Shang Yechu disagreed with Ji Juntao's overly progressive views on men and women: "Stop, stop, what exactly are you trying to say?"

Ji Juntao sighed: "I mean, Shi Shan's behavior is a hundred times, a thousand times, more despicable than that of the couple on set!"

"..." Shang Yechu was getting a little impatient with Ji Juntao's rambling. "What exactly are you trying to say, Lao Ji? Is our company really that flush with cash?"

Ji Juntao exhaled and said:

"Shi Shan is an experiential actor, and he emphasizes 'getting into character' the most. That's fine. The problem is that he not only emphasizes getting into character himself, but he also wants to get others into character with him!"

Ji Juntao's words stirred up a storm in Shang Yechu's mind, and her heart skipped a beat.

This means...

"When Shi Shan was filming, if his character had a friendship with a man, he would be extremely loyal and generous to his male co-stars off-screen, almost to the point of going to great lengths for them. Therefore, the male actors who became his friends in every film would truly become his good brothers after filming was over. They had a very good relationship with Shi Shan. This is part of the reason why Shi Shan is well-liked in the industry."

“But—” Ji Juntao changed the subject, “if his character has a romantic relationship with a woman, then the actress he’s acting opposite will be in big trouble.”

Shang Yechu touched the back of her neck and felt the hairs on her neck stand up.

"Shi Shan would treat the actress with extreme tenderness and care before and during filming, as if she were the only one he could ever have. It was as if he loved her to death."

"Actresses often can't resist this kind of advances and actually fall in love. They start dating Shishan. But as everyone knows, a man can have many brothers at the same time, but he can't have many girlfriends at the same time..."

Ji Juntao shrugged: "So, after the promotional period for the drama ends, Shi Shan will 'get out of character' at lightning speed, cut ties with the actress cleanly and decisively, and then find the next 'true love'."

Shang Yechu couldn't quite describe the feeling in her heart. She felt both disgusted and astonished, as if she had seen some strange and unusual slime.

“His behavior…” Shang Yechu saw her own expression reflected in the car window, contorted as if she had just eaten a spoonful of salt. “This kind of behavior will probably get him exposed soon and he’ll become infamous, right? How is it that he can fool seven or eight women in a row?”

Shang Yechu was truly baffled. The entertainment industry is so small; surely some rumors would leak out! How come Shi Shan is still completely unscathed?

“That’s why I called him despicable—” Ji Juntao turned Shang Yechu’s face toward him, “You better not let your guard down, keep an eye on me.”

Was Ji Juntao afraid that he would be deceived? Shang Yechu subconsciously found it ridiculous: "Let alone the fact that nothing has been decided yet, you've already told me, how could I fall for it?"

Ji Juntao solemnly asked, "Do you know what Shi Shan did to those women?"

“An Ran loves to eat pears from a small mountain village in the south, so he personally flew there to buy them and delivered them to An Ran.”

"Huang Zhiwei had trouble sleeping, so he traveled all over the country to find more than a dozen traditional Chinese medicine doctors."

“Wang Miyun’s former boss exploited her, so he used his own money and connections to invite his college classmate—who owns a law firm with dozens of top lawyers—to help Wang Miyun.

"He even treated Lin Yin's son as his own! Lin Yin's son was withdrawn and rarely interacted with the outside world. Shi Shan spent a month with Lin Yin's son, and the two got along like a real father and son. Even now, the child still calls Shi Shan 'godfather' whenever he sees him!"

With each sentence Ji Juntao spoke, Shang Yechu's eyes widened a little more. By the time she heard the last sentence, her eyeballs seemed to pop out of their sockets.

"Oh God..." Shang Yechu murmured.
