Chapter 4: Iron Tree Blooms



Shen Yunxing, a spoiled child, endured the nausea and ate a few mouthfuls of food. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and pushed the braised pork, which he had only touched two bites, to the young boy who was staring at his bowl and chopsticks.

"The spoon I used was not stained with saliva."

"It's okay, it's okay. I don't mind you." Lu Bai said vaguely while eating.

Aunt Liu, who was in charge of cooking in the crew, was brought by Director Qin. Her cooking skills were beyond reproach. She could cook Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, big pot dishes, and even Western food.

On the day Shen Yunxing first came, he ate two big bowls of rice with the braised pork made by Aunt Liu. After just two days, he was sick of it and couldn't even smell it.

His stomach was churning, and Shen Yunxing covered his stomach with his face as pale as paper.

"Yunxing, why do you look so bad?" The screenwriter came to talk to him about the play. Seeing his frighteningly pale face, she was immediately shocked and pulled him and said anxiously, "Why are you still hiding your illness? Go back and rest quickly. Anyway, you don't have any roles at the moment. I'll tell Director Qin for you, so you don't have to make a special trip."

Shen Yunxing felt very uncomfortable, so he didn't refuse the screenwriter's kindness.

"Thank you, Sister Zhao."

He said weakly, and went back to the room to rest with Lu Bai's help.

Qin Zheng's crew was halfway up Wucheng Mountain. At the foot of the mountain was a farmhouse called "Lie Down and Eat", owned by Tang Che.

"I'm sorry, brother. I have something urgent to do here and won't be there until tomorrow." Tang Che begged for mercy humbly on the phone. "It was not fair of me to bring Red Egg to your company last time. I sincerely admit my mistake. I hope that Mr. Fu will not bear grudges and forgive me this time."

Fu Tingzhou raised his eyebrows: "You have made my company a mess. Everyone thinks that I am secretly married and have children with someone. Do you think you can get away with it with just a few words?"

"It's my fault that I didn't find out clearly. I just thought that you and Mingyuan had finally gotten married, and I wanted to celebrate. Who admits that there was someone else who had sex with you all night, and it was not Tang Mingyuan at all!" There was a

hint of regret in Tang Che's words. If Old Fu really got together with his little cousin, he would have to call him "Big Brother" at every New Year's party. Just thinking about it makes him excited!

"No, I'm still curious about who that person is. You're covering it up so tightly, there must be something fishy

going on." Fu Tingzhou pretended not to hear and turned to talk about Old Master Tang.

"Have you said hello to Old Master Tang?"

"How dare I? Every time I come here, the old man scolds me. If he knew that the girlfriend he introduced to me last time didn't work out again, he would be so angry that he would faint!"

Speaking of Old Master Tang, Tang Che shuddered.

"Brother, I was wrong. I'm not curious anymore, okay? As long as you help me stabilize the old man, you can ask for anything you want!"

Fu Tingzhou did not put forward any conditions, but asked casually: "You said some time ago that Tang Mingyuan signed with Shengshi Entertainment?"

"Ah, you know that the kid has liked acting since he was a child, and Shengshi Entertainment is under your company, so he was thinking of meeting you by chance. Why are you asking this, don't you dislike..."

The person on the other end of the phone paused, and then a long-lasting "Fuck" was heard.

"Okay, okay, I'll help you deal with Mingyuan, okay? I promise I won't let him stick to you anymore."

Fu Tingzhou was satisfied: "My old man likes to drink tea, remember to buy some good tea tomorrow."

"Hey."

Tang Che agreed, but he felt something was wrong.

"You fell in love with someone just because you slept with him once? You even learned to drive to the school gate to block people. Old Fu, you are really a good person, so congratulations."

Fu Tingzhou frowned: "Try to get Secretary Yang's help again, and I will deal with it myself in the future."

The other end of the phone wailed: "No, brother, I was wrong!"

Fu Tingzhou hung up the phone, and his ears were suddenly clear.

Grandpa Tang was in poor health, and "Lie Down and Eat" was a farmhouse built by Tang Che for him to show his filial piety.

Although the grandpa was not happy that his only grandson had not yet married and left behind a child, he was still very sad. When he heard that his grandson had built a farmhouse for him, he had his people pack up and move in without much persuasion.

Fu Tingzhou and Tang Che grew up in the same alley since they were young, and the two families were close. The grandpa treated him as half a grandson, and he had everything that Tang Che had. In addition to the changes that happened when he was in his twenties, he had already regarded the grandpa as his own family. Over

the years, no matter how busy he was at work, he would take two days every month to visit the grandpa at the farmhouse.

"Tingzhou is here." As soon as Fu Tingzhou entered the house, the old man called him, "Come on, help me figure out the next move."

The old man likes to play chess. He just learned how to surf the Internet some time ago. He can play chess with his chess friends without leaving home. He is so happy. It has been several days since he stayed at home as an old boy on the Internet.

Fu Tingzhou looked over and pointed to a location.

"Here."

"Oh, why didn't I think of it? I am so old. It seems that I can't refuse to admit my age." The old man won the chess friend, smiled happily, and pulled Fu Tingzhou to show him the past record.

"Old Li is a bad guy. I just won two more games from him, and he is still angry with me."

Fu Tingzhou looked at the winning streak that could not fit on a screen, and felt a little amused.

"You didn't win two games, you won ten games in a row. You've lost all the beans. It's strange that Grandpa Li is not angry."

After hearing this, the old man laughed, but the relationship with his old chess friend couldn't be so tense, so he asked Fu Tingzhou to spend 100 yuan to buy 1 million beans for Old Li. But

the old man was heartbroken. After lunch, he went out for a walk and kept muttering.

"I only have 600,000 beans in my bag, and Old Li has 1 million. No, I have to win some tomorrow, otherwise the old guy will come to me to show off."

"Then you take it easy, don't keep winning, otherwise Grandpa Li will be upset again." Fu Tingzhou said with a smile.

The old man's beard twitched: "Huh, that old guy is not good at chess, and his temper is worse."

Fu Tingzhou accompanied him for a walk, and when they passed by the chess club, the old man saw that Old Li was showing off to others about the one million beans he had just received. The old man was very angry, and he rolled up his sleeves and rushed over.

"You old guy, you just told me that you were going to take a nap, but you came here to show off! No, if I don't win all the beans on you today, I, Old Tang, will take your surname!"

"Okay, who's afraid of who! I was unlucky that day, and today I'm waiting for you to come and strengthen my Old Li family, hahahaha——"

Seeing that his old man was playing chess with someone, Fu Tingzhou estimated that the game would not end for a while, so he decided to walk around the mountain.

Wucheng Mountain has beautiful scenery and pleasant temperature, which is in sharp contrast to the hot climate at the foot of the mountain. Unknown birds are singing in the woods, their voices are clear and pleasant, making people happy.

Fu Tingzhou walked up along the narrow path and unknowingly reached the halfway point of the mountain.

"Yunxing, are you sure everything is fine? If you still feel uncomfortable, go back and rest. You can shoot this scene tomorrow."

"Thank you, Sister Zhao, I'm fine. I feel much better after resting."

Hearing the familiar name, Fu Tingzhou paused. He walked towards the source of the sound, walked around several large trees, and sure enough, he saw a familiar figure.

The boy was wearing a pair of washed-out jeans, and a thin figure under a white T-shirt. Because of the hot weather, his hair stuck to his forehead, and he was holding a snakeskin bag covered with mud in his hand.

It was not a very good image, but under the shining sunlight, the boy's face was shining and bright, and it was engraved in Fu Tingzhou's heart at a glance.

"All departments, take your positions."

"Action!"

Shen Yunxing's expression changed rapidly. At this time, his face was full of longing and yearning, but a closer look revealed a hint of timidity and inferiority.

He was the young Xu Fei, who yearned for the world outside the mountains, but was also worried that he could not cope with it.

But he did not retreat, and bravely took the first step in the light, which was also the beginning of his fate.

"Cut!"

"Very good, this scene is very touching." Director Tan praised with a smile, "Your acting skills are so good at such a young age, your future is limitless."

"You are a good storyteller." Shen Yunxing said with a smile. He has been praised by Director Tan a lot in the past few days and has become accustomed to it.

"Okay, you don't have any scenes in the afternoon, go back and have a rest. Xiao Zhao, the male lead I chose, you have to take good care of him, otherwise it will be difficult to find him to cooperate with him in the future when he becomes famous." Qin Zheng teased Shen Yunxing deliberately.

Screenwriter Zhao Ying followed suit: "Hey, I promise to take good care of you like you are in confinement after childbirth."

After the words fell, the whole crew burst into laughter.

Shen Yunxing was thin-skinned, and his face turned red while he was talking and laughing. His slightly pale face finally showed a hint of color.

A few meters away, Fu Tingzhou saw the fatigue hidden under the boy's smile, and frowned.

"Director Qin, there's a man in a suit on camera." The cameraman pointed to a blurry figure that was no bigger than his little finger.

Qin Zheng frowned, but when he looked over, he found that it didn't affect the overall picture, so he said to keep it and blur it a little in the later stage.

Click.

The gears of fate turned, and two people who had no intersection at all will eventually meet somewhere one day.

The author has something to say:

Lu Bai: Oh, the family of three is in the same frame (eating melon)

Director Qin: (eating melon)

Zhao Ying: (eating melon)

Da Chengzi: (eating melon)

Shen Yunshu: ???

Lu Bai: The wind is strong, stop it!
