Chapter 59 Chapter 59 No matter how unreasonable I am, it is not considered as excessive...

The filming of "Love in the Rain" was not going smoothly, and the director had a gloomy face almost every day.

The second male lead is an elegant and gentle young man from an aristocratic family, but this Xu Lemian just can't act out the effect he wants.

I've emphasized eight hundred times that I need to exercise to stay in shape, but after more than a month, I haven't grown any muscle at all, and my already skinny body has become even thinner.

The key point is that you say the appearance is not enough, but good acting skills will be fine too.

But his acting is also a mess.

He turned a pampered gentleman senior into a sentimental and jealous white lotus.

The director was so angry.

The girl who plays the second female lead stays up late every day to analyze the script, and takes the initiative to follow her senior and humbly ask for advice. She is also a wealthy woman with capital, so why doesn't she do the same as him?

If he wasn't afraid of offending the big money sponsor behind this kid, he would rather pay out of his own pocket to reshoot the second male lead and kick him out!

The actor who played the male lead was his former student. Seeing the teacher looking so sad, he couldn't help but come over to comfort him: "Teacher, drink some water, are you okay?"

"Not very good." The director took the water bottle depressedly, "Tell me, why did you have to shove this person in front of me... You might as well give me that assistant!"

The lead actor didn't give him any face at all: "You wish! If that assistant really wants to debut, will it still be your turn, teacher?"

"You kid!" The director hit his arm. "I'm serious. His temperament and face... Tsk tsk, he was born to be in the spotlight. It's a pity that he didn't enter the entertainment industry."

"His temperament can't play into the script." The lead actor said, "He's too unique, he can't pretend, there's no room for shaping."

"If he is willing to act, why would there be a script tailor-made for him?" the director snorted, "Alas, the gap between people..."

"Cough cough!" The male protagonist coughed violently twice and nudged him with his elbow.

The director looked up and saw Xu Lemian, whose face had turned the color of liver. His smile suddenly collapsed: "Are we there? Okay, let's start shooting."

He had given up and was too lazy to explain the play to this person.

Xu Lemian has too many ideas of his own. On the surface, he accepts it humbly, but in fact, he still acts in his own way and doesn't listen to what he says at all. So what else can he say?

The director now only hopes that everyone else can perform at their best and save the show, so that when it is aired everyone will blame the only person who performed poorly instead of the entire crew.

Many of these leading actors are good kids, and he can't let a single bad apple spoil the whole barrel.

Xu Lemian felt so uncomfortable when he saw his indifferent attitude.

It’s not that he’s a bad actor!

But he couldn't breathe when he thought that this script was forced on him by Leng Yunting out of selfish motives. Others simply couldn't understand this feeling of humiliation, so why did they blame him?

He is not like Leng Yunting, who was born into a wealthy family. He is also not a professional actor or actress like them. No one taught him. How could he possibly play a character he doesn't understand at all?

Xu Lemian plucked up the courage and found the male lead, hoping to learn some acting skills from him.

The male lead was a little surprised and declined apologetically: "I'm sorry, the characters we play have different personalities. It's difficult for me to get into the role and get out of it. I may not be able to help you now."

Xu Lemian went to find another leading actor in disappointment, but was also rejected.

But it is obvious that they will help the rich second-generation star who plays the second female lead.

Xu Lemian felt a little sad. Even though she knew that most people in society were picky and malicious towards others, she still couldn't help feeling sad.

It would be nice if he also came from a wealthy family...

There was a sudden commotion from the crew.

Xu Lemian looked up and saw Chi Ke, who was wearing a white shirt and casual suit pants, stepping out of the car, and the director, who had just ignored him, was walking towards him with a smile on his face.

Chi Ke smiled politely, stretched out his hand and shook hands with the other party in a friendly manner.

Wear less in summer, and thin clothes will show your figure better.

The hem of his shirt was neatly tucked into his belt, and his cuffs were rolled up to his elbows. His arms, exposed to everyone's view, were lean and strong, and his legs under his suit pants were straight and slender, with broad shoulders and a thin back, but not slender. He had a standard adult male body.

Xu Lemian couldn't help but think: Maybe the director's requirements for me are this kind of figure...

Seeing Chi Ke coming over, he asked directly: "Chi Zhu, what do you usually eat for three meals?"

Chi Ke was stunned by the question and quickly replied, "Eat."

Xu Lemian: “.”

Xu Lemian: "Are you more specific?"

"You want to gain muscle?" The director just complained about a bunch of problems with Xu Lemian. Chi Ke saw through what he wanted to ask at a glance. "I remember the company assigned you a personal trainer. Our situation is different. Didn't he make a diet plan based on your own problems?"

Xu Lemian choked: "The food he asked me to eat is very high in calories."

"You're too thin." Chi Ke took out his phone and took two photos of him. "The personal trainer must have arranged this for a reason."

The chairman heard about the recent trouble between Leng Yunting and Xu Lemian and asked him to come over and take a look today. He took two photos so that he could report to his superiors.

Xu Lemian bit her lip: "But..."

But Leng Yunting said that this was just right for him.

If he builds up muscles, Leng Yunting might get tired of him. What will happen to his mother and sister then?

"You make your own choice." Chi Ke finished shooting and prepared to leave.

"Mr. Chi is leaving now?" The director was a little reluctant. After all, when he was present, everyone's work enthusiasm would double. "Can you stay a little longer?"

"I also want to chat with you for a while, but I'm too busy at work." Chi Ke nodded apologetically.

"Then next time you're free, Mr. Chi, come and have dinner with us!" The male lead who had just finished a scene greeted enthusiastically.

Watching them talking and laughing, Xu Lemian felt extremely awkward. He always felt that he was more insignificant and dispensable than the assistants who served others.

Why is Chi Ke always so lucky?

Xu Lemian couldn't help but think of the scene he saw at the school gate more than ten years ago.

Several men in neat suits surrounded a shiny extended luxury car, standing out like a crane among chickens, and seemed out of place among the parents riding bicycles and tricycles.

The luxury car reflected a dazzling light under the setting sun, like a foreign object from another world that had intruded into this place.

Students leaving school poured out of the campus like a tide, passing by those special people and the luxury car, most of them not paying any attention.

There was only a man who was so thin that he looked like he would be blown away by the wind at any time, moving slowly and draggingly towards the car.

Xu Lemian's eyes followed the figure's back closely, and an indescribable bitterness rose at the root of his tongue.

The car door opened and an old man who looked very elegant got out. His hair was grey but he looked very energetic.

Under the curious and envious gazes of the onlookers, he gently patted the student on the shoulder, and the student, like a darling chosen by fate, followed the old man into the car.

I heard from my desk mate that the classmate could not afford the tuition and was about to drop out, but the chairman of Zhenting Group sponsored him and also donated a sum of money to the school.

Xu Lemian acted as if he didn't care at the time.

But that night he had a dream.

He saw himself being led by the hand by the elegant man, walking towards the luxury car, and then being taken to a prosperous metropolis full of infinite possibilities.

There were tall buildings, busy traffic, and flashing neon lights, everything was something he had never seen before.

When the first ray of sunlight in the morning shone on his face through the gap in the curtains, he woke up from his dream. A huge sense of loss overwhelmed him like a tide. His eyes gradually became moist and tears flowed uncontrollably. He couldn't understand why good luck always came to inconspicuous people.

In the days that followed, this curiosity and unwillingness grew wildly like weeds.

He asked around for the lucky man's name, but came up empty-handed every time.

That person was like a shooting star, which briefly passed through his world and then disappeared without a trace. Not long after, he received news that the person had transferred to a key school in the neighboring city.

Xu Lemian felt regretful and unwilling.

For a long time, whenever he encountered setbacks or felt frustrated in life, that person would involuntarily appear in his mind and become the object he used to escape reality and replace it in his fantasy.

He often imagined how wonderful and smooth life would be if he were the one who won the jackpot.

Later, he came to S City and met Leng Yunting, the assistant named Chi Ke who was always available and quietly walked into his life.

Xu Lemian didn't recognize the other person at all.

At first he just felt sorry for the other person.

He has to be very careful in trying to figure out other people's intentions when doing anything. He has become so thin that he looks like a ghost. His daily life is a mechanical repetition of the same routine. He is lifeless and devoid of energy. He is like a stagnant pool of water that does not bring up a ray of hope.

Xu Lemian couldn't help but lend him a helping hand.

When Leng Yunting took him out for dinner, he would ask her to come along, because working two hours overtime in exchange for a meal at a high-end restaurant was worth it; when Leng Yunting gave him a gift, he would ask her to open it together to experience the joy of receiving it; he even deliberately asked her to go out to play at night several times, just to arouse her passion, because Leng Yunting would definitely ask him to arrange the itinerary and drive along...

It was not until a while ago that his mother came here and told him that Chi Ke was the lucky one chosen by Mr. Leng.

The moment he heard the news, Xu Lemian felt mixed emotions.

He didn't expect that the person who was once favored by fate would now be so destitute.

At the same time, I feel a little happy.

Because it turned out that temporary luck didn't play a big role. In this regard, he seemed to be much luckier than Chi Ke. At least he had a place in S City through his own efforts.

But later, what happened to this man was beyond his understanding.

He didn't know how Chi Ke had inexplicably become the head of Xingmian, nor did he know why Chi Ke had become a partner of Dr. Ji's hospital. He also didn't know why, but after not seeing him for a while, this man had suddenly become the "President Chi" who was respected by everyone in Zhenting.

All these changes were too sudden and too bizarre, as if Chi Ke's luck was surging like a tide.

And this time, the momentum is stronger than ever.

In other words, this luck has always been there, it just fluctuates.

Xu Lemian thought: I am lucky to have met someone who is so dedicated to helping him.

After recognizing this man's identity, that strange dream began to haunt him all the time.

Every night when he closed his eyes, he would imagine that those eyes looking at Chi Ke would turn to look at himself, including Leng Yunting.

Xu Lemian was not unaware of the change in Leng Yunting's attitude and eyes towards Chi Ke.

From simple dependence at the beginning, it turned into appreciation and admiration.

This kind of look became a nightmare that woke him up countless times. Later, when he and Leng Yunting started quarreling, he couldn't help but wonder: Will that kind of look turn into admiration one day?

Then everything Leng Yunting had given him, he would give to Chi Ke without hesitation...

Xu Lemian was terrified.

He was so afraid that Chi Ke would take away the only thing he had.

He should hate Chi Ke.

He should be mad with jealousy.

But whenever this thought came to his mind, as long as he looked up and met Chi Ke's eyes that didn't care about anything, he couldn't get angry at all.

What he desperately wanted to possess was worthless in Chi Ke's eyes.

Apart from Dr. Ji, Chi Ke doesn't care about anyone or anything.

In that case...

He already has so much, so the rest should be generously left to him, right? Since he doesn't care about it at all, why not leave it to those who really need and deserve it?

Xu Lemian spent a torturous day and finally made it to the end of the day.

He put on a hat and sunglasses, took a taxi to a restaurant in the suburbs, and met with a private detective with whom his mother had worked many times before.

"Is it him?"

Xu Lemian asked.

"Not sure." The private detective said, "His recent schedule is basically a straight line between Zhenting, his own home, the doctor's home, and the hospital. He has not come into contact with any suspicious persons. Your mother's imprisonment...maybe it wasn't him who did it."

"If not him, who else could it be?!" Xu Lemian suddenly became excited, "He is the only one who has a reason to retaliate against us. If he hadn't discovered that incident, why would he have attacked my mother?"

"Calm down," the private detective said, "Are you sure your mother has no other grudge against him?"

Xu Pei is currently facing a complicated case, and he may be sentenced to life imprisonment. Visits are not allowed at this time.

Xu Lemian didn't know about her mother and Chi Zhengbing. She only knew that her mother was imprisoned not long after the account stopped transferring money to her.

It was hard for him not to connect the two things.

"There can't be any other grudges." Xu Lemian said, "Can you help me get his phone? Check his phone to see if he has contacted an account, and check the bank card bill..."

"No, this is a bit difficult and the risk is too high." The private detective refused without thinking, "I'm not responsible for this, you handle it yourself."

Xu Lemian said, "I was just checking my phone, it didn't hurt him! Okay, forget it. Do you know anyone who can introduce me to someone?"

…

In early September, Chi Ke followed the chairman on a business trip to City A for a week.

Maybe because he was too busy with work and it rained again in City A, he had a low fever two days before his return trip, but he didn't dare tell Ji Qian.

Fortunately, the fever had almost subsided on the day of the return trip, but I was still a little listless.

The chairman saw him listlessly flipping through his iPad and said, half blaming and half worriedly, "Didn't I tell you not to work so hard? I heard that you were cashing in your assets like you were possessed a while ago. I almost thought you were in trouble and were going to run away with the money."

Chi Ke never hides anything when doing things, and said bluntly: "It's just to buy a house."

Just to buy the house next door to Ji Qian as quickly as possible and with full payment.

Ansel must not hear this, otherwise the partner he just cheated will be scared and quit again.

"I know," the old man said unhappily, "After all the calculations, you lost several million to buy that house. What was the point?"

Chi Ke smiled and said, "Just to make yourself feel at ease."

The earlier Ji Qian buys it, the sooner he can feel at ease.

The old man pointed at him angrily and said, "Did the second son of the Ji family cast a spell on you?"

Chi Ke was surprised: "You know about this?"

"I'm not blind." The old man snorted coldly, "You've bought a house right next to his house. Even a fool can see that, right?"

That's not necessarily the case.

Leng Yunting and Xu Lemian are still unaware of what's happening.

Chi Ke is not a public figure and has no plans to have an underground relationship, so he doesn't care about this matter.

Now that the old man knew about it, he was even less shy when answering Ji Qian's call.

Ji Qian was unexpectedly clingy today. I made seven or eight calls. He kept calling even after I sent him a message saying he had boarded the plane.

"We just had an operation. The patient's family member fainted while waiting at the door of the operating room because they were too anxious. They hit their heads on the ground and were taken away for an X-ray. Um... I'm having dinner now, quick-frozen dumplings with your favorite filling..." Ji Qian babbled nonsense without any logic, "I still miss you very much today."

Chi Ke lowered his voice: "Got it, I've already boarded the plane, I'll go home and have a rest later. Tomorrow is a holiday, I'll come to see you in the morning, ok?"

Ji Qian said disappointedly: "Can't you just come today?"

Chi Ke refused cruelly: "Tomorrow, I'm a little tired today."

The other party was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "Honey, if I want to check your phone, will you let me check it?"

Chi Ke did not hesitate: "Okay."

Ji Qian asked again: "What if I want to change your bank card password and bind your family card?"

Chi Ke said: "I'll send you the card number and password later."

Ji Qian insisted: "No matter how unreasonable I am, it's not considered crossing the line, right?"

The cold wind on the plane was quite strong. Chi Ke raised his hand to ask the stewardess for a small blanket. Before he sneezed, he said, "Yes, it's up to you. Okay, we'll talk tomorrow. We're taking off. Bye. Go to bed early. Good night."

He hung up the phone, sneezed quietly, coughed twice, turned around and saw the chairman's indescribable look.

Old Master Leng looked at him as if he were a demon: "He really has cast a spell on you."

Chi Ke never agreed with these comments: "Not really."

Mr. Leng: "What's the first thing you plan to do when you get off the plane?"

Chi Ke: "Report that I am safe."

Mr. Leng: "You are hopeless."

Chi Ke didn't quite understand why everyone said he was in love.

These are obviously what lovers should do.

It was already 11 o'clock in the evening when the plane landed and taxied. He sent a message to Ji Qian, but received no reply. He thought that the man with a healthy schedule should have already gone to bed.

Ji Qian doesn't mute his phone when he sleeps, so Chi Ke didn't send many messages. After reporting that he was safe, he started chatting with another person.

【k: Are you still at my door? 】

[Former Modi: I'm here, boss. They've been waiting for you all day.]

【k: Check how many people there are. 】

[Former Mody: Three people, no weapons, but all of them are tall and strong. Boss, do you want to find some help? ]

【K: Arrange two people to wait nearby, don't alert the enemy, wait for my signal.】

The melodramatic novels about wealthy families are inseparable from the various tracking, robbery and kidnapping by gangsters and thugs.

From Xu Lemian's way of thinking, when the private detective fails to find any clues, it's time for the gangsters to take action.

Chi Ke knew that Xu Lemian couldn't wait too long, but he didn't expect him to be so anxious.

It seems that the secret hidden in Xu Lemian is of great significance to the original owner.

After bidding farewell to the chairman, he put a piece of plum slices from Ji Qianfang's pocket in his mouth, got in a taxi, and set the destination to a location one kilometer away from the community, leaving those people ample room to perform.

Chi Ke would never act rashly unless he was sure of the outcome.

Rather than interrogate Xu Lemian without any information and get a bunch of content whose truth or falsehood he didn't know, he would rather get solid evidence himself and force Xu Lemian to tell the truth.

This matter was not difficult for him to handle, and it was not to the extent that he needed help, so he simply did not tell Ji Qian to avoid him worrying about it.

However, he did not expect the unexpected.

[Former Modi: Damn it! Boss! This is bad!]

[Former Mody: Those three know Lao Er! I just ran into Lao Er who was drinking instant noodles when I was buying cigarettes at the store, and now he's gone!]

Chi Ke: “.”

【k: Go after him, and make sure you catch him. 】

【k: How could it be such a coincidence? 】

[Former Modi: /kneel down/]

[Former Modi: The second brother was detained in the same detention center as them.]

[Former Modi: But don't worry, boss! Our second brother is different from those robbers. Those guys were detained for a long time and then left, but our second brother was sentenced to three years in prison! ]

Chi Ke: “…”

I also make you proud.

Chi Ke's mouth twitched slightly, and he rubbed his temples, signaling the driver to stop the car early.

It would be all over if those people ran back to report.

After getting off the bus, the evening breeze blew into my collar without any defense.

His body was a little weak as he had not yet recovered from a low fever. He took a deep breath, but instead of being stupid enough to rush out with his eyes closed, he quickly bought a bottle of hot juice to replenish his strength, and also bought a knife and anti-wolf spray.

After everything was ready, I searched one by one along the inconspicuous alleys and corners that were monitored by surveillance cameras.

He didn't want to use other relationships for this matter unless it was absolutely necessary.

Just as I was feeling upset, my cell phone suddenly rang and the caller ID of Ji Qian came into view.

Not asleep yet?

Chi Ke closed his eyes and tried to calm his inner irritation. After making sure that he would not vent his anger on Ji Qian, he stared at the map on his phone and pressed the answer button: "What's going on?"

"Look at the location I sent you." Ji Qian's voice came, "Come here, I'm here."
