“Chairman, this is last month's financial statement.” A tall and beautiful woman set the document down on the man's desk. Her voice was soft and sweet, and she spoke as if she were playing coquettish to others, sweet and sticky.

“Mn. You can go now.” A deep magnetic voice sounded. Sitting behind the large desk was a man who was currently buried in work. He was tall—nearly 190 cm—handsome, and clad in a grey-blue high set suit and looked very charming with a serious look. It's just a little dark.

The woman bit her lips and her slender fingers, painted with delicate Lancome nail polish, lightly brushed the back of the man's dark hand. She directed inviting, seductive eyes at him.

“Is there anything else?” The man didn't seem to feel the provocative teasing at all, nor did he notice the delicate appearance of the woman in front of him. The thick eyebrows that were shaded by his sideburns were wrinkled, and he cast a questioning gaze.

“No, nothing.” The secretary stomped her foot and retreated unwillingly. The rare opportunity was lost just like this, so many people dream of being the richest man's lover.

Wei Shimo pinched his brow and leaned back in his chair. Recentlys, he has not been able to get a good night's sleep. Every day, as soon as he fell asleep, he would dream. However, when he woke up, he couldn't remember the contents of the dream at all. There was only a feeling of loss and depression in his chest, as if he had lost something very important. But how is that possible?

He is currently very successful in his career, with money that he would never run out of in his whole life. His regret in his youth has been fulfilled with Shu Ning's return, and he has an adorable son.

He has everything that others may not get in a lifetime, but the feeling is extremely strong and persistent. He was a little irritable, yanking at his tie and closing his eyes.

“What the hell are you, let go!” “I'm sorry, the chairman won't see anyone without an appointment.”

Wei Shimo's nap was interrupted by a quarrel. He couldn't help but frown, opening the office door with a dark expression.

“Mo!” As soon as Shu Ning saw Wei Shimo's figure, he pushed away the secretary standing in his way, and angrily marched over to Wei Shimo and complained, “Your secretary is so annoying, he wouldn't let me pass even when I came to see you.”

His tone was intimate and natural, making it clear that he and Wei Shimo knew each other very well and suggesting that the secretaries didn't take him seriously.

“He's only doing his job.” Wei Shimo's face was a little hopeful. Shu Ning is the person that he'd wronged before. His tolerance for Shu Ning was greater than others. “Ah Ning, did you come here for something?”

Shu Ning had been spoiled too much by Wei Shimo. Seeing that the latter didn't blame the secretary who didn't respect him and defending him instead, he was displeased. However, he remembered that he still needed Wei Shimo's help, so he suppressed his anger.

“Yeah. Let's go and talk in your office.”

"Alright."

After their conversation, Shu Ning gave the secretary a gleeful look, and held Wei Shimo's arm intimately. Wei Shimo's eyebrows scrunched, but in the end, he didn't remove Shu Ning's hand.

“What the hell!” A young male secretary, who was also the one who had just blocked Shu Ning, slapped the papers down angrily on the table. “Did you guys see that proud face he made? Does he think the company is his home? That he can come and go as he pleases?”

“Alright, alright, it's not like this is the first time. Seriously, why do you have to trouble him every time.” A woman in her forties wearing a long black dress patted him on the shoulder comfortingly.

“I can't stand him. He is neither an employee nor a business partner, yet he wants to find Boss just by opening his mouth. Who gave him such a big face?"

“The Chairman did.” The girl next to him replied with a shrug.

It's no secret between the secretaries that Shu Ning is now living in Wei Shimo's house.

The man gave a cold snort and shut his mouth. They could all see that their boss is very good to the little star and has invested a lot of money to support his acting career.

Moreover, that star's already moved into the Boss' residence, which is practically telling the whole world the relationship between them. A smart person will definitely not go against Shu Ning any more.

For the man to be able to be one of Wei Shimo's capable secretaries, he's definitely perceptive and his IQ is absolutely online. Nevertheless, he doesn't like Shu Ning and thinks he is fake from head to toe.

He's already 30 years old, but he's still acting like a teenager. Furthermore, he pouts when he's angry. He pouts! It's easy to find fault with him. Every time Shu Ning opens his mouth to speak, the tone of his voice is so sweet that it's unbearable. He(the secretary) would like to use an iron to help him(SN) straighten his tongue out and then let him speak.

Anyway, he's held him up so many times and the boss hasn't reprimanded him for doing so, nor did he ever order him to give this little star special privileges. Humph, it might be a certain someone getting ahead of themselves. In the end when his plans fall through, let's see who will be the joke.

In the office, Wei Shimo poured Shu Ning a cup of tea and asked gently, “Ah Ning, what do you want to discuss?”

Shu Ning took a sip and put the tea aside. After 13 years abroad, he preferred to drink coffee and has told Wei Shimo several times. But it was like Wei Shimo didn't hear him at all, he always poured tea for him.

“It's like this. The company has a movie that wants me to be the main character, but there is still a shortage of funds. I want to ask if you can invest.” After Zhou Xiran was crushed by him, Shu Ning moved to the company where Zhou Xiran had been signed to at the time, enjoying the resources that used to belong to Zhou Xiran with ease.

That company is not a big player in the industry. With Wei Shimo's support, Shu Ning can naturally sign with a better one. However, in his opinion, he would rather be 'a chicken's head than a phoenix's tail'. (t/n: to prefer to be a big fish in a small pond rather than a small fish in a big pond)

“Okay. I'll tell the finance department to get in touch later.” Wei Shimo nodded and agreed without hesitation, that money was just a number to him. Besides, he and Shu Ning have known each other for more than ten years. Li Feng was once his best friend, and he would not be stingy where he could help.

Shu Ning looked at Wei Shimo's deep and handsome face. His lips curved, his smile was sweet, and his eyes were filled with unspeakable glee in his eyes.

“Xiran, over here!” As soon as Gu Yunxi got out of the car, he heard a familiar voice. He looked up and his eyes widened in surprise.

Cao Yu trotted over, took the box beside Gu Yunxi, wiped off the sweat on his face and said with a smile, “You've finally come, I've been waiting for you for a whole hour.” His face was tanned, which shows he did stay under the sun for a long time.

Gu Yunxi picked up the rest of the luggage and asked, “Yu-ge, why are you here?” Seeing Cao Yu, Gu Yunxi guessed the reason why he would appear here, but he still expressed his doubts appropriately.

“Last time when I listened to your analysis, I immediately felt that Director Gu's movie was indeed good. I went back to study it and applied for a role. And hey, I was lucky enough to be selected. Haha” He grabbed Gu Yunxi's shoulder with his empty hand and smiled, “We brothers are going to be acting together again. Doesn't that make you happy? “

Gu Yunxi nodded, agreeing, “Of course.” Cao Yu was the only friend of the original self. Zhou Xiran had thought of working with him again before.

He was optimistic about Gu Xin's directing skills. Thus when he mentioned the movie in front of Cao Yu, he had held the notion of suggesting he participated in it as well. Yet he couldn't be upfront about it. After all, Cao Yu and his circumstances are different. He hasn't reached the point where he had to rely on gay films to turn over. Unexpectedly, Cao Yu really did put all 'his eggs in one basket' and joined. (t/n: to stake all on one throw like gambling I guess?)

The two chatted as they walked. After putting down the luggage, they washed their faces. Cao Yu leaned towards Gu Yunxi and wagged his eyebrows mischievously, “Do you want to know who I play? Beg me, and I will tell you.”

Gu Yunxi slapped him away, teasing him, “With your bear-like figure, who else can you play besides a general?”

“Hehe. Look, you're jealous.” Cao Yu proudly puffed out his chest, lifted his T-shirt and patted his enviable eight-pack abdominal muscles on his abdomen, “Look, look, this bro's body is the life of the general.” Then he burst out into laughter.

Gu Yunxi laughed. Cao Yu is a carefree and humorous person. They got along very well.

After an afternoon's rest, the production crew called all the actors on the next day. This time they're doing a fully closed off shooting, and all the props needed were in place. Therefore, the actors were required not to get out during the shooting, or they would bear a large amount of penalty.

This is the overlord clause, but it's Gu Xin's usual style. You can decide to not sign it and not act. If you sign it, you have to follow his rules.

“Everyone in place.” The props manager called for everyone to get in position. He shouted loudly, wiped away the sweat from his face, and cursed that the hot spells during summer really couldn't be endured by several people.

In shorts and short sleeves, Gu Xinleisurely sat on a chair enjoying the electric fan with a sun hat on. He looked very cool (temperature-wise) and entirely lacking any image. He took the loud speaker in his assistant's hand and shouted, “Zhou Xiran, Zhou Xiran come out faster.”

Gu Yunxi's mouth twitched. Under the various gazes from around him, he walked out of the crowd. As soon as Gu Xin saw him, he hurriedly got to his feet, took his hand, and led him under the sunshade. He earnestly instructed him, “You are my protagonist, you must not bask iHe made no secret of his preference for Gu Yunxi and didn't care whether it would cause dissatisfaction of others.

Gu Yunxi pretended to refuse and then went along with him, drinking the cold drink that the assistant handed him. Jing Tian yawned, the master's addiction to acting flared up again. Looks like he's doing quite well going down the naive, innocent little white flower route.

This time he still took on the form of a ring, but Gu Yunxi had to put it in the pocket close to his chest because he couldn't wear accessories when he was acting. Jing Tian rolled for several times happily and rubbed against Gu Yunxi's chest through his clothes.

It hasn't been so close to its owner for a long time, 'wuwu' (t/n: crying sounds/ sobs). In the last world, that big barrel of vinegar Qin Mo didn't like it. Several times, while his master was sleeping, he secretly pulled Jing Tian off his master's finger and threw it into the garbage can. When Jing Tian complained of this injustice, the master told him to give way to that man. Why should it, that man is so spoiled!

After the crew held a very simple start-up form, they immediately started the formal shooting without any buffer time. It is said that no one is willing to invest in this play, after all, this kind of theme can't even be shown, the investment is pure money to play, finally Director Gu didn't know where to pull a leader before he had money to start shooting.

For Gu Xin, time is money, and no one is allowed to delay the progress.

Hope you enjoy
