“Cut, Qiao Mo acted really well. Get ready for the next scene.” Lin Zhen shouted with a loud speaker and the assistant said something in his ear. He looked at the door and quickly got up to meet the person.

“Why did President Qin come to visit Qiao Mo’s act?” Qiao Mo was the only famous artist from Xingying Media, Lin Zhen asked with a smile.

Fang Miao was already in the car. He already knew the child’s name. Qin Shen looked around the studio, not seeing Jiang Yu, he asked, “Where is Jiang Yu?”

Lin Zhen froze, wasn’t Jiang Yu an artist of Haiyin Entertainment, the two were deadly opponents. What did Qin Shen come to Jiang Yu for?

Waiting for the answer for a long time, Qin Shen frowned and Lin Zhen quickly said, “Jiang Yu had just finished filming his scenes and he should be changing clothes in the dressing room.”

Not waiting for Qin Shen to ask again, Lin Zhen told his assistant to take Qin Shen to the dressing room.

On the field, the staff was helping Qiao Mo remove his wire fu{n1}. His assistant said something to his ear and he looked up in surprise. Seeing Qin Shen who was talking with Lin Zhen, he urged the staff to be quicker.

Note1: Wire fu is an element or style of Hong Kong action cinema used in fight scenes. It is a combination of two terms: “wire work” and “kung fu.”

His delightful eyes fell on Qin Shen. As soon as the wire was removed, he couldn’t wait to take a big step toward Qin Shen. However, after taking two steps, he saw that Qin Shen didn’t look at him at all, and he followed the director’s assistant and left.

Qiao Mo eagerly walked around, quickly walked to Lin Zhen and asked, “Director Lin, what did President Qin come for?”

Lin Zhen’s face was still shocked and he said, “…Looking for Jiang Yu.”

Looking for Jiang Yu? Qiao Mo’s eyebrows narrowed tightly.

In the dressing room, Jiang Yu was changing clothes and discussing with Xiao Fang where to eat when the door was knocked. Xiao Fang went to open the door, and on the other side was the director’s assistant and two other unknown men.

“Is it sister Yan? I’m coming.” Jiang Yu thought it was Yan Shu who came, and hurriedly ran over with his shirt on his head, one hand in front and one hand behind pulling the clothes down. Seeing Qin Shen at the door, he was silenced.

…Why is he here?

“Jiang Yu, President Qin is looking for you.” Lin Zhen’s assistant said, and then stepped back. The eyes behind the glasses pretended to be indifferent, but in fact was listening to every gossip from the two.

Xiao Fang had been in the circle for a few years. She didn’t know all the people in the circle who have the power of assets but she  knew nine out of ten, and Qin Shen was one of the nine.

If the other party was not the owner of Xingying Media, she would be glad that Jiang Yu knew this great god. But now, she had to be vigilant. At the door, she raised her head stiffly, “What is President Qin looking for in Jiang Yu?”

Qin Shen glanced down at her, and she immediately persuaded, stuttering, “Jiang Yu is… is an artist of our company, you… you can’t dig him away…”

Qin Shen, “…”

“I just want to ask him a question.” Qin Shen said lightly and went into the room. Xiao Fang gave up and let him in.

“President Qin wants to talk with Jiang Yu alone.” Qin Shen’s assistant spoke mildly, but his men was pulling Xiao Fang out of the room and closing the door.

With only the two of them left in the room. Jiang Yu was stiff and gulped a little. Why did he come to find me? Did he find out what I was doing?

Qin Shen looked at the boy in front of him. He was in a hurry to change clothes, the shirt had not been pulled down completely, exposing a thin white waist. He stared slightly, remembering the purpose of this visit, and asked, “At 8th on XiXia Road, there was a reception in the evening. Were you there?”

He really found out. Jiang Yu’ was anxious, and he quickly exerted his acting skills he learned these days. His face showing a hesitant look, he pretending to think, and slowly whispered, “Yeah.”

Qin Shen continued to ask, “Have you gone upstairs?”

He really found out!!! Jiang Yu’s heart screamed, controlling his facial expressions, he answered again, “…Yes.”

“This was what you left then?” Qin Shen stared deeply at him, took out the pearl and put it on his fingertips. 

When Jiang Yu saw the pearl, he shook his head, “No, I don’t know this thing.”

“Don’t know?” Qin Shen raised an eyebrow and stared at him, “If you don’t know then why are you so nervous?”

Jiang Yu looked up in panic. He looked into Qin Shen’s dark eyes, remembering the scene of that night, he was anxious, stretched out his hand to cover his neck, stepped back, and stuttered, “That… I went into the wrong room that night and saw you… you’re choking someone’s neck, she asked me for help, I helped her, she ran, and you choked… choked my neck… I… I’m scared…”

Qin Shen frowned, looking intensely at his face. His small face was a white, he had just washed his face so his forehead was a little wet. His eyes were scared, and he was frightened.

Qin Shen suddenly developed a sense of guilt like he was bullying a child.

“…Is it serious?” Looking at the child’s scared eyes, Qin Shen rubbed his temples and asked with guilt.

Jiang Yu was so nervous, he was afraid he didn’t believe it. He heard his question, relieved in his heart, shook his head, and whispered, “Not serious, you… you passed out, I helped you lay on the sofa and ran away.”

He still had his hands on his neck, and he did not have time to pull down his shirt. This action not only showed a thin white waist, but a small flat belly was exposed. The door was knocked suddenly, and he turned around to open it.

“Wait.” Qin Shen stopped him, and saw him turning his head. He looked at his terrified little eyes, “…”

Is he really so terrible?

“Your clothes are not pulled down properly.” His eyes fell on his waist, and he kindly reminded him.

Jiang Yu tugged the shirt in a hurry, and hurried to open the door. Yan Shu was outside the door.

“Why is President Qin looking for Jiang Yu? I am his agent, and you can talk to me.” Yan Shu saw Jiang Yu and pulled him behind her, like an old hen protecting her chick, and stared straight at Qin Shen.

“It’s nothing.” Qin Shen had already asked, and he left with his assistant.

When Qin Shen walked away, Yan Shu’s tough image collapsed and she reached out and patted her chest. God knows how long she has done psychological construction, and how much courage it took to dare to speak to Qin Shen like this. But she had no choice. Qiao Mo was an artist that was dug out in her hands. If Jiang Yu was also dug out, how could she still hang out in the company? If her boss is angry, she hopes that he would keep her in the company for her loyalty.

In the car outside the studio, Qin Shen commanded, “Return to the company.” He looked out of the car window, rubbing his fingertips around the pearl.

He remembered the day he first received the pearl and the day he first met the child.

Qin Shen rubbed his fingertips on the pearl. If he thought about it, he had encountered him twice with the pearls. Is it really a coincidence?
