Chapter 037

Fang Yue couldn't believe it. Was he crazy? To supervise and manage all the investments in film and television projects, at least a manager-level employee was needed. How could they arrange an intern?

The young lady has a love affair with men, but is she also a girlfriend with women?

But Wu Liao and Qiao Yan both tactfully withdrew. They were not surprised at the arrangement at all. Instead, they felt sorry that they failed to successfully bring Yan Xi into their department.

Fang Yue: “…”

I always feel that this world is not normal.

Jiang Tao has received the first remittance and has begun preparing for the filming, including casting, arranging filming locations, and organizing a filming team. Everything has to be put on the agenda. Similarly, Yan Xi's work as a producer has also to begin.

Fang Yue was helpless. Since the eldest lady had said so, the worker could only do as she said.

Zhou Qingyu also had an announcement to shoot an endorsement advertisement for M company, so she did not stay in Xingyao for too long.

Yan Xi also had to start working. Jiang Tao and Xiao Yu brought most of the "Bottom Line" documents. Holding these documents, Yan Xi went to report to the project department.

On the way to the project department, Yan Xi met Shen Xinghe.

Yan Xi was busy talking to Zhou Qingyu about joining the company and had no time to say hello to him. When she saw Shen Xinghe, she took the initiative to wave.

"Director Jiang and Editor Xiao have left, why are you still here? Are you lost?" Yan Xi looked around, "I don't come to Xingyao often, I remember the elevator is at..."

Shen Xinghe saw that Yan Xi was having a hard time holding a box of documents, so he helped her hold the box and said, "I'm here to wait for you."

"wait for me?"

Yan Xi didn’t quite understand.

Shen Xinghe lowered his eyes and looked at Yan Xi. His tone was very sincere, "Thank you."

Others couldn't understand this incoherent thank you, but Yan Xi did.

She smiled brightly, "You got the role yourself. I didn't help you. You deserve this male lead."

If she had to say, Yan Xi felt that she only let Zhou Qingyu participate in the investment, and as long as the investor did not interfere with the pre-selection, the male lead would definitely be Shen Xinghe.

Hard-working and outstanding people should come to the fore. This world should still be fair.

"I'm going to report to the project department! We'll see each other often in the future!" Yan Xi blinked at Shen Xinghe and took the box full of documents from him, "You have to work hard too!"

Yan Xi walked towards the project department.

Shen Xinghe looked at Yan Xi's back, his eyes covered with mist. He looked at her for a long time, and finally lowered his head and said softly, "Well, I will try my best."

After entering the project department, Yan Xi plunged into the intense work.

Fang Yue is a responsible boss. Even though she may be a little infatuated occasionally, she is very serious about her work. Considering that Yan Xi has never been involved in the work of a producer, she arranged an experienced manager to guide Yan Xi.

Yan Xi got the hang of it quickly, and Jiang Tao is a down-to-earth person who has already coordinated most of the work of "Bottom Line", so it is not difficult for Yan Xi to be the producer.

——

Shen Xinghe walked out of the Xingyao Gate.

At the entrance of Xingyao Building, he met Zhou Qingyu's assistant Xiao Meng.

Xiao Meng was wearing a plaid sun protection suit and a duckbill cap. When she saw Shen Xinghe coming out, she trotted over to him.

"Hello, Mr. Shen. I'm Xiao Meng, the assistant of Sister Qingyu! Sister Qingyu said that your mother is seriously ill and wants to be transferred to Haicheng for treatment. Excuse me, what is her illness? Zhou knows a lot of doctors, and we can help her arrange the best hospital!"

Shen Xinghe hesitated, "Will it be too troublesome?"

Zhou Qingyu just happened to announce that the nanny car that came to pick her up had stopped at the entrance of Xingyao Building.

She walked past Shen Xinghe, put on D's sunglasses, and glanced at Shen Xinghe, "What's the trouble? Just be nice to Yan Xi, and it won't be a problem."

Shen Xinghe was confused:?

Xiao Meng quickly explained, "Sister Qingyu means that if you can just focus on filming, there won't be any trouble! We do this so that you don't have to worry about the consequences!"

Then, Xiao Meng tugged at the corner of Zhou Qingyu's clothes and lowered her voice, "Sister Qingyu, Yan Xi must not have confessed her feelings to Shen Xinghe yet. You can't break this layer of window paper so quickly, or the girl will be embarrassed!"

Zhou Qingyu thought about it. Yan Xi had always liked paper men. She finally found someone she liked, and he happened to be her roommate's boyfriend. She must be very nervous facing a new relationship now.

Xiao Meng was right. It would be better for her not to expose the truth for now.

The nanny car stopped beside Zhou Qingyu. Zhou Qingyu casually took a lizard skin bag from the back seat and threw it to Xiao Meng. "This is a product from the M family. I give it to you. Take good care of Shen Xinghe's mother."

Xiao Meng was overjoyed, this lizard skin is a new product from M, even if it is second-hand it can be sold for nearly 100,000!

Xiao Meng: "Thank you, Sister Qingyu~ I will do my best~"

Jiang Tao and Xiao Yu were busy with the preparations for "Bottom Line". Shen Xinghe had a rare few days off. With the help of Xiao Meng, he took his mother to Haicheng and admitted her to Zhou's private hospital.

The hospital director personally received Shen's mother, and more than a dozen experts from the hospital met and gave a treatment plan. This was originally a very complicated matter, but now it has become extremely simple.

Living in the hospital, Shen's mother was very worried, "Xinghe, I just heard from the nurse that this is a private hospital, and it costs tens of thousands to stay a day. Such an expensive hospital must be very expensive, I can live in an ordinary hospital..."

"It's okay, mother," Shen Xinghe comforted her mother, "This is the investor's hospital. She helped me because she wanted me to have a good time filming."

"Mom, I've received the role of the male lead and will be joining the filming in a few days."

Shen's mother said excitedly, "You got the male lead? That's great, your investors are good people! Xinghe, they have helped us so much, you must act well and repay them!"

Shen Xinghe nodded firmly, "I will."

"Let's Travel Together" is a variety show with both live and recorded broadcast modes. The first episode was broadcast on the evening when the trip to Country F ended, and the ratings were very good. The travel methods of the four groups of guests aroused a lot of discussion among the audience, and the guests who participated in the show also received some benefits.

Zhou Qingyu is the one who gained the most fans. Through "Travel", the audience got to know a proud yet generous young lady. Many people envied her friendship with Yan Xi, which greatly increased Zhou Qingyu's popularity.

Ye Luoyi made a mistake in the first episode of the show because of the winery's water slide. Fortunately, she knelt down and admitted her mistake in time, which reduced the ridicule from netizens.

As the third star in the show, Qin Li has gained quite a few fans. As soon as he returned to China, he received advertising invitations to endorse many sports brands.

The N family has been investigating Qin Li. Previously, they felt that Qin Li was only a second-tier artist and not well-known enough, so they had not yet made a decision. This time Qin Li took Kang Boyo to a variety show, and the two of them had the feeling of athletic teenagers during their trip, which made the N family determined.

Qin Li cherishes this opportunity very much. In addition to the value of the endorsement itself, Ye Luoyi is also the spokesperson for N companies, and Qin Li can shoot commercials with Ye Luoyi.

In N's studio, Qin Li saw Ye Luoyi.

Although it was only a few days before the trip to Country F, Qin Li felt like he hadn't seen Ye Luoyi for a long time. The pleasant smell on her body was like the addictive opium, which made Qin Li unconsciously approach her.

Ye Luoyi, wearing a sunny pink sportswear, greeted the staff softly.

When she walked in front of Qin Li, she smiled sweetly, "Brother Qin, we meet again~"

Qin Li's heart seemed to skip a beat, "Long time no see."

As spokespersons for many brands, it is inevitable that there will be some intimate shots when the two of them shoot an advertisement together. Under the camera, everyone knows that this is a photo shoot and they just need to pretend.

But when it comes to the actual shooting, Qin Li still feels nervous.

As he got closer to Ye Luoyi, her fragrance became more and more charming, quickly invading Qin Li's senses. While hugging Ye Luoyi, Qin Li suddenly felt a soft touch on his chest.

He felt his throat dry and swallowed.

Ye Luoyi suddenly reached out and gently touched Qin Li's Adam's apple, her hot breath filling her ears, "Brother Qin, your Adam's apple is so sexy~"

His lower abdomen instantly tightened, and Qin Li felt a fire burning in his abdomen.

His eyes fell on Ye Luoyi's innocent face. He felt that her lips painted with red bean paste powder were so juicy and tempting, like a strawberry cake in spring, which made people unable to resist tasting it.

It was obviously a simple commercial shoot, but Qin Li felt it was difficult for the first time. He tensed himself every minute and every second to avoid any excessive actions in front of the camera. But when the commercial was coming to an end, he put his hand on Ye Luoyi's waist, but he was reluctant to let go.

I hope that the time I spend with her can go slower, even slower.

Three hours later, the commercial shoot was completed.

Qin Li reluctantly let go of the hand that was holding Ye Luoyi, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his back.

"Brother Qin, there's a phone call."

The assistant handed Qin Li's cell phone.

During the filming, Qin Li's phone rang many times. In order not to affect the filming, Qin Li did not answer it. It was not until the filming was over that the assistant had time to hand the phone to him.

The moment Qin Li took the phone, his hand suddenly slipped. The phone fell to the ground, the display was still on, and the screen saver was a photo of Ye Luoyi.

Ye Luoyi came back to find Qin Li and just happened to help him pick up the phone on the ground and saw the photo on the screensaver.

At that moment, Qin Li forgot to breathe.

Ye Luoyi calmly returned the phone to Qin Li, as if she hadn't seen anything.

"Brother Qin, are you free tonight? We haven't gotten together since returning to China. Let's have dinner together tonight!"

Qin Li's heart was beating fast and he was about to agree.

“Yiyi!”

A man's voice came from behind. The two looked in the direction of the voice and saw Pei Yubai, wearing a neat suit, coming to Ye Luoyi's side.

He looked at her softly and tenderly, "Is the shoot over? I've booked your favorite restaurant, now's a good time to go over there."

"Yubai," Ye Luoyi didn't expect Pei Yubai to come at this time, and felt a little embarrassed, "I just made an appointment with Brother Qin to have dinner together..."

Pei Yubai's gaze finally fell on Qin Li. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but the moment he looked at Qin Li, he felt a strong hostility in Qin Li's eyes, as if... he was coveting his prey.

Pei Yubai suddenly reached out his hand out of strong possessiveness and firmly grasped Ye Luoyi's waist. "Didn't we agree to talk about the script tonight? You don't have time tonight."

Ye Luoyi's face turned red.

Humans all have a minimum moral bottom line. Even if you like a girl, when you see that she has a partner, you will hide your feelings even if you like her.

But if this emotion reaches a certain intensity, the so-called moral bottom line no longer exists.

Before today, Ye Luoyi didn't dare to let Qin Li and Pei Yubai meet, but when she saw Qin Li's phone screensaver just now, Ye Luoyi felt relieved.

She likes men to compete for her and likes to see them jealous of her. When the emotional intensity is strong enough, jealousy will not put them off, but will increase their liking for her.

Who doesn't like to be liked by others? Ye Luoyi has always enjoyed this feeling.

So even if Pei Yubai hugged his waist in front of Qin Li and even bent down to kiss her forehead, Ye Luoyi just blushed shyly and did not push him away.

In front of him, Qin Li clenched his fists, jealous to the point of going crazy.

Looking at Pei Yubai's back as he walked away holding Ye Luoyi in his arms, Qin Li's gaze became more vicious. He twisted his wrist and threw the phone to the ground.

——

When he returned home, Qin Li's anger still hadn't disappeared.

Xia Momo walked out of the room wearing a suspender nightgown.

She was holding a medical record in her hand. When she saw Qin Li, she smiled and said, "Brother Qin, you are finally back. I..."

Before he could finish his words, Qin Li picked up Xia Momo, kicked the door open and threw her on the bed.

Qin Li took off the black tie around his neck and quickly tied Xia Momo's hands. No matter how she struggled, it was useless.

"Brother Qin, it's not possible today... it's not possible today..."

The crazy kiss left red marks all over Xia Momo's fair skin.

Her deer-like eyes were filled with fear, and Qin Li's lustful look was reflected in them.

Qin Li likes Xia Momo’s eyes the most, which are exactly the same as Ye Luoyi’s.

With five fingers, he pinched the girl's softness. Xia Momo moaned, "Brother Qin! Not today! Really not today! I'm pregnant!"

Qin Li froze for a moment.

He was very annoyed and let go of her hand. "How come you are pregnant? Didn't you take the medicine?"

Xia Momo sat up, holding her pajamas that had been torn into half, "You took it, but you didn't use a condom, and then took the pill afterwards. The success rate of contraception is not high..."

Qin Li's breathing became heavier. He unbuttoned his shirt at the collar, but his chest still felt stuffy.

He sat on the edge of the bed and lit a cigarette, hoping the nicotine would calm him down.

Xia Momo opened her mouth and wanted to say that smoking was bad for children, but she didn't say it in the end.

After smoking a cigarette, Qin Li finally calmed down and his jealousy towards Pei Yubai also faded a lot.

He asked, "How many months?"

Xia Momo whispered, "Three months."

Xia Momo is very thin. She doesn't look pregnant even after three months of pregnancy. She still looks small with a flat belly.

Three months ago...

Qin Li remembered that after the filming, he checked Weibo and saw that Ye Luoyi and Pei Yubai were on a lifestyle variety show. The barrage was full of CP fans' joy. He was very annoyed and held Xia Momo down in the RV without taking any safety measures.

Thinking of this, Qin Li became even more annoyed.

The only person he likes is Ye Luoyi.

He can have other women, but he cannot have children with her, otherwise how can he be with Ye Luoyi in the future?

"Knock it off." Qin Li extinguished the cigarette in his hand.

Xia Momo's eyes widened, "This is our child!"

"I'm in the rising stage of my career now. Do you think I can have a child?" Qin Li grabbed Xia Momo's round shoulders, his eyes heavy, "Momo, we are still young, we can have children. Be good, this child is not coming at the right time, let's abort it."

After comforting Xia Momo, Qin Li went to the balcony and received another call from his agent.

Everything that happened today has made Qin Li very upset. The flowerbed on the balcony is full of cigarette butts, and nicotine can't calm his mind.

The news brought by the broker gave Qin Li even more headaches.

"There's news from Strawberry.com that Jiang Tao rejected their investment and accepted Xingyao's investment."

"Star Glory?"

Qin Li crushed the cigarette box in his hand, "Zhou Qingyu?"

"Yes, and Jiang Tao has already chosen the male lead, his name is Shen Xinghe, a newcomer, no one has ever heard of him."

Qin Li smashed the cigarette box to the ground.

Why do these two things make him so unhappy?

He had gone to great lengths to set up a trap, causing Jiang Tao to be in debt and only be able to sign a contract with Strawberry.com in the short term. Why wouldn't Zhou Qingyu do anything else but intercept him at this time?!

“What now?” the agent asked.

"Buy some navy soldiers and get him!" Qin Li's face was gloomy. "He's just a new guy. I want to see if he can handle this male lead!"

Haicheng outdoor shooting scene

The filming of "Bottom Line" has been on track. Jiang Tao is careless in life, but very efficient in filming. He is a director with a good reputation in the industry. In addition, he vowed that the investors would not interfere this time, so many old actors are willing to come back and continue to act in his dramas.

The main cast has been confirmed, and today's task is to take makeup photos.

Normally, makeup photos can be taken in the studio, but this set of photos will also be posted on Weibo for promotion, so Jiang Tao chose to shoot outdoors to make the makeup photos more story-telling.

Yan Xi is the supervisor and also has to come to the site to supervise and make sure that every penny of funds allocated by Xingyao to "Bottom Line" is used properly.

When she arrived at the scene, the male protagonist Shen Xinghe had already changed into his first outfit, which was his first identity, that of a policeman.

He was wearing a white uniform shirt, and to prevent it from moving out of place, the stylist paired it with a black drawstring, which highlighted his tight lines.

The weather was hot, so Shen Xinghe rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong and sturdy forearms. The blue veins on his arms were more obvious against his tanned skin.

When Yan Xi saw this scene, she gasped.

She was still relatively calm, but the little light ball in her head had gone crazy with excitement.

【Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! 】

[Host, I am completely gone! 】

【Brother Xinghe is so handsome! 】

[Help! Why didn’t I realize he was so handsome before! I want to be his fan! I want to join his fan club! I want to give birth to his kids! ]

Yan Xi: “…”

"As an artificial intelligence, could you be more reserved?"

【cannot!】

The system said righteously: [I thought Brother Xinghe was only 9 points before, but after dressing up, he is 10 points~]

[And your eyes are also shining! 】

[Don't think I didn't see it, I'm very smart! ]

Yan Xi was embarrassed, but there was nothing she could do. She was also shocked when she saw Shen Xinghe just now.

She remembered the last time she was amazed by a man was when she first saw Zhou Yanci five years ago.

Zhou Qingyu is known as the goddess of the entertainment industry. Zhou Yanci's appearance is also not bad, so he is more than qualified to enter the entertainment industry.

However, because Zhou Qingyu disliked Zhou Yanci, Yan Xi also disliked Zhou Yanci. In addition, Zhou Yanci was already working at Zhou Group at that time and had a bureaucratic air, so Yan Xi naturally felt that he was not that handsome.

And this time seeing Shen Xinghe once again awakened the handsome DNA in Yan Xi's heart.

In addition to Yan Xi and the system, several little girls around were also screaming secretly.

Yan Xi noticed their surroundings and found out that they were fans of the heroine.

The female lead is Fu Shiyu, the most popular actress in the crew. She has played the third female role in a fairy tale drama before and her acting skills are also good.

Fu Shiyu is barely a third-tier celebrity in the entertainment industry, and her fans are relatively calm, not as enthusiastic as traffic fans. When they see handsome guys, they will also be a little crazy, and several fans took photos of Shen Xinghe and discussed whether to open a website.

"You are climbing the wall! Are you worthy of your sister?"

"But the little brother is so handsome! Look at his arms and muscles!"

"Is he a newcomer? I haven't seen him before! I guess if we don't open one, fans will open his own website soon!"

"It's pointless to open his website now, since no one knows him. Why not post it on the super topic of "Bottom Line" so that we can share the good stuff together!"

She did what she said. After photoshopping Fu Shiyu's photo and sharing it with her colleagues, she photoshopped two photos of Shen Xinghe, created a small account, and posted it on the super topic of "Bottom Line".

At this time, the super topic of "Bottom Line" had no traffic. After all, it was an original script, and except for some fans of the actors, no one spoke.

But when Shen Xinghe's photo was posted, everyone was still a little excited.

[Fuck! Is this the male lead? ]

[So handsome that my nose is bleeding! ]

[Reinforcements... Haha! Director Jiang is really knowledgeable! ]

[Is that his chest muscles under the straps? He also has abdominal muscles! With such a good figure and face, he is saved in the entertainment industry! ]

[Just based on her looks and figure, my expectations for "Bottom Line" are 100%! ]

Currently, Shen Xinghe and "Bottom Line" are not very popular, mainly because they have not been promoted yet.

Promotion and marketing also cost money, and all of this is included in the investment budget. Yan Xi has to calculate carefully to make sure every penny is spent wisely.

The on-site makeup photo shoot continued, and Yan Xi looked at the pictures in front of the computer.

Jiang Tao’s shots are very storytelling. Even though filming hasn’t started yet, Yan Xi can seem to feel the character’s emotions just by looking at the makeup photos he took.

These are inseparable from the actors' acting skills, the director's skills, and the character modeling.

Yan Xi thought about it in her mind. Although "Bottom Line" may seem like a small project, as a suspense drama with only 12 episodes, except for the lack of traffic, the director, screenwriter, production team, and investment are all high-end.

If 20 million plus Qin Li's starring role were enough to make "The Bottom Line" a hit before, Yan Xi couldn't imagine what the effect would be now that "The Bottom Line" has been optimized.

Of course, good wine needs no bush. Jiang Tao can make "Bottom Line" the best it can be, so she, as the producer, cannot lose. She has to find a way to promote it so that everyone can see "Bottom Line".

While they were thinking about how to promote the film, Wu Liao hurried to the set.

He was wearing large black sunglasses, his face was a little dark, and he looked very unhappy.

Jiang Tao was filming, Wu Liao did not disturb him, but walked to Yan Xi's side.

He took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of eyes with dark circles.

"Something happened," Wu Liao lowered his voice, "Shen Xinghe and "The Bottom Line" were both blacklisted and became a hot topic."
