Chapter 48

Song Zhiyi opened the character card booklet and wrote the three words "Shang Qiulin" on it.

She did this not just for the sake of gossip, but mainly for Song Zhiyu.

Last time, she and Liu Liu discussed and decided to give Song Zhiyu an absurd character that would collapse wherever he went. Of course, they definitely couldn't let Song Zhiyu really have his character collapse wherever he went. Although this would make his character more stable, he would undoubtedly become a "cancer" that the industry would avoid.

They would never let such a thing happen. They had discussed carefully who would collapse, how they would collapse, when to join in the fun, when to avoid the storm, and the frequency of Song Zhiyu's participation.

Last week, there was the sudden popularity of Xu Yibai's engagement banquet, so during this period, just shoot and run the schedule normally. However, there will be fewer artists whose reputations will be ruined in the future, so Song Zhiyi feels that she still needs to save more time.

[Shang Qiulin...]

Song Zhiyi skimmed through the text information. Shang Qiulin's career in the entertainment industry was not long, so the content of the character card was relatively small. It didn't take Song Zhiyi long to finish reading it. He didn't find any signs of a collapsed house, but he did find something else.

Shang Qiulin's relationship with his current agent, his stepmother, is not clean.

【Tsk tsk tsk, my mother’s literature shines into reality. 】

Mama literature.

Meng Yunlan covered the cup and squeezed it tightly, thinking, she had vaguely heard of what stepmother literature was, but if she remembered correctly, Shang Qiulin's father seemed to be still alive?

[From this perspective, Shang Qiulin and his mother are both wearing orange and white clothes. Isn't this a couple outfit? ]

Oh wow, they really look alike.

Meng Yunlan put the thermos down and forced down the corners of her mouth that kept rising.

Not only the clothes, but their phone cases seem to be the same model. When I think about it carefully, the last time they worked together, the agent followed Shang Qiulin wherever he went. Although they are a family workshop, Shang Qiulin is not a child anymore, so it is a bit strange that he follows so closely.

[Is Shang Qiulin's father still alive? ]

Live, live, Meng Yunlan answered in her heart. If she hadn't been told not to mention her feelings in front of Song Zhiyi, she would have wanted to pull a stool over to join in the chat. Melons are only fun to eat with a group of people.

But she soon found the organization because someone created a group.

The phone dinged and beeped, Meng Yunlan turned it to mute and exchanged a subtle look with a colleague nearby. Very good, we are all gossipers.

In the chat group, friends with fast fingers have posted several pictures. When you click on them, you will see screenshots of Shang Die and Baidu Encyclopedia and interview materials about his two marriages.

The first wife worked with Shang's father to build his career, but she also damaged her health and passed away when Shang Qiulin was ten years old.

The second wife was this stepmother. She was Shang Qiulin's high school teacher. Children of that age were more or less rebellious, and Shang Qiulin was no exception. At first, the stepmother thought he was just a troublemaker, but after learning about his family, she felt pity for him and took better care of him. As a result, she met Shang's father, and the two entered the palace of marriage.

The efficiency of one person is obviously not as high as that of a group. Judging from Song Zhiyi's occasional voice, she was also checking the encyclopedia, but her speed was a little slower than that of the people in their group.

[It turns out that he is still alive. Shang's father is fifteen years older than his stepmother, and his stepmother is eight years older than Shang Qiulin? These two age differences are actually not that big of an exaggeration.]

Yes, yes, so what is mommy literature all about?

Everyone was looking at their phones, listening attentively.

[Hey, my little mom is Shang Qiulin's teacher? I think I've seen this before.]

Yes, yes, we have found out...

[…Wow, Shang Qiulin had a crush on her when he was in high school! ]

"!!!" They searched in vain! Such explosive information is not something that can be easily found.

Meng Yunlan's eyes suddenly lit up, and her five fingers flew and danced on the screen of her mobile phone. On the left side of the screen, the messages that kept popping up were overwhelming.

[Secret love! Is it the secret love I think of?]

[I wanted to be registered with her in the same household registration book, and finally we were registered in the same household registration book, but it was done in this way. I cried my heart out]

[What kind of forbidden love is this? I have an idea. The male protagonist watched helplessly as his sweetheart became his stepmother. From then on, his love became forever unspeakable. It would be inappropriate if it wasn’t for the dark side.]

[I give you the pen, you write]

[Oh, you are a screenwriter, then you should stop writing, it won’t be broadcast/wake up.jpg]

Song Zhiyi didn't know that she had inadvertently inspired a group of people to make up a short story. She was busy looking for Shang Qiulin's high school days.

[Found it. It seems that the interview said that Shang Qiulin was very rebellious in high school? How come this is different from what I found out... Ah, as expected, Shang Qiulin's rebelliousness was all fake!

[After the class was reassigned and the teacher was changed, he fell in love with the stepmother who was still his teacher at first sight. He studied very hard to attract her attention. After he was successfully noticed, he became jealous of the poor students who were always cared for by the stepmother, so he started to act rebellious. I said that the previous message also wrote that he was very well-behaved and sensible. ]

[It seems that he has done a good job of pretending to be rebellious. He has turned from a good and dark horse student to a thorny school bully. My mother has really started to pay attention to him. Wow, he has learned it all by himself. It's a shame. ]

[On his birthday, he climbed over the wall and skipped classes to go to his biological mother's grave to pay respects. He was afraid that his mother wouldn't be able to find him, so he told his "little brother" where he was in advance. As soon as his mother found him, he immediately started to perform, crying in the wind, fragile and sad. Under the orange sunset, he looked like he was about to break. Which kind-hearted teacher wouldn't feel sorry for him! ]

The inner voice stopped for a while, and Song Zhiyi closed his eyes. When he opened them again, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

[This performance is truly textbook-level. Fortunately, Shang Qiulin entered the entertainment industry, otherwise it would be a waste of his talent if he didn't become an actor.]

Is he such a good actor? I haven't seen how good his acting skills are before. No, when I think about it, Shang Qiulin seems to be very good at crying, but he just can't act funny scenes.

Meng Yunlan sighed and looked down at the group chat history. In just such a short while, a lot of messages had appeared in the group.

[School bully and little white rabbit teacher, right? I bumped into you]

[To be more precise, it is edible]

[To be more precise, it's a top student pretending to be a school bully]

[Do you have to sell yourself to someone you are courting? I have failed. Next time I will sell myself to my blind date!]

[Goodbye]

[RIP]

The chat was so chaotic that I could hardly keep my eyes open.

Meng Yunlan pinched her brows and simply stopped scrolling through the messages, only concentrating on listening to the sounds ringing in her ears.

[The young mother was really deceived. She was so heartbroken that she asked for leave to take Shang Qiulin out to eat cake and celebrate his birthday. She also took good care of Shang Qiulin afterwards. Unfortunately, Shang Qiulin made a wrong move.]

[It's too much, it would be fine if he just acted a little, but he had to make a scene like "Mom is dead and dad doesn't love me". Xiaoma felt even more distressed, but she also became familiar with Shang's father because of this. To round it off, the reason why Xiaoma became Xiaoma was because of her own matchmaking! ]

[So sad. I feel like I’ve already started to jerk off]

[Scriptwriter, if you dare to write this for me, don’t blame me for sending you a knife]

[I got an inspiration!]

[XX withdrew a message]

[Why are you all crying? Don’t you think this is better?]

[Just be, just be]

[……]

[Wake up everyone in front of you. Have you forgotten what the boss said? This is mommy literature!]

This remark awakened the dreamer, and those who were dreaming of death and those who were tortured to death were all stunned at the same time.

[Oh, so Shang Qiulin is still with his stepmother?]

[May all lovers in the world eventually become a family. It is more important than anything else that the three of them live a good life!]

What a mess this is.

Meng Yunlan squinted her eyes and moved away from the mobile phone screen in disgust, while at the same time glancing in the direction of Song Zhi while moving a stool closer.

"Director Meng." A male voice sounded.

There was no word on the blue notebook that Song Zhiyi had been holding. What was she reading? Was it the Book of Heaven without Words? Huh? I put the book down. Damn it, I couldn't see anything.

Meng Yunlan moved the stool while his eyes were squinting.

"Director Meng."

"...Hmm?" Meng Yunlan straightened up and turned towards the source of the voice. "Why... Ahem, um, it's Qiulin."

Bad news, why is he here? Meng Yunlan glanced in the direction of Song Zhiyi, hoping that they would not fight later.

"Didn't you say last time that this tea was delicious? I thought I'd bring you some this time." Shang Qiulin said as he handed over an unlabeled iron box.

"No merit, no reward. I can't accept this." Meng Yunlan waved his hand to refuse, and greeted: "What are you busy with recently? I heard that your father also wants to invest in movies?"

"They are all grown at home, not worth much. You can drink them for fun when you have nothing to do. Black tea is good for women." Zhao Ya, the agent and stepmother beside Shang Qiulin, took the iron box and put it into Meng Yunlan's hand with a smile.

"Yes, just take it. Why are you being so distant?" Shang Qiulin also laughed. "My dad wants to invest in something to try it out. But it's not a movie. He wants to make a web series first."

Meng Yunlan looked at the two of them in the same frame, and her mind wandered unconsciously. When she came to her senses, she had already taken the iron box of tea from Zhao Yatian. She could only agree, "Well, the momentum of the online drama is also..."

[Investing in a web series? What web series? It can’t be that fantasy series that lost a lot of money, right? ]

Shang Qiulin and Meng Yunlan: "::::::"

[That's not right. Now that I think about it, the name of this fantasy drama seems familiar. I seem to have seen its plot somewhere before? ]

"...Who is that?" Shang Qiulin asked with his throat rolling.

Meng Yunlan smiled dryly: "Haha, it's our investor Mr. Song."

Investor? That's good. Shang Qiulin breathed a sigh of relief. It shouldn't be the person he thought it was.

"...That is Song Zhiyu's sister." Meng Yunlan added the second half of the sentence

Shang Qiulin: “…”

It's bad. He had clearly asked before he came, but Song Zhiyi wasn't here!
