Finally, the female director concluded: "This is it, if I can't have you, I'll destroy you!"
The director and other staff members listened in a daze, but after careful consideration, they found it to make a lot of sense.
but……
One of the staff members quietly raised his hand and said, "What you're saying is based on the premise that Chen Lan has the ability to bewitch people. Is he really that amazing?"
When the question was asked, everyone in the monitoring room fell silent.
It wasn't that I was denying what the staff member said, but I couldn't help but recall the scene when they faced Chen Lan before.
As if blinded by greed, they found everything Chen Lan did incredibly charming, and their eyes would unconsciously search for her in the crowd.
Moreover, if Chen Lan had any requests, they would immediately think of ways to fulfill them.
Everything Chen Lan does is right; anyone who dislikes Chen Lan is their public enemy.
You don't know until you think back, and then you're shocked.
They had been completely unaware that they had previously regarded Chen Lan as a faith.
Almost everyone gasped. This was outrageous! Had they really been bewitched by Chen Lan?
The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
The director paused for a moment, then said seriously, "From now on, when Chen Lan asks you to do something, think it over carefully before you decide."
No one objected.
The feeling of being manipulated without one's knowledge is truly terrifying.
Chen Lan is only asking them to do trivial things now, but what about in the future? If Chen Lan has other requirements, will she ask them to do things that violate their principles or even break the law?
The thought of this possibility sent a chill down everyone's spine.
And she secretly decided that she must stay away from Chen Lan from now on.
The day's filming concluded amidst the vigilance of the staff, unaware that the alluring power of his irresistible charm was gradually crumbling.

The filming wrapped up, and it was already very late.
The guests returned to their respective rooms.
When Jiang Qi reached the door of the room, she saw Chen Lan standing on the balcony.
She paused for a moment as she opened the door, then turned and walked toward Chen Lan.
To provide a place for guests to relax, not every corner of the villa is equipped with cameras and recording equipment; the terrace where Chen Lan is currently located is one of them.
"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Jiang Qi walked over to Chen Lan and asked with a smile.
Chen Lan: "I can't sleep."
He handed Jiang Qi a cigarette.
Jiang Qi took it.
The two men stood by the railing, smoking.
Chen Lan exhaled a puff of smoke, squinted, and said, "You've made plans with Zheng Siyu tonight, haven't you?"
When this topic was brought up, Jiang Qi's expression darkened, and she hummed in response.
Jiang Qi was the only one in tonight's "I Have Something to Say to You" segment who didn't ask Fu Bai out. She participated in the recording of "Expired Lovers," and after learning Zheng Siyu's identity, her goal was very clear—
She wanted to win over Zheng Siyu and marry into the Zheng family to become Mrs. Zheng.
When Jiang Qi learned that Shen Fubai was Zheng Siyu's ex-boyfriend, she looked down on Shen Fubai and targeted her.
Later, when Jiang Qi saw Zheng Siyu fawning over Chen Lan, she didn't dislike Chen Lan at all. In fact, she felt that she had lost to Chen Lan and was convinced of her defeat.
Jiang Qi even felt a desire to bless Zheng Siyu and Chen Lan.
Who would have thought that after the dramatic redesign of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," Zheng Siyu would show signs of going back to his old flame.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qi chuckled softly, but her eyes remained dark and unfathomable.
Chen Lan glanced at Jiang Qi, accurately catching the coldness in the other's eyes.
Chen Lan said casually, "Zheng Siyu didn't ask me out tonight."
Jiang Qi frowned: "How is that possible?"
Although Zheng Siyu wanted to go back to her ex, Jiang Qi could still tell that Zheng Siyu was more inclined towards Chen Lan, so why would she give Shen Fubai the chance to speak the truth?
Chen Lan smiled knowingly, "He probably wants to get back together with Shen Fubai. After all, Shen Fubai was his first love."
"First love isn't so easy to forget."
Jiang Qi bit her lower lip and remained silent.
Chen Lan stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray and naturally changed the subject: "By the way, I heard you study biology. I've recently become interested in reptiles, so may I ask you a few questions?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qi couldn't help but look up at Chen Lan.
She looked up and her eyes met Chen Lan's.
Those were a pair of pitch-black eyes, with a vortex hidden in the dark pupils, giving Jiang Qi the illusion that she was about to be sucked into the vortex.
Jiang Qi paused for a moment, then slowly said, "Okay."
Chen Lan smiled upon hearing this, reached out and gently touched Jiang Qi's hair, and said tenderly, "It's getting late, go back to sleep."
Jiang Qi smiled back at him, threw her cigarette butt into the ashtray, and turned to go back.
Chen Lan watched Jiang Qi walk away, then looked up at the third floor and smiled.
His smile was contemptuous, yet it also revealed a hint of ruthlessness.
He had realized that Shen Fubai was a variable, and in order to prevent this variable from bringing greater uncertainty, Shen Fubai had to die.

When Jiang Qi returned to her room, Shu Changchang, who had chosen the same room as her, had already returned.
Shu Changchang was heading to the bathroom with her pajamas when she saw Jiang Qi open the door and come in, still smelling of smoke on him. She stopped, frowned, and asked, "You've been smoking?"
Jiang Qi raised an eyebrow and chuckled: "What's it to you?"
Shu Changchang choked, feeling that the person in front of her was a complete stranger, no longer the lover she had dated for several years.
Finally, Shu Changchang gave a self-deprecating laugh: "It really has nothing to do with me anymore."
As he spoke, he opened the bathroom door and kindly reminded Jiang Qi before going in, "Jiang Qi, you'd better stay away from Chen Lan. He's not a simple man."
Without waiting for Jiang Qi's response, he went into the bathroom, closed the door, and took a shower.
When filming for "Expired Lover" first started, Shu Changchang did have feelings for Chen Lan.
But after spending time with Fu Bai, Shu Changchang felt the fog that had been covering her mind gradually dissipate, allowing her to clearly see what kind of person Chen Lan was.
Putting aside other things, the isolation that Shen Fubai experienced during the first few days of filming for "Expired Lovers" was a result of Chen Lan's words.
He seems to have a kind of magic that makes people do what he says.
Shu Changchang turned on the shower and let the warm water spray down.
Hopefully, Jiang Qi will wake up soon and not be taken advantage of without realizing it, even helping the person counting the money.
However, Jiang Qi clearly did not heed Shu Changchang's kind advice; not only did she ignore it, she also loudly retorted.
"Shu Changchang, I know you're getting close to Shen Fubai now, so you've started targeting Chen Lan."
“I know Chen Lan better than you do. It’s no use trying to spread rumors about me.”
"Besides, you were the one who broke up with me in the first place, so what right do you have to tell me who I'm close to?"
Jiang Qi's voice was mixed in with the sound of water, but Shu Changchang could hear it clearly.
She shook her head sarcastically.
Well then, good advice is useless against a damned devil. Let Jiang Qi go.
