Chapter 97 Dating at public expense?

After dinner, Meng Anran drove Qin Mu back to Yunduan Group. Seeing that it was still quite early, she went to the place where Meng Yushu was filming.

The new short drama is called "Spring is Like This", which tells the story of the heroine who chased after a scumbag in her previous life. As a result, she suffered heartache and physical torture and was cheated of all her family property. She died with regrets and was finally reborn back to the university campus.

Well, a story about abusing and slapping a scumbag.

The drama was filmed at a private university in the city, where the teaching building is built like the White House and the dormitory building is built like a castle.

The narrow paths on campus are lined with kapok trees. It is the blooming season, and the view is gorgeous and very beautiful.

Today we are scouting here.

Meng Yushu plays the gentle and elegant male lead who has been silently following the female lead. He is gentle and considerate throughout the whole process, and his peach blossom eyes are full of affection when he looks at the female lead.

"Highly sweet warning! Yu Shu's eyes are so perfect, I can't help but want to fall in love!"

"They're young and in love, it's sweet and beautiful! You? Even if you want to date, no one wants you, right?"

"Oh, if I had known earlier, I would have gone to college."

"Is college a cheap thing? You can go to college whenever you want?"

As soon as Meng Anran arrived at the filming location, she heard two staff members next to her whispering to each other while enjoying the clichéd intimate plot of the male and female protagonists.

It is indeed very sweet, and has the atmosphere of youthful love. Even the director behind the monitor has an infatuated smile on his face.

Meng Yushu’s eyes are so affectionate that even he looks at dogs!

She is very suitable for this kind of sweet love drama. It does not require much acting skills, and her peach blossom eyes are very dramatic.

"So sweet! Does Brother Yushu and Xiaoxiao count as a public-funded relationship?"

"Shh, don't say anything. Xiaoxiao is still studying. Even if you are talking about it, you can't make it public. Don't let others hear it."

"Hey, yeah, no."

Two girls with work ID cards were discussing in low voices nearby.

Love at public expense?

Meng Anran looked at the two people who were acting together. The heroine was wearing a uniform and her long brown hair was tied into a high ponytail. She was said to be a college student, but her costume and makeup made her look more like a high school student.

She has a pretty appearance and a good temperament. When she looks at Meng Yushu, there are stars in her eyes, her deer eyes are sparkling, and her face is rosy pink. That kind of stickiness and sweetness does not seem like acting at all.

"Cut! Very good. Now let's get ready to go to the classroom to shoot the next scene." The director gave the order and everyone got busy.

Meng Yushu immediately let go of the actress's waist and took a half step back to keep his distance.

Turning his gaze, he saw Meng Anran, who had been standing beside him for who knows how long. Suddenly, a watery smile appeared on his gentle face, and he walked over quickly. "Anran, when did you arrive?"

When asked when he would return to Beijing, Meng Anran handed over the lemon tea she had just bought at the school cafeteria. "I arrived this morning and had lunch with a friend. I thought I had nothing to do in the afternoon, so I came to see you."

Meng Yushu took the lemon tea, thanked him, opened the bottle and took a sip.

When handing him the cup, their hands touched. His hands were very cold. Seeing that he was only wearing a thin shirt, Meng Anran took out a hand warmer from her bag and said, "How many scenes do you have left? Why don't you wear a jacket?"

The temperature has not warmed up so quickly after the New Year. It rained again in Beijing yesterday. The temperature is quite low today. It is easy to get sick if you don’t keep warm.

"It's okay, this is just an outdoor show. There will be two more in the classroom later." Meng Yushu held the hand warmer in her arms, feeling even warmer in her heart because of her sister's concern.

The director wanted to ask Meng Yushu to go with him to discuss the next scene. Suddenly, he saw the major shareholder standing there.

He quickly stepped over and said, "Hey, Mr. An, why are you here? Are you here to inspect or to visit the production?"

The director is still the familiar director.

Ever since I saw Meng Anran's series of tough... and neat actions to protect her, I have had special respect for her.

Someone who can bankrupt the Chen family with just a few words can naturally also make him unemployed with just a few words. He cannot be offended at all.

Meng Anran didn't care about the past anymore, and said with a smile, "I'm here to visit the set. You guys are busy. I'll just be a transparent person on the side."

The director smiled flatteringly and asked the big Buddha to move.

Yu Xiaoxiao also wanted to go with Meng Yushu, but she saw him walking towards another girl with tenderness in his eyes, and they seemed to be very close.

Hearing the director respectfully calling the other party "Mr. An", he couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Who is that woman? She's pretty. Judging by the way she's dressed, she must be a wealthy second-generation, right?"

"What's so great about being a second-generation rich kid? I guess they want to pursue Yu Shu because he's so handsome. How much real love can they have? Xiao Xiao, you have to persuade Yu Shu to stop him from getting cheated."

The two little followers spoke one by one.

Feeling the gaze coming towards her, Meng Anran glanced over there as she followed the director and met Yu Xiaoxiao's somewhat hostile gaze.

At that moment, a staff member happened to hear the two people's discussion and hurriedly said in a low voice, "You two should speak less! She is Yu Shu's biological sister, our boss's boss!"

"Huh? She looks like she's only 20, right?"

"Don't judge a person by her appearance. She is a major shareholder of Yunchuan!" The staff member warned a few people with his eyes and turned away.

The number one henchman's eyes lit up immediately, and he tugged at Yu Xiaoxiao's sleeve, "Xiaoxiao, since that girl is from a wealthy second-generation family, then Brother Yu Shu must also be from a wealthy family. You've got to seize the opportunity!"

The hostility in Yu Xiaoxiao's eyes immediately disappeared, and she pursed her lips with a hint of embarrassment, "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't like Yu Shu for his money."

The filming location was moved to the classroom.

In order not to disturb Meng Yushu's filming, Meng Anran wanted to find a corner to stay in, but the director brought a bench and gave her his comfortable canvas chair.

She didn't hesitate and sat behind the monitor with the director.

Watching the two of them performing various sweet scenes, Meng Anran suddenly asked, "What is the background of this heroine?"

The director was stunned for a moment, then realized that Dafo was asking about the actress's identity and quickly replied, "She doesn't have much background. Her name is Yu Xiaoxiao, and she's the campus beauty of this school. We hired her because she's beautiful and fits the role of the heroine."

Meng Anran nodded in understanding.

After a while, he asked again, "Is she dating my brother?"

The director was stunned by the question. He turned his head to look at Meng Anran's expression. Seeing that she didn't show much emotion, he carefully considered his words: "I'm not sure about this. I only saw them during filming. How can I know if they have any contact privately? Besides, our company signs labor contracts with actors, not agency contracts. How can we control whether actors are in a relationship?"

After saying that, he stared at Meng Anran for a few seconds. Seeing no change in her mood, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and turned his attention back to the display screen.

Damn it, why does Mr. An have so many questions today?
