After the crazy villain read my mind, he only favored me!

"Thank you for your hard work. Everyone, take a two-hour break and continue in the afternoon."

After Ning Shu directed the last shot, he clapped his hands and let everyone take a break.

It was just time for lunch, and everyone rushed to the place where they were eating.

Ning Shu walked to the small table nearby. Xu Yang had already prepared lunch boxes according to his taste.

"Look here, I also feel that the transition is a bit abrupt. Aren't their identities not suitable for this kind of conversation?"

Ning Shu held up the tablet, on which was the clip that had just been filmed.

He discussed with Xu Yang while eating.

Xu Yang also expressed his own views and opinions, and finally took the tablet.

"I'll go talk to the two actors and ask for their opinions. Just focus on eating."

"Oh fine."

Ning Shu responded dryly and watched Xu Yang walk away with the tablet.

He Youhao came over at this time. He took the script that he had previously disliked as childish and went to discuss some important plot points with Ning Shu.

"The purpose here is to..."

He Youhao listened and wrote down several turning points that he thought were the most important.

Ning Shu was talking so excitedly that he forgot to eat for a moment.

When Xu Yang came back, he looked at his not-so-short meal, and then glanced at He Youhao who had finished eating a long time ago, and there was a hint of hostility in his eyes.

He grabbed He Youhao's collar and lifted him up.

Xu Yang's eyes were cold and his face was filled with anger.

"Didn't you hear him say that everyone should take a two-hour break? Why are you pretending to be diligent now? Why didn't I see you this morning?"

He Youhao had always looked down on Xu Yang's poor status, and now he looked down on his flattery even more, so he directly resisted.

"I'm talking to my boss, and he didn't say no, so why are you interfering?"

"Why, are you so eager to serve me?"

Seeing that the two were making more and more noise, many people around them looked over, and Ning Shu quickly stood up and separated them.

"Say less, say less."

Ning Shu grabbed Xu Yang's hand and patted it: "Don't be like this, I want to eat, I'll eat right away."

"So many people are watching you. You're a big star now. Everything you say and do is important."

Xu Yang snorted in dissatisfaction, but ultimately did not make things difficult for Ning Shu.

He let go of He Youhao and pointed his finger at him: "This is my last warning to you. You'd better behave yourself."

He Youhao fell to the ground, staring at him with resentment, obviously not hearing what he said.

In the end, it was other people who came up and took them all in completely different directions, thus preventing a farce.

Ning Shu supported his forehead and couldn't stop sighing.

Should I not have recruited him?

[But it’s not good to fire him now… ahhhh, this is so annoying! ]

Ning Shu scratched his hair in annoyance and finished the rice in no time.

Ning Shu didn't take this farce seriously.

I was afraid that He Youhao would feel resistance and become even more depressed, so I didn't talk to him.

However, Xu Yang, after calming down, went to him and reflected on it.

"I was indeed too impulsive. Fortunately, we are all on the same side, so there shouldn't be any news that is bad for the studio that gets out."

Ning Shu sighed: "That's not what I meant."

"Mostly your own reputation."

Ning Shu thought about it and chose his words carefully.

"You and I only signed a labor contract, not an agency contract. You are free. After this short play, you will become more famous."

There was something Ning Shu didn't say. In his opinion, Xu Yang's current popularity was already comparable to that of some third-tier stars.

But if this is heard by someone with ulterior motives, he might be taken advantage of.

"Anyway, think it over carefully. I've seen quite a few people hand you a book recently. If there's a suitable one, you can give it a try."

Ning Shu was very clear about his abilities.

Shooting a few short dramas may be fine for entertaining the general public, but compared with those genuine media companies with strong foundations, there is a world of difference.

It is impossible for Xu Yang to stop here and make short dramas for him for the rest of his life.

Hearing the hidden meaning of Ning Shu's words, Xu Yang fell silent.

In Ning Shu's eyes, his determination was as worthless as waste paper.

But he also knew that Ning Shuren was considering his future.

"Well, I know what I am doing, don't worry."

Ning Shu breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Xu Yang would be too stubborn and inflexible.

Now that the conditions are finally good, we must seize the opportunity to develop ourselves.

Only by making yourself stronger can you better control your future.

"By the way, the Zhou family didn't cause you any more trouble, did they?"

Speaking of the future, Ning Shu swallowed, hesitated for a while, and then asked about his concerns over the past few days.

Although they basically stay together for twenty hours a day.

But there were always loopholes that he didn't notice and they took advantage of them.

Xu Yang was silent for a moment and did not answer immediately.

[No, you really found it? ]

[Why are these family members so persistent? I've already said I don't want to recognize them, so why are they still pestering me? ]

Ning Shu is completely on Xu Yang's side.

He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'll go find them..."

"No, I want to solve it myself."

Xu Yang sighed and grabbed Ning Shu's hand: "Also, don't pat your chest next time. Your small body can't handle it."

Ning Shu, who coughed every time after patting himself: "..."

“Okay, I won’t shoot, but the Zhou family is big and powerful, and I’m afraid you will be bullied.”

Xu Yang shook his head and after thinking about it, he decided to tell Ning Shu.

"They didn't use their power to force me. They just waited for me to get off work every few days and invited me to have dinner together. They never forced me and respected my decisions."

After hearing this, Ning Shu understood.

[Oh, you know that coercion doesn't work, so you change to a softer policy? ]

"Okay, then you must tell me if there is anything. I have to be responsible for you."

Ning Shu spoke without thinking. He felt that since he had let Xu Yang appear in the Zhou family's sight, he had to take responsibility for this matter.

But obviously Xu Yang didn't think so.

He coughed and turned his head to try to control the corners of his mouth.

"Oh, I see."

"Be responsible and don't say this lightly in the future." It's easy to be misunderstood and it's too heavy.

Ning Shu tilted his head, confused but respectful.

Xu Yang would not harm him, so he must have his reasons.

But even though Xu Yang said so, Ning Shu was still not reassured, so he went back to look for Lin Zhi.

Now Linzhi has officially taken over Guiqulaixie and has made many adjustments.

As soon as he stepped in here, Ning Shu was shocked by the retro decoration in front of him.

Even the tables and chairs exude a kind of simple elegance, which is easy for people who listen to the opera to relate to themselves.

"You haven't been here for a while, I thought you were angry."

When Lin Zhi heard Ning Shu coming, she quickly put down what she was doing and came over.

Seeing Ning Shu, I felt inexplicably relieved.

Ning Shu smiled at her: "How could that be? I've been a bit busy lately."

"I came here today to ask if you have contacted Mrs. Yi yet."

When Lin Zhi heard this, an embarrassed look appeared on her face.

"Are you here by yourself, or are you here on behalf of Xu Yang?"

Lin Zhi heard that Xu Yang refused to return to his ancestral home, and she also knew that the Zhou family would definitely not give up.

She was worried that Ning Shu came here to warn the Zhou family not to go too far.

If that was the case, she wouldn't have the courage to reveal Mrs. Yi's whereabouts to him.

Ning Shu knew what Lin Zhi was thinking and patted her on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I'm not here to embarrass you."

As he spoke, he leaned closer to Lin Zhi and whispered, "I just came here to find out what their attitude towards Xu Yang is."

"I heard from Xu Yang that they are now taking turns to watch him. Although he hasn't done anything particularly excessive, it's always good to know more about him."

Lin Zhi was also a little surprised when she heard this.

After all, in her opinion, except Zhou Yi, all other members of the Zhou family were just people with a lot of superficial beauty.

Every posture and demeanor is extraordinary.

It is difficult to combine them with the word "squatting".

Not to mention them, even Ning Shu was a little curious, so he thought of coming to Lin Zhi to inquire about the situation.

"Or in other words, has Zhou Yi done anything particularly abnormal recently?"

Ning Shu didn't worry much about the other three.

Although they are obviously more powerful, they are all well-educated people.

Moreover, he truly loves Xu Yang and would definitely not do anything to hurt Xu Yang.

But Zhou Yi is different.

Zhou Yi had a strong prejudice against Xu Yang just because of his relationship with him.

Even when they met before, he was skeptical about Xu Yang's purpose.

It is obviously impossible to make him willingly admit that Xu Yang is his brother.

If it was someone else, Lin Zhi wouldn't be sure, but she was more sure about Zhou Yi.

"I haven't seen him for a long time, and I rarely hear about him from other rich kids in the circle. This is quite unusual."

How should I put it? It's the feeling that if a child is quiet, he must be up to something.

Ning Shu understood instantly.

"I see. Thank you."

Linzhi said she didn’t know, so it’s definitely useless to ask.

However, Ning Shu planned to go and check out the bars that Zhou Yi often went to.

It’s not that he cares too much about this matter, but he is really worried about Zhou Yi because of his criminal record.

If a person can push a sick person into the water in the middle of winter, is there anything he can't do?

Ning Shu did not hide this from Fu Mingchen. She found a less busy weekend and asked Fu Mingchen to go to a bar together, and treated it as a date.

"Wow, you look so cool!"

Ning Shu looked at Fu Mingchen's black leather jacket and touched it.

The cool material made him shrink his hand.

Fu Mingchen looked at Ning Shu's fixed gaze and was very satisfied with his outfit today.

He also heard from some employees in the company that one should always keep things fresh in the hearts of lovers.

Changing clothes is an important means.

Sure enough, they were right.
