing and said with a smile, "You didn't know? I thought you did."

"It's Shi Yuheng's current project, 'Absurd Relationship,' which contains many explicit sex scenes,"

"Shi Yuheng has a peculiar habit: he really enjoys taking pictures of women's waists and hips. He thinks that's the most sexy part of a woman's body, so all the girls who come to audition have to take off their clothes and show them to him."

"I even got the investment for this film for him. We've been friends for over ten years, and I know him very well,"

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Although he's not as handsome as you, he's very talented, and many young girls are infatuated with him."

The private room fell silent for a good five or six seconds before the others stopped their lively conversation.

Seeing that he couldn't hide it any longer, Cheng Yuzhou hurriedly interrupted again: "What nonsense are you spouting, Lin Ni? Everyone knows about your past mess. You're a fucking psychopath. Has being in the entertainment industry for so long warped your mind?"

Cheng Yuzhou noticed his cousin's gloomy expression: "Shen Yueze..."

He asked coldly, "You knew all along? You deliberately kept it from me?"

Cheng Yuzhou dragged his chair back in frustration and cursed, "It's not what you think. This is a quick way to become famous, and I don't think there's anything wrong with it. It's not like you're going to make a movie. It's the kind of movie that can be shown in theaters. Don't listen to Lin Ni's nonsense. She's Shi Yuheng's ex-girlfriend, understand?"

"As for Wen Yining and Shi Yuheng, there was nothing improper about it..."

Wen Yining was extremely tense, her heart was about to jump out of her chest, and she was startled by the loud "bang", not knowing what Shen Yueze had smashed.

Her face was pale, her throat was hoarse, and she tried to explain. She looked up at him guiltily. His face was gloomy and he exuded a strong sense of oppression, as if he was suppressing his emotions.

"I originally wanted to tell you after filming wrapped up."

"Why the hell didn't you wait until you slept with him before telling me?"

Shen Yueze lifted the person up from the chair and carried him towards the door as if he were dragging an object.

Cheng Yuzhou sensed something was wrong, that it was all over… He had always suspected his cousin of engaging in sadomasochistic practices in bed, and Wen Yining was, after all, an artist in his company; he couldn't afford for anything to happen to her. He quickly got up and nervously approached him to try and calm him down, “Shen Yueze, don't be so angry, listen to me…”

He was too lazy to settle accounts with his cousin now, and said in a deep voice, "You wait, I'll settle her accounts first."

A note from the author:

He didn't take Shi Yuheng seriously; deep down, he only felt threatened by Feng Yan. It's like how girls think all cheating guys are the seductive type. [laughing emoji][laughing emoji]

But in reality, Shi Yuheng is talented, with a high nose bridge, single eyelids, and a handsome appearance.

Xu Zean, Fei Qing, and Lin Ni have all appeared before.

Shih Yu-heng's films aren't actually Category III, I haven't gone into detail here, but they're similar to the ones shown in Apple Daily. There are many similar films.
