Director Hu was still wearing glasses and it was obvious that he was called over in the middle of something busy.

"What's the matter? Why do you have to tell me in person?"

Producer Huang slowly gestured for people to sit on the stools, and picked up the pottery kettle to pour them a cup of boiling hot tea.

Seeing Lao Hu's impatient look, he stopped keeping the secret, put down his things, and announced with a beaming face, "Master Shi's investment is settled."

Director Hu was surprised and said, "Is this true?"

Producer Huang: "How could it be fake? The contract was signed an hour ago."

Director Hu was also very happy: "This is a good thing."

"Isn't it?! They are indeed a wealthy family, and their generosity is quite straightforward, don't you think so, Old Hu?"

Producer Huang said this while looking at Director Hu and smiling. That smile was very meaningful.

Director Hu sobered up a little, reacted, and said seriously: "Did you ask me to come here just to talk about this?"

"Of course not," Producer Huang chuckled, "Old Hu, you should know... who Young Master Shi is targeting with this investment."

"So?" Old Hu remained calm.

Producer Huang glanced at him twice, coughed twice to cover up his mistake, and didn't say it too clearly. His eyes sparkled, "I think our crew can make a few more investments like this."

"As the saying goes, cater to the needs of others and help them achieve their goals, right? Let's—"

He didn't finish his words.

He was interrupted by Director Hu's calm voice, "Stop!"

He raised his head, his eyes were extremely firm, he could see through the other person's thoughts at a glance, and even his address became extremely cautious.

"Mr. Huang, I never interfere with actors' private affairs. It was the same in the past and it will be the same in the future. I only have one thought and request, which is to make them feel at ease in my crew and work hard on my scenes."

"I will never allow any of the other messed up things to happen in my crew."

"You don't need to hire me with any scenery funds. If an investor appreciates or favors me, I welcome it with open arms and feet. But if the prerequisite is that it will disturb or interfere with my actors, then I don't want it and I won't be polite at all."

"That's it. I'm going back to my room for the script meeting."

Without giving Producer Huang any chance to interrupt, Director Hu finished what he said in one breath, opened the door and left.

Producer Huang was left with a look of disappointment. After a long while, he managed to utter, "...How can this old Hu be so stubborn!"

/ The next day, on the set.

Whether it was the staff or the actors, almost everyone had a cup of milk tea and a delicate snack.

When the waiter brought it in, he said that this was the milk tea that they always treated the entire crew to, and hoped that everyone would accept it.

Everyone looked at each other, and then looked in the direction of Sheng Yuan. They all knew what was going on with Men Qing'er and knew who she was taking advantage of.

The assistant director came over with a smile and a cup of milk tea.

"Lao Hu, hot one, it's the flavor you like."

Who would have thought that Director Hu's face was extremely cold. He didn't even glance at me, and his tone was extremely stern, "Take it away!"

The assistant director was so frightened that he immediately withdrew his hand, fearing that he would get into trouble, and disappeared from sight quickly and swiftly.

In the monitor in front of me.

The girl had long hair draped over her shoulders, with the hair on her forehead and sides braided into thin braids. She wore a crimson-purple horse-faced skirt and agate-jeweled hair. She had a beautiful face the size of a palm, and her profile expression was particularly serious, which was extremely vivid and eye-catching.

Director Hu, wearing a headset, watched, his thoughts becoming more determined and unexpected.

Such a humble and polite girl shouldn't be entangled in those messy things.

/ Lunch, intermission.

Sheng Yuan turned on her phone and found several new messages.

She watched for a while, then reported to the crew and asked for leave to go out of the set for a meal.

The staff already had a good impression of Sheng Yuan and felt at ease, so they agreed without much hesitation.

The actress doesn't have many scenes, only two or three today, and all in the afternoon, so she came here at this time.

After a while, she heard that Sheng Yuan had asked for leave.

Asking for leave is not uncommon.

But the actress was stunned for a long while, "I... just saw Master Shi of the Shi Group outside the film and television city."

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone around who heard it turned to look over.

/ The smooth marble floor reflects the sparkling crystal chandeliers on the high ceiling, clustered together like diamond flowers blooming in the water.

The tunes are elegant and rhythmic, and the air is filled with fragrance.

As soon as Sheng Yuan stepped into the luxurious hall, a waiter in a suit and tie, who had been waiting for a long time, came to greet her.

He nodded slightly and said, "Please come this way."

Passing through an artistic corridor, the waiter brought Sheng Yuan to the door of a distinguished box.

The waiter's white-gloved hand rested on the handle.

The door was slowly pushed open.

Before Sheng Yuan entered, a black shadow nearly as tall as a human suddenly jumped out from the door and pounced on her.

The first thing that my hands and arms felt was a furry touch, and then the dog's whimpering sound, like excitement and coquettishness, followed.

Sheng Yuan looked down at the adult German Shepherd that was leaning against her chest. Unable to bear the enthusiasm, she took two steps back and stretched out her hands to barely hold the two front paws.

The voice murmured softly, "You like to pounce on people so much."

"If it were someone else, it wouldn't be happy to pounce on them, and wouldn't even look at them."

A pleasant male voice with a warm and slightly lazy tone came from inside the door.

Sheng Yuan soothed the German Shepherd's head, let it move away, and then walked inside.

The large interior is decorated as a semi-open elegant room in ancient style.

Outside, there is gurgling water and green bamboo, and inside, there is an elegant low wooden table.

The man was wearing a single turtleneck sweater, had a handsome face and a reserved temperament. He was sitting on the side, fiddling with the tea set with his head down and very interested.

The steps of throwing, rushing, pouring, etc. are done slowly and methodically.

Sheng Qi raised his head and said, "Sit down."

Sheng Yuan adjusted the cushion and sat cross-legged opposite.

Five minutes ago.

She received a message from Sheng Qi.

[Your uncle has already told me that I must bring you to the five-star hotel opposite the film studio where you are filming, which is about to open, for the first meal before the opening.] [Of course, if you are too busy to come, that’s fine.] There is another thing after that——

[The premise is that, Xiao Yuan, you can bear to watch your brother being beaten up by your uncle.] "The menu is on the table. We have already ordered some. If you like anything else, just order it yourself."

As Sheng Qi spoke, he took a small ceramic cup, raised his hand, and poured tea. His movements looked quite elegant.

After pouring a cup, he pushed it in front of Sheng Yuan.

"Come, try your brother's cooking."

Sheng Yuan put down the tablet in his hand, and took it with both hands after hearing this, "Thank you, cousin."

"I was filming in Jiangcheng some time ago. I didn't go home for dinner even though I was at my doorstep?" Sheng Qi picked up his glass and took a sip from the rim of the glass.

The nearly scalding water made him squint his eyes. After a slight pause, he looked up at the girl opposite him, "Is this a performance of "passing by your house three times without entering?" (End of this chapter)
