Chapter 18 Lovesickness
A few days later.
Wen Ci received a call from Lu Bingchen and hurried to the "Mind Harbor" clinic to meet Yu Zheng.
Lu Bingchen introduced, "Mr. Yu, this is my niece, Wen Ci, whom I mentioned to you. She studied directing and editing abroad for five years and has just returned to China. She's been looking for an opportunity to meet you."
Wen Ci said respectfully, "Hello, Director Yu. I'm Wen Ci. I've admired you since I was little. I've seen almost all of the films you've directed. My dream since I was little has been to follow in your footsteps and become a director who can bring Chinese films to the international stage."
Yu Zheng looked at the beautiful yet extremely humble and simple girl in front of him and felt very fond of her.
At the same time, she was recommended by his psychiatrist. The man nodded seriously, "Yeah, she looks good."
Lu Bingchen: "Then you two can chat for a while. I'm going out to sort out the case data. My assistant got married this week and has been given a holiday, so I'm a little short of manpower and can't handle it."
Lu Bingchen closed the door considerately when he left.
"Director Yu,"
Wen Ci smiled faintly, looking at the square-faced and serious Yu Zheng in front of her, and handed him the script with both hands. "This is a script I've been polishing for five years, and I'm currently planning to shoot it. Uncle Lu asked if he could introduce you to me. It would be a great honor for me to get some guidance from you."
"A Girl's Heart?"
Yu Zheng took the script and when he saw the title for the first time, his brows furrowed and he looked up at Wen Ci.
Wen Ci's emotions remained unchanged.
The man lowered his eyes again and continued to read the introduction and outline at the back.
The more he looked, the gloomier his expression became.
Even his breathing became rapid, as if he was suppressing great anger.
Wen Ci gauged his emotions and said gently, "Director Yu, I started writing this script four years ago in Washington. I've revised it countless times, but the core idea I want to convey to the audience has remained unchanged."
"For young and ignorant girls, love is something they yearn for, but not every love relationship brings sweetness and happiness. However, every relationship should be a test of a girl's life, making her stronger and allowing her to overcome adversity."
Yu Zheng looked at her coldly, "So you think I plagiarized your script?!"
Wen Ci shook her head. "No, I've never had such an idea. A director like you, who is already a leading figure in the industry, would disdain such things. That's why I came to you to explain things clearly, so that you won't be deceived by certain people and lose your reputation."
Yu Zheng stared at Wen Ci, his lips pressed into a line.
Suddenly, he roared in anger, "Song Weiran actually dared to lie to me!"
Yu Zhengteng stood up suddenly. "I've lived an upright life, and my reputation was almost ruined by her! I'm going to hold a press conference right now to clarify everything, and I'm also going to remove Song Weiran from the film industry!"
Yu Zheng walked to the door, opened it, and was about to walk out angrily when he suddenly turned around and glanced at Wen Ci again. "Wen Ci, from the moment I saw you today, I felt that you were the tailor-made heroine of "A Girl's Heart", but I am even happier now because you are the soul of "A Girl's Heart".
"Your future is limitless."
Wen Ci smiled and bowed deeply to Yu Zheng. "Thank you for your guidance, Teacher Yu. Wen Ci will follow in your footsteps and continue to work hard."
-
Lu Bingchen opened his office door and sorted through the piled-up medical records.
When I looked up, I saw Yu Zhengfeng leaving in a hurry and angrily. After a while, Wen Ci appeared at the door of the clinic.
Lu Bingchen raised his eyebrows, "Did you make Mr. Yu angry?"
Wen Ci walked in calmly, "No, Teacher Yu even praised me, saying that I have a bright future. It's someone who's going to be in big trouble~"
"I've done you such a big favor, is it too much to ask you to help me organize these medical records?"
Lu Bingchen spread his hands.
Although he was a thoughtful psychologist, he was terrible at organizing things. After his assistant took leave to go home and get married, he would spend ten minutes looking for a medical record.
Wen Ci looked at his messy desk and bookshelf and couldn't help but smile.
Thinking back to the past, every time she came for treatment, Xie Yiyi would help him tidy up the table, and then after the treatment, Lu Bingchen would treat them to shaved ice next to the clinic.
"Are you thinking about your memory?"
Lu Bingchen was stunned and reacted a bit too much, "Who misses her? That girl is so annoying!"
Wen Ci smiled and lowered her head to organize the items into categories according to time and name.
Suddenly, she picked up a medical record and saw a familiar name in the name column, "Xie Peizhou".
Wen Ci read it out loud.
Lu Bingchen said: "Yes, it's the Xie Peizhou you were thinking of."
Wen Ci's breathing tightened as she clutched the thick medical records in her hands, her tone filled with worry. "Does my uncle have any psychological problems?"
Lu Bingchen stopped, feeling like he was doing more harm than good.
The man's thin lips curled up. "He has a serious problem. He can't sleep all night long and has to rely on medication to fall asleep briefly. This has been going on for several years."
Wen Ci's face turned pale.
She always felt that Xie Peizhou was an omnipotent person. She had never seen him sick in all these years, not even a cold. He could handle everything rationally and properly, as if nothing could stump him or embarrass him.
He actually has such severe insomnia?
Wen Ci looked at Lu Bingchen nervously, "What disease did he have? Is he cured now?"
Lu Bingchen smiled thinly, pinched his chin with his slender hand, and uttered three words, "Love, longing, and illness."
"Is he recovered? Haha, he is now..." terminally ill.
Before he could finish, two crisp knocking sounds of knuckles came from the open door of the clinic.
When they heard the sound, they looked and saw Xie Peizhou standing at the door.
Wen Ci paused for breath as she looked at his tall and slender figure. He was wearing a simple white shirt and black pants, and seemed to have lost some weight.
His stern face was covered with fatigue, and there was a dark circle under his eyes, but he still exuded the charm of a mature man, making her unable to take her eyes away.
