Chapter 412 The weather is getting cold, let Xia Yanyue cool down too
"You're just going to let Xu Nian go like this?" Bai Qiujing asked after coming out of the utility room.
"That's it. She'll pay the price she deserves."
The fact that she no longer pursued the matter did not mean that she forgave Xu Nian. She knew in advance what was going to happen next, and what awaited Xu Nian was far from simple.
Xia Yanyue never does business at a loss. From the beginning to the end, she just wanted to take revenge on Chen Zhichu, making the person she trusted betray her and then destroy her important things, a double blow of revenge.
Nian Nian is very important to Shen Zhichu, but to others she is just a cat.
For Xia Yanyue, exchanging a cat for one million is not worth it at all. What's more, this incident not only failed to hit Shen Zhichu, but also got herself involved.
So, how could she possibly give that one million to Xu Nian.
One wrong step leads to another, and Xu Nian will eventually suffer the consequences.
It is right for people to be kind, but if it is too much, it is not kindness, but a saint. Shen Zhichu does not want to be a saint. After Xu Nian betrayed her and indirectly killed Nian Nian, she forgave her with just an apology.
How could anything be so easy in the world?
She is not generous. She likes the saying that things change over time. She wants these people to experience all the suffering she has endured, the pain she has tasted, the tears she has shed, the pain she has endured, and the late-night collapses she has experienced.
She would not let go of Xia Yanyue, Li Jingshen, or Lu Tingchuan who had tortured her before.
Xu Nian’s ending is also their ending.
However...when it comes to torturing people, she will never be able to defeat Li Jingshen and Lu Tingchuan.
Lu Tingchuan's torture was physical, comparable to the ten most severe tortures, while Li Jingshen's was a double blow to his mind and body.
Li Jingshen is best at identifying what people fear the most, for example, he knows clearly that Xia Yanyue is most afraid of dogs.
In addition, he likes to destroy all the shining points in a person, such as the family background, self-esteem, and pride that one is proud of. He will destroy whatever you have.
[A. W] easily acquired X Entertainment, which attracted great attention from the business community. Many people wanted to secretly investigate who was the boss behind the scenes, but they found nothing.
The less they could uncover, the more it proved that [A. W] was no ordinary person. Some people were secretly on guard against him, some were trying to find out and make friends with him, and some were just watching and doing nothing.
Shen Zhichu handed over the affairs of the group to other people because Xu Nian's betrayal made her no longer trust people, but she couldn't just watch over such a big group and do nothing like she did before.
So the task of selecting people was handed over to Bai Qiujing.
Shen Zhichu looked up at the sky: "The weather is about to change."
Bai Qiujing looked up and saw the clear sky without a single cloud. He wondered if the weather on such a sunny day was going to change.
"The weather forecast doesn't show any change."
Chen Zhichu smiled. Once Chengdu entered autumn, it would soon enter winter. The weather was getting colder, so Xia Yan should enjoy the coolness too.
……….
Shen Zhichu opened her phone and found many missed calls and text messages, most of which were asking about her situation and the content was generally concerned.
Shen Zhichu picked a few and finally called Wang Xiangrong.
Wang Xiangrong's Bai Qiujing had asked for leave in advance, which delayed the progress of the crew's work. Shen Zhichu was very sorry, and Wang Xiangrong understood her.
There are many people in the crew and they are all talkative. It is true that some of them care about their colleagues, but most of them are in a competitive relationship. At most, they care about them in words, but in fact they make cold remarks and mock them behind their backs.
In just two days, things changed a lot, from the death of Shen Zhichu's cat to Zheng Xiuxiu's cat abuse, and finally even Xia Yanyue was involved.
Xia Yanyue and Shen Zhichu belong to the same company. Previously, Xia Yanyue said at the dinner table that she had a good relationship with Shen Zhichu, but she didn't expect that he would bite her behind her back in the blink of an eye.
Now no one dares to make close friends with Xia Yanyue, otherwise they won’t know how they fell into the trap. It must be said that the acting skills of this award-winning actress are really good.
In addition to the "cat abuse incident", another thing that people talked about was the bankruptcy and change of boss of X Entertainment Company.
I don’t know what the future will be like for Xia Yanyue and Shen Zhichu. The company is undergoing a major reshuffle. Either they will rise to prominence or they will go bankrupt. This is a good thing for their competitors.
Xia Yanyue is unknown, but Chen Zhichu should not be bad either. After all, Lu Tingchuan and Li Jingshen had a fight over Chen Zhichu not long ago. If either of these two financial backers wanted to support Chen Zhichu, Chen Zhichu would not lack resources.
After this analysis, it was found that Xia Yanyue and Shen Zhichu's positions were reversed in such a short period of time.
Wang Xiangrong was not surprised to receive a call from Shen Zhichu, and he comforted her with a few words: "Don't be too sad. Zheng Xiuxiu is disfigured and blinded. I heard that she is mentally ill and injured a nurse. Now she is being sent to a mental hospital."
Others might think that Shen Zhichu just lost a pet, and that pets can't accompany you for a lifetime and you have to buy a new one when they die, but Wang Xiangrong doesn't think so.
He has a dog at home, and when he learned that Shen Zhichu's cat was killed, he showed strong empathy.
For people, pets may just be a part of life, but for pets, their owners are their entire lives.
Shen Zhichu's feelings for Nian Nian are not that simple. If he just treated her as an ordinary pet, would he keep her by his side all the time and have someone look after her all the time?
Everyone loves beauty, including animals, but Nian Nian is not as good-looking as other cats. Its fur is bald in many places, its body is defective, and it looks ugly, but Shen Zhichu has never thrown it away. From this point of view, we can see that the cat means something different to Shen Zhichu, because it is precisely this "difference" that has caused revenge from people with ulterior motives.
"I'll give you a month off so you can stay home and adjust your mood. Don't worry about the crew. I'll arrange the other actors' scenes first..."
"Thank you, Director Wang." Shen Zhichu continued, "In less than a month, I'll be back on set the day after tomorrow."
Shen Zhichu has filmed forty-five scenes in the crew. She doesn't have many scenes left, as there are still several outdoor battle scenes and scenes with Xia Yanyue.
Fortunately, the rival scenes with Xia Yanyue have not been filmed yet, otherwise it would have been a waste.
"Director Wang, please change the female lead."
Director Wang was startled, surprised by Shen Zhichu's tone, which didn't sound like he was discussing something with him.
There was a sense of "either she or me, or me or her." But the Shen Zhichu he knew was not someone who would ignore the overall situation.
A quarter of Xia Yanyue's scenes have been filmed, and now that she's been replaced, all the scenes filmed before have been wasted. First of all, the supporting actors who have acted with her have to reshoot, and the male lead also has to reshoot, and these will be charged separately. Not to mention the waste of money, it's mainly time and energy, and I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up with the crew's progress.
The other thing is the contract with Xia Yanyue. Wang Xiangrong had thought about replacing Xia Yanyue before, saying that she was not doing her job well in the film and even had to use a stand-in to wash her feet. However, the penalty for breach of contract was too high, and Xia Yanyue had a large fan base, so it was difficult to force a replacement.
"Zhi Chu, I know you hate Xia Yanyue, but the crew signed a contract with her."
"Don't worry about the contract. I'll cover any losses."
Why doesn't he have to worry about the contract? Does Shen Zhichu know how high the penalty for breach of contract is? Even if she shoots for a year, she can't make up for it, not to mention the losses of the crew.
"Director Wang, if you don't replace Xia Yanyue now, when the filming is finished, the entire drama may not be able to be released because of her. This is the real loss. Don't doubt what I say. Her character has already collapsed, and it will collapse even more in the future. Think carefully about it. Are you sure you still want to use such a two-faced person?"
Wang Xiangrong was not stupid and reacted quickly. He instantly heard a hint of murderous intent in Shen Zhichu's words.
"Zhi Chu, what are you going to do? Do you have any leverage over Xia Mingyue?"
"Director Wang, do you believe me? Replacing Xia Yanyue now will only waste a small amount of time and energy. Changing to someone who is the leading actress will be better than Xia Yanyue. I believe you should have other options."
Don't mention it, he actually had a candidate, but when the role was decided, there was a conflict in schedule, so it was changed to Xia Yanyue. Now that person's filming has been completed, he has plenty of time to take on "Nagato Hate".
Shen Zhichu gave him time to think and did not hang up the phone. Five minutes later, he heard deep breathing sounds coming from the phone.
"What should I do?"
Shen Zhichu raised the corners of his lips and told Wang Xiangrong about his next plan.
The conversation lasted for a full forty minutes. Wang Xiangrong was very cautious and asked about every little detail. He only agreed after he was sure that nothing would go wrong.
Shen Zhichu put down his phone, and Bai Qiujing made a cup of lemon passion fruit honey water and handed it to the table with a straw stuck in the cup.
"You must be thirsty after talking for so long, right?"
Shen Zhichu pinched the straw and took a sip. There was a lot of honey in it, so it was sour and sweet, and not greasy at all.
Lemon has the effect of whitening the skin, and honey can moisten the throat and motivate the stomach.
"Aren't you curious about how I know so much?" Shen Zhichu put down the water cup. Others had noticed that she was different from the previous "Shen Zhichu". There was a big difference. Li Jingshen recognized her at a glance.
She didn't believe that Bai Qiujing, a smart man, had never had doubts.
Bai Qiujing answered seriously, "Of course I'm curious. If you don't ask, I won't ask any more questions. If you want to talk, I'm always available to listen. Anyway, I'll always be here and trust you unconditionally."
Everyone is curious. Although Bai Qiujing has never investigated, his agent often whispers in his ear that Shen Zhichu is like a different person. He used to dress so scary, but now he looks so good. He also said that his personality used to be unpleasant and cowardly, and he was bullied in the company, but now he is able to fight back.
However, what made Bai Qiujing curious was not these, but the fact that Shen Zhichu had never had any contact with Li Jingshen in the past. Then how did Li Jingshen know Shen Zhichu, and how did he seem to know her so well?
The three of them met for the first time here. Li Jingshen mentioned Nian Nian, and then Shen Zhichu went out with him. A few days later, he brought back a cat named Nian Nian.
It would be fine if Li Jingshen knew him, but it turns out Lu Tingchuan also knew him, so their relationship was not simple.
When Bai Qiujing went to the crew to pick up Shen Zhichu that day, he clearly felt the malicious gazes of those two people.
Before he knew it, he had two more rivals in love, and those two people had obviously known Shen Zhichu longer than he had.
In terms of family background, they are not inferior to each other. They are not short of money, but they lack time and patience, as well as the attitude towards the person they like. Bai Qiujing believes that his love for Shen Zhichu is no less than that of the other two.
What's more...looking at Shen Zhichu's attitude towards Li Jingshen and Lu Tingchuan, he looked disgusted.
It’s different with him. I will go home with him, text him and chat with him. Even when I encounter danger, he is the first person I look for.
He saw a detail on the Internet about a girl who likes someone, which is that she will look at him absentmindedly and smile.
If a girl becomes dazed and wants to laugh when she sees you, that’s not love, then what is love?
And he recently discovered one.
The name Shen Zhichu gave to the group is [A. W]
A: It can be interpreted as Affinity, close relationship, in-law relationship (between men and women), attraction, and attractive opposite sex.
W undoubtedly stands for white, so his surname is Bai.
There was no need for him to explain the two words together in detail, the literal meaning was that Shen Zhichu wanted to marry him.
Bai Qiujing felt that the relationship between him and Shen Zhichu was not far from the jokes written by CP fans.
………
Shen Zhichu never thought that Bai Qiujing would think so much in such a short time.
She was still thinking about what Bai Qiujing said.
He said that he would always be by her side and trust her unconditionally.
For her, what her world lacks most is companionship, love and trust.
"Last time you said you could beat Li Jingshen and Lu Tingchuan alone?"
"Want me to prove it to you?" Shen Zhichu wouldn't suddenly mention those two people. If she mentioned them now, it must be because they had provoked her or remembered something that had hurt her.
Bai Qiujing once secretly swore that he would help Shen Zhichu solve anything she hated or feared.
