The other celebrities who were eavesdropping on Xia Chuyue's thoughts couldn't help but laugh out loud, their eyes secretly glancing at Director Xia with amusement.
They could guess that Director Xia was probably thanking Xia Chuyue for revealing his wife's infidelity and the production supervisor's embezzlement of funds, which was why he treated her so specially.
What man would enjoy being cuckolded?
What's more, his son's ending was so tragic.
Knowing about these things in advance, Director Xia decisively divorced his wife, thus avoiding a tragic fate for himself and his son.
This kindness is so great that it can be described as a life-saving grace!
Moreover, Xia Chuyue also exposed the black sheep of the production team, the producer!
Ji Wanfeng and Director Xia have investigated overnight and found out that Producer Wu had secretly misappropriated the production team's funds by taking advantage of his position.
Fortunately, the producer had only just begun secretly working on this, and the amount of money misappropriated was not significant.
Otherwise, if we wait until later stages, the entire budget for special effects will be wasted!
Their drama is an ancient costume fantasy drama, and most of the investment will be used for special effects.
If the special effects are poorly made, when the show airs, it might really be ridiculed by netizens to the point of being unable to lift its head, just as Xia Chuyue said.
All of this makes Xia Chuyue the greatest benefactor to Director Xia and the crew!
Director Xia is a grateful person and would never be cold to his benefactor, so his attitude completely reversed.
It's no wonder Xia Chuyue felt that Director Xia had taken a liking to her.
Who would be so kind to someone for no reason?
Unless this person has ulterior motives!
Ji Wanfeng came out after changing his clothes. Hearing Xia Chuyue's thoughts, he covered his lips and laughed, looking at Director Xia with a teasing expression.
Director Xia, unable to reveal his true feelings, scratched his head in frustration.
Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck him, and he came up with a good excuse.
"Xia Chuyue, your surname is Xia?"
Xia Chuyue looked up and thought Director Xia looked like an idiot.
What else could her surname be if not Xia?
Nodding, Xia Chuyue smiled awkwardly and said yes.
Director Xia, completely unaware of how foolish his actions were, smiled and happily said to her:
"I knew it! You look so familiar these past few days! My aunt's cousin mentioned you before, so we must be distant relatives!"
This scene of recognizing relatives based on surnames stunned all the celebrities present.
Even Xia Chuyue herself was stunned and stood there for a long time before she could react.
“Is that so?”
Director Xia needed to find a reason for his special attitude towards Xia Chuyue, so he nodded vigorously.
"Absolutely! I remember my aunt telling me to take care of you on set! I never imagined we'd have this kind of family connection."
Director Xia pretended to be incredibly impressed, trying his best to fool Xia Chuyue.
Xia Chuyue's eyes still held a hint of doubt, and her face looked quite bewildered.
After thinking for a while, Xia Chuyue saw how determined the director was and couldn't help but believe him a little, so she nodded slightly.
"That's probably true."
Did my mother speak with people from the Xia family? Director Xia does indeed share the same surname, so perhaps she's a distant relative, but I just didn't know?
Thinking of her mother's loving and compassionate gaze, Xia Chuyue felt that it was highly likely that her mother was afraid that she would have a difficult time in the entertainment industry, so she had privately contacted acquaintances to make arrangements.
After figuring it out, Xia Chuyue clutched her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
[That scared me to death! I almost thought Director Xia, like the third male lead, was into those unspoken rules.]
Seeing that Xia Chuyue believed him, Director Xia breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and thanked his own surname for the first time.
That almost made things unmanageable!
However, his smile quickly faded.
[This third male lead does have some potential; the company is heavily promoting him, hoping he'll use this drama to become a new top-tier star.]
Unfortunately, the third male lead became arrogant as soon as he gained some fame. After joining the crew, he didn't act properly and instead used the resources of the company and the production team to sexually harass female stars.
[That's understandable; there are too many people in the entertainment industry who engage in these unspoken rules, so it's not surprising that he's among them.]
However, one of the girls was naive enough to believe that his claim of helping her get a role in the production was true, and happily came to see him.
[Unexpectedly, the third male lead had been drinking and, under the influence of alcohol, raped the girl upon seeing her!]
[The girl realized she had been deceived and struggled desperately but couldn't escape. After the third man sobered up, she cried and shouted that she would go to the police station and let the law punish him!]
The third male lead panicked. He hadn't expected the girl to be so stubborn. He tried to coax and threaten her, but when he realized she wasn't falling for it, he decided to kill her.
Holy crap, this guy's got a history of legal trouble!
Now, not only the director, but even the other celebrities with a conscience present changed their expressions.
The entertainment industry is indeed more chaotic and flamboyant than other circles, but it's not to the point where people kill each other over the slightest disagreement!
Especially female celebrities who were harassed by the third male lead on set were filled with rage, their eyes reddening, wishing they could take a knife and chop that thing up!
If forcing someone doesn't work, and it even leads to death, then just send him to jail!
As Xia Chuyue looked at the gossip, her expression turned serious, and her brows furrowed.
Let me see when this happened.
Everyone present instinctively held their breath, afraid of disturbing Xia Chuyue's gossip.
[Sure enough, it's today! No wonder the third male lead didn't come today!]
Hearing this, Xia Chuyue took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
Quick, quick, let me see where it is!
At the Jin Yue Hotel!
As soon as he finished speaking, investor Ji Wanfeng stood up first, putting on his best acting skills, and smiled as he spoke.
"I'm treating everyone to lunch today. We'll all go to the Jinyue Hotel and have a good get-together. It'll make up for the regret that we couldn't have a meal together before the filming started."
The production team was in a tight schedule, and some actors had not yet been found when filming started, so they did not have a get-together.
Ji Wanfeng, quick-witted, immediately found an excuse to go to the Jin Yue Hotel and led a large group of celebrities there by car.
Xia Chuyue felt a little anxious when she thought of the girl who had been tricked by the third male lead.
[There's no specific time mentioned, but you absolutely must make it!]
[The third male lead is disgusting! Not only did he rape an innocent girl, but he also tried to cover up the truth and kill her!]
No, I can't stand it! This kind of person must be punished as he deserves!
Hearing Xia Chuyue's thoughts, Ji Wanfeng and the director exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with admiration.
Fortunately, Xia Chuyue is a kind and principled person; otherwise, if anyone else had obtained the gossip system, they might have used it to make money.
At that time, the entertainment industry will definitely not be as calm and peaceful as it is now.
And after much prayer in early summer, the Jin Yue Hotel finally arrived.
