1439 Roasting Director Wang
After last night, Yan Zhengming, Song Chu, Cao Zhengsong, Song Yanru and the others had thought of being more solicitous toward Master Chi, but when they heard Director Wang’s overly fawning words, their faces subconsciously stiffened and they got goosebumps all over their bodies.
Song Chu and Cao Zhengsong, the two juniors, didn’t care about the others. Their eyes lit up as they stared at Master Chi. They got antsy when they recalled what happened last night. If Director Wang wasn’t in front of the Master, the two boys wouldn’t have been able to help but go over and say a few words to her. Just speaking to her was an honor!
Taking advantage of the moment when everyone was still dazed, Director Wang approached Chi Shuyan enthusiastically. Everything he said was “Master Chi” this and “Master Chi” that. He even probed to see if she could look at the feng shui on the set of his next film. Afraid that Master Chi would refuse, Director Wang hurriedly and carefully said, “Master Chi, if you’re willing, I’ll charter a car to pick you up. Not only that, you can decide the price. When the time comes, you just have to walk around the set and take a look.”
Although Director Wang said that, he trusted Master Chi’s character in his heart. He had been scared by what happened in the village, and didn’t want to encounter such a thing in the future. Moreover, he now believed that there really were supernatural things in this world. If Master Chi didn’t go and take a look, he really wouldn’t feel at ease.
At the same time, Director Wang made up his mind that if Master Chi agreed this time, he would take the opportunity to build a good relationship with her. He hoped that Master Chi would be able to look at the feng shui on all his film sets in the future.
Chi Shuyan took in the cautious and overly solicitous look in Director Wang’s eyes. It didn’t take much to know what he was thinking. However, it wasn’t like she wouldn’t gain anything from this matter. Chi Shuyan thought for a while and then agreed. “Okay, Director Wang, just give me a call when the time comes, as long as I’m free!”
Director Wang thought that Master Chi would hesitate a little, but seeing her agree so quickly, he was excited and overjoyed. He hurriedly said in an excited and shaky voice, “Okay, okay, okay… Master Chi, it’s settled then!” To be honest, Director Wang itched to record Master Chi’s words so that she wouldn’t have any room to regret it at all. However, he only dared to target others with this method and didn’t dare target the young lady in front of him at all. So, his face became even more respectful and fawning, and he said a lot of good things about her which gave everyone goosebumps.
Chi Shuyan had no intention of listening to Director Wang’s flattery anymore. After eating breakfast, she put down her bowl and chopsticks and motioned to Director Wang, Ruan Shenglin and the others that they should eat. After breakfast, they would return to the capital at 10:30am.
After Director Wang felt that he had latched onto the golden thigh of a Master, his tone became even more friendly and bright. Speaking of which, Yan Zhengming, Ruan Shenglin, Yang Kun and Song Yanru, who knew Director Wang a little better, were used to Director Wang scolding people on set with a black face. No matter how formidable a background an actor might have, Director Wang still scolded them as usual. Now that they saw Director Wang fawning on Master Chi, they couldn’t help but feel that his image had collapsed.
However, the others were very happy and relieved that Master Chi had agreed to look at the feng shui on the set of Director Wang’s next film. Since they hadn’t been able to film in Dashan Village, Director Wang would probably choose a new set and make ample preparations. As for the actors, they probably wouldn’t change much. Master Chi’s agreement was to their benefit.
At the thought that they would be able to see Master Chi again, Song Chu and Cao Zhengsong were filled with excitement, while Yan Zhengming, Ruan Shenglin, Yang Kun and Song Yanru heaved sighs of relief.
When Master Chi went upstairs, Director Wang couldn’t help but excitedly rub his hands together. At the thought that Master Chi had agreed to look at feng shui on the set of his next film, Director Wang was very excited. Seeing Yan Zhengming and the others staring at him blankly, Director Wang said without a change in expression, “Everyone, hurry up and eat breakfast. I heard from the Master just now that we’ll be returning to the capital at 10:30am!”
Director Wang still wanted to say more, but his phone suddenly rang in his pocket. He picked up the call, and President Yang started firing questions at him like a machine gun, all of which had to do with them rashly leaving the village.
If it were before, Director Wang would have felt a little guilty. However, when he thought of what happened to the assistant director and producer, not only did he not regret it, he also rejoiced. He couldn’t help but think of Yang Kun and Ruan Shenglin. Before he picked up the call, Director Wang patted their shoulders gratefully and specially asked Ruan Shenglin how his wife was. After all, Shenglin’s wife was pregnant.
When Ruan Shenglin heard Director Wang’s very friendly tone, he immediately waved his hand to indicate that his wife was fine. Master Chi and the others had been protecting her the whole time; what could happen?
Director Wang nodded and had Ruan Shenglin and the others eat first as he went outside the hotel to answer the urgent and important call.
After Director Wang left, the atmosphere was much better. Everyone sat down and ate breakfast together. Song Chu and Cao Zhengsong were young. In addition, they had been managed by Yan Zhengming ever since they debuted, and their environment was much simpler than if they had been under other managers. Thus, they were relatively simple-minded and usually didn’t talk much. At that moment, Song Chu couldn’t help but say to Yan Zhengming, “Brother Yan, I’ve never seen Director Wang treat anyone so kindly and solicitous before. He’s simply a different person in front of Master Chi!”
Song Chu was just marveling, and didn’t have any other thoughts.
Cao Zhengsong quickly echoed Song Chu’s words. His eyes lit up as he said, “There’s no helping it, Master Chi is so capable.”
Seeing that the two brats still dared to roast Director Wang, Yan Zhengming couldn’t help but say seriously, “Don’t you know what to say and what not to say? Is Director Wang someone you can ridicule? Or did I indulge the two of you too much before?”
As soon as Yan Zhengming finished speaking, Song Chu and Cao Zhengsong hurriedly shut up obediently and didn’t dare mess around anymore. Ruan Shenglin, Yang Kun and Song Yanru spoke up for the two boys. They had all escaped death together, and could be considered friends. Only then did Yan Zhengming’s face look much better.
Ruan Shenglin was the most observant. He was the first to notice that something was wrong with Song Yanru’s expression, and she looked preoccupied. He couldn’t help but ask, “Sister Song, what’s wrong? Is something on your mind?”
