When it comes to Luo Zesheng, Liu Rulan has a lot to say.
"Stay away from this person from now on, the farther the better."
Liu Rulan gave Xiao He a stern warning.
Xiao He was a little confused, not expecting Liu Rulan's reaction to be even stronger than Bao Xin's.
"How so?"
He asked with some curiosity.
Liu Rulan glanced at Xiao He with a complicated look in her eyes, but still said, "This Luo Zesheng doesn't discriminate between men and women. He once targeted Shu Han, which caused some unpleasantness between them."
"Oh, ah, um?"
Xiao He almost tripped and fell flat on his face.
Whom have you taken a fancy to?
Xiao He's eyes widened like copper bells as he stared intently at Liu Rulan.
Is it definitely Shu Han, not Tong Junhui, and not Su Shengxi?
Liu Rulan coughed lightly and instructed, "Don't tell anyone about this."
Xiao He's mouth and eyes were twitching wildly.
Please, this is not something you should tell anyone, is it?
And Brother Shu?
Xiao He thought of the tough guy image that Brother Shu deliberately marketed when he first debuted, and his muscular physique, and he got goosebumps all over. He rubbed his arms in horror.
"Has Luo Zesheng gone mad?"
Liu Rulan saw Xiao He's expression with satisfaction, coughed lightly, and explained, "Fortunately, your brother Shu is also a tough character. He turned around and beat him up, knocking out three of his front teeth. After that, he didn't dare to have any more ulterior motives."
Xiao He: "...I didn't expect Brother Shu to be such a passionate person before."
He turned around and threw a punch without hesitation.
However, putting himself in the other person's shoes, Xiao He felt that beating the other person up was too lenient; if it were him, he probably would have turned around and beaten the person to death long ago.
Liu Rulan smiled helplessly: "It caused quite a stir back then, but fortunately Shu Han developed his career later on. That guy bullied the weak and feared the strong, so he never dared to do anything again."
Nevertheless, this guy caused Liu Rulan no shortage of trouble when he was at Jiaxing.
Xiao He made a note of this: "Then let him get lost."
He didn't come to the film crew to be treated like a coward.
"Let's take a look first." Liu Rulan shook her head, still retaining some rationality. "This production crew can't be messed up any further."
It's a large production and a big project to begin with. The longer it's delayed, the greater the production costs will be. If the main members of the production team keep changing, it will eventually affect the entire production team, and the consequences will be unpredictable.
Xiao He thought about it and agreed, so he didn't say anything more.
"Never mind that for now, just focus on playing your role well." Liu Rulan patted Xiao He on the shoulder. "I'm going to go talk to Bao Xin and the others. See you later."
"good."
Xiao He didn't dawdle any longer. The first thing he did upon entering the film crew was to diligently complete his own work.
-
Since I had just joined the crew, the scenes I filmed weren't too difficult. The main part was filming the scene where the female lead sees her crush, her senior brother, again after her first time in a loop.
The main focus of this storyline is on the female lead, Yu Xuezheng, while Xiao He only needs to be a supporting character, so the overall filming process is very smooth.
After the storyline was completed, Producer Luo was no longer on set. However, Jiang Chifei and Le Yuanbai invited Xiao He to a dinner party outside, which was a simple welcome ceremony and also a way for them to show their goodwill towards Xiao He.
Xiao He didn't want to stay in the film crew any longer, so he politely declined the two men's invitation to dinner.
After saying goodbye to the rest of the crew, Xiao He went straight back to the hotel.
Unfortunately, the person I hadn't seen at the hotel before, I unexpectedly ran into at the hotel now—
Xiao He could see from afar that Luo Zesheng was talking to the hotel's lobby manager, and there was a woman standing next to them wearing a hat and mask, completely covered up from head to toe.
Xiao He narrowed his eyes, but still recognized the other person's identity.
It turned out to be the female staff member who helped Yu Xuezheng tidy up the wires, causing the "accident" on site!
If Xiao He remembered correctly, the other party should have already been fired by the production team!
With such a stain on their career, this person will definitely not be able to stay in the entertainment industry in the future; otherwise, Yu Xuezheng would definitely have intervened.
However... Xiao He never expected that the two of them actually knew each other!
At the time, Luo Zesheng complained that the staff member was crying and whining, but it turned out that it was all an act!
He smoothed things over from beginning to end, making Yu Xuezheng swallow her anger, but the truth was that he was helping this employee out of a predicament.
Xiao He smiled sarcastically.
It's truly unexpected; these two actors' acting skills left everyone in the audience completely stunned.
If Yu Xuezheng knew the truth, she would probably cough up blood again.
It's strange, though. Wasn't the person who arranged that accident Yu Xuezheng's agent? Why is Luo Zesheng inexplicably involved?
Moreover, Luo Zesheng seems to have a good relationship with the hotel manager...
Xiao He's doubts were a jumbled mess, flashing through his mind, but he didn't delve into them. He simply turned and walked towards the elevator, returning to his hotel room.
In the evening, Xiao He reviewed the script and lines for the filming the next day as usual, and then prepared to go to bed to rest.
But before going to sleep, he thought about Luo Zesheng again, and after much deliberation, he sent an anonymous email to undercover reporter Zhou Junhao.
Anyway, Zhou Junhao now knows who sent the email, so Xiao He isn't worried that the other party will miss it.
Sure enough, the email was marked as "read" shortly after it was sent.
Xiao He breathed a sigh of relief, stopped worrying about it, and went straight to sleep.
I slept until the early hours of the morning.
...
"Knock knock—"
"Knock knock—"
In his daze, Xiao He seemed to hear a knock on the door next door.
"Hello, please open the door."
"Knock knock—"
"Hello--"
Xiao He turned over in frustration, wanting to pull the blanket over his head, but then he realized that the knocking on the door had soon reached him.
"Knock knock—"
"Teacher Xiao, are you asleep? There are some things I need to confirm with you. Please open the door—"
"Knock knock—Teacher Xiao? Are you there?"
Xiao He opened his eyes, his eyes blazing with anger.
Amidst the commotion outside the door, he first stared motionlessly at the wall in front of him, then finally scratched his hair impatiently.
"Here it comes, who is it! It's so annoying!"
Xiao He turned over, picked up his phone from the bedside table, and saw that it was just past midnight. His anger flared up even more instantly.
Thinking that something might have happened outside, Xiao He could only suppress his anger, get up, grab a coat, put it on, and then open the door.
Upon seeing the several unfamiliar police officers standing outside the door, Xiao He was instantly wide awake and his mind cleared up immediately.
"Hello, sorry to bother you."
The unfamiliar police officer looked Xiao He up and down, his gaze pausing subtly when it met Xiao He's eyes. Then, his eyes moved past Xiao He's shoulder, carefully examining the room before he asked with a serious expression, "Excuse me, are you alone in this room right now?"
Xiao He blinked, realizing that his morning irritation had amplified his criminal aura, once again alerting the unfamiliar police officer in front of him. He immediately rubbed his face with a yawn to soften his gaze and his expression: "Hmm, I'm alone. Do you need to check me?"
"Okay, please show me your ID card first."
"Please wait a moment."
Xiao He nodded, turned and went into the room, then came out again and handed over his ID card.
Only then did Xiao He notice that not only him, but also several other police officers were standing at the doors of nearby rooms, checking the guests' identification.
Xiao He asked in confusion, "Where is this?"
