Waking up, Shi Feiye found herself transmigrated into the novel as the wife of a bankrupt magnate. She didn't have the heart to take the remaining money and leave, so she decided, out of consci...
Chapter 192 - Visiting the Set
Regardless of whether it was true or not, he couldn't confirm such a thing in front of others. Zhang Yixin felt so uncomfortable inside, but he could only endure it and put on an aggrieved look:
"We've known each other for so many days, and Sister Xiaoye hasn't told me your true identity yet. You really don't treat me as a friend."
Shi Feiye felt goosebumps all over her body. When did they become friends? How could she not know? However, she did not step on Zhang Yixin's face in public:
"I don't have any status. We all come here to work. Just focus on your work. As for other things, they have nothing to do with our work."
Zhang Yixin choked at these words. This had been the case for the past two days. Although he had tried to get closer to Shi Feiye, she had always been indifferent to him, as if he were no different from the other staff members. Whenever he tried to get closer, she would pretend not to understand and brush him off.
But at this moment, Zhang Yixin only felt fortunate. Fortunately, he hadn't been so obvious and hadn't directly revealed his feelings. Otherwise, this wouldn't have been so easy to resolve.
For someone of Shi Feiye's status, even if she wanted to, it wouldn't work. Her husband would just deal with both her and him, and no one would be in a good situation. He couldn't afford to mess with Zou Lianxun's second brother.
"That's true. I was confused." Zhang Yixin pretended, "My mind is completely messed up from filming all day. Not only is my schedule messed up, but my consciousness is also messed up. It's only been two or three days, and I've already immersed myself in the script and the role."
Zou Lianxun really wanted to kick Zhang Yixin out. Even though he was quite boring, he didn't want to listen to the nonsense of someone with ulterior motives. He was completely meaningless and his mind was as shallow as a puddle of water. He could see through it at a glance.
He was also puzzled. Why would that Jiang guy like this kind of stuff? Are naive girls more attractive, and clever girls less worrying?
Maybe, but Zou Lianxun didn't intend to listen to Zhang Yixin's nonsense and spoke to Shi Feiye:
"Does your crew provide lunch break at noon?"
"You can't take a lunch break today. We still have scenes to shoot at noon. If you are tired, go and rest. Don't worry about me." Shi Feiye was still quite touched that Zou Lianxun came here. Although it was Qin Buzhu who asked him to come, he came after all, didn't he?
"Forget it, I'll just go back to sleep tonight, so I can just take a look at what's going on here." Zou Lianxun seemed to realize that Zhang Yixin was also here. He raised his head and said, "Mr. Zhang, don't you need to think about how to act out that crying scene?"
What else could Zhang Yixin say? Was he going to stay here and get embarrassed?
"I'm going to go now, you guys chat."
Zhang Yixin left with a smile, sighing inwardly. He'd finally found a woman he liked, but in the end, he couldn't afford to offend her. He was grateful to his agent for reminding him. After all, she was a veteran in the entertainment industry. Even if Mr. Jiang had other motives in mind, he was truly caring for him by giving her to him.
In the afternoon, Shi Feiye continued to work, and Zou Lianxun moved a chair to sit beside her and watch her work. He was impatient to respond to anyone who came to talk to him.
Wu Kui was busy filming at noon and only knew that Zou Lianxun came to deliver milk tea and that he was related to Shi Feiye, but he had no time to find out what the relationship between the two was. Now that he finally had some free time, he went to ask the female lead, Wu Chunqian.
Although Wu Chunqian was studying the script, she also had her mind on Zou Lianxun. She naturally found out that Zou Lianxun called Shi Feiye "Second Sister-in-law". Since Wu Kui was usually nice to her, she shared all the information she knew with Wu Kui:
"It's said that Shi Feiye is Mr. Zou's second sister-in-law. Mr. Zou doesn't have a close relationship with his cousins and doesn't have a biological brother. This second brother must be Qin Bulu, who went bankrupt but launched a holographic online game yesterday and is now on the rise again. Everyone calls him Mr. Qin. He was once the helmsman of the Qin family. He was all over the financial news a few years ago and was called the national husband."
Wu Chunqian still had a conscience and knew who Wu Kui was, so she kindly suggested:
"This Miss Shi is pretty, but she's not someone you can mess with. If you have any ulterior motives, you'd better put them aside as soon as possible. I don't think she's had any intention of bothering you these past two days. You should be thankful that she ignored you, otherwise you wouldn't be able to talk to me properly right now."
Seeing that Wu Kui was not convinced, Wu Chunqian simply explained it to him:
"Young Master Zou is the youngest of his brothers, and every older brother above him is more formidable. If Young Master Zou is already so formidable, imagine how much more formidable his second brother is. He was the one who recruited a group of veterans from the Qin family at the age of twenty, and in the following years, he expanded the Qin family many times over. It's speculated that his previous bankruptcy was intentional, just to get rid of the Qin family's vampires."
Wu Kuiting was surprised: "You seem to know a lot about these things."
Wu Chunqian sighed, "Others may not know, but don't you? We're called celebrities, but we're nothing more than pretty vases displayed in public. Reputation is hard to build but easy to destroy, unlike those who have their own strengths. Anyway, even my boss can't afford to offend someone like Young Master Qin. I'm just reminding you out of kindness, but if you don't listen, forget it."
"I just thought you looked cheerful and spoiled, but I never thought you had so many thoughts hidden inside. You think so thoroughly."
"If you don't think things through, how can you become the heroine?" Wu Chunqian rolled her eyes. Does this person really not know or is he pretending not to know? She doesn't come from a special family. It's not easy for her to climb to her current position. How can she not live a more clear life?
"Just think about it, if a woman looks like Miss Shi, is it possible for an ordinary man to marry her?"
"Alright, I know you mean well. Since she's Mr. Zou's second sister-in-law, I won't mess with her again even if I go crazy. I haven't played enough drama yet. Although beauties of her level are rare, compared to future prospects and money, the latter is more important."
Wu Kui said this, but in his heart he couldn't help but feel regretful. However, he still knew what was important. At worst, he could just go back and get some other beauties to play with.
"As long as you understand, I'm glad you understand. Now that I've said this, don't mention it again. Miss Shi is talented, beautiful, and kind. We're very happy working together. That's all."
Wu Chunqian also sighed inwardly. People have different fates. Even if she wanted to, she knew that she could not marry into a wealthy family. Even if she could marry into one, she could only marry an older man. But such a man would never give her true love. He already has his own children, so how could he be nice to his young wife?
So it's hard not to envy people like Shi Feiye. Regardless of whether life is good or not at home, at least that Young Master Qin is willing to let Young Master Zou come over to support him. This attitude is enough for Shi Feiye to live a smooth and stable life.
What do women seek in their whole lives? Isn't it just comfort?
"Don't worry, I know Miss Shi will have a pleasant cooperation with me." Wu Kui agreed and went to read his script.
At dinner time that evening, Director Wang jokingly asked Zou Lianxun to take Shi Feiye to dinner. Shi Feiye was embarrassed because there was still a lot of work to do and they had to shoot that evening. If she left, Haidong would be too busy, which was really not appropriate.
Before she could speak, Zou Lianxun waved his hand:
"No need. I'm taking my second sister-in-law out to eat, and it's too troublesome to go back and forth. Why don't I buy it for her and bring it back? You guys go ahead and do your own thing. I'll go and be back soon."
Shi Feiye wanted to grab Zou Lianxun and tell him not to bother, but he ran away so fast that he was out before she could even turn her head.
More than half an hour later, Zou Lianxun returned with a rider who had packed several meals. In total, there were portions for Shi Feiye, Director Wang, Hai Dong, the assistant director, and other key management personnel.
He bought all the finest things, and even paid for them to be specially made for him by the restaurant. Director Wang liked people like him, who had connections but didn't act arrogantly. Although everyone knew what was going on, he still showed respect by making it known.
Wang Dao cheerfully accepted the food handed over by Zou Lianxun, and did not forget to joke with Zou Lianxun and test him:
"Xiao Zou is very nice to your second sister-in-law. Why doesn't your second brother come here in person? Is he too busy with the online games?"
"That's right! My second brother is almost crazy busy. There's nothing he can do. You can see how popular holographic online games are. Orders for just one game cabin are already queued up for a week. And that's even though many people haven't tried it yet and are hesitant to place an order. If they do, the orders will increase several times over."
Zou Lianxun had no intention of hiding anything; everyone would know about these things sooner or later anyway.
"Young Master Qin is a formidable figure. It hasn't been that long, but he's already risen to prominence again. Tsk tsk, the difference between one person and another is just so huge. If only my kid had even a third of Young Master Qin's abilities, I wouldn't have to worry."
"Hey, Director Wang, if you say that, you're really insulting your Wang Qixu. His musical talent isn't something everyone can achieve. Everyone has their own aspirations, so there's no need to compare like that."
Zou Lianxun didn't even give Wang Dao a chance to speak. He was just saying this to get money. Haha, his second brother would have a lot of money in the future, but it wasn't going to be used for charity, not to mention that this place didn't lack investment.
"Look, I told Lao Liu before that you can talk, but he didn't believe me." Director Wang turned his head to look at the producer.
Producer Lao Liu brought the food that Zou Lianxun gave him and laughed, "Now I believe it. Young Master Zou is not only good at handling things, but he can also talk. Haha."
Everyone was laughing and the topic shifted. It was just a dinner, so no matter what others thought, the main characters all enjoyed their meal and had a particularly good impression of Zou Lianxun and Shi Feiye.
Going back to rest at night, Zou Lianxun booked the same hotel as Shi Feiye, on the same floor. After entering the room, he first called Qin Buzhu. After a busy day, he still had to report his work results to Qin Buzhu.
