Innocent Boy
"Brother Chuan, is this 500,000 before or after tax?"
“… before tax.”
"Oh, then remember to pay my taxes."
"Don't worry, we have people dedicated to handling tax issues."
The two had a very pleasant conversation and seemed to be about to sign the contract immediately.
In the harmonious, friendly and hopeful atmosphere, Fu Shiyuan managed to stay rational: "I say, you two should stop messing around. I have invested a lot of money and I want to make money from this drama! Aren't you two being too frivolous?"
The two of them looked at him at the same time, with obvious questions in their eyes: "Where is the joke?"
Fu Shiyuan looked at Fu Shutao helplessly: "This is your first time down the mountain. You don't even know what acting is. How dare you agree to act?"
Fu Shutao blinked and answered as a matter of course: "Brother Chuan said I can do it! He is the director, I believe him."
Yan Baichuan nodded in agreement.
Fu Shiyuan was defeated by her naivety and turned to Yan Baichuan angrily: "Yan Ergou, look at my sister's innocent appearance, what can she perform?"
"That innocent look is what I want." Yan Baichuan snorted and laughed, "Besides, in my hands, there is no actor I can't train!"
"Just brag!" Fu Shiyuan rolled his eyes and complained, "This is your first time as a director. If you fail, your family will definitely ask you to go back and inherit the family business. Don't cry when your dream of being a director is shattered."
Yan Baichuan raised his eyebrows indifferently, "If you fail, go ask my sister for money! She is managing the company very well now, why should I cause trouble?"
"Will your parents agree?"
"Who cares? It's a different era now. You still have to choose between a man and a woman when choosing an heir. What a stubborn old man."
The two chatted about family matters, and Fu Shutao listened quietly without interrupting. When the two of them stopped, she raised the corners of her mouth slightly and whispered, "Yan Ergou?"
Yan Baichuan was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Fu Shiyuan expressionlessly, his voice as if gritted out from between his teeth, enunciating each word: "Fu! Si! Lang!"
Being called a nickname in front of his sister, Fu Shiyuan felt like his tail was stepped on, and he covered Yan Baichuan's mouth with his hand, "Don't shout nonsense, don't shout nonsense!"
Fu Shutao came to watch the fun and watched the two of them fighting with sparkling eyes, while she was thinking something completely different: [Hahaha, my fourth brother is quite a playboy. I don't know who gave him this nickname, it's so appropriate! 】
Fu Shiyuan wanted to cry but had no tears.
My image in my sister's heart has become even lower today!
It’s all Yan Baichuan’s fault!
Yan Baichuan was quick to change the subject, "When I was studying with the teacher's crew, I found that Li Mingxin had some problems and collected some evidence, but it was not enough to send him to prison."
Fu Shiyuan understood, "So that's why you called him to your crew?"
Yan Baichuan was quite annoyed: "Yes, I even asked someone to keep an eye on him. However, I didn't expect that he would take action before the crew officially started working. It was my negligence. Fortunately, you found out."
"What a coincidence. I also asked someone to keep an eye on him." Fu Shiyuan touched his chin. "I have already obtained the video footage from the hotel that day. It contains evidence of them sending someone upstairs. I also have the hospital's test report. Give me a copy of your evidence as well. I will combine them later and see if I can hammer him to death."
Yan Baichuan nodded. "I really don't know about Xu Xuefei's affairs. However, the video is enough for me to replace her. I will go talk to her later. Maybe she will reveal some information because she feels guilty."
Fu Shutao sipped her milk tea, looked left and right, and suddenly asked, "What about me? What can I do?"
It looks quite cute.
Fu Shiyuan touched her head and said, "Just drink your milk tea obediently."
Yan Baichuan suddenly asked Fu Shiyuan: "I wonder who sent it to your room?"
Fu Shiyuan was about to answer when Fu Shutao tugged at his sleeve and took over the conversation with a smile: "Brother Chuan, what will you do after you know who it is?"
Yan Baichuan frowned slightly, "Of course I will apologize to her, and then see if there is any way to compensate her."
Fu Shutao tilted her head and asked in confusion: "It's not your fault that the bad guys did evil, why are you apologizing?"
Fu Shiyuan patted Fu Shutao on the shoulder and said with a smile: "He couldn't bear to see someone get into trouble in his group! Don't be fooled by his appearance of a dandy boy, he actually has a good heart. I don't know how a business family like the Yan family could raise such a strange mutant."
Yan Baichuan retorted, "Oh, what about our Fourth Master Fu? He has been keeping his chastity for so many years for a broken up first love. I wonder which playboy is like you?"
Fu Shutao was shocked!
[My fourth brother turned out to be a pure and innocent boy!] So what are those rumors about him? 】
Fu Shiyuan was almost angry to death, and gnashed his teeth and said: "Tell me how you plan to compensate that girl! Otherwise, you can give her 2 million?"
Fu Shutao's eyes lit up.
[Fourth brother is a very good person!] 】
Yan Baichuan hesitated for a moment, "I don't have much money, give her a role."
"That's fine." Fu Shutao chuckled, "But I already have a role in this crew, so I'll have to wait for Brother Chuan's next movie!" Remember the master's teachings and seize the job opportunities firmly!
Yan Baichuan was stunned, then he laughed, "That unlucky guy is you."
Fu Shutao nodded.
[It wasn’t me. I almost died there. But it’s not Yan Baichuan’s fault. 】
Yan Baichuan's expression relaxed: "That's easy, I'll apologize to you! When this play makes money, I'll give you a big red envelope."
"Okay, okay!" Fu Shutao was already happy about the loan.
Fu Shiyuan taught her angrily: "Don't believe in the cakes men draw, they are hard to chew."
Fu Shutao shook her head calmly, "No, Fourth Brother said he would help me get revenge, and it will be realized soon!"
Fu Shiyuan was slightly stunned.
Fu Shutao raised her head and smiled harmlessly at Yan Baichuan: "I believe Brother Chuan will keep his promise."
[If you don’t give me a red envelope, I will go to Yan Baichuan’s sister to complain! 】
Yan Baichuan was amused by her, "I will definitely give it to you!"
Fu Shiyuan shuddered secretly.
Sister, your hypocritical appearance makes me a little afraid of women.

At lunch time, Fu Shutao refused to eat with her two brothers, and instead went to join the stunt doubles she had worked with in the morning. She ate while listening to their conversation, which was quite interesting.
Seeing that she was young and well-behaved, a middle-aged man curiously said, "You are so young and beautiful, why do you want to be a stand-in? This job is dangerous and not suitable for a girl like you."
Fu Shutao said as she shoveled rice into her mouth, "Every job needs someone to do it! But, people say that being a stunt double is dangerous, but where is the danger?" She had performed it in the morning and didn't feel it was dangerous at all.
"This is a martial arts drama, so it's okay. But if it's an explosion scene, that's really dangerous. If you don't do it right, people will die!"
"Yes, many stunt doubles risk their lives, and they may not get compensation if they get injured. I had a friend who fell from a three-story building during a high-rise scene. Luckily, he survived, but his leg was broken, so the crew gave him tens of thousands of yuan to send him away. Now his leg hasn't fully healed yet, so he can't take on any work."
Fu Shutao frowned, "It's so dangerous, but the salary is not high."
Several stunt doubles couldn't help but laugh. "For us, this is already considered high. If we go out to make money, we can earn even less."
"Then... no insurance?" Fu Shutao wondered. "The book says that if you buy insurance, you will get a lot of compensation."
"Well, I don't have the spare money to buy that."
“…”
Fu Shutao took a deep breath and threw the lunch box into the trash can. He couldn't help but take out his cell phone and called his senior brother. He told him about the situation here and asked, "Senior Brother, is it so dangerous over there too?"
The eldest brother opened his mouth several times before he managed to speak: "Yes, life down the mountain is so cruel. You have to get used to it slowly."
"I've adapted well, but I just can't figure it out." Fu Shutao looked up at the set and murmured, "It shouldn't be like this."
There was a sigh from the other end of the line.
Fu Shutao put away his emotions and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Senior Brother, wait for me to find a solution!"
When hanging up the phone, the eldest brother was still confused. Want to find a solution? What solution?
On the other side, Fu Shiyuan and Yan Baichuan sat together and put together the clues to the point where they could call the police.
Fu Shiyuan asked hesitantly, "On the first day of filming, someone from the crew was arrested by the police. Isn't that unlucky?"
Yan Baichuan frowned and looked at him, "Why are you so superstitious! I'll call the police."
Fu Shiyuan suddenly remembered what Fu Shutao said: "Superstition and favoring boys over girls will be struck by lightning."
He sighed, "You will definitely not be struck by lightning."
Although Yan Baichuan didn't understand, he still raised his eyebrows confidently: "Of course not, why would you chop me?"
The police received the report and arrived at the set quickly.
Fu Shutao took a glance and saw that Li Mingxin didn't know what was going on and was curiously following the crowd to join in the fun. Xu Xuefei was scolding her assistant with a dark face, as if she was not satisfied with the coffee bought for her and splashed it on her assistant's hand.
When Li Mingxin and Xu Xuefei were caught by the police, their faces changed drastically, but they didn't know what had been exposed and their eyes were filled with confusion.
Fu Shutao chuckled, her voice full of undisguised disgust: "You deserve it."
Those watching the fun were all whispering, and this sentence, spoken in a clear and emotional voice, seemed particularly abrupt.
The two looked at each other, and then looked at Fu Shutao together, and asked angrily: "Is it you?"
Fu Shutao nodded and smiled. "When you were plotting against me, you didn't expect this day to come, right? No, that's not right... You are so arrogant and you don't hide it. I guess you must have wanted to go to jail a long time ago."
Xu Xuefei's face was gloomy. If she was taken away by the police, her career would be over. She said anxiously, "Fu Shutao, it wasn't me. Li Mingxin gave you the medicine and he gave you the water. I was just... I was threatened by him and helped him send you up."
Fu Shutao laughed, "You only participated in this part?"
"Yes, that's the only link."
Fu Shutao's eyes turned cold, "Then how come you know the whole thing so clearly?"
Xu Xuefei was speechless and put all the blame on Li Mingxin. "Li Mingxin thought that if he went up there alone with a girl, others would notice him, but I could cover him up. He was afraid that I wouldn't help, so he told me his plan. I was really harmed by him."
Li Mingxin's eyes were red with anger. "Xu Xuefei, stop slandering me. It was obviously you who thought she was pretty and had the attention of Fourth Young Master Fu, and you were afraid that she would threaten your position as the second female lead, so you asked me to cooperate with you."
Seeing Xu Xuefei's face becoming increasingly stiff, he was smug for a moment and began to speak without thinking: "Do you think you can get away with putting the blame on me? You've been a pimp in various small crews before, and although those women either took the benefits or were too weak to report to the police, don't think you can't find out!"
"Li Mingxin!" Xu Xuefei was almost irritated by this idiot. The previous events might not have been dug up, but when he said this, it became a big problem.
Fu Shiyuan and Yan Baichuan looked at each other. Fu Shutao angered the two men and let them fight among themselves. As expected, the connection paid off and some evidence was obtained!
Fu Shutao secretly rubbed his fingers and thought viciously in his heart: [These two scumbags! If my sword wasn’t in the car, I would have really wanted to chop them up first! 】
When Fu Shiyuan heard this, he was very glad that he stopped the sword.
How dare you think of beating someone in front of the police!
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Li Mingxin pointed the finger at him.
