Chapter 454 She knew perfectly well what was going on, so she was fearless.
The crew of "The Return of the Crane" booked an entire hotel. When they returned to the hotel, apart from the hotel staff, everyone else was from the film crew.
Shen Xuewei didn't stay at the hotel that Xu Yue and the others had booked because she felt the hotel environment wasn't good enough, so she asked Gan Shengnan to book a presidential suite at a five-star hotel for her.
Shen Xuewei stayed in Hengdian for more than ten days, watching Xu Yue film every day.
After work, the two strolled around the scenic area near Hengdian, and it felt like they were walking around a pedestrian street on a high school weekend.
After finishing her scenes for the day, Xu Yue lifted her skirt and jogged to the rest area, just in time to see Shen Xuewei stuffing the last grape into her mouth.
She snorted and sat down opposite Shen Xuewei.
"You, Shen Xuewei, I told you to leave some for me, but you ate it all."
Shen Xuewei swallowed slowly and deliberately, glancing at Ying Song beside her.
"With Sister Ying around, she'll save you a share of everything. How could I possibly finish it all?"
Ying Song gave an awkward smile, but in front of Shen Xuewei, he placed some of the grapes that he had previously collected in front of Xu Yue.
Xu Yue picked one grape and ate it, then pushed the box of grapes toward Shen Xuewei.
"Weiwei, you booked your flight for today, right?"
"Yeah, it'll be around 5 PM. I'll leave Hengdian after lunch. You focus on filming, and I'll come see you again when I have time."
"Alright, please say hello to Aunt Li and Aunt Lan for me when you get back. I've prepared gifts for them, please give them to them when you get back."
"Okay... eat more politely, or the grape juice will splatter from your mouth onto my face."
"What does it matter? You ate those 'pissing beef balls' before, and the juice splattered all over my face, but I didn't say anything to you."
"It's a bit dirty..."
"Wow, Shen Xuewei, I didn't complain about you before, and now you're complaining about me?"
...
While the two were bickering, a person walked over from a distance, first placing a small cake in front of Shen Xuewei, and then giving one to Xu Yue.
He even gave each of his bodyguards and assistants a drink.
After doing all this, he went to Shen Xuewei's side, opened the cake box, took a small fork, and handed it to Shen Xuewei.
"Miss Shen, this is a cake from the bakery you mentioned yesterday. I heard you like it with more mango, so I bought it especially for you. Try it and see if you like it."
"If it's not to your liking, I'll buy you another flavor. Or you can tell me what flavor you prefer..."
Amid Xu Yue's teasing smile, Shen Xuewei naturally accepted the small fork offered to her and took a bite out of courtesy.
She nodded slightly and said, "Hmm, not bad."
The person who came breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Noticing that half of Shen Xuewei's body was exposed to the sun, he stood beside her and shielded her from it.
Shen Xuewei continued chatting with Xu Yue casually until it was time to film the next scene. Xu Yue put down her script, tossed her coat to Ying Song, and got up to film.
Shen Xuewei looked at the empty seat opposite her and slightly raised her chin.
"Standing is tiring, sit down."
Whatever she said, the man did; he responded and sat down in the chair.
He sat down opposite her, and at that moment, Shen Xuewei was able to appreciate his appearance even more.
Her face was well-defined yet slightly thin, with her eyes lowered and her expression focused intently on the thin script in her hand. She looked very serene and had a touch of intellectual charm.
At this moment, his costume in the drama gives people a gentle and refined feeling, and there is a scholarly air between his brows.
Noticing that Shen Xuewei was looking at him, he looked up at her and smiled at her with a gentle smile, like a refined and elegant nobleman who had stepped out of an ancient scroll.
"Eating only cake might be a bit too much, let me peel an orange for you."
"Okay, sure."
When Xu Yue returned from filming, the man who had been sitting opposite Shen Xuewei had already left.
Xu Yue sat down, took the water handed to her by her assistant, took a sip, and observed the expression on Shen Xuewei's face.
"Weiwei, what do you think of Fang Shiyue?"
After thinking for a moment, Shen Xuewei said, "She is good-looking, has a gentle and stable temperament, is serious about acting, and is not very old."
It means that you have a good impression of this person.
Xu Yue reminded her, "He deliberately approached you; his motives aren't pure. Sister Ying has friends at their company who heard that he's not valued there, essentially being sidelined."
She looked around, then leaned close to Shen Xuewei's ear and whispered quickly:
"I heard that a high-ranking executive in their company tried to sexually harass him... That executive was a man, and he didn't agree. Anyway, he was sidelined like that."
"He got the role in the movie 'The Return of the Crane' by auditioning himself. His company has stopped giving him any resources and is leaving him to fend for himself."
"He approached you, most likely for resources. Vivi..."
She hesitated, afraid that Shen Xuewei would be deceived.
Compared to her worries, Shen Xuewei was unusually calm, with no surprise on her face.
“I guessed it. But… that’s not important. Besides, I can indeed give him what he wants. As for whether he can get it, that depends on his performance.”
"Ah Yue, don't treat me like some naive little girl. I'm more cunning than three of you combined."
No one approaches another without a reason, without ulterior motives such as seeking affection, money, love, or resources.
She knew that Fang Shiyue had ulterior motives for approaching her, and she was fully aware of this, so she was fearless.
If she truly doesn't want anything in return, then she should be on her guard.
She's been coming to the film set every day for the past ten days or so.
What's more, Xu Yue's assistant went into the lounge that day without closing the door, and ran into Fang Shiyue when she came out.
She knew why Fang Shiyue was getting closer to her, and now Xu Yue knew too.
The problem is that Shen Xuewei doesn't mind this, because she can give Fang Shiyue what he wants, and she can afford to give him what he wants.
As for whether he can afford it, that's Fang Shiyue's business.
Shen Xuewei won't lose anything; at least for now, she's getting a bunch of tall, handsome suitors.
Seeing that Shen Xuewei understood, Xu Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's true. I almost forgot, you're as cunning as a fox, how could you possibly suffer a loss..."
"But don't worry, I've already inquired about him. He's not the kind of person who messes around. He's only had one relationship in college and after graduation. After that... well, after that he got harassed by the executives at his current agency..."
Speaking of this again, Xu Yue suddenly felt that Fang Shiyue was quite unlucky...
If his own company doesn't provide resources, he has no choice but to find ways to obtain them himself.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Your crew should be taking a break, right? I don't like your boxed lunches, I'll eat out. I won't be coming this afternoon, I'm going straight to the airport."
"Okay. Oh, remember to bring back the gifts I gave to Aunt Li and Aunt Lan as well."
