Zhou Shuo didn't pay attention to the shallow conversation between the two people. She was concentrating on a shrimp in front of her.
Mu Ci reached out and grabbed the shrimp. His slender fingers nimbly peeled the shrimp and placed it on the plate in front of her. Zhou Shuo happily picked it up and put it in his mouth.
Mu Ci picked up another shrimp, peeled it and put it over, his movements as smooth as flowing water.
"Chen Hai said that the filming of this drama will be completed in three months. Is there any problem with funding?" He asked Luo Bing naturally while peeling shrimps.
Luo Bing stared at his movements, somewhat satisfied. "Not yet. I'll need some money for PR when the release comes. However, several platforms have already contacted me to discuss cooperation."
Mu Ci wiped his hands with a wet wipe and said, "You guys are in charge of the platform. There's been a lot of hot money pouring in recently. Be careful of being targeted by them. Using film and television companies to launder money is their usual trick. Don't be fooled."
Luo Bing raised an eyebrow and looked at Mu Ci with a more serious look, "Someone has been contacting me recently."
Mu Ci raised his eyes and met his. "Have you reached an agreement?"
Luo Bing shook his head. "After filming this drama, I wanted to take some time off to see my fellow apprentices, so I didn't agree. From what you said, I might have been targeted."
Mu Ci straightened his back and said, "I'll send someone to help you deal with this matter."
"Okay." Luo Bing agreed without hesitation.
He thought for a moment and then said, "If you eat the money, don't forget to share some with me. After all, I attracted it."
Mu Ci smiled and replied, "Okay."
The temperature between the two people warmed up unconsciously.
Zhou Shuo grasped the key words, "Second Brother, are you going to look for the eldest and third brothers?"
Luo Bing took a sip of water and nodded, "Yeah! I was thinking of getting them together and then going back to see you, but who knew you would actually run out on your own, and—"
He glanced at Mu Ci and took another sip of water. "Just wait."
These words were a blatant threat to Mu Ci, but a pleasant surprise to Zhou Shuo.
"So when are you going? Can you take me with you? Otherwise, why don't you wait until my summer vacation?"
Luo Bing picked up a piece of fish and placed it on Zhou Shuo's plate. "Enjoy your meal."
Zhou Shuo looked at the piece of fish and pouted, "You two are just feeding pigs! Who can eat it?"
Mu Ci and Luo Bing looked at each other and laughed.
"Do you really think you are a pig? Why don't you eat when you are full? You are so stupid, who would want you?" Luo Bing complained.
"I want it." Mu Ci said quietly.
Luo Bing glared at him. Will he die if he doesn’t show his affection?
Zhou Shuo took advantage of the situation and immediately gave Luo Bing a smug look in response.
The heartwarming interaction between the three people was transmitted to Mu En in real time.
Mu En's apology was eventually forgotten as Mu Chen and Mu Ci, grandfather and grandson, were focused on dealing with Luo Bing, and was considered forgiven.
Duan Si was shocked by Luo Bing's background and immediately asked someone to investigate. She didn't care about Mu En for a while. Anyway, the old man and Mu Ci didn't kick him out of the house, so she was relieved.
Mu En finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Nestled in his office, Mu En leaned back in his chair in a daze. Lin Xu couldn't tell his emotions for a moment and hesitated, not knowing what topic to start with.
"Lin Xu, who is Luo Bing?" Mu En suddenly asked, frowning.
He got caught in the rain last night and had a real fever. He still has a headache now.
Lin Xu was startled and searched in his mind, "Luo Bing? Which one? Director Luo Bing?"
Mu En nodded, "That's him."
Lin Xu thought for a moment. "Who's behind him? Not much, right? He's Chen Hai's classmate. Chen Hai and the young master are childhood friends, but Luo Bing and the young master probably haven't met. The young master doesn't like the film and television company business. He always cooperates with Chen Hai on investments."
"Chen Hai is the most useless person in the Chen family. He doesn't work hard and is not well-liked by the old man of the Chen family. He has been spared from criticism over the years because of his close relationship with our eldest young master. Therefore, all the investments made by the eldest young master are to give Chen Hai face. Chen Hai is keen on cutting hair and styling. Although he is very famous in the industry, he has brought shame to the Chen family."
When it comes to the people around Mu Ci, Lin Xu knows them all like the back of his hand.
As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy. He cannot take lightly any mosquito flying past the eldest young master, lest the second young master ask him whether he is male or female!
Mu En frowned and shook his head, obviously dissatisfied with the news.
Chen Hai knew that the two families were old friends and knew each other well, but he had never paid attention to Luo Bing. Looking back, it was as if Luo Bing was a person who suddenly appeared.
"That Luo Bing--" He frowned and thought.
He couldn't find anyone else except Mu Ci who said he would use 40 million to buy Zhou Shuo back.
Who can have such confidence?
The number of these wealthy families in M City was clear in his mind, and there was no one he didn't know. This Luo Bing——
Or, he is lying!
Haha, but he is quite brave to brag about himself in front of Mu Ci.
I guess it’s not just him who hasn’t seen it, Mu Ci has never seen it either?
Thinking of Mu Ci, Mu En felt even more upset. How did he stand up?
Logically speaking, he should be terminally ill now, and he was poisoned twice in a row, both of which could have activated the poison in his body. How come he stood up instead?
It was pure nonsense to say that it was due to the good fortune of marriage, but if it was due to Zhou Shuo's achievement, Mu En would never believe it.
If the legendary Bai Lian came to their house, then Mu Ci might still have a glimmer of hope. After all, Bai Lian was well-known and had saved countless people, all of whom were dying from difficult and complicated diseases.
But Zhou Shuo, why?
Love?
Mu En himself laughed.
There is never a shortage of jokes in this world.
I thought Zhou Shuo was just a wild girl picked up from the countryside by a small family and a small business family. Her grandfather protected her only for the sake of her eldest brother's dilapidated body. He didn't even need to touch her himself, and naturally there were people who couldn't stand it and would deal with her for him.
But unexpectedly, before he could make a move on Zhou Shuo, Luo Bing appeared.
It is impossible to say that a person who takes 40 million as nothing has no background. But it is unacceptable to say that he has a background when even Lin Xu doesn't know about it.
The phone vibrated. It was Zhou Le.
Mu En looked at the name displayed on the screen, paused for a moment, and then picked up the phone.
"Brother Mu En." Zhou Lejiao's soft voice was like a feather, gently scratching his heart.
"Good sister, where are you?" There was a kind smile in Mu En's voice.
"I--" Zhou Le was obviously "electrified" by this friendly smile.
"Brother Mu En, I just saw my sister, brother-in-law and Director Luo together. The relationship between the three of them seems to be quite close." Zhou Le hurriedly reported to Mu En.
"Oh? The three of them are together?" Mu En raised his eyebrows.
