The moment the little stand-in Tang Ning revealed her captivating charm that even Ye Xi felt a pang of unease, she knew things were going to go wrong. When she turned her head and saw Fu Yinze sitting not far from her with a faint, amused smile on his lips, Ye Xi's heart sank to the bottom.
Even Fu Yinze himself might not know that he has always had a little habit: whenever he becomes very interested in something or someone, the corners of his mouth will curve into a very ambiguous and tender smile, as if he were talking to his most beloved and cherished lover, which makes people fall in love with him.
Ye Xi stared intently at the man's profile for a while, and just as she was about to say something, the man's hand in his pocket trembled slightly. He took it out, looked at it for a moment, then stood up abruptly, turned off the screen of his phone which had displayed a boring entertainment news notification, gave Ye Xi an apologetic smile, and lied through his teeth, "Sorry, I just got a message from the company saying there's some urgent business that I need to go over and handle immediately. I was supposed to stay here for two days, but it seems I won't be able to now."
Upon hearing Fu Yinze's words, Ye Xi was completely stunned. She had already planned in her mind that she would take the initiative to tell the director tomorrow that her foot was almost healed and that she would do the rest of the scenes herself. After all, she felt guilty for not filming the scenes herself after receiving so much pay. She would then have her agent and company release a series of press releases online praising her professionalism, killing two birds with one stone.
As for all the scenes that the body double filmed in the past day or two, she will of course find a way to delete them completely, ensuring that not a single shot can be found when the movie is released.
For the next two days, she would keep a close watch on Yin Ze, and even wanted to take the initiative to find Fu Yuankai to ask him to spend more time with his girlfriend. She also wanted to find an opportunity to subtly point out to him whether his girlfriend was having too much contact with his uncle. Of course, she wasn't trying to sow discord; it was just that the rumors on set were a bit unpleasant, etc.
The stand-in had caught her completely off guard before, but now she was well-prepared. She had even thought out all the conversations she would have to give Fu Yuankai to ensure that Yin Ze and Tang Ning would never get close to each other again.
She had thought everything through, but she never expected that Yinze would leave because of company matters.
So what about her foot injury? Was she just doing all the work for someone else from beginning to end?
She felt that the confident version of herself who had recently fallen from the wire and was scheming and calculating was just an idiot.
Ye Xi, who has made it to such a position in the entertainment industry, is quite shrewd. However, all her plans are still somewhat naive to Fu Yinze, a seasoned businessman. Just like now, she thought she had hidden all her schemes very well, but Fu Yinze could still see through most of them with just a glance.
He couldn't let her encourage Fu Yuankai and Tang Ning's relationship to deepen; that would be too detrimental to him.
Moreover, now that he has his own goals, he has no intention of staying to play house with others, so he simply made up an excuse and left.
After a moment of confusion, Ye Xi could only force a smile and tell him to focus on his work.
Tang Ning, who had just finished filming, emerged from the water and saw Fu Yin walking away amidst the farewells of the assistant director and producer of the crew.
Seeing this, she quickly wrapped herself in a white bath towel and ran after him.
"Mr. Fu, Mr. Fu, Mr. Fu..."
After calling her several times, Fu Yin finally stopped and turned around to look at her with a smile.
Tang Ning was still dripping wet when she ran up to him. Because it was a bath scene, she, as a stand-in, didn't need to wear makeup, and her face was incredibly clean. Only when she got closer did Fu Yin notice just how good her skin was. Because she had run over, her cheeks were flushed with a light pink, her lips were pink, and her eyes were bright and clear. When she looked at you, it was as if you were her whole world.
Seeing this, Fu Yin's smile deepened.
"Mr. Fu, are you leaving?" Tang Ning asked hurriedly as soon as she ran over.
"Yes, I have some things to take care of at the company."
"Well then, have a safe journey."
Tang Ning smiled and said, then seemed to suddenly remember something, "Oh right, we've met several times already, but I still don't have your contact information. I've been forgetting to ask for it. Why don't you write down my phone number and call me from my phone on set right now?"
She came out mainly to exchange contact information. During the filming, she caught a glimpse of Fu Yinze's expression and knew that she would soon need to use this contact information.
"Tangbao, Tangbao, why did he leave all of a sudden? We clearly increased his favorability rating! Why didn't he stay to watch you act?"
If it were it, it definitely wouldn't want to leave. Tang Bao's acting is so good, it makes it incredibly proud.
"Acting? I think I'm out of the running for now, and our CEO Fu probably already guessed that. As for why he left, of course it's because..."
He went back to knit a hat for his little nephew.
Tang Ning smiled gently.
But 54088's focus was completely off-topic. She asked in confusion, "Why aren't you in any scenes anymore? You clearly signed a two-month contract with the production team. How come you're not in any scenes?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Ning smiled but remained silent.
Sure enough, the next day, she was informed by the production team that the contract was terminated without any explanation.
She didn't make a fuss, packed her things, secretly said goodbye to Fu Yuankai, and then said goodbye to the rest of the crew before leaving.
She hadn't expected that as soon as she reached the door, she would see Qi Lie leaning against a banyan tree, tossing a coin up and down. When he saw her walk past him, he suddenly stopped.
"Actually... your movements were very beautiful..."
The other party's affirmative voice reached Tang Ning's ears directly.
Qi Lie has never admired anyone but those with talent since childhood. He doesn't care about wire work or martial arts moves, and he was even amazed by the dramatic scene in the bathhouse yesterday, so of course he had to give it his approval.
54088 was excitedly watching Qi Zha's favorability increase by +1, +1, +1... so excited that he almost drooled.
Who would have thought that the next second would be like this—
Tang Ning, who had been walking steadily, suddenly stopped when she heard what the other person said. She turned around, stuck out her tongue at the person next to her, and before the other person could react, she grabbed her suitcase and ran out.
Who wants your approval?
Tang Ning thought this disdainfully as she ran, leaving the man behind her kicking the tree in a fit of rage.
The excited 54088 instantly felt exhausted and lost all interest.
It's -100 again, sob sob.
The next three days passed quickly as Ye Xi focused on filming, Tang Ning occasionally sent WeChat messages to keep in touch with Fu Yuankai, and sometimes just sat at home picking her toes to pass the time.
Three days later, an explosive news story swept across the entire internet.
A photo of Fu Yinze, president of Genji Entertainment and a national heartthrob, dining with the daughter of a jewelry tycoon at a high-end restaurant has surfaced online. Along with the photo, news has also emerged that Fu Yinze is about to enter into a business marriage with the woman in the photo, a major alliance between two powerful figures.
Following this news, the share prices of Yuanshi Entertainment and Shangpin Jewelry both rose significantly.
Almost simultaneously, in a private club, Fu Yin, nestled in a soft sofa, smiled and raised his wine glass to the woman in the red dress sitting opposite him, saying, "Pleasant to cooperate." He then took a small sip of the wine.
"It's a pleasure doing business with you!"
The woman smiled radiantly as well, "Although I didn't know that President Fu hesitated for so long and ultimately chose me to sign this contract instead of my brother, I will definitely not let you down!"
If outsiders could see the woman's face now, they would probably recognize her as the daughter of the jewelry tycoon whose engagement to Fu Yinze is currently making headlines.
"The rumors circulating outside are just too outrageous. Even my father asked me last night if it was true. How could it be?" the woman said with a smile. She was going to surpass her brother and take over the huge business of Shangpin Jewelry!
"So, do I need to clarify this?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Yin raised an eyebrow. "No need, at least not now. I've had at least eight or ten such rumors every year. This time, it even caused both companies' stocks to rise significantly. It's all beneficial and harmless."
not to mention……
He went through so much trouble to get things going like this, he can't let it all go to waste!
Now, let him look forward to Ye Xi's performance!
I hope she won't disappoint him!
Ye Xi, who had just received the devastating news that Fu Yinze was engaged to someone else, immediately received a reminder from Fu Yinze's secretary, which essentially said that the president would be busy with work recently, and asked her not to bother him if she didn't have to, and it would be best not to disturb him if she did.
What does this mean? It means that the engagement is most likely true!
That's why he told her not to disturb them!
"Impossible! Impossible! Impossible!" Ye Xi suddenly threw her phone away, and with a loud bang, the phone shattered into pieces and fell to the ground.
"How could Yinze possibly marry someone else! How could he! How could he marry another woman? That...that woman, besides her good family background, what does she have that compares to me? I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled!"
Ye Xi shouted.
The assistant, Amy, was so frightened that she huddled against the wall, too scared to move.
This is terrifying. She's been with Ye Xi for so long, and this is the first time she's ever seen her lose her temper.
Upon receiving the same message, Fu Yuankai, fearing that Ye Xi might do something rash, quickly opened the door to rescue her.
Hearing the door open, Ye Xi looked up with teary eyes, and upon seeing Fu Yuankai, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
"Yuan Kai, he doesn't want me anymore, Yin Ze... Yin Ze doesn't want me anymore... he doesn't want me anymore..."
After saying that, she burst into tears in Fu Yuankai's arms.
They were perfectly fine just a few days ago... why... why...
Fu Yuankai, who hadn't slept well all night, finally managed to coax Ye Xi to sleep just before dawn. Only then did he quietly close the door and leave.
What he didn't expect was that Ye Xi opened her eyes immediately after he stepped out the door.
After crying, she finally realized with horror that she seemed to be more afraid of losing the various conveniences and successes that Fu Yinze brought her than of losing Fu Yinze as a person.
With someone of such high status as his fiancée, he'll likely never openly grant her the same favors in the future. Even if he does, she'll never have the good reputation she has now. Being in a relationship and being a mistress are two completely different things. She's certain that if she's photographed meeting Fu Yinzhe again, now that he's actually engaged, she'll be met with relentless online attacks and unbridled ridicule from her rivals.
Even now, just imagining that scene makes Ye Xi, who has been protected by Fu Yinze since her debut and hasn't experienced many setbacks, feel a chill in her heart.
no!
She absolutely cannot sit idly by and wait to die!
But Fu Yinze was about to get engaged, and the person she was engaged to was the daughter of a jewelry tycoon. What else could she do but sit and wait for her fate?
Feeling lost and helpless, Ye Xi's tears fell again.
Just then, her gaze suddenly fell on a cup of hot water that Fu Yuankai had poured for her before leaving, so she could drink it as soon as she woke up.
This is……
A glint suddenly appeared in the woman's eyes.
So, just two days after the rumors started circulating, Tang Ning received news that Fu Yuankai was going to Japan.
She glanced at Ye Xi's schedule—
Yes, I happen to have a Japanese magazine photoshoot these days!
What a coincidence!
Just then, her phone rang. When she saw the original owner's mother's number displayed, she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and casually swiped to answer—
"Ningning, Ningning, your dad... something happened to him..."
It's finally here.
It seems Fu Yuankai's hat is about to change color too.
