Fu Qianchen's eyes darkened. He stood on the balcony. There was a stark contrast between the imperial capital and Beishi.
When it might be a star - filled sky in Feng Yu's place, it was still a cloudless sunny day here.
He stared at the gradually gathering dark clouds, and many concerns welled up in his heart.
After a long while, he finally said, "Don't keep anything from me, okay?"
Feng Yu pursed her lips. She wasn't sure if Fu Qianchen already knew something. She didn't say a word, and there was complete silence on the phone.
"Mr. Fu, just this once. Just give me a chance to prove my ability to help you, okay?"
Feng Yu held the phone, her tone extremely serious.
"I've said that I'll never be your appendage, let alone a burden. So, this time, just give me a try and see if I can handle it, okay? If I'm wrong this time, I promise I'll listen to you from now on. Whatever you want me to do, I'll do it."
The girl's voice was filled with determination.
Fu Qianchen's hand tightened involuntarily.
Outside the door, Secretary Yin knocked on the door and said, "Mr. Fu, the plane is ready. You can go back to Beishi now."
Feng Yu bit her lips.
She knew it. There was nothing that could be hidden from Fu Qianchen.
It wasn't that she didn't want him to come back.
It was just that he made her feel as if she was completely useless. Whenever there was the slightest possibility of danger for her, he would immediately lock her in a space he deemed safe. This kind of so - called security was not what she wanted. What was the difference between this and a canary in a cage?
After a long while, there was some movement on the other end of the phone.
She heard Fu Qianchen let out a long sigh and say, "Your request this time is more excessive than ever."
"Then I'll reward you later?" Feng Yu smiled. It seemed he had agreed.
"Okay."
Fu Qianchen agreed.
After the call ended, her heart was filled with sweetness.
His trust in her was also an acknowledgement of her ability.
[Mr. Fu, I find that I like you even more.]
When Fu Qianchen received the girl's text message, he showed a bitter smile.
If this love had to be bought with her risking her life.
He would rather she didn't like him anymore.
At least she would be safe.
...
Early in the morning, Feng Yu went to the filming set.
When Lu Zhiqian saw her, his expression remained unchanged. There was neither extra surprise nor excessive joy. It was still as plain as usual. However, her agent was extremely happy.
"Xiaoyu, you're here."
The agent quickly came over to greet her. "I thought you were going to break the contract again."
Feng Yu felt a bit embarrassed instead. "Don't worry. I definitely won't this time."
Director Yang was extremely happy to see Feng Yu. "I said that only you can play this role well. I've watched *The Green Water Destiny*. I believe you will definitely surpass that character."
Feng Yu's appearance caused quite a stir. An even bigger storm was that she and Actor Lu both declined the roles in *The Green Water Destiny* and came here.
Director Qian was sort of outmaneuvered. His face looked as ugly as it could be. In the early days, he would have simply replaced the actors. But this time, old Yang, his frequent competitor, was also filming a drama.
If he gave up like this, wouldn't it be like admitting defeat voluntarily?
So, when it was reported that both Feng Yu and Actor Lu were in the crew of *The Light of Enlightenment*, Qian Qining also came over with a brazen face.
"It's Director Qian!"
"He's here to find me."
"Should be here to find me, right."
While the leading actors remained calm, a bunch of supporting actors and extras were more excited than anyone else.
When Director Yang saw him, he couldn't help but laugh. "Oh, what kind of wind has blown Director Qian here? It must be a tornado, or else such a heavy - weight figure wouldn't have been blown to my place."
Qian Qining forced a smile and patted his shoulder. "Old Yang, you're being a bit unreasonable. You can film your own drama. Why did you come to my place to poach people, and two leading actors at that?"
"Leading actors? Director Qian, if I remember correctly, the role you arranged for Xiaoyu was just a disliked second - female lead who was supposed to be scolded. The original script was all over the internet. I felt it was not worth it for this little girl. It was her first acting experience, and she met a miser like you."
Director Yang was extremely proud now that he had two popular actors in his crew. They not only had high popularity but also good acting skills.
Qian Qining looked embarrassed. He had to admit that at first, he had only wanted to ride on Feng Yu's popularity. After all, being popular, even if it was in a negative way, was still being popular. He could just white - wash her later. Many female artists had even thanked him for that. Who knew that he would run into Feng Yu. She would rather pay the breach - of - contract fee than act.
"Don't laugh at me. I just had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai. Are they filming now? I just want to take a look." Director Qian tried to squeeze into the filming set secretly.
But Director Yang stopped him. "I said, Director Qian, have you forgotten? This isn't your palace or whatever. I just came to your door, and you had the stagehand kick me out. I'm not as ruthless as you."
Director Qian felt a bit humiliated. However, at this sensitive moment, he was also a bit stuck.
"You know, I've been scolded badly these days. I don't know which heartless person leaked the script. Now, it's all good. Originally, only Xue Feifei was being scolded. Now, even I'm being scolded."
Hearing this, Director Yang thought he deserved it.
When Qian Qining made dramas, his most common tactic was to arrange an unpopular villain to attract hatred and scolding. He would also use the villain's name as the title of the script.
Not only the audience, but also many people in the director circle couldn't stand it.
However, every one of his dramas was a huge hit. The data was there. Even if they couldn't stand it, what could they do? Saying too much would only earn them the title of being jealous.
This time, Qian Qining's misfortune had made many people clap their hands in delight.
"That has nothing to do with me. You can film your own drama. Don't you have Feng Yayin, your regular actress? Why come to my place to make a fuss?" Director Yang wasn't going to give in.
Since he announced early this morning that Feng Yu would join their crew.
The super - topic of *The Light of Enlightenment* had immediately exceeded 100 million views.
The novel fans all said that Feng Yu was exactly the medical student in their hearts, even though she was a forensic scientist...
Qian Qining didn't get what he wanted and returned to his crew in a bad mood.
When he saw Feng Yayin, he suddenly thought of something and asked her, "I heard that Feng Yu is your younger sister, right?"
Feng Yayin frowned. Before she could say anything, she saw Qian Qining looking at her expectantly and saying,
"Yayin, you know the current situation. We've already filmed four or five episodes, but the ratings are worlds apart from those of the second episode. The audience all wants to see them..."
