Chapter 26
Cheng Cheng didn't know what was going on, so he got into the nanny car with Zhou Yue.
Cheng Cheng: “…”
Zhou Yue: “!!!!”
Cheng Cheng: "...Why are you glaring at me?"
Zhou Yue: "You know how dangerous it was just now. What would you do if that person pulled out a knife?"
Cheng Cheng: "I'm hiding."
Zhou Yue fainted from anger: “......”
"That's not right," Cheng Cheng finally remembered and asked, "Why are you here?"
Zhou Yue said calmly: "We met by chance."
Cheng Cheng frowned suspiciously: "...What a coincidence? Could it be that you directed and performed this yourself?"
Zhou Yue was speechless: ".......You've acted in so many idol dramas that you really think you're the heroine."
Cheng Cheng got angry when he saw his idiotic look like a dog that couldn't even spit out ivory.
The only feeling of gratitude was gone: "Get out of the car." Cheng Cheng pointed to the door.
Zhou Yue: "I'm your savior after all, so why can't I give you a ride?"
Cheng Cheng glanced at him sideways.
Zhou Yue immediately said, "I didn't drive."
Cheng Cheng raised his eyebrows.
Zhou Yue: "The driver is on vacation."
Reluctantly: "...Okay."
Cheng Cheng’s nanny car is a seven-seater commercial vehicle.
Cheng Cheng and Zhou Yue sat in the second row, and assistant Xiao Xia was in the passenger seat.
Xiao Xia looked very calm, but her action of using her black-screen mobile phone as a mirror to peek into the back row betrayed her.
Oh my God, my sister actually knows Zhou Yue, and it seems like they have a special relationship!
That’s the famous Mr. Zhou, handsome, rich, and young, and he was almost mistaken for a bodyguard!
Xiao Xia's home is closer to the airport, so she was the first to get off.
Cheng Cheng lay back on the chair with his arms folded and his eyes closed.
Zhou Yue suddenly said: "You should hire a bodyguard."
".......This is not something you should worry about." Cheng Cheng said.
Given Cheng Cheng's current popularity, the company should assign her a male assistant who can handle her daily work and also provide safety protection.
Su Qing had mentioned before that she wanted to interview a male assistant for Cheng Cheng. Recently, the two had a disagreement over a film role, so the matter was put on hold for the time being. But who knew that an accident would happen at the airport today.
Zhou Yue: "A dog bites Lü Dongbin."
Cheng Cheng: "Who are you scolding?"
Zhou Yue: "Whoever identifies with this will be cursed."
Cheng Cheng: "You!"
The driver in the front seat clenched his teeth to prevent himself from laughing.
If he hadn't known that the two people in the back seat were over fifty years old in total, he would have thought he was driving a school bus for elementary school students.
His daughter, who was in the last year of kindergarten, thought these words were childish.
As the car drove into the bustling commercial street, Zhou Yue began to look out the window, as if searching for something.
"Stop, I'll be back soon." Zhou Yue got out of the car and walked towards a pharmacy.
After a while, he came back with a transparent plastic bag.
He took out iodine and put it in front of him, saying, "I'll take care of it for you."
Cheng Cheng only then realized that his arm was scratched, with a long bruise and blood.
She was so focused on arguing with Zhou Yue that she didn't even notice the pain.
Zhou Yue lowered his eyes and patiently applied a cotton swab to the wound.
Cheng Cheng held his breath and tried to control his heartbeat.
I applied iodine to my elbows, so why are my fingertips numb?
When they arrived downstairs at Cheng Cheng's house, Zhou Yue suddenly said, "I think I left my tie at your house."
Cheng Cheng: “?”
The driver who was eating melon silently: "!"
"Let me go up with you to look for it." Zhou Yue said seriously.
"Why didn't I see it?" Cheng Cheng was suspicious.
"Maybe it fell into a corner. I lost it myself. I'll remember it if I look for it up there."
"That tie is quite expensive." Zhou Yue added.
Cheng Cheng: “…” After saying this, it seemed like we were feeling guilty if we didn’t let him go up.
_____
"You go look for it." Cheng Cheng turned on the light in the entrance of Lyon, left Zhou Yue alone and went into the bathroom to wash up.
Female celebrities need to wear makeup every day, and makeup is harmful to the skin, so she is used to removing makeup as soon as she gets home.
When Cheng Cheng came out after removing her makeup and putting on a facial mask, she saw Zhou Yue busy in the kitchen.
The kitchen in Cheng Cheng's house is rarely used, and the most produced food is instant noodles.
Zhou Yue was wearing a pink apron that she had found from somewhere, and was humming a little tune while frying eggs.
"Didn't you come here to look for a tie? How come you became a chef?" Cheng Cheng put his hands on his hips, feeling cold.
"Oh, I can't find my tie. I misremembered it. It should still be at home." Zhou Yue didn't care. "Are you hungry? Want something to eat?"
Cheng Cheng: “…”
After a few minutes, the empty stomach took over.
After eating a bowl of clear soup noodles with a fried egg, Cheng Cheng felt warm all over.
After finishing the meal, Cheng Cheng stood up to clear the dishes.
Turning on the faucet, she washed the dishes in a daze.
She felt that Zhou Yue was actively seeking peace.
But she was very confused and didn't know what to do.
Although it was his second time here, Zhou Yue felt like he was at home.
Looking at the open script lying on the sofa, he picked it up and read through it curiously.
I just took a look at it at first, and after reading for a while I felt that the script was interesting.
"Are you going to join the crew again?" He turned and asked Cheng Cheng in the kitchen.
Cheng Cheng put the washed dishes into the cupboard, took off her pink apron, and said, "I haven't decided whether to accept it yet."
"What do you think of this script?" Cheng Cheng asked casually.
A person's preferences may be biased, so it's good to refer to the opinions of more people.
"Not bad." Zhou Yue flipped the pages of the book and nodded.
"The storyline and worldview are quite novel. If it can be filmed according to the script, it will be great."
Cheng Cheng still recognized Zhou Yue's vision. After hearing his words, he became more determined to take on "A Li".
"But my agent doesn't want me to take it."
"Why?" Zhou Yue was puzzled.
"She said comic book adaptations tend to fail easily, and this show had a small investment and didn't make much money."
Zhou Yue looked at her expression and said, "Then...how about I make some additional investment?"
Cheng Cheng threw a pillow at him.
Zhou Yue took it without hesitation and put it behind his waist.
They didn't know when the two of them sat on the sofa, shoulder to shoulder.
"Take another look at this." Cheng Cheng found the script of the fantasy drama and showed it to him.
Zhou Yue frowned after reading only two pages: "This is too cliché. Orange Light games don't have such stupid plots anymore."
"But my agent asked me to take this drama, and I'm going to be the second female lead." Cheng Cheng held his chin and sighed.
"Then don't listen to her." Zhou Yue thought like a superior and couldn't bear to see Cheng Cheng being manipulated by others.
"Your agent has so much say? Does she have to make the final decision on everything?"
"She said the script for 'A Li' was too risky, with high costs and low returns. Xianxia dramas have a base of audiences, so it's easier to perform without any setbacks."
"In fact, it's not that she can't tell the difference between good and bad scripts." Zhou Yue said incisively, how could an agent with so many years of experience not have such a vision?
"She just doesn't want you to get out of control." Zhou Yue, as an outsider, saw it very clearly.
Agents who are too powerful don’t want their artists to have their own ideas.
"It's not necessarily that she doesn't know the potential of this script, but she's just unwilling to take the risk."
"Between a job full of unknowns and an ordinary job with stable income, she chose the latter." Zhou Yue shook his head with contempt.
"The unknown means a loss of control. This is the script, and it applies to you as well."
"This is her test of you. She wants to see if you are still as obedient as before."
Cheng Cheng: "Sister Qing has always been very kind to me. She brought me into the industry and discovered me..."
Cheng Cheng felt a little sentimental when she recalled that he had not given up on her even when she was at her lowest point.
"Do we need her to discover it? Anyone with eyes will choose you. If it's not her, it will be someone else." Zhou Yue said without thinking.
Cheng Cheng blushed at the compliment that came out of his mouth.
She noticed that Zhou Yue was looking down at her with a gentle gaze.
In the quiet room, two breathing sounds were clearly audible.
Zhou Yue's gaze seemed to carry an electric current, sweeping across Cheng Cheng's slender neck, collarbone, and then downwards...
Cheng Cheng felt numb all over.
She unconsciously raised her chin and leaned towards that side.
Zhou Yue couldn't control himself any longer and took off the pillow from his legs.
"Beep, beep—" the phone rang at an inopportune time.
Like a thunderclap, it split the two people who were about to kiss each other. They quickly separated, one meter apart, pretending nothing had happened.
Cheng Cheng licked his lips and picked up the phone.
The two people separated quickly.
Su Qing’s call.
"Really? Okay, no problem. When... um... then just send me the time and address... I'll be there on time."
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Cheng was overjoyed: "Sister Qing agreed to let me play "A Li." Her temper came and went quickly. Since Su Qing did not interfere with her work, she turned from an agent to a sister.
"It's just that Sister Qing said that she had verbally agreed to the Xianxia drama crew before, and she needs me to attend a dinner in a few days to apologize in person so that we can continue to cooperate in the future." Cheng Cheng said with ease.
The dilemma was resolved, and Cheng Cheng couldn't wait to open the script and study the role of Ali.
Cheng Cheng looked at Zhou Yue:.......
Zhou Yue looked at her:.......
Men only affect how quickly I can read the script.
Five minutes later, Zhou Yue was pushed out the door.
Immediately afterwards, a bag of garbage was thrown out the door.
"Bang——" the security door slammed shut mercilessly.
Zhou Yue looked down at the garbage in his hand.
His other hand brushed across his lips, his mind wandering to the "consultation fee" he had just requested.
After a while, he regained his stern expression and called the driver: "Go to the airport and drive the car back."
He made another call and ordered, "...Investigate this crew for me. I want all the information about the director and investors."
