"What's the situation now?"
Xiao He pushed open the door and went inside.
The people who had been arguing in the room immediately stopped their confrontation.
Xiao He's gaze swept over the people in front of him without leaving a trace.
There were five people in the room: Yu Xuezheng, her assistant, director Lu Weicheng, the staff member who seemed to have targeted Yu Xuezheng, and a man Xiao He didn't recognize at all.
Xiao He's gaze involuntarily fell on the unfamiliar man.
This was a man with a somewhat effeminate appearance, medium-length, slightly curly hair, wearing a brown shawl with a blue shirt. His overall look resembled that of a trendy old-money "manager," and while he was trendy, his eyes held a hint of meanness and displeasure.
Someone barged in uninvited, and he glared at Xiao He, saying, "Don't you have any manners? Why didn't you knock before coming in?"
Xiao He: Tsk.
Director Lu took a breath, while Yu Xuezheng on the other side had a half-smile on her face.
"President Luo, this is our second male lead, Xiao He."
To prevent Luo Zesheng from saying anything more about Xiao He, Lu Weicheng immediately interrupted him, "He's also the boss of Linghui Entertainment."
Following Lu Weicheng's words, Xiao He clearly sensed that Luo Zesheng's attitude had softened considerably.
"Teacher Xiao, this is President Luo, Luo Zesheng, the producer of our production team."
Lu Weicheng then immediately introduced him to Xiao He.
"Ah, it's Producer Luo."
Xiao He twitched the corner of his mouth.
Previously, when the crew of "Cang Yue Jie" had an incident, in addition to Wang Shaoqi, who took the initiative to call people to the hotel, there was also the producer of the crew at the time. Later, due to the incident, Wang Shaoqi and the producer were arrested by the police and their reputations were ruined. So the main investor immediately replaced the producer.
And this Luo Zesheng was the producer who was temporarily ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) brought in.
Because this person arrived even later than Xiao He, Ling Hui Entertainment did not have any face-to-face contact with Xiao He when it invested in the production team, nor did it recognize Xiao He's identity. It was assumed that Xiao He was just an ordinary actor in the production team.
Upon hearing the young man's name, his heart skipped a beat, and a smile immediately appeared on his face as he shook hands firmly with Xiao He: "Mr. Xiao, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"No need to call me President Xiao. In this crew, I'm just an actor. You are all seniors, so I should be polite."
Xiao He replied in a sarcastic tone.
The aura emanating from that opponent...
One producer left, and now a bad guy has arrived.
"I'm mainly here to ask about what just happened."
He shifted the topic to his real goal and turned to look at Yu Xuezheng: "I overheard a few words at the door earlier, so was this incident deliberate or an accident?"
Yu Xuezheng met Xiao He's gaze, her eyes flickering slightly. When she spoke again, her voice softened, seemingly carrying a hint of grievance: "I'm very sorry, Director Lu, Producer Luo, I'm mainly afraid that this kind of thing will happen repeatedly on set. I was lucky this time, Teacher Xiao was also there, and no one was injured on set. But what if we let the culprit go this time, and the others on set find out and become restless, and this kind of thing happens again?"
Brilliant, that's exactly what a smart person would say.
Xiao He feigned excitement and looked at Luo Zesheng: "Yes, I'm also very worried that someone might try to use such underhanded tactics on me. If our crew can't even guarantee the most basic safety of the female lead, how can the filming continue?"
Yu Xuezheng used a soft knife, while Xiao He used a blunt knife without any mercy. The expressions of the staff member became serious.
This is indeed a big problem.
The person who secretly harmed Yu Xuezheng was a female staff member. She was already sobbing when she apologized earlier, and now, after hearing Xiao He's words, she cried even harder.
However, no one at the scene was buying her act.
"Stop crying, crying won't solve anything."
Yu Xuezheng said impatiently, "If you're willing to reveal who instructed you, I won't pursue your actions this time. But if you're stubborn, even if Director Lu and Producer Luo are unhappy, I will definitely send you to the police station."
"I really didn't mean to."
The staff member still refused to change her story, crying and trying to justify herself.
Everyone was in a bad mood.
Especially Luo Zesheng.
He didn't want to waste time on such a trivial matter.
"Alright, let's kick her out, then blacklist her from the industry, and make sure no production company hires her again, okay!"
Luo Zesheng was determined to smooth things over and issued the final order.
Director Lu looked at Yu Xuezheng hesitantly, "Little Yu, what do you think about this..."
Yu Xuezheng forced a smile, but her hands clenched tightly without her noticing.
She knew that the production crew had a lot of resentment towards her and Xingchen Entertainment, the company behind her.
After all, Qin Lezhang is from Xingchen Entertainment, and Wang Shaoqi, who was arrested, is also from Xingchen Entertainment. Now, the trouble she caused on set is also being attributed to Xingchen Entertainment.
Yu Xuezheng hadn't done anything, but her situation on the set had already quietly changed.
Xiao He did not speak at this moment, but just watched in silence.
"Sure."
Yu Xuezheng finally took a step back, no longer pressing the staff member for an explanation of who was behind it. She simply smiled coldly at the staff member and said, "Then let her get out of here now. I don't want to see her on any film set."
"Thank you, thank you, Sister Xuezheng."
The staff were overjoyed and immediately bowed to Yu Xuezheng to express their gratitude, as if they had escaped a great escape.
"Replace that safety officer too. I don't want the person responsible for my safety to be someone who just shirks their duties and has no sense of responsibility."
Yu Xuezheng turned to Director Lu and continued speaking.
"Okay, no problem."
Seeing that Yu Xuezheng had finally relented, Lu Weicheng breathed a sigh of relief, a smile spreading across his face as he spoke politely, "We're sorry to trouble Xiao Yu this time, but we had no other choice. Too many things have happened recently..."
"Okay, I understand."
Yu Xuezheng had no intention of listening any longer, and a look of exhaustion appeared on her face: "I want to rest. I think we've finished filming today, right? I'll be going now."
"Okay, then I'll see you off."
Lu Weicheng immediately spoke, then followed Yu Xuezheng's footsteps.
Soon, only Xiao He and Luo Zesheng remained in the room, which was furnished like a reception room.
Xiao He had no intention of lingering, but Luo Zesheng was very interested in him and asked with a smile, "Mr. Xiao, are you new to the crew?"
Filming has been going on for quite some time now, but this is the first time Xiao He has appeared on set.
Luo Zesheng had vaguely heard that Xiao He was specially invited by Tao Zidong of Xingchen Entertainment, so he couldn't help but start to guess Xiao He's family background.
Moreover, Xiao He is so young, yet he's already the boss of an entertainment company. It would be impossible for him to do this without some powerful backing.
"Yeah, I'm pretty busy," Xiao He said bluntly. "Is there anything else?"
Luo Zesheng, who had originally intended to continue with polite remarks, choked on his words.
"If there's nothing else, I won't bother you any longer, Mr. Luo."
Xiao He nodded slightly to Luo Zesheng, then turned and left, completely ignoring the changing expressions on Luo Zesheng's face.
Just as he stepped out of the room, Xiao He called out to Yu Xuezheng.
Yu Xuezheng also stopped and looked at Xiao He.
"Watch out for your agent."
Xiao He spoke succinctly, handing over a memory card, "Someone overheard their conversation."
Yu Xuezheng clenched her fists, her expression instantly turning grim: "I had a feeling about this, but I didn't expect it..."
That's true.
"Ultimately, this matter boils down to an internal conflict within your Xingchen Entertainment. You can handle it yourself."
Xiao He said calmly.
"I believe you are a smart person, so don't affect our filming."
