Chapter 59 Jiang Shunian is sick; it's said that the experience is better after a fever.

They say absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Even though Jiang Shunian had been determined not to let Fu Yanli have her so easily, Fu Yanli's passionate kiss quickly awakened his memories of the ultimate pleasure he had experienced, eroding his will and causing Jiang Shunian to respond subconsciously.

Because of the short time, Fu Yanli didn't stay long. Fifty minutes later, he carried Jiang Shunian to wash up.

Jiang Shunian felt weak all over, as if both his body and mind were relaxed.

Fu Yanli really liked having Jiang Shunian lie on top of him, their skin completely pressed together.

Jiang Shunian seemed to have lost weight again; now only his buttocks still had some flesh. Fu Yanli touched his thin back, feeling very sorry for him.

"Do you want to take a nap?" Fu Yanli asked.

Jiang Shunian shook his head; he wasn't sleepy yet.

"Did something happen?" Fu Yanli keenly sensed that Jiang Shunian's mood was not quite right.

“Yes, a little,” Jiang Shunian replied.

The filming progress has been slow recently because the director has very strict requirements.

This was the most demanding job Jiang Shunian had encountered since joining the crew; the attention to detail was almost to the point of being nitpicky.

Even though Jiang Shunian had prepared thoroughly, memorized his lines perfectly, and fully understood the character's inner thoughts, there were still times when he had to do several takes.

Many actors in the crew were criticized to the point of doubting themselves. Jiang Shunian was also criticized. The director's original words were, "Don't think that just because you have formal training, played a few roles, and received some praise from fans, you can call yourself a great actor. You are far from it."

Jiang Shunian truthfully told Fu Yanli about her recent experiences, not because she felt wronged, but because she was very fortunate: "Yanli, I have indeed been a bit arrogant lately. My fans like me very much and keep praising me. People around me rarely deny my acting skills, so I really think I am very good and a qualified actor."

Fu Yanli listened attentively, then replied, "Shu Nian, I've watched all the TV dramas you've acted in. I'm an outsider, so I can't offer any very constructive suggestions. I just feel that you might rely too much on the acting methods taught in school. No matter what you do, it seems like you're always within that framework. Also, while the characters you choose are very well-developed, they lack depth and are rather one-dimensional."

Jiang Shunian, who had been nestled in Fu Yanli's arms, sat up abruptly upon hearing these words, meeting his gaze with bright eyes: "Yanli, you said exactly the same thing as Director Zheng! How are you so amazing that you even know about acting!"

“Because I care about you a lot.” Fu Yanli pulled him back into his arms. “Actually, at your age, this level of acting is enough, and no one has ever stipulated that. But I know you won’t be satisfied with this. I believe you can successfully transform and improve your acting skills.”

Jiang Shunian couldn't help but sob. Fu Yanli understood him!

When Director Zheng scolded them, some actors in the crew would say behind his back that he was too harsh, insisting on reshooting many scenes even though they could have been done.

But Jiang Shunian didn't think so, because he felt that Director Zheng had hit the nail on the head. He did have a problem with acting technique, especially since Fu Yanli had also pointed out the same shortcoming.

Jiang Shunian suddenly felt a little insecure: "Now that you've noticed so many problems with me, don't you think I'm not capable at all?"

When Director Zheng scolded her, Jiang Shunian's mentality collapsed, and she even doubted whether she was suitable to be an actress.

“No, baby.” Fu Yanli responded immediately, giving firm encouragement, “You will always be perfect in my eyes. Shu Nian, you are only twenty-six years old. You still have plenty of time to hone your acting skills. I will accompany you until you stand at the peak.”

A lover who can say sweet words is a real plus. Jiang Shunian snuggled into Fu Yanli's arms and unconsciously used a soft, hesitant way of speaking: "You are too, you are my perfect lover."

At this moment, Jiang Shunian really wished he could immediately announce to the world that Fu Yanli was his partner.

Therefore, he must continue to work hard.

When Jiang Shunian returned to the set, she worked even harder than before. She wasn't afraid of being scolded and revised the script again and again, completely following Director Zheng's requirements.

Sometimes, they are even stricter than Director Zheng's requirements.

When not filming, he would carry a small stool and sit next to the monitor to watch the footage.

As a result, Director Zheng completely changed his opinion of Jiang Shunian and became increasingly willing to give him guidance.

As the New Year approached, the weather grew colder and colder. However, Jiang Shunian had a motorhome and an extra-long down jacket that Nuonuo had bought for him, so he didn't feel cold when he wasn't filming. But unfortunately, his costume was thin, and the temperature dropped sharply at night. Even though his assistant had brewed brown sugar ginger tea, Jiang Shunian still caught a cold.

I didn't pay much attention at first, but one day after filming, I felt dizzy and realized that I had a fever.

Jiang Shunian rarely gets sick and has always been healthy. Even during her first time with Fu Yanli, she only suffered a tear and did not have a fever. Afterwards, Fu Yanli used medicinal jade to nourish her, and even her fear of cold was cured.

But this cold was quite severe, and the medicine didn't help. He wanted to keep going, but Director Zheng sent him back to the hotel to rest.

The assistant wanted Jiang Shunian to go to the hospital for a check-up, but Jiang Shunian was afraid of injections, so she refused, saying that she would be fine after taking the medicine and resting.

He seemed to have slept for a long time before being woken up by someone.

He felt someone prying open his legs and then pushing something warm and soft into his body...

Jiang Shunian struggled to open his eyes and saw that Fu Yanli was preparing medicine for him. He was shocked and felt a little wronged. Was Fu Yanli going too far? He still had a fever, why was he still doing this?

He suddenly remembered seeing something in the super topic that said having a high fever would provide a better experience.

Does Fu Yanli also want to give it a try?

Jiang Shunian's facial expressions were always very rich and easy to understand. Fu Yanli understood, and the worried expression on his face instantly turned into helplessness: "Shunian, I'm not that thirsty."

Huh? He didn't say it out loud.

Jiang Shunian was somewhat embarrassed and quickly denied it: "I didn't say anything. But why did you give me the medicinal jade?"

"Because rectal administration works faster." Fu Yanli explained as he deftly pushed the medicine in. "After receiving the message from your assistant, I consulted a doctor, who said that if we don't want to go to the hospital, we can use this method. Let's observe for another two hours. If the fever still doesn't subside, I'll take you to the hospital."

"Okay." Jiang Shunian nodded obediently.

Jiang Shunian remembered that he had been sick when he was a child, but no one noticed. Even if they did, they would just give him some medicine.

At that time, Jiang Shunian thought that he must never get sick in the future, because no one would take care of him.

But now, Fu Yanli takes meticulous care of him, taking his temperature, feeding him warm water, wiping his sweat, cleaning his body, and even massaging his joints that are sore from the fever. Jiang Shunian then realizes that being sick is not scary.

"Yanli, I love you," Jiang Shunian said, reaching out his arms as if to be embraced.

Fu Yanli was equally generous, holding him in his arms and gently stroking his back: "I know, I do too, I love you very much."

Jiang Shunian nestled in Fu Yanli's arms and quickly fell asleep again.

When he woke up again, he didn't know if it was the effect of the medicinal jade, but his fever had subsided.

Nono also made a large video call to him, asking about his health with concern.

“Dad, I wanted to come see you, but Uncle wouldn’t let me.” Nono was still a little angry when she mentioned this. “I’m very worried about Dad.”

Jiang Shunian's eyes were gentle, and her tone was soft: "Dad was worried that the baby would catch a cold, but my fever has already subsided, so Nuonuo doesn't need to worry."

Nuonuo was easy to coax, and he also knew Fu Yanli's concerns: "Then Daddy needs to get better quickly."

"Okay, Dad will."

Jiang Shunian was almost fully recovered by the next morning. She was supposed to go to the film set, but Fu Yanli made her rest for another day.

As the Lunar New Year approached, Fu was not particularly busy; in fact, she was even more relaxed than before.

Because the Fu family always completes its annual plan ahead of schedule, there is no need to rush to meet performance targets at the end of the year.

This year, in particular, due to the economic summit and the widespread popularity of live streaming, Fu's has had many more collaborations, resulting in record-high profits and doubled employee bonuses.

This made people from other companies very envious, and it almost became a trending topic online again.

Many people went to Fu's official Weibo account to leave comments, asking if President Fu was interested in expanding the company's business empire further, as they were very willing to work for Fu's.

Pei Qingrong even joked with Fu Yanli about this, saying that with the Fu family involved, it made them capitalists seem too heartless.

Fu Yanli hit the nail on the head: "So that's why you didn't poach Lu Qinghe."

When Pei Qingrong won Lu Qinghe back, he sent a message to Fu Yanli in the middle of the night and sent him ten super-large red envelopes to thank Fu Yanli for taking care of Lu Qinghe before.

Later, Pei Qingrong strongly invited Lu Qinghe to work for Pei's company, saying that he could pay the penalty for breach of contract.

But Lu Qinghe kept refusing.

He really liked the work atmosphere at Fu's. The boss was a seasoned professional with ample funds, and the researchers were all top-notch individuals. They were all very friendly and never chatted outside of work.

Pei Qingrong's smile slowly disappeared: "President Fu is ruthless enough."

Jiang Shunian was very interested in their story and couldn't help but laugh when he heard it.

But what Fu Yanli told him next made Jiang Shunian's smile vanish.

Fu Yanli said that he had found something to hold about the person behind the Qin family, and he would take action after the New Year.

During this time, Fu Yanli never gave up investigating that person, and finally, through the connections provided by Pei Qingrong, he found something to hold against that person.

It turns out that Qin Guanyue had always treated his artists as commodities to be offered up.

Those unfortunate people were either coerced or drugged, and because they were filmed, they dared not speak out.

One year, they even organized a talent show specifically for girls aged seventeen or eighteen. They used loopholes in the contracts to force them to participate, and if they didn't, they would face exorbitant penalties for breach of contract.

They are a bunch of heartless beasts.

No wonder he was on good terms with the Qin family; they were birds of a feather.

Jiang Shunian was furious upon hearing this, wishing he could personally send them in.

This industry is indeed somewhat chaotic, filled with countless unspoken rules, but this is the first time he has ever heard of such a cruel and blatant one.

"Yanli, I beg you to completely eradicate them, otherwise who knows how many more people will suffer!"

Fu Yanli patted Jiang Shunian on the shoulder to comfort him. He had also found the information shocking and disgusting.

He will plan carefully, striving for a decisive strike, and never give them a chance to escape sanctions.

"Don't worry, I will do it."

Jiang Shunian nodded; he trusted Fu Yanli.

But he always felt uneasy, though he didn't know where it came from.
