Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ruan Shenglin replied with a dark face, but didn’t move.

Yang Kun sighed and patted Shenglin’s shoulder. To be honest, although he was quite disgusted, no one could be blamed in this matter.

After all, the person had indeed died in an accident. Logically speaking, it was impossible to delay everything over one person’s life. Although Director Wang was a little cold-blooded in dealing with this matter, it still made sense.

Yang Kun was afraid that Shenglin would give Director Wang a hard time, so before he went out, he couldn’t help but console him. “Focus on filming. The film crew will definitely give us an explanation. I’ll keep Master Chi company!”

After listening to Brother Kun, Ruan Shenglin knew that this was the only way. Before he left, he talked to Brother Kun in a low voice about helping to compensate the family.

After Ruan Shenglin left, Yang Kun looked awkwardly at Master Chi in front of him. Although Master Chi was young, Yang Kun didn’t dare treat her like a young lady at all. Afraid that she wouldn’t be able to stand some things in the industry and would have a problem with them, Yang Kun hurriedly took advantage of Ruan Shenglin’s absence to curry favor with her.

Yang Kun had confidence in putting in a good word for Shenglin. Their circle was very messy, but whether it was before or after Shenglin became famous, he had a very decent character. This was also the biggest reason why Yang Kun had always been willing to stay by Shenglin’s side. Afraid that Master Chi wouldn’t believe him, he specially used himself as an example. “Master Chi, you don’t know, but when Shenglin first won the Best Actor award, I was far from being a top manager in this circle at that time. I could just barely be considered a sidekick who was stepped on everywhere. I was lucky to manage Shenglin. At that time, he was just an ordinary C-list actor. People thought he was ordinary-looking and didn’t think he would become popular, so he ended up with me. As for how he became popular, I didn’t do much. To be honest, I didn’t expect him to become popular. It was all thanks to his own hard work that I can get to where I am now. It was all thanks to Shenglin. After Shenglin became popular and even won the Best Actor award, those people who didn’t want him back then came buzzing like flies.”

It had been a difficult journey for Yang Kun. He still felt a little emotional whenever he thought of what happened back then. The highs and lows of the entertainment industry were especially extreme. It was an unpleasant analogy, but those people who did an about-face once Shenglin got popular really were like persistent flies.

The thing Yang Kun was most thankful for in this life was meeting his friend, Shenglin. The two of them had been friends for so many years, so it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that they were family. Back then, he thought that Shenglin would part ways with him after he became popular. After all, everyone in the industry was practical-minded – benefits were the most important. He was just a manager with no real power or resources. Ordinary people would do this, and Yang Kun wouldn’t resent them too much. At most, he would just feel terrible for a while.

But back then, Shenglin didn’t forget his roots at all and insisted that Yang Kun continue being his manager. Thinking this, Yang Kun smiled sincerely and continued, “But in the end, he still chose me to continue being his manager, and his character never changed. Master Chi, I promise you that Shenglin is different from everyone else in the industry. He’s especially good. Don’t misunderstand him.”

Chi Shuyan didn’t know why Manager Yang Kun was worried that she would misunderstand Film Emperor Ruan Shenglin, but from his expression, she knew that he was telling the truth. Chi Shuyan didn’t mind reaffirming how Yang Kun felt about a person who had never forgotten his roots even after becoming famous. She nodded. “Okay, I understand!”

Only then did Yang Kun feel a little more at ease. Afraid that Master Chi would be bored, he planned to take her to watch Shenglin film his scenes. Although Yang Kun had selfish motives in wanting Master Chi to persuade Director Wang to leave the village, more than that, he wanted to curry favor for Shenglin.

He felt very uneasy in this village. He knew that only Master Chi could help save their lives when the time came. It wasn’t a bad thing to help Shenglin curry favor.

Chi Shuyan didn’t know what Yang Kun was thinking. She just thought that he did want to take her to watch the filming or to persuade Director Wang to leave. She had already been disinclined to persuade Director Wang to leave, and even more so now that she saw how cold these people were. She had no plans to act like a saint.

She followed Yang Kun out and saw where Ruan Shenglin was filming. Only then did she learn about the movie that Ruan Shenglin was filming.

It was a romantic art film set in the 1970s or 1980s that was being shot on a fairly big scale; no wonder the crew had chosen such a remote mountain village to film in.

This was Chi Shuyan’s first time watching a movie shoot, and there was some curiosity in her eyes. After watching for a while, she realized that Ruan Shenglin was indeed a very good actor. Looking at the female lead, Chi Shuyan realized that it was an unfamiliar actress in her thirties.

Women who could enter the entertainment industry were all good-looking. Chi Shuyan realized that the female lead of this movie was especially beautiful. Not only did she have beautiful features, she also had temperament and charm. She was so elegant that Chi Shuyan couldn’t help but stare blankly.

Seeing how Master Chi was staring at Song Yanru and not Shenglin, Yang Kun was a little disappointed, but he quickly perked up and said to Master Chi, “Master Chi, that’s Film Empress Song. Do you like her a lot? I’ll get Shenglin to help you get an autograph later.”

Seeing that Master Chi didn’t speak, Yang Kun continued, “Master Chi, do you think Film Empress Song is especially good at acting? Shenglin is on the same level!”

As Yang Kun spoke, he continued to praise Shenglin. One moment, he said that he would get Film Empress Song’s autograph for Chi Shuyan, and the next moment, he said that he would get her Shenglin’s autograph.

Chi Shuyan: …

At that moment, a familiar voice suddenly rang out in the distance. “Shuyan, why are you here?”

Chi Shuyan retracted her gaze and looked up at Qin Qing, who had walked up to her. The woman in front of her spoke to her naturally and familiarly yet again, and Chi Shuyan almost forgot how this woman had made a sorry escape last time.

If it were any other time, she wouldn’t have bothered with Brother Feng’s ex-girlfriend, who was especially prone to overthinking. Now, however, when she thought of official business, she gave Qin Qing a rare look and took the initiative to draw closer to her. As she responded, she ‘inadvertently’ grabbed Qin Qing’s wrist and flipped through her memories.
