He Xi's expression turned serious.
He scratched the back of his head and cast a pleading look in Lao Zhao's direction, his eyes filled with a pitiful glint as if seeking help from him.
Lao Zhao, standing beside him, stared directly at He Xi. The latter's current expression was just like that of his cat when it had done something wrong and was begging for forgiveness. It was actually quite cute.
Lao Zhao walked up to He Xi with a helpless look on his face.
He Xi, as if he had found a lifesaver, immediately hid behind him.
"Boss, regarding the poison needle incident, we found Xue Shanshan. She took all the blame on herself and didn't admit there was a mastermind behind it," Lao Zhao reported.
Fu Qianchen narrowed his eyes, a hint of coldness and killing intent flashing in them. He pursed his thin lips slightly. "Really? If so, why is he so panicked?"
A terrified He Xi: ...
He Xi was so scared by Fu Qianchen's narrowed eyes that he grabbed Lao Zhao's arm with both hands and cried.
"But Boss said that the mastermind of this incident can't be Xue Shanshan... I... I haven't dug out the mastermind behind Xue Shanshan yet. I'm afraid Boss will kill me."
Lao Zhao continued, "Although Xue Shanshan insists there's no mastermind, she didn't receive any money. We found out that she seems to have a boyfriend named Wu Li."
Lao Zhao handed the photo in his hand to Fu Qianchen.
He Xi looked at Lao Zhao with admiration!
Lao Zhao continued calmly, "We originally wanted to keep following up, but we found that sister - in - law was also looking into this matter. We were afraid she'd find out we were involved, so we temporarily stopped the investigation."
"Yes, that's right!"
Seeing the coldness in Fu Qianchen's eyes fade, He Xi boldly chimed in, "So, Boss, should we still get involved in this matter?"
Fu Qianchen was silent for a while before slowly saying, "Don't get involved for now, but the investigation should continue."
Based on his girl's personality, if he took it upon himself to solve this matter for her, she'd probably get angry again. But seeing her calm appearance on the set, she should have a way to handle it.
Suddenly, he realized that he hadn't seen his girl for a long time.
Fu Qianchen stood up, straightened his suit, and strode towards the door.
He Xi frowned slightly and mumbled softly, "Boss only has sister - in - law in his eyes now. He doesn't even care about the company..."
But the next second, Lao Zhao grabbed the back of his head and forcibly pressed him into his arms.
He Xi struggled desperately, but Lao Zhao didn't loosen his grip at all. "Boss, take care!"
Fu Qianchen withdrew his cold demeanor and left Hailan Group. As soon as he left, Lao Zhao finally let go of He Xi.
He Xi's face turned red, probably due to lack of oxygen. There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes. He pouted, frowned, and stared at Lao Zhao as if blaming him for making him lose face in front of the boss.
Lao Zhao silently watched his dissatisfied look and always felt that He Xi was becoming more and more like his cat.
...
Since the news that Qiu Fu had invested in the crew of *The Legend of Lu Lan* spread, the people filming on the set every day were as energetic as if they had been injected with stimulants. They often ran up to Qiu Fu to show their hospitality.
When Feng Qingsheng heard that Qiu Fu almost showed up on the set every day, she was shocked! She begged He Xinlan to get her a role in *The Legend of Lu Lan*.
But it wasn't that easy to get a role in a TV series directed by Song Qing!
Moreover, Feng Qingsheng had never acted before. It was almost impossible for her to get a role with lines, but it was possible for her to play a maid beside Lu Lan.
Feng Qingsheng got a nameless and silent maid role. She was originally very unhappy, but thinking that she could be in contact with Qiu Fu every day, she endured it and immediately came to the set.
Wearing a maid's outfit, she ran up to Qiu Fu and asked with a smile, "Mr. Qiu, sitting here must be tiring. Would you like some water?"
She happily offered the water in her hand to Qiu Fu.
But who was Qiu Fu?
He always had a poker face, and his face seemed to be written with the words 'Keep your distance'.
How could Qiu Fu pay attention to her?
Seeing that Qiu Fu ignored her, Feng Qingsheng bit her lower lip and squeezed out a few dry tears. She looked at him pitifully, as if trying to gain a bit of sympathy from the heartless man with her weak appearance.
However, Qiu Fu still ignored her.
"Come on, you're just a nameless little maid. How dare you get close to Mr. Qiu? Have you no shame?"
"You!"
Hearing someone directly expose her, Feng Qingsheng frowned tightly, her face turning red with anger. She put her hands on her hips and was about to pick a fight with the person who had exposed her.
Suddenly, Feng Yu walked out.
She slowly walked up to Qiu Fu, also holding a bottle of water. She asked with a smile, "Would you like some water, Mr. Qiu?"
The expression on Fu Qianchen's poker face softened a bit. "Sure. If I don't give Mrs. Fu face, it might make Mrs. Qiu angry when she hears about it."
Feng Yu wasn't angry when she heard this. Instead, a naive smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, as if there was really only pure friendship between them.
"Yes, yes, yes. Does Mr. Qiu only have Mrs. Qiu in his heart?"
"Of course."
Mentioning Mrs. Qiu, a bright smile finally appeared on Fu Qianchen's ice - cold face.
He curled his sexy red lips, exuding a sexy charm that made the surrounding staff can't help but look at him a few more times.
Qiu Fu on the set could only be described with one word: double - standard!
In his world, there were only two types of people: Mrs. Fu and others.
Feng Qingsheng watched them chatting and laughing, her eyes turning scarlet with anger. She clenched her fists. In the past, Feng Yu could only be obediently trampled under her feet, but now...
She could only look up at the shining Feng Yu dejectedly!
Jealousy and hatred welled up in her heart!
Suddenly, Song Qing shouted, "Get ready to start!"
Feng Yu and Feng Qingsheng both walked into the studio. Feng Yu sat on a chair, while Feng Qingsheng stood beside her. Xie Xiaoyun stood in front of Feng Yu.
This scene was very simple. It was just a scene between Feng Yu and Xie Xiaoyun.
Feng Qingsheng's only part was to pour water for Feng Yu.
"Start!" Song Qing shouted.
Lu Lan sat on the chair, a curve appearing on the corner of her mouth, and a hint of disdain in her eyes. "You mean you want me to cooperate with you?"
"Yes!"
Liang Yun stared at her confidently and said arrogantly, "We're just humble maids. As long as we join hands, once the Queen falls, the Noble Consort Gao has said that she'll give us a chance to become concubines. Then..."
