Yu Yang kept talking, and even Shen Ci, who was so slow-witted, could tell that something was wrong.

Shen Ci pondered the hidden meaning of his words, as if he was implying himself?

But he didn't bully Yu Yang, did he? Shen Ci was confused.

Yu Yang stretched out his hand to confiscate Lu An's phone, but his hand dodged and he grabbed nothing.

He frowned in astonishment, somewhat dissatisfied: "Brother Lu, what are you doing..."

Lu An coldly and politely refused: "No, go and have a rest."

“That’s not part of your job description.”

Yu Yang felt anxious when he saw that Lu An showed no appreciation despite his earnest advice.

It’s okay for Shen Ci to play games, after all, he is lucky and has plenty of resources. Even if he is not a good actor, he will still have a good life.

But how could he bring Lu An along to play? Isn't this just harming others?

If Lu An wants to move up, he should ignore all temptations and devote 120% of his energy and time to studying acting.

If you degenerate for one more hour, your possibility of becoming a movie emperor in the future will be reduced. How can you curry favor with others in the future?

Yu Yang sighed and decided to appeal to his feelings and reason with him.

"Brother Lu, don't think I'm annoying. I'm doing this for your own good."

"It's so hard for ordinary people like us to get ahead. We finally got a great opportunity, so we can't let down our guard at all!"

"Let me make you some tea. Let's go back and look at the script."

Shen Ci wondered if even assistants could teach artists like mothers these days...

Ordinary people... Lu An is not ordinary, he is talented and hardworking, and he will definitely be a movie emperor in the future.

Even if he really slacked off, what did it have to do with his assistant? As long as the assistant could take care of his food, clothing, shelter and transportation, everything would be fine.

Shen Ci knew that Lu An hated trouble, and that endurance was his normal behavior. He would only speak up when he couldn't stand it anymore.

But Lu An was right, so why should he be offended?

Shen Ci finally understood how his uncle and his brothers felt when he was bullied. He wanted to just use a set of deadly meow punches to beat up those idiots.

He frowned and retorted, "Xiao An is just playing a game to relax. Do you want to bully him because he has no agent?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Yang suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Shen Ci angrily.

This little vase is clearly disturbing Lu An, how come it is so self-righteous!

When Lu An becomes famous in the future and he himself becomes successful by clinging to someone powerful, even ten Shen Ci would not dare to be so rude to him!

But Shen Ci is not easy to mess with at the moment, so Yu Yang doesn't dare to scold him directly, so he can only beat around the bush and say, "If I were a real bully, would I still advise Brother Lu to work hard? The real bully is someone who deliberately harms Brother Lu's future, and that person is not me anyway."

"..." Shen Ci rolled his eyes. He considered himself a very calm person, but today he was angry for the first time in a long time.

How to curse back? Shen Ci was very distressed.

"That's quite interesting. Do you want to bully my son because I'm not around?"

A lazy and cold voice sounded behind him. Yu Yang's expression froze and he turned around stiffly.

Min Shoubei leaned against the door frame with a gloomy expression, and it was unknown how much he had heard about what had just been said.

Yu Yang's ambiguous words were stuck in his throat, and he felt very embarrassed.

Why is Min Shoubei here...

The father and son said almost the same thing, but this time Yu Yang didn't dare to act weird anymore and shrank his shoulders in fear.

Yu Yang prayed that the boss didn't understand the hidden meaning, and nodded and said, "Director Min, you are here. Can I make you some tea?"

Min Shoubei: "Apologize to Xiaoci."

Yu Yang's eyes widened: "...Ah?"

He smiled apologetically: "I, I didn't do anything to Master Min, why should I apologize?"

Min Shoubei narrowed his eyes, too lazy to engage in a stupid argument with him, and repeated, "Apologize."

His eyes were so scary that Yu Yang had no choice but to look to Lu An for help, hoping that he could help him out.

Lu An has a good temper and seems to have a good relationship with Director Min, so it should be easy for him to say something nice, right?

He despised those who relied on their family members for support, but now he was asked to apologize. This was too humiliating...

Lu An looked calm and said, "Apologize. You made Xiaoci angry."

Shen Ci & Yu Yang: ???

Yu Yang looked at Lu An in astonishment, unable to believe that Lu An actually said that.

Under the silent pressure from the two big guys, Yu Yang reluctantly apologized to Xiao Huaping, but Shen Ci still couldn't figure it out.

When Min Shoubei emerged, Shen Ci could no longer keep up with the rhythm.

Yu Yanggan stood there, feeling the humiliation pressing on his back getting heavier, but he was still unwilling to give in.

He clearly wanted to be a noble person on Lu An's road to success, and also wanted to be Min Shoubei's rare confidant, how did things turn out like this...

What went wrong?

"Yu Yang."

Lu An stood up silently. He was about the same height as Yu Yang, but his aura easily overwhelmed him. His expression was unusually impatient and cold.

Yu Yang couldn't help but take a few steps back, but then he remembered that there was an even more terrifying Min Shoubei behind him, and he felt like crying but had no tears.

"If you feel that the work is not going well, we will terminate the cooperation."

"According to the contract, you have no right to point fingers."

"If you continue to slander my friend, I will sue you directly."

Lu An still spoke politely, but his tone was cold.

Yu Yang saw that Lu An was angry, and he couldn't help but get furious. How could his kindness be taken for granted?

But Yu Yang didn't dare to touch Lu An's head, and swallowed his anger and said: "...I will pay attention in the future! Then Brother Lu and Director Min, you should rest early, I'm leaving first."

Min Shoubei stared coldly at Yu Yang as he fled, frowning: "Xiaolu, your assistant?"

Lu An rubbed his temples and walked towards the door: "Well, when I first saw his resume, I thought he was a pretty honest person..."

"I won't bother you and your son anymore. Good night in advance."

He closed the door considerately.

For a moment, the room was silent, with only Shen Ci and his father staring at each other.

"Dad...is there anything else you want to say?" Shen Ci spoke timidly, returning to his usual frightened look.

Min Shoubei leaned against the wall and asked, "What did Tianlu Xiao say to you when he came a few days ago?"

Shen Ci: !!!

"I didn't say anything, I was just strolling around..." He didn't dare to look up at Min Shoubei, and began to count the suspects who leaked the news in his mind.

Min Shoubei: "Does he want to make it public?"

Shen Ci was choked, wondering if Min Shoubei had installed a listening device under the bed. After a while, he nodded weakly: "Hmm..."

Min Shoubei seemed a little annoyed. He crossed his arms, raised his head slightly, closed his eyes and sighed.

"Hold."

The dirty words come out clearly, calmly and steadily.

Shen Ci's eye twitched, and he held back the urge to complain, and decided to risk his life to ask Min Shoubei what he thought.

Before he could say anything, Min Shoubei decisively turned around and left, slamming the door shut, which scared Shen Ci.

"..." Shen Ci silently gave the door a middle finger.

After Min Shoubei mentioned this, Shen Ci remembered the trouble of making it public, which could not be solved smoothly by just changing his appearance.

Shen Ci brushed his hair with worry and got up to wash.

I originally wanted to be a star and stop being a useless person, but now I have to make my love life public... My future career in the entertainment industry is in jeopardy.

If the transformation is not successful, Lu Xiao may have to keep her at home and wait for him to come home for dinner every day.

It sounded boring. Shen Ci, who was brushing his teeth, had a resentful look in his eyes and spit out a few toothpaste bubbles.

But if I can’t become a star…it would be nice to inherit the family property and start a company, right?

A light bulb suddenly lit up on Shen Ci's forehead. It would be best if he could open a hot pot restaurant, which he could run for fun and also make it convenient for him to eat secretly!

A bright future gradually took shape in his mind. Shen Ci swallowed his saliva, took a quick shower and hurried back to the bedroom.

The Shen family started out as a food business, and Shen Bie is a master's degree holder in business from an M university, so they are a perfect match.

He immediately dialed Shen Bie's number, but the waiting time was unexpectedly long, and the call was picked up after more than ten seconds.

"Hello?" There was a low and cold voice on the other end of the phone. Shen Ci blinked in confusion.

He hesitated and asked, "Is it... Doctor Mo?"

"Well, it's so late, Xiaoci, is there anything I can say?" Mo Sheng's voice was low and cold, yet somewhat gentle.

Shen Ci thought to himself that he still wanted to ask, why was Dr. Mo with his brother at such a late hour...

After a long silence on the other end of the line, Mo Sheng asked in a low voice, "Xiaoci?"

Shen Ci suddenly came back to his senses: "Oh, that's nothing, is my brother here?"

"He's asleep."

Shen Ci's brain was stuck: "...Ah?"

No way, my brother stayed overnight at Dr. Mo’s house?

This, this, this…what’s going on?

Dr. Mo wouldn't just be smoking a cigarette after having sex with my brother...

The amount of information was so overwhelming that Shen Ci was confused. He tried to ask, "My brother, why would he..."

"Abie got drunk at a social event, and the hotel happened to be close to my home, so the secretary called me."

Doctor Mo's tone was calm and normal, no different from his usual serious demeanor when he was reading out prescriptions and dietary restrictions.

"So he was drunk..."

After getting drunk, my brother really didn't like going back to the Shen family, and he even went to his small apartment several times.

Shen Ci slapped his cerebellum hard, hammering away the yellow waste in his brain, thinking that he must have been infected with paranoia by his brother.

Shen Xiaoci, wake up!

How could Dr. Mo, such a cool and aloof brother, have such a relationship with such a violent and foul-mouthed older brother!

"Then could you please tell Dr. Mo that my brother should call me back tomorrow morning when he wakes up?"

Mo Sheng: "Okay, Xiaoci, go to bed early."

After a few pleasantries, the call was hung up.

Mo Sheng locked his phone. In the silence, he could vaguely hear the quiet, muffled snoring behind him.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is the dazzling city night view, and the warm yellow lights on in the house are a bit inconsistent with the coldness of the simple gray home decoration.

Of course, it was even more inappropriate for Shen Bie to be sleeping on the sofa with his legs spread out.

Mo Sheng pressed his temples helplessly and resigned himself to taking off his alcohol-stained clothes. The person being stripped was sleeping soundly and was particularly well-behaved and obedient.

He fell asleep in the hotel. Seeing him lying on the table, lonely and pitiful, like the last kid in kindergarten who had no one to pick him up after school, Mo Sheng felt sorry for him and took great pains to help him back home.

Now, Mo Sheng regretted it to death.

Shoes, socks, jackets, shirts, pants... Mo Sheng frowned and threw the clothes directly into the washing machine. The unpleasant smell of alcohol in the room finally dissipated a little.

Shen Bie was lying on the sofa with only his underwear on, revealing his lean body with smooth muscle lines. Mo Sheng raised an eyebrow, it was the first time he saw Shen Bie wearing so little.

He folded his chest and looked down at Shen Bie, and couldn't help but stretch out his slender fingers to gently poke the beautifully shaped abdominal muscles.

The muscles immediately trembled and contracted uncomfortably, and they felt limp due to weakness, and they felt good to poke.

Quite cute.

Mo Sheng smiled inexplicably happily, and the lingering coldness in his eyes completely dissipated.

He helped Shen Bie up, put one of his arms around his neck, and dragged Shen Bie towards the second bedroom with difficulty.

So heavy...

Mo Sheng complained silently in his heart.

Shen Bie is about the same height as him, but his muscles are real. His arms alone are much stronger than his. He probably got them from fighting.

Mo Sheng threw him on the bed and drank two bowls of sobering soup with great effort. He was exhausted.

Fortunately, Shen Bie is a good drinker. He falls asleep when he is drunk and doesn't talk nonsense in his sleep.

Mo Sheng covered him with a quilt, turned off the light, and went to sleep peacefully.

The next day, Shen Bie found out that his brother called him but he didn't answer the call. He immediately beat his chest and stamped his feet in regret.

He called hurriedly and it was Brother Zhang who answered the phone, saying that Shen Ci was filming a movie.

"Hey...Brother Sheng, you should have woken me up last night." Shen Bie poked the fried egg with a fork and sighed.

Mo Sheng finished drinking the milk and stood up to clean the table: "He's sleeping like a dead pig. I can't wake him up."

Shen Bie continued to sigh, took a bite of the fried egg, and said vaguely: "Brother Sheng, your cooking skills are pretty good. Will you compete with me next time?"

Mo Sheng ignored him and was cold and indifferent.

Shen Bie had long been accustomed to Mo Sheng's personality, so he didn't feel embarrassed and lowered his head to continue eating.

He also made a phone call to arrange for his assistant to pick him up for work, thinking that he would call Xiaoci again later.

As a result, the brothers' tacit understanding today dropped to zero.

When Shen Ci called back after finishing filming, his brother had gone to a meeting.

Shen Bie called back and found that his younger brother was discussing the script with Min Shoubei and Lu An.

Shen Ci called again and found out that his brother had a lunch date with a client and they were having a great time.

…

It was not until nine o'clock in the evening that Shen Bie finally heard the voice of his baby brother.

"My dear, we finally got through..." Shen Bie held his forehead with his hand.

Shen Ci was speechless: "Why is it so difficult to talk to you?"

Shen Bie: "We are destined to be together but not destined to be together. Tell me, what do you want to talk to your brother about?"

Shen Ci had forgotten most of the sudden idea that came to him last night, and could only say a few fragments.

"Do you want to open a restaurant or a finished product factory?" Shen Bie held his cell phone between his ear and shoulder, listening carefully, his pen swishing across the paper as he took notes.

Shen Ci shook his head: "Restaurant, right? I don't know the details."

Shen Bie: "My family has always been in the factory business. I only encountered starting a store when I was in school. But it's not a big deal. I'll ask my friends."

"You don't have to worry about it. I'll help you solve it. Just wait for the store to be taken over. The operations manager will also help you."

"Good boy, act well. I will prepare a great gift for you when you return home."

Shen Bie sounded arrogant, but Shen Ci knew that his brother, who was very strong in business management, was fully capable of doing so.

Shen Ci nodded and chatted about family matters with a smile. He soon hung up the phone, turned off the lights, and went to sleep.

Ten minutes later, Shen Ci suddenly opened his eyes and realized something was wrong.

His original intention of opening a shop was to avoid being bored, so he wanted to run it for fun and eat and drink there, right?

Why... in the end my brother took care of everything!

***

During lunch the next day, the crew received an urgent notice from Min Shoubei that they needed to shoot a mountain climbing scene three days later.

The reason was that three days later, it would rain heavily in the area and a rainbow was predicted to appear in the sky. Watching the rainbow together while camping in the mountains just met the requirements of the setting for a certain play.

To ensure safety, the crew had already begun arranging the set and making a mountain climbing plan.

Three days later, early in the morning, the actors who needed to take part in the performance began to climb the mountain in batches.

Shen Ci was assigned to the middle batch and followed Brother Zhang to the foot of the mountain at around nine in the morning, waiting for the staff and actors from the same batch to come and climb the mountain together.

Familiar actors and directors arrived quickly, followed by assistants and stagehands carrying a lot of things in large and small bags.

"Hey, my husband insisted on sending me all these things, saying that the conditions in the mountains are not good and it would be troublesome to carry them."

"Yeah, yeah, my girlfriend said the same thing. She said it's too humid and full of mosquitoes at night. She's really worried."

"My boyfriend also sent a lot of stuff after hearing about it a few days ago. Obviously, the assistant could buy them. What a waste of money."

“…”

The actors and actresses with families started chatting with the directors of the crew. Although it sounded like complaints, their intention to show off their affection was obvious, which made some single people in the crew so upset that they covered their ears and became selectively deaf.

Shen Ci seemed to be lost in thought, staring down at the mountaineering backpack in his arms.

He also told Lu Xiao that they were going to climb a mountain today, but the bag was full of things that Brother Zhang had prepared for him...

Shen Ci: I was a bit tortured to the point of QQ
